Owatonna, January 21.-One Leo
Peterson, travelling salesman, was
taken into custody Monday after he
had cashed a check for eighty dollars
purporting to have been drawn in his
favor by John Myers of Chatfield
He secured the cashing of the check
through procuring the Endorsement
of an acquaintance, a young lady
clerk in one of the stores, who,
after thinking it over, sought advice,
with the result that Peterson was
jailed pending inquiries. So far the
police have been unable to find any
one at Chatfield who knows of any
John Myers. The disposition of the
case depends upon developments.
Peterson meantime is being held in
the city Jail.
that was filed in the office of Judge
of Probate Evan Hughes for the ad-
ministration of the estate of the late
Increase A. Pelton, the bulk of which
estate was left for Methodist mis-
sionary work in the Philippine is
lands, the estate was figured cut to
be much larger than it really was.
The petition gave the personal prop
erty at about $1,000, whereas it
should have been stated at about $21,-
600. The real estate estimate of S42,-
coo has also been found to be some-
what too large.

He has associated with him and formed
around him a ring OF political trickstcrs whose
oin IS to fleece the territory, for his and their
benefit.
Governor Otero's unDoDularitv with the
masses is such that he could not be elected
to any office within tie Gift Of the pe0ple. not

When a politician can, within a few short
years, make a record as a democrat. a white

other time as a democrat. and all the time but
once with an office, he is some politician, all
right, and should be given full credit. The
statesmen tell us how to do it, but the poll

FUrCENIO ROMFRO'S LETTER.

VI - i'-' A'''
The following is a letter from Hon. Eugc-
MO Romero, the father Of Secundino Romero,
by which he introduced Hon. Manuel c. de
Baca to the President. Mr.. Romero was at
that time chairman of the republican commit
tee Of San Miguel county, and member of the
state committee. Mr.. Frank A. Hubbell was
lat that time chairman of the republican state
committee. Because both of these men re-
fused to support Miguel A. Otero for reap
pointment to the office of governor, because
of his corruption in office, his extravaganza
in the expenditure of the peoples money, and
his dictatorial and autocratic manipulation of
public affairs, he sought to retaliate politically.
He filed charges against Mr.. Hubbell and
issued an order removing him from office
Mr.. Hubbell immediately went into court and
was reinstated by the supreme court. which
also ordered full remuneration for the time he
was prevented from serving.
Manuel c. de Baca, for whom the letter of
introduction was written. WAS a brother of the
present democratic candidate for governor,
and his corpse would c~onvulse in its grave if
it could today behold his brother and Miguel
A. Otero campaigning together for office the
one on a campaign of sacrifice for a political
failure. tne Otner on a campaign OF personal
publication.
Mr.. Romero's letter in full is as follows:

TEACHERS TAXED TO PAY BILLS OF
 POLITICAL PARTY

San Juan. Porto Rico, Aug. 15- Correspondence of The Associated Press-Mayor Rafael Rivrera of Esbri, Ponce, the second largest city of the island, may be removed in view of his conviction. on a charge of con spiracy to violate the civil service laws of the island in forcing political contributions from teachers in the public schools. He was sentenced to six months ir, jail and was fined $5OO and costs. He appealed.
 At the trial which has just been concluded, it was proved that the mayor had admitted the debt of $28,- 900 of Uniohist partys at Ponce, of which he was one of the leaders, was almost completely paid off through the system of levying assessments on the school teachers and other municipal employees. Teacher were compelled to contribute various amounts, usually 10 per cent. of their salaries. to obtain appointments in the schools. Con- victed with Mayor Rivera were Eduardo Wys, secretary of the local party organization, and Alvaro Safa- tello, another party leader.
 Rivera's conviction was the most recent of a dozen or more politicians and officials in various sections of the island; who were found guilty of fore ing political contributions from the island teachers. Several more remain to be tried.

ROCKEFELLER PLAN
 FAILS IN COLORADO, AYERS LABOR HEAD

Colorado Springs, Aug. 15.-A wide range of topics is dealt with in the annual report of John McLennan, president of the Colorado State Fedefs ation of Labor, submitted to the con vention of the federation here today.
 The so-called Rockefeller industrial plan' adopted by, the Colorado Fuel & Iron Company is declared to be an unqualified failure.'' The industrial committee and workmen's compensa- tion laws of Colorado are severely criticised in some respects and praised in others. Conditions in the coal min ing fields are reviewed and glowing report is given of the growth of unionism in the state and legislation regarded as necessary is outlined.
 Reviewing the so-called Rockefeller industrial plan, President McLennan says:
 This plan has been advertised as a cure-all for 1abors ills; but it has in reality failed to cure anything They sought to give their non- union work men something which would make them imagine they were organized The plan is an unqualified failure from every standpoint
 Referring to the effects of the re- cent coal strike, President McLennan says Conditions have been improved, but not because of the Rockefeller plan but because of publicity, gained during the strike.

