U. s. AGAIN ASKS RELEASE or
TEuToNs TAKEN FROM
AMERICAN SOIL.
SO SEIZED BY WARsHlP
British Assert Prisoners Engaged In
lntrIgues and Plots Against England
Planned to Continue Efforts and
Violate v. ?. Neutrality.

Washington, April 29.-Secretary
Lansing announced on Thursday that
the United States had sent another
note to Great Britain demanding the
release of the 3S Austrians, Germans
and Turks taken from the American
steamship China by British cruiser
of Shanghai. The ncte was dispatched
and will be given out for publication
later.
Great Britain contends the men were
engaged in intrigues and plots against
the British government and, having
been discovered, were fleeing to Ma
Mia, where they intended to continue
their efforts which would have embar-
rassed the neutrality of the United
States.
London, April 29.-The British note
replying to the protest of the Ameri-
can government against interferences
with the neutral trade, which asserts
the right of Great Britain to regulate
the admission to neutral country of
goods evidently destined for the en-
emy, caused little surprise in diplo-
matte and legal circles here, as its
conclusions had been discounted by re-
cent decisions of the prize tribunals.
A summary of the views of the mem
bers of these circles may be expressed
as follows:
They do not believe the controversy
will be carried much farther during
the progress of The war as no vital
concessions have been made by either
side since the first note was written.
Therefore, the shippers of detained
cargoes who can afford the delay will
await conclusion of the war to
have their cases settled by an inter.
national tribunal in the belief that
such court will grant them full dam.

MORE ADVERTISING FOR CITY

Advertising the city was the main
topic up for consideration of the Com
mercial Club at it's regular monthly
meeting last Monday evening and a
committee was appointed to formulate
plan of campaign and submit it to the
members at the next meeting. The
booklets descriptive of New Ulm recently
published are to be sent out systemati-
cally to people and cities where they will
do some good. The several merchants of
the city will be asked to aid in this dis
tribution.
A communication was read from Mayer
Bros. of Mankato who are contemplating
removing their machine shops to New
Ulm. The communication stated that
it would take about $4,000 of local
capital to get the plant for this city, the
free site offered them recently by the
Club not being deemed sufficient in
ducement.
Otto Lundwall Erickson was elected a
member of the club and the resignation
of F. A. Schrupp, who expects to leave
the city in the near future was accepted.
President Ottomeyer appointed the
following committee to work out the
advertising campaign: P. Liesch, F. w.
Johnson and T. Schonlau.

SHERIFF ARRESTS
REAL ESTATE MAN
FRED GUsECKI 7 CHARGED WITH
TRYING TO BEAT HIS
BOARD BILL
CASE TO BE HEARD THURSDAY
ACCUSED OUT, ON BAIL
=.
MEANTIME


Deputy Sheriff Hermann Jahnke re-
turned last Wednesday evening from
Minneapolis, where he had gone with a
warrant for the arrest of Fred Guseck,
who is charged with having fraudulently
obtained food and lodging at a local
hotel with the intent of avoiding pay
ment. The deputy states that he evi-
IDENTIFY arrived at the West hotel just in
time as he was told by the hotel clerk
that the man he wanted was about to
leave for South Dakota and had already
checked out. Guseck was located, how
ever, and brought to New Ulm, where
he resided at the county ''hoosgow'
until Friday afternoon when he was
arraigned before Justice Henningsen.
The case was continued until Thursday.
Feb. 10th and he was released on his
own recognizance on $3.50 cash bond.
Inquiry develops that the warrant
was issued upon complaint of Andreas
Amann, proprietor of the Merchants
Hotel, where Guseck had been stopping
several months last summer until some
time in October, when he left for Mime
apolis. It is alleged that Guseck wrote
out a check on the Farmers Bank of
Fessenden, So. Dak., for $1OO, but that
Mr.. Amann has never been able to
realize anything on the check. Guseck
it is said, had left in the meantime and
Mr.. Amann made the complaint as
stated.
Efforts were made Monday to obtain,
if possible, Mr.. Guseck's version of the
affair, but his whereabouts could not be
established. According to his attorney
other business matters were requiring
his attention elsewhere, but he will un-
doubtedly be on hand when the case
comes up for trial next Thursday.
While in New Ulm last summer and
fall Guseck was in the land business
both for himself and as representative
of Minneapolis land company.
New Ulm review., 1916-02-09
MARCH FIRST LAST DAY FOR
DECLARING INCOME.

