Claims Title on Technicaiity.

Special Correspondence A. P.
 SAN FRANCISCO, Cal-Followers of boxers in California were interest," ed in the report that Freddie Welsh, former lightweight champion, still was claiming the title by advancing the technicality that he was not counted out by the referee when defeated re- gently by Benny Leonard. The great battle between Ad Wolgast and Bat ting Nelson was recalled when the former won the title from the Dane in the forty third round of what was scheduled as a forty-flve round match. Nelson, battered and bleeding, was fighting blindly through sheer in- stinct and the bout was stopped by the referee to save the defeated man unnecessary punishment before the inevitable knockout. Boxing men point out that the technicality Welsh is said to be a boomarang on himself for if he did not lose the title, nelth- CT did Nelson and so the title could not have descended 70 him.

BABY BLIZZARD
!. VISITS CITY
Christmas Season Usbsred
in ~ Snow, Strong Wind
and Falling Temperature

A.Christmas baby blizzard visited
Grand Forks yesterday. The day be-
gan with mild and misty weather. but
aboutSnoon the temperature began its
downward march and snow fiurries
danced in the air. I An hour later the
,hurries had developed into a "reg'lalr'.
snow storm, and at the same time the
velocity Of wind increased ~noticeably.
Shortly after Z o'clock the now
storm had abated somewhat, but by
that time the temperature had gone
below the critical>Eero point with the
result that fur coats and caps very
suddenly made their appearance in
the streets.
The night wa partially lightless, as
per regulations. but this fact did not
cause any accidents-at least, none
has been reported.
Trains arriving in the city were
from I'M hour to three hours late.
The prestige of the weather fore
casters was g%lortously upheld. They
had announced that Sunday would
bring snow and q sudden fall in tenn
!perature,s allSof which came true.
J During the night.the mercury! kept
on sinking steadily and this morning
at 8 o'clock 1S and 20. degrees below
Zero we're registered on the local
Thermometers. 1t looks as though
lthis part OF North Dakota Is facing
Ianother cold wave.
In view OF that forecast. inquiries
were made today re%gardingsthe supply
of fuel. and coal dealers said that
There was no reason to feel anxiety or
worry. The situation was pretty we'll
in hand. and the fact that the federal
administration has announced its will
ingness, to increase the maximum or
der, of2coal from one half to one ton
apparently indicates that fuel is. il
not plentiful, pretty satisfactory.

PLACES DEADLY BOMB
IN CHICAGO THEATER
Former Postal Clerk Confesses That
He Was Responsible For
Placing Explosive.

Chicago, Nov. 23.-Reinhold A.
Faust, former postal clerk and nat
uralized German, who confessed to
the police late last night that he
placed a bomb in the Auditorium the
alter last Friday night, during per-
formance of grand opera, was ques-
toned further today.
Faust said that he did not intend
the bomb should hurt any one. He
believed it would intimidate wealthy
patrons Of the opera, by which means
he said, he hoped to obtain $780, 900
from ]. B. Forgan, chairman, and
Frank o. Wetmore, president Of the
First National bank, to whom he had
sent letters demanding that sum.
1t was through these letters to the
bank officials that detectives effected
Faust's arrest. At his home the po-
lice found a bomb, the exact dupli-

PRICE OF POTATOES
MAY Be MADE $l.75
Sale Has Stopped Since Council
Meeting Wednesday Night
COMMITTEE MEETS TODAY
Rossberg Declares Curtis Resolution
Has Had Effect of Putting Quietus
on Business-May Ask for Another
Appropriation.

Alderman o. F. Curtis, by his with
drawn resolution in the council on
Wednesday night in which he at
tempted to lower the price of NUM-
cipal potatoes, has successfully spiked
the guns of the farm committee and
has effectually stopped further sales
of potatoes at the present prices of
$1.90 and $195 per bushel, according
to William E. Rossberg, auditor of
the committee Mr.. Rossberg states
that Immediately the public became
aware of a move to lower the price
of potatoes they ceased sending in
their orders and indications now are
that no more municipal potatoes will
be sold until a definite solution of
the price question is obtained This
action on the part of the public, how
ever, is but natural as they are hold
ing off in hopes of getting cheaper
rates, it is claimed. 1t is under
stood that if the rates are lowered
the committee in charge will insist
on refunding the proper rebate to all
persons who have already purchased
potatoes at $1.9O or $1.95.
The members of the municipal
farm committee will hold a meeting
in the mayors office at 4:SO this after
noon to discuss the situation. The
committee, realizing that it is a crea-
ture of the common council and hav-
ing evidence that the council is not
entirely satisfied with the price al
ready fixed, is said to be ready to dis
cuss a change in price, possibly to
Sits per bushel. A this afternoons
meeting the committee will also at
tempt to ascertain whether or not it
has the right to expend money re-
ceived from the sale Of potatoes to
pay other bills, or whether such re-
ceipts go into the general funds of
the city.
Unless the committee has tho right
to use Its receipts for payment of
other bills it will be necessary to go
before the council and ask for another
appropriation, even in addition to the
one of $4,000 engineered by Alderman
Curtis On Wednesday night. In pre-
senting this resolution, Alderman
Curtis said it was to permit the farm
committee to pay for the seventh car
load of potatoes as we'll as other bills.
The amount would be more than
sufficient to pay for the seventh car
load of potatoes, but inadequate to
pay the other bills. The report of
Auditor w. B. Rossberg shows that
there are unpaid bills of $716.71.
There is also the much disputed police
bill of $799.35 as we'll as the 1852
for the last car of potatoes. This
totals s2,36S.O6, or $368.O6 more than
the amount suggested by Alderman
Curtis and even this does not include
every bill as there are several addi-
tional amounts for the fixing of stor-
age rooms, to say nothing of the cost
of handling and delivering the
potatoes.

CLAIMS HOSPITAL
TURNED BOY AWAY
Father of Dead Child Ac-
cuses Authorities at
Hartford Institution

Joseph, the five year old son of Mr..
and Mrs George A. Coons Of 80 Pleas
ant street, who moved here from
Rainbow, Windsor, last Sunday, died
last night from diphtheria with which
he had presumably been suffering
when brought to this city. This is
the first death in the city this fall
from diphtheria.
The child's mother told the local
health department that the little boy
had been sick about a week before
being brought here and upon the
health department learning of the
nature of the case Tuesday DR.. H. F.
Moore notified the Windsor authori-
ties.
The child's father made state
ment today in which he blamed the
authorities at the Hartford isolation
hospital for possibly Fastening the
death of his little son. Mr.. Coons
said that he was notified by local
medical authority and the health
board to take the child to the Hart
ford isolation hospital and he engaged
Michael Sullivans taxicab for the
trip. On arriving in Hartford he
claims that the child was refused
admittance on the ground that prev
10 us arrangements AS1u AOS NOOAA AAASS~S'
He started back for New Britain, but
stopped en- route to phone to his
physician who advised him to return
to the hospital. He did so and was
again refused admittance, he said, on
the ground that there was no room.
Mr. Coons says that he was compelled
to drive back to New Britain with the
sick child and he attributes it's death
to the fact that 1t suffered consider
able exposure on the trip to and from
Hartford.
| The child's funeral was held this
| afternoon and interment was IN
Fairview cemetery.