 DYES RECEIVED
 BY Ny. HOUSE

New Yerk; Aug. -15-The first con- signment of dyes brought from Ger many by the submarine >freighter Deutschland has been received by colofifig company in this city and con stitutes the first shipment of the kind to reach this city from German man ufacturers since the beginning of the war. Other dyestuff users here re- ceived bills of lading for some of the Deutsch1and's cargo which is estimat- ed to have included about 200 tons of dyes valued in excess of $1.000,000.
 It is reported that 1igh-prices are demanded for these dyes but one of the consignees here said that it was absurd to believe that fabulous profits will be realized on their sale. He declared that the cost of the dyes in Germany is at least twice what it was before the war, that freight and in surafice charges are three times as great, and that the dyes brought by the Deutschland were not in the form of a paste, composed of 10 and 20 per cent. dye and the rest paste. but are 100 per cent. dye.

REPuBL BLlCANS IN
 TENTH TO SPLIT ,ON NOMINATION
Kearns Has Opponent for Al- derman This Year Ifl
 Arthur A. Baker.

Trouble is brewing among the Re- publicans in the Tenth district over the aldermanic nomination. The se- cond term of Alderman William R. Kearns in the common council will end in November and although the alderman has said nothing, it is known that he has purchased residence out of the district and it was generally accepted that he would not seek a renetninatioh but that he would soon move out of the district.
 Friends of Arthur A. Baker of 6 Armstrong place have placed his name in the running for the nomination for alderman. Now Alderman Kearns has changed his mind and has decided he will make every effort to procure a nomination for third term. A very pretty contest Is tdeveioping. Alder mafi Kearns naturally will have the majority of support of the administra- tion and the machine. Mir. Baker is depending on his friends and assoei- ates in the district. He is promine- in several fraterna1 organizations in cluding the Moose; Odd Fellows and Foresters.
 Senator John M. O'Connell. Repub- licarl from the 22nd district has again arifieurieed that lie will again be a candidate. He holds a position in the office of the labor commissioner at Hartford but he does not believe this will interfere with his aspirations to sit again in the senate.

ARGENTINE PROTESTS
 TRADE BLACKLIST

Buenos. Ayres, Aug. 15-Publication today of the Argentine note regarding the British trade blacklist and of Great Britain's reply shows that Ar gentina requested that the British de- cree of Feb. 29 be repealed or modi- fled on the ground that it interfered with domestic commerce. A note pre- sented by this government on June 26 requested that the decree be ap- piled in accordance with it's text with out affecting commerce between neu- tral countries.
 In his reply, on Aug. 10, Sir Ed ward Grey, the British foreign minis ter, exfessed the belief that Argeh- tina's prosperity did not depend upor busihess eoficerns in countries hostile to the entente. Great Britain hat taken precautions, the reply said, t. avoid injufing firms actually of Ar genuine nationality, but was bound t. witch the transactions of firms actinf as agents for firms in Teutonic cour1' tries.

 Justice of the Peace H. c. Tucker issued warrant yesterday charging King with murder in the first degree in connection with the deaths of Phelps and Mrs. -Iolcott. He de- clined, however, to make public the name of the complainant.

 The announcement that King had taken back everything he said in his original confession did not surprise Stuart M. Kohn, attorney for the Mu- tua} Welfare League, who was one of those who advised Mrs. Humiston to hasten to Albion. MT. Kohn said that the mans original confession was made freely and, cofroboration of a: least three important details in it has been obtained.
 NouHSeI TOT StlelOW went over some of the legal matters involved in the case yesterday and were satisfied they would get a new trial for Stie- low, the condemned man, at the court proceedings before Justice Redenbeck in Rochester on August 23.
 Misha Applebaum, founder of the Humanitarian Cult, said last night:
 The Humanitarian Cult is fighting for chance to show Stielow innocent, if he be innocent, but we are princi- pally fighting against the barbaric third degree system and capital pun ishment, the carrying out of which prevents the truth from becoming known. If Kings confession is not legal we would fight just as hard to free King as we are fighting for Stie- lows freedom"

SUBMARINES IN
 MIMIC BATTLE
 RoU1 INVADERS

Washington, Aug. 15AAn inter esting sham battle fought in foggy Weather off the Atlantic coast by rival bquadrons of the fleet resulted in the successful defence of the coast from "enemy" attack and the destruction of the "enemy'' submarines by the de- lending squadron. A report on the theoretical battle was made to Secre- tarly Daniels yesterday by Rear Ad- thiral William g. Benson. chief of fia- Val operations, who has just returhed from weeks visit to the fleet.
 The Atlantic fleet after leaving Newport, R. l.. was divided into an Saemy attacking force having as it's object raid on the coast and a de- lending force to repuise and destroy the attackers. Each side had battle 4hips, destroyers and auxiliary craft, as required in war. The rival forces then separated.
 The first problem for the defenders Vas to locate the attacking force, Which threatened to strike at any point within a considerable radius. As the weather was hay and at times Almost fosey this task was difficult The smaller craft steamed out to pur- Sue the search, and word was later Wirelessed to the battleships that ''enemy" submarines had been lecAted Stealing shorewhrds
 / A sharp enkasefneht followed De- tween the underwater craft and the smaller type of vessel screening the battleships. The foggy weather ap- barently permitted these smaller yes Sells to reach tho submarines before they could subfnerge, and the three toundersl and ,three-inch guns made olnakters too hot for the saenemys'a sub fharines. Such of. them that could not submerse in time were theoretic- ally shot to pieces and the attack was effectively repAlsed. AA5g
