DAYS OF THE"49's'
PLAYED By''AMES"
Shackles of Civilization to Be
Cast Off; 100000 Bucks
Ready for "SpOrt."

Thousands of people will have a
chance of their life to see one of the
greatest entertainments ever staged
by the Ames Lodge No. 106 at Elks'
Hall, 9Th and Lyndale Ave. No., Min
neapolis, known as Frolic and Fun
Week. beginning Monday evening,
November 13 to the 26th, inclusive.
To the famous scenes and customs
of the 49," strict attention will be
paid. Those seeking wealth will be
permitted to voice their opinions by
placing their bucks on the wood. AS
in the early days when the prospect
i've player was told all disputes were
settled outside, the crowds are ex-
pected to gather and also to circle
around the roulette table with the
optomist trying to break little Jake's
Bank.
There will be 2,500,O00 bucks on
hand when the doors are opened.
The cage and crap game will have
their share of attention while the
banks are dealing out additional pa
per money to the gamblers.
Members will mix around with the
crowd and saunter in front of the
bar or dance the ancient quadrille.
The "Flapper" will swing by their
partners as they frolic through their
various steps. Box Car Annie does
not gamble but it is expected she
will come in for one or two looks
by the milling crowds.
There will be many more Twin
Cities old-timers there to take a
snatch at the $500 in gold to be CIV
en- away each night. All of the hard
boiled drugstore cowboys are expect
ed to make grand rush on the $50
in gold to be given away Saturday
night, November 20.
It's going to be grand old time
at the Elks' Hall next week when
an old-time gambling scene and from
tier days will be recalled. There is
to be a run on Little Jake's
Bank, so you had better come out
and get your deposits.

PILGRIM RECITAL
SCORES SUCCESS
Miss Ermine Hall FavOrably Re-
ceived Before Large Audi
ence Friday.

Miss Ermine Hall, 16-year-old So
prano, scored an immediate success
before a large audience when she
was presented in recital by the So
cial and Literary Society of Pilgrim
Baptist at the church auditorium last
Friday evening.
Miss Hall rendered four groups in
a very creditable manner. She did
her best work in those numbers call
ing for fairly low tones. Twice she
accompanied herself as she rendered
encores. OF all her selections,
Brahe's 81 Passed by Your Window
was the most popular.
Alfred Shute, student at the Uni
versity of Minnesota, sang several
numbers which allowed him to give
full use to his rich and ever-pleasing
baritone voice. His rendition of
Water Boy" was in every sense de-
lightful. Miss Anna Selma Foster
gave two readings in her usual
capable manner.
Miss Arlee Harris opened the pro-
gram with an excellent Interpretation
of selection from Samuel Coleridge
Taylor.
Miss Ermine Hall and Mr.. Shute
were very ably accompanied by the
sister Of the singer, Miss Dorothy
Hall. While the recital was in prog
ress. the singer received bouquet aft
er bouquet of beautiful flowers, and
a large box of candy.
The proceeds of the entertainment
are to be used in the church building
fund. according to George James,
who made a short speech.

COURTPOSTpONES
TRIAL OF DAVIS.
Slayer of Mrs. Dudley, in Jail
on Murder Charge, Awaits
Summons.
(Preston News Service)

Washington, D. c., Nov. 1.-THE
Police Trial Board Wednesday post
poned for two weeks the trial of Pvt.
George S. Davis, aged So, of the Sec
ond precinct, who is charged with
Staying without provocation, cause
or excuse" Mrs. Desdemona Barnett

Davis to prepare a defense. Davis is
now lodged in the District Jail await
ing trial, having been indicted by the
grand jury on charge of murder.
The policeman, who is said to have
been an ardent admirer of Mrs. Dud-

reconciliation with her husband, and
then turned the weapon on himself.
Though wounded in the head, he re-

SMOOTHING OF
ROADS PLANNED
BEFORE FREEZE
All Roads Being Kept Smooth
Pending Final Freeze-up
of Highways.
Daily Reports Made
No Flowing to Be Done Until
Snow Reaches Depth of
Six Inches.

