New Rules Govern
| Weight Of Trucks
Larger Loads, but Less Weight Per
Axle, Permftted-Maximum
Length Reduced

Two laws changing the limita-
tons on loads which may be moved
over the highways of Minnesota,
were enacted by the recent session
of the Legislature. Both are aimed
at the protection of the road itself
and also the protection of other
traffic, says highway bulletin.
The most important is the new
law governing the weight of We
hicles and loads. The main regula-
tions may be summed up as fol-
lows:
No vehicle equipped with pneu-
matte tires and axles spaced more
than eight feet apart, shall have a
weight exceeding 5000 pounds on
any wheel, or 1900 pounds on one
axle.
Vehicles equipped with solid tires
shall not carry loads exceeding 80
per cent of the weight permitted
for pneumatic tires.
The old law permitted gross
loads of $4,000 pounds on four
wheels, and 22,400 pounds on one
axle. Under the new law a vehicle
with the weight evenly distributed
on all four wheels may weigh as
much as $4,000 pounds, but the max

pOrtant Club Friday Evening

Friday evening, May 8, at 500
o'clock, the Izaak Walton League,
of this city, will meet at the Com
munity Club rooms to consider
whether the local chapter should

into the National, rs cents goes
to the state and IS cents remains
in the local Chapter treasury. The
National payments entities the
member to a subscription to the
National magazine, high class
foutdoor publication.
Some of the local members feel
that with an Independent organiza-
ton they can reduce the member
ship fee and obtain a much larger
Organization which can do more
real conservation of wild life in the
Sank. Centre community.
The League officers got in touch
with the State Came and Fish De-
lpartment Wednesday morning.
Louis Ingstrom, assistant game and
fish commissioner has promised to

up in two teams properly mixed in
an endeavor to have an even con-
test.
George Steiner shot an even 100
Sunday. His handicap of Is brought

Chief Justice Sammuel B. Wilson
of the state supreme court sSatur-
day ruled that the supreme court
would not take original jurisdiction
and that the litigation would have
to begin in district court.
The litigation is to be started in
the Ramsey court because statutes

against a state official must start
in the county of that officials re-
sidence or in the county in which
he performed his acts of office

of mandamus requiring Mr.. Holm
J to return to Congressman Harold
Knutson his filing as a candidate
for denomination in the Sixth dis
trict; the second asks Mr.. Holm be
enjoined from accepting any more
filings until the reapportionment

would prevent him from publishing
notices of the 1882 congressional
election until the matter is settled.

Such a question could be raised
through a demand of the new con-
servation department for the state
auditor to turn over lands and min
erals. Mr.. King then could refuse
and court action be started in an
attempt to force the auditor to do
so.
For years there has been indeci-
sion as to the constitutional desig-
nation of the officer in charge of
the public trust funds which have
to do with education in public
schools and the University of Min
nesota, Mr.. King said Saturday in
explaining his stand.
The major portion of the states
permanent trust funds is derived
from the sale of land, timber and
ore. The protection of this trust
should be the objective of every
state official and necessitates the
determination Of what official Is
responsible, Auditor King said.

st. Paul, May ga second legis-
lative act, that providing unified
conservation DEPARTMENT i faced q
court test today as the attorney
general worked to determine its
constitutionality.
The principal issue is whether
the act is legal in taking away Gus
todianship of lands $ and minerals
from the state auditor, a matter
concerning more than $4,000, 900
of permanent trust funds and state
lands. RI
Attorney General Henry Benson
pointed out that if state lands, tim
Der and minerals cannot be trans
ferred to the new five-man com
mission then the new conservation
program, adopted after ten years
OF Legislative controversy, is void
until citizens pass constitutional
amendment. 81.
Effective July 1, the new act
creates a commission Of five, per-
sons appointed by the governor,
who in turn appoint a commission
er. Besides lands.and minerals, the
new Department. would unity the
divisions of game and fish, forestry
and drainage and waters.
In the event Attorney General
Benson holds the legislature had
authority under the constitution to
take away lands and minerals from
the auditors office, Auditor King
will consider starting a friendly
suit to definitely determine the
question in the high courts, he said
Should Mr.. Benson rule the act
unconstitutional in that respect,
Governor Floyd B. Olson probably
will sponsor a suit to test the ques-
ton. SH

Hint Young Attorney Had
Feared Use of Picture

LOS ANGELES. May Histories
Of a gay party which it was said
David H. Clark attended three years
ago when he was a deputy district
attorney crept today into the Craw-
ford Spencer double Staying which
has threatened among other things
to ''blow the lid OF racketerriug."
Police said that Clark, now &C
cused Of numbering Charles CraW-
ford, powerful politician and Her
bert Spencer, Magazine editor, then
was prosecuting Albert Marco, vice
controller, on charges Of assault to
commit murder.
Clark, it was said, attended the
party between two trials of Marco
It was said that during the party
he was supposed to have been pho
tographed with a girl.
Officers believed that such photo
graphs never were taken, but that
their supposed existence may have
been used by foes Of Clark during
the recent primaries when he won
the right to contest for a municipal
judgeship in the June 2 elections.
Feared Effect of Picture
Clark prosecuted both of Marcos
trials. The first resulted in a hung
jury. At the second, Marco was
sent to San Quentin for fourteen
years.
Officials believed Clark may have
had reason to believe that the
photograph, and some documents
had reached Crawford.
He may also have feared, it was
said, that the evidence against him
might find its way from Crawford to
Spencer, who would publish the ma
terial in the Critic of Critics, polit-
ical magazine Of which he was as
sociate editor.
Politicians said Clark had the
support of political faction headed
by Guy McAfae, politician and
gambler, and that Crawford, at outs
WIN fACAeG, desired TO ruin CIdrKS
chances for election.
Clark Remains Silent
Meanwhile, Clark is silent regard
ing the shooting.

he said. Right now am happy
because my wife Nancy believes in
me. She is brick. 1t must be
hard on her to come to the jail to
see me-
Clark said he still desired to be
elected judge.
Search for June Taylor, attractive
young hotel owner and former asso-
ciate Of Marco, was continued.
Authorities believed she could
furnish information on Clark's
whereabouts from the afternoon
when Crawford and Spencer were
shot until the next night when he
