Break in Family
MRS. ED LIEBEL PASSES
Funeral from st. Paufs Sat
urday Morning-Burial at
Albany
Oliver S. Cass
(Rv DIR. J. A. DuBois)

10y DT. y. "A. DuooioI
The sudden death of Oliver S.
Cass, although not unexpected, car
ried with it the inevitable shock
such events bring.
Mr.. Cass was the son of David
Cass and Mary Fleming Cass and
was born near Ottowa, Canada,
August Bird, 1856. He was only
four years of age when the death
of his father threw the burden OF
support and rearing of the family
of four children upon the mother.
In 1870 she moved with them to the
State of Wisconsin where they
grew to maturity.
Oliver S. Cass was united in mar
riage to Alice Gary November oath,
1881, and entered into the business
of farming to which his energies
were devoted until the end of his
life. He came to Sank Centre in
1895 and purchased the Geo. Davis
farm just south of our City limits
Thus for thirty-four years his
home has been with us.
His departure is the first break
in the family circle, for surviving
him are his wife, and six children
whose names and addresses are:
Gary D. Cass, Elmhurst, ILL.,; Mrs.
Geo. Murray, Faribault, Mimi;
Mrs. Geo. Fisher, Eagle Bend,
Mimi; Miss Alice Cass, Sank Cen
tire; Elbridge Cass, Sank Centre;
Oliver Cass, Oklahoma City Okla
These were all present at the funer-
al services. There are six grand
children. OF his mothers family
there remain his two sisters, Mrs,
Mary Elliott, Sank Centre, Mimi,
and Mrs. Florence Tweed, of Car
negie, Penn.
Mr.. Cass was one of our pro-
gressive farmers. Within the per-
iod of his own life he had witness
ed what was virtually revolution
in agricultural methods; and in
which comparatively short period a
greater advancement had been
made than in all the previous his
tory of the globe. He became inn
bued with this spirit of progress,

MANY WOMEN SEEK
WORK in FACTORY
Representative of Proposed
Overall Factory Found 40
Letters Awaiting Him
OTHER TOWNS BIDDING
Minneapolis Man Furnishing
Money Said to be Interested
in Sank Centre

The fact that the Sank Centre
Herald is generally read by the
masses has been clearly demon
strated by the story in last weeks
issue in which it was stated that
there was the possibility that an
overall factory might be established
in this city.
The Herald stated that the abil-
ity to secure female help would de-
eide very largely whether or not
the factory would be established in
this city. The request was made
to have the letters addressed to
H. S. Zaikaner
Palmer House
Sank Centre, MINI.
When the gentleman arrived in
this city late Tuesday evening he
found 140 letters from women de-
string work. They came from as
far away as Eau Claire, Wis. The
gentleman stated to the Herald ed
itor that besides the letters he re-
ceived at the Palmer House over
100 had reached him at the Mime
apolis office.
Besides the letters from women
desiring work there were letters
from Civic organizations asking
the gentleman to investigate their
towns.
Mr.. Zaikaner stated to the Her.
aid editor that the Minneapolis
man who would furnish the money
to establish the plant was particu-
larly favorably impressed with this
city.
Within week or ten days man
and lady will visit Sank Centre and
interview the applicants. If they
find the applicants were apt to
be reasonably permanent employees
Mr.. Zaikaner said he did not see
why the factory should not be in
operation by early fall.
The directors of the Community
Club have not reached the stage
where they are overly enthusiastic
over the prospects. They will give
the gentleman every cooperation,
of course. Up to the present time
no definite proposition has been
made them.

