POOR RELIEF REIMBURSE
MENT LAW UNCONSTITU-
TTONAL IN COURT DECISION

A tax plan, under which charity
has been financed in Stearns coun-
ty for some years, and many thou
sands Of dollars spent, has been de-
clared unconstitutional by the SUI
preme court.
It is the plan under which cities
like st. Cloud are made to help with
the charity expenditures of -=:.al'"r
townships, villages and cities.
Minnesota has provision for two
types of poor relief administration.
One Is known as the county sys-
tenn in which the county takes care
Of all the poor relief and the other
Is known as the township system
where each community takes care
of its own poor relief. Benton coun-
ty has the county system and
Stearns county has the township
system.
For many years prior to 1929
there was provision In the law
that in counties having the local
community or township system Of
poor relief the county would reim-
burse to the township, village or
city Of the fourth class three
fourths Of any disbursements ex-
pended by such local unit for poor
relief over the money raised by q

van secured an amendment to in
clude cities Of the third class, SO
as to include the City Of st. Cloud.
However, in 1880 st. Cloud be-
came a city of the second class so

of this amendment. Thus In coun-

A Sank Centre attack that flash
ed in a first half sustained drive
begged under terrific fire from
Little Falls quint Tuesday evening
and spelled defeat for the Harvey
men Is to 81.
Led by the spirited Arvig the 10
Gals passed that ball with precis-
ion during the first half as the
Galloping Ghost raced once more
into his old form. Fast breaks
found him going in time and again
for baskets as he accounted for 10
points alone during the first half.
He ranked high score man OF the
game with II points. The local play
in that first half found them sail
ing into first class competition In
meeting Little Falls on even foot
ing scoring IL points each during
those two periods.
Little Falls was quick to per-
ceive a situation that out Of con-
troll would mean loss for them.
Arndt, Little Falls center, was OBJ
viously unable to cope with the
heated streak that had suddenly
seized the racing Arwig. and Schil-
linger, guard, was switched to
watch Arvig. That switch in the
defensive ball of Little Falls mark
ed the decline Of Arvig's scoring
potency and ultimately Of the en-
tire local aggregation.
Led by Chadwick and Dengel Lit
tie Falls took advantage Of the
sudden turn Of events to do their
heavy scoring in the third period.
While the locals ran their total to
16, they shot past that mark to %
as the period closed. In the final
frame the locals were again in the
ascendancy in scoring when they
scored points to 4 for the Little
Falls crew. But 1t wasn't enough
to overcome the handy lead the
Falls men had piled up.
Fouling ran rampant in this
game Of fast breaking offensives.
Oldham and Perry, Little Falls,
were both retired from the game
with the quota Of four personal
fouls. This factor could have been
potent enough to give Sank Centre
this game. But converting only 8
out Of IA free throws the locals
tossed away their chances to win
the game.

KNUTSON'S TALK

When the Foreign Affairs Com

House bill to authorize $150,000 to
be used in providing for an Amer
lean exhibit at the forthcoming In
ternational Exposition at Paris,
which was to be in addition to the
$4,000 we have already spent on
that project, I spoke against its
passage, basing my opposition upon

Historians are agreed that Amer
lea stepped into the war at very
crucial hour, when the outcome
hung in the balance. Without the
help of America It is extremely
doubtful II the Allied cause could
have prevailed. Notwithstanding
the tremendous assistance given
the Allies by Uncle Sam we have
frequently been tainted with the
charge that we did not get into the
war until It was almost over. The
thousands Of graves Of young Ann
orleans who made the supreme
sacrifice on the Western front ut
terly refutes the falsenes OF such q
charge and the fact that the Allies,
except Finland, now owe us in prin-
cipal and interest % billion -143
million dollars, which none Of them
are attempting to pay, convicts
them of base ingratitude and an ut
ter lack of honor in international
dealings.
Before Europeans begin talking
about securing new credits in this
country they should pay what they
already owe us. The debts are so
old that I fear they have been for

