Federal Men
Unearth Big
StillNearCit
Plant One of the Most Mod
ern Ever Discovered In
Central Minnesota ]
WOMAN, Arrested
Rose Has Not Been Pinned
On the Owners, 1t Is
Claimed
MEN, WOMAN, Arrested

Wednesday afternoon of last
week Federal officers headed by
Mr.. Robert, of st. Paul, raided,
perhaps, the most complete still
for the manufactor of honest to
goodness hard liquor ever un-
earthed in Central Minnesota.
This plant was almost upon the
threshold of Sank Centre, gener-
ally reputed to be one of the
really dry" localities in Stearns
county.
The plant the Herald under
stands, was located on Highway
No. 4, about eight miles from this
city.
Wednesday afternoon the ire
venuers" struck an apparently
new and slightly used trail and
wendell their way about a half
mile off the Highway when they
discovered an innocent frame
building nesting in the woods, to
all intents peacefully.
The odor eminating from the
building increased the suspicious
of the minions of the law and they
fastened to make personal in
vestigations. Upon entering the
building they found a modern still,
supervised by distiller who was
'bred in Old Kentucky"
The plant was equipped with
Diesel engine which operated an
individual electric lighting plant
and operated the machinery.
There was a well which sup
piled a tank situated in the ceiling
of the building and provided fresh
running water all the time. There
was also, among other equipment
a complete still for the manufac-
ture of liquor on a large scale;
there were Is very fine oak bar
rels, jugs of various sizes almost
without number, and at least $50
gallons of finished moon being
"aged." The plant cost at least
$1,000 to install.
Photographer Henry Rydholm
was taken to the plant by the
Federal officers and took a half
dozen very interesting pictures.
Thursday it took four very large
trucks to haul the equipment
away. The plant was taken down
very carefully and not broken up.
Two men and a woman were
placed under arrest. It is not pre-
sumed that the owners Of the
still were landed. Perhaps the
men will be the fall guys" and
take the rap"
The building was new and SO
was the equipment. Apparently 1t
had been in operation only short
time. The capacity output was
ample. Those supposed to be in
the know" insist that four trucks
were kept busy transporting the
plants output to the trade.

GOVERNOR EMMERSONS VETO OF The PROHIBl
TON REPEAL BILL

Governor Louis L. Emmerson'S forceful message
giving his reasons for vetoing the OGrady- McDer-
mott prohibition repeal bill is stateSmanlike de-
liverance. The governor did not mince words in adj
herring to the controlling principles of American
government involved. His veto message will go down
into history of the important state papers
the prohibition question.
He has not only served his own constituency in IL
lnoiS and saved the state from the disgrace of vr
tual secession from the union the greatest moral
political issue since slavery, but at critical period
he has given the nation document which will be
pointed to with pride by future generations.
His message has done more than anything that
has happened in decade to block the work of mon
eyed liquor interests and irresponsible demagogues
bent upon bringing back the liquor traffic at the sac
rifce of principles which are the very foundation
stones of government He has dealt blow to
these forces from which they will not soon, if ever,
recover. The opposition to veto terrific 1t took
clear thinking amid much misinformation and con-
fusion. 1t took courage of the highest type.
The people of Illinois are for law and order. The
great majority without question staunchly for
the principles which the governor forcefully
enunciateS.
Governor Emmerson acted to protect the people
of his state from grave impending evil. On great
moral issue he proved himself true patriot, a
friend of humanity, worthy governor of the state
of Lincoln, Logan and Grant. j. c.

ATTACK OF Wet PRESS ON GOVERNORS REASON
FOR VETO IS A DUD

The basic reason given by Governor Emmerson for
his veto of the prohibition repeal bill that the
state would have been left without laws to cope with
the evils of the liquor traffic if he had signed the
measure. On this question the governor said:
1t is apparent, Therefore that House bill
No. would remove from the statutes all these
laws on this subject and the serious conse-
quences of such situation cannot be ignored
by any thoughtful citizen. The police, sheriffs,
constableS and other laW-enforcing officers,
numbering tens of Thousands, could not under
state law interfere with the sale of liquor to
school children, the operation Of stills and
dramshopS near schools and colleges, or any
other traficking in intoxicants. The only pro-
lection from these evils would be the activities
of comparatively few federal agents, unless
some measure of power remains in munich
palitieS by ordinance, but this would neceS-
sarily be weak and ineffective.
The Chicago Tribune and the Chicago EUepi7lg
American have taken issue with the governor this
statement claiming that under certain federal stat
uteS the people of the state could be protected from