According to statements issued by
officials the income tax law will be
strictly enforced this year and persons
earning more than $4,000 if married and
$4,000 if single will have to declare them
selves before March l if they want to
escape the consequent penalties. AL
though the law went into effect year
ago, but little attention has been paid it
so far, in some cases because people were
ignorant of the law and in others because
people ignored it and were not pushed by
the government.
Single persons earning $4,000 or more
during the year 1915 must make and file
their exemptions, while married in
dividuals earning $4,000 or over must
do likewise. The only exception to this
rule is in such cases where the income is
derived from dividends of a corporation,
the reason for this being that the corpo-
ration already pays tax on such divi-
dends. However, if ones income from
dividends amounts to $4,000 or more,
return must be made on the amount.
Corporations which have been doing
business during 1915 must make return
to the government, regardless of what the
income has been.

building out of gray brick, resembling
rough stucco. Several alterations as to
elevation and other minor details will be

FINANCIAL HELP
TO BUILD BRIDGE
COMMISSIONERS AGREE TO AID
PRAIRIEVILLE HIGHWAY
IMPROVEMENTS
RURAL HIGHWAY CONTRACTOR
MUST WAIT FOR PART
HIS MONEY

A special session of the board of county
commissioners was held at the court
house Friday of last week, at which time
the disposition of several road construc-
ton contracts was taken up and other
matters of minor Importance discussed
and transacted. The road contract
which came before the board was an
estimate still due B. J. Schmitz in the
sum of $1,961.44, for the grading OF
state rural highway No. 81. 1t was de-
cided to pay $1,000 on the contract and
hold the balance until some later date.
The supervisors of the township OF
Prairieville appeared before the board
and presented a petition asking for an
appropriation from the county to aid
in the construction of a steel and concrete
bridge across judicial Ditch No. 1,
located on the boundary line of Brown
and Redwood counties. The petitioners
stated that, the cost of the new bridge
would not exceed 81, 900 and asked the
county to stand one-haf of the expense
This the board agreed to do and the
chairman appointed Commissioners
Palmer and Henle to work in conjunction
with the township authorities in the
letting of the contract and the inspection
and construction of the same.
C. N. Robertson was employed as as
sistant state highway engineer for the
six summer months, beginning with May
and ending with October.
For the purpose of better results in the
repair of the road, State Rural Highway
No. Sd was divided into three sections,
the first to be under the supervision of
Commissioner Henle, the second under
Commissioner Palmer and the third
under Commissioner Polkow.
A resolution was passed asking the
state tax commission to refund to the
City of New Ulm the taxes on lot 4,
block 104 north of Center street. Other
applications for the refunding of taxes
were held over for further investigation.

BRICK BLOCK WILL
REPLACE
NEW BUSINESS BLOCK : FOR
NORTH SECOND STREET AND
MINNESOTA.
FIRST FLOOR ALREADY LEASED
BY CANDY AND FRUIT
~ ....%
COMPANY.

Another of the ancient landmarks of
the city will have to give way to improve
ment and progress during 1916 and a
new and substantial structure will grace
the business section of the city before the
year is far advanced. The building to
disappear from Minnesota street is the
so-called Peuser building, on the corner
of Second North and Minnesota streets,
now and for the past thirty years occu-
pied by the Peuser barber shop. It is at
present owned by DR.. Geo. B. Weiser,
who purchased it about a year ago from
the Peuser estate.
A two-story building will be erected
there during the coming spring and
building operations are expected to begin
as soon as the frost is out of the ground.
The first floor will be arranged according
to the plans of parties who have already
secured; lease on the quarters for a
modern. and up-to-date candy kitchen
and fruit store. These parties are now
operating stores in several Southern
Minnesota cities and have been desirous
of locating in New Ulm for some time
but were unable to secure adequate
quarters in any Of the present buildings.
They give it out that they will make an
investment of approximately SIS, 900 in
fixtures and interior decorations alone,
consequently something on the metro
politan order may be expected.
Although the plans for the new build
ing have not yet been drawn nor all the
miner details as to the upper floor settled,
it is expected that DR.. Weiser will invest
sclesest to SIC, ,000; in the corner before the
bulding is completed, figuring $5, zoo
for the lot and $4,000 for the building.
There will be full basement connected
with the fruit store and the upper floor
will be built suitable for office purposes.
The old Peuser building is indeed an
old landmark of the city. 1t originally
contained only the room now used by the
barber shop and was moved to it's present
location from near the present Eagle
Roller Mills site, where it had been
erected in the late so as one of the
settlements first residences. 1t came
into the hands of the Peuser family in the
early sixties. The old building will be
moved to the rear of the lot and will
