Credit Bureau
MANAGEMENT
Is Criticized
Feroe, Former Assistant At
torney General, Ousted,
Makes Charges
OFFICIALS ARE IN BAD
$4,000 Spent for Paint Pur-
chased Without Bids
Other Irregularities

st. Paul, Feb. DISCHARGES of
"collusion" involving a rural credit
department executive in handling
claim against that department
were made before the special state
senate committee investigating
that department last night by H. M.
Feroe, former assistant attorney
general attached to the bureau.
He also charged that an employee
of the Brainerd office Of the de-
partment was used as dummy
in an attempt to collect s160
salesman's commission, and that
the bureau spent $4,000 for paint
without receiving bids.
Citing the departmental records
and quoting from official cor
respondence, Feroe testified he had
reported his suspicious Of col
fusion" between the executive and
his attorney to the attorney gen.
eral and others, but that the execu-
tive still is with the department.
His testimony was that after the
department had decided to refund
$1,000 to the purchaser of a Wash
ington county farm and had au-
thorized the executive to do SO,
the executive had tried indirectly
to obtain so per cent Of the sum in
attorneys fees on the representa-
ton that in that way the refund
ment might be obtained.
The purchaser Of the farm, Fei oe
testified, had asked for return of
payment of $1,000 for the farm
after learning that $1,000 in ditch
liens were held against the prop
erty.
Feroe testified the stenographer of
the Brainerd department office was
used as dummy" in an effort to
collect $160 in fees for arranging
redemption Of a farm on which the
department had foreclosed because
Of an unpaid loan Of $1784. He
charged that the executive, named
in the Washington county farm deal
was involved in this transaction.
Feroe was ousted by Attorney
General Harry Peterson when the
idIICi toOh ohlCC ~ JANUARY L tdSI.
Feroe protested against his dismiss
sal and his successor, Joe Poir-
Ter, obtained possession of Feroe's
office only by changing the lock
and finally by sleeping in the Of
flee over night so he would be the
first present the next morning.
Feroe took the case 20 the courts
and his custer was upheld by the
Ramsey county district court. He
now has appealed to he state su-
preme court.
In his testimony Monday night
Feroe also charged that the rural
credit department over his protest
had sold farms for prices less than
the total Of the states investment.
He read lengthy statement to the
committee when he first took the
stand, reviewing the history of the
organization, empka-
sizing the shakeup after the new
state administration was inste;led
January 1, 1881 and charging that
a formed head Of the bureau eAect-
ed "at least two donations from
department employees" to help f.
nance his unsuccessful race for con-
gress.

The following letter from Strome,

Feb. 81, 1893
The Sank Centre Herald:
Dear Sir
Enclosed find $500 and give me
credit on my bill that I owe you
for the Herald. The exchange is so
high that is one reason why I
have not RENTED money to cover
my subscription. I'm living in
hopes that in the near future the
exchange will not be as high as 1t
Is now.
I expect you know all about the
depression, so it is not much use Of
me telling you much on that sub
ject.
People are faring quite well here
but they are not paying up any
debts.
Hoping this will meet with your
approval, and If I get any more
United States money in the near
future you may hear from me
again. I appreciate it very much
that you have sent me the paper,
even though I have been in ar
rears.
Resp. yours,
John P. Minette.

part of my vision has been realized
far beyond my dreams. The Folger
Shakespeare Library is available for
scholars. I should like to see the
other half Of my vision fulfilled in a
playhouse devoted to the performance
of Shakespeare's plays and the plays
OF his contemporaries. I do not want
building so large that it would be
expensive to maintain and difficult to
fill, and do not want building so
small that the people for whom
Shakespeare wrote the average people,
could not be admitted. We are starting
fund for such a Shakespeare theater,
and are encouraged by the first re-
sponse manifested"
Dr. E. v. Wilcox, president of the

PLANS FINEST
STADIUM IN

BERLIN, Dec. 15.-Adolf Hitler
has taken personal charge Of the
Olympic games to be held in
Germany in 1886.
In a pronouncement today the
German Chancellor gives his
consent to the building of the
finest Olympic stadium in the
world. Hitler made no mention
Of race or creed and the ministry
Of propaganda advised it was
without authority to say whether
the pronouncement was issued in
order to lift the athletic ban on
German Jews, as demanded by
the American Amateur Athletic
Union.
In urging all organizations to
support the movement for a
great Olympic games, Hitler said
the Reich sports leader would be
responsible to him only, which
kills present efforts to put all
German sports under the au-
thority of the storm troops.

Meanwhile Stanley Harris is
being labeled the most fortunate
manager in baseball, what with
having team handed to him
in Boston that can't very well
help being heard from when the
1884 ba eball season rolls
around.
And Tom Yawkey, the foster
son Of a wealthy and deceased
Michigan lumber king, is prov
ing the handspring behind the
movement to lead Boston out
of the baseball wilderness.
Surrounding himself with in
Vulnerable proven stars of the
major leagues, several from
the minors and a barrel of
baseball brains in the person
of Eddie Collins, Bucky Harris
and Joe Judge, Yawkey and the
Boston Red Sox are sitting
pretty.
This fact should be of no
little interest, say nothing of
alarm, to Washington, because
II of the Washington victories
which paved the way to a
local pennant were gained at
the expense Of the Red Sox,
who were only in the process
Of building.
It is not saying too much,
I believe, to assert that the Red
Sox have built, by now. Their
hat is in. the ring. They are
fortified all along the line from
a fat pocketbook down through
splendid administrative chiefs
and on to a playing personnel
which will find plenty of first
string men on the field as well
as on the bench.

Renaissance, for the much neg
