REGULATIONS FOR
 USE OF GOAL IN EASTERN STATES

'It is necessary that coal shall be used only for essential purposes. Pub lie utilities consuming coal should dis continue to furnish power, heat and light to non n-essentiaI industries and should only consume sufficient coal to produce enough light, Power and heat to meet the actual urgent needs of the people. Advertising signs and displays of various kinds necessitat- ing the use of coal should be curtail- ed and no coal should be distributed for such purposes. Pursuant to this policy I have requested the Railroad Administration in the distribution of coal now or hereafter in it's possession to limit distribution to these essential and urgent uses. AS far as practi- cable, until the conditions warrant q change. the distribution of coal will be limited to the first five classes of the priority list. Retail dealers who distribute coal for household re- quirements, heating hotels, buildings, hospitals, etc., should take every pre- caution to see that coal is only de- ivered where it is absolutely requir- ed and then only in such limited quantities that the supply may be distributed widely and prevent suffer- ing. The state and other local au- thorities can materially aid in inspect ing and supervising such distribution by retail dealers and the United States Government will be glad to leave the supervision and control of such distribution by retail dealers en- tireIy to any state, county or muni- cipality which may make provision therefor. The distribution to the re- tail dealers must necessarily be ad- ministered by the Railroad Adminis- tration in pursuance of the orders already made by the United States Fuel Administration in carrying out the priorities which have been pre- scribed under the Lever Act''

HUNS ASK FOR
 REVISION BEFORE
 THEY WILL SIGN

Paris, Dec. 5-Revision of the protocol of the Versailles treaty of peace is demanded by Kurt Vpn Lersner, head of the German peace delegation, before he will sign it.
 Responsibility for the sinking of interned German warships at Scapa Flow is denied by the Berlin govern ment, and it is demanded that the allied claims for indemnity for the ships be referred to The Hague for arbitra ton. It is asserted that the paragraph of the protocol referring to the evacuation of Lithuania is un- necessary as that evacuation is now considered complete and final. Ad- ditionaI demand is made that the paragraph providing for coercive

These documents will probably have a bearing on future developments of the situation which is delaying the final step in putting the peace treaty into effect.

HOTEL SUPERIOR SUED FOR DAMAGES

redlight circles.
Eventually Weak Debb showed up
and then Willie Wiggleton. Doc. Bus.
mess came and he added quite bit to
the gaiety Of nations. Another par
ticipant in the Olympian games was
Wallie Orden.
John Howe, the wounded warrior,
and Old John Barleycorn at $40 a
bottle became monotonous in time,
therefore "Babe' and "Berenice -
were summoned as features in that
"Congress of Rough Riders"
One of the bibulous bunch insisted
on buying "Babe" bunch of sweet
peas. Later on, two of the wild
gang had maudlin quarrel over
which one bought the beauteous crea-
ture the festive peas. During the quar-
rel, the entire bunch got to milling
around with the result that both
"Babe' and "Berenice'' were
thrown out into the hall in their night
les.
Night clerk Melanson received COM
plants from other guests concerning
the disorder. He went to the rooms
of the roysterers several times to quiet
them. Each time they threw him out
and told him to 60 chase himself. The
last time they threw him out, they
tore off his night shirt.
The situation finally got so desper-
ate that a policeman was called in to
restore order. Four or five different
patrolmen responded to calls but each
and every one refused to take action
unless provided with a warrant. As
badly as the bunch was acting, it was
so much better than the way so many
policemen have been accustomed to
act, especially such fellows as former
policemen Gleason, O'Brien, st. Onge
and even others, that they did not
feel like being harsh and inconsider-
ate.
Jaw let the boys enjoy them
Selves" was the response.
Finally, Capt. Osborn was called
and he came with the patrol wagon.
He looked over the situation and de-
cided that good strategy would be to
load the widest Indian of the band
into the wagon and take him home.
After that, the others slowly quieted
down and eventually went their re-
spective ways. By that time, too,
Howe's hip, with it's Hunnish wounds,
was so far healed up that he dared 90
to his sadly neglected home.
No, gentle reader, all the bad actors
and wild Indians do, not move, live
and perform their stunts on North
Tower and on Third street. There are
left few "prominent citizens'' who
can trot some rather stiff heats if
given time, place and the proper fur
niture.

THE SIMPLE RUST|CS
Make SNAPPY. DRINKS
Hinterland Folk Have Clever
Ways for Reducing Great
National DrOuth.

Throughout Duluth's hinterland,
both out Of and in the Indian terri
tory, the thirsty folk are doing their
durndest to beat the national drouth.
A goodly number depend on old stock
while others depend on the blockade
runners and the illicit dealers.
Up at Ely, there's hardware dealer
who believes in encouraging home en-.
terprise and home industry. He makes
a speciality Of little stills for family
use. He is said to be doing a thriving
business in manufacturing and vend.
ing those stills. It further is said that
they turn out a product that will eat
the lining from the strongest stomach
or even make laying hen fight an
American eagle.
Ont in Aitkin county, homemade
whisky from city-made stills does not
seem to appeal to the bucolic popula.
ton. Out there the humble rhubarb is
utilized in making stuff that will en-.

est funeral imaginable or to fight
the most aggressive, double-fisted wife
ever won by man.
The honest fairness out there in Ait

then let the product Of their knives

After that they slice in an orange, q

derworld chaps and the ward system
received only 1898, nearly 400 less
than the number Of names on the al.
legged petition, asking for a special
election.
That was most handsome and de-
cisive endorsement of a. mayor who
believes in keeping his oath of office
by making an honest effort to enforce
the laws.
The opposition took it mighty hard.
During the campaign the underworld
crooks increased their efforts to show
their contempt of decency, law and
order. The Leader, an organ of the
feeble opposition, groaned most dis.
tressingly and vented it's spleen by
throwing mud at Baxter. Only a few
hundred read the Leader, therefore the
mud was thrown in vain.
A great many of the leaders in low
moral endeavor have put on deep
mourning and now talk of wintering
at Hot Springs Arkansaw.
Last, but not least, the Soldiers ,
bonus law was ratified by vote of
1857 to $50.

