The CIutching
Hand Is Loose

Notice is hereby given that a motto
rious criminal is at large in this city
He is the author of a score of crimes
particularly fendish in the methods
employed.
He has completely eluded the po-
lice, for he has left no clue as to his
identity, except a mark of a clutch
ing hand, by WHICH he has come to
be known.
His ways are peculiar, his motive
for activity being indefnable. He
turns up anywhere-attacks any,
body. He goes from a palace to a
lowly hovel; from a little child to an
old lady. The beautiful woman is
not beyond him, nor the strong one.
He does not work in the ordinary
way. His schemes are awful and
CHASTITY. He must be a scientist gone
aWry.
This warning is therefore made in
order to put every family on its
closest guard.
Women! Lock your doors!
Men! Do not 60 out unprotected.
The "Clutching Hand" is worse
han ever was 'Jack the Ripser" for
here the favorite pursuit is murder.
Rewards are offered for the detec-
ton and arrest Of the "Clutching
Hand" Send all information to

How the state university and it's
management stands with the legisla-
ture was evidenced when the senate
finance committee, reporting the de-
partment budget, announced a cut of
$150,000 in the university's request for
a total of $3,900,OO0 for the next two
years. Naturally the protest on the
part of the university management
was long and loud and in answer a
conference was agreed to, but | see
little chance of the big school get
ting its original demands. On the
same day the house made it so un-
comfortable for Representative Saw
yer of Minneapolis, who brought up
his bill providing for an official comp
troller and system of accounting for
the university, that he was compelled
to abandon the measure for the time
being. The bill, in a way, gave the
institution full control of it's finances.

AS pointed out in a previous let
ter the state university is in bad with
the present legislature and the mem
bers claim that they have good back
ing in the voters. They say it is top
heavy and needs disciplining. One
member of the senate finance COM
mittee made the charge the other day
that the teaching staff is so large that
there is, approximately, one professor
to every four pupils. One of the chief
grievances, l find, is what is known
as the university extension course. |
Connected with it are travelling field |
agents and teaching staff whose eff
forts are directed at carrying the |
work of the university and the agri-
cultural college direct to the farmers
of the state. Cooperation is one of |
their chief slogans and this co-opera-
tive idea, the country stores and mer-
chants say, works to the advantage
Of the big mail order houses.

Will get by the Minnesota legislature
this session is extremely doubtful.
The general opinion is that some
amendments to the present laws
should be passed, but no one seems
anxious to take the initiative and
push them. Better than a month ago
Representative Sam Gordon offered in
the house a bill calling for limited
political convention. At the same
time Senator Rustad introduced a du-
pllcate bill in the upper house. Meth.
er of these bills has gotten beyond
general orders and there does not
seem to be any effort to push them.
There have been plenty of opportuni.
Ties to advance the two measures, but
no action along that line has been
taken. Early in the session the
mouse, after stiff fight, put through
bill changing primary election day
from June to September, which was
the old date. Last week the senate,
by close vote, sent it to the discard.
There have been other proposed
amendments to the primary and cleo.
ton laws, but they have either failed
or are still in committee. Another
bill offered is one eliminating the sec.
ond choice provision Most everybody
is agreed that the second choice is
worthless and that so far is has been
more productive of mistakes both in
voting and tallying than any one 9TH
er feature of the present election laws.
Despite this the bill is buried with a
lot of chaff and it's chances of seeing
the light of day are small.
= :. !.
While the wiping out of the nom
partisan provision of the primary laws
as applied to the legislature is not
among the possibilities this year men
close to the rank and file are agreed |
that it will come. No party is held
to be alone responsible for the chaotic
condition of the present legislature
and this fact is slowly reaching the
voters. Knowing this leaders general
ly profess to believe that a return to
party lines, as far as the legislature
is concerned, will be one of the issues
next campaign and that it will con-
tinue to grow. Showing the tendency
along this line w. E. Verify, who is
the head of the newly organized State
league, says that the
pledge cards being sent out by him
are being signed up by the thousands.

The Mistake of His Life.

