who has been on duty in the city for
the past ten days, is not empowered
to make any arrests without first
consulting the chief of police, accord
ing to Mayor E. v. Waters. Mayor
Walters, at the council meeting Mon

quired as a precautionary measure to
protect the city He said Miss Flayin
had not been appointed permanently
and that as long as she did not have
a bond, protecting the city in case
she made a false arrest, it was
deemed advisable to have her con-
suit the chief before taking anyone

MISTAKEN IDEA OF FETE
Duluth, Man Thought Mankato ceie-
brated League Of Nations.

Mankato'5 winter carnival has
aroused large amount of comment
throughout the state but perhaps one
of the most unusual expressions relat-
i've TO the carnival was in letter
from John l. Bush of Duluth to Mayor
E. v. Waters. Enclosed with the letter
was a newspaper clipping regarding
the close of the carnival. Nh. Bush
was evidently under the impression
the event was held to celebrate the
opening Of the League Of Nations.
4"Ycu ere the only people who en-
Enthusiastically celebrated this greatest
occasion in human history" he said
''Exprcss my congratulations to the
people of Mankato: Now when perpet-
ual peace, brotherly love and the spirit
OF Christ and Socrates prevail we may
be thankful, next to God, the author
CT the league of nations and those
ten millions who fell recently In de.

CUPID STARTS TONGUES
ACTION OF PERIGORD
CAUSES TALK
His Brother Priests In st. Paul
Will Censure Him
Severely !.

st. Paul, January 2S.-Announce-
ment in The Daily News Monday
that Captain Paul Perigord, for
mer st. Paul seminary priest, will
soon marry Miss Emily Mcbride, Il
Pasadena (Cal.) society girl. created
a mild sensation in st. Paul, Pasa-
dena, and Los Angeles, where Cap
tain Perigord is now menter Of
Throop Institute faculty.
To a Daily News correspondent in
Los Angeles, Captain Perigord Mon
day night confirmed the report of
his engagement but insisted that he
had resigned at the beginning of
the war from the priesthood and the
Catholic church.
Says He Withdrew.
When I entered the army l with
drew from the church." CAPTAIN
Perigord said. That is the reason
i entered q combat branch of the
service"
Members OF the Catholic clergy
deny that Captain Perigord ever
withdrew from the church.
The VOWS he took would not per-
NIT him TO do that. it was pointed
out by priests today. 1t is impossible
to withdraw from the priesthood,
they said.
They also recall that when Cap
tain Perigord visited here on lee
ture tour he showed pictures OF
himself taken on the battlefield as
Sisting at mass for soldiers.
Army Officers Blamed.
French residents of st. Paul are
blaming some high officers of the
French army = with whom Captain
Perigord served, for his breach with
the. Catholic church. One nign officer
in particLla is known as an atheist
and it is said he used his influence &c
have the fighting priest Withdraw
from the church.
1t also is being said that Captain
Perigord's social successes in New
York, when as a guest of the Due de
Richilieu OF the French commission,
he was much feted by New York's
four hundred. may have had something
to do with it.
French Catholics in st. Paul today
said they would write letter to Cap
tain Perigord. censuring him for his
action.
No Date Is Set.
The Los Angeles Times of Janu-
airy II continued the following story:
Captain Paul Perigord of the French
army, member of the French high
commission and now a member of the
faculty of Throop College of Techno-
iogy, is TO marry one of Pasadena's
most charming bellies.
''The engagement of Miss Emily
Mcbride and Captain Perigord was
formally announced in the Crown
City yesterday by the parents of the
bride to- be, DR.. and Mrs. ]. H. Nc
Bride. DR.. Mcbride is one of the
most widely known physicians in
America, holds memberships in var
ious American and international
medical societies and is one of the
trustees of Troop College.
Miss Mcbride is one of the most
popular members of Pasadena so
ciety, but is perhaps more widely
known for her interest in charities
and for her indefatigable service at
home during the war.
Captain Perigord is one of the
heroes of Verdun where he won the
Cross OF the Legion of Honor. He
began his work as a member of the
Throop College faculty this year.

MANKATo SOME TOWN
la Crosse Tribune Man Was Well
Pleased With the Carnival.


Pleased With the Carnival.
La Crosse Tribune: After consort-
ing with King Ferdinand Rex and
other celebrities who furnished the
Inspiration for the red fire, fireworks,
parades, ski jumping and skating
contests and all manner of other en-
ertainments included in the mid-win-
ter carnival at Mankato during the
past week, feel very much like a
man who had just returned from. an
arabian Nights journey. / haven't
the slightest idea who started the
carnival project at Mankato, 3ut am
here to hand it to that enterprising
city for putting on one of the most
gorgeous spectacles which it has
ever been my pleasure to witness in
small city--or any city for that
natter. A chap could wander a long
way DER this mundane sphere before
re could find prettier sight than
that marking the corporation of
Queen Pauline-who by the way was
some queen-or meet a more hos
'itable bunch of good citizens than
those who extended the glad hand
wherever one CHANGED to loiter.
And after giving the carnival the
once over and rubbing elbows with a
number of natives who appreciate
he value of a thing of that sort,
know that. am not betraying any Sc
cret in asserting that the wholesome
advertising which Mankato is getting
>ut of it's mid winter fest is due in
large part to the efficient, enthusiast
tic manner in which the project is
handled in the columns of The Daily
Free Press of that city. Harboring
,nly. pleasant recollections of brief
stay in live city where every day
was real holiday during the past
week, can even forgive the kings
lester who conferred uron me the
title of Count Confetti" in the car
1ival court 1t wouldn't surprise nae a
tit to learn that Fred Kruse or my
good brother who publishes The
free Press had hand in that but
ike Eva Tanguay II don't care"
Permit me to assert once more that
Mankato is some town!

YOUTHS ARE ARRESTED

Rochester, January 2S.- Francis
Moore, eighteen years old, and Floyd
Rainey, fifteen, have been arrested by
the police of Rochester on the charge
of being guilty of smashing the show
window of Blickle's jewelry store a
few days ago and taking therefrom a
string OF pearls valued at fifty dol
lars.
According to Chief of Police Earl
T. Parker, the police have been keep
ing an eye out to try to discover the
ones who attempted the bold robbery
in which the Blickle window was
smashed so that the goods within
could be reached. 1t will be remem-
bered that at the time of the attempt,
Patrolman Levi Benson chased the
would be thieves and fired shots at
them as they fed.
Recently one of the boys accused
of being guilty, was heard by an
other boy to do some talking about
the theft. The listener promptly told
a policeman and arrests were made.
1t is said that the boys sold the
fifty dollar string of pearls in the
city.

In several cities, notably New
York, municipal bus lines have been
put in operation, substituting for
various car routes. New York's rid

been bombarded with propaganda for
an advance in fare on surface, elc

has remained at five cents, however,