SUPERI0R'S LAW BREAKERS
DECIDE TO PLEAD GUILTY
Druggist Holmberg and Dr. Nyquist Fined for Breaking Har-
rison Act-Burnside, Frymiller and WEIGH Fined
and Given Very Light Jail Sentences.

Charged with violating the Harrison
anti-narcotic act by entering into a
conspiracy to supply addicts with
banned drugs, August G. Holmberg ap.
peared in federal court in Superior on
Friday morning of last week and
pleaded guilty. Judge Sanborn fined
the self-confessed outlaw $4,000 and
decreed that the money be paid into
court within twenty days.
DR.. J. E. Nyquist, q Duluth, physi.
clan, maintaining an office at 2030
West Superior street and residing at
1928 East Fourth street, was charged
with being Holmberg's co-conspirator.
He, also, entered plea Of guilty and
was fined 81 1000 which he, also, must
pay within twenty days.
Many people in Duluth have held
their judgment in suspension as to DR..
Nyquist's guilt but since he has con-
fessed to a hellish form of outlawry
20 sympathy or benefit of doubt are
longer due him. His fall from grace
is charitably ascribed to an overpow.
ering desire to get rich quick. Since
law, some startling stories have been
told about some adventures in high
finance that DR.. Nyquist had when
living in Cloquet.
It is reliably stated that DR.. Ny
quist once "passed' a consumptive
for life insurance in Cloquet, conniv-
ing in the stunt with local life in
surance man Of the white pine city
who now is dead. Although the deed
was proved against both men, by some
ook or crook the doctor escaped legal
punishment.
1t further is alleged that DR.. Ny.
auist's drug store was frequently bur.
glarized but that narcotics were the
chief losses reported. This happened
so many times that the authorities be-
rame very suspicious that the burglar.
les were faxed to cover up unduly
large and illegal sales of narcotic
drugs.
U. s. Attorney Wolfe in asking TO,
heavy fine, stated that there was
evidence to show that after the alleged
offenders were told to discontinue the
traffic and after Indictment against
them they still continued the sale OF
dope. He argued that inasmuch as
Holmberg had a ll-established bus
mess in the city heavy fine should
be imposed upon him.
Attorney j. A. Wharton of Duluth
appearing for DR.. Nyquist made. q
strong plea for leniency to the docto,
on the ground that he had already suf
fered sufficiently in the loss of great
deal Of his practice since the indict
ment was brought against him.
The Duluth rip-saw. [volume] (Duluth, Minn.) 1917-19??, 1919-09-20

Attorney John A. Cadigan, assisted
by attorney B. G. Bachrach Of Chi
cago, pleaded for Holmberg, stating
that he had discontinued the sale OF
the drug and that hereafter he would
conduct a clean business.
Despite lawyer Cadigan's promise
that druggist Holmberg would be q
good boy in the future and not try to
get rich quick by selling chop" to
unfortunate addicts, his record in
obeying the liquor laws is rotten.
Ever since Superior went dry Holm.
berg has broken the liquor laws freely
and frequently. On one occasion he,
his wife, brother and clerks were ar.
rested and it required $4,000 cash bail
to get the bunch out of Jail.
The Rip-saw has reason to believe
that Holmberg is guilty Of recent of.
lenses and that his arrest may come
any day on formal charges.
Henry Briscoe, colored man well
known in Duluth as well as in Supe-
rior, pleaded guilty of illegally hand.
ling narcotics and was fined $3.50. One
Frank Ensco drew a fine of $3.50 from
Judge Sanborn for similar offense.
Both defendants were represented by
'ohn A. Cadigan, the one lawyer in
Superior to whom most of the undeS;
world crooks fly in time of stress and
trouble.
U. j. Burnside took the count for
selling booze without a government Ii.
cense and received fine of $3.50 with
thirty days in the county Jail. The
grandly dressed and ornamented man
who tried to butt John F. Colahan and
Max Rosenberg out of their high
places in the Bad Lands of Bingoland
now gets his mail and plays checkers
with his nose at the county Jail.
John Welch owned up to an offense
similar to that of "Dude" Burnside
but was let off with q fine of 500
and thirty days in jail. He will be
unable to attend early church until
after the middle of October.
William Frymiller decided to tell
Judge Sanborn that he was guilty of
selling liquor without a government
license, prior to July l. His fine was
| fixed at $3.50, with thirty days 70,
meditation, prayer and possible repent.
| ance in the lonesome old county Jail.
George Dietrich represented Frymil.
'er at the bar Of justice.
Anthony Gregoire and Albert Wilson
received fines of $3.50 and 800, re.
spectively, for violating wartime pro
hibition.
Mrs. Mabel Van Gorder, charged
with selling booze on Ogden avenue
was slated for attention by the U. 8
] court at some later day.
