Officers Involved
In Jordan Case
Are Penalized

The case of two police officers
charged with beating two Mime
apolis citizens reached possibly its
final stage Wednesday when it was
learned that the two detectives, E.
R. Jones and Arthur Uglem, would
be removed from the North Side
district by Chief Forestal.
Miss L. o. Smith, Mill City at
torney, handled the case. John F.
Thomas headed the citizens group
which pushed the case.
Miss Smith was retained on the
matter, but before she could con-
tact Jordan he had already pleaded
guilty to the drunk charge and was
sentenced. The attorney was sue
cessful in having the sentence set
aside and the Court permitted Jor-
dan to enter a plea of not guilty
and at Miss Smiths request he was
released without bail until the
hearing which was set for July
22nd. At that time the case was
again postponed at the request Of
the City Attorney to August 4th.
Miss Smith prepared for tria

The Twin City Golf Club has ev-
erything in readiness for the sew
enth annual championship tourna-
ment of the Central States Golf AS
ISOLATION which will be held in St.
Paul Sunday, at the Keller Course.
A brilliant array of golfers from
Topeka, Des Moines, Omaha, St.
Louis, Kansas City and the Twin
City Club, are expected to be on
hand for the annual struggle.
The title competition for the
first four years was a case of
Champion Charley Howard, of Des
Moines, against the field. How
ever, when Sam Sheppard, of st.
Louis, downed him in 1885 in a
brilliant stretch finish and Rich
ard Young, also of st. Louis, re-
peated the following year, the
championship struggle has been a
wide open affair. The scramble
here Sunday appears to be a wide
open affair with at least 10 of the
out-of-town stars rated an even
chance to cop the event, to say
nothing of the local lads which will
number some 20 strong.
Kansas City to Send Number
DR.. Eugene Rummons, Leroy
Doty, George McClain, Bill Elliott
and Vertis Barnes are coming from
Kansas City. Rummons, Doty and
McClain have between them held
the Kansas City title for the last
six years. Doty is the present
champion having dethroned Rum
mons in a play-off last month after
they had finished in a tie at the
end of regular play.
Sixty-fve-Year-Old Golfer
Topeka will be represented by
Thompson, Healing, French and
Queenery. French is one of the
oddities in that he is able to hold
his own in spite of his IS years of
age.
Des MOines Set
Des Moines will send some sharp
shooters in Ex-champion Charles
Howard, Jack Howard, Mcclure,
Todd and Jones. The first named
are strong championship contend
ers; nothing would please the ge-
NAL Charley Howard more than to
ascend the throne once more after
a two years absence.
Richard Young, the defending
champion, will come from st.
Louis to try to carve another leg
on the beautiful trophy. He has
not had much golf this season be-
cause of an appendectomy early in
June but apparently has shaken
out the cob-webs and will be in
mid-season form. Sam Shepard,
Eugene Woods, Williams Alexan-
der, and Edgar Cash are other
Mound City golfers who will be on
hand.
The local lads have been getting
in shape also, chief contenders for
the title being James Crowder, John
Williams, Hezzy Allen, Tommy
Donaldson, Jimmy Murray and
Bert Davidson. The following men
are expected to be pastors in the
second fight: Jimmy Hughes,
Chas. Noble, DR.. Crump, Percy
Hughes, Don Brady, Bert Smith,
Albert Black, Harvey Moss, Two

To my mind the purposes of the

wholly consistent with each other and
can be related together to the benefit
of agriculture and the Nation.
At the request of both your COM
mittee and the Senate Agriculture
Committee, Secretary Wallace and
his aides in the Department of Agri-
culture who have had experience in
administering farm programs in the
past have been making studies which
know will be of great assistance to
you in shaping the new law. With
their help, and the added counsel OF
practical farmers throughout the
Nation, am confident that your COM
mittees and your fellow members can
draft permanent legislation that will
serve the Nation for many years to
come
