C.&N. HEARING
AT SLEEPY EYE
ON JULY II
RAILROAD AND WAREHOUSE
COMMISSION ORDERS HEAR
ING REGARDING DISCON-
TINUANCE OF TRAINS.
MANY TO ATTEND MEETING
TRAINS 63 AND GA BETWEEN
SLEEPY EYE AND REDWOOD
FALLS HANGS IN
BALANCE.

Recent word was received by the
Gazette to the effect that the Kali
road and Warehouse Commission has
ordered hearing to be held in the
C. & N. w. Railway depot at Sleepy
Eye on Tuesday, July 18th, at 2:3O
p. M, regarding the permission OF the
c.. & N. w. Railway TO discontinue
the operation of trains Nos. 63 and
Ga between Redwood Falls and Sleepy
Eye.
On March 18th the Redwood Falls
Commercial Club and the Civic Club
of Morgan met in the local cluD rooms
to discuss the matter of the &. q n.
w. Railway curtailing one train daily
between the two points mentioned.
At that time a request was mailed
to the Railroad and Warehouse Com
mission at ST. Paul to the effect that
one train discontinued daily would
badly cripple the service into Red
wood Falls and Morgan and that 1t
was the wishes of the two civic or
CARNATIONS that the two trains be
maintained. This request was also
mailed to the C. & N. w. Railway.
The Chicago and Northwestern
Railway Company, in their request to
the Railroad and Warehouse Commits
sion, alleges that the operation OF
trains 60 and Ga is unnecessary for
public convenience and that by their
disseminating, a saving of approx
mately 100000 year can be effect
ed.
At the meeting of the local civic
organization Wednesday night, June
10Th. there no doubt will be action in
regard to the city having strong
representation at the meeting. 1t is
known that Sleepy Eye will be repre-
scented at the meeting prepared to
fight the discontinuance of the two
trains and it is hoped that Morgan
and Evan will also be strongly rep
resented.
At the meeting of the club We'd
nesday night there will be several
matters for discussion brought up
among them principally the matter
of levying tax for the support OF a
city band. A report from the Good
Roads committee undoubtedly Will be
read also. With so many matters OF
y Importance to come up at this meet
ing it is the request of President

 tailing Production

Washington. May Il R-somc of the leading oil producers have ap- pealed to the federal government for help in restricting oil produc- ton. and the federal oil board has replied that the government is ready to assist in any proper man. ner.
 The appeal. which embodies a restriction plan to guard against over production, was addressed to Secretary Work. chairman of the oil board. and was signed by Wal ter c. Teagle. president of the stan- dard Oil Company of New Jersey, and W. s. Parrish. former presi- dent of the American Petroleum in- stitute.
 It declared that over-production had "recurred this year in a form so malignant as to see to be without precedent" A co-opera- tive method of control, worked out through joint purchase of certain producing lands. was proposed as q solution. Yesterday Mir. Teagle dis
  cussed this plan with Secretary Work, who told him to consider it in conference with other oil men and then again consult with the board. Oil producers are meeting in New York today with that pur- pose in view.
 The present plight of the indus try is recognized fully by this board" said Secretary Work today. "and I feel that the leaders of the oil world realize that the govern- ment is ready and willing to assist in every proper manner to meet the crisis. There are certain federal sta- tutes which of course govern, as we'll as the police laws of the sey- eral states and other local acts and regulations which cannot with inn punity be brushed aside, even in an emergency. But the federal oil board will be glad to counsel and advise with the industry and do everything within reason and the scope of the law to assist"

CHAPLIN DOES NOT
 TESTIFY IN COURT
But Lawyer Appears to Deny
 Plagiarism Charges

New York, May II (TP)-Charles Chaplin failed to appear in federal
 court today. disappointing the large crowd which had gathered for the ] closing moments of the $5o,O0O plagiarism suit against the film comedian by Leo Loeb, disinfectan mt salesman.
 Despite absence of the defendant, testimony continued In his behalf. Loeb charged that Chaplin appro- priated his scenario. "The Rookie" for Shoulder Arms"
 A deposition by Sydney Chaplin, brother of the comedian, was read by Nathan Burkan, attorney for Chaplin. Sydney said he was "gag" man during the making of "shoul- der Arms" and that Charlie had not worked from a written scen- ario. He admitted he did not know where his brother had derived the idea for the picture.
 Thomas Harrington of Los An- seles, Chaplin's valet in 1918, cor rcborated testimony of other witt nesses that the comedian was in the south during April, 1918, at the time the Loeb scenario was examined and rejected at the stu dio.
 Charles K. Harris, music pub fisher and writer. was another witness.
 R. l.. Griffin, literary agent. tes- titled for Chaplin that had any author. even Booth Tarkington, submitted a scenario in the same shape as was Loeb's. he would not have considered passing it on to a prospective client.
 Both sides rested before the luncheon recess and Burkan began his summation.
 ITO give the plaintiff verdict of even $1 would be to brand Charlie Chaplin literary pilferer." he said.
 "Mr. Chaplin admitted there were similarities between The Rookie and Shoulder Arms. but you must rot be misled by that. There are sin1ilaritics between q dollar watch and one with fine Swiss move- ment, but they could not be con- used"
 Burkan had not completed his argument at the recess.
