UPPiSH IN COURT
Declared He Would Not Pay
Fine Imposed On Him BY
Federal Judge

st. Paul, February 21.-Take me
back to Winona and put me in jail

fine and you can't make me do it,
This was the statement of DR.. John

Winona, who has been in Winona

Tor violation of the espionage act.
DR.. Steinbach was sentenced to six
ty days in Jail and to pay fine of

are released, if the investigation
shows the oath is true.
Petition In Poverty.
The petition in poverty was made
and Dr. Steinbach was brought to ST.
Paul yesterday by Deputy Marshal
Chell NJ Smith. r. F. Davis of the
department of justice, reported, how
ever, that the specialist has one piece
of property in his own name worth
$1,000, rented for $53 a month, and a
one third interest in other property
worth $4,000 left him by his first wife.
E, Would Listen To No Explanation.
Alfred Jaques, United States dis
trict attorney, tried to explain to DIR.
Steinbach that he could not claim
absolute poverty with such property
interests, but the doctor said that the
government could not touch these
properties because there was a mort
gage of $1,000 on his own property
and that "a his first wife had not yet
been divided by probate court.
Attorney l.. L. Blown, Winona,
advised me that you could not touch
either of there properties said Dr.
Steinbach, land I'll stay in Jail for

said the government will not seize
the doctors property, but will keep
him in jail until the fine is paid.

and naturalized Americana He said
yesterday that he was born near
Treves. Germany, and that he had
come to America forty seven years
ago,

guardsmeD The speaker again paid
tribute to the guardsmen, but said
the jealousy arose over the fact that
the regulars knew politics, often per-
meated the guard organizations and
they knocked the officers for this
reason. While this was true Major
Sanborn said the marvel of the fact
was that in actual battle the guard
officers proved to be true blue and
valient men,
Discussion Over The "Y."
A long discussion arose over the
Y. M. G.. A., and the criticism that
has arisen since the war ended.
Major Sanborn defended the work of
the Y, and declared that the good
work accomplished by this organiza :
ton far outweighed all the failures
they had made or the mistakes charg
ed them. He said many men ap-
pointed as secretaries were failures,
many were not the best type of men,
often mistakes occurred which the
boys could not understand but in the
final analysis the "Y" done it's best
the most of the criticism was really
unwarranted
Discussions arCse over the systems
of dicipline in the American and the
British armies and of the type of Of
ficers America had in this war.
Major Sanborn stated in reply to
questions, that in France there was
absolutely no distinction between
selected men and enlisted troops.
An excellent dinner was served at
6:30 by the ladies of the Episcopal
church. Before dinner was started r.
e. Brown read letter from C. d. OFT
who is in Florida. Mr. OFT expressed
his regret that he was not present
at the meeting and sent a large
package of ''kumquas," fruit of the
south. Each diner received one of
the kumquas.

LOOKED LIKE SWMDLE; so
NONE WIRED TO WEST
DUCAT TRAP WAS FIXED
However, Welcome Men Would
Not Fall For the Request
Sent Them

d Fairmont, February 21.-Evidences
of an extensive swindling scheme
having its headquarters in the state
of Washington and probably nation
wide in its operations have come to
light through Welcome people.
Under date of Februar. '919, a
letter was written from ;erett,
Wash. to F. J. Schwarz. the We'll
come blacksmith. II purported to be
from Mr.. Schwarz's brother George,
who has been working in the ship
building yards at Seattle.
The letter read something like this:
Dear Brother. | am in great
need of $425. Please send il to
RE at once. | will pay YOU back
the first of June. How is every
body in Welcome? All right, l
hope. / am we'll Be sure and
send the money right away. Your
brother, George
..t So Letter Sounded Good.
The letter sounded all right but
the writing didn't look natural to Mr..
SchwarZ. However. whoever had
written il must be keeping close
track of the brother
When the shipyard strike came on
at Seattle George SchwarZ decided
to take vacation and visit relatives
and former Welcomites living in
various Washington towns. The
crook evidently knew all about this.
for at the time the letter was written
George was spending few days with
Ezra Fellar, an old neighbor, at
Everett
Suspected crookedness.
The Welcome SchwarZ was so
thoroughly convinced that the thing
was crooked that he laid tran
through registered letter that will
catch the fellow who has been using
his brothers name. if he ever calls
for the letter.
Nothing was TO be said about the
SchwarZ incident until it was learned
whether OF not the ruse. 10 catch the
Swindler succeeded, 20 Within the patt
few days another case of a similar
nature arose and in order thar other
possible victims may be warned, il is
thought hest to publish the whole
scheme. Someone might receive some
of the fake messages and part with
money in the belief that il was 60
ing to member of the family.
Another One Tried.
Last Saturday Henry Klusendorf OF
Welcome received what purported tc
be a telegram fom his SON. who is a
soldier at Camp Lewis. Washington
The wire said: "Send me $500 by
TELEGRAPH atsonce. am in bad trou-
ble"
Mr.. Klusendorf telegraphed his son
for particulars. He replied that he
had sent no wire. In the meantime
tho elder Klusendorf received Sec
end fake telegram more urgent than
the first explaining that a letter
would follow exrlaining all, but to
hasten sending the money to save the
alleged son from deep trouble.
II Wise One Working Scheme .
Whoever is working this scheme
has some means of learning connnc

members and plays upon, tie natr-n'
sympathies in manner that wou't
fool many people. not so cautious rs

Y. M. C. A. NOTES.

BEGINNING with next week the fall
program for the educational, religious
and social work will be taken up by
proper committees, which will begin
to make outlines for that season. by
thus beginning in time it is hoped
that a better system for all the de-
partmentS can better be worked out
than by waiting until the middle OF
September, as is usually the case.
The boys are having a better time
this season than for any summer past.
Besides the regular indoor games, they
are having baseball and croquet. They
have a regular organization that looks
after the croquet games and grounds
Artimus STRIPPING is manager, Under
wood SpriggS assistant manager, and
Richard Kirk secretary. Hoffard lrv-
ing is assistant manager of the carrem
club. Just as fast as the boys pay
their dues they are admitted into one
of the clubs. Beginning with next
week the "Y" will be open for the
boys four days in the week, except
otherwise announced. 1t will not be
open Monday afternoons, Thursdays
and Saturday afternoons.
Sims has returned with challenge
for King. 1t is claimed that the two
are each afraid of the other on the
crOquet court, so the first of what
might be a series of games between
the two was played yesterday evening
In an exciting domino contest last
week Buford beat Sims by score. of
2 to 1. Exciting games of croquet
have been played during the week by
different members of the club with
ladies for partners. Much amusement
is on ahead for the next two months.

The public is generally aware that
Rev. ID. Il. over, pastor of Zion Church,
was suddenly stricken in health last
month and that during the intervening
weeks his condition has been such
that grave fears have been entertained
relative to his recovery.
1t is now evident that recovery is
probable and that with period of
complete rest and quiet the health and
usefulness of this splendid leader may
be saved to the community.
Upon the advice of his physicians,
Zion Church has determined to send
him away for recuperation, and, while
realizing the heavy responsibility in
volved, we believe that the many
friends who appreciate the character
of the great service he has rendered
this community during the past ten
years will consider it privilege to
make some contribution toward this
worthy end.
