ADMIT FIGHT ON DRY LAW

Developments in the investigation OF
the activities OF National German
American Alliance by a Senate Judiciary
subcommittee dealing with the King
resolution to revoke its federal charter
came fast yesterday afternoon.
1t was shown that an arrangement
had been made between Or. c. J. Hexa-
mer, former president of the alliance.
and Percy Andreae. president of the
National Association of Commerce and
Labor, whereby the alliance was to
fight prohibition with funds received
from the brewers and distillers: that it
actually received and expended $4,000
so received.
Karl A. NJ Scholtz, speaking as at
torney for the National GermanAmer-
lean Alliance, freely admitted that the
national alliance had fought tooth and
toe nail prohibition throughout the
country. He promised to state this IN
writing for the committee.
IF it is desired to revoke our charter
on that ground, well and good, said
Mr.. Scholtz, but we have severely felt
our loyalty as American citizens in
some Of the testimony before this COM
mittee. We are not SO particular about
the charter, but we ought to be given
an opportunity to refute these charges

Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications as they cannot
reach the diseased portion Of the

catarrhal deafness, and that is by
constitutional remedy. Catarrhal
deafness is caused by an inllamed
condition of the mucous lining OF
the Eustachian tube When this
tube is infamed you have a rumb.
ling sound or imperfect hearing and
it is entirely closed, deafness Is the
result. Unless the inflammation
can be reduced and this tube restor'
ed to its normal condition, hearing
will forever be destroyed Many
cases of deafness are caused by

Crookston, Mimi. March. 15.-A

meeting held at the Office of Adju-

though not o%ficial, it is said that the
board will make its headquarters at
Crookston.
Martin o'Brien of this city will in

Of the board. Hesis. now a member
Of the Fourth district board which is
in session atsDuluth. The new board
will pass on all exemption claims
from the ten counties comprising the
Red, Rivs valley and possibly several
others.
The reason for creating a new board
is that the district board at Duluth
has been handling the cases from
twenty-three counties, practically half
Of the state. and as a result is badly
overworked. Just when the board
will be established has not been made
known.
