new ULM IS
SET RIGHT
More Than 10000 Citizens
Participate in Loyalty
Demonstration

New UIm. Mimi. Sept. 6.-New Ulm
placed itself four square with the
nation Tuesday and declared 1t was
ready to fight whenever the call of
democracy may lead.
More than 10000 men, women and
children participated in a great par
ade and dedication program in honor
of the drafted men of Brown county
and voiced in cheers their approval
OF Governor Burnquist's Injunction to
give the kaiser the war he wants.
Reused by the recent anti-draft
meeting, which has kindled a flame of
loyalty meetings throughout the state,
New Ulm set aside a day to place it
self right with the world.
And ii did.
The little city hearkened back to
of the spirit of fathers, who gave life
for the country, now retncarnated In
their sons in the new fight for idemoc-
racy for all the lands OF the earth.
Joining in reputation of the recent
anti-draft meeting, the drafted men
of Brown county themselves unani-
mously adopted resolutions declaring
their willingness to perform any
service the nation may ask and de-
claring any criticism Of the selective
draft a menace to the nation.
The resolutions were drawn to de-
clare to the world that the drafted
men had no part in planning the
meeting Of protest.
Rounds of applause as the parade
led through streets lined with fags
and lit with sparklers of red fire gave
the reputation eloquent emphasis,
while the cheers of approval on pres
entation of the resolution at the mass
meeting made the reputation COM
splete.

CONSPIRATORS AIMED
TO RESTORE AUTOCRACY
Two Women Accused of Being Chief
Instiuators Of Russian
Plot,
fRv Assoclated Press.l

Petrograd, Sept. 6.-The aim Of the
conspiracy in connection with which
Grand Duke Michael Alexandrovitch
and others were arrested, was the
restoration of the autocracy. The
chief conspirators were Mile. Mar
garet Hitrovo, Of Tobolsk, and Nine.
Liubov HitFo, Of Yelaburg, members
of q. well known bureaucratic family,
both of whom were arrested.
In the home of Grand Duke Paul
when he was arrested was found a
mistress of the court, Mime. e. A.
Narychaine, confidante of the former
Dowager Empress Alexandria Eco
doroyna. Nine. Narychaine was not
arrested, but an immediate domt-
ciliary search of her home in Petro-
grad was made and her correspond
ence seized. According to The Biz
zheviya. a number of officers have
been arrested and other grand dukes
have been taken into custody. The
states attorney refuses to divulge
their names. 1t is assumed that one
of the grand dukes arrested was the
candidate Of the conspirators for the
throne.
A special council was held Tues
day bv Premier Kerensky and the
chief ministers at which plans for
future action against conspirators
were drawn up.
An indictment against the Hitrovo
women and their acCompltces already
has been drawn up.

Rule May Be Suspended.
Governor Lynn ]. Frazier has ad-
vised local exemption boards that
while as a general rule drafted men
cannot be permitted to choose the
mobilization call to which they will
respond nor to go with a contingent
of any other local board than that
which has its registration card,
there are exceptions after a man
has been called by his local board
and has removed to a far dis
tant point where the rule may be
suspended, and the registrant may
file an application to be sent with
the contingent from that state in
which he chances to be.
Since the draft machinery has
been put in operation, and especially
since the first five per cent of the
net quota of Cass county's drafted
men have been called, inquiries
have reached County Auditor w. X.
Tucker from men who would like TO
be transferred from Camp Dodge to
other departments in the military
service of the government where
their service could be more efficient.
One man inquired yesterday If he
could not make arrangements in or
der to get into the aviation corps.
Nothing official has been received in
this connection as yet, but the audi
tor was Of the opinion that If taken
up through the proper channels the
government would act accordingly,
as it aims to have all its wings fit-
ted with the best talent possible to
effect more efficiency.

WILL WELCOME PLAN TO
TAKE OVER COAL MINES
Coal Operators In West Say Price ls
Too Low and Strike 10
Threatening.
(By Associated Press.)

