They Are Taken Into Custody
In Connection With Dope
Theft Here

ST. Paul, January 25.-Harry j.
Vancil, 4S1 st. Peter street, and
Frank Laughlin, "A Central Terrace,
were arrested by Chief United States
Deputy Marshal Stephen Picha on
complaints charging them with send
ing poisonous matter through the
mails. They were arraigned before
United States Commissioner Samuel
Whaley at 2:30 p. m. today.
In response to telegram signed
by Stephens Robinson, Mankato, who
is under arrest at Mankato, some one
mailed letter containing quantity
of morphine, addressed to Robinson,
January 16. Postoffice Inspectors w.
H. Switzer and r. S. Greggs allege
that both the men arrested had some
thing to do with the mailing of the
morphine letter, although Laughlin
vigorously denies that the address is
in his handwriting or that he knew
anything about the mailing of the
letter.
Laughlin was arrested by federal
agents of the internal revenue serv-
ice November 16, when the fiat at
49O Rice street. owned by Albert
Braden. was raided. He was dismis-
sed, without prosecution, because it
appeared that he was simply caller
at the fiat when taken.

Major Henry R. Sanborn, the
New Secretary of the
Y. N. c. A.

Major Henry r. Sanborn came
down from Minneapolis Friday, and
was the guest Of F. E. Hadley. 1t
will be remembered that year ago
last fall, Major Sanborn, who was
then a Captain, made a number of
speechs in Faribault county for the
Y. NJ. C. A., and very effective
speeches they were, too, says The
Winnebago Enterprise.
Major Sanborn recently returned
home from France on sick leave. He
is young man who was born in
California, and was attending the
University of Washington when the
war broke out in 1914. He went to
Canada and enlisted with the Can
adian forces, being awarded a cap
taincy. He saw much service at the
front, was wounded and sent home.
When the United States became in
volved in the war, he joined our
army, and has been promoted to Ma
jor.
OF late months, he has been Chief
OF Staff to General Bradley at Brest,
France He was in Paris at the
time of the signing of the armistice,
and says it was a very wild occasion,
the French people being fairly mad
with joy over the successful outcome
of, The great war and the ending of
their days Of suffering and sacrifice.
Major Sanbofti will resign his COM
mission in the army, and will take
the post of secretary of the Y. NJ.
C. A, at Mankato. He is preparing
for the ministry, and We predict that
he will be very successful in it, as
he knows men, has great breadth of
understanding. and will bring mes
sage that will appeal to the hearts
of all. -

Want GRAVEL FdRROAD'
FARMERS ASK THE HELP OF
RAILROAD COMPANY
Freight Rate Seems to Stand In
Way Of An Highway
Improvement

Farmers living on the Lake Wash
ington road, which extends north from
Waters. have been very anxious to
have that highway graveled, and par
TALLY arranged with c. w. Babcock
of Kasota to get gravel from his pit.
They racently asked the Mankato
Commercial club to intercede with the
Milwaukee, Chicago, Great Western
railroads to get reduced rates on
hauling gravel to Waters, or, it
possible, to get several cars of gravel
hauled free of charge. The matter
was taken up with the local railroad
agents who referred it to the higher
officials, with the result that the re-
quest was denied owing to the fact
that the government is in charge of
the railroads. A copy of circular No.
Z. issued by regional director r. H.
Ashton, was quoted as follows:
Owing to many requests for freight
rate concessions and the need of uni
formity in such matters, the follow
ing ruling has been announced:
"One. AS the proceeds of trans
portation service ar ca matter of
revenue for the federal government,
there would seem to be no justifica-
ton for granting free or reduced
rates for the transportation of freight
traffic account of charity, particularly
as to do so in one instance would re-
quire similar policy towards all, as
OF course, there car be no discrimina-
ton between one state or section and
another.
1.-TWO. 1t has also been decided
that there is no good reason why the
federal government should assume
any part of the burden of either city
county or state government, and that
special rates for the transportation of
building ard highway material for
such purposes should not be granted" 4"
The freight rate on gravel from
kasota to Waters is about s1.7O a
cubic yard. Mr.. Babcock asks sixty
cents cubic yard for the gravel
loaded, bringing it's cost at Waters
to about 1920 a cubic yard. The
farmers will probably defer action.
and if the railroads pass back into
the hands of their owners it is thought
that the matter of freight rates can
be arranged. A few years ago several
car loads of gravel were delivered bv
the railroad company free of any
charge.