High Tribunal of State
Bans Artificial Passes
Supreme Court Upholds District
Court in Pope County Case Ban
ming Artificial Duck Passes

Ducks and waterfowl may not be
taken from blinds erected on
points" or artificial entertainments
extended into public waters is the
dictum of the Minnesota Supreme
Court. in sustaining Judge F1aherty
in the conviction of William Figge
at the November term of court last
fall
For many years wealthy sports
men have been buying points and
duck passes at fantastic prices on
the best duck feeding lakes. BY
hauling in stone and earth on the
ice in the winter time these points
or passes have been extended clear
out into the lake and with the de
creasing supply in the game these
points have beeome about the only
really good shooting places. ALI this
has been in violation of the law,
says the supreme court. Although
the state may not have the right
to deprive riparian owner of
his right to extend his land into
the lake the state can say when
and where ducks shall be shot. And
when the statute says they may
not be shot from a permanent arti-
fetal blind in. the open water it
may not be evaded by building out
artificial entertainments into the
open water, and putting the blind
on this artificial land.
The game and fish commission
decided to make test case of this
practice and chose Pope county for
the test. VIM. Figge, q wealthy st.
Paul sportsman who with a number
of other sportsmen from the cities,
was erecting another artificial
point on Lake Emily which is one
of the finest feeding lakes in the
county, consented to be arrested
for try-out Of the proposition. He
was arrested by Frank Hill, Pope
county's genial game warden, and
brought before Frank E. Reed, JUS
tice of the peace, and speedily con-
victed. The case was appealed to
district court, where under Judge
Flaherty's instructions he was
again convicted and the case was
then appealed to the supreme court.
e. r. Selnes, county attorney, as
sisted by the attorney generals Of
fee carried the case through for
the game and fish commission.

Crime Board Head Accuses
Citizens Of Winking at Law
Wickersham Declares People Open
ly Disregard Statutes Official
Inquiry to Get Under Way

New Haven, Conn, June Geo
w. Wickersham,l j former attorney
general and. president of the COM
mittee appointed by President
Hoover to investigate national law
enforcement conditions, accused
citizens who have most at stake in
preserving law and order with
preaching and practising open dis
regard to law. He said one of the
matters which the committee of
which he is chairman expects. to
investigate, is the amount private
interests are now compelled to pay
for police protection, in addition to
governmental protection, and the
number of men necessary for work
outside of governmental protection.
He declared the authority Of the
church has been weakened as q re-
straining influence upon the law
less and that young men entering
the ministry must face changed ma
tional conditions.
Mr.. Wickersham was the chief
speaker at the seventy-fifth anni-
versary exercises of the Berkeley
Divinity School.
THE peculiar characteristics OF
the present conditions arise out of
the fact that that part Of the COM
munity which has most at stake in
the preservation of law and orsler.
themselves are preaching and prac-
Using an open disregard for certain
laws to which they object, appar-
emily without any concern for the
effect upon the maintenance of
the law in general especially upon
the laws designed for the protec-
ton of life and property-the fun
damentals upon which rest the
continuance of civilized society,""
he said. Even this duty to guard
the foundations no longer is well
performed. I confess, cannot see
pass by in our city streets one of
the armored cars which have be-
come such familiar sight without
a sense Of humiliation that 1t has
come to pass that money and Sc
curities can be transported only in
such vehicles, guarded by men with
rifles and pistols in hand ready for
use.
"One of the matters which the
national commission on law obser-
vance and enforcement probably
Will investigate is the amount
which private interests pay for
police protection, in addition to
that furnished by governments, 10
CAL state and national and the
number of men employed in that
extra governmental work."

H. F. Sinclair, Oil Magnet
Must Serve Full Sentence
Supreme Court of u. S. UphOlds
Sentences in Connection with
Oil Frauds

