TRAIN SERVICE ON G. W.
From tuesdays nalIs

from TUESDAYS Dal!v
During its last meeting the Man
ksto Commercial club took up the
matter of the poor passenger train
service On the Great Western rail
road and committees were appointed
TO see what could be done toward bet
tering the conditions. Previous to
this Secretary Soaring had written TO
the division superintendent of the
road, ]. w. Mulhern, and today re-
ceived letter from him under date OF
| February 5. In his reply Mr.. Mulhern
says.
I'VE will have to confess that since
taking over the Nankato line neither
the passenger nor freight service have
been satisfactory to ourselves any
/ more than 10 cur patrons, and we
rather looked for a lot of trouble at
first; first, because Of the zero
weather; and second, because of our
employees, who are newly returned to
the line, being somewhat Frightened
at the reports OF the track End bridge
conditions, and therefore mot taking
full advantage of the facilities offered.
ncte, however, there is an improve
nlent from day to day, and believe
with the moderation of the weather
that we will be able to give 'on time'
service in a few Gays. At least we are
working strictly to that end. You are
respectfully assured that it is the at
titude OF the Great Western to work

Pickit's word that there were no
more Irregularities on books of board
of investment except total of $22,-
443 so. "Mr. Pickit told me of ir-
Irregularities of $4,443 SO in addition to

been discovered.
The entire amount has been covered
into the state treasury. Mr.. Pickit
sent a messenger to the capitol today
with the $4,443.50. This last irregular

warrant issued for lean on a ST.
Louis county school district. Preus
said that Pickit made statement that
these are all the irregularities that
will be discovered. Pickit made a
statement to newspaper men in which
he begged clemency from public and
admitted that his work had been ir-

- St. Paul, February S.-lrregu-
Iarities totaling close to $4,000
in the handling of the permanent
trust funds of the state of Min
nesota, are alleged by State Au-
ditor j. A. o. Preus, who asserts,
however, that the entire amount
has been covered into the state
Treasury" Preus asserts that
school warrants with the forged
school treasurer's names, were
cashed in the office of the state
treasurer, and then placed out on
deposit pending the settlement of
the litigation regarding the Ie-
gality of certain schools. The
largest warrant is for $4,000 and
this money is said to have been
deposited in the First National
4 bank at Biwabik after the war
rant had been sent to the Cooper
Meyers company at Duluth.
