sentiment was in favor of it. A vote
was then taken by the eight towns
to ascertain the six towns of the eight
represented as to whom would COM
pose the circuit of six members. The
ballot showed the following decision:
Melrose, votes; Sank Centre votes;
Long Prairie, 8 votes; Osakis, 8 votes;
Alexandria, votes; Glenwood 1 vote;
Willard, 3 votes; st. Cloud 8 votes.
Glenwood and Willard being stricken
from the list, the other representa-
tives then settled down to business
and decided to place the opening date
of the league on May 23rd. Three
games apiece with each member of
the circuit will be played, and the
winner at the end of the season will
be awarded the pennant as well as
the $25 guarantee from each team
that is put up as guarantee to fin
ish the season. The schedule for the
season will appear in these columns
in the near future. Undoubtedly the
Sank Centre Grays will open the seas
on at home.
Sank Centre was the instigator of
this proposition and now it will be up
to them to make a showing. A good
pitcher has been signed, and it may be
necessary to hire a catcher. This
calls for the support of the fans and
it is hoped that they will respond in
the effort of the local management to
capture the flag. - $500

LEAGUE is LAUNCHED u
of Six Cities to Open the Season
on May 23rd.

4 The final meeting of the Central
Minnesota Baseball Association took
place in this city Wednesday after
noon at the Commercial Club rooms
The following towns were represent
ed: st. Cloud, Alexandria, Long Prair-
lie, Melrose, Osakis, Willard, Glenwood
and Sank Centre.
NJ. Gallagher, who represented st
Cloud, stated that the Granite City
was in favor of entering the circuit
provided that two out of the three
games that the other members play
with st Cloud be played at that city
Long Prairie and Melrose were
strongly in favor of letting the Saints
in under those conditions as they stat
ed that he difference in the crowds
that would attend there would more
than offset the objections. Each
club representative then manifested
their opinion on the matter and the

Osakis Keeps the Sank Centre High
School Boys From Scoring in
First Game of Year.

CSauk Centre took the count in the
first game of the season at Osahs
Saturday, the score being SO in favor
of the home team. The Sank Centre
boys went into the contest without
sufficient preparation and it is more
than coincidence that the number of
their errors corresponds exactly to
the number of runs scored by their
opponents. 1t was the errors that lost
the game, although the Osakis team
had an edge on the visitors in strike
outs and stolen bases. The Osakis
team played errorless ball and man
aged to get their hits when hits
counted. Two runs were made in the
first, two in the sixth and one in the
ninth. Sank Centres only chance
came in the seventh. Lee was first up
and smashed out a double to center.
Fairs single advanced him to third.
He tried to stretch it for an extra
base and was nailed at the plate. Hop
kins struck out, Schlichte popped up

INCREASING White
Way SENTIMENT
SAUK CENTRE BUSINESS MEN
UNANIMOUS IN FAVOR OF
IMPROVEMENT.
EXPENSE WILL NOT Be HEAVY
COUNCIL THOUGHT TO FAVOR
PLAN AND WILL INVESTI-
GATE THE COST.

The white way" sentiment has
spread very rapidly among the Sank
Centre business men the past few
months. The Herald has interviewed
a number of leading business men and
heavy taxpayers on this matter re-
Gently and the sentiment is decidedly
in favor of the improvement.
Under present conditions Sank Cen
tire does not present a particularly in
viting appearance to strangers who
may have occasion to pass through OF
to spend an evening here. Other
towns not nearly as large, enterpris-
ing or beautiful have long since had
block after block of white way, and
the experience has been that the i'm
provement is worth much more than
the cost.
The Herald does not favor the in
stallation of massive posts, but large
enough to be of practical service. Six
clusters Of lights in an ordinary sized
block would be sufficient for all prac-
teal purposes.
The City Council are said to look
with favor upon the proposition, and
it is now quite certain that before
early fall the principal business
streets Of the city will present a mod
ern and business-like appearance.
The plan most favored is to white
way" Third street from Birch to Oak
streets, or from the City Hall to the
McCracken & Burgess corner, and
Main street from the Northern Pacif-
ic to the Great Northern depots
Probably about six clusters of light
will be placed to the block.
Sank Centres finances are in
splendid shape and it would not work
a hardship upon the citizens to prop
erly light the business streets of the
town. The Herald does not believe
that it would require bond issue to
make the Improvement.
1t is certain the council will make
the improvement as soon as they be-
come satisfied that the business in
terests of the city are ready for it
Boost for the white way.

Employees in the Department of
Public Property, at the Capitol, lost a
chance to come under the civil service
established by the State Board Of
Control, when the Senate, by vote
of As to 10, killed the Gordon bill,
which sought to take the Capitol from
control of the governor and place it
under the board.
The Capitol janitors, elevator men
and other helpers will continue to be
subject to the "spoils system" for at
least two years longer.
The governor under the law is Gus
todian of the building. Under him
are the custodian, his assistant, sup
erintendent of grounds, and a secre-
tary as officers who are in direct
charge of the big working force which
keeps the building looking spick and
span without and within.
Then why is the governor in charge
at all? Or if he is, why are the Off
GERS needed to look after the employ
ees? About all the governor does in
his capacity of custodian is to say who
shall be employed under his working
custodian. 1t seems that the proper

Piece of Boiled Potato Lodges in the
Windpipe of Little Bernard Orth
Saturday Noon.