In his message vetoing the O'Grady-McDermott
bill to repeal Illinois prohibition enforcement laws
Governor Louis L. EmmerSon delivered body blow
to the nullifcatonists when he said
1t is quite evident to me that the repeal of
these acts is not a mere gesture of disapproval

but tends to strike at the fundamental unity
of national government under the federal
constitution.
I am not for notification.
Destructive principles which do not protect
the lives and homes of all our citizens will not
afford the solution of the liquor problem.
Ralph M. Shaw, writing as chairman of the Hi
noiS division of the Association Against the Prohibi-
ton Amendment and on behalf of the Crusaders
and Women's Organization for National Prohibition
Reform replies:
Still again-pernlit me to say that there was
nothing in the repeating act which is an at
tempt to nullify the constitution of the United
States. The use of the word "nullify" is mere
play upon words.
The state of Illinois has no power to nullify
the constitution of the United States; neither
is it notification ON the part of the state of Il
linoS to repeal its own state legislation. One
cannot but think that the of this word is
nothing more or less than an appeal to those
people who indulge in mass thinking To
thinking people the word "nullify" in this
connection is wholly inapplicable.
Tt is Attorney Shaw, advocate of the allied vets,
who is resorting to technical law and the ckery of
words to try to fool the public and his clients
from the odium which their indefensble repeal pro-
gram places upon them in the eyes of thinking peo
pie.
Notification, and nothing less is the effect of the
wet repeal program. The purpose is to withdraw
support of the individual states from the United
States constitutions the result is to encourage and
bring about violations Of the federal constitution.
Well, Governor Emn1 erSon will probably smile and
dismiss this attack of Attorney Shaw as hardly
worthy of even passing notice in view of the fact
that the following eminent lawyers have called the
kind of action which the governor characterized as
qualification" by precisely the same word in their
report as members of the National Commission
Law Observance and Law Enforcement namely
Former Attorney General Geo. w WickerSham, for
mer Secretary of War Newton D. Baker, Federal
Judges William S. Kenyon, Paul J. Mccormick, and
William I. Grubb, former Chief Justice Kenneth
Macintosh of the supreme court of Washington,
and Dean Roscoe Pound of Harvard law school.
At page SO of their report they declare:
MULTIPLICATION
Tt is generally admitted and indeed has
been demonstrated by experience that state
cooperation is necessary to effective enforce
ment. In states which decline to cooperate
and in those which give but perfunctory or
lukewarm cooperation not only does local
federal enforcement fall but those localities
become serious points for injecting others.
1t seems to be admitted by the government
and demonstrated by experience that it is
substantially impracticable for the federal
government alone to enforce the declared pol
icy of the national prohibition act effectively
as to home production. Obviously, NULLIF1-
FTCATION by failure of state cooperation and
acquiesced-in MULTIPLICATION in homes have
serious implications.

SILVER CONFERENCE
MAY BE CALLED SOON
BY the Associated Press.

The Executive Committee of the In
ternational Chamber of Commerce is
expected to call silver conference at
It's annual meeting to be held in Paris
the first week of July.
Such a conference would be restricted
to experts. with the various national
committees Of the countries interested
sending one or more delegates.
1t was explained here today that
such parley would be entirely without
the realm of diplomacy-in fact, such
meeting as was suggested by President
Hoover last week as holding much
promise for the good of silver. It was
at first suggested that the various gov
ernments of the world interested in sill
yer partake in such conference: but
this was abandoned when 1t was learned
England, controlling the vast silver sup
ply OF India, would not officially take
kindly to the suggestion.
In . discussion of the silver question
here some weeks ago, the international
chamber found Its serious consequences
to be detrimental to the economic con-
dition of the world. and passed reso-
luton considering as eminently deSir-
able the convocation during. the current
year of a conference nc which all in
terested parties may be heard for the
purpose Of seeking solution Of the
problem.
Americans, who are members Of the
Executive Committee Of the interna-
tiorlal chamber, are Willis II. Booth, vice
president OF the Guaranty Trust Co.,
and Nelson Dean Jay, Paris represen-
tative of j. p. Morgan &c Co. The con-
ference would be called at the instance
OF Franz Won Mendelssohn, Berlin
banker and president Of the 1nternA-
tional Chamber Of Commerce.

U. S. COAL INDUSTRY
AFFECTED BY TARIFF
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
? The American coal industry is threat
ened further under the new Canadian
tariff acts on imports, which exact a
duty of from 40 cents a ton on an
thracite and Ignite to IS cents a ton
on bituminous and 81 ton on coke
These rates apply to all countries save
Great Britain. which enjoys q prefer
ential rate.
Statistics Of the National Coal As
sQciation show that for the five years
preceding 1925. even including the year
1922, when exports were greatly cur
tailed on account of the bituminous
strike, the United States furnished 50.2
per cent of the total coal consumed in
nished 49, per cent. In the five years
from 1925 to 1880. inclusive, the per-
centage coming from American mines
declined to 46.S per cent and that fur
nished by Canadian mines has risen to
52.8 per cent.
The experience of past tariff changes
on coal lead the association to believe
the new rates will further reduce
American coal exports to Canada.
The association said the Canadian
government had tried in other ways to
promote the Use of Canadian coal.
with its industrial development
largely oentered in Quebec and On
tario, and It's coal deposits at long dis
tances from those provinces, Canadian
coal producers have been under the
handicap of a heavy transportation
charge" 1t said. Commencing in 1928.
the government has been aiding Ca
madam producers by assuming respon-
sibility for a part of the transporta-
tion charge This subsidy has been
granted both to Eastern and to Western
mines"
