George w. Offutt. attorney. and

management was what was largely
desirable in the Municipal Court and

could assign the judges according
to their respective talents. He said
that the police magistrate system

committee drafting the proposals.
Under examination by Representa-
tive Gilbert of Kentucky, Judge
Schuldt discussed the large number of
cases of driving while drunk under
the Sheppard law cluttering up the
jury trial docket, undisposed of. He
said that the district attorneys of
flee was the moving party in such
cases, and explained that that office
had decided it better to prosecute of
lenses under the traffic act of 1925,
carrying a jail sentence of 60 days,
rather than under the more lenient
Sheppard act. 1t was all that the
district attorneys office could do, he
said, to keep up with current bust

The jury trial docket in Police
Court today is 1900 cases behind,
Judge Schuldt told the committee.
Deputy Chief Clerk r. l.. Humphrey
of the Police Court here introduced
statistics to show the congestion of
the dockets. Some 1929 cases were
taken into Police Court during the
last year, ending January /, 1927, he
said. From the year 1925, 141 cases

CHICAGO, February lin 1886
George w. Snow took a flyer" in
Chicago real estate. Being conserva-
tive. he bought only two blocks of
land and paid $500 for it. On this he
built a home and, looking over his
pretentious grounds, wondered If, per-
haps, he hadn't been too much of an
optimist.
Yesterday, however, his heirs looked
upon Mr.. Snow as a man of wonder
full foresight, for they sold a tiny
fraction Of his original $500 pur-
chase-just AZ feet of frontage-to
Maurice Rothschild, mems clothier,
for $1,100.00O.
This was at the rate of about
$685. a front foot For this particu-
lar lot Mr.. Snow paid about $I428, or
about 80 cents a front foot The
Rothschild store stands on the land
purchased and other land adjoining.

Coming out in strong opposition to
proposed merger of Police Court with
Municipal Court. Presiding Judge Gus
A. Schuldt of Police Court last night
told the Gibson subcommittee of the
House District committee that the
draft of the proposed law for this pur-
pose was apparently motivated by self
ish interest, log-rolling and influences
antagonistic to Police Court. Called
upon later for more precise definition
of the antagonistic influences, Judge
Schuldt said that it seemed TO be the
District Commissioners. Later on in
the hearing he mentioned regret for
having made the statement, but did
not withdraw it.
The draft under consideration was
a pan devised by a committee of seven
appointed by the District Commission
ers with the original purpose of inquir
ing into the feasibility of appointing
magistrates to relieve congestion of
petty cases in Police Court. 1t was
found that such a system would not
meet the needs of the situation, in the
opinion of the committee, and a plan
for consolidating Police Court with
the Municipal Court and allowing the
nine judges of the two courts to func-
ton under one presiding head was
substituted for the police magistrate
suggestion.
Suggests Consolidation.
Odell S. Smith. one of the members
of the Commissioners committee,
which included five attorneys and
two laymen, was the first witness last
night. He told the committee that 1t
was believed that centralized system
would be more desirable than alloting
police magistrates to certain sections
of the city, and that by the centralized
system the Police Court and Municipal
Court could be combined with the five
judges of municipal court and four
Judges Of Municipal Court functioning
under one presiding judge. He also
declared that an important element of
this scheme would be the establish

selves into a separate committees ana
we intend that we will get action.
II the Senate tries its old tricks to
Kill this bill, we are all determined
70 give them value received.
1t will. / know, be of interest TO
you TO know that Pine county had
up to January 1925, 122,1s0.67 acres
OF delinquent taxes We have a total
OF 3.499.10 acres of state school
lands and 240 acres Of university
lands. Now when you stop to think
about it, this is quite a little bunch
of land to not receive any taxes from.
and this is just the thing we are
working hard to remedy.
While 1 am on the subject of figures
might tell the people of the village
of Hinckley that the railroad proper
ty in their village is valued as fol-
lows: Northern Pacific $87,364.86,
and Great Northern $29,91O.21. These
figures were obtained from the rail-
road and warehouse commission, and
took the valuation expert some time
to compile. 1t means that the rail-
road property bears a value approx
imately three-fourths of the balance
of the village property. 1 might add
that I am working on a bill to give
Hinckley some relief by virtue of
this fact.
Another relief measure that we are
working on and which will be intro
duced in the House and Senate this
week is measure to provide a tax
on cigarettes, which we are informed
will bring in about one million dol
lars per year, and the money is to
be appropriated to the counties which
have large amounts of delinquent tax
es to be used by the county boards
to pay off existing debts. Pine county
would receive a nice portion of this
fund, and yours truly is a co-author
of the bill.
I must draw this letter to close.
The newspapers of the county have
been very kind to print these letters
for me, and I do not wish to impose
on their generosity too much. 1 can
tell you frankly that 1 would sooner
talk than write and wish it were pos
sible to see you all and talk to you
so that I could tell you just what is
what.
Sincerely your servant,

A SWEDISH STORY

A wealthy land owner had a large
estate near village. He employed
many men who worked in his fields.
These men did not think they were
fed well enough. One day the land
owner came around at lunch time to
overlook what the men had done.
This time the men had bread and
cheese for their lunch. One of these
men was more witty than the rest,
so when the land owner came over
to him this man said: Yesterday
1 thought I was losing my eyesight
because could hardly see the butter
on my bread, but today 1 can see the
spires of seven churches in the viii
lage through my cheese, so my eye
sight certainly cannot be failing"

THE BOOTLEGGER'S
THANKS GIVING
By John Arthur Stahlberg

CNAAAA ~ eAASA AJNctAAAbNAS
I'm thankful for the business 1 have
had thruout the year:
I've sold the suckers many a keg of
worse than worthless beer;
The brandy which I have dispensed
quite frankly got its kick
From bay rum and wood alcohol. I'll
say I've sure been slick!
The stuff I've sold as whiskey-ye
gods! what awful dope!-
Was drained from skable cutters and
doctored up with soap;
My gin and rum were taken from
the sewers of Berlin,
And treated just at midnight with
the essence of all sin;
My cognac and my arrack had hell
ish brand of stencil,
And my champagne caused real pain
quite fit to fright the French;
Stale water from the bathtub of some
obese Wall Street swine,
Lent color by a scorpions blood
that's what I've sold as wine
Oh, yes, I'm very thankful for my
business, you can bet,
But far more thankful no ones made
me drink my own stuff, yet!

ALABAMA FLOGGING
CASES BEFORE COURT:
"a MEN FACE TRIAL

Lnuverne, Ala, Nov 2O.-The first
of "a men charged in indictments with
completely in a score of flogging
cases in Crenshaw county, will go on
trial Monday. A total of 1O2 indict-
ments were returned against the men.
No Individual defendant was des-
ignated as the first to stand trial. At
torney General Charlie C. Mccall.
who will head the prosecution, said he
would oppose any motion of defense
counsel for a continuance to await
the outcome of appeals to the su-
preme court from previous sentences
in connection with floggings in this
county.
In returning 1O2 indictments for
kidnapping and assault and battery
against the 81 men recently, a special
Crenshaw county grand jury reported
that "all of the floggings in Cren-
show county had been committed by
men wearing robes and hoods of the
Ku Klux Klan," and that in every
case men involved "were members of
the khan"
