TRENTON, N. j.. July with wet
planks in both the Republican and
Democratic platforms, RELOCATING prohi-
bition to the background as an issue,
lines were drawn today to fight out the
New Jersey senatorial battle on ratif1-
cation of the London naval treaty.
The treaty was pushed into the fore
ground yesterday when the Democratic
State Convention adopted a resolution
supporting Alexander Simpson, its SEN
atorial candidate, in his opposition to
ratification of the naval pact.
Ambassador Dwight w. Morrow, the
Republican candidate, who was a dele
gate to the Naval Conference, has urged
ratification.
The resolution opposing ratification
qualified Simpsons position by adding
the phrase, UNLESS, confidential CORE

the road signs and frown on any
one who damages them.
Reckless drivers, snow plows
and other accidents also cause
occasional damage to signs, necessi-
tating repair or replacement. New
signs must be put up when new
road is open to traffic. Detours
must be marked. Additional direc-
ton and warning signs are put up
at any place where traffic condi-
tions require. The increase in night
travel has made 1t necessary to use
the more expensive reflector and
blinker signs on some of the more
heavily travelled routes and at i'm
portant junction points. Old signs
must be reprinted.
Putting up, repairing and repaint-
ed signs gives one man full time
job in each of the sixteen mainten-
ance districts. From 1921 to 1929,
inclusive, the department spent
$640, 410 for signs and their upkeep.
But if you stop to think that by
following the highway numbers it
is possible to ask directions, it is
evident that the sign system saves
it's cost many times over. Many car
owner who have used the highways
both before and after the trunk
highway plan was put into effect
say that the marking system alone
is worth all their auto license costs
them.

Grand Army Members Are
Indignant Over Report
Recent Statement They Will Not
Hold Any More Annual En-
campments

Minneapolis, June IA. Sixty in
dignant Civil War veterans fumed
and stormed in Memorial hall at
the courthouse yesterday morning.
The newspapers said this might be
the last encampment which mem
bers of the Minnesota G. A. R.. de-
partment could ever hold and it
wasn't true.
The veterans insisted it wasn't
true, of course, the ranks were
thinning but they weren't all dead
yet. And they wouldn't be for
many years to come, even though
the youngest now is 80.
One of the veterans gave his
personal guarantee that furthr an
nual encampments will be held. S.
E. Mahan, Acker Post No. 81, Du-
luth, promised that when he has
outlived all the others he will hold
a one-man encampment and elect
himself to all the offices.
This brought protests from 9TH
ers and the general argument fin
ally resulted in agreement that all
60 of the delegates are hale and
hearty and will live practically for
ever. It was the first days session
of the annual meeting of the Min
nesota veterans of the Civil War
which will include several pro-
grams and dinners.

Minnesota Road Patrol
Jails 1O6 Drunken Drivers
Misuse of License Brings Arrest to
1O2-Many Others Get Tags and
Warnings

Drunken driving and wirful vio-
lation of the motor vehicle license
law were the cause of most of the
arrests made by the Minnesota
Highway patrol during May, &C
cording to the monthly report
made by Earle Brown, chief patrol
officer, to c. M. Babcock. state
highway commissioner.
The patrolmen arrested 10S per-
sons for driving while drunk and
took 81 of their cars into custody.
Fines imposed for drunken driving
totaled $5,4s1.
Improper licenses lead to 102
arrests and the detention of 1874
cars. In the majority of cases az
rests were due to use of license
plates on a car other than the one
for which they were issued, or 9TH,
er wilful violations. Fines totaleo
$1,523, in addition to the payment
of license fees and penalties under
the motor vehicle act. Tags were
given to 681 who had no plates, 2245
with one plate, 205 with wrong class
of plates, 80 who needed Minnesota
plates and 81 who needed a visitors
permit. Lack of chauffeur's Ii.
censes brought tags to 562.
Illegal equipment brought a

Annual Meeting Of North
Fork Insurance Company
975 Policies Carrying 100000 In
surance Written In 20 Town
ships-Directors Elected

