There has been only one bank hold
up this year-and the two bandits
committing the crime are known to
Melvin Passolt, director of the state
criminal apprehension bureau. who
feels certain the fugitives will soon
be caught. Last year there were
seven robberies of banks and only in
one instance does the identity of the
bandits remain a mystery. Bank rob-
berry, once flourishing, lucrative
profession in Minnesota, seems to
have lost favor under the efficient ad-
ministration of Chief Passoh.

Seller, making a specially of selling
worthless stocks to priests, defrauded
them of their hard earned savings.
S. Paul Skahen first heard of this in

his office into action and went on
the trail of Seller. The chase has
continued INCREASINGLY and on July IL,
last, Seller was picked up in Brook
Ign on information furnished by Com

by Seller in various counties OF the

must be stamped out and made to
realize that Minnesota is too hot for

The fire analysis released by Dewey
w. Johnson, deputy state fire marshall
for the months of March and April
of 1885 disclose that the cigarette is
one of the leading causes of fires in
the state of Minnesota. During those
two months Lady Nicotine in the
hands of careless citizens started 81
fires with a consequent fire loss of
S49,339 to property. Leading Nicotine
as a fire starter in the state of Min
nesOta was sparks from chimneyS.
This cause of fires was responsible
for 179 fires with property loss of
SS9,507. The lesser loss caused by
cigarettes is due to the fact that the
average loss from cigarette started
fires is due to the fact that cigarette
fires are the smoldering type. The
other causes of fires and the number
for the two months are: Defective
wiring, As; overheated stoves and in
efficient heating equipment, 100; gas
oline, kerosene and Illuminating gas
explosions, Sc; rubbish fires, 3: suspi-
cious or under investigation, 6; spOn-
taneous ignition, 3; incendiary, 3. The
total losses from these various causes
was 1851, 1921.

1t is likely that David r. Arundel,
state liquor control commissioner,
will ask the special session of the
Legislature, if and when called, to
increase his force of inspectors by
% men. A similar request prior to
the last session failed to pass be-
cause of the last minute jam in the
house. 1t probably would have sailed
through if the Legislature had lasted
another day. The senate voted such
an increase in personnel. At present
Mr.. Arundels enforcement crew is
limited to 10 men by law, a number
clearly inadequate to combat the
cheating" legal dealer and the boot
logger.

spoke said that the pending drive has

The outstanding success Of the
Farmer-Labor candidates in the re-
cent municipal election in Minneapo-
lis is subject to various interpreted
tions. Liberals of course are jubi-
liant because of the display of added
strength; conservatives are detected
because they had hoped that farmer
labor appeal to the voters was wan
ing. Under any condition, it is GER
tain that the voters of this state were
heartily disguised with the sordid po-
litics played by the last legislature,
which was under conservative dOmin-
alton. Had economic conditions been
normal, such playing of politics would
have been bad enough. The fact that
it occurred during time of economic
depression. when people clamored for
passage of remedial legislation, ag-
gravated the offense and placed the
conservatives in an extremely bad
light with the public. The conserva-
tives in the Legislature sacrificed the
needs of the people to purely political
considerations and the loss of the pub
lie confidence which they suffered
as a result is richly deserved. Per-
haps if a special session is called
they will come to their senses and
cooperate with the Governor in def
mite constructive program.
