Your Correspondent had to go to
Melrose to get this tidbit--When
Coach Baumgartner. Melrose men,
tor, officiated at the Long Prairie
Sank Centre game here last week,
he returned to Melrose with nice

Broadway-for black eye.) Baum
tells the story-not any more than
he has to-that while two players
were jumping ball one of them
poked his elbow into his eye. Ina
CINE lots Of players have thought
Of 1t, only they haven't been lucky.
Anyway Baum's story isn't getting
by with the Melrose ways. He
might just as well tell the truth and
tell the boys he ran into a lamp

fell on the Hetzel, lowering In

A tumultuous cry that rocked

steps that makes Fred Astaire look
like an amachewer? 1t is reported
that the only thing Sharkey ever
pounded harder than his own chest
was steak-on the galley aboard

The General Motor strike is con-
cluded. 1t is not ended, it seems,
but the men will go back to work.
The settlement really amounts to
a six months truce during which
time the men will go back to work.
It is to be hoped that during these
six months some workable under
standing may be derived at so that
strikes of this kind will not hap
pen again.-Glenwood Herald.
Governor Benson threatens to
veto the proposed Loan Shark bill.
His contention Is that the passage
Of the bill would authorize loan
sharks to collect 30 per cent per
annum on small loans That sum,
the Governor believes, is too great
a tribute to pay for the use of the
money. We believe he Is right, and
that 30 per cent interest should not
be made lawful in this state. Most
borrowers have a hard enough time
paying six, five or four per cent

"Yon Can't Win"

Regardless of the particular activities in which

look ahead, with view to estimating the returns
which may be expected.
Unfortunately, many do not look ahead at all, or
if they do they fail to heed the warnings plentifuy
supplied by the experiences of others This is espec
tally true of those who decide to embark upon life
of crime.
Laying aside all moral considerations, and esti-
mating the rewards of a criminal solely in terms of
money health and comfort 1t strange that any
should try to beat such desperate game. Yet thous
ands try it and fail. They fail whether they ade
quatey punished by law not The daily fear of de-
lection and punishment is often worse than punish
ment itself. For this reason, many criminals give
themselves up when they can no longer stand the

CRIME ADMITTED
BY REV, NEWTON,
STATE CLAIMS
Murder Trial Is Called

The State today hoped to prove

murder trial Is a waste Of time be.

crime.
Having virtually completed its
circumstantial case against the
Baptist preacher for the Staying
Of Mrs. Maybelle Kelly, 45-year-old
mother Of two children, the prose
cution's next major move will be
an attempt to place his confession
IN evidence.
y SON BLASTS ALIBI
The gaunt, 51-year-old preacher
suffered a blow yesterday when
his own son, Noel, %, blasted the
alibi on which the defendant
leaned at the time of his arrest.
In evident agony for having to
testify against his father, the
youth said he had last seen him on
the night Of the Staying, July IL,
at 10 p. m. Previous witnesses said
Rev. Newton declared he had been
with his son until / q. m.
DAUGHTER TESTIFTEs
Several times during the inquisi-
ton, young Newton was on the
verge Of a breakdown. Tears filled
his eyes as he looked beseechingly
at his father. His voice clogged
and the judge admonished him to:
"Take your time, boy, take
your time"

foster daughter, also furnished .
sensation when she was called to
the stand. She told of Rev. New
tons unexplained departure from
home on the death night. The next
day, she said, he cautioned her not
to tell that he had been away.
$4,000 FOUND
And afterward he gave her, she
said. the envelope which was later
turned over to police and found to
contain most Of the $4,000 Of Mrs.
KellyS. The money. according to
the State, was to be used for an
elopeHnent with the preacher.
The State contends she was slain
at the start Of the trip when he
tried to back out.
Rev. Newton, although confess.
ing he killed Mrs. Kelly with a
hammer and then threw her body
in the Mississippi River, has since
indicated he will try to show he
did so only to escape a beating by
police after his arrest.

BOND EXCHANGE TO AID LOCAL BANK
Judge McEvoy Has Given Permission to Receiver

State Bank Commissioner Walter Perry, receiver for the Merchants Trust Company was today granted permission by Superior Court Judge Frank F.. McEvoy to exchange $1O,OO0 worth of debenture bonds il, the bankrupt international Match Corporation of New York for cap- ital shares in the International Match Realization Company, Ltd. which will be formed from the de- funct match corporation.
 The bank will be entitled to one capital share for each $500 worth of debentiire bonds held, or 10000 shares. Seventy-two per cent of the other debenture bond holders have agreed to the plan, according to Commissioners Perry. Judge McEvoy granted the motion, after special hearing yesterday. Dividends paid from the bankrupt company to the bank have amounted to $l,500.
 The reason for the formation of the Intentional Match Realization Company, Ltd. is to liQuefy certain assets in tn efuture, which if lique- fled now would have to be sacrificed at a price far below their value, More profit from the bonds Is fore- seen by the exchange. By not changing, the bond holders would only receive smaller dividends when issued from the bankrupt corpora Eini1. @ssr-t sifttsii.
