HINCKLEY HIGH TEAM
LOSSES TO MOOSE LAKE

Playing on it's own floor against
the rangy, smooth working basketball
team of Moose Lake, the Hinckley
high school team came from the con-
test with it's first defeat of the season
Friday night, by score of % to II.
Playing raggedly in the first half, the
Hinckley boys allowed the visitors to
pile up an Is to Z lead, but never
theless came back strong in the second
half and outpointed the Lakers 10 to
4. Although the second half's squirt
was not enough to overcome the lead,
the home boys gave the crowd the
thrill that always accompanies a
comeback.
Bobbie Stanchfield played his usual
aggressive game and was ably sup
ported by Paschal Clark at guard.
The Hinckley team will play the
fast Mora team on their floor Friday
and the following Tuesday will meet
the Finlayson team on the Hinckley
floor

ST. Paul, January 1.-THE forty

and w. |. Norton of Minneapolis as
the power behind the throne-just as
two years ago and also four years
ago.
Peace and quiet reigned in the
house on the opening day, but i'm the
senate storm broke which ragged
fer three hours. That was because
some of the drys put their heads to-
gether and decided to make an effort
to eXpel A. l.. Lennon, the senator
from the 2Sth district, Minneapolis.
As some of you may remember, Mr..
Lennon, as trustee of the Eagles
lodge in st. Anthony, was found
guilty in the United States District
Court of violating the 18th amend
ment, but was nevertheless reelected
senator by a large majority. When
the legislature of 1927 convened, Sen
ator Victor Lawson of Willmar intro
duced a resolution to eXpel Mr.. Len

senate on the ground that the SEN

which might reverse the decision of

verdict of the trial court and the SEN
ator from the 2Sth district was COM

NEWS AMONG SCANDINAVIANS.

The Swedish Count Folke Berna-
dotte, a close relative of the king of
Sweden, is mentioned as a likely can
didate for the throne of the possibly
united Baltic republics of Latvia,
Esthonia and Lithuania. 1t was this
count who recently married the
daughter of an American asbestos
manufacturer, and if plans now under
discussion materialiZe she may be
destined to become European queen.
Probabilities that the three Baltic
states will merge into one kingdom
are, however, somewhat slim, but a
movement is on foot to bring this
union about, just the same.
Orders Concrete Ship.

alton of New York has asked the
shipyards at Aalborg, Denmark, to
prepare plans and specifications for
the construction of a motor tank YES

The ship will be the first of the spe-

purpose, and will be so constructed as
to permit the carrying of concrete in

district, will, it is expected, be made
about July 1st.
This information was received by
S. V. Saxby of the Duluth Chamber
turned from Washington where he

ficials.
Delay Laid to REIMBURSEMENT.
Decision is also pending as to the
readjustment of the eastern forest dis
tricts, Mr.. SaXby was told, with the
possibility that more territory may be
added to this new area. Until the
final boundaries are decided, the per-
manent site for headquarters will be
held up.
Duluth and Madison are the leading
cities under consideration for perma-
nent headquarters. Duluth being in
the center of the new forest district
and Madison having all the facili-

university laboratories available, are
the leading factors, which make these
cities the two most desirable, Mr..

CIVIC UNIT OPPOSES
UGLY STRUCTURES
Connecticut Avenue Body Com
plains Of Unsightly Buildings
North Of Bridge.

Complaint against unsightly strlc-
lures directly north of the Connecti-
cut Avenue Bridge was registered at
meeting OF the Connecticut Avenue
Citizens Association in All Souls
Church last night. One structure called
Objectionable, the removal of which
viii be asked of the real estate Arm
owning 1t, is a. toolshed on the east
side of Connecticut avenue north of
Newark street on an inactive stone
quarry: The other building referred
to Is residence. This building, 1T was
said, creates an unfavorable impress
sion because Of its dilapidated condi-
ton.
The associations request for the es-
Enlistment of one-way streets on
Woodley place and Twenty-seventh
street has been denied, but it was re-
ported that some measure of relief had
been afforded through the placing of a
parking ban on the east side OF Wood
ley place, which is but wide enough
for one lane of traffic when cars are
parked on both sides. The condition
Of Twenty-seventh street is still un-
settled, 1t was said, and efforts will
be made to have this thoroughfare
made made one-way because of 1t being
\ part OF bus route.
There was an informal talk on ma
donal representation for the District
by the members, the sentiment being
about evenly divided. Owing to the
small attendance no action was taken.
