STATE TEACHERS LOSE
TO MCINTOSH OUTFIT
St. Cloud Teachers Will Play
Here Wednesday in Last
of Local Schedule

Mcintosh high school defeated the
Bemidji State Teaches rcollege bas-
ketball squad at the new armory Sat
urday night in a very interesting con
test by a score Of 8 to 8. The visit
ing team was fast and presented a
lineup which proved very able at
and also in teamwork. Good
defensive playing on the part of Be-
midi kept the scoring down.
Elliott, stationary guard, was the
star of the Bemidji squad. His abili-
ity to pick the right mani kept Nc
1ntosh from getting in for many
close shots. Jensen, center, was the
star for the Mcintosh quint. Last
year he was honored with the all
district center position, and his speed
and ability this year should get him
a place this year.
Riggs led the scoring for Bemidji
with one field basket and three free
throwsy Simons, the other forward,
scored one field basket and Horns,
center, scored one free throw.
For Mcintosh, Jensen led in the
scoring with one field basket, and
one free throw. Dale, Torgerson
and Ellenson each scored one field
basket. J. w. Smith of this city ref
creed and a clean game was the re.
suit.
The St. Cloud State Teachers col
lege basketball squad will play here
Wednesday evening, March l, in a
return game against the Bemidji

on the Bemidji teachers schedule to
be played on the home floor, since

was unable to come here last week
on account Of the storm and rail
service, will not play>here this year
St. Cloud defeated Bemidji on
the St. Cloud floor several weeks ago
but on the Bemidji floor much
closer game is looked for and every
indication is that this will be the big
gest game of the season for the To-
Gals, since two teachers colleges are
the contenders. Hearty public sup
port is especially urged for this game

RAILROAD PROTECTION
COSTLY TO MISSOURI

Jefferson City, Mo-, Sept. 12.-The
maintenance of military protection for
railroad property during the strike of
the railroad shop crafts had cost the
State Of Missouri $I5s,059.05 Sept.
9, according to figures just made pub
lie by Adjt. Gen. William A. Raupp.
The actual cost of maintaining troops
in Missouri during the strike, how
ever. is greatly in excess of these fig
ures, the federal government having
footed the bill for the annual encamp-
ment at Nevada, Mo-, in which troops
were held mobilized for possible
strike duty. These regiments were
under arms in the first camp, which
began July 16 and ended July goth,
and one regiment was eneamped at
Nevada from August 6 to August 21.
Opportunity for the state" Adjt.
Gen. Daupp said in issuing the fig

Cured during the strike. This shift
ed the burden Of large expense to the
Federal Government. If the total cost
of maintaining troops in Missouri dur
ing the strike period were produced
they would probably be twice as large
as those attributable to the state"
Provisions for the National Guard
now in strike duty cost about so
cents a day per man, according to
the adjutant general. About 986 men
are on railroad strike duty. They are
distributed among Moberly New
Franklin, Poplar Bluff and Chaffee.
One hundred and twenty-three Off
GERS and men who had been detailed
to Macon have been assigned to va
cancies in other units made by the
discharge of officers and men on
whom army service was believed to
have worked a peculiar hardship.
These men, Gen. Raupp said, included
schoolboys and business men.

6 YEARS FOR MISSOURI
SAVINGS BANK CLERK

James B. Simcox, 80 years old,
former chief teller of the Missouri
Savings association bank, was SEN
fenced to six years in the peniten-
tiary when he pleaded guilty to em-
bezzlement charges on three counts.
Price Wickersham, attorney for the
Bankers Service company, bonding
company for Simcox, and Cameron
Orr, county prosecutor, appeared with
Simcox before Judge Ralph S. Lat
shaw.
Simcox was charged with embez-
zling $3.50 on April Is, 1922; $40 on
April %, and taking $10O Of the
banks funds on August 16, 1922. He
was sentenced to two years In the pen
itentiary on each of the counts.
Bank officials and heads of the
bonding company have charged the
Simcox shortage to be in the neigh
borhood of $25,0OO.
Simcox, who lives with his wife
and four children at 2208 East Sixty
ninth street, stood quietly with bent
head before Judge Latshaw.
He admitted that his salary had
only $16O month. Judge Latshaw
questioned him about what he did
with the money.
II made poor investments, that i

