between two of them. Both legs
were cut off below the knees.
No one else on the train saw him
fall, but Conductor o. p Traynor of

The following special report of the
grand jury for Blue Earth county was
filed with Judge w. L. Comstock of
the district court, with the request
that it be given publicity:
ITO the Honorable w. L. Comstock,
Judge of the District Court: We, the
grand jury, beg to submit the follow
ing special report: The greater part
of our somewhat lengthy session has
been spent in the consideration of
alleged cases of disloyalty and sedi-
tious utterances. We have found some
indictments; We have also found a
number of cases which we consider
come more properly under the feder-
al statutes, and in those cases we
have taken steps to have the same re-
ferred to and considered by the prop
er federal authorities.
'In number of other cases, we
have thought it best to take no i'm
mediate action, and the future con-
duct and expression of the persons
under consideration will determine
whether or not the local authorities
or future grand juries will take ac-
ton in their cases. Respectfully sub
mitted, o. M. Hatcher, foreman Will
liam A Johnson, secretary.

Loyalty Speeches; Upholds
C. R. Davis

ST. Paul, December 20.-Rev. Emil
utrecht of Prior Lake was named
as the author of the letter concerning
Sec airy of State julius Schmahl
printed in The st. Paul Daily Volke-
zeitung last Saturday, which created
small storm in the office of the sec
rotary of state yesterday
The Information was given in re-
spouse to inquiries made by L. E.
Campbell special agent of the depart
ment of justice, yesterday.
The letter was written in answer
to news letter from the capitol in
the Volkezeitnng in which the CORE
spondeut mentioned julius Schmahl
as a Tive wire" among state politi-
clans and a strong man as candidate
| for TIE office of governor
1t also referred to speech made
by Mr.. Schmahl at loyalty meeting
in Nicollet county, in which he strong
ly upheld the government.
Translation of the Letter.
A translation of the letter follows
"In the issue of The Volkezeitung
| of Dece~" Der 10, on the last page
politics already have been tapped
There t : opinion finds expression
that julius Schmahl is strong man
who intends to become our next ex-
ecutive.
"The voters of this district have
| not forgotten the speech of this
| strong man with the German name
which he made in this county They
all are waiting for a chance to give
| him fitting answer at the polls. We
shall see where julius will be left
"Inasmuch as there is an intention
to get rid of c. R. Davis, the repre-
sentative of the Third congressional
district, l would like to have our vot-
ers take into consideration that Mr..
Davis has represented us in good
and reasonable way. He :, deserves
our votes and our good word with the
voters.
"He has given expression to the
feelings and desires of the majority
in our electoral district, therefore he
ought to remain at Washington.
Signed: "A Voter and Friend of
the Constitution"
Editorial Note Is Printed.
Mrs. c. H. Bergmeier, manager of
The Daily Volkszeitung, said that
Notwithstanding the fact that the
paper is not responsible for the opin-
ions of the correspondents in the
Sprechsaal, the column in which the
letter appeared, it might not have
been printed at all if she had no.
ticed it before. the paper went to
press. The correspondent at Prior
Lake requested that, the letter should
appear in the Sprechsaal column.
In an editorial note beneath the
letter, The Volkszeitung disclaims the
authorship of the capitol letter, which
was written by Vance Chapman. It
states that the opinion about Julius
the Strong" is the opinion of their
correspondent and need not necessar-
lily be the opinion of The Volkszeitung.

CAN ENLIST IN THE NAVY
Young Men Subject to Draft Should
Take Advantage of This.

Young Men Subject to Draft Should
Take Advantage of This.
Much confusion has arisen in regard
to enlistments in the navy because of
the recent order forbidding a part of
the draft registrants from enlisting.
The general impression seems to be
that all recruiting of registrants stop
ped on December Is.
Navy officers in this district have
sent out a definite explanation of the
ruling, showing that it is still possible
for many men in the draft to enlist in
the navy. All those who are not needed
to fill thecurrent quotas of their local
boards are eligible. All that is neces-
sary for an applicant who qualities
physically to do, is present a certificate
from his local board, showing that his
classifications and order number are
so low that he will not be needed for
the current quota.
This recruiting district has quota
of 800 apprentice seamen to fill by
February %. Recruiting officers are
located in Minneapolis, st. Paul, Du-
uth, Fargo and Grand Forks.
