Railroad bland Out"
To Aid Spectators?

New York, Sept. 10.-Cool head
ed Wall street smiles when the pub
lie is Informed that prosperity will
dawn when congress gives the rail
roads their latest half-billion dol
lar "hand out"
1t is agreed in select circles that
the bill will not benefit the rail
roads to the extent claimed, but the
railroads owners, in their banking
financial and speculative capacities
will be benefited Immensely.
The cool headed see the need for
the stock market being braced. Val
ues have tumbled and stock sales
are few. The chief value of the
hand out" will be its lure of bad
ly singed lambs to pastures that
are now as barren as desert wastes.
The governments o. K. on half
a billion dollars worth of railroad
stock will be a windfall, as it is be-
lieved this will create a demand for
these securities and business may
again look up" in Wall street and
vicinity.
So the prosperity tales are for
public consumption, as are speeches
by diplomats, who do their real
business below the street level
The prosperity tales are also useful
to editors and other "molders of
public opinion" who affect an owl
ish air.
While spectators and financiers
are aware of the opposition to the
"hand out" throughout the country,
thpvn is n poOfiInpca that copUrncs
will pass the bill at this session.
Don't discuss it. just jam it
through" is the advice most IA
vored by men who want a prop for
the stock market and who realize
that success depends upon the least
possible publicity.

Four-MOnth Strike Won

Racine, Wis, Sept. 10. - The
United Garment Workers of Amer
lea have scored a victory in the
settlement of the strike at the
Alschuler Manufacturing Company's
plant in this city. The manage
ment four months ago declared its
intention to run a non-union shop.
Four months of that sort of labor
seems to have been more than
sufficient to convince the manage
ment of the fallacy of the "siren
call" of the union busters and Their
press agents.

To-Day in federal court at Kansas Civ.
Kansas. '''
The case of Erwin Bergdoll. brother
or Grover c. Bergdoll who recently eff
tecteo sensational escape into Germany
from the United States, is of nationwide
interest because of the legal points in
vowed, court officials said. The cases of
many other persons tried or awaiting
iran by court martial for violation OF
tne selectve service act hinge on the
outcome of the Bergdoll case. The legal
point raised is the right of a military
court.martial to try a person who is NOT
actually in the service, as one who reg
fStered for the draft but failed to re-
spond when called.
Appeals To Higher Courts,
There are about twenty other men con-
fined at the military prison whose cases
are similar to that of Bergdoll. About
nfty similar cases are held in allowance
pending the outcome of the BeredoIl
case. it is said.
Attorneys on both sides said that the
decision would not be final, as appeals
would be taken to higher courts which
every way the case is decided. II the
case is decided in favor Of BergdoH he
then may be released on bonds while

case Is against him, he must remain In
prison. Bergdol was convicted by court
martial at Fort Jay, N. Y, last wear

dug him out, both legs broken above
the knees, his breast and stomach
crushed and his face horribly mutt
lated. He was brought to this hos

DROPS SANDQU|ST CASE
THE ACTION AGAINST HIM
WAS DISMISSED
Two Material Witnesses For the
State Would Not Respond
To Any Call

The case of the State of Minnesota
against E. E. Sandquist charged with
carnal knowledge of a female child
under the age of eighteen years, which
has been in the courts since June 8,
1919, was dismissed by Judge w. l..
Comstock yesterday on motion of
County Attorney C. E. Phillips. The
reason for County Attorney G. Z.
Phillips asking for the dismissal of
the case was that the complaining
witness, Miss Florence Langford, and
another important states witness are
beyond the jurisdiction of the court,
and have refused to appear as wit
nesses against the defendant. Coun-
ty Attorney Phillips stated to the
court that without the testimony of
these two witnesses of the state, the
evidence in the hands of the state
did not warrant further prosecu-
ton in the matter.
In granting the motion of County
Attorney c. E. Phillips, Judge Com
stock stated that as the case prog
ressed from time to time, there was
reason for some doubt as to the guilt
of the defendant on the charge made
against him, and so the case against
the defendant was dismissed and the
responsibility in the case.
Has Dragged Its Way Along.
The defendant in this case was ar
rested on June s, 1919, was indicted
by the grand jury of this county at
the November term 1919 on the
charge of carnal knowledge, and in
December of that year was found
guilty of the charge stated in the in
dictment. Later the defendant
through his attorneys, Regan and
Grogan tok an appeal to the supreme
court, which reversed the decision OF
the lower court and granted new
trial. The grounds for the appeal in
the case was the allegation that the
presiding Judge in the district court
took the witness stand In the case
and gave testimony.
On motion of defendants attor-
neys, Judge Comstock in August, 1920,
granted the new trial asked for, and
at the November term of the Blue
Earth county district court in 1920,
the case was put on the regular cal
endar. Since that time, however,
the case has been continued from
time to time, owing to the fact that
the state was not able to secure two
material witnesses. 1t was finally
agreed some time ago that the case
would be set for trial February Z, and
If the state was not then ready to
the case, the same would
be dismissed.
Since the starting Of the case the
witness, Florence Lang
ford and her mother went to Mississ-
ippi. and the girl is now married and
the mother of child.

was played by Mrs. H. w. Crane.
This difficult piece was very nicely
played and was appreciated by the
audience very much. Mrs. r. G..
Wilson, read Sunny" an amusing
story of boys ability and original
method of securing a diploma. The
least number was piano solo, Var
iations Of "Old Black Joe." This
was very skillfully played by Mrs.
R. Kearney, and brought much en-
thusiasm from the audience. After