in order to refresh their memories

Firemen 48; Sank Centre Sc


Strengthened by the return of
Pat Dubois and the addition of
Arney, champion basketball star to
the lineup, the Sank Centre indie
pendents took the Alexandria Fire
men to defeat Friday night. The
game was played on the local Jun
ior High Gym floor.
Every man on the local team con-
tributed his part to making victory
possible, and the locals clicked per-
fectly in their floor work. The high
score, 81 for the Sank Centreites
and 48 for the Alex Firemen, shows
that it was more of an offensive
game, however, some excellent
guarding was done at times.
Sank Centre led throughout tn,
fray with the first quarter ending
at Is to 6. During the second quar-
ter Sank Centre added II points to
their score for total Of "a, while
the visitors outscored them one
point bringing their total to IS.
During the third quarter the locals
added % points for total of 46,
while they held the visitors to IA
points. Going into the last quarter
with a lead of 46 to 80, victory was
apparent and promised to be made
easily. However, such was not the
case for Alexandria went on a scor-
ing spree and added 16 points to
their total. The locals garnered
eight points and the game ended
"a to 48.
Play was fast and clean through
out, with the locals holding the ad-
vantage at all times. Alex became a
threat in the last quarter, but
their drive was opened too late to
attain victory. All but one Of the
players Of the Sank Centre quint
added counters, and there were
many beautiful shots made during
the game. Sank Centre had a well
balanced team, one that would be
hard to defeat on any floor.

WOODERSON BREAKS
WORLD MILE RECORD
English Stars Time of 4:06.6
Beats Cunningham's Three.
Year-Old Mark.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, August o. Stanley
Wooderson, English track star, cracked
the world record for the 1-mile run
today by negotiating the distance in
4 minutes, 6.6 seconds in a specially
arranged handicap race. This clipped
two-tenths of second off the listed
record Of 4:06.8, made by the American
ace, Glenn Cunningham, at Princeton,
N. j., in 1884.
Wooderson is a club runner whose
chief previous claim to fame rested
on triumphs over New Zealand's Jack
Lovelock, Olympic $500 meters cham
pion. He failed to reach the Olympic
metric mile" final at Berlin last
Summer, due to an ankle injury.
Cunningham actually was clocked
in 4:06.7 when he raced to the world
record. That is the time accepted
by the Amateur Athletic Union. How
ever, the International A. A. F. does
not recognize tenth-second timing for
distances beyond the half mile.
Wooderson accomplished the record
with the benefit of pacing by two
runners who were given handicaps Of
IS and 10 yards and instructions to
set the fastest possible pace.
Wooderson was clicked in minutes
26 seconds at the haH-mile mark.
Thus hs covered the last $50 yards

AUTO THIEF KILLED
T0END WILD RIDE
Policeman Who Shot Him in
Hospital After Trip on
Running Board.

Il tried to make mystelf thinner
than a dime!
Il hung onto that running board,
trying to get thinner and thinner"
The fact that Policeman Earl l..
McNale lived to tell the story was
proof of his ability to compress his
body into small space, despite his
22O pounds.
Although the policeman's own life
was endangered by each lurch of the
stolen car to which he clung, he did
not resort to his service revolver, he
said, until convinced that pedestrians
in the street ahead might be run
down.
McNale had his gun in his right
hand. He had difficulty in bringing it
to bear on the driver of the stolen
car because his right arm was hooked
around the doorposts next to the
driver, who beat him in the face with
his fist at every opportunity.
MY right arm was what anchored
me to the car" McNale said today,
from his bed in Emergency Hospital.
Every time we crashed into a parked
car, thought the arm was going to
be torn from the socket"
Kills the Thief.
McNale said ne kept shouting to the
driver to halt. When he finally made
up his mind to shoot, the policeman
said, he had taken such a beating he
never remembered pulling the trigger.
He fired one shot through the head of
Walter Templeton, 20, colored, 100
block Of T street.
Templeton slumped over the wheel,
and the speeding car plunged out of
control into another parked machine
near Twenty-frst and N streets, about
10 O'Clock last night. The automobile
thief apparently was instantly killed.
The last crash tore McNale from the
running board and threw him into the
street. He was semi-conscious when
picked up and taken to the hospital
by his partner, Policeman H. S. Mont
gomery.
The car had been stolen about an
hour earlier, police reported, from Mrs.
Horace Hickman Of 1892 Decatur place.
McNale and Montgomery were
cruising in a No. precinct scout car
when they spotted the stolen auto
mobile. for which lookout had been
broadcast, as it came to a halt at
Twenty-second and N streets.
Tried to Scrape Him OF.
Montgomery was driving the police
cruiser. McNale leaped to the street,
ran over to the stolen car and ordered
the driver to. Stay where you are!"
The stolen car cut toward him, McNale
said, and he leaped to the running
board. AS the car gathered speed
McNale got out his gun.
The policeman said that Templeton,
instead of halting, cried, "Ill get
you," and headed for the curb to
scrape him of against the line of
parked cars. McNale flattened against
the machine to which he clung. In
the length of one block the stolen car
crashed into eight parked automobiles
as it Jagged, Montgomery reported.
Iempleton'S BODY was taken to the
Morgue pending an investigation by
the coroner's Office.
McNale, who is Al and lives at 1112
Montello avenue northeast, is under
treatment for a wrenched knee and

about the body. He is expected to be
