Mills said that when he saw Mrs.
Hall at the church at $3.50 in the
morning she had assured him that
she would notify the, police. Mrs.
Hall stated yesterday she was not
certain whether she, called the po-
lice before or after she met Mills. q
Commenting on Mrs. Halls state
ment that she was not indicative
and that she did not care to see any
one punished for the murders, Mills
said: II am not indicative either
but I want to see the murderer pun
ished. I believe 1t was woman s

tiors, one of which is to be held
here in February, and also COM
mented upon the success of the Elk
state convention held here during
the past summer.
Housing, and the conditions in
the city were briefly discussed, re-
garding the activities of that
branch of the association in the
past.
Traffic and freight rates, were
discussed at some length by Mr..
Olson. He stated that committees
were considering the possibility of
establishing a traffic department
to look after the needs and to pre-
tectthe interests of the community
in transportation matters, and to
assist individual members in the
transportation problems confronting
them from time to time. Work for
an adjustment of the freight rates
applicable to Mankato from Chi
cago and points east thereof with
a view of removing discrimination
that now seems to exist between
the rates and those in st. Paul and
Minneapolis and other competing
points"
Regarding Street improvements
Street improvements, Mr.. Olson
stated had BEEN advocated by the
repairing of pavement where desir
able. He told of the efforts made
recently by the association and its
members to help bring to an end
the controversy between the city
officials and the street car company
regarding the paving between the
street car tracks. -
The chairman next called on W.
A. Streater, as chairman of the
Armory seating committee, to tell
of the efforts made to provide the
seats for the institution.
Mr.. Streater described the ar
mory as a community house and
said that 1t was up to the com.
munity as whole to help support
the, place. Business men of the
city, he said, had agreed to under
take to establish line of credit by
signing notes, so that chairs for
the arnory could be obtained.
|" I'VE feel that the seating of the
armory is a community affair, and
should be taken care of by the
community. A<big benefit dance or
rather charity-ball, is to be given,
and the proceeds to go toward re-
ducing the obligations of the notes
signed by the sixty eight business
men. 1t is hoped that when the
committee comes around to sell
tickets for the affair that there will
be cordial response from every
body"

der the age of twelve to sell papers

forced"
The board debated this letter for
short tine.\ 1t was the general
opinion that in many instances
there are a number of children who
are out too late, but on the other
hand there are many children sell
ing papers, who have no other
means of income for their families,
and whose mothers, according TO
the truant officer, have no other
support for family. No action
was taken on the. matter.
