today found the Rev. William C..
McCollum, 48.year-old disciple Of
Aimee Semple Mcpherson, not
guilty of criminally attacking a
14year-old girl.
The IL men jurors, who retired
last night in a deadlock, quickly
reached a decision today.
DEFENDANT ABSENT
Judge Casper Platt was aroused
from his sleep and he went to the
courtroom to hear the verdict.
The defendant was not present.
McCollum had been charged
with Seducing Retha Miller, a
member of his congregation. He
categorically denied the charge, de-
claring he was preparing a ser
mon at the time.
The prosecution would not say
whether they would proceed
against McCollum on a charge
that he had assaulted Retha's 16-
year-old sister, Mildred.
THREATS ARE CHARGED
Retha, in childishly ingram
NAUTICAL phrases, told with
out emotion how Rev. McCollum,
had led her into the bedroom
of his home after sending his
young son and her brother out to
play.
-Afterward, she testified, he
threatened her:
'Retha, don't you ever tell.
Because, if you do tell, it'll mean
your death. will kill you He
said them words to me-

Snow Costs The
State Large Sum
Record Fall Measures to
Depth of More Than 100
Inches in Part of State.

The heavy SHOWS which last WIN
er covered the state of Minnesota
from it's southern to its northern and
from its western to its eastern boun-
daries to set a 50-year precipitation
record, cost the Minnesota Highway
Department S1,215,514 for snow re-
moval the first three months of 1887,
or S188,679 more to keep open than
in the same period last year. The
figures are from the maintenance di-
visions report to N. w. ElSberg, state
highway commissioner. The expense
for the first three months in 1886 was
S1,026,835.
Snowfall reached a depth of 1922
inches g 1-3 feet at Brainerd, &C
cording to highway reports, while
Detroit Lakes reported 1O41a inches
and Morris had 80. Heaviest drift
ing occurred in and near Morris and
Willmar, while Marshall and Window
were also deep in the drift country
Minnesota had the wettest winter
since 1891, according to federal
VI DCSClllOCl, Od1l-
uary and February, the average pre-
cipitation in the state was 1856, COM
pared to normal average of 2.28 for
those months. Snowfall ranged from
60 to 70 inches in most parts of the
state.
Total snow removal expense in
1886 on state highways was $1,406,-
BIG, January to December inclusive
To date in 1887, the department has
spent $1,215,514 and to this must be
added, in computing the total for the
year, $274,000 for erection and dis
mantling of some six million feet
of snow fence. Of this approximately
$24, 900 was for new fence, although
a comparatively small amount was
purchased last fall To its 1887 ex-
pense, the department must add
whatever it will cost to keep high
ways open in October, November and
December next fall.

The Prison Farm
Apparently Sure
Sandstone Committee Gets
Wire That Fund Bill
Passed Senate.

It now looks almost sure that Sand
stone will at last get its Prison Farm.
The appropriation bill, which was
passed by the House of Representa-
tives recently but which has been
lying in committee in the Senate,
was passed by that body Wednesday
afternoon and now awaits the Presi-
dents signature.
United States Senator Henrik Ship
stead notified A. S. Larson of the
Sandstone Prison Farm committee as
to the passage by the Senate. Mr..
Larson was in Washington over the
weekend checking up on the pro-
ject's status.
The project looks SO sure now that
contractors who were awarded the
construction job have started to pur-
chase material for the work. If the
bill, which carries the needed addi-
tional 100000 for the prison, is
signed by President Roosevelt, it is
thought that construction will be
commenced Immediately.
1t has been long-drawn out af-
fair since the first selection of the
site for the farm, but the proper
reward for all efforts expended is
apparently near collection Besides
bringing several new and permanent
families as residents to the Sand
stone community, the erection of
such project will cause somewhat
of boom in the Quarry City area.

Extension Agent
On Full Tim e
Board Votes $500 for
Program as the Farm Blu

List.
Gravel and Shovel Bids for
County Road Work are
Rejected; Sidewalk Bid
Let to Black.

In regular session at Pine City
Tuesday, the Pine county board of
commissioners voted to appropriate
$500 for an extension program which
will enable the county to have a full
time county agent. Chris. Frederik-
sen, heading the Farm Bureau COM
mittee which had worked for the
program during the past several
weeks submitted list of 263 signers
toward the project which tops the
required 200 at 81 each.
In voting on the proposition the
board acted in favor of the project
after it was found that full time
program and agent will cost the
county no more than it has been
costing for the emergency part time
agent. The county has been spend
ing $500 a year toward that pro-
gram. L. A. Churchill of the Ex-
tension Division, St. Paul, was pres
ent and explained the setup, saying
that full time man would be in
a permanent office in Pine county
and that his salary would be paid
by the Division. He will be avail
able for All Club work and general
farm help and advice, together with
looking after the work done by the
county agent at present

Mosque of Omar, SOlOn,On's
Temple is Inspiring Place
Merchant Gives
Interesting account Of
His Visit to Holy Place at
Masonic Meeting.

