TELEPHONE PEOPLE
Want CONFERENCE
NORTHWESTERN TEL. co. WILL
MEET WITH SAUK CENTRE
BUSINESS MEN
Will DISCUSS SERVICE RATES
APPEAL TAKEN TO COURTS OF
RECENT DECISION OF THE
STATE COMMISSION

With view to ascertaining just
what rate. will be agreeable to the
people of Sank Centre in the event
that an increase is granted them,
representatives of the Northwestern
Bell Telephone compay will meet in
conference with the committee of
business men named by the CONNER
cial Club to investigate the local sit
uation.
Officials of the telephone company
notified City Attorney l.. l.. Kells
that such a conference would be
granted just as soon as the local
committee is in position to place
their case clearly to the telephone
people. 49,
Regardless of the ruling of the
Railway and Warehouse commission
against the proposed increase in tel
ephone rates, the telephone company
recently appealed their case to the
Z Supreme Court and have stated to
city officials that they expected
favorable decision in the matter by
April First.
Il At the Sank Centre telephone ex-
change, Manager j. w. Ward states
that he has no new information on
the situation and that in all probable
ity no definite steps toward the 10
cal situation will be taken until the
action of the Supreme Court is made
known.
According to the present status in
the case, Sank Centre like all other
municipalities in Minnesota is sub
ject to the ruling of the Railway and
Warehouse Commission In ques-
lions such as the one pending, this
body represents the municipality, and
all former franchise rights held. by
the city become void.
Although the matter has not been
openly approached, 1t is generally
understood that one of the matters
placed before the telephone people by
the local Representatives will be that
of improved exchange conditions sc
far as telephone system is con-
cerned.
The old "crank and ,bell'' system
now in use here, has long become OBJ
solete in the better regulated ex
changes. The people of the city fee
that they are entitled to a central en-
ergy system.
Telephone men now feel certain
that the proposed increase will b.
granted them but as yet, they are un
settled as to the plan of increase t.
be adopted in Sank Centre. This i
one of the matters to be threshed GU
at the conference.

GREY EAGLELAD
WASLONE BANDIT
DELBERT SMITH, CHARGED
WITH MURDER AND ROB.
Berry, RAISED THERE
HAS PREVIOUS Crime RECORD
THREE WOMEN, ALLEGED AC-
COMPLETES, PLACED IN
RAMSEY COUNTY JAIL

Wnen the news was given out a
few weeks ago that the fast mail
train on the Northern Pacific had
been held up and robbed of $4,000
short istance out. of st. Cloud, cul-
minating in the shooting of one of
the mail clerks, who died two, days
later from his injuries, it was taken
for granted that the crime was COM
mltted by seasoned and hardened
criminal.
The people of the northwest were
astounded last Friday when the po-
lice and postoffice officials gave out
the statement that the crime had
been committed by Delbert Smith,
lad scarcely 20 years of age.
The case assumed a local angle
when it developed that the criminal
was born five miles northeast of the
village of Grey Eagle and prior to
three years ago spent most of his life
in that village.
Delbert is the son of Mr.. and Mrs.
C. w Smith, who for a dozen years
after leaving the farm, was in the
contracting business at Grey Eagle.
Mrs. Smith operated the hotel for a
number of years. The family removed
from Grey Eagle to Nashwauk, ltas-
ca county, three years ago.
When Friday, of last weeks papers
carried the startling announcement
that he was suspected of being the
lone bandit in this startling robbery
and murder the people of the little
village of Grey Eagle were thrown
into spasms of excitement. Former
play and schoolmates Of Delbert
greedily devoufed every word OF his
alleged connection with the robbery,
/ and Saturday when the Pioneer Press
carried his photograph the young
sters were not slow in Identifying
him. -
The parents of the lad are most es-
Unable people. The Herald has been
reliably Informed that Delbert was
ALWAYS rather hayward, causing his
parents and teachers more or. less
! trouble.
When the world war broke out, al
though too young for the draft, ne
enlisted in the navy and later is said
to have deserted. Investigation has
developed that the holdup Of the mall
train was not his first advent into
the criminal ranks. The Herald I'M
derstands that some months ago ne
was arrested at Winnipeg charged
with whiskey running into the United
States.
The woman with whom young
/; Smith was living in sedate Hamline.
St. Paul, under the name OF Mr.. ano
Mrs. Sommers, has been arrested IL

TOUGH DAYS FOR
THE COAST HURLERS

At the end of the first weeks play
of the Pacific Coast baseball league,
the San Francisco Seals. led. the other
seven clubs in the club batting aver
ages with a percentage of .315. Port
land and Oakland brought up the rear
with .210. Couch, San Francisco, with
two victories was the leading pitcher.
Several men with one and two games
led the batting with 1000 per cent, but
Chadbourne of Vernon with five games
I.xas the logical best man with 474 per
cent.
San Francisco, Los Angeles and
Oakland got away to flying starts for
the 1921 season, the first mentioned
making clean sweep of its series
with Portland, rated one of the weaker
clubs in the circuit. The Seals made
good on all that was said of them, but
it will be necessary to wait until they
get sitter competition before an ac-
lcurate estimate can be made of thei.
worth. =
.. As is usual during the first few
weeks of the season, before the teams
get settled down to their work, the
fans had served up to them every pos
sible grade of play from excellent on
down to atrocious. Boots and wild
filings and all sorts of heartrending
stuff was mixed up with the best of
championship play. Vernon and Sac
ramento played l to 0 game with
only one error charged, while other
games ran into double figures for the
runs and the errors were literally in
terlarded.
These are tough days on the pitchers
while they are getting limbered up.
Batsmen who later probably will not
show at all on the weekly averages
are having the times of their lives
hitting out over 300 per cent, some
going a century or more over these
figures. Ball players know that the
first few weeks of the season is the
time to accumulate good start in the
hit column for it gets tougher and
tougher to find the ball as the season
advances.