Orr declared to the court his belief
that Simcox had an accomplice.
"There is no doubt that this man did
this thing alone" the prosecutor said
"My investigation shows there wers
others in conspiracy with Simcox.'
The theory of an accomplice is alst
the belief of J. D. Schwitzebel, head
of the Bankers Service company, who
carried on the Simcox investigation

munity, and the above from the ST

A BOOSTER FOR THE
18TH AMENDMENT

Detroit, Mich, Sept. 12.-The Ford
Motor Co. and its 5000 employees
have climbed on the water wagon.
IL there had not been SO many
empty seats on the vehicle it might
have suffered from, such a passenger
list: As it is, the Legendary bus
.creaksd and wabbled and few IN
durable scapegoats slipped of. This
was the first day of enforced bone
dry operation Of the Ford plant. The
day saw the beginning of an aggres-
sive war to be made by the autonao-
bile manufacturer against the use of
all forms of intoxicants among his
tens of thousands of employees. Lii
quor on workman's breath, any
on his person or any in his home will
mean summary dismissal.
I The private campaign is the re
suit of failure of Federal and county
officials to enforce prohibition in High
Land Park and Springwells, the two
cities where the main Ford plants are,
Henry Ford said.
In several cases, liquor has been
carried into the shops with fatal re-
suits. One workman died after drink
ing concoction bought near the River
Rouge plant. Another driving an au-
tomobile under the influence of IL
quor caused series of traffic acci-
dents. Men working for Ford have
found it possible to purchase almost
openly, raw liquor made from corn,
raisins and other mash, within a
stones throw of the plants.
at must STOP" Henry Ford said to-
day, "We're going to end it. Starting
today, it viii cost a man his job, with
out any excuse or appeal being con-
sidered, to have the odor of beer, wine

of these intoxicants on his person OF

'The 18th amendment to the Consti-

CIRCUIT COURT GIVES
WAY TO GRAND JURY

For the first time in a number OIL
years a grand jury has been called
for Charlton county. The reasons
are many and the witnesses who will
he called and examined are said 70
number about 100. The latest re-
mort from Salisbury is this session Oh
the jury will last the entire week.
The principal reason Of this ses-
sion of the grand jury is because Oh
violations of the 18th amendment.
During the past week search war
rants have been issued and the result
was gratifying, to say the least JUST
one still with 200 gallons of mash, anu
the confsction Of 900 gallons OF VINE
and several arrests were recorded.
Those arrested we're able to procure
bond and their cases will soon come up
in court for trial.
In connection with this it might be
of interest to know that. Townsman
Senator Jno. D. Taylor has been one
of the moving spirits Some time
since the genial Senator received a
commission from the Republican gov
ernment that hangs out at Jefferson
City, Mo-, and that same commission
carries the title Of Assistant Attor-
ney General for Missouri. The COM
mission gives Mr.. Taylor power to act
in a whole lot of cases that hereto
fore have not been given the proper
attention.
The activities of the past week car
be traced directly to the fact that
Mr.. Taylor is free to act and does
not have to ask permission from any
other powers that be to get immediate
operation of the laws in connection
with violations of the 18th amend
ment. To be sure search warrants
and such like were issued occasional
ly before, but the warning in about
so per cent preceded the arrival OF ths
officers. From now on the warning
win be minus quantity.
The session Of this term OF thu
Circuit court has been advanced Z
Saturday, October 80, and the casei
will be reset for then. The petit
jury was discharged and sent to theil
homes until that time.

FORD SHUTDOWN BEGAN, 1Oo,-
900 MEN NOW OUT OF WORK

Detroit, Sept. 16.-Close to 100000
Ford employees in various localities are
out Of employment at the closing time
tonight when the huge Ford plants at
Highland Park, Dearborn, River
Rouge, Worthwhile and many other
factories engaged in manufacturing
Ford parts and supplies are schedul-
ed to close down, awaiting Henry
Ford's next move in his fight against
Wall street fuel profiteers and high
coal prices.
The first layoff occurred at IL
o'clock last night, and $4,000 River
Rouge employees were confronted with
posters instructing them to turn in all
their tools and to remain away from
the factory until further notice.
A mere handful of men were re-
tanned in the foundry department, pre-
sumably to keep the mammoth coke
ovens burning.
A statement made by. the service
superintendent at the Highland park
plant early today was to the effect
that the suspension of Henry Ford's
local factories will be complete al
closing time tonight. The shutdown
announcement, made by Ford two
weeks ago, was to effect 10000 Ford
workers, in addition to approximately
S0,O 900 employees of other firms max.
| ing Ford parts and accessories and
supplies, the exact number of which
is impossible to estimate.
Henry Ford and his son, Edse
Ford, though at their respective desks
at Dearborn and Highland park to-
day, would give out no statement:
which would indicate the probable
duration Of the shutdown.
The Municipal street railway today
was advised to rearrange its sched
ule for transportation Of Ford work
ers after today.