Have the road smooth when the
freeze-up comes" is the slogan of the
trunk highway patrolmen in Ramsey
county.
But since no one knows when a
freeze-up will be permanent, the only
way the patrolmen can insure a
smooth surface for winter travel is
by keeping the roads smooth all the
time, and this they are apparently
trying to do.
Roads to Be Open.
If local motorists go on long trips,
they will find the same thing happen
ing in other parts of the state, for
the State Highway department an
nounces that it is going to keep the
roads as good as possibly can be done
during the coming winter. Plans for
snow removal were announced re-
Gently by Commissioner C. M. Bab-
cock, but highway patrolmen have
duties in case of an open winter also.
Employment is on a part-time
basis. Wherever it thaws, they will
blade the road surface to fill ruts and
chuck holes and have the road
smooth for the next freeze-up. Water
puddles that may accumulate when
it thaws will be drained. Culvert
inlets and outlets will be kept open.
Gravel hauling by the maintenance
forces will be done only to fill holes
that may develop by traffic during
thaws.
Flowing Planned.
No snow 'plowing or grading will
be done until snow is more than six
inches deep, and no plowing will be
done when it drifts faster than it can
be removed. Patrolmen are instruct
ed to give attention first to any places
where traffic may get stuck. A little
snow will be left on the road to facili-
tate sleigh traffic. Snow removed by
blade graders is spread so as to leave
no obstruction which will catch drifts

the Legal Defense Fund and covering

Madisonville, KY, of two colored
editors of Louisville, Messrs. 1. Willis

charges of libel growing out of their
forcible protests against farcial trials
and railroading to death of colored
men accused of crime in Kentucky.
The N. A. A. C. P. has been fol-
lowing this case since last May, at
which time the colored editors re-

ment had been made.

Weldon Johnson, N. A. A. C. P. Sec
retary, said:
'The case of these editors is, one
of the most important and far-reach-
ing the N. A. A. C. P. has taken part
in. 1t involves the freedom of the
press, the freedom of colored editors
to speak their honest opinions on
racial injustices even in the South,
unmuzzled by threat of imprison-
ment. We await the outcome of this
case with anxious interest"

Fraud And Deceit In The Sale Of The Automobile

sumo that he can buy machine
with some perfectly obvious defect
and then charge the seller with the
consequences of his own careless
ness.
Let the buyer beware" is a very
ancient legal rule, and it imposes
upon the purchaser the duty of in
specting the machine carefully for
OBVIOUS defects even where these
are misrepresented to him by the
seller.
To illustrate this point, it may be
said that the purchaser may rely On
the statement by the seller that the
car has been rebuilt and put in good
running condition, but not on state
ments regarding the exterior of the
car, such as that it has been re-
painted when an inspection would
Immediately disclose the falsity of
such statement.
Of course, the more careful the
inspection, the less chances of un-
pleasant after-sonsequences for the
purchaser. This is particularly true

represented in the contract as being
a certain model, for he will be bound
by the terms of his contract even
though the seller afterward falsely
represents to him that the machine
is of better or later model than is
mentioned in the contract. In order
to recover damages from the seller,
it will be necessary for the purchas-
er to show that he sustained some
damage or pecuniary loss by reason
of the fraud.
A purchaser who discovers that he
has been defrauded ir the manner
above set forth must, however, take
cGre that he does not waive the
fiaud by some subsequent act on his
part, such as making further pay
ment upon the car, or if he does so
his right to recovery may be de-
feated.
The rule works both ways and if
the buyer makes Misrepresentation
to the seller regarding a used car
which he is trading in, the seller
may avail himself of the protection
of the courts as outlined above.

If the seller of an automobile, in
his eagerness to secure the purchas-
er's money, makes representations
as to material facts regarding the
machine which afterward turn out
to be pigments of the sellers fertile
imagination" the purchaser is en-
titled to rescind the sale or to re-
cover damages from the seller on
the theory of what is known as
fraud and deceit.
Automobiles have no teeth and
the law recognizes that the pur-
chaser of one does not enjoy the ad-
vantages of the old fashioned horse
trader. No amount of inspection
short of tearing the automobile to
pieces will enable the purchaser to
determine whether the cylinder walls
are in good condition or whether
they have been scored and filled in
with red lead. If the seller tells him
IF is in first class condition, and af-
ter running it couple of hundred
miles it develops some violent inter-
nal disorder, the purchaser may re-
turn the machine and recover the
purchase price.
Even a misrepresentation as to the
horse power of the machine may give
the purchaser such right. If the
machine is sold by an agent, these
Misrepresentation are enforceable
against the principal, who cannot re-
tain the purchasers money and thus
enjoy the benefits of his agents
fraudulent conduct. All misrepresen-
tations as to the age, model, mileage
or condition of the machine are ac-
tionable, as is the sale of used car
as a new one. In this connection, the
word "new" means more than that
the MACHINE is the latest model put
out by the dealers manufacturer and
has been held to be a practical guar
antee that the machine is not used
or secondhand.
All of these actions are based on
the theory that the defects misrepre-
sented were latent ones which the
purchaser could not by a reasonable
inspection have ascertained. But the
purchaser should not, therefore, as
