To BREAK RECORD
Paid Auditorium Audi
ence Predicted for GIuck.
NOrdica Only Singer to Pack
H0use-Twenty Years Ago.

That the Alma GIuck- Efrem Zim-
balist concert at the auditorium will be
the biggest musical event of the season
is indicated by the advance seat sale
reported this morning by Prof. Fl. j.
| Dotterweich, manager. AT 10, O'Clock
| this morning, he declares there were
only 598 seats in the auditorium left
unsold. AS the auditorium has a ca
pacity of 1892, prospects now are that
the two artists due here Friday night
will be greeted by a packed house.
The record for last season was 2,40O
who heard Nine. Schumann-Heink.
The largest paid crowd that ever was
gathered in the auditorium was on the
occasion of the concert given here by
Galli-Curci, when approximately $500
seats were sold, ESQ late corners on
that occasion being seated on the
stage. The Schumann-Heinck and the
Lillian Nordica appearances were
financed at an admission price of one
dollar apiece, which was considered
big price at the time of their appear
ance here. The only time since the
Nordica concert, twenty years ago,
when the auditorium was packed for
an entertainment was last winter when
the womens clubs of Topeka gave the
Days of Yore" program and there was
no admission charge.
Topekans, today, like to pay we'll for
their music. At least this is the indl-
cation of the seat sale for the Gluck
concert now on. The seats selling for
one dollar have gone the slowest and
the seats selling at two dollars going
first. There are only SOS seats in the
auditorium being sold at the lowest
price and of these there are now ESQ
left. Eighty of these seats were taken
early by holders of season tickets,
which entitled the purchasers to the
choice of any seats in the house. There
are 40 of the medium priced tickets
still in the box office and only eight of
the highest priced ones. Manager Dot
terweich plans to start sale of seats
on the stage tomorrow and declares
that he has hopes of breaking even the
"DaYs of Yore". record.

WANT BALL LAWS NATIONAL
Magnates Would Have Every State
Pass Anti-Crook Laws.

New York, Feb. 9.-Laws making
it felony to have part in crooked
baseball will be sought in every state
in which the National League oper-
ates, John A. Heydler, president, said
today
Heydler has returned from a meet
ing of the advisory committee of base
ball with Judge Lands.
He denied that Garry Hermann
had been sent before the Ohio legis-
lature to lobby for such bill in the
Buckeye state. saying he had gone OF
his own volition.
I'VE would like to have uniform
laws passed in every major league
state" Heydler said. But this seems
impossible. We would have then a
law making it a felony to offer or ac-
cept a bride for the purpose of in
fluencing a game. The penalty should
be Imprisonment, not a fine.

Reminding of Thirty-Five Year
ViIIage-Farmer Dispute Seen
in Wake of Wreck.
POSSES RUSH TO SCENE
Several Hundred Pounds of Dynamite
Believed Used on Wrecking Con-
crete Construction-$2,0o 900
Reward Offered.

st. Cloud, Minn--The Cold Spring
power dam, about twenty miles from
here, was blown us, two turbines de-
stroyed and the village of Cold Spring
cut off from electrical energy when a
violent explosion of suspicious origin
tore out a twentyfoot section of the
dam at / a. III. Sunday,
Several residents are reported to
have been hurled from their beds by
the force Of the blast, which is said
to have reached the proportions of an
earthquake in the vicinity.
Hastily organized posses of heavily
armed men rushed to the scene of the
explosion, and determined after a
cursory investigation that probably
several hundred pounds Of dynamite
had been used in wrecking the con.
crete construction.
No clue has been unearthed and a
reward of $4,000 has been offered for
the capture and conviction of those
responsible for the explosion.
The dam has been the center Of a
legal battle for thirty-fve years among
farmers who have endeayOred to re-
claim approximately 1000 acres of
land. now inundated by backwater, and
authorities are attempting to link the
blast with some angle of this feud.
In Courts for Years.
Since the dam was built in 1886 1t
has been almost continuously in the
courts. and about twenty years ago,
farmers living north of the power site
petitioned the Stearns county district
court to have the dam removed, on
the ground that they were entitled to
the land flooded by the dam: The petit
ton was denied by the district court
and the decision was sustained by the
supreme court, which contended that
the village of Cold Springs was en-.
titled to the dam.
A few years ago q mill located at
the dam was destroyed by fire and it
was generally believed that incen-
diaries were responsible for the fire,
although no one ever was seized In
connection with the affair.
Ditch Project Rejected.
After the destruction of the mill
property the board of county COM
mssioners of Stearns county granted
the farmers interested in the removal
of the dam the right to lay ditch
along the creek which runs into the
dam as a means of draining the land
they wished to reclaim.
The Stearns county district court
again held in favor of the village and
enioined the county commissioners
from giving approval to the ditch pro-
ject.
Temporary electrical service will be
supplied in Cold Springs through
emergency connections with power
houses in St Cloud. 1t is believed that
more than a month will be required to
repair the damage caused to the dam
and power house by the explosion.

RULES ON ESTATE TAX

Amount So Expended Is ALLOWABLE
Deduction" the U. S. Supreme
Court Declares.

Washington, June An estate tax
is an allowable deduction" from the
income Of an estate in computing net
income, the Supreme court ruled.
The court affirmed a decision Of the
Court of Claims in the case brought
by executors of the Alan II. Woodward
estate in Alabama which held that the
government erred in refusing to ap-
prove such a deduction from the
estates income for 1918.
On motion of Solicitor General Irier-
son the court dismissed the govern
ments appeal from lower court de-
crees holding that the American Can
company did not constitute a monopo-
ly under the Sherman antitrust law.
The governments action was based
on the decision of the Supreme court
in the United States Steel corporation
case. In view Of that decision, Solic-
itor General FriersOn said, it was CON
sidered useless to continue the case
against the American Can company.
