TWO WOMEN ASPHYxIATED
AT HOME FOR THE AGED

Mrs. Mary Heinen and Mrs. Helen
Turbis, two aged women who lived at
tire St. Alexander Home for the Aged.
were suffocated while sleeping in their
room, during the night Tuesday of last
week. Their bodies were discovered
tie following morning when one of the
sisters visited the room. A gas Jet in
the room was partly turned on, but how
it became so will probably never be
known. The gas jet, which was foot
higher than the electric light, was used
only in emergency cases, and had not
been touched so far as known for many
months. It is beloved that one of the
women, arose during the night and in
pulling the electric light cord the latter
became entangled with the jet, turning
on the gas.
Acting Coroner Weiser, after viewing
the premises and considering the situa-
tion, decided that both deaths were
accidental and an inquest unnecessary.

JUDGE ROSS DIES:
ILLNESS is SHORT
HEAD OF PROBATE COURT FOR
-,
MORE THAN TEN YEARS
PASSES AWAY.
RESIDENT OF BROWN COUNTY
OVER HALF. CENTURY; HERE
A DECADE.

This city was shocked Friday evening
when it become known that Probate
Judge George Ross had passed away at
his home on South Broadway, after a
brief illness. It was generally known
that Judge Ross was sick, but it was not
believed that he was seriously so until
the day before his death. While the
Judge had not been in robust health for
several years, he had been able to attend
to his usual work in his office at the court
house until about ten days before his
death. At that time he confined to his
home by what was considered an attack
of the grip. His condition, however.
gradually grew worse and end came with
less than two days warning.
Here Ten Years
Mr.. Ross and his family had been
residents of New Ulm for about ten years,
when he was elected to the office of Judge
OF Probate, moving here from Springfield,
where they had resided for number of

PEACE MESSAGE SENT

Late last week Prof. A. Ackermann
sent two messages urging peace,
addressed to President Woodrow Wilson
and to Congressman Frank F. Ellsworth
at Washington. The messages, which
were identical in wording, were as follows:
Representative citizens, familiar
with public opinion, beg to submit this
community does not want war. Ameri-
cans were warned to keep out of danger
zone in Mexico, why not warned to STAY
off ammunition ships. Wall street and
ammunition manufacturers is not voice
OF the people. He kept us out of War

FATE OF SALOONS

SENATE PASSES BILL ALMOST
AS 1T WENT THROUGH THE
HOUSE
CHANGED TO MAKE
INEFFECTIVE ON JULY 1,
1920.

Prohibition, of the "bone dry type
will become effective in Minnesota
July 1, 1920, providing the voters de-
eide to have it that way. The prohi-
batory amendment will be voted on at
the next general election, in November,
1918. The House bill to that effect was
passed in the Senate, by vote of 40 to
16. There was only one change, and that
was setting the time when the amend
ment is to take effect, ahead six months.
to July /, instead of January f. tt is
understood that the House will concur
in this change.
The bill will now 60 back to the House
for concurrence. Leaders of both fac
lions predict that the lower branch
would approve the change made by the
Senate. The governors signature is
not necessary.
No Signs of Friction.
Those who expected to witness a real
field day. in the Senate were disappoint-
ed. All of the differences between the
various factions had been ironed out
before the Senate met to consider the
measure as special order of business.
The vets had asked that the time
limit be extended IL months. The
Senate temperance committee had so
amended the House bill. The radical
drys wanted the Senate to fix the date
the same as in the bill passed by the
House.
Compromise With Vets.
At conference between the radical
drys and some of the ''near" drys, it
was decided to compromise with the vets
on the six months extension. The bill
was sent back to the temperance com
mittee and there amended to read JULY l.
1920.
The constitutional amendment to be
approved or disapproved by the cleo
torate would forbid the manufacture,
sale, disposition, gift, or transportation
of liquor within the state. ~,=
With the amendment practically out
OF the way, dry leaders are now check
ing up votes for the statutory prohibi-
ton bill. 1t is understood that some
of the dry leaders are convinced that
the statutory measure has no chance
of passage.

EDITORIAL ASSOCIATION AT
ANNUAL MEETING TALK OF
RETIREMENT.
E ENGAGEMENT OF FIELD SECRE-
TARY is AMONG THE pos
SIBILITIES. ~.

Country and city newspapers were
we'll represented at the annual meeting
of the Minnesota Press Association, held
at St. Paul Thursday, Friday and Satur-.
day of last week. The sessions were
held at the St. Paul hotel.
Propose Change in Law.
The newspaper men went on record as
favoring return to the party converl-
ton, by repeal of the non-partisan
primary election law, or rather modi-
fication of the measure. The principal
objection to the law as it now stands.
as expressed by many of the editors, was
that it does not place enough responsible
ty on the candidates.
Among those favoring the change were
Fred E. Hadley, of the Winnebago City
Enterprise, new president of the organi-
cation; Gunnar Bjornson of Minneota;
Jens K. Grondahl of the Red Wing Re
publican; Sam Y. Gordon of Browns
Valley, former lieutenant governor; and
several others. =" .Efr
Opposed by Frank Day.
Frank A. Day, editor of the Fairmont
Sentinel, in opposing the proposition,
said:
"A return to a convention is return
to boss rule" he said. when 1 was
chairman of the Democratic state central
committee I could have usurped my
power to the extent of naming all of the
candidates to be approved by the con-
vention. I happened to be benevolent
despot. We do not want to return to-
the convention system in any FORM"
One of the most important questions
to. come before the association was that
pertaining to the creation of central
bureau with field secretary to standard
ize advertising rates and promote other
interests of country newspapers. w. P.
Kirkwood, Professor of Journalism at the
University of Minnesota, suggested that
the university provide the field man, if
such an office be created. -.
Greater interest in all matters of bene-
fit to the publishers was taken than in
any previous meeting of the association.
Actions of Association.
Among other important actions taken,
the association:
Endorsed simplified spelling of certain
words. -: -
Pledged support to the national
government in defending American rights.
: Approved reforestation plan for
Minnesota.
Endorsed efforts to relive. print paper
and pulp shortage.
Returned the committee revised
constitution that would bar from active
participation in the association all MEM
bers not actively engaged in newspaper
work.
Hadley Elected President.
Is Fred E. Hadley, Winnebago, was
chosen president. Other officers elected
are: Farley E. Dare, Walker, first vice
president; A. O.. Moreaux, Luverne,

