Value OF PUBLICITY
is SHOWN IN ARREST
Two Youths Are Taken Into
Custody In St. Paul
CAR WAS IN POSSESSION
Story Was Published In Free
Press Last Evening; Gave
Clue 10 Alleged Theft

st. Paul, Mimi, April 17.-Conrad
Bierl and jacob Walpori, Youths OF
Mankato, are under arrest here on
the charge of stealing an automobile
from Bookings, S. d. The boys
were placed under arrest at Seventh
and Wabasha streets last evening.
NOte.-This appears to be the au-
tomobile, of whose theft at Bookings
Sheriff Anton Osten received notice
yesterday. 1t was a Ford car of the
1917 model, which was stolen at
Bookings on the night of June Is
The engine number was 2,299,7S9, and
the license number was South Dakota
4244. The car belonged to Charles
Yule of Broollings.
In last nights Free Press a note
was made of the notice that the sher-
if had received. 1t happened that
yesterday afternoon, two boys with
an automobile stopped near the gro
Gerry store OF John C. Kumerow in
North Mankato, and inquired of him
what was the shortest road to St
Paul, if they should go by way oil
could. He was suspicious of the way
in which they acted, and thinking the
auto might be stolen, took careful
note Of the number.
Value Of Publicity.
That same evening he read in The
Free Press of the Ford auto being
stolen at BOOKINGS. The license
number was the same as that which
the boys drove. Sheriff Osten feels
sure that if Mr.. Kumerow had called
him up az once, the boys could have
been headed off before they reached
Fari5auh, and the 500 reward offer
ed by the sheriff at Rrcokings would
have belonged to Mr. Kumerow. In
stead Of that, Mr.. Kumerow let the
matter go until this raorning, and
then called up Sheriff Osten and told
him about it.
The sheriff then called up the Of
ficials at Bookings, but they had al
ready been notified that tee bows who
had the auto Lad been apprehended
at st. Paul.

LETTER FROM AN ELDER
Mormon Says He Came Here
For the Betterment of
Mankat0

To The Daily Free Press: To the
people of Mankato and whom this
may concern. In answer to the sew
eral articles that have recently ap-
peared in the columns of this paper
| in relation to Mormoms and the ped
ding of literature, l wish to say this:
We elders of the church of Jesus
Christ of Latter Day Saints are
Mormon missionaries as you name
us, came to your city for your good
and betterment. We came with the
message of the gospel of Jesus Christ
as it has been restored in it's fullness
True you did not invite us here, we
came because we were sent by God.
and whether it be right in the sight
of God 70 hearken unto you more
than unto God, judge We. Is not this
| a land of religious freedom? 1t ap-
pears that some have judged before
they had knowledge of what they
were judging. Should we bear false
witness against our neighbor? Also,
let the accuser remove the beam from
his own eye before plucking the mote
from his brothers eye Christ told
His disciples in this wise: 'In what
place soever We enter into a house
abide there till We depart from that
place, and whatsoever shall not re-
ceive you nor hear you, when We de-
part thence shake off the dust under
your feet for a testimony against
them. 1t shall be more tolerable for
Sodom and Gumorrah in the day of
judgment than for that city and we
are servants of Christ sent unto YOU.
And | say of our work be of man it
will come to naught. But if it come
to God We cannot overthrow it lest
happily We be found to even fight
against God.-Eider 0. d. VanOrden.
Club women. OF Mankato are greatly
| inCenSed over the fact that Mormons
are being permitted to canvass the
! city, and are endeavoring to ascertain
| ii something cannot be done. to stop
the practice. Women Of the city in gen.
eral, including housewives, clerks and
StenOSraphers, as well as business
| men, express themselves as opposed
to having their homes canvassed by
Mormon agents.
Up to noon today the Mormons had
failed to take out the license granted
to them by the city council last Mon
day. If any citizen can report that
Mormon agents have sold their books
in the city since that time such Nor
| mon agent is amenable to the law, was
the opinion of City Attorney Phillips
given to the committee Of the Art His
tory club this morning.
L
According to the city attorney the
council was required to issue the Ii
cense in question, unless the council
men were satisfied that there was
| fraud connected with the peddling of
| the books. Licenses must be issued by
the council for the sale of any legiti-
| mate object.

Editor Shaw's recent editorials about our ex-governor, the Hon. J. F. A. Strong, of Fredrickstown, New Brunswick, are amusing if not instruc tive. In them he would have one be- lieve that the late Gov. went forth from Juneau with a French verdict or Not Proven"
 Now L. F., old sport, do you think for single moment that any goou Am erican would for a moment leave the stain on his character that he was Cannuk if he had any out?
 We admit that Editor Shaw might have a little grouch coming from the fact that his brand of democracy was questioned in his recent trip to the national capital, because the same was vouched for only by the man from Fredrickstown.
 But that is no reason why he should come back here and further cruelty his former employer by exposing him to further criticism for his slight der election in completely passing up our naturalization schedule.

 Much work yet remains. Today the new men of twenty-one are being reg istered and must be speedily classified. On the first of next month the Local and District boards will be invested with the still further responsibility of preventing idleness and of unproduc- tive employment which is not effective to tn eaNtion in the emergency.