The annual meeting of the
North Fork Insurance Co. was held
at the Club rooms in Brooten Mon
day afternoon, when the years bus
mess was reviewed, and important
matters pertaining to the company's
affairs were taken care of.
At the opening of the session a
financial report was read by the
secretary which indicated a salts
factory years business. The COM
pany, which writes insurance in
twenty townships, carries over $4,-
100000 of insurance on 975 policies.
The policy report shows that the
losses from fires were three times
as large in 1929 as the losses from
Tightening. Tracing the fire origin
it has been found that while kero-
sene-heated chicken breeders and
kerosene water heaters are modern
farm conveniences, they are, on the
other hand, an added hazard to the
insurance business. There are sew
eral losses every year due to kerr
osene breeders and heaters.
The matter of making it possible
for town and village fire depart
ments to fight rural fires within a
reasonable distance from town
without the possibility of risk to
townships as such action is affected
by the compensation law, has been
satisfactorily settled, and it will
hereafter be possible for the village

Foshay Securities Are
Found to Be Worthless
Federal Trade Commission Says
$29,OOO,OOO of Them Are of
No Value

Washington, June 16-Ernest r.
Lucas, Federal Trade commission
accountant, reported in the COM
missions utilities financing investi-
cation today. 1T seems doubtful if
anything will be realized" on $685.
100000 worth of securities issued
by the w. B. Foshay companies of
Delaware and Minnesota in 1927,
1928 and 1929.
Lucas said the companies went
into receivership in 1929. The
Foshay group supplied utilities SER
vice in IA states, Canada, Mexico,
Honduras and Nicaragua.
His report showed that when the
Delaware company, which had OBJ
tanned all business and assets of the
Minnesota firm, went into receiver
ship it had outstanding liabilities of
$19,OO0,0OO. That did not include liza
bilities of affiliated companies
which also went into receivership.
The witness said Foshay company
securities were not listed on any
stock exchange, and salaries paid
to officers were quite liberal" He
said dividends were paid out of cap
ital.
"The uncertain financial condi-
ton of the Foshay organization was
evidenced by the fact" Lucas said,
that on August IL, 1929, in order
to purchase a piece of real estate
for 1895, 231 and negotiate a loan
for 100000 making a total of $685.

68 different urban centers of more
than 100000. This year she is GER
tain of eighty-seven such cities.
Forty years ago, 1874 per cent of
the American people chose to live
in cities of more than 100000.
Thirty years ago, 1877 per cent
manifested such a choice. Twenty
years ago, it had raised to 22.1 by
1920, more than one-fourth the
population, 25.9 per cent, were big
city jewellers. This census is sure
to see a commensurate rise.
Ten years ago, but 27,429,3 1926 per-
sons were living in cities of more
than 100000. They were 25.9 per
cent of the population. That per-
centage of the estimated 1880 to-
tai population would be 29,S45, 1863.
It appears now the number living
in a center of more than 100000
will range around 35,000,000.
Since the big city total has passed
that mark by several millions, it is
now known definitely the urban
traffic policeman shrills to a mount
ing proportion of the population.

Edwin ]. Foster, the kid" and
the national Chief of
the Grand Army of the Republic
came to Minneapolis to meet once
again with his comrades and to tell
them that as long as a boy in
blue" is alive, there will be an an
nual encampment.
"And we'll go on meeting for
some years yet" the national lead
er of these men who fought for
their country nearly 10 years ago
said with some of the same spirit
of 1860 in his voice. There arc
$4,000 of us left and while I don't
suppose we'll have $4,000 meets,
We'll have quite few.

