BOSTON BASE BALL
Jury PROBE PENDS
Bribes Sought for Permission
to Play Sunday Games,
City Group Told.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
BOSTON, January 3.--Grand jury
action was imminent today on charges
that bribes were sought in return for
permission for big league base bail on
Sundays.
Emil Fuchs, president and manager
of the Boston National League base
ball club, testified to the City Finance
Commission that William c. Lynch, city
councillor from South Boston, had told
him he must pay 13 councilmen $4,000
each to, pass the Sunday sports bill.
District Attorney William J. Foley of
Suffolk County announced that as soon
as he had received transcript of the
testimony before the Finance Commits
sion he would present the case to the
grand jury.
State Attorney General Joseph E.
Warner indicated that his office would
investigate the procedure by which the
city council under existing legislation
draws the members of the jury.
Fuchs testified that Lynch had visited
him at his hotel suite where the council
man told him he represented a "bloc"
of l3 members of the city which could
hold up passage OF the Sunday sports
bill.
Fuchs quoted Lynch as saying:
LAS far as prosecution in Suffolk
County goes. it's joke. We draw our
own jurors"
The Sunday sports bill was recently
passed by the council after several de-
lays which prompted Charles F. Adams,
vice president of the Braves, to charge
that an unnamed councilman had
sought bribe to insure early action.
The measure was an enabling act under
the Statewide referendum passed at
the last election.
Joseph P. Walsh, representing Lynch.
attempted unsuccessfully to force an
admission from the base ball magnate
that he (Fuchs) had complained to
Lynch and Daniel Carroll, boxing
magnate, that rumors that Rogers
HornSby was member of the Ku Klux
Klan were hurting the club

LOCALS OVERWHELM
ST. PETER, 33 TO II
StOcktOn's Men Make 1t Eleven
Straight in Defeat of St.
Peter Friday Night

In a much better game than the
score indicated, the Redwood Falls
High School team defeated the fast
St. Peter High School quint by 33
to II count. The game was played
at the Lincoln School gymnasium last
Friday night and drew a capacity
crowd.
One of the interesting features of
the game was the fact that both
teams were making all free throws.
The locals missed only one shot out
of ten attempts, while their oppo-
nents shot seven out of nine trys.
The st. Peter team started with a
whirlwind a t ia * which lasted
through the entire first half, but
found Stockton's men in perfect con-
dition to withstand the fast pace.
Going into the second half tired from
the pace set, the St. Peter team
slowed down and were easy for the
locals from then on.
Peterson again led the scoring,
getting six field goals, more than the
entire St. Peter team gathered. Bra
vinder and Corbett each accounted
for two field goals with Johnson and
Laidlaw each getting one field goal
and two free tosses. Captain Wor-
sech registered three free throws in
as many attempts, while Finn made
two in two trys. Peterson was the
only man to miss free throw, fail
ing in his only chance of the evening
to collect a one point marker.
This win made it eleven straight
for Redwood Falls without defeat
for this season, while all other strong
teams of the district have been beat

The State Legislative
Mills Are Grinding

and its appropriations committee
seem to be in complete harmony with
the governor and the Big Three.
Interesting Election Proposals
Several interesting proposals to
change the election laws are under
consideration. One is by Senator Vic
tor E. Lawson, the Willmar progress
sive, whn.wants to wipe out party
lines in -electing state officers. In his
opinion the drawing of party lines
in choosing township, municipal coun-
ty, legislative, judicial and state Of
ficers is an absurdity and an evil,
making it easier for the plutocrats,
through party leaders and bosses, to
control the government. Fortunately,
says Mr.. Lawson, Minnesota has
wiped out party lines except in the
election of state officers, and his bill
provides that the two candidates for
each office that get the biggest vote
in the primaries shall be nominated
and fight it out in the fall.
Another election bill-by Senator
Maclean, a Minneapolis conservative
seeks to have senators and repre-
senatives elected as Republicans,
Democrats or other partisans, as they
were prior to the session of 1918
Minnesota is the only state with a
non-partisan legislature and those
who believe in building up strong po-
litical parties feel that this unique
experiment in democracy has proved
a mistake.
Both the Lawson and the Maclean
bills have been discussed by the Sen
ate elections committee and both were
reported out without recommendation.
Both will be the subject of warm de-
bates on the floor of the senate and
both, in my opinion, will fail to pass.
A third important election bill is
one by Senator Victor Christgau of
Mower county, congressman-elect,
which provides that the primary elec-
ton shall be held on the third Mon
day in September, so as to shorten
the biennial campaign.
Goodbye, Home Brew!
And now comes Senator Peter
Sharpe of Ada with bill to prohibit
the making of home brew! No per-
son shall manufacture, sell or deliver
any malt extract, whether liquid, con-
densed or solid, and under no circum-
stances must the extract be favored
with hops or any substitute for hops.
The bill would impose penalty OF
$500 and a 80 days Jail sentence for
violations of the proposed law, the
enforcement of which is placed in the
hands of the state authorities.
Rural Credits Bureau Under Fire

