Burg Co. Safe Found
Under River Bridge
Combination Knocked off With
Hammer-Chief of Police Has
No. Clues

The safe stolen from the Burg
department store, of this city two
weeks ago was found Sunday af-
ternoon under the bridge across
Sank river, one mile east of the
city.
Peter Thometz was hunting for
plums in that locality Sunday af-
ternoon and discovered the safe
sticking out of the river about five
feet from shore with the wheels
pointing skywari.
He Immediately notified Chief
of Police Joseph Miller who made
the investigation. When the safe
was removed from the water it
was found that it had been rifled.
Entrance was gained by pounding
off the combination. The demol-
ished face plate was found near
the waters edge.
Chief Miller took a rake and
finally tished up one of the draw
ers of the safe from about the
center of the stream in three feet
of water and mud.
The robbers overlooked small
bet as there was a dollar and a
few cents in one of the safes
pigeon holes.
Chief Miller stated to the Her.
aid Wednesday evening that the
robbers had covered their tracks
well and that he did not have any
clue as to who they were.

Egg Production Heavier Than Year
Ago-Active Demand for
Poultry

There has been little change in
the general butter situation from
the standpoint of production ano
marketing. The volume of butte:
being produced and shipped to
eastern consuming markets at this
time is slightly lighter than a year
ago. Conditions throughout the
Central West are irregular as far
as pastures and milk production
are concerned, but generally speak
ing, they are favorable for norm
al production for this season of
the year.

cent since last Monday. New York
go Score Extras are quoted at
ATM cents, showing correspond
ing advance.
Egg production is still running
ahead of year ago, but consider
ing the volume available for con-
suming trade as compared with a
few weeks ago, the supply is light
on fancy quality stock. With the
decreased production, the market
lis gradually advancing. Country
paying prices throughout the Cen
trail West are high and in some
cases have been above parity with
quotations on the Eastern market.
The Chicago egg market today
on Firsts is quoted at 80 to 1914
cents, an advance of one to two

today is quoted 311a to 1914 cents.
Demand for live fowls last week
in Chicago and New York was &C

day being "a to 20 cents, the out

also been active buying of broilers

State Traffic Squad Urged
As Safety Aid by Babcock
Uniformed Officers on Roads Ad.
vocated by Minnesota High
way Commissioner

A state traffic patrol, as a
means of curbing reckless driving
and reducing accidents, will be re-
commended to the next legisla-
ture by C. IN. Babcock, commits
sioner of highways. Bills creating
a traffic patrol have been before
previous sessions but have failed
by small margins.
"a state traffic patrol is the
only way we can get uniform er-
force eh. of the traffic laws" says
NJ Babe ok in a statement to the
Herald. Several counties have
some excellent traffic officers. The
visible pies.lce of uniformed pa
trolmsn OIL the highway has a very
marked effect on reckless drivers.
But it is noticeable that many
who drive carefully on a road
where they know they may meet an
officer, forget their caution when
they cross the line into county
having no officers. Arrests made
by officers hidden Ly the roadside
have little if any more effect than
no enforcement at all.
eff there were just small mum
Der of uniformed tate traffic Of
Ificers, scattered over the state
highways, and not limited by coun-
ty lines, it would have very
marked effect in curling reckless
drivers. Such eorce should be
to prevent accidents and keep traf-
| fl: moving. There should he no
arrests for harmless technical vio-
lations of the traffic law, but Wig
orous action against the compare
lively small number of drivers
who endanger all others using the
highways.
ga traffic patrol should have no
other duties than enforcing the
traffic laws and protecting the
highways. Protection of the high
ways against damage by overload
ing would probably save enough in
highway maintenance to pay the
whole cost of a state patrol.
"Until such patrol can ~be
created, i hope that every driver
and every pedestrian will exer-
else the utmost caution, not only
to obey the law but to protect him
self against the few who are reck.
less. There has been an unusual
number of accidents during the
past month and with the heavy
traffic we are likely to have dur
ling state fair week, it is necessary
that every precaution be taken to
prevent accident.
Newspapers, civic organizations
and public spirited citizens should
give accident prevention serious
attention. / also hope that coun.
ty and municipal officials will
make every possible effort to curb
dangerous driving. Sporadic drives
and wholesale arrests for technical
violations of the traffic law are OF
doubtful value, but no mercy
should he shown the man who vii.
fully endangers the lives of others
, on the highway"

Antarctic Fliers Exhibit.
at Minneapolis State Fair
Plane to Be Used In Coming Ex-
spedition Will Be Used in -
Stunt Work

