MRS. SNYDER HAS
 NEW PLEA DENIED
MurdereSS' Mother Fails to Move
 Governor Smith

Albany. \. Y.. Dec. 9 P,-Step- pihs Clear or the ponderous legal machinery lawyers have set in mo- tton 10 save Ruth Snyder from the electric chair, her mother has made direct and dramatic appeal to Gov. smith for executive clemoncy. The appeal of the almo ost hysterical wom- an. Mrs. Josephine Brown. was de- nied.
 In hearing lasting but a few minutes, held in the executive cham Der at the capitol yesterday. the gov ernor gently but firmly denied the plea 10 save Mrs. Snyder from exc cution for the murder of her hus- band. He held forth one hope, how ever. that of presenting the plea at the expected joint hearing for Mrs. Snyder and Henry Judd Gray. who also was convicted Of killing the art editor.
 Mrs. Brown began to weep as the governor approached, and his first few words, kindly spoken. apparent ly unnerred her still more.
 "Clemancy, governor, clemency." she begged and these words. reitcr- ated, constituted the greater part of her incohcront and sohhing appeal.
 The governor has announced that he will hear the joint appeal some time during the week of December 26. but has received no application from counsel for either of the con- 10 hear individual appeals by rela- tlves Of condemned persons.

 Good selling is so important to- day that an ordinary product that is well mcrchandized has q better chance Of success than a better pro- duct that is not properly sold. This is q fact that is hard for us in New England to accept in the face of all our traditions about quality.
 That it is true does not mean that we New Englanders should cease 10 produce quality products; quite the contrary. It does mean. however, that our quality products, whether potatoes or poultry, tooth brushes or textiles. must be backed up by equally good merchandising efforts.

Robbers broke into the Pine City
creamery Friday night and secured
$4,000 in. cash from the creamery
safe. A sledge hammer was used to
break the lock on the safe, the rob-
bers finishing up their work with a
punch and hammer. Entrance was
made to the building through the re-
frigerator room and from the tracks
made in the snow nearby it was evil
dent that there were two men. An
attempt was also made the same night
to rob the Standard Oil station, and
although entrance was made, no
money was secured as the station at

every cent in the cash register, late
Friday afternoon.

PHYSICIAN LOOKS UP
THE sASKOV FIELD

Since the death of Dr. P. N. Fenger
at Askov last November this COM
munity has been in search of another
physician to take up his practice.
DIR. o. H. Wolner of Eveleth, was here
Monday and looked over the COM
munity with the prospects of locating.
He interviewed a number of people
the same evening, but did not state
anything definite. DR.. Wolner has
been at Eveleth for 13 years.
The question of securing a physi-
clan was taken up at a meeting of
the local congregation some time ago
and publicity was given the matter
in the Danish newspapers, Dame
virke" at Cedar Falls, Iowa, and
Den Danske Pioneer, at Omaha,
Nebraska. A response came from DR..
N. M. Hansen, a young physician who
is presently at the Iowa Lutheran
hospital in Des Moines, and also from
DR.. H. Barnes, young surgeon at
Detroit, Mich. Both are we'll recon-
mended. The latter is more interest
ed in locating where there is a hos
pital and for that reason may not
come here. He has recommended two
other doctors in the state of Mich
igan.
There was also a desire to have
DIR. Ejvind P. Fenger locate here and
take up the practice of his late father
and a petition with a number of sign
ers was sent to him, but he declined
with thanks for the invitation stating
that my physical condition will pre-
vent me from taking an arduous prac-
tice." He is presently at the Glen
Lake Sanatorium near Minneapolis.

Washington, March 16.-Though
Congress is away for several months,
affairs are shaping themselves to
keep public attention centered on Of
fetal Washington The Supreme
Court decision of last week regarding
Texas laws has revived the, old con-
troversy of sectionalism and racial
discrimination; the Congressional
junketeers are straining every point
of law in an effort to find authorize
ton for investigating trips; the va
cation place of the President; the ac-
tivities of so-called Presidential can
didates and the relations of the De-
partment of State to the legislative
branch of the government all contri-
butte to the ever-increasing fund of po-
litical gossip and rumor
Perhaps the most serious subject
deals with the problem of racial vot-
ing in certain Southern states. 1t is
matter that has been discussed SUI
perfcially for years but there the de-
bate stopped as a. stick of political
dynamite was always carried on the
tail of the issue. The ruling of the
highest tribunal of the land has
brought the issue to head and po-
litical leaders admit it is almost i'm
possible to sidetrack definite stand.
1t may be- brought into the platforms
of the two major parties during the
Presidential year.
Some observers profess to note a
link between the Fourteenth Amend
ment and the more recent Eighteenth
Amendment. In other words, GER
tain groups claimed that the South
was responsible for the adoption of
the prohibition laws against the pro-
test of the North and deliberately
overlooked the other amendment, deal
ing with Acknowledgement of colored
voters in their own bailiwick. The
Southern States have answered this
charge in plausible manner but the
issue still crops up. 1t is a deplor-
able situation and worthy of serious
thought by all parties.
The talk is current that Senator
Borah's attempt to visit Central
America, particularly Nicaragua is
for the qualification of vanity and the
exploitation of his Presidential BOOM
In political circles here they contend
that it would be an imposing spectacle
to have Borah, the Chairman of the
Senate Foreign Relations Committee,
entertained royalty by the neighbor-
ing governments and "hold court" or
hearings on board a warship or trans
port. Those close to the Administra-
ton feel that this junket would make
the nation appear ridiculous in world
affairs when a special group of the
Legislative body would attempt to take
unto themselves duties which are OBJ
viously delegated to the admins

HIGHWAY BUILDINGS
TO AID SNOW FIGHT
Four Shops to be Erected This
Spring, State Department An
nounces, to Promote Efficiency.

