Counsel fer Trenor \. Rice, against whom the state last Friday entered . nolle of the charge of murder in the first degree, have, as they suggested before Judge Marvin of the superior court. issued a statement Go refute the statement made by States Attorney Howard C. Bradford in which he em- phasized tAe fact that his action was due to the loss of the testimony of two important witnesses. who have died, rather thap from being convinced ot the defendants innocence. The at torneys for the defendant. William A. King, Samuel E. Harvey and John Harvey. refer to the statement of the states attorney as that remarkable statement. They emphasize the fact that had the case gone to trial they would have proved conclusively that Mir. Rice was not at the Jackson home during the day of the murder until he was summoned there hv neighhnr, Mir. paufhss. They allude Co Mrs. Jacksons suicide notes, in which she exonerated Rice as conclusive.
 The statement of the attorneys fol- lows;
 Attorney statement
 "As attorneys for Trenor 4. Rice we deem it proper to make the following statement relative Co tho Jackson murder. especially in view of the facts of the publication uf the re- markable statement made by the states attorney accompanying the nolle of the case.
 We can prove e0nclusiNely that Mir. Rice during the entire afternoon of the day of the murder and up 10 th, time he started for the Jackson house in response to the summons delivered hv Mir. Paulhug, was nt his home On Brown avenue.
 "The written Statements left bl Mrs. Jackson. prepared tn contempih tion of near death, are conclusive; ni method of reasoning can avoid thi certainty. The state's attorney say in his statement that Mrs. Jackson confesso ons are untrue. Well, pefhap he would tell us why he refused t give them to the party to whom the. were addressed; why he held on q them until they were dragged out O him by court order. If they war untrue. as he now claims, there was n danger to the state from them. Ha Mrs. Jackson's death occurred befor the arrest of Rice, no person woui ever have been taken into custody bt cause of that crime

ing Minnesota to the world both as a

tourist traffic for IL years and the
fact that the number of tourists visit
ing the state has increased from II 900
in 1917 to more than 100000 in 1923
should be sufficient proof that it has
delivered the goods" in that line.
The tourist business now brings more
than $90,000,000 in new money to
Minnesota annually.
The association is now devoting
half of it's efforts to agriculture with
the hope that new farmers will be
brought in. The success of this plan
has already been assured by the hun
dreds of inquiries concerning Mime
sofa farms pouring into the office in

response to agricultural advertising.
The same efforts as in the past will
continue to be devoted to bringing
tourists.
The returns from the 1929 campaign
are so great that an unusually large
office force is needed to answer let
tiers and send out literature. Postage
alone costs more than $500 a week.
The association needs money now to
conduct the follow up work incidental
to both the agricultural and recrea-
tional advertising efforts.
Citizens of Minnesota and this .coun-
ty will not allow the splendid develop
ment work of the Ten Thousand
Lakes-Greater Minnesota association
to suffer for need of funds. 1t is hoped
that all will do their part in helping
put this great movement across and
folks are asked to fill out the at
tached coupon for whatever amount
they feel they can invest in their
state and send it either to this office
or direct to the headquarters of the
Ten Thousand Lakes-Greater Mime
sofa association.
Minnesota is a great state and we
should all put our shoulders to the
wheel in the work of letting the world
know what we possess.
Persons who send $40 or more are
considered members of the association
and as such are entitled to the lists
giving the names and addresses of
persons inquiring concerning farms,
lakeshore property and resort accom-
modations. Lists will be sent only
when members ask for them.

Within the last week she had

BOOK ROW

Sale OF books prepared by associ-
ates of the Smithsonian Institution
here have brought protests from
several wealthy men In New York
city, it was learned today.
The books are distributed through
the Smithsonian Institution Series,
Inc, and, as a result Of the pro-
tests, the organization has dis
charged three of its statesmen.
Although the books are prepared
by its workers, the Smithsonian
Institution gets only 10 per cent of
the sales price and the remainder
goes to the distributing company.
The wide difference in the distribu-
tation of the profits brought forth
the protests.
Clarence s. Dame, head of the
Wall Street brokerage house which
bears his name, filed the first COM
plant with DIR. Charles G. Abbott,
secretary of the Smithsonian Instl-
tuition.
The financier complained thar
when he bought the books the sales
mann assured him that all pro-
ceeds above necessary cost would go
to- the Smithsonian Institution. He
purchased set 10 help the institu-
ton and then learned the salesman
statements were false, he declared.
DIR. Abbott, it was said, believed
the present contract with the dis
tributing company isl unfair to the
institution and is seeking new
agreement providing a more equal
distribution of profits.
