After an explanation of the for

the various districts, the interior of
Federal Reserve Bank and its
employees at works were shown
Sorting of money, dispatching of
checks, and all of the many duties
relative to banking were performed
with the latest machinery and in
record time. Everything in these
banks has been arranged for safe

business.
We regret that we are unable to

Haycraft Declares Members
Too Busy To Properly
Consider Cases
DISTRICT JUDGES MET
Urged Limitation To Cases of
Error or Where Prisoner
Is Proven Innocent

Breezy Point, Mimi, July 10
District judges of Minnesota today
recommended stripping the pardon
board of powers of communication.
In session here in connection
with the annual convention of the
Minnesota State Bar Association,
the District Judges Association
urged limiting the pardon boards
jurisdiction to cases of error or
cases in which the prisoner has
been proven innocent.
The judges action was in line
with a recommendation Of the Min
nesota crime commission two
years ago.
1t followed discussion led by
Judge Julius Haycraft, Of Fair
mont. who said the present pardon
board "is composed of three elect
i've officers who are probably the
three busiest elective officers in
the state"
They are the governor, attorney
general and chief justice of the
Minnesota State Supreme Court.
Pardon applicants, coming before
the board Sin swarms," cannot get
proper consideration" Judge Hay
craft charged, because the pardon
board members are loaded down
with work.
The board has no field offices,
he pointed out, and can send no
officials out into the state to get
background on applicants.
Further, he charged, Gin some
cases the applicant can come be-
fore the board with two of the
three members prejudiced against
him."
1.-THE applicant may face, in the
attorney general, the man who
prosecuted him originally" he ex-
planned. "And the chief justice may
have passed upon his case in ap-
peal and might be unable to review
1t again without prejudice"
Judge Haycraft urged removing
the pardon board wholly from pol
itics, lodging the appointive power
with justices of the State Supreme
Court. For members, he suggested
criminologists, psychiatrists and
others familiar with crime.
Charging lack of cooperation at
the present between the pardon
board and judges, Judge Haycraft
said there are cases where men,
bers of the pardon board have in
suited judges in letters"
He cited a letter from William
Lamson, pardon board secretary, to
a Judge in which he quoted LAM
son as saying:
"This man says he was promised
by the court that he would be CIV
en- a suspended sentence II he
pleaded guilty to the lesser Of
fense."
This was termed direct insult"
by Judge Haycraft.
Judge Haycraft said Chief JUS
tice John P. Devaney, of the State
Supreme Court and Lamson had
been invited. Chief Justice Devaney
at first wrote that he planned to
attend but later said he would be
unable to do so but that Lamson
would be present. Lamson, however
did not come and said, when he
was telephoned yesterday by Judge
Haycraft, that he was too busy"

Refrigeration
Plant Shut Down
Ammonia Escaped-Needed Gas
Masks To Make Repairs
Nominal Loss

Frank Connolly, proprietor Of
the Main Street Cash Market, had a
costly experience the forepart Of
the week when the refrigeration
plant machinery was damaged. A
small valve broke Saturday at $50
and the machinery refused to func-
ton, hence he had no refrigeration
until Sunday afternoon at 2:30,
when a new part arrived and was
installed very soon.
The machine did not work right,
and it was impossible to get the
proper refrigeration. Monday night
q great deal Of the ammonia
escaped from the plant and in or
der to shut off the machine and re-
pair the damage it was necessary to
get gas masks. Tuesday morning
the ammonia was replaced and the
plant was again in running order.
Mr.. Connolly had a stock Of meat
valued at approximately $500 on
hand at the time the plant shut
down, and he was forced to cut up
a considerable amount Of the meat
and salt 1t down. Considering
everything Mr.. Connolly stated that
his losses were notoas great rs one
might expect.

