WEALTHY MAN GETS LONG PRISON TERM Sentenced to 5 to 10 Years for
 Assaultin6 Woman

Mays Landing, N. J., Feb. B. Anthony N. Bullock, wealthy Wild wood realty broker, convicted last week of making criminal assault on Mrs. Mary Newman of Philadelphia, was sentenced to serve from five to ten years at hard labor in the state prison by Judge William H. Smath- CTS today.
 Bullock had evidently expected q heavier penalty and thanked Judge Smathers after the sentence had been imposed but received no answer from the bench.
 His attorneys at once filed writ of error carrying the conviction and sentence to the supreme court of ap- peal and Judge Smathers fixed his bail pending the decision of the higher court at s10,OO0. Bail was furnished and Bullock returned to his home where he said that his aged mother was dangerously i'll.
 Mary Bullock, his 25 year old daughter, who was indicted and tried with her father but acquitted by the jury, was not in the court room when sentence was imposed.
 The attack on Mrs. Newman took place in the Ritz Carlton hotel here after she had been engaged as house. keeper for the father and daughter. Bullock denied the charge and his attorneys claimed that he was the victim of blackmailing plot.
 Bullock is now under another sentence of 10 years in the state prison for a similar attack on Mrs. Eleanor Selmi, also of Philadelphia which occurred in his Wildwood home. Mrs. Selmi, secured a verdict of S60,o00 damages after a civil act.

Condition of Ancient
 Pillar Causes Anxiety

Cairo, Egypt, Feb. 3. - Egyptol- ogists are anxious over the condition of the ancient "Nilometer," pillar with graduated markings indicating the heights of the water in the Nile river, and which is situated in Old Cairo. The monument stands in well, which communicates with the river, but now, after many centur- ies. is sinking, and a committee has been appointed to consider means of saving it. The niometer's age is un- known. Some antiquarians believe if to be the identical pillar mentioned in the first century of the Christian era by Pliny who recorded that if the water reached the 12 cubits mark a famine was indicated, if 1s, scarcity; 15, safety, and Is, plenty. Some authorities however, hold that 1t was not erected earlier than the eighth century, but certainly many hundreds of years

OPIUM DEBATE IS
 WITHOUT RESULT. Geneva Conference Still Far
 From Decision
, The Associated press.

By The Associated PTess.
 Geneva, Feb. 3.--A lengthy ses- sion today of the joint commission of the two opium conferences failed to result in any agreement on the problem of suppression of opium smoking in the Far East--the prin- cipal sticking point in the long drawn-out conferences over the opium evil which had been in pro- sress here almost continuously since last November.
 On motion of Aguero Betancourt, of Cuba. a subcommittee was ap- pointed to make a last attempt to find ground for compromise be- tween the conflicting views of the United States and those of Great Britain and some of the other Euro- pean powers.
 The committee consists of repre- sentatives of the United States, Great Britain, France, Japan and Finland. with pr. Herluf Zahle, Of Denmark, president of the interna- tional opium conference, as observer.
 Representative Stephen G. Porter, of Pennsylvania, who wants the pow CTS 10 begin the suppression of opium smoking immediately and abolish 1t entirely within 15 years, read statement to the effect that the plan which would make the suppression conditional on the re- duction of the growth of opium in the producing countries was not feasible.
 He insisted that the obligations imposed upon the nations by the Hague convention could not be transformed into contingent obliga- tons. The United States, Porter said. was suffering seriously from leakage in the distribution of opium in the Far East. and he asserted that the only remedy possessed by the United States is to insist on the definite suppression of the importa- tion of opium into the Far Eastern countries for smoking purposes.
 Viscount Cecil, head of the Brit ish delegation, stuck to the position the British have held all along. He said definite suppression could only come when smuggling ceased to be a serious obstacle to governmental efforts to put stop to the practice.
 Mir. Sugimura of Japan revealed during the debate that MT. Porter in private conservations had agreed on waiting period of three years before beginning to apply the smok- ing restrictions to give China time 10 control her production. This of fer was not accepted by the Euro- pean powers who want an impartial commission to decide when the growth of the plant had been so re- duced as to cause a cessation of the smuggling danger.

