Two PrOprietOrs
Of Taverns Fined

Two of three Nicollet county
tavern operators who were arrest
ed during raid staged by Sheriff
John A. johnson several weeks
ago, were fined on charges of
maintaining public nuisances.
They appeared before Justice of
Peace Pat Burns in st. Peter
Wednesday afternoon of last
week.
A. F. Tschohl of the Apple Or
chard Inn, near Mankato, was
fined SIS and costs on the public
nuisance charge and agreed to
close his night club permanently
at the request of county officials.
Edwin Kitzberger of CORTLAND
village was fined SIS and costs
on the same charge. Tschohl was
his own counsel during his ap-
pearance in justice court. George
Erickson of New Ulm defended
Kitzberger.
z. A. Crone of the Black Drag
on cafe on highway number IA,
near New Ulm, who was also ar
rested during the raid on the Nj
collet county taverns, has not yet
appeared in court. He is charged
with possession and sale of intox-
icating liquor without license.
Sheriff johnson again reiterat-
ed his warning to county taverns
and cafes against the operation of
gambling devices and, in partic-
ular, slot machines. During the
raid several weeks ago, two of
these machines were confiScated,
one at the Apple Orchard Inn and
the second at Kitzberger's cafe.

EARLY DRIVING
PERMIT FOUND

Mankato-The days when hor-
ses SHE'D at automobiles and the
new machines attained tremen-
dous speeds of more than IL miles
an hour are recalled by the recent
discovery by Mrs. Carl Ingwalson
of Mankato of what was perhaps
one of the earliest driving permits
issued in that city. The permit,
issued in 1916, grants the privil-
ege of driving an automobile
through the cemetery, subject to
a dozen regulations. Aid in quiet
ing horses which became unman-
ageable at the sight of the mach
inc was required of the driver
who invaded the cemetery with
his car in those days. When the
cars were stopped, engines must
be stopped and cars had to be
driven with closed mufflers so as
not to give off smoke. The speed
limit was fixed at six miles an
hour, with cars driving in the rear
of horse-drawn vehicles in funer-
al possessions.

Firemen Called
To Chase Snakes

Calls to take cats from tele-
phone poles, drag horses out of
the river, pull squirrels out of
trees and crank cars for the ladies,
are not unusual for members of
the Faribault fire department, but
a new one for the records is to
hunt snakes out of attics. When
firemen arrived at private home
on request, they saw two dead
snakes had been taken from the
attic. Because the family was
afraid of more snakes, the firemen
conducted thorough search to
determine that it was the end of
the snakes. The reptiles had en-
tered with camping equipment
stored there after having been
allowed to remain on the ground,
tied up, for several days.

BOILER LAW

A House District subcommittee
today was urged by District Of
ficials to enact a new boiler in
spection service bill which would
eliminate the last fee officeholder
in the District.
E. Barrett Prettyman, corpora
tion counsel for the District, and
Captain Hugh Dram, director Of
construction, recommended pas
sage Of the measure.
Under the present law, they
pointed out, there is one boiler in
spector who inSpectS each boiler
under his Jurisdiction in the Dis
trict once annually. receiving a IS
fee for each inspection.
The District officials explained
that the principal purpose of the
new measure would be to eliminate
this fee office and set up q boiler
inspection service which would be
self-supporting.
w. I. Green, representing local
Union No. 102, of the Interna-
tional Union Of Operating Engi-
neers, proposed several amend
ments, designed primarily, he,Said,
to place the main burden of boiler
inspection on the District inspec-
tors rather than on inspectors for
insurance companies.

AIRP0RTBOARD
TO BE ASKED

Legislation providing for a spe-

port for Washington is expected
to progress this week.
At the request of Representa-
tive Jack Nichols CD Of Okla
homa, a House confereee on the
measure, Representative Jennings
Randolph DO Of West Virginia,
chairman Of the House subcom-
mittee which orgnally handled
the bill, has summoned his COM
mitteemen to meet this afternoon,
The subcommittee will attempt
to compromise the differences
Of the House and Senate on the
matter.
The Oklahoman said he has de-
cided to place the matter before
the subcommittee, rather than
merely try to draft the compro-
mise himself, so that when he
takes the compromise to the Sen
ate conferees he can have the
backing Of his committee.
Senator Millard Tydings CD, OF
Maryland, chairman Of the Senate
conferees, expressed the belief
that a compromise can be worked
out without much difficulty and
that action by both houses should
be obtained before long.

GERBER PLEA

Justice Jennings Bailey in Dis
trict Supreme Court today refused
to interfere with the sale Of the
drug store in the Shoreham
Building and the leasing to its
present owner of the space it oc-
cupies.

porated, to fulfill the terms Of 8
contract of sale and lease made
in May, 1884, which he claimed
had been accepted by the COM
pany, owner Of the building,
through a vice president.

Hurley flew from New York in
a blizzard to testify that the al
legged lease had never been signed
