 Welcome

St. Paul, Minn., June $. R-Po- litical differences were forgotten to- day as the people of Minnesota and the northwest joined In honoring President Coolidge, their guest for the day.
 Coming into the territory which was battle ground in the last po- litical campaign. on none political mission-to pay tribute to the Nor wcgian immigrant-tbe executive was given welcome that did not know the bounds of race or party.
 Thousands of cheering men, wom- en and children. lining the Union station concourse and streets near by, greeted the president and Mrs. Coolidge on their arrival last night. Thousands of others awaited an op- portunity to get q glimpse of them today, to hear the presidents ad- dress at the Norse-American cen- tennial celebration at the state fair grounds, or to see them at close range at q public reception tonight al the state capitol.
 While here the president and Mrs. Coolidge are guests at the home of Secretary and Mrs. Kellogg. They will leave for Washington shortly before midnight tonight on a special train which Is due to ar rive at the capitol Wednesday morn ing.
 An arrival last night after a thir- ty hour train ride from Washington. MT. and Mrs. Coolidge went to the Kellogg home, but not until the president clasped the grimy hands of J. w. Murphy, engineer and w. Land. fireman, on the engine which pulled the train into St. Paul with the remark:
 That was a fine ride"
 Soldiers from Fort Smelling aided police in their effort to handle the crowd which surged toward the president as he made his way through the station. Even after he had found seclusion at the Kellogg residence, hundreds of curious folk fingered in the adjoining stret. A chant, started by a group of young sters, We want Coolidge" grew in volume, but failed 10 bring the president to the door for a speech. The crowd let out a wild cheer. however, when Mir. Coolidge ap- peared at a window to wave a greet ing.

ENGLAND SAID TO BACK UP
 RANCO-BELGlAN FRONTIER AS ESTABLISHED ON RHINE
MANS DEATH CAUSED
 BY DISPUTE OVER sIO
SapkO Bound Over to Su. perior Court on Man.
 slaughter Charge

Charles sapko. 20, of Winter street, was held under $2,5OO bonds for the September term of superior court by Judge William C. Hunger ford In police court this morning after a hearing on a charge Of man. slaughter in connection with the death of Alexander Laskazewski, who died at the New Britain Gen. eral hospital last Monday night from a compound fracture of the skull. The fracture is alleged to have been received in a fight in which Sapko assaulted Laskazewsl6i last Sunday night.
 Attorney B. J. Mankiewicz, who represented Sapko, made a plea to the court to hold Sapko under the original bond of $1,5O0 set when he was first arraigned, but the court ruled that the case presented a se- rious aspect and he felt that a heavier bond should be required.
 Medical Examiner John B. Pur- ney, who performed an operation on Laskazewski in an effort 10 have his life and then performed the autopsy on the body, testified that the mans death resulted from a compound fracture of the skull, caused by blow on the head by blunt instru- ment. None of the states witnesses were able to say that Sapko, when he struck the man at the corner of Lyman and Gold streets last Sunday night, had anything in his hand, but Prosecutor Joseph c. Woods brought out that none of them was close enough to the scuffle to distin- guish whether Sapko used his fist only or had something in 1t.
 According to the testimony in court. the scuffle that resulted in Laskazewski's death started when he accused Walter Maikowski, part ner of Sapko's in store at 57 Ly- man street, of cheating him out of s10. After short argument, Mai kowski put Laskazewsh out of the store and Sapko went out after him and walked across the street with him to where the alleged assault took place.
 Patrolmen William Mccarthy and Alfred Tanguay found Laskazewski lying on the steps of the house at 55 Lyman street in an unconscious condition, the blood flowing down the side of his head from a wound on the top. Medical Examiner Pur- ney testified that the wound on the mans head could not have been caused by fall.
 Before the case was heard, Prose- cutor Woods entered nolles in the cases of Walter Maikowski and Julius Walnugewicz held as material wit nesses to the assault on charges of breach of the peace. Judge William F. Mangan appeared for them.

GENERAL INCREASE
 IN REALTY VALUES
Outlying Districts to Get Special
 Attention This Year
DEVELOPMENTS NOTICED
Assessments on Centrally Located Properties Not to Be Increased in Proportion to Districts on Out skirts, Opinion in City Hall.

An increase in valuation for sl- most every parcel of real estate in the city is contemplated by the land valuation committee which meets tonight to begin It's review of the entire system of building lot ap- praisal.
 The larger increases, proportion ately, will come in the outlying dis tricts, several of which have been built up since the last basic land values were established, which was in 1921. Property in the center of the city, including Main street land, will be increased somewhat. but not as great, fin proportion, as that of districts away from the more congested areas, members of the committee say.
 Normal Increase on Main Street
 Appraisal Engineer Thomas Lind most active members in the first land valuation committee and who is also a member of the group that is to conduct this survey, said today they expected none but normal boosts in Main street realty. Mir Linder feels the central district is pretty well taken care of at the present assessment, plus the in- creases that ordinarily come over a period of three years. Although not taken as an entirely accurate basis, the proportion of increase provided in leases given over a period of years will be somewhat the same as the proportion of assessment jump to be made effective.
 Selling Prices Not Basis.
 New Britain's business district cannot be placed on the assessors books on the basis of sales made during the year. 1t is explained. This city has congested business dis trict, centralized on Main street, and few of its tributaries, and quite often the purchase price is governed by the buyers necessity for acquir- ing the property, rather than its actual market value. realty experts explain. If the sale price was fo be considered in fixing the appraisal. striking inequalities fin tax would re- s,lt. In the opinion of several of those whose task it will be 10 fix land rates.
 Developments on Outskirts.
 In the center of the city, increases In assessment will, it is expected, be in proportion to the increases made over a period of three years in the days before the land valuation con- mittee was in existence. In the out lying areas, the extent Of their de- velopment since the present figures went into effect will be considered in setting the new figures. This com mittee's decisions, if approved by the common council, will be used in pre- pairing the grand list for next year.

The airmen who are to pilot the seaplanes in search of Amundsen are vigorous Norsemen, whose constant thought is the hope of rescuing Amundsen - although they admit that to find him now would be a tremendous piece of luck.