The airplane in which Capt
George H. Wilkins flew across the
North Pole in April, and which he
has just announced that he will
use in an attempted flight across
the South Pole this winter, bids
fair to be the outstanding attrac-
ton of the Minnesota State Fair
and Northwest Livestock Show
which opens Saturday morning,
September 1.
When Captain wilkins agreed to
visit the State Fair several weeks
ago he was planning on using a
new ship with pontoons for his An
arctic expedition. In the last few
days, however, he has found that
the kind of plane he wants can
not be built in time for this south
ern trip, and he has decided to
use the Lockhead Vega monoplane
which carried him and Lieut.. Carl
B. Eielson safely across the North
Pole. Immediately after the State
Fair Wilkins and Eielson will fly
this plane to New York City,
where it will be equipped with
pontoons and shipped to the An
arctic.
Preparations are being made to
handle more than 100000 persons
at the 69th annual State Fair,
which gets under way Saturday.
Everything isin readiness, and the
management will present the big
gest and best program in it's long
history. 1t will be $25, 900, 600
exposition.
With the biggest livestock, crops
and machinery shows in years, and
with such sterling entertainment
attractions as Giuseppe Creatore
and his band; the phantom driver
less car, driven by radio control
from airplane; mammoth saus-
age balloon; horse and auto races;
evening horse show, open air cir
Gus and gorgeous fireworks show,
the Fair is presenting the best bal
anced program in history.
Announcement of reduced rail
road rates of fare and one-third
by the Western Passenger Assoc
iation, has been followed by the
announcement of excursion rates
this week. ALI railroads have an
nounced special coach excursion
rates to the Fair. The fare on
these special coach excursions will
he l and Ia cent a mile from
points within 200 miles of the
Twin Cities, and one cent mile
from points beyond, with a mini
mum fare of $1.00. Tickets will
be sold any day from September 2
to 6 and are good only in coaches
on regular or special trains. The
return limit is one day from date
OF sale where normal one-way fare
is $500 or less, and two days
from date of sale in the territory
beyond. One-half of the excur-
sion rate will be charged children
of one-half fare age, it was an
nounced.

Early Thursday

Becker County Posses Patrol
Highways and Fields in
Hunt for Fugitives

FraZee, Aug. 23.-E. K. Hend-
erson, 81 year old Frazee town
marshal, was shot and killed early
today when he attempted to arrest
two suspects in connection with a
filling station holdup at Detroit
Lakes, near here.
Henderson was shot three times.
He died Immediately.
Posses from Frazee, Detroit
Lakes and Perham patroled the
highways throughout the night
and searched fields in the vicinity.
Tracks of the men led to a corn
field one and one-half miles south
of town. A pair answering de-
scriptions of the men was seen
about $50 a. m. in pasture but
the farmer, unaware of the shoot
ing, made no attempt to stop them.
Two men appeared at filling
station at Detroit Lakes at $3.50
P. M. and held up the 15-year-old
son of Martin Davis, the prophet
or. While one fiourished revolv-
er, the other emptied the cash till
of $40.
The Davis youth described one
of the men as 6 feet tall and
wearing a gray suit, while the
other was about 5 feet 6 inches in
height, and coatless. The smaller
man, Davis said, wore a yellow
shirt.
Sheriff j. D. Robinson, of De
troit Lakes, was Zotified. He de-
tailed Arnold Knutsen, deputy
sheriff, to search for the men in
the vicinity of Frazee, as the men
headed in that direction. After
giving a description of the men to
]. 2. Ckola, owner, and Frank
Baer, clerk, at confectionery
shop at Frazee, the deputy de-
parted.
A few minutes later the pair
answering the descriptions giveI.
by Knutsen entered the shop. The
clerk notified Ckola who was in the
kitchen at the rear of the shop.
Ckola in turn notified Marshal
Henderson.
Henderson sat alongside the two
in conversation. After few min
utes had passed the marshal told
the men they were under arrest.
Two boys, Alex Hem and Clar-
ence Shafer, who were standing at
the door, of the shop, saw the
smaller man reaching for gun in
his hip pocket.
Shafer yelled to the marshal,
"Look out, Ole (as Henderson was
often called), he's got a gum" AS
Henderson grappled with the taller
man, the smaller one fired. Ckola,
hearing the commotion, came from
the kitchen, but the smaller man,
pointing gun, ordered the pro-
prietor to "get back AS Ckola
slammed the kitchen door and ran
through the rear door to summon
help, two more shots rang out.
Henderson was dead when picked
up.
The men ran out the front
door, turned the corner at the
Baer building and crossed the rail
road tracks. Posses were immed-
lately organized and traced the
tracks of the men to a corn field.
Authorities in all the surround
ing towns were notified and given
descriptions Of the men. Posses
from Otter Tail and Becker coun-
ties are participating in the
search.
Henderson formerly lived at
Window. He is survived by his
widow and five children. No fun
eral arrangements have been made.