As a means of keeping the main
tenance crews and equipment better
prepared for keeping the Minnesota
trunk highways open in winter, the
State Highway department expects to
complete a program of erecting state
owned shop and office buildings in
each of the sixteen maintenance dis
tricts within the next two years, ac-
cording to Commissioner C. M. Bah
cock.
Plans for new buildings at Crook
ston, Duluth, Morris and Willmar
will be opened at the State Depart
ment of Administration and Finance
March 20, at 10 A. M. Buildings were
erected last year at Bemidji, Brainerd,
Detroit Lakes and Rochester. Pre-
vious to that, building had been
erected at Hopkins. This leaves seven
districts, which according to the pro-
gram, will get buildings not later
than 1928.
Keeping the roads open in winter,
which was undertaken for the entire
system two years ago, makes it nee
essary to have convenient place
where plows, trucks and tractors can
be repaired quickly and kept in read
mess for quick action after storm.
Besides promoting efficiency, owner
ship of the district shops has also
been found economical.
The four buildings upon which bids
will be asked this month, will all
follow the standard plan used in the
buildings erected last year. They
will be 60 by 1870 feet, of solid brick
walls, one story high with heating
plant and fuel room in the basement.
The district superintendent and his
clerical force will have office room
the front of each building. Besides
a large storage room and repair shop.
each building will have a paint shop,
machine shop, stock room and oil
storage room. The estimated cost,
including heating and plumbing, cleo
trieity equipment and machinery, is
about $31, 900 each.
Plans will be received on each
building separately, to encourage
bidding by local contractors. Plans
and specifications are on file at the
central office of the Highway depart
ment, 1916 University avenue, st
Paul, at the offices of the department
of administration and finance, State
Capitol, and at the offices of the dis
trict superintendent in the four
cities named. The building at
Crookston is to be completed July !,
those at Norris and Willmar August
1, and the one at Duluth September
1St.

trative branch of the government.
With this prospect in mind, the ma
jority of the Senate Foreign Rela-
lions committee rejected the proposal
of Chairman Borah a few days ago.
Meanwhile Borah is searching the
book of precedents to find loop-hole
which will allow vacation accom-
panied by all the glamour and hon.
age that could be rendered high
and mighty potentate.
Senator Jim Reed of, Missouri, de-
feated by filibuster in the dying
days of the last Congress, hopes to
continue his inquiry into election
frauds. The Senate has refused to
authorize money for the maintenance.
Few are willing to pay their own
expenses even "in the public interest y
The selection of a summer home
for the President of the United States
is not without political significance.
1t is now believed that Mr. Coolidge
will settle down in some Mid-Western
community for the summer months.
IL he really intends to run in 1928
his summer vacation will do much to
pave the way toward better under
standing with the rural folks and the
business interests of the West. Party
scouts report considerable dissatisfac-
ton as a result of the Presidential
veto of the McNary-Haugen bill and
the failure of farm relief legislation.
1t is said that the neighborly contacts
which the President would make dur
ing his stay west of the Mississippi
would restore confidence in the man
and his work 1t is assumed that he
would find it convenient to make
short trips through neighboring states
and probably make few speeches.
The personal contacts are of the high
est Importance to politics.
The President is walking more
these days. He finds it helpful to
hike from his temporary home direct
down Connecticut Avenue to the ex-
ecltive offices. The offices are re-
meSed from the White House so that
the gangs of repairmen at work ON re-
modelling and reinforcement of the
roof do not interfere with the work
of the president and his aides. Mrs
Coolidge is having delightful time
getting acquainted with her new
home, one of the beautiful mansions
of Washington. She is not too busy,
however, to overlook her daily walks
through the parks and the shopping
districts of the city. She is UNI
doubtedly one of the most affable
women in public life for there is not
bit of snobbishness about her.
Something that cannot be said for
the new rich or the old cave-dwellers,
as residential social set is known.
The popularity of the First Lady of
the Land is deserved

South ST.. Paul, Mimi, March Is,
1927. There was considerable weak
ness to the fed steer and yearling
trade today, while other classes ruled
about steady with the exception of
vealers, these declining around soc
considering the improved quality. The
local hog market was on about the
same basis as was the fat cattle trade,
while sheep were around steady.
Best loads of steers were salable
around $10.25, with others of light
and medium weights at $40 to $3.50.
Less desirable material sold at 5000
to 1925, while some rather plain
kinds sold at $3.50 and up. She stock
was not much changed, bulk prices
of $3.50 to $3.50 taking in most Of
ferings, while all cutters sold at $500
to $500. Bulls cashed at $3.50 to
$500 mostly, some up to $6.25, some
down to $5.25. Feeders and stockers
were slow and about steady at $6.75
to $7.75. Vealers sold to packers at
$11.50 to $1,000 and up to $3.50 to
outsiders.
Hogs averaging under 200 pounds
sold at $11.50 to SLIGO with heavier
butchers at $11.00 to SLIPS. Bulk
of the desirable pigs cashed at $12.75
or about steady.
A few wooded lambs sold at $1425,
with some clipped lambs at $12.S5,
with sort off at $1,000. Sheep were
very scarce and about steady with
best ewes salable around $8.75.