the senate to curtail or put an end to
the activities of the State Rural Cred

VLLACES-TOWNS
VOTE ON CO. AGENT
County Board Will Submit Cues
tiOn at Township and Viii
lage Election March IL

1t is the intention of the board of
county commissioners Of Redwood
county to sound out sentiment on the
question of appropriating county
funds to maintain the county agent
work in this county.
With the exception of the city of
Redwood Falls, all municipalities and
townships in the county will hold the
annual election on Tuesday, March IL,
and the commissioners plan to have
ballots supplied upon which vote
can be taken in every precinct of the
county holding an election March II.
There would of course be nothing
legal or binding about it, and the
election boards could ignore it if they
wished, and of course several hundred
voters will have no opportunity to
express themselves, but the county
board feels that it would give them
an opportunity to get line on pub
lie opinion.
For several years the board has
been making an appropriation to as
sist in maintaining county agent.
The federal and state government
supply part of the expense and the
county farm bureau also assists, but
the county appropriation is the "key"
to the proposition which is carried
on on a county wide basis. If the
county board or any of these sources
failed to make a maintenance ap-
preparation the county agent work
would have to be discontinued, as at
present organized on a cooperative
basis, which means that the ques-
tion to be voted on March 18th leads
directly to the question of whether

DELINQUENT TAX
LIST IS SMALLER
Figures go of Total Levy This
Year; Usually Figured
Five Per Cent

Approximately 620 Redwood county
people owed Redwood county total
sum of S34,200, for delinquent real
estate taxes on their 1927 assessments
according to a report compiled by
Clerk of Court W. G. Weldon and
County Auditor L. P. Larson. This
sum figures trifie over 3 per cent
of the total amount levied and is
much smaller than those of last year.
Usually the amount delinquent will
figure more than per cent. AT
present date there are 554 which re-
main unpaid.
The amount of delinquencies vary
in the many townships and villages,
the report shows. Granite Rock
township leads all other townships of
the county without delinquent de-
scription of any kind for any year.
The township of Morgan has only 40
acres delinquent for all years, this
delinquency is covered in one descrip-
tion. Springdale and Vesta are shown
with only one delinquent description
each, while Sherman has two. The
rest vary from three to 19 for Delhi
township.
In the villages, Walnut Grove leads
with 63 delinquencies, Lamberton 60
and down to for the village of Lu-
can. The city Of Redwood Falls has
129. The village of North Redwood is
without a delinquent description.
Amounts due, range from three
items at 38 cents on Redwood Falls
lots to $1,175.S8 on farm in Will
low Lake township.
Under the provision of law
which went into effect last year for
the first time, absolute title to lands
it bids in for delinquent taxes is ac-
quired by the state if not redeemed
by the owner within five years. When
no private individual buys the lands
at the tax sale, it is bid in for the
state. Prior to the passage of the
late law the state held such lands
merely as a security for the lien of
the taxes and never acquired title.
Most of the delinquencies will be
paid in time for the owners to re-
tain title, in the opinion of Auditor
Larson.