Washington, June 3.-The sent
ences imposed upon Harry F. Sim
clair, Henry Mason Day, and w.
Sherman Burns for having the
Fall-Sinclair Teapot Dome jury
Swallowed, were upheld today by
the supreme court, but the Is days
sentence on William J. Burns was
disapproyed.
While Sinclair and Albert B.
Fall, former secretary of the in
terror, were facing trial on charges
of conspiracy in connection with
the leasing of the Wyoming oil
field to the oil operator, the case
was suddenly terminated and the
jury was discharged.
Sinclair subsequently was SEN
fenced to six months in Jail for
contempt; Henry Mason Day, one
of his associates, received a SEN
Burns was ordered to serve Is days
and w. Sherman Burns, his son
was fined $1,000.
1t was charged that Burns detec-
tives had improperly scrutinized
the jurors who were considering
the case.
Sinclair is now serving three
months sentence in the District of
Columbia Jail for contempt of the
| Senate. He refused to answer ques-
lions before the Senate oil COM
mittee in connection with the oil
investigation.
In the case decided today, the
government charged that Sinclair,
thru Day, had employed the Burns
detectives to shadow the jury. Sin
clair contended the government
had failed to produce evidence
showing that the shadowing had
obstructed the trial and all defend
ants Joined in an appeal.
The court of appeals Of the Dis
trict of Columbia called on the
supreme court for instructions on
points of law and Owen ]. Roberts,
government counsel, asked the
highest court to have .the whole
controversy sent to it. Such an
order was issued, and the supreme
court today disposed of the whole
controversy, instead of merely an
swering the questions and sending
the case back for action by the
court of appeals.
Similar action was taken by the
supreme court when the circuit
court of appeals asked it for in
structions in the case against Sim
clair for refusal to answer ques-
tions before the Senate committee.
The government, in the jury shad-
owing case, insisted that as the
shadowing had required a new trial
| it constituted contempt.
Justice McReynolds delivered the
opinion of the court which was
unanimous except that Justice
Stone, who was attorney general
during some of the oil lease litiga-
ton, took no part.
Pointing out that the defense
commended that the evidence failed
to show the detectives had estab-
lished contact with any of the jur-
ors, the opinion said 1--WE cannot ac-
cept this view"
ut would destroy the power Of
courts adequately to protect them
selves-to enforce their rights Of
self-preservation," it continued.
Suppose, for example, some liti.
CANT should endeavor to shoot a
juror while sitting in the box dur
ing progress of the case. He might
escape punishment for contempt if
some quick-witted attendant quiet
'ly thwarted the effort and kept the
circumstances secret until the trial
ended"

COULD NOT LOCATE
ROSENBERCER GUN
Mr.. Garrison Failed to See
Pistol Found Beside Body
of Policeman
MYSTERY IS UNSOLVED
Sank Centre Citizens Who
Hoped that Test Could Be
Made Disappointed

Herald readers will recall that
George H. Garrison, fire arms ex-
pert who furnished expert testi-
mony in the famous Hall-Mills
murder case, New Jersey, last year,
visited Sank Centre short time
ago in the interest of Remington
Arms Company. While in the city
the Rosenberger death was dis
.cussed with the gentleman by sew
eral Sank Centre citizens who were
Interested in seeing the case def1nit-
ely cleared up.
Mr.. Garrison was taken to the
place where Mr.. Rosenberger's
body was found and he went over
the ground very carefully.
There isn't any question but what
he knows fire arms; he has the
ability and experience to tell
whether a certain bullet came from
a specified pistol or other gun.
The automatic pistol beside the
body of Mr.. Rosenberger and the
bullet found about 20 feet away
were taken to st. Cloud by the
County Attorney and Coroner.
1t is generally known that
goodly number of citizens of Sank
Centre are not satisfied with the
very casual coroner's inquest con-
Quoted. While the verdict of acct
dental death rendered by the cor
oner's jury was in line with the ev-
idence introduced at the hearing,
this verdict does not harmonic
with some of the facts alleged to
have been brought out at the post
norton the day before.
When Mr.. Garrison reached st.
Cloud it was impossible for him to
get the pistol and bullet to make
his tests. This is too bad for his
decision would have definitely sett-
led the case in the minds of many
citizens. His letter to the Herald
telling his experience in st. Cloud
follows:
On the Road, June 2, 1929
Herald, Sank Centre:
Regret to find it necessary to
advise you, was unable to see
the exhibit of bullet and Colts
Auto pistol, in the Rosenberger
case
Met Mr.. Brooks Ronald, the
newspaper man on Wednesday
and learned that the articles
had been left with the Coron-
er's clerk or that they were not
disposed of by any officers and
the clerk finding them left
'around" had taken care of
them.
Mr.. Ronald expected, so he
advised me, to obtain them for
the necessary examination and -
made an appointment to meet
me Friday at $3.50 and then by
phone, during Friday morning
the writer assembled articles
desired to make tests neces- 9
sary to obtain the facts as to
the bullet coming from that
particular arm and to make adj
ditional demonstration as
seemed advisable, suggested by
circumstances in connection
with the case and waited all
day Friday, but no one called
as per arrangements. It seems :
to me that articles should be-
5 carefully stored in ease of
fnture requirements. Was
anxious to lend any assistance
possible to clear up the matter
in the minds Of your people
for the reason of the very fine
treatment accorded me while
visiting in your city.
Yours truly,
Geo. H. Garrison,

