The Duluth, Missabe & Northern
Railway is authorized to take lease
of the Duluth & Iron Range Rail-
Road, the application of the former
having been approved by the Inter-
state Commerce Commission. The an
nouncement was made Dec. 20, IN

Duluth. The application was made
by the Missabe railroad last July.
The lease becomes effective Jan. 10.
The application was for lease for
a minimum period of Is years and a

will be certain advantages and econ
Omy in common operation as well
as ownership.

HE DIED 140 YEARS AGO
HIS SPIRIT LIVES TODAY

On January II Americans will cele-
brate the birthday of one of the
greatest men ever born on this con-
tinent. Benjamin Franklin was his
name and although he has been dead
these 140 years, his spirit lives today
and present day Americans feel closer
kinship with Franklin, perhaps, than
any other character in Eighteenth
century history.
The theme of Franklin as the
Apostle of Modern Times is devel-
oped by Elmo Scott Watson in an il

kato.
The short courses are planned to
meet one day each week, preferably
for at least eight weeks. Lecturers
are sent out by the University and
doctors from the county in which the
course is being held come in to the
designated center, which ordinarily Is
the county seat. The days work con-
siStS of clinic of one or two hours,
during which the treatment of cases
is demonstrated, followed by lecture
or lantern slide demonstration of the
same length of time.
The Extension division has so ar
ranged the plan that classes organ
lied by physicians in county may
designate the subjects on which it
wishes to hear lecturers and may also
select the lecturer whom the Univer-
sity shall send. Costs are held to a
minimum, and where county group
can arrange it with a group in an
adjacent county, SO that the lecturer
may make two meetings on successive
days the expense can be cut still fur
ther.
The medical short courses have been
going on for several years and have
been held in various sections of the
state.
Minnesota has sixteen County Med
ical Societies that are groups in the
State Medical Association, with head
quarters at Pipestone, Brainerd, ST.

MADRID, Feb. /. U.P>-The gov
eminent Of General Damaso Beren-
Suer began its administration today
W.th gesture of leniency. Twenty
seven prisoners held for participa-
ton in the recent student outbreaks
in Madrid We're released by orders
Of the new premier.
Seven .c.her, political offenders
were previously granted amnesty.
Despite this action, however, Gen
cral Berenguer's attitude toward the
Atheneum de NJ I'd + i d, gathering
place of some of SPANS most bril-
liant men of learning and politicians,
indicates that he intends to maintain
Il firm grip on the situation.
Announcement of former leaders
of the Atheneum that they intend
70 take over management of the
society, WAS followed by closing the
institution under police guard.
A sidelight on the social-polltical
state was revealed today in TIE pos
sibilitv that the fallen dictator,
Primo De Rivera, may have to fight
d duel-on a question of honor
with the Duke Almodovar Del Vale.
In 1920, Almodovar took exception
to some of Primo De Rivera's words,
calling them "offensive." Under the
code of honor, no duel could take
place as long as the dictator held
office. Now that he is released, the
cause may be reopened although
friends of the former premier are
irving to prevent the duel.

W.R-Investigation of the shooting
to death of a II year old girl by her
playmate, James Ashton, IL, indica-
ted today the killing was accidental,
police said.
Circumstances of the ease as re-
constructed by the sheriff s office
were:
Little Jimmy discovered loaded
riff in his closet. Curiously he ex-
amincd it. The temptation to fire
it was too great. He took the gun
to the window of his room and pull
ed the trigger. A faint tinkling of
glass followed the shot.
Frightened, Jimmy jumped into
his bed and pulled the covers over
his head. He did not know the bull
let he had discharged had crashed
through window of the B. w.
Pennington home, striking MAR
garet Pennington, IA, just below the
heart and fatally wounding her. The
Pennington family was at dinner
when the bullet broke the dining
room window.
Officers managed to trace the
course of the bullet to ,Jimmy's
window. Jimmy readily admitted
the shooting, bursting into tears
when he learned the victim of his
Curiosity.

