GRAIN GAMBLERS CURBED
New Rule BY Chicago Board of Trade
Stopped Them.

Chicago, H., July 12-Grain gamb-
lers are out of a job on the Chicago
Board of Trade. The recent action
of the directors, fixing prices on
grain futures, has cut out the gamb-
ling altogether. Distant futures in
oats are about all that is left to
speculate upon, and owing to the
sympathy between oats and other
grains, it is believed that there will
be no chance for gambling even in
the distant oats futures.

KATO BOOZE STARTS ROW
Young Men Engage in Warfare al
New Ulm On Fourth.


New Ulm Review: A young man
giving his name as Walter Coombs
was arrested on the afternoon of the
Fourth, taken to the county Jail and
Thursday morning arraigned before
Justice N Henningsen, charged with
being drunk and disorderly. He was
arrested while in the Becker restaur-
ant on South Minnesota street. G..
III. Becker. proprietor of the restaur-
ant was also arrested and locked up,
for having struck Coombs over the
head with a billiard cue. The latter
displayed bad cut on the head
from the effects of the blow. In court
Becker claimed that CoombS came
into his place in the middle of the
afternoon in an intoxicated condition
and while in the restaurant insulted
Mrs. Becker, and put UP hard fight
when he attempted to eject him from
the restaurant. In the scuffle Beck
er said he was getting the worst of
the battle and in self defense he
struck him with the weapon. Coombs
said his home is at Madison Lake,
that he went to Mankato on the
Fourth, there he spent greater part
of the forenoon drinking in saloon
in that city, and where he became in
toxicated. He, with some compan-
ions, came to New Ulm on the after
noon train, expecting to go to work
on farm. Somehow the Mankato
whiskey, which he believes is little
worse than any other brand in the
world, got the best of him, and he
was unable to remember anything
that happened after he boarded the
train at the Blue Earth county me-
tropolis.
AS a result of his story he was
fined S. and costs, while the case
against Becker was dropped.

The committee also recommended the
adjustment of all Offices but president,
vice-president, secretary, treasurer and
chairman of the executive committee, and
to substitute for all other offices board
of directors of twenty-one members, from
which the chairmen of the various COM
mittees should be chosen
Another recommendation was made to
raise the per capita tax of organizations
from seventy-ive cents to one dollar, and
in addition to charge the organizations
for shkolim for each member, this tax to
be payable semi-annually.
Both these recommendations were
adopted.
Another recommendation by this COM
mittee to publish monthly periodical of
Zionist activities within the district, was
promptly defeated by few forcible re-
marks of DR.. S. N. Deinard of Minneap-
oils, who called attention to the numer-
Gus organs now being published and
pleaded for their support, and opposing
the additional expense of another Jew

anticipated Rabbi c. David Matt opened

Max Shulman as the presiding officer. DR..

The third business session of the meet
ing was opened Monday morning at the
Convention Hall with the reading of addi-
tional greetings and kilograms which had
been received.
The report of the Illinois State League,
giving in detail the work of the league,
and urging the organization of State
leagues wherever there were sufficient
societies to warrant it, for the reason that
more efficient work in the dating of speak
ers, and in doing other propaganda work,
could be accomplished by cooperation of
societies within smaller contiguous terri
tories. The report was favorably re-
ceived.
On the program for the morning was
the reading of two papers, one by DR..
Albert B. Yudelson, of Chicago, and the
other by Professor Kallen, but owing to
the amount of business necessary to be
taken care of during the day, Professor
Kallen's talk on The Jewish Congress was
not reached. DR.. Yudelson, rabbi, doctor
and instructor, closed the morning ses-
sion by the presentation of paper on
the Status of Hebrew Education in Amer
lea, in which forcible plea was made
for the establishment of Hebrew schools,
which would give to the child real reas-
oning knowledge of the Hebrew language.
After brief noon recess, during which
committee meetings were again held, the
committees presented their final reports.