Mr.. George Berggreen, Pres.

Dear Sir:
We have received and
thank you for your communi-
cation in regard to the indus
trial situation involving The
Order of Railway Conductors
and The Brotherhood of Rail-
road Trainmen on the one
hand, and certain so-called
Western Railroads on the
other.
For the purpose Of inform
ing the public of the state of
the discussion in question
y from a practical and legal
point of view-our Board
authorized on August II,
1928, the following statement
to be broadcasted by the As
ISOLATED Press and other pub
LEGATIONS:
"There is nothing different
in this case from the usual
orderly proceedings when a
strike vote is taken by a rail-
road employee organization or
organizations acting in ac-
cordance with their establish
ed methods quite familiar to
both parties Immediately in
volved. The railroad labor law
clearly indicates the line of
action to be followed in the
event of any really threatened
strike within the meaning of
the act. There appears to be
no present reason for sup
posing that the provisions of
law will not be adequate to
meet any situation likely to
arise or that the machinery
of the law will not be operat-
ed if necessary to protect the
interest of employees, car
riers, and the public"

WESTERN TRAINMEN
TAKE STRIKE VOTE
Material Wage Increase by
Engineers and Conductors
Refused
10000 MEN AFFECTED
United States Board of Med
iatiOn Has Prevented
Trouble

For several weeks there has
been a strong probability that the
trainmen employed on the West,
ern roads would take mail vote
to consider the proposition of or
dering a strike because the COM
panies affected refused to grant
the full demands made for an in
creased wage scale.
In all 10000 men were to be eff
fected and they included those on
the Great Northern and Northern
Pacific systems.
It was generally understood that
there was strong probability that
the men would vote to walk out.
1t is understood that the trainmen
on the Great Northern and North
ern Pacific were not in sympathy
with the movement. All the roads
operating west out of Chicago were
affected. Those on the $500" line
were said to be the most ardent
strike advocates.
Thursday afternoon of last week
Assistant Superintendent Nidy and
Station Agent Dickinson of the
Great Northern railroad met with
the executive committee of the
Sank Centre Community Club, and
the matter was discussed.
Realizing that a tie-up of traf-
fic at this time would be particular
ly disastrous to the farmers and
business men the following tele-
gram was sent to the United States
Board of Mediation at Washing
ton:
Sank Centre, Mimi,

To Samuel E. Winslow,
Chairman United States
Board of Mediation
Earle Big,
Washington, D. C..
1t has come to the atten-
ton of the Sank Centre COM
munity Club with a member
ship Of It's business men that
there is controversy be-
tween the Western Railroads
and the trainmen over wages "
that while we are not taking
sides we feel that the controv-
ersy should be settled accord =
ing to the Watson-Parker
act.

mission, Mr.. Perry. held that the Mexi-
can government should therefore pay
for the massacre at Santa Isabel. The
Mexican Judge, Mr. Gonzalez Roa, held
that 1t should not pay. The deciding
opinion was thereupon delivered by the
third Judge, the neutral" Judge, Mr.
Octavio of Brazil.
Mr.. Octavio went to Cuba. There
he wrote an opinion. of which the cli-
max was as follows:
Not Forced to Pay.
Suppose that Mexico--under the
treaty-had indeed assumed the duty
of paying for the Santa Isabel mas
sacre. She had assumed it--under the
treaty--only as a matter of grace
This assumption then, being only of
grace and only of Mexico's free and
this case be enforced against her.
Therefore she did not need to pay"
The outcome thus reached has cer-
tain great ironic charm.
First we tried to get human compen-
sation for the Santa Isabel massacre
by sending Pershing into Mexico to
come back with Villa. He came back
he was ordered back--without him.
Then We tried TO get monetary COM
pensation for the Santa Isabel mas
sacre by invoking international law
Now Mr. Octavio tells us that under
international law the Santa Isabel
massacre-and presumably every other
similarly circumstanced outrage In
Mexico from 1910 to i920--was no in
ternational wrong at all and that no
monetary compensation for 1t Is al
lowable.
This is Our total gain 50 far out of the
Special Claims Commission and our
total redress so far for all the violence
in Mexico from 1910 to 1920.
General Commission.
We may now turn to the General
Claims Commission.
The jurisdiction of this commission
Is genuinely two-sided II covers claims
by Mexicans against us as we'll as
claims by us against Mexico. II
covers all claims-~both ways-except
those confided to the Special Claims
Commission-~since 1868.

gan sitting In 1924. It has received

The lawyers who have argued before
the commission have been men OF very
great ability. The chief United States
lawyers have been. for instance Henry
w. Anderson. j, Reuben Clark and
Clement l.. Bouve. The trouble is
not In them.
: The fundamental trouble is in the