members of the G. A. R., being only

gathered to hear him were four,

through the ice pack but I man.
aged to get out three meals day
all right"
Instead of chopping wood as
some cooks might have to do, Mr..
Leuthner chopped ice in his spare
time. That was during the two
months the City Of New York spent
in the ice pack. Most of the ice was
chopped off the decks and the
rigging of the barque after wealth
ering storm.
I'VE used to be pretty tired when
our work was over" he said. I'VE
had the radio but we were too
weary to care about much recea-
ton.
THE best thing about the trip
was the association with the men.
Commander Byrd is wonderful, a
remarkable man. I am fortunate
to have been associated with him.
I met lot of fine men. The COM
radeship was fine. You might
think that a group kept together
like that might not get along, but
these men had a wonderful spirit.
II was only on the ice one day
myself. The rest of the time was
on the ship. I spent much of the
time in New Zealand, where both
ships were in dock, cooking for all
the men of both the City of New
York and the Eleanor Boiling"
The men didn't wear furs much
because they were too cumbersome
to work in, Mr.. Leuthner said. He
wore heavy wooden clothes and
when outside, added parka of
light aeroplane cloth which kept
out the wind.
"It was a great experience" he
said, Even if I don't want to go
back. I wouldn't have missed it. I
never had been on any such trip
before, though I have been abroad
But we're going to have a little
celebration in New York this
week and then I'm coming back
here. For several summers I've
been guide up north and I expect
to do that again this summer. TIN
be different anyway. And I can
tell the fishermen about the trout
I caught in New Zealand.

Highway Markers Greatly
Appreciated by the Public
Vandals Destroy Many, Using
Guide Posts" as Target Is No
Longer Popular

Highway signs and markers may
seem a small item, but on 1000
miles system of heavily travelled
trunk highways, keeping up the
signs necessary to guide travellers
and warn them of various hazards,
runs into a large sum. Last year
the Minnesota Highway depart
ment spent SS1,917 for this service
This includes both erection of new
signs where needed, and mainten-
ance of signs on the entire system,
says a Highway bulletin.
Damage done by vandals and
thoughtless persons runs into thou
sands of dollars every year. But the
damage is not as great as one
might think, when you consider the
many thousands of signs through
out the state. A quarter century
ago the guide post was favorite
target for boys with stones and
men with guns. Today the youth
who can hit them is not looked up
to by his associates. People apprec-
late the value and Importance of

MINNESOTA COOK
Will GREET BYRD
Alexandria Man Who Pre-

1t Was "Great Life"
MEAT WAS LIKE BEEF
Would Not Have Missed Trip,
But "One Is Enough"
Says Leuthner
Mondays Minneapolis JournaD

Mondays Minneapolis JournaD
After cooking whale, seal and
penguin for hungry explorers on a
ship plugging it's dangerous way
through antartic ice, Walter Leuth-
ner, Alexandria, Mimi, will settle
down this summer to the tame
business of being northwoods
guide.
Mr.. Leuthner, who was cook and
baker on the city of New York,
one of the ships of the Byrd South
Pole expedition, passed through
Minneapolis today on his way to
New York to meet Commander
Richard Evelyn Byrd and the last
detachment of the expedition on
their return to the United Stats
this week.
Mr.. Leuthner returned to Mime
sofa in April from the most excit-
ing experience of his life.
But I don't want to go back"
he said today. "Once is enough"
Before he left here a year and a
half ago to join the expedition in
New Zealand he never had cooked
a meal save on hunting and fishing
trips. And he didn't pack a cook
book in his baggage either.
II got along all right, guess" he
said today. I'VE had mostly
canned vegetables and fruit. The
vegetable were dehydrated. We
shot some seal ourselves and got
whale meat from the whalers.
whale meat is fine, something
like beef, in taste, tender and bone
less. Seal meat isn't so good. They
both are as easy to cook as any
thing else. Mostly we roasted them.
Penguin I never did eat, but some
of the boys seemed to like the
breast of penguin. To cook that
you have to let the bird stand in
vinegar for a whole day.
II did all the baking. know lot
more about that than the cooking,
because we had a bakery in Alex
dria. We had cake and pie-apple
pie was favorite-and biscuits and
bread right along.
"I never had cooked on shipboard
before, but I didn't mind the roll
ing. We used a coal stove, so it
was always warm in the galley. On
the way back to New Zealand from
Little America last winter the wa
ter stood a foot deep on the floor
of the galley and it rained pots and
