DEMURRER WAS UPHELD
JUDGE DECIDED STEINHAUSER
TRUE BILL Is FAULTY
New UIm Newspaper Publisher
Was Indicted BY Federal
Grand Jury

After hearing the arguments
of both sides on the motion vi
Attorney c. c. JosIyn, appearing
for Albert Steinhauser to quash
the indictment against him, Judge
Booth sustained the motion at
three o'clock this afternoon and
declared that the indictment
against the defendant was
quashed.
The court stated, however, the
grand jury was still In session
and that the defendant should
remain here to await thee pos
sibe further action in his case.
Insomuch as the indie mont was
quashed because of multiplicity
of charges contained within it, it
is probable that in further action
the grand jury will bring no more
than single indictment against
Steinhauser.

Albert Steinhauser. publisher of
The New Ulm Review and The Post,
appeared in the federal court this
morning to answer the indictment
which was returned against him yes
terday by the federal grand jury.
Steinhauser is being defended by At
torney G. G. JosEyn of st. Paul and
at the opening of court Mr.. Joslyn
withdrew the plea Of not guilty, en-
tered by the defendant yesterday aft
ernoon and filed lengthy demurrer
with the court. He also moved the
court that the indictment be quashed
because it was bad for the duplicity
and the multiplicity of the counts
contained therein.
During the greater part of the fore
noon Attorney Joslyn argued the de-
murrer, claiming that the alleged
crime set forth in the Indictment did
not constitute violation of the gov
eminent statutes; that prosecution OF
the case would be a violation of the
first amendment Of the constitution
that the indictment is not specific
and that il contained a multiplicity OF
counts.
Total of Nine Counts.
In the indictment returned there
were a total of nine actual counts
brought against the defendant. The
first three of these were for publica
ton in The New Ulm Post Of July
5. 1918, in which quotations from
German papers were used under the
head of General News-Americar

LIKE A LIMA BEAN
JOINS NAVAL UNIT

Muskegon, Mich, Jan. 2S-George
Cowley of Muskegon, a noted long dis
lance runner in his prep days, decided
recently that he wanted to join the
naval reserves. He went to Chicago
and presented himself for examina-
ton.
Cowley is six feet tall and is built
on the lima bean plan. He did not
make much of hit with the examin-
ing doctor, who questioned him re-
garding his physical ability.
"Oh, have done some long distance
running and l feel certain that l am
in good physical condition" said Cow
ley
The doctor became interested and
they talked for a few minutes about
mile races. 1t developed that the ply
sician's brother was a clever miller. .
Yes, and during his prep career
he was beaten but once, said the NJ. d.
What did you say his name was?''
asked Cowley
The doctor told him Cowley smiled.
What was the name of the fellow
who beat him.
"Oh, fellow from Michigan named
Cowley-1 forget his first name"
Il am the fellow" said Cowlev.

Motor boat clubs in the states of the
central west, or Mississippi valley ter
ritory, through the parent organiza-
ton, the Mississippi. Valley Power
Boat association, will meet within the
next thirty days to make formal plans
for the 1918 racing season.
The government has requested the
continuance of racing during the war
for many reasons, one of which is the
fact it stimulates interest of boatmen,
from whose ranks Uncle Sam has
drawn thousands of recruits, already
we'll trained, for handling submarine
chasers and for other war time duty.
Several big racing events are in
prospect for 1918, the most noteworthy
o. which, from the standpoint of west
ern interest, is the meet of the Missis-
sippi Valley association, which will
draw the fastest boats in America for
the events which usually decide the
American championship.
The time and place of the 1918 meet
remain to be announced, but it is prob
able Peoria, the famous western rae
ing center, will make a bid for this
years classic, as Peoria produced one
OF the greatest boats of 1917. Miss
Peoria, which still seeks opportunity
to prove its claim to the speed crown.
Other boats which are being depend
ed upon for the 1918 meets are the
world champion Miss Detroit H., a
new Detroit boat to be known as Miss
Detroit's Sister, the 1916 champion.
Miss Minneapolis, and new boat
which Chris c. Smith of Algonac,
Mich. producer Of recent champions,

TO BENCH THAN ANY

st. Louis. Mo-, Jan. 2S.-Miller Hug
gins, former manager of the St. Louis
Nationals. now manager of the New
York Americans. probably has sent
more pitchers to the bench in the last
two seasons than any other manager
in the major leagues.
Higgins has been criticised for his
methods in handling twirlers, but he
still stands up for his ideas, and when
asked If he intended to apply his sys-
TEN to the New York team, replied in
the affirmative.
why leave pitcher in there to
take beating and lose ball game
when he has nothing but a prayer and

opinion, it is better to yank a pitcher
when he is not going right. He NAV
come back the next day and pitch

When with st. Louis, Higgins
pitchers were worked consistently and
to his system he attributes much of
their success.