FOUR MEASURES FAVORABIE To
ORGANIZATION ALREADY
ACTED UPON

During the first two weeks of February
tour measures indorsed by the American
Society OF Equity, were reported favor
ably by the house grain and warehouse
committee, and passed in the lower
branch of the legislature and are now
up to the Senate. They are as follows:
Four Bills Paso House
House File %, introduced by john
son, to provide for the enactment of a
cooperative corporation law in Mime
sofa.
House File "a, introduced by johnson,
TO prevent unlawful discrimination in
the purchase Of grain between different

United States where grain is handled
extensively.
IN each instance were passed by
practically the unanimous vote of the

on the Senate, which now has them before
it for consideration.
The concurrent resolution was passed
by the vote of 72 to 26; and the follow.
ing members of the house, who claim to
represent farming communities, voted
against it; Hompe, Konzen, Putnam,
Southwick and Tollefson.
The track scale bill is still in the hands
OF the committee, as are the other
other farmers measures endorsed by the
Society of Equity.
Writing to the Review, the Secretary
OF the State organization says:
Realizing that it will be more diff
cult to get these bills we are supportinx,
through the Senate than it was to have
them passed in the House, your legis-,
lative Committee asks your assistance
and must have it to do effective work.
Therefore, every local union is requested
to draft a petition to the Senator from

Council Monday evening, the action of
the Light and Water Committee in
effecting settlement with John Fussner,
whose 1O-year old son was seriously in
jured, while playing with loose electric
light wire, was confirmed. The accident
occurred near the Fussner home on South
Minnesota Street. Since that the bow
has been in serious condition, and it is
said his health has been impaired, tenn
porarily, at least. The committee re-
ported that Mr.. Fussner had agreed to
release the city from all claims for
damages on receipt of $3.50 and the
medical and other expenses incurred
since the accident, the latter amounting
to $131.45, making total of $381.45.
Action Confirmed.
But little argument was required for
the council to decide that the offer of
Mr.. Fussner was very fair one and the
action of the committee was ratified by
an unanimous vote. It was said that
the boy received at least 1000 volts,
and there was much wonder expressed
that he was not killed.
Election inspectors for the coming
spring election and registration were ap-
pointed as follows: .-&..,-s
First Ward-Fred Behnke, Fred Ha-
mann and A. s. Dorm.
Second Ward-W. Eibner, Theodore
Mueller and Hugo Gebser.
Third Ward-L. B. Krook, Christ
Filzen and Charles Brust, Str.
The request in the form of bill for
extras in the contract of the Healey
Plumbing & Heating Company for the
water works extension on State street,
amounting to $560.42, was disallowed,
the council considering that the company
had been paid in full and the city's
obligations cancelled. A final settle
ment was made at the regular monthly
meeting, two weeks ago. The Healey
company claims that number of service
boxes were placed that were not covered
in the contract.
Contract With Road Made.
Acting City Attorney Erickson pre-
sented a contract with the Minneapolis
& St. Louis Railway Company, relative
to the side track used by the city water
and light department in unloading coal
at it's plant. At the last regular meeting
Mr.. Erickson presented a contract that
had been submitted by the railroad
company, in which he pointed out
number of flaws and loopholes. At
that time he was instructed to prepare
another one, which he thought would be
right, which he did Monday night. The
contract as sent here by the railway
company,.if accepted by the city would
have given the railroad right to build
side tracks, spurs, ETC., without further
leave of the city. The new agreement
will be sent to railway headquarters
after it has been duly signed by the
mayor and city clerk.
Lease Is Renewed.
The lease for the ground on which Fire
Engine House No. 8, on the North
western Railway Company's right-of-
way, between Center and South First
Street, is located, having expired, it was
renewed for term Of FIVE years, at a
total rental Of 81.

TO BE PACKED
IN MOTH BALLS
Three Big Games Today VIII End the
Interest as Far as the Western
Conference is Con-
cerned.

CHICAGO, Nov. 24.-The western
conference football season of 1917 will
be packed away in moth balls this af-
ternoon with fitting ceremonies.
Three big games will attract thous-
ands of spectators, despite the fact
the championship was decided last
Saturday
These are the northwestern Michi-
gan, Illinois-Minnesota and Chicago
Wisconsin contests. The latter two
are entirely superfluous, because the
schedule makers couldn't foresee that
Ohio State would cop the title again,
because it's rivals eliminate each other
in early season arguments.
The Evanston battle holds the stel-
lar position because it represents. the
prodigal Michigan's return to the big
ten fold after twelve years of eastern
revelries.
The Wolverines, despite the Penn
sylvania set back, are the favorites.
Minnesota is picked to smother Hi
nois, while Wisconsin is given the
edge on the Maroons.
The one inter-sectional game Is the
Michigan Aggies, Syracuse affair at
East Lansing.
The farmers haven't won in six
starts this year, and there isn't any
reason to believe they will break this
record.
State titles will be decided when In
diana meets Purdue, Iowa meets Iowa
State and the Colorado Miners meet
the Colorado Aggies.
