|tSPLIT TICKETS" NO LONGER
PERMITTED.

The opportunity to save railroad fare
by buying "split tickets for interstate
traffic in territory where passenger tariff
increases we're granted recently have
been blasted by the railroads calling
attention to a federal law which pro-
hibits the practice.
The Western Passenger Association
announces that all agents have been
warned that the federal statute provides
a $1,000 fine and two years Imprisonment
for selling, purchasing or honoring on
trains socalled 'split tickets or several
tickets at the rate Of 2 cents mile from
state line to state line, instead of through
interstate tickets to ones destination.
There is nothing in the law, however,
which prevents person from purchasing
single ticket to the state line and there
making another purchase to a point
beyond.

Apportiomlng Preparedness Erpemes

The Chicago Tribune figures in its
issue of December 27, that the per capita
expenditure for the navy in 1915 is $1.45,
land per 500 of wealth, .0687." But
it neglects to add that the expense was
not apportioned per 500 of wealth. It
was paid principally through tariff and
excise taxes on consumption. The share
of such taxes paid by a bachelor million
aire for the support of the navy amount
ed to no more than one-fifth of what was
paid by $40. a week laborer charged
with support of five individuals. The
same applies to the most of the proposed
new taxes to pay for the preparedness
program. These are taxes on consump-
ton and, however trifing they may ap-
pear to some, are a. serious matter to
that half of the wage earning fathers who
get but $500 year, and even to the two
thirds of the adult male workers who
get less than fifteen dollars a week.

"HAPPY HEINE" PLEASES.

While the old time ''Mellerdrammer'
has rather gone out of style, even for
road companies, occasionally one comes
to town and all assertions to the con-
trary, people like them. Such a play
was Happy Heine'', the Sunday night
offering at Turner Hall. Mr.. Ben
Holmes as "Heine" was most pleasing
in his role. His speaking voice was
delightful and when he sang in soft,
mellow tones, the German songs we'll
known by his audience they were favor
ably received. The hit of the evening,
however, was the astonishing singing
voice of the heroine Katie. Naturally
she has a deep rich contralto, noticeably
low, even in speaking. After a most
pleasing solo in this voice, she quickly
changed to lyric soprano selection and
rendered that, apparently with equal
ease and finish, altho she saved her voice
from strain in the change by singing the
high notes very softly for the most part.
Her range was very wonderful, and very
unusual. These two people as actors
were quite satisfying in their roles and
carried the show and made every thing
come out right, spite Of the villain, which
part, by the way, was played by a
brother-in-law of Mr.. and Mrs. Herman
Helm.

There is a rumor in circulation that

A Verdict Not Above Suspicion

If confidence in the courts is to be
maintained, then such verdicts must
not be allowed to stand, as the conviction
of Mathew Schmidt at Los Angeles.
The verdict comes at the end of trial
the fairness of which seems improbable
aside from the fact that the prosecution
itself was a breach of faith. It is de-
plorable if there has actually been another
verdict obtained by methods that pre-
vailed in the trial resulting from the Hay
market affair at Chicago. 1t would be
disgraceful if after nerly 30 years it should
still be possible for convictions so obtain
ed to be upheld by the higher courts.

Shortages aggregating approximately
100000 are charged to Carl Gersten-
maier of St. Paul, we'll known in this
city, which amount he is said to have
embezzled as treasurer of several German
Lutheran Church societies of St. Paul.
He was arrested in New York under in
structions from the St. Paul police, who
were acting on complaint of the society
officials. A complaint was issued by
the county attorney of Ramsey county
and warrant will no doubt follow with a
request upon Governor Burnquist for
requisition papers. The complaint
charges Gerstenmaier with having mis-
appropriated $4,000 in city certi-
ficates and $11 ,O76.30 in cash.

COLD WAVE HALTS
GRIP" EPIDEMIC
SIX HUNDRED CASES IN CITY
BELIEVED CONSERVATIVE
ESTIMATE.
COLD SNAP PRECEDED BY GALE
SWEEPING FROM CANADA
TO GULF.

That the biting cold which followed
close upon the heels of the blizzard of
last week will have tendency to reduce
the alarming number Of cases OF sickness
in the city, is tt e opinion of local ply
sicians, who had been working night and
day answering sick calls for the two
weeks preceding. While the exact num-
Ter Of people afflicted with grippe, severe
cold and other aggravating if not serious
cases of sickness, can not be ascertained,
it is estimated that they reached total
of at least 800 the first week in the new
year and nearly twice that the week
following. The slight snowfall, followed
10y rising temperature, produced the
kind of weather that breeds la grippe
and pneumonia, as is evidenced by the
causes of several of the deaths during
the past week.
Extreme cold generally hats an cpl
demic and it is believed that the cold spell
following the storm has already had it's
good effects.
The blizzard of last Wednesday, was
one of those old-timers, even if it did not
last the usual three-day period. Be-
ginning with a heavy snowfall, the
mercury began to drop and the wind in
creased until it reached the velocity Of
a gale. The storm reached it's heightk
during Tuesday night and the next
morning the mercury registered the col,
Ge5t of the winter,-34 degrees below
zero.
Trains, both from the east and west
failed by several hours of keeping uE
their schedule and the trouble shooters
of the telegraph and TELEPHONE lines were
led a merry chase repairing breaks ir
the lines caused by broken poles anc
wires.
The storm was not local affair by
any means. It began in the Canadian
Northwest and swept down through the
Dakotas and Minnesota and did not
spend it's fury until it reached the Sunny
South, even entering parts OF Louisiana
and Florida. At Prince Albert, Canada
the temperature dropped to 48 below

NEW ULM CIDER VINEGAR ABOVE
STANDARD.

What to do with the surplus apples is
a question that turns up every season
when the apple crop natures. To assist
in solving this question, VIM. Pfaender
Jr. of the Pioneer Nursery Company
has experimental a number of years in
making cider and cider vinegar, and has
produced some fine apple wine, sparkling
cider and cider vinegar.
Prof. w. G. Briefly of the University
Farm of St. Paul who is investigating the
problem of making cider vinegar on the
farm, and who read a. paper on this
subject at the late winter meeting of the
State Horticultural Society, Dec. Sill,
requested Mr.. Pfaender to furnish him
with sample of his cider vinegar fo1
analysis, which was done. The follow
ing letter explains the result:

has been analysed, with the following
results:

Total Solids .2.45 per cent

The vinegar is therefore we'll above the
standards required by pure food laws
and would be pronounced an excellent
quality of vinegar.

the submarines week of inactivity.
They believe. on the other hand.
that she may be hiding out some

Naval officials said they believed
the liner Adriatic was out of danger,

on the other side. They said they
did not believe any submarine COM
mander would take the responsibility
of attacking any boat with Americans
aboard as far out at sea as the
