PUTS BLAME ON
LEGAL LIGHTS
.I.AvytYER-EpIToR ERICKSON sSsoN
SAYS ATTORNEY FRIENDS
ADVISED HIM.
ACTION AGAINST VOGEL WAS
STARTED AFTER HE HAD
OBTAINED OPINIONS.

Relying to great extent upon the
advise given him by Attorney Henry
N. Somsen Of the local law firm OF
somsen, Dempsey & Flor, as we'll as
by his own law partner, A. G. Looms,
Lawyer Editor August G. Erickson
Of Springfield preferred the charge Of
assault against County Auditor Louis
G. Vogel, which led to the latter S
arrest, prosecution in justice court at
Springfield and final acquittal by a
trial jury in the Brown county district
court.
Blannes "Legal Lights"
In his answer to County Auditor
VogePs action for damages aggregating
$1,000 for alleged malicious prosecu-
tion and to cover expenses incurred IN
defending himself against Erickson S
charges, the latter admits that he con-
suited Attorneys Somsen and LOOMS
and that the former advised him to
have Vogel arrested, while Attorney
Lcomis stated that he (Erickson) had
good cause for preferring the charge
of assault against the county auditor.
It would appear that Erickson now
seeks to place the blame for his failure
| to have Vogel removed from office
upon his legal advisors.
More Advice From Somsen.
Attorney somsen was again con-
suited by Erickson before the latter
/ preferred the charges with Governor
Bufnq1ist when he petitioned the chic
executive to remove the county auditor
/ from office, and was advised by the
local attorney that he had good cause
/ for asking the governor to remove
/ Voqel. Similar advice was giver
Erickson by Attorney James III. Hal
Of Marshall and several other reput
able practicing attorneys in this state
Erickson admits in his answer that HI
ssrelied on the services so obtained

Action Will Be Tried
The action sor $4,000 damages com
menced by County Auditor Voge

LEVER CUTS HAND.

Ben. Gatza, one Of the efficient meat
cutters in Andrew Safert's market,
had the misfortune to sustain a pain
full injury to his left hand, Friday
morning. Mr.. Gatza was using a
newly sharpened clever and in raising
it, the heavy knife struck the block

AUTO BURNS.

A brand new Hudson Six car, be-
longing to Contractor Fred C. Koehne
of Sleepy Eye, was totally destroyed
by fire, when it turned turtle on the
road near the Herman Polkow farm,
northeast OF Springfield. Mr.. and
Mrs. Koehne and two children were
enroute to Springfield from Sleepy Eye
at the time Of the accident. Their car
was crowded into the ditch at the right
side of the road by an approaching auto
and in regaining the road Mr.. Koehne
was compelled to make sharp turn to
the left to avoid a collision with another
machine coming from the west. The
Koehne car turned completely over
pinning the occupants beneath it, but
passers-by extricated them from Their
perilcus position. The. gasoline caught
fire and soon the entire machine was
in flames. All that could be saved was
one tire. The occupants of the i'll
fated car consider themselves lucky ir
having escaped so miraculously from
serious injury and possible slow death
from burns.

N-TOTING LAD
STIRS THINGS UP.
PAUL SHAUGHNEsSY, REsID-
INF NEAR SPRINGFIELD,
PAYS NEW ULM VISIT.
"GRAPE JUICE" AND ssMOVIES':
MAKE HIM A RECKLESS
WILD WESTERNER.

A generous quantity Of "grape
juice, coupled with the excitement of
thrilling movie play, proved too
much for Paul Shaughnessy, 80
year-old farmer lad, residing near
Springfield, who paid New Ulm visit
early last week. AS a result Of mixing
things" the young man was trans
formed into a full-hedged wild wester-
ner, which could not fail to get him
into trouble, especially since he carried
a revolver and indulged in little harm
less gun play.
"Grape juice Had "kick".
Paul came to New Ulm last Sunday
evening with members Of the crew
which is laying new steel rails in the
Northwestern yards at Essig; The
ride caused him to become rather dry
and he drank some grape juice" to
Quench his thirst. The fruit Of the
vineyard evidently had a fairly good
sized ''kick" to it, for the young man
soon was in high spirits and keen
observer would have discerned that
the farmer lad was driving toward
trouble, going it on high"
Took Friend toy Show.
While perambulating around tow n
young Shaughnessy met a lady. friend
and invited her to accompany him to
the "novies," to which she readily
assented, evidently not aware of her
escorts experience with the grape
juice" The play was real thriller,
which did not serve to alleviate Paui's
bibulous condition, but rather ag-
gravated it. Whether it was regular
'.shoot-em-up" film that the young
pair witnessed, is not noted IN the
Justice court record, but at any rate,
the excitement was great enough to
awaken a '.wild west" spirit in the
farmer lad.
Stirs Things Up.
After bidding good night to his lady
friend, Paul proceeded to the local
railroad yards in search Of his com
panions. He must have imagined that
he had left civilization behind when
he entered that section OF the city, to1

CHAMP CLARK WILLING
But Hopes the Delegates viii Not Be
Instructed.