Velpeu, the eminent French surgeon,
successfully performed a perilous oper.
alton ON little child five years old. The
mother, overjoyed, called at the sur.
geon's office and said TO him:
Monsieur my son 10 saved, and |
really know not how TO express my
gratitude. Allow me, however, 10 pre-.
sent you this pocketbook, embroidered
by my own hands"
Madame" replied Velpeu. in a some
what bitter tone, my art is not mere
ly matter of feeling; my life has its
necessities like yours, and sentiment
must give way to these requirements.
Allow me therefore TO decline your
charming little present, and, IL agree.
able to you, to request a more sub
stantial remuneration"
"But monsieur, what remuneration do
you desired Fix the fee yourself"
Five thousands francs, madam"
Madame very quietly opened the pock.
etbook, which contained ten one thous-
md franc notes, counted out FIVE and,
politely handing them TO Velpeu, re-
tired.

Lawson and the Colorado Supreme Court

The Supreme court of Colorado in
moving for a review of the case against
John r. Lawson, sentenced to life i'm
lprisonment for murder, and in barring
Judge CRANKY Hillyer, who sentenced
him, from presiding at future trials of
strike cases, has done the state and the
country good service. Lawson's case
has had a sinister appearance of vir-
tual conspiracy to make him a scape-
goat for the violence growing out of
the rioting in the coal regions and at
the same time strike blow at organ
lied labor of which he was a chief repre-
sentative. The appearance has been too
impressive to be justly or safely disre-
garded by the highest court in the state.
Judge Hillyer was appointed TO the
bench only last spring by Gov. Carlson,
and previously he had been one of the
staff OF attorneys in the employ of the
mining companies, and, it is said, en-
gagged in the prosecution of strike cases.
IL is not necessary to question the sin
cerity of his conduct of the lawson trial,
in order to find him, under the circum-
stances, sufficiently open TO the suspi-
cions of prejudice, conscious or uncon-
scious, TO make him an unsuitable Judge
in such case This was in substance
the ruling OF the supreme court This
particular ruling will have no direct eff
feet upon Lawson's case, its Importance
emerges from the fact that il will pre-
vent several hundred other strike cases
now on the docket in Judge Hillyer's |
district from coming under his juris-
diction.
The supersedeas writ, staying the ex-
ecution of the sentence against Lawson, |
will doubtless be followed. as its intent /
is, by the supreme courts review of the
case on its merits. The case has a
serious aspect in that it is typical Of
the contest within the state between the
mine owners and the organized miners

out to be the case, the issue between
the United States and Germany over this
latest submarine attack would undoubt-
eddy lose much of it's seriousness
On the other hand, if the submarine
attack took place after the British war
ships were out of sight and range, off,
Gals here contend that it was clearly in
violation of the rules of international
law. In other words, the Arabic, under
those circumstances, would be entitled
to all the rights of merchantmen car
rying non-combatants, her status not
being affected by the fact that she had
had warship convoy previously.
The belief in Washington is that this
question of convoy is going to be the
important one in the present case. Ger
many is certain to seize upon it as
justification OF her act and to use it as
a means of arguing the incident with
the United States. If the case ever
reaches the stage of academic discussion
as to what does and what does not con-
stitute convoy, it is believed here that
the danger point, so far as this one incl
lent is concerned, viii be passed.

ANXIOUS TO KNOW
If THE ARABIC
WAS Conveyed
Answer to Question Will Have an I'm
portant Bearing on Crisis--Wilson
Is Watching the Sentiment
of the Country.

Washington, d. c., Aug. 2l.--Onc ques
ton in connection with the torpedoinl
of the White Star liner Arabic without
warning was being asked yesterday by
all official Washington. On the answer
to that question seems to depend the
seriousness of this latest issue between
the United States and Germany, involv-
| ing the possibility of break in diplo.
matte relations.
The question is: Was the Arabic UNI
der convoy by British war vessels at the
time she was torpedoed and sent to the
bottom7
If it turns out that the White Star
liner was under the protection of British
vessels of this character, she and her
passengers were without rights beyond
those possessed by any ordinary war
ship. This was acknowledged by high
authority in the state department, and
it seems to be the one ground for hope
that the sinking Of the Arabic may not
involve the United States in break
with Germany.
Dispatches from London say that the
Arabic was conveyed from the time she
left Liverpool down the Mersey by sew
eral torpedo boats, which followed into
the Irish sea and through st. Georges
channel. The convoy, according to the
unofficial London dispatches, continued
until its commander believed the zone OF
operations of the U-boats had been
passed. Then the British torpedo boats
turned back, leaving the Arabic to pro-
coed without warship escort.
1t was very soon after this, so the
dispatches say, that the torpedo was
fred and the Arabic went down.
What Washington officials now want
TO know is whether the British war ves-
sells were still in sight. If they were, it |
Is acknowledged that Germany will be