MERGER OF ALL
COMMUNICATION
SYSTEMS URGED

WASHINGTON, Feb. !. W.H-
Consolidation of wire, cable and
radio facilities of the United States
would save the people of this com
try $15,000,000 year, Sosthenes
Behn, president of the international
Telephone and Telegraph company,
told the senate interstate commerce
commission today.
Merger of the Western Union,
Postal Telegraph and the Radio Cor
poration would bring lower rates
and better service, Behn said.
Behn recommended amendment of
the Couzens bill, now before the
committee, to allow acquisition of
the communication facilities of the
Radio Corporation by the I. T. &
T., which has been agreed upon be-
tween the two companies.
"I am convinced he said,
"that it is economically sound, that
the merger of the wire, cable and
radio telegraph services in this
country and those reaching out to
the other countries should be legally
sanctioned.
GA preliminary study indicated
that the fusion would result, after
a short period of readjustment, in
economies of some $15,000,000 an
nually, which would be reflected in
the prompt reduction of telegraph
rates and the extension and i'm
provement of the services rendered.

he was the ideal man to conduct pro-

YET IDENTIFIED

Whether the body dragged from the
Imperial Irrigation District canal in
Lower California Monday, is that of
W. Paul Loveland wealthy Pasa-
dena man, or Frank Baumgarteker,
missing Los Angeles vineyardist, or
neither, is still a mystery.
Mexican officials early today had

body from its grave, % miles south
west of here so that attempts to
identify it may be made.
Because decomposition had reached
an advanced stage, the body was
hurled by Mexican officials pend.
ing permission for removal.
What held up the removal of the
body today could not be learned, al
though dispute over reward money
was believed to have caused the
latest delay. Mrs. Loveland had of

EXPECT PLENTY
OF WORK WILL
END RI0TINC
Filipino Situation In
North Of State Said To
Be Easier.
BY GEORGE d. CRISsEY
United Press staff Correspondent

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. /. U.P'--
Assuming that plenty of work means
few riots, authorities today looked
toward the fertile fields of the San
Joaquin valley as an avenue wliich
will stop fighting between Filipino
and white laborers.
The Filipinos are concentrating in
the rich districts of interior Cali
iornia, but this fact brings only
signs of relief, because it is work
that is drawing the islander. to-
gether.
For time it was feared that the
Filipin0s would collect in groups and
hold 4 California phase of the "na-
tional humiliation day" observance
which will be staged in Manila Sun
day by way Of mourning the death
Of Il young Filipino who was killed
in riot near jacksonville.
But the soil of the California val
leys eased the fear. The spring crops
will mean more jobs for everyone,
and as a result the competition for
work between the two races will end.
The asparagus around Stockton
will be ready in about Il month. and
other crops will soon demand all sur
plus workers. Today, despite the
bombing of Filipino club in Stock
ton, the islanders are flocking to
that region.
Authorities are apprehensive, how
ever, and are guarding against the
possibility of n renewal of the riots
which caused the death at Watson
Vile and resulted in hundreds of in
juries in the Pajaro valley and San
Jose.
With comparative calm prevailing,
{ does not seem likely that ex-
treme measures will be required to
handle the situation.

JAPANESE AND

BEING STUDIED
Chief Delegates To Lon

Over Weekend.
By RAYMOND CLAPPER
United Press Staff Correspondent

LONDON, Feb. ]. U.P)-While the
chief delegates to the London Naval
Conference were taking holiday
over the week end, their advisors
and experts began an intensive
study of japanese and French pro
posals of methods of arriving at
naval curtailment.
With the japanese suggestion
that transfer of tonnage from one
type of warship to another should
be limited to those ships carrying
six inch guns or smaller, the drive
against Frances demand for unlim-
tied transferance of tonnage was
begun.
Both the Americans and British
agree that if nations, allotted GER
tain number of tons of naval arma-
ment, are permitted to put this tom
mage into any class of fighting YES
sci they choose, the real purpose of
armament limitation will be defeat
ed.
Today the experts studied blanks
provided by France in which the
worlds navies are divided into six
classifications. Opposite each class
ifieation is space in which the
experts are supposed to set down
the needs of their respective nations
in that particular type.
The French propose that any ma
ton desiring to eliminate ships of
one class and substitute an equal
amount of tonnage in another class,
shall notify the other powers one
year in advance of the change, and
that all particulars regarding type
and armament shall be made public
at least one months before construc.