Washington, March 10.-Former
Speaker Champ Clark has lined up
with Herbert Hoover and William
Gibbs McAdoo in their desire that
their names shall not be used in the
Presidential primaries. In a letter
sent today to Georgia Democrats,
Speaker Clark expressed his opinion
that his name should not be placed
upon the tickets, saying that he pre-
ferred that delegations should be
sent uninstructed to the San Fran
cisco convention in June.
Mr.. Clark stated that the two things
for the Democratic Party to do were
to adopt plaform and nominate q
man to fit it. His letter indicated
that he was in a receptive mood tow
ard the nomination, for he said: mo
man will decline a Presidential nom
ination rendered him. freely by a
great party"

TWO BASKETBALL GAMES
About the Last Games of the Year
Tomorrow Night

OHlOrFOW Nlgnt
The Bennington high school boys
basketball team will play two games
on Friday and Saturday of this week.
The game on Fliday night will be
with Cambridge and fast game is
assured. Bennington lost to Cam
bridge on the Cambridge court by a
close score. The result is that the
local boys are out for the scalps of
the Cambridge team and a very close
game should result. A good prelifiain-
airy between the Junior Holy Name and
the Lone Scout Five should provide
much interest Both of the teamskare
composed of very small and fight
players but they are fast.
On Saturday the Bennington high
school five viii clash with a team
from Rutland high school. Last year
two very close and fast games were
played between these schools and the
game this year will be equally as
good. A good preliminary will be
provided for this game by the man.
Dancing viii be in order after each
game and a good time is assured to all.
The Athletic association urges all
people who possibly can to be present
at these games. which with the except
ion of the B. H. S.-St. Joseph game
next Friday March 10Th, are the last
of the season.
Baseball is well under way in the
High school now and as soon as the
snow leaves the ground practice for
the entire team will start. Coach
Smallman is on the lookout for a
place in which to train his pitchers
and catchers and it is expected that a
place will be secured very soon. A
strong team may be looked for this
year and some good games are assur-
ed as manager Tinkham has games
with all of the schools with which
Bennington high has fought with in
both basketball and baseball in the
last few years.

Officials Favor Policy of Permitting
Debtor Nations to Recover from
War Before Paying

Washington, March 10.-Announce
ment was made by Secretary Houston
today that no further loans would be
made to the Allies This Is blleved to
indicate the adoption by the Treasury
of the policy, favored by the debtor
rations, of deferring interest Fay
ments for the next three years or
more.
Under authority granted by Con
gress to extend $4,000 600 cred
its to the Allied nations, the Treas
ury has made loans amounting to SO.
$50 1874, $40. Secretary Houston said
that the remainder of the credits au-
thorized would not be granted as it
was thought sufficient advances had
been made.
Discussing the question. Treasury
officials said that in view of the Ex-
change situation and the unsettled
economic condition of the European
nations the reconstruction period, it
would seem advisable to permit them
TO postpone interest payments for "a
least three years. Then, Il is believ-
ed, they would be in position to
meet their obligations.
With the interest on the loans COM
puted at per cent, the total due the
United States yearly is about $470.-
100000, an enormous sum for the war
weakened countries to pay at present.
II interest is funded into long-term
obligations. the interest on the pay
ments thus deferred viii amount to
only s23,00O,00O yearly. which can be
paid and the credit of the debtor ma
tions maintained Treasury officials
are working on Recommendation to
submit TO Congress as to the course
to be followed II deferred payments
are permitted. 1t has .oeen suggested
that the interest on the interest be
charged off but the proposal has met
with strong opposition in Congress.

London, March 1.-THE Daily

states:
"'The Council considers the meas
ures which were being taken to insure

other fninorities in Turkey
while the indeterminate attitude of
the United States toward Turkey pre-
sents evident difficulties, it may be
said that the American Government
has been urged to take part in the
measures for the protection of the
Armen ans, and that leading statesmen
are painfully conscious that without
American co-ope. .ation no ideal solu-
tion of the Turkish problem can be ex-
pected.
England and France are heavily
overburdened with the duties they have
already accepted and are faced with
the possibility-through their efforts
to bring some order out of this chaos
of new troubles such as America has
never to fea.' They will suffer for
their faults, but if the remnant of the
Armenian race should suffer further
some responsibility must fall also up
on the nation. which, associated with
this problem by many fine traditions,
is for such a purpose the strongest
and freest of all.