To Be Or Not
To Be---Cool
Twenty Tons of Ice Used Daily In
Sank Centre During TOrrid
Wave

To be or not to be-cool. That Is
the question. And more than twen-
ty tons of ice is lot of ice on any
body's back. Which Is the amount
used daily in this city on an aver
age for these past several swelter-
ing days. With the hot drying spell
assuming whitening proportions
the populace is most concerned
with keeping cool. Various theories
are advanced and ice plays an i'm
portant part.
Ice for tall, cool drinks, for re-
frigeration, for icebags, for ice
cream and hundreds of other uses
is the demand. A huge traffic IN
the now precious cakes Is being
carried on. Ice men are busy
throughout the entire day hurrying
deliveries to meet the heavy de-
mand. Sunday when no deliveries
are made on the regular route, the
ice houses were swamped with per-
sons calling for ice to replenish
their depleted supplies. They report
that there need be no fear Of an
ice shortage. The depth Of the Ice
last winter gave them ample ice to
take care of the hot weather.
Night time relief Is quite the
problem. Persons are sleeping Tor
the most part in downstairs NH
provised beds, upper stories with
the sun pouring on them are too
warm. Even parks and backyards
have become Ravens for persons
wishing rest and relief.
Necessity Is ever the mother Of
invention, and inventive genius
buds forth In the line Of air condi-
tioning. Where fans alone serve
only to blow the hot air around, o.
w. Dowswell Is drawing the cold
basement air into the upper story
of his building and expelling the
hot air with an exhaust fan. Many
are utilizing the principle of wash
ed air by placing an electric fan
behind a cakeof Ice or a wet
sheet, wrung out in ice water.

NEW COOLING SYSTEM
Plant To Hold Constant Tenn

Immediate Installation

With the erection Of neon
lighted canopy and the installation
of washed air cooling system the
Oxford Theatre in this city will
have one Of the finest layouts OF
equipment in this section. Dis
mantling of the old canopy was be
gun on Monday of this week, and
Mr.. Parsons, manager of the Ok
ford, stated that completion should
be reached by this evening, Thurs
day.
Extending sixteen feet from the
building the canopy juts out over
curb and curves on the bias on
either side to measure thirty feet
as it is assembled across the front
Of the building. Strikingly decor
ated in contrasting colors of slate
gray, striped with orange and

will be set over with more than
four hundred feet of neon tubing
The front besides the neon tubing
will be striking in large lighted let
tiers the word Oxford. On either
side extending above the frame
work of the canopy will be oxford
lighted with neon and each letter
standing thirty inches high. Attrac-
tions will be plainly lettered or

Most important to theatre goers
these days will be the immediate
installation of the Comfort cooling
system in the Oxford. The plant !:

plant washes and humidifies thu
air properly. Mr.. Parsons an
nounced that he is most anxious tt
have the installation completed BY
a week from Sunday and is certain
that it will be. He explained alst
that the type of plant he is using
is utilized by the larger theatres
in the cities, and his particula.
plant is powerful enough to cool g

From $50 to $3.50
OTHER COURSES LATER
All Interested Should Contact
Ray Steir, Recreational
Director

Vernon Miller, life saving in
structor, will be in Sank Centre
starting July Goth. AS the WPA
Recreational Division is anxious to
get around the county as soon as
possible, he will give instruction in
Sank Centre and Melrose each day
for a period of a week or ten days.
Instruction will be given at the
Sank Centre bathing beach from
$50 to $50 each evening, and 1t Is
hoped that a large number will
partake of this opportunity. The In
structor will be in Melrose each af-
ternoon from 200 to 400 o'clock
Because there is only a limited
time for instruction 1t is desireo
that only those people enroll who
are good swimmers and are inter-
ested in taking the Life Saving
course. After the completion OF
this course, the instructor will go
to Paynesville, after which he will
again return to Sank Centre to
teach beginning and advanced
swimming.
Mr.. Miller, the instructor, has
had lot of training in swimming
and life saving work, and is highly
qualified to teach these subjects.
AS a teacher of these activities he
has been very successful in keeping
up interest among the people who
take the course. The success OF this
program depends upon the amount
of interest shown by people OF this
community.
All those who wish to enroll N
the Life Saving course, should get
in touch with Ray Steir, local dir
ector Of Recreational activities, i'm
mediately. This is splendid OPP
portunity for young men and wo-
men to gain first hand knowledge
| of life saving methods, essentially
| necessary in practically all walks
