Faribault. August 15.-Albert
Pfaender of New Jim was expelled
tonight from the Minnesota State Bar
association for disloyalty. The ques-
tion of disbarment is already in the
hands of the state board of law eX-
Sminers for discussion.
When the bar association met this
morning, the first order of business
was the recommendation of the board
of governors that James A. Peterson
be expelled from the association. With
this, it is expected, will go the con-
comitant-proceedin toward dis
barment-a matter already discussed
by the state board of law examiners
This proceeding will take place be-
fore the state supreme court.
The board of governors was all but
unanimous in it's vote to expel Mr.
Pfaender. Only one member, A. H
Bright of Minneapolis, opposed ex
pulsion and he solely on the ground
that he believed there had been an
implied agreement with Mr.. Pfaender
to permit him TO prove his loyalty
Other members of the board declared
there had been no such agreement
and the president, G. w. Burlington
showed telegram from Pfaender
responding to urgings by Mr.. Buffing-
ton that he take the opportunity to
be present and reassert himself
Pfaenders telegram failed to reas-
sure members and the vote of ex-
pulsion followed.
. What Committee Recommended.
Expulsion is in accordance with the
recommendation of the association
ethics committee, which tried Mr.
Pfaender and found he had openly
defied constituted authorities of the
state; delivered speeches tending to
cxeate hatred and antagonism to the
American government; made remarks
that were seditious and disloyal; vio-
lated his oath as attorney and gave
aid and comfort to the enemy"
Asserting that there is good au-
thority for the statement that Presi-
dent Wilson had disorders in Mime
sofa in mind as well as lynching in
the south, when he issued his warn
ing against mob rule short time
ago, Charles B. Elliott of Minneapolis
made a strong plea for observance
of law in war times, in. the principal
address before the bar association
this afternoon. He discussed the
violations of International law by
Germany at length and said that in
ternational law was stronger, moi
weaker, for the contempt in which il
has been held by Germany.

Handicapped by HE Name.

The handicap of a poets name was
illustrated In the case Of Mr.. William
Wordsworth, who was the eldest sur
viving grandson Of the poet. Mr..
Wordsworth was great scholar and
a poet himself of high distinction. A
volume of his sonnets was issued pri-
vately some years ago. On account
Of the similarity of his name with that
Of his grandfather, he always refused
to publish any of his poetical writings,
though pressed to do so by the people
of such high authority as Matthew Ar
mold, who described one Of his sonnets
as the finest in the English language.

MOTION PICTURE FILMS.

After a motion picture film has been

shortened here and there, the captions
altered. some parts entirely 'cut' or
deleted and the whole film dressed up
to suit the ideas Of the men closest in

Monthly, but the altering cutting tho

A SUBMARINE BASE.
Il 10 Supply and Repair Station For
Undsrsea Boats.

Il 10 Supply and Repair Station For
Undsrsea Boats.
What is a submarine base?" Well,
a submarine base is, in word, sup
ply and repair station for undersea
boats. Craft Of this kind are very
elaborate and exceedingly delicate
pieces of mechanism; they are liable to
need tinkering at frequent intervals.
Hence there must be a machine shop
on shore at the service Of the boats
when at intervals they return from
cruises. There must also be a store
house containing all kinds Of supplies
and spare parts for the submarines.
Most important Of all, there must be
tanks of fuel oil.
Usually there is attached to the base
q mother ship"-a good sized steamer,
with machinery aboard for making
emergency repairs. The steamer also
carries dynamos, which may be used
for charging the batteries of the boats
though at sea the charging is accom-
plished by the oil engines that propel
the submarine when on the surface.
When 1t is not practicable to estab-
lish such a shore station the mother
ship" may be utilized temporarily as a
floating base.--Exchange.

THE FOUR BENEFIT
Entertainments

The first round of canvassing by the
committees who are selling tickets
for the Red Cross benefit entertain
ments, the first of which is to take
place at the High school auditorium on
the evening of Saturday, February 2s,
has been made and the second tour Of
soliciting ticket sales has started.
The series of four entertainments
will open with the appearance of the
Rob Roy Quartette, an attraction of
more than usual merit. The Red
Cross and High school committees hope
to have the auditorium filled for the
opening number of the entertainment
program, and if hard work on the part
of the committees and loyal patronage
to the local Red Cross count for any
thing, the desiie will be gratified.
This series of entertainments is con-
sidered to be high class in every re-
spect. Following the Rob Roy Quar-
tette, the program announces the ap-
pearance Of Colby, the Cartoonist, for
the evening of March IA. Colby has
been appearing in the larger cities and
on the leading Chatauqua circuits for
years and is among the worlds great
est artists with the crayon.
Friday evening, April 10, Laurant,
the Man of Magic, is listed for the
climax Of the seasons program. As
sisted by his company. this world re-
nowned magician will perform the
same feats he does before audiences in
such cities as Portland. Seattle and
Spokane. For one admission price,
it is possible to see these three first
class numbers on the program, and
also the annual High school perform
ance on May 10th.

Curious Land, curiou. People.

Near Cape Horn, In the islands Of
TERRA del Fuego, live the most curious
people In all South America. 1t rains
or SHOWS or sleets nearly every day,
and yet they look on their country as
the finest In the world. They wear
hardly any clothing and seem not to
feel cold. Because he saw fires ON the
shore the explorer Magellan, the FIRST
European that rounded the Horn, called
the island "the land of fire." which is
almost the worst name he could have
chosen. Their huts are made Of bent
boughs and covered with grass and
give only the poorest shelter The folk
are vain, too, wearing necklaces Of the
teeth Of fishes or seals and painting
patterns on their bodies. Among them
some colors have novel meaning.
White is the sign Of war and red Of
peace. They are great mimics and will
initiate voice and gesture perfectly.

IieW Coal Wan Namad.

The name Of coal was first applied
only to fuel made OF charred wood or
what we call charcoal. says an ex-
change. When the use of mineral coal
began 1t was called sea coal because It
was at first only found along the sea-
shore along with sea weed and other
wreckage cast up by the waves and
thus supposed to be Of marine origin.
From Its resemblance In color and
burning qualities to charcoal. 1t finally
received the simple name Of coal.
