JUDGE LAUDS SAFETY
' BOARDS AND GOVERNOR

Minneapolis, Mimi, Aug. 9.-That
Governor Burnquist deserves high
credit for the manner in which he
backs up the war, and that the Min
nesota Public Safety commission has
performed it's duties in a. commend
able way since the organization of
thta body, was the statement made
by Judge William E. Hale in district
court, during the hearing on an ap-
plication for a temporary Injunction
against the commission in the case of
William R. Carroll, a Blooming
Prairie saloon keeper.
II will say right here that so far
as have been able to learn the Pub
lie Safety commission has acted con-
scientiously and without prejudice to
any person or persons ever since its
organization" said Judge Hale. "In
this particular case they had condi-
tions in Blooming Prairie under in
vestigation for considerable time, and
found that the interests Of public
safety demanded the closing Of the
Saloons"

CUT IN FUEL WOOD
RATES IS SOUGHT:
CONFERENCE TODAY

St. Paul, Aug. 9-Reducti0ns in
freight on feul wood will be urged by
representatives Of the State Public
Safety commission and other state
departments at conference held to-
day with the State Railroad and
Warehouse commission and officials
of railroads operating in the timber
districts Of Northern Minnesota.
Chairman Ira B. Mills of the rail-
road commission called the confer
ence.
State Forester w. T. Cox said that
the freight rates on fuel wood are
higher than on logs and other forest
products.
This hearing is on petition of
Charles S. Carter of Bemidji, Will
liam Lennon of Kelliher and Charles
Hayden of Blackjack, represented by
E. E. Mcdonald and D. H. Fisk, at
tOrneys, to secure an order for the
duction Of freight rates of fuel wood
from points in Beltrami county to Be
midi. 1t is asserted that practically
every class of logs and timber has
cheaper freight than the rate of wood
for fuel and railroad tariffs substan-
tiate the claims.
The arguments is that If coal is to
be curtained and the use of wood for
fuel urged, as is the case, then low
rates should prevail on the fuel wood,
or as low as on other wood used for
other purposes.