NEW JUNCTION BRIDGE
NOW UNDER CONSTRUCTION

Work has commenced upon the
new structure which is to replace the
Junction bridge, landmark of the
city for the past thirty years or so.
The old bridge was closed to traf-
fic last week, and the contractors,
The Minneapolis Bridge Company,
have a crew of men at work hauling
down the old structure and preparing
for the new.
They will build an overhead rivet-
ed truss span of construction simil-
ar to the railway bridge at the upper
end of the electric power plant pond.
The roadway, which is to be paved
with creosote blocks, will be eight
feet wider than the present bridge.
The new bridge is to cost about
$4,000, and is to be completed by the
first of next August.

list and the latter's daughter, Miss
Margaret, and Miss Fleta McLaugh-
lin, enroute to Red Wing to bring
home Mr. McKeever's wife, who had
been in the hospital there.
Mr.. McKeever, who is about 60
years old, lost control of his car as
he was defending the steep, winding
Hager hill, and the machine crashed
through the fence and plunged head
long into the deep ravine.

New Postal Rates
Confusing Many

Although The Journals Mailing
Tips" column has been devoted for
several weeks past to an explanation
of the new postal rates, there are
many in this community who are
either wasting postage Or having
their mail delayed thru misunder-
standing of the new schedules.
First, it is to be understood that,
as far as postage is concerned there
is no change in the rate for first
class matter. That is to say, your
private letters will go for the same
postage as heretofore, namely, &c
per ounce, and government postal
cards are still one cent each.
But the government postal card
should not be confused with private
mailing cards, picture post cards,
etc, for these require two cents
each.
Many people sent their local or
ther papers on to children in other
towns, or to friends or relatives who
are interested in the old home town
news. Formerly this cost but one
cent for four ounces and people got
into the habit of putting 1c stamp
on this class of mailing.
There is a big change in this now,
newspapers thus mailed requiring
two cents for each two ounces. This
does not mean lie an ounce, however,
for &c is the minimum rate. That is
to say, one ounce or two ounces re-
quires two cents postage; 8 ounces or
four ounces requires cents; 5
ounces or six ounces requires &C, and
z ounces or ounces requires &c.
Parcels over 8 ounces go at parcel
post rates, and these too are I'M
changed except that a &c service
charge is required for each parcel.
There are many changes in diff
ferent fees, but the above are the
points which the average post office
patron seems to be missing at this
time.

FISHING SEASON OPENS
WEEK FROM TOMORROW

Trout anglers will be out on the

from tomorrow-Friday, May 1,-all
with especially keen hopes of land
ing some of the "pounders" which
were planted in the stream this win
ter.
The past few days of this week
have been ideal for trouting, and the
Waltonians are. hoping for a re-
petition Of this weather for the
grand opening.
No changes were made in the trout
laws this year, and the limit is set
on the number, not on size, but it is
hoped that true craftsmanship will
be shown in the matter Of taking
out only sizeable fish and leaving the
"minnows" for another years
growth.

DR. SHERWOOD EDDY
COMING APRIL 2S-29-30

The schools and community of
River Falls will have the rare priv
ilege of visit from Sherwood Eddy
and his corps of Christian workers.
DR.. Eddy will deliver at least six
public addresses besides conducting
a number of conferences with special
groups the last three days Of April
on the Normal campus.
The Christian organizations of the
Normal School are responsible for
bringing DR.. Eddy here. In the past
these organizations have financed
such undertakings, without any help
from the community, but in this par
ticular instance they feel that the
burden is too heavy, and, therefore,
are asking for little assistance.
Monday, April 27, will be Tag Day,
when such assistance will be sought
in gifts of not more than SOC, nor
less than 10c from each one. 1t is
hoped that this will secure not only
enough to pay the expense of these
meetings, but that there may be a
small surplus to distribute among
the Christian organizations of the
Normal to help in carrying on their
work.

New Hospital Board
Appointed By Mayor

Mayor W. Vannatta has appointed
Doctors A. E. Gendron and r. U.
Cairns and Messrs. A. W. Stiles,
Rod McGregor and l. l. Lusk tc COM
prise The Peoples Hospital Board.
By its vote this Spring River Falls
indicated its preference for a NUM-
cipal hospital, and the provisions
of the resolution as voted upon call
for this board to guide the destinies
of the institution.
1t is the belief of those who voted
for the hospital that under city
chaperoned, and proper administra-
tion by the Hospital Board, the in
stitution may become one Of the
greatest assets of which the COM
munity can boast, and its progress
under the new regime will be closely
watched.
Those who worked so hard to
maintain the Hospital since its in
ception have had to carry on against
neaVy odds Such as narrow jealous
les, lack of moral as we'll as finan-
cial support, and severe handicaps
from misrepresentation. The COM
munity owes these people a debt of
gratitude for bringing the institution
through and for the great service it
has rendered.
With the honest and capable SER
vice which the new board is able to
perform, and with the wholehearted
backing which it should receive as a
city institution The Peoples Hos
pital is now firmly established in po-
sition to reflect the progress and de-
velopment of the city and its citi-
zens.