Joseph H. Klein, who during
the past winter took a trip to
Europe, Asia and the Holy Land,
responded to an invitation of the
Sandstone Masonic lodge Mon
day night and rendered an inter-
esting and inspiring talk. Mr.
Klein also presented to the lodge
beautiful, large oil painting of
the Mosque of Omar. His talk
follows.
First of all allow me to tell you
of the hazards involved for one of my
religious belief to gain admission to
this famous holy place, the Mosque
of Omar where no Jew is permitted
by the Moslems to enter, where the
orthodox or very religious type of
Jew will not enter. According to
tradition valuable vestments of Jew
ish nature lay buried underneath this
famous old religious and holy place.
The original Torah, the Law of
Moses, and if you please, the Old
Testament was supposed to have been
written in the classic Hebrew, lies
buried underneath the Mosque of
Omar, hence as stated above it would
be considered sacrilegious according
to tradition for Jew to trample or
walk upon these valuable deposits.
OF course the more modern Jew or
the iberal-thinking Jew, will put
aside tradition and gain admission if
possible. On the other hand, as l
have already told you the Moslems
are very much opposed to the Jews
entering. In the first place with the
Jews of the entire world always and
everlastingly praying that their Tenn
pie be reconstructed and restored to
its former uses as of old, hence it
would mean that the Mosque would
have to be torn down or DESTROYED
to make room for the new temple.
Hence the hottest of all holy places
to the Moslems would be lost. so
you can hardly blame the Moslems
for their ill feeling towards the Jew
in this respect.
Then again the Moslem and Jews
recent differences is another great
reason for not allowing the Jew to
enter the holy of all holes. It was
necessary for me to get an Arab
guide, who was recommended to me
by an influential non-Jew in Jeru-
salem. The guide called at my hotel
on the morning of my proposed tour

their 50th wedding anniversary
which took place on April IA, 1887,
in Trenton, Ontario, Canada. While
the anniversary really was on We'd
nesday of last week, open house was

Canada.
Built up Several Farms.
Three years after they were mar
ried, Mr.. and Mrs. Patrick moved
to Hinckley where Mr. Patrick was
connected with the Bremen Lumber
Co. until the time of the Hinckley
fire. They are two of the few re-
naming residents of Hinckley who
survived the fire.
Three children have come to make
happy the home of the Patricks, but
Roy passed away two years ago.
The other two are Mrs. Manford Mel
son of Askov, and Frank of Hinck-
ley. There are four grandchildren.
Mr.. Patrick has cleared and farmed
several large farms in the Hinckley
vicinity and he has also conducted
general store on two different oc-
casions and was at one time post
master of the village. For several
years he owned a warehouse and
bought and sold potatoes. For the
past three years he has been county
commissioner and at the last annual
meeting of the board was chosen as
the 1887 chairman.
Mrs. Patrick, through all of the
years of their residence in the COM
munity, has taken her place truly
alongside her husband; she has kept
the home happy with a considerable
and kind mothers care and she has
been active in various social and
charitable organizations. Up to the
present time she has maintained an
interest in the Episcopal Guild, a

Women's W age
Law Held Valid
By W. S. Erwin
Attorney General Rules on
the Minnesota Act by Re-
quest of State Industrial
Commission.
Entire Act is Operative for
Women and Minors After
Recent Reversal by u. S.
Supreme Court.

In compliance with request from
the State Industrial Commission, At
torney General William S. Erwin
during the past week issued an opin-
ion declaring MinneSota's old mini
mum wage law which affects women
and minors in industry, and which
has been imperative since 1928, to
be operative and valid. The attor-
ney generals opinion follows:
You ask us to advise you as TO
whether it is now your duty to en-
force that portion of Chapter 54I,
Laws of 1918, pertaining to the reg
ulation of minimum wages of adult
women.
The minimum wage law of Mimi
esota was passed in 1913. 1t pro-
vides for the appointment of COM
mission called a minimum wage COM
mission with authority to investigate
the wages paid women and minors IN
any occupation in the state, to hold
public hearings as to wages, profits
and other pertinent conditions OF an
industry or occupation, and to sum-
mon WllIleSSSS dllO SOiiipSi tiiS PiO-
duction of books, papers and other
evidence. The powers and duties OF
the minimum wage commission were
transferred to the industrial commits
sion in 1921 as a part of the func-
tions of the division of women and
children in the department of labor
and industries, and the minimum
wage commission was abolished.
claws 1921, Chapter "a; Mason's
MINI. ST. 1927, Sections 4210-4213).
If after investigation of any occu-
patton the industrial commission is
of the opinion that the wages paid
to one-sixth or more of the women
or minors employed therein are less
than living wages" the commission
is required to proceed to establish
legal minimum rates of wages for
said occupation. The rate so eStab-
lished may be made applicable to the
entire state or within any area of the
state if differences in the cost of liv-
ing warrant such a restriction.
The validity of the minimum wage
act came before the Supreme Court
of Minnesota in 1917 in the case of
Williams V. Evans, 139 MINI. 80,
which was brought by taxpayer to
restrain the minimum wage commits
sion from expending any state money
in carrying out the provisions of the
act The nature of the action was
such as to bring before the court the
question as to the validity of the en-
tire act.
State Can Regulate.
1t was alleged that the act inter-
fered with the right to contract and
in so doing resulted in depriving all
parties to a labor contract of lib
erty without due process of law, in
violation of the Fourteenth Amend
ment. But the court pointed out that
the liberty to contract is not an abso-
Lutte right, but subject to the pow
er of the legislature, in the exer-
else of its police power, to pass laws
