National Red Cross receives part Of
the fund, and is in entire accord
with the Council OF National De-
Tense. These bodies are working in
conjunction with the National AS
ISOLATION for the Study and Proven
ton of tuberculosis.
The objects o fthese Red Cross
Seals are manifold. From the stand
point of the patriot whose small
means will not permit contribution
of the amount he would like to, and
modesty forbids his giving these
small amounts, the Red Cross Seals
offer a means whereby his desire to
DO a really humane work may be
gratifed.

The Duluth rip-saw. [volume] (Duluth, Minn.) 1917-19??, 1917-05-19

Failure of the city authorities
to summarily' kill off the "blind
pigs" in Duluth contributed
heavily towards bringing about
the untimely death of Fred j.
Jeffrey, even if not directly the
cause of it.
Early in bright morning Of
Saturday, May 5, Jeffrey was
picked up dead on the sidewalk
in front of the Y. M. G. A. build
ing at Third avenue w. and Sec
ond street. It was given out that
he spent the night with a friend
in the Y. M. G. A., evidently
walked in his sleep, stepped
through an open window and
was dashed to his death on the
cruel pavement three stories be-
low.
The facts are that the unfor-
tunate fellow became deeply in
toxicated at the notorious
"Theatrical Club at No. %,
East First St., where he roAicked
until 2 am. He then rambled up
to the Y. M. G. A. to spend the
few remaining hours of the night.
He was taken with nausea and,
while vomiting out. of a window,
fell to the sidewalk below and
was instantly killed.
A good fellow was taken off
in his prime. A wife was robbed
of a husband. Five little chill
dren were made fatherless.
That outlaw, old John Barley
corn. even on his deathbed in
Duluth, shrieked with fiendish
satisfaction as his victim passed
to another world.
Through failure to close one
of the very worst booze joints
in the city, heavy measure Of
poor Fred Jeffrey's blood must
fall on the heads Of safety COM
missioner Silberstein and chief Of
police McKercher.
That they admit responsibility
in the matter is proven by the
fact that, after Jeffrey was dead
and past all human help, the
"Theatrical Club" was summar-
lily closed by the police authori-
ties.
Fred j. Jeffrey was manager
of the building. paper and station
cry department for the Peyton
Paper Company. He was a cap
able man but one who could not
carry much strong drink and
who could not resist an appetite
for the terrible stuff. It is said
that one bottle Of beer or two
drinks of whiskey made him ir-
responsible.
Had that "blind pig" not been
open in the middle Of the night,
the poor victim of booze probably
would be alive today.
Too heavy a price may be
paid in liquidating political debts
by favored candidates of those
desiring loose municipal govern
ment.
The body Of Jeffrey was dis
covered by Mrs. F. E. Gore from
her residence at No. 1872 Third
avenue w. At first she thought
it was an abandoned bundle Of
clothing. When she saw that it
was a human body, she notified
George Coughlan, night clerk at
the Y. M. G. A., who at once
summoned the police. The body
was taken to Crawford &sSon's
morgue.
The death of this goodefe1low
among good fellows is one,o the
saddest happenings in this city
for many months. Charity might
seem to dictate silence on the
tragedy or even concurrence in
a false story as to the details, but
the young men Of this town need
the pregnant lesson furnished by
the unfortunate mans death.

Many taxpayers and voters
firmly believe that auditor Hal

The previous issue of the Rip
saw had the following paragraph,
viz:
"Once upon a time, after
proper procedure, the Scott Graft
Company of Duluth, a reliable
and honorable firm, pulled $48.75
out Of the county treasury in re-
turn for supposedly supplying
"lumber'' to the Harris road,
mentioned in the foregoing. Com

There are those who ought >to
know where the .$48.75 worth
of lumber really went but the
man who received benefit at the
good-natured expense Of st. Louis

The foregoing paragraph seems
to have peeved some of the court
house boys. Special county at
torney Charles E. Adams stopped
the Rip-saw editor on the street
and accused him Of unfairness,
taking the position that the para
graph really accused someone Of

can do to keep out Of Jail or
what they can do to get into

the paid apologist of county
auditor Halden and such of the
commissioners as take pleasure in
being the auditors tame pets.
Naturally, he was only doing his
share in the general order of
things in taking the Rip-saw edi-
tor gently to task. He did it 20
litely and no resentment was felt
bur it plainly appeared that he
had not carefully surveyed the
premises in which he assumed to
act.
Later in the day, when the
Rip-saw editor was providing
around in the marble-lined court
house, commissioner Walter Swan
strom called at the Rip-saw office
to request the editor to correct
some alleged errors in the fore
going paragraph. He seemed just
a little grouchy and not finding
the editor in, asked a nearby
neighbor Of the Rip-saw office
to call the editors attention to