SOCIAL SURVEY TO
Be MADE IN COUNTY
Redwood County Picked AS One
of Four in State For
Study by Experts

Redwood county is selected to re-
ceive a social survey at the hands OF
experts from the research depart
ment of the Federal Children's Bu-
reau of Washington, D. c. Miss Ruth
Bloodgood and Miss Viola Jones, re-
representatives. from that Bureau are
in the county studying the existing
child problems and the organization
set up both by the county and the
state for handling such problems.
At the invitation of the State
Board of Control the Federal Chill
dren's Bureau has sent these workers
to Minnesota to analyze our methods
for the care and protection OF chill
dren, and to estimate the effective
ness of these methods over the ten
year period since the State Children's
Bureau has been in existence. For
this purpose four counties were Sc
Iected, Winona, Douglas, Polk and
Redwood. These counties are repre-
sentative of the best type OF work
carried out in various sections OF the
state.
Minnesota is justly proud of her
Children's Code, and Redwood county
should also feel pride in being rec
ognized for the work that is spon-
sored in that direction. When the
study in Minnesota is completed and
suggestions for improvements are
made no doubt this county will con-
tinue in its support of better protec-
tion measures for children.
This is not the first time that Red
wood county has been selected with
a small group of counties for study
and observation of her Child We'll
fare work because of the effectiveness
and thoroughness with which this
movement is carried on in the county.
Since the board was organized
some ten years ago, under the state
board of control, it has had the vol
unteer services from time to time OF
a number of her citizens who had
the experience and qualifications TO
direct the work in a commendable
manner. Some of these citizens have
left the county to engage IN work
along educational and social lines
whose experience was richer for hav-
ing given service to the county on
this board. The Child Welfare board
of the county has also been FORUM
ate in having from time to time most
efficient executive secretaries or So
cial workers. These have all been
trained in social work, and their ac-
complishments here were OF such
high order that most of these work.
ers have been called to larger duties
elsewhere. The present secretary,
Miss Mona Callister, is also dong
splendid work. Morgan Messenger.

Bills Are Being Passed Daily,
but No Big Question Has
Been Settled Yet
By Martin w. Odland.

Special to The Gazette.
St. Paul, Mimi, Feb. 19.-Holding
down a seat in the Minnesota house
of representatives this winter is like
being in paradise, or at least in the
outskirts of it. Let me tell you what
happened St. Valentines day, for in
stance. On that day the Minnesota
Fruit Growers Association distribut-
ed many barrels and baskets of beau
tiful, delicious apples among the law
makers. Then the galleries filled up
with fair women and brave men, who
sat looking down on the members and
the apples with i'll concealed envy;
and, to cap the climax, at three o'clock
in filed the world-famous st. Olaf
college choir and sang some of the
Minnesota. 1t costs the rest of us a
dollar or more to hear the st. Olaf
choir and we have to pay good money
for apples of the finest quality, but
the members of the house didn't have
to pay a cent. Earlier in the session,
one day, they brought in grand
piano and Miss Eunice Norton, the
gifted daughter of Representative
Norton, gave delightful recital; and
on another day the Augsburg college
quartet sang exquisitely.
l must say in this connection, with
regret, that the singing of patriotic
songs and hymns, provided for by re-
solution several weeks ago, hasn't
been marked success. Whether this
is due to lack of vocal skill on the
part of the members or diffidence
brought on by the ridicule of the wick
ed Minneapolis Tribune is not so easy
to say.
The Mills Are Grinding
About third of the session is now
gone and the legislative mills are
grinding out bills every day. So far
none of the big questions have been
settled and they won't be'till near the
end of the session. The most impor-
tant bill now on the senate calendar is
one by the senate finance committee
which makes provision for the states
charitable and penal institutions. The
senate fnanciers allow these institu-
tions more than the Board of Control
asked for, taking the position that the
board didn't dare to ask for enough
out of fear of the closefisted Big
Three and the governor. While it
isn't safe to make predictions about
the legislature, it is probable that the
senate will pass the bill, but that the
house appropriations committee, with
the backing of the house, will fight
for a smaller allowance, as the house
