ARGUE MOTION TO
TAKE FROM JURY
Defense in Andrews Chemical Works
vs.. Max koehler Asks for In
structed Verdict.

Plaintiffs side of the case of An
drews Chemical works against Max
Koehler, suit for $4,000 for alleged
breach of contract, was completed in
circuit court this morning and adj
iournment taken until 2 o'clock this
afternoon, when motion to take the
case from the jury and find the issues
for the defendant was argued before
Judge f. d. Ramsay.
An interesting point was raised yes
terday afternoon by c. j. Searle, who
attempted to cross examine DR.. A. l..
Hageboeck, Davenport, relative to re-
ports which DR.. A. L. Andrews is al
legged to have sent to the defendant
and to the company concerning his in
vestigations conducted in Europe into
the matter of processes used in the
manufacture of oXalic acid.
Objection was made by S. r. Ken
worthy of counsel for the plaintiff to
cross examination along this line,
claiming that it was properly a matter
of defense. He held that there was no
averment tina. there was any fraud
practiced in the reports and that as
Andrews was as much an agent of
Koehler and of the company, was not
a proper matter for cross examination.
Judge F. D. Ramsay upheld this con-
tention.
L. d. Pasche was called to the stand
this morning and testified relative to
conversation alleged to have been
held with Mr.. Koehler in which the
latter is said to have stated that the
sale Of the property was going
! through.

ItaIy's Ancestral! GIories.

Three times has Italy ruled over Eu,
rope. She has sat on the political
throne under the Caesars, on the &C.
clesiastical throne under the popes
from Gregory the Great to Leo X. and
on the intellectual throne of the renais-
sance. These things every Italian fam
lily remembers. Augustus Caesar and
Trajan, Hildebrand and Innocent I'LL,
Dante and Petrarch. Michelangelo and
Raphael. Galilei and Bruno are in his
mouth like household words. The Ital-
ian does not consider himself and us as
equals; he accepts, he believes in. mod
ern democracy, but deep in his heart
he is an aristocrat, haughtily proud OF
his long descent and his ancestral glO
ries. When thinking of Italians one
must always bear in mind that they
out Of all the peoples Of Europe, have
the most glorious past and that they
are conscious of it to the quick.-Henry
Dwight Sedgw1ck in Yale Review.

preservation of this nation and the
peprpetuation of that ibetry for which
it stands. Comparatively few of those
who participated in the great strug-
gle of that dark period of American
history are today alive. Most OF them
are sleeping in the land they helped
to make free and in the reunited
country for which they were willing
to die. The immortal service which
the soldiers of the Civil war render
ed to all of us who in our generation
are enjoying the results Of their sa-
crifces, together with the valor OF
those who fought in the Spanish
American war for a righteous cause,
can never be forgotten by the patri-
otto people of grateful republic.
Let US, therefore, on Memorial
Day, Tuesday, May 80, 1916, close our
public buildings, schools, stores, fac
tories and other places of business,
and upon that day suspend labor OF
all kinds, in order that we may hold
appropriate memorial exercises, dec
crate the graves of the heroic dead
and again show our gratitude to
them, who in the days when our
country was in great danger SO
bravely went forth to it's defense.
Heretofore the children of ou1
schools have been addressed by the
old veterans on the Friday preceding
Memorial Day, but this year, by rea-
son of the large decrease in their
number and on account Of the age
of those who remain, a special re-
quest comes from them that our state
and our municipal authorities and oul
citizens generally volunteer theil
services for this particular purpose
All, therefore, are hereby especially
urged to assist in perpetuating this
patriotic custom, inaugurated by the
Grand Army of the Republic, to the
end that every school in the state
may be visited and the future guard
ans of the nation be inspired with the
spirit of true loyalty and patriotism.
In witness whereof, I have here.
unto set my hand and caused the
Great Seal of the State to be hereto
affixed, at the Capitol in the City Of
st. Paul, this 10Th day of May, 1916.

that if he is nominated and elected
that he will be one of the livest wires