Need of Open Mind
Seen in Dry Inquiry
From the Chicago Daily News.

From the Chicago Daily News.
Replying to a communication from a
national association which is fighting
the eighteenth amendment to the Fed
eral Constitution, President Hoover,
through one Of his private secretaries,
makes it known that opportunity will
be given for the presentation of any
facts which bear upon the enforcement
OF the eighteenth amendment or any
other of our laws" without such an
opportunity 1t is plain the projected
methods and law enforcement generally
would be not only incomplete but futile
and even nischievous.,
But the phraseology OF the White
House epistle Is not as clear as it might
be. Further light on the issue raised
by the organized anti-prohibition forces
Is desirable
Those forces make 1t known that they
seek an opportunity to prove to the
commission that the obstacles In the
way Of the Volstead law and the eight
zenith amendment are internal-to be
found in the inherent and incurable
unenforceableness of the prohibition
amendment as 1t now stands. Any evi-
dence that tends to support that radical
view Is relevant to the projected inves-
t1SdOlULl, UCCduoC IlOb OIlly Lie ABUSES
under prohibition are to be looked into,
but the causes Of those abuses as well.
There Is, of course, no mere fruitful
source Of abuse under any law than
the inherent unreasonableness, I'M
soundness and unenforceableness of
that law
Mr.. Hoover. 1t is understood, Is en-
countering difficulty in selecting the
members OF the commission. It Is es-
sential that they be open-minded able,
judicious and independent. 1t is not
easy to find such men and to induce
them to take up the task. Still, such
men can and should be found, for
prejudice and closed minds would be
woefuly out Of place. in the commits
sions deliberations When found, the
members should receive instructions re-
quiring them to entertain and weigh
every fact, argument and consideration
bearing on any phase of the prohibition
issue.

Fire Waste Prevention
Prize Won by Detroit

From the Baltimore Sun.
The United States Chamber of Com
rrerce offers an annual prize for the
best showing in prevention of fire
waste In cities of the United States.
Municipalities are graded according to
population, prizes being given to win
ners in several classes and grand
prize to the city making the best rec
ord without regard to size. Detroit
captured the honor among cities over
100000 and also the grand prize.
While the number of fires increased
10 per cent In the country there was
substantial reduction in per capita
loss, the figure being $235 in 1923, as
compared with $2.70 in 1927, with
s307 in 1926 and with $3.77 in 1925.
This shows steady improvement in low
ering the amount of property destruc-
ton by fire. Where much work is yet
to be done is shown in the statement
that of fires reported est per cent
occurred in dwellings. Tabulation and
analysis of these statistics are helpful
to every city in fighting fire waste. We
are too much accustomed to look upon
fires as an unavoidable visitation,
though the fact Is repeatedly ernpf1a-
sized that negligence Of one or another
kind is responsible for an enormous
percentage of them.
Faulty building, neglect of fues, fur
naces and electric wiring, dirt and
refuse. carelessness with matches and
cigarette stubs are accountable for by
far the largest proportion of the mil
liens Of dollars that go UP i'll smoke.
The evil deserves much mere attention
than it receives.
