meeting in the National Bank of
Comm cree rooms this forenoon.
President John B. Richards presided
at the meeting. Among the import
ant matters brought before the club
was the strict enforcement Of the
traffic laws in Mankato in order to
avoid accidents. The club went on
record through a resolution, backing
up the city council and Traffic Off
Ger Henry Kachelmyer in the en-
forcement Of the state traffic laws
to the letter Any violation of these
laws when brought up for prosecu
ton will be backed up by the mem
bers of the club, which is desirous
Of bringing about safety in travelling
the roads and streets. Considerable
stress was placed on the necessity
of having both front lights turned on
autos when driving. The focus of
these lights should be looked after
so that the driver of a car coming
in an opposite direction cannot be
dazzled by the glare of the front
lights of an approaching car. Rear
lights are an absolute necessity IN
order to avoid rear end collisions
The state law stipulates that no
greater speed than six miles an hour
shall be maintained while crossing
street intersections 1t was brought
out at the meeting that if this law
were observed there would be fewer
accidents. George Black. following

action by United States Attorney
General Daugherty in the United
States supreme court next Monday
to recovery more than million dol
lars from Minnesota. the value of
swamp lands sold by the state is
probably the forerunner to a suit for
the recovery OF all swamp lands in
the state, r. P. Chase, state auditor
said today.
Attorney General C. L. Hilton
Wednesday was advised that the
federal government will seek an or
der from the United States supreme
court Monday requesting that they be
permitted to file a complaint against
Minnesota for the recovery OF the
value of 100, 600 acres Of swamp
lands and the timber cut from that
land and the cession. of $4,000 addi-
tional acres in swamp land in White
Earth Indian reservation.
If this action is brought il means
that all the swamp land granted the
state by the federal government in
the early sixty's will be the subject
of question and several millions OF
dollars will be involved.
II is not expected that any definite
action as to arguments will take
place before the supreme court OF
