REPLY IS GIVEN
TO RUSSIAN
ENVOY
Defends Four Power
Farley on Safety
For Ship Patrol

ONDON, June 10 U.NS0.
The British government has re-
piled sharply to Soviet Russia's
note to the International Com
mittee for Non-Intervention in
Spain, which sharply assailed
Naz Germany.
The British reply was delivered
to Soviet Ambassador Ivan Mai
sky, rejecting the Russian protest
and noting that the Russian dele
gate to the non.intervention COM
mittee did not object when the
committee authorized four-power
discussions regarding the naval
patrol around Spain.
Safety Sole Object
Britain further contended that
the bombing of the German bat
tleship Deutschland by Spanish
loyalist planes. which led to the
bombing Of Almeria and the
withdrawal of Germany and Italy
from the committee, concerns only
the naval powers participating in
the control scheme.
At the same time, the British
reply gave assurances the four
power discussions would not in
volve any modification Of the
fundamental system Of control,
and would be limited strictly to
guaranteeing safety for patrolling
ships.
The soviet note, however, ques-
toned whether the Deutschland
was In Spanish waters solely for
purposes of naval non-intervention
patrol.
Note Is Challenge
The note, delivered by Ambas-
sador Maisky, stated:
How can it be proved that
the Deutschland really takes
part in effecting naval patrol,
and IL 1t not stationed in Span
ish waters for altogether differ
emit purposes?
"The latter assumption finds
legitimate justification in the
fact that the Deutschland, as
well e. numerous other ships Of
Germany, were located i'm Span
ish waters long before the intro
ductiOn Of the scheme of naval
patrol"
Foreign Minister Anthony Eden
told the House of Commons the
British government never would
subscribe to repriSalS by any power
in Spain without prior consulta-
lions with the non-intervention
committee.

Beavers Complete
Dams on Buffalo.

Detroit Lakes-For the first time in
fifty years beavers are at work in Cuba
township near here, recently COM
plotting three dams on the Buffalo
river. Presence of the beavers in Cuba
township was reported to Detroit Lakes
by Knute K. Olson on whose farm the
dams were built. Two months ago he
suspected the beavers were at work
when he noticed that his poplar trees
were cut down. Then he saw dams
being constructed on the Buffalo river
which angles across his land Some of
the trees which have been chewed down
by the little animals measure 4 to 5
inches through. Most of the work ac-
complished by the beavers was done
either early in the morning or late at
night. Mr. Olson stated that the dams
are from Is to IS feet in length and
have raised the water in the river two
feet.

Kids" Wanted Second
Shouting of FaUOrite

The Ely Theatre had somewhat OF
a problem on its hands at the Sun
day afternoon matinees to care for the
crowd clamoring for admission to the
Shirley Temple picture Heidi"
The first show of the afternoon was
attended by over a thousand in a
theatre comfortably seating 900. The
larger part of the audience was COM
posed of children to see their favorite
on the screen.
With a crowd clamoring for ad-
mission to the second show, the
management had a hard time to make
room as the children comfortably
settled themselves to see the second
show. With strategy on the part of
Cal Nygaard, the manager, and the
leaving of the older members of the
audience, enough were induced to va
cate and make room for the newcomers.
To further add to the dilemma of the
manager, A. w. Baehr and Mrs. Baehr,
owners of the theatre, were here and
witnessed the jam.

Doctors Praise Officials
Who Traced Elixir,

The tragic deaths from elixir OF sui
fanilimide that have been reported in
the newspapers recently illustrate the
extreme danger involved in marketing
new, unstandardized and unapproved
drug compounds.
Minnesota was fortunate, according
to a bulletin on the subject issued to-
day by the Minnesota State Medical
Associations Committee on Public
Health Education, that so little of the
fatal elixir should have found its way
into the state The small shipments
that were discovered have been with
drawn, according to investigations made
by the committee, and great credit is
extended in the bulletin to the Food
and Drug Administration of the U. S.
Department of Agriculture for its eff
Gent work in tracing the compound.
Sulfanilimide, alone, appears to be
proving itself valuable new addition
to medicine in the hands of skilled
physicians 1t needs careful watching,
however, because it is capable of pro-
ducing serious reactions in many
patients. The elixir which caused more
than so deaths over period of two
months, made use of a solvent that is
often employed in industrial products
but that has never been thoroughly
and properly tested and approved for
medicinal use. 1t is the best belief
of the committee, based upon laboratory
findings of the American Medical
Association in Chicago, that the fault
in this instance lay with the solvent in
combination with the sulfanilimide and
not with the sulfanilimide, itself.

was shot last week in Ely Lake town.
ship by c. A. Ray, Grant county
auctioneer. This bird, young cock,
was of the mixed type. On the head
back and wings the predominating
color was white, while on the breast
and thighs the feathers were of the
natural colors. There was no evidence
of the customary ring about the neck.
One pronounced variation that the bird
had from the usual pheasant markings
was that its feet were pure white in
stead of dark color as is the usual
case. However, its shape conformed to
that of its species and it tasted like
an ordinary pheasant.

Historic Event Pictured
In "SOuLs At Sea" at State.

A trial of a sea captain which cleo
trified the world some ninety years ago
is powerfully and brilliantly brought
back to life in the epic motion picture
Souls at Sea- which shows at the
State Theatre on Saturday midnight,
Sunday and Monday
Played by an excellent cast headed
by Gary Cooper, George Raft and
Frances Dee, Souls at Sea" is the
story of "Nuggin" Taylor, an ex-slave
trader, played by Cooper, who hap
pened to be returning from England to
the United States on the brigantine
William Brown" In mid-Atlantic the
William Browns master, played by
Harry Carey, was killed and shortly
later the vessel caught fire. Because of
his rank, Taylor took command of the
vessel.
Realizing that there weren't enough
| life boats to take care of all the pas
sengers, Taylor held one of the wierdeSt
trials ever held on land or sea. He
| ordered the entire ships company and
decided who should be permitted to
escape in the life boats and who was
to remain behind and go to the bottom
with the ship. He included himself
among those to go to the lifeboatS, not
he Swore to the court later, because of
any cowardice, but inasmuch as be-
cause he was the only seaman among
the survivors and therefore the only
man who could bring the lifeboats
through safely.
The doughty captain brought the frail
craft in his charge through safely
at sea when he arrived on land. There
followed the famous trial which is now
recognized as one of the most sur
priSing in the annals of the sea.

lovely Miss Dee, was one of the pas
sengers aboard the William Brown,
and testified againS ther sweetheart be-
cause he had condemned her brother

tom. The outcome of this strange tria,
is as amazing as is the story itself, true
though itsbe. Suffice it to say that the
whole goes to make up one of the mos
satisfying motion pictures this reviewer
has ever seen.
