''Hooray. hooray for Camp Bennett,

This rhymeless chorus from 88 lusty
throats was the spontaneous tribute of

children's health camp by the mis-
sions Board of Directors and the
visitors were shown about the comfort

the men of the popular giee club who
had done so much to boost the camp
during the recent campaign for funds.
Mr.. de Groot reminded that the mis-
sion is soon to observe its golden
Jubilee anniversary but that the dedi-
cation of the camp had fulfilled a
vision that Mrs Bennett has had for
l9 years In acknowledging this
tribute Mrs. Burnett said that today
is the biggest event of my life" but
it was to the Women's Guild that she
gave the major part of the credit for
making the camp possible.
For that reason, she christened the
administration building with the name

TWO DIE AS HEAT
WAVE ENDS HERE
Cool Wind Brings Tempera-
ture Down After Hot
Sunday.

The heat wave which yesterday
was at least partially blamed for two
deaths in Washington and which had
run its total fatality figure for the
countrH during the past week to rear
the 300 mark, today let up in Wash
ington and along the Eastern Sea-
board.
A cool wind from the north and
east was expected to hold today's max
imum temperature to SO. the Weather
Bureau said. The humidity, which
has been hitting around the so per
cent mark for the past week, stood
at 40 at am. today.
At / o'clock, however, the tempera-
ture had reached 86, with the pros
pect it may go little higher.
Yesterdays maximum here was 95
degrees, reached at $3.50 pm.
No Break in West.
In the Midwest, however, tempera-
lures continued in the 100-plus class
in many localities and no break was
seen for the Great Plains.
Yesterdays two victims were Ralph
j. Davis, IS, of the 2100 block of N
street, who was stricken with indiges-
ton and heart attack superinduced
by the heat, and died at Emergency
Hospital, and Horace c. Carpenter, IS,

Control Fight.
FEES TO RECEIVERS
DEFENDED BY KENYON
Harry Wardman Contends 1928
Appraisal Was Justified at
That Time.

The expected showdown In the fight
for control of the Mayfiower Hotel
failed 10 materialize in District Su-
preme Court today when Justice Pey-
ton Gordon deferred decision on hear
ing the case.
Justice Gordon said he would 10
over the various papers filed In the
litigation and announce tomorrow
whether he would hear argument on
any or all of the issues at this time.
The two principal questions involved
are whether bankruptcy proceedings
brought by the hotel corporation should
supercede a foreclosure action filed by
the corporate trustee of the first mort
gage, and whether the local court has
jurisdiction to make permanent the
appointment of temporary trustees In
the bankruptcy action.
Foreclosure Appealed.
Justice Jesse C. Adkins already has
signed final decree ordering the FORE
closure sale Of the hotel and an appeal
from this action is now pending In
the Court of Appeals. The hotel COM
pany contends the bankruptcy pro-
ceedings brought by II last month
under the new bankruptcy law should
take precedence over the foreclosure
action. despite the signing of q decree
In the latter case.
Counsel for the various interested
parties pressed for consideration on
both main issues at the same time, but
advised the court they did not be-
awNaw~ l4ak,
essary. 1t was said the operation Of
the hotel could be continued under
the temporary trustees, who formerly
served as receivers.
These receivers. Miller Kenyon,
John Lewis Smith and Rush L. Hol-
land-were criticized in a report Sat-
urday from the subcommittee Of the
Senate District Committee which In
vestigated the proposed reorganization
and refinancing Of the hotel.
Kenyon Defends Fees.
Indicating he did not feel the criti-
eism was justified. Col. Kenyon said
he thought the fees paid the re-
ceivers were reasonable, and pointed
out 1t has been the almost universal
practice to appoint three receivers
in cases Of this kind. The committee
report had expressed the opinion that
one diligent receiver could have
handled the property, and also con-
tended the three had been paid ex-
cessive fees.
Holland, in refusing to comment on
the report. expressed the opinion the
subcommittee did not have all the
facts at its disposal.
Commenting on the criticism in the
Senate Subcommittee report regarding
the 1928 appraisal of the Mayfower,
Harry Wardman said today he felt
the appraisal was justified as Of that
time. He explained the appraisal was
based on the then reproduction cost.

Failure to Pay, Case
Reversed By High Court
State Supreme Body Holds Man

Man Had Served Term

A person cannot be imprisoned
for failure to pay because of ina
bility to do so, the Minnesota Su-
preme Court held in reversing the
Todd county district court in the
case of Dale Strong, Of Wheaton.
The lower court cited Strong for
contempt of court in failing to obey
a previous order to pay $27.50
down and SIS a month for the care
of an illegitimate child of whom
he was adjudged the father. Strong
was sentenced to a six-months Jail
term and he appealed.
"a proceeding in contempt to
coerce the payment of money is for
civil contempt" the supreme court
ruled. Being such one cannot be
imprisoned for failure to pay be-
cause of inability so to do. I'M
prisonment may be resorted to only
when he can pay but will not

coined all to the celebration. He
relayed "reminiscences of early
days in the Church as told to him
by Mrs. Simonton, of this city, who

He then called on Mrs. Minnie Null

the struggle that Christian peoples

E. B. Jewell, former rector of the
local parish, was paid a tribute by
Rev. L. E. Kempton for the start

that not to him did the parish owe
thanks but he to them for his
start in the ministry. He told of
the early history of the Episcopal
Church especially in the Northwest.
In outline form he stated that in
1852 the first Christian Church was
erected at Gull Lake, which was of
Episcopalian faith. Bishop Kemer-

program, and he expressed his APP

their loyalty, and made it known
that he had high hopes and expec-

Taxpayers in Stearns County will

history. The 1884 State tax levy,

The general revenue fund levy of

maximum authorized by the 1888
legislature, but the $7,980,0O0 esti-
mated income from this levy will
not be sufficient to meet the ap-
preparations made by the 1888 leg

for the general revenue fund, or a
total levy of 1900 mills, would be
needed to overcome the deficit in
the general revenue fund. Since

make an additional levy over the
levies set by the legislature, no ac-

"a serious situation confronts
the State because of the confusion
in the public mind relative to the
intent and purpose of Amendment
No. 1 to be voted on by the people
at the General Election, Nov. g." is
the warning contained in recent
statement by Mr.. Otto Swanstrom,
of Duluth, President of the Mime
sofa Good Roads Association, de-
claring for the passage of the
amendment.
The explanation appearing on the
ballot is not quite clear, it is point
ed out. Instead of allowing roads
to be added to the trunk system, 1t
instead ratifies those additions
made by the 1888 Regular Session
of the Legislature and reinstates
into the Constitution that, before
further additions can be made, at
least Is per cent of the new en-
larged system of 1890 miles must
be permanently improved.
The last paragraph contained in
the legal publication of the pro-
posed Amendment clearly sets
forth the meaning. The paragraph
reads as follows:
'SThe purpose and effect Of this
amendment is to ratify and con-
firm the establishment of all new
routes added to the trunk highway
system by the 1888 legislature, and
to give the legislature unrestricted
| authority to add new routes to the
trunk highway system after seven
