Springfield, Mimi, May 2S.-Two
strangers were taken in town Thurs
day night by night policeman Henry
Knadel. They were intoxicated and
are now serving thirty days in the
county Jail, the sentence having been
pronounced by Justice Petersen.
The men were driving a new WHY'S
Knight car. The ownership of the
car is being looked up. The license
number does not belong to the car
but belongs to some other Iowa car.
The men gave their names as Ross
Davidge and Christoffer Fathers.
Deputy Sheriff Jahnke recognized
Davidge as a former prisoner whose
real name is Harry Franklin.
Evidently Mr.. Knadel landed pair
OF crooks and further investigation
will undoubtedly show that the men
are wanted elsewhere. The car Is
being held at the Kreitinger garage.

CONGRESSMAN TO DELIVER
GRAFTON on FOURTH
PLANS FOR THE DAY HERE
Decoration Committee Named;
TriumphaI Arch Is To Be
Erected

The committee of arrangements for
the home coming of the soldiers and
sailors of Blue Earth county and vi
cinity held a meeting yesterday after
noon at the Commercial club head
quarters and heard reports from the
various sub committees. Another
meeting of the committee for tomor-
row evening was arranged for.
Owing to the fact that Governor
BurnQuist can come to the city only
in the forenoon of July Fourth to
speak, it was decided to change this
part of the program, and it was voted
unanimously to invite Congressman +.
F. Ellsworth to give the principal ad-
dress of the day, which will be in the
afternoon, according to present plans.
Congressman Ellsworth was in the
city last evening, having come home
to give the eulogy at the funeral of
the late Congressman Van Dyke of
St. Paul, and indicated that he would
accept the invitation. This assures
a brilliant address, for Mr.. Ellsworth
is one of the most eloquent orators in
the country. Governor Burnquist Is
to speak at st. James in the afternoon
of July Fourth. Whether he will be
asked to give a short address in Man
kato in the forenoon remains to be
decided.
Decoration Committee Named.
A decorating committee was named,
composed of Miss Pauline Windmill
Ter, Captain F. NJ. Otto and ]. b. Mel
sen, This committee will see to 1t
that the city puts on more of a pa
triotic appearance than ever before in
its history, and also that the halls TO
be used on the Fourth in the great
celebration of the return of the SOL
diers and sailors are appropriately
decorated.
Mrs. c. ]. Laurisch and Mrs. Charles
Wyatt were appointed to take charge
of very pretty special feather that
is to be put on by large number OF
little girls.
F. E. Crandall reported that the city
council was favorably disposed to-
ward building a large triumphal and
WELCOMING arch, and that sketches
were to be prepared for submission
to it.
Colonel G.. A. Lewis, who was to be
in st. Paul today, was authorized 10
arrange with the Curtis Flying Ma
chine company for the rental OF an
airplane, to be driven by one OF the
local men who have been in the avia-
ton service. If this cannot be done
it is likely that a professional ava
tor who has a machine of his own
will be secured for at least four filghts
for the day. This is bound to be
great attraction to thousands.
The Bands Engaged.
It was decided definitely to engage
the Fifth Regiment band and the
Sandon band. The GAINESVILLE band II
not available, as that town expects tt
celebrate the Fourth. Other music
will also be provided, and the city
will be filled with patriotic music OF
the great day.
The arrangements for financing th'
big affair will in all probability d.
made next week There seems to D'
no question but that our business mel
will dig down into their pockets gen
erously in order to make this the big
gest event ever seen in Southern
Minnesota. Everyone should maxi
up his mind to do his best. The com
mittee can only go to the extent

| should urge it be repealed forthwith.
He said it was unjust, unfair, and

the merchants more that the gov

disapproved the measure. He said it
put luxury tax on all shoes. cost

assertion that within sixty days it

or less.
On motion of w. A. Streator the
club went on record favoring repeal
of the measure and the secretary was
instructed to notify Congressman
Ellsworth of the action.
Central Heating Plant.
DR.. j. w. Andrews brought to the
attention of the club the matter of
a central heating plant for Mankato
He declared that such a plant would
be fine thing for the city and in
order to get action started he moved
that committee of three from the
Commercial club and three from the
Retail Merchants association, max
ing six in all be appointed to pro-
mote the plant, inquire into the cost
and success of such plans in other
! cities and report to both clubs in the

Wilbur M. Taylor stated that a
plant like this was operated in Al

there. He said there was no bother
with janitor, coal or plant and the
heat was excellent. The motion of

turn a verdict OF not guilty in the
cases of Jacob Kuivala and Franz

yard worker.
All four defendants were named in
the same indictment, which was
brought by Barnett Fl. Goldstein. first
assistant United States attorney. II
charged them with having sold scurri-
lous books during the war and with
having advertised their sale in the
paper.

was a victory over a small group of
Firms. who. he said, are attempting to
turn the government over to suit
their bolshevik taste.
Immediately after the verdict was
read Tom Mannix. attorney for the
defendant, filed a motion fer a new
trial. A stay of execution of 60 days
was granted by judge Wolverton aft