Great Falls, Mont, Sept. 6.-The
consuming public will be the likely
loser in the governments action in
placing maximum on the price
operators may receive for coal, ac-
cording to local mining men and
dealers. Coal men OF this vicinity
say that the government took snap
judgment on the coal situation IN
this state without proper investtga :
ton and placed q high price on slack
ccal that the consumer has never
used, and a price on marketable coal
that Is so low as to make profitable
operations almost impossible.
With order cancellations coming in
at d record rate. in view of the pros
pect of lower prices at the mine and
with a strike vote to be taken by the
miners of Montana, Washington and
wyoming, and a good possibility that
the miners win vote to strike for
higher wages, the operators say they
may welcome the proposal Of the
government to take over the coal
mines.

INTEREST CHARGE
ON WATERWORkS
GETS ATTENTION

Should interest on waterworks'
bonds be paid from the waterworks'
fund or by the city?
That question was up at the spe-
ciat meeting today of the city COM
mission during the first reading on
the 1917-1S budget, and the discus
sion of 1t occupied most Of the ses-
sion.
Assistant City Attorney B. F.
SpaldinR, who at a recent meeting
gave an informal opinion on the
matter. was called into consultation,
and will prepare a written opinion.
Robert. Blakemore, commissioner
of waterworks, declares that the city
issued the bonds, and should pay the
interest.
Alex Stern, president, and the 9TH
er commissioners, say that inasmuch
as water users are paying a rate
which should pay the operating ex
pense of the plant, they should not
be taxed for interest on the bonds.
Interest on the outstanding bonds is
approximately $4,000 year.
Heretofore the city had been pay
ing interest on the bonds out Of the
general fund.
Discussion Of the interest subject
was brought on when Commissioner
Blakemore took exception to that
portion of the budget in which the
waterworks' department was charged
with $500 as it pro rata of the salary
Of the city auditor on the ground
that the auditor no longer made the
water collections, and therefore was
not entitled to the pay.
President Stern pointed out, how
ever, that the auditor was hired and
available for audits on the books Of
any city department. Discussion on
this feature was dropped when the
interest tangle arose.
Watkins Calls 5lakennore.
Aroused by an interview in the
morning paper, in which Commits
sioner Blakemore is purported to
have said that the system OF keep
ing of the records of the city admits
Of no check whatsoever" a follow-up
Of the adding machine controversy
which enlivened the regular COM
mission meeting Wednesday morn
ing, City Auditor A. r. Watkins re-
fused to answer a question address
ed to him by Commissioner Blake
more asking why $500 of wateT-
works money had been added to the
auditors salary this year when the
auditor no longer made collections
for the waterworks' department.
I'm the light OF such interviews
as a certain commissioner has Civ
en- a certain newspaper, decline to
answer the question" answered Mr..
Watkins.
Regulates Interview.
Commissioner Blakemore then re-
pudiated the alleged interview, de-
claring that he had been mis-
quoted.
Further consideration of the
budget will take place at another
special meeting Friday morning.
Three readings are required before
passage.

DEMANDS FOR

IN AUGUST

The wages paid for harvesting ana
threshing activities in the Red river

1.-THE demands on the association
during August were much lighter
than In any month this year, said

thusiasm as both Miss Sharkey and
Miss Remington have become favor
ties and deservedly so. go
In the light of the above, which is
the sincere opinion of all those that
were at the entertainment, it is a
source Of great disappointment that
amounts almost to pity, that there
should have been such a handful of
people. The performance should
have been of vital interest to the
school, in that the services of the or
chestra were given to them that they
might swell their athletic fund, Every
member of the school from Seventh
grade up should have been there some
how, and yet it it safe to state there
were no more than 20. Moreover, it
was their duty to make the citizens en-
thusiastic. Nothing could more plain
ly show the lack of audience than the
fact that the proceeds were but SIS,
which did not cover expenses.
