Upset Boosts st. James
Chance In Derby,
Experts Say


(By Leased, Wire to The Aee-H erald)
NEW YORK, May 2.--Another cham
pion horse of 1928 was compelled to In
hale the dust when Sarazen, the 3-year-
old gelding which won 10 races and
was not once defeated as 2-year-old
last season, lost the Lynbrook handicap,
a six-furlong hike, at Jarnica track FRI
day,
sarazen was beaten by a length and
half by Bfacadale, a 3-year-old colt
owned by the Rancocas or Sinclair
farm. Braeadsle isra haIf-brother OF
the great Man-o'-War, as Fair Play
sired them both
Sarazen, owned by Mrs. w. X. Van
derbilt, had shown great flashes of
speed in his srtaining sprints and was
the favorite at 1 to 8. He was not in
front after the first furlong pole, how
ever.
His price in the Kentucky derby bet
ting probably will be affected by his
showing.
On the other hand, ST. James, another
great 2-year-old OF, the 1928 season, prob
ably will be a short price horse In the
derby, because OF his victory over Zev,
last years 3-year-old champion in Tues
days Paumonok handicap.

also pointed out that since 1921
when the present administration
was put in charge, the state has
been saved S9,957, 031.68 in taxes.
The tax rate for 1924, outside
the Twin Cities, is SIS mills, as
compared with 8 mills levied in
1928 and paid in 1924, Mr.. Chase
declared. The rate will be even
lower in the Twin Cities and Duluth
it is predicted.
The difference, according to Mr..
Chase, is due to the fact that tax
of .05 levied out in the state for
the teachers insurance and retire
ment fund does not include the
three large cities.
The significant feature of the
saving is that it has been brought
about in the face of an expenditure
of $1,540,0O0 to replace state
teachers college buildings at Man
kato and Winona which were de-
stroyed by fire, and in spite of one
fourth of an additional soldier
bonus appropriation of $4,000, 900
for which provision was made.
Compilations from the state aud
itor's Office reveal that the total ac-
cumulations of trust funds in Min
nesota today amounts to 54,60O.657
the highest ever reported. They
are divided as follows: Permanent
school fund, S39,357,748; perran-
ent university fund, $2,s36, 535; in
ternal improvements land nd, ST.
907,87O, and swamp land fund, So

ished in the dark amid salvos of
applause. After the completion of
the address, the orchestra kept the
audience in good humor with sell
ection after selection in the dark
and to their credit it must be said,
they performed noble work and did
the same with good grace. The
difficulty had been located in the
meantime by the electrician. 1t
was found at the transformer on the
pole near the building AS some
minutes were required to remedy
the defect, the program was con-
tinued without lights, several with
flashlights helping out at critical
times.
The roll of the service dead was
called after which "Taps" was sung
by Mr.. Solheim accompanied by
buglers in several parts of the build
ing. This version of TAPS" by
Prof. A. F. M. Custance of Duluth,
had been rewritten for deeper
voices by Mr.. Custance for the occa-
sion. At the conclusion of "Taps"
the audience arose, faced the East
and for thirty seconds paid silent
tribute to the dead. The program
closed with the singing of America
by the audience accompanied by the
orchestra.
The lights came on at about this
time and the floor was cleared for
dancing. The sliding doors be-
tween the two gymnasiums were
thrown back and both rooms made
one grand ball room. The floor was
good, the music excellent and about
two hundred couples enjoyed the
event until two o'clock. In the
meantime a buffet lunch was served
in the cafeteria down stairs and it
is estimated hat over 1900 people
partook of the excellent viands set
before them by Chef Kolstad and
her assistants.
The entire evening was an i'm
pressive one and will refiain fresh
in the memory of the large con-
course of people for some time
Hundreds of visitors were present
from neighboring communities and
rejoiced with US in the new build
ing.

DAWES ADDRESS

MESABA AND VERMILION RANGE
RESIDENTS ATTEND FINEST
POLITICAL RALLY EVER
HELD IN ST. LOUIS
COUNTY.

A large number of Vermilion and
Mesaba range residents were in
evidence at the Dawes rally in Du-
luth Monday night when 1000
people crowded into the Armory to
hear General Dawes, Theodore
Christensen, Mrs. Remington and
Victor Powers discuss the issues OF
the day from a Republican stand
point. 1000 or more, who could not
gain admission listened to the talk
on the outside through the loud
speaker installed on the 1oof and
connected W tn an ampllfier on the
platform.
Gen. Dawes was given a big ova-
ton on his appearance in the hal
and both at the opening and closing
of his address.
"Where do you stand?" asked
Gen. Dawes at the close of his ad'
dress. Son the rock of the Constl
tuition of the United States, under
the American flag behind Calvlr
Coolidge, or on the sinking sands OF
socialism, under the red flag!
''The two major parties did MOI

paigns. What they probably / N
tended to discuss was the League o.
Nations, the world court, economy

State taxes to be paid next year
will be approximately % per cent
lower than those paid this year.
The permanent trust funds of the

The dedication of the new Mem
orial High School took place Friday
evening and crowd that filled the
spacious new gymnasium was pres
ent and entered into the affairs OF
the evening with zest and vim. The
new gym is capable of seating 1900
people normally and for the occa-
sion chairs for 500 more had been
placed on the gym floor.
Lavick's ten-piece orchestra of
Duluth had been engaged for the
occasion and the dedication was in
charge of the Frank Lozar Post of
the American Legion. The orches-
ira opened the evening with sew
eral very fine selections after which
Rev. H. Russell Browne gave the in
vocation. Oscar l.. SoIheim accom-
panied by the orchestra rendered
"Give Man Horse he Can Ride
in his own inimitable manner and
the applause of the audience was
an indication of the manner in
which it was received.
Leonard Slabodnik, president of
the Board of Education in a neat
address formally presented the
building to the people OF Ely. w.
E. Englund, superintendent of
schools, accepted the building on be-
half of the people and in his usual
accomplished manner thanked the
board.
E. W. Hanson, commander of
Frank Lozar Post, spoke briefly on
the preliminaries leading up to the
construction of the new building
and the choosing of a name. He
told of the part the Legion played
in choosing the name and also told
of other activities yet to come in
connection. At the conclusion of
Mr.. Hanson's remarks he introduced
Hon. Royal A. Stone, of the
Supreme Court who for nearly an
hour spoke on the CONSTITUTION
and Citizenship" His address was
ranctuated with applause. An un-
fortunate occurance took place at
the beginning of Judge Stones adj
dress. The lights of the building
went out. He begged permission to
proceed with the address and fin