While the family of Nicholas Orth
were enjoying their midday meal
Saturday a piece of boiled potato
became lodged in the wind-pipe of
their infant son Bernard. After SUI
per-human efforts by the family fail
ed to dislodge the potato, physician
was summoned, and he came post
haste. He, too, was unsuccessful and
as last resort the babe was taken to
Minneapolis and placed in St. Mary's
hospital, where death followed on
Sunday.
The remains were brought back to
Sank Centre on Monday, and the fun
eral was held at St. Pauls Catholic
church, conducted by Rev. FIR ART, at
nine o'clock. Interment was made in
St. Paul's cemetery. The babe was
a year and two months old. The be-
reaved parents have the heartfelt
sympathy of a large number of
their friends in their sad affliction.

RESTED IN FORT SMITH, ARK,
ALLOWED 10000 BOND TO BE
FORFEITED.

Kansas City, Mo, May 23.-Bond
of $2O0 600 for Guy Hartman, accused
of conspiracy to defraud the govern
ment in connection with the alleged
operation of a mOonshine still in Fort
Smith, Ark, and the sale of the liquor
through distributing agencies in a
number of cities in the south, was
declared forfeited by Harry L. Arnold

day when Hartman failed to appear
for preliminary hearing. George
A Hartman and John Ferabee, de-
PENDANTS in the same case, were
bound over to await the action of a
federal grand jury in Fort Smith
Government officers assert that
more than twenty five persons were
engaged in the same conspiracy,
which they say cost the United
States more than a quarter million
dollars and extended into eight states.
Nine other men are now under ar
rest in Fort Smith in connection with
the case.
Hartman's counsel told the com
missioner he had z telegram from
Hartman at FL Paso, Tex, stating he

ALLEGED
HORSE THIEF
NOW IN JAIL
PARTNER SAID TO BE INSTlGAToR
OF CRIME MAKES TEMPORARY
ESCAPE HAS SERVED TIME
BEFORE.

Luther Mitchell of the Fox neigh
bOrhood was lodged in the county jail
by Deputy Sheriff Jake Williams yes
terday with a charge of larceny Of
live stock and burglary against him,
and Dave Matthews, also of Fox, is
in hiding, with officers on his trail.
He is charged with the same offense.
1t is alleged that Matthews and
Mitchell stole a pair of horses from
Pipe Davis of Fox, took them over
into Garvin county, and traded them
off. The horses have been recovered
by the owner.
Matthews has served two terms in
the penitentiary for horse stealing, and
the county attorney states that if he
is caught he will try and have the
limit of the law invoked the next time.
This is the first time Mitchell has
been in trouble, and the officers are
inclined to believe that Matthews is
the principal cause of the boys down
fall.
The county Jail has another inmate
this morning, in the person of Walter
Shelby, who was recently discharged
from the penitentiary, where he had
served a short sentence for forging
the name of A. C. Young, by whom
he was employed, to a check, and
getting the cash on same from West
ehimer & Daube.
Saturday, the county attorney sta
ted, Shelby presented a check, with
the name of Walter Pennell signed
thereto, to the State National bank,
which was not regular, and he was
arrested and placed in Jail for in
vestigation. This morning some
friends of Shelby made an effort to
have him released, as it was reported
to the county attorney that a COM
promise could be effected with all
parties. The county attorney re-
fused their overtures, and stated he
was going to send Shelby back to
the penitentiary, if it was proven that
he was guilty as charged.

PROHIBITION IN RUSSIA
AFFECTS THE PAWNSHOPS

Moscow, May 24.-Prohibition of
the sale of vodka and other intoxi-
eating drinks has effected a striking
reduction in the business of the mu-
nicipal pawnshops. Notwithstanding
the high prices of foodstuffs and
clothing entailed by the war, the
population is steadily losing its
dependence upon these institutions,
as is shown by the following figures:
For the first quarter of 1914, the mu-
nicipal pawnshops made 2O4,453 loans
aggregating s1,222 ,145.
During the corresponding quarter of
the present year, there were contract
ed 12S,O1O loans, totaling sSS6,S57.

Rome, via Paris, May 24.-Italy is
at war with Hungary. With
the issuance of the general mobiliza-
tion order, the Italian government is
sued a proclamation declaring war
on Austria, which officially will begin
today.
Prior to this, and after a lengthy
consultation, the ministers of war and
marine proclaimed all the provinces
bordering on Austria and the islands
and coast towns of the Adratic in
state of war, which was equivalent to
the establishment of martial law, the
step usually preceding the formal
declaration.
Although drastic action has been
looked for mOmentarily, Italians OF
all classes have been electrified by
the swiftly moving events. Early
Sunday great crowds gathered around
the Quirinal to await the ministers,
who called on the king for the pur-
pose of discussing the situation and
signing DEGREES.
When Premier Salandra and Signor
Sonnino, the foreign minister, left
the palace, the people cheered them
enthusiastically General Zueppeli,
minister OF war. and Vice Admiral
Niale, minister of marine, remained
with the king for a considerable time
after the others left, and later they
had a conference with Lieutenant
General Cadorna, chief of staff, and
Vice Admiral Phaon Di Revel, chief
of the naval staff.
When the first blow will be struck

months of preparation the army,
which has been greatly strengthened,
and the navy, are ready Exceeding
ly strong forces are in position all

the last, doubtless in the hope that
some way might be found to prevent

dent in Italy are concerned, every eff.
fort has been made to see them shfe-
