THIEVES MAKE
PARTY OF RAID
ON BEER SUPPLY
SCREW DRIVER is CLUE
TO BEER WAREHOUSE
VISITORS

A gang who made a party out
of the robbery stole approximate
ly 500 worth of beer from the
Fitger Brewery company's ware
house here Friday night. Before
leaving with the loot, they drank
a quarter key (eight gallons) of
80 beer which was on tap in the
place It was this fact that led
authorities to believe it was more
than One-man job.
The fussy thieves left other 80
beer for the Fitger company and
carefully selected picnics, cans
and bottles of strong beer to take
with them. In some cases it was
necessary to go behind stacks of
the weaker beer to obtain the six
per cent beer, but they did it.
Strong beer was evidently
their only interest as the safe
containing money had not been
tempered with and shotgun
which was in full view was left.
The theft was discovered by
Otto Melges early Saturday morn
ing and George Wilcox, an en-
plOyee, arrived shortly afterward.
They found the lock Of the front
door chiseled off and all four
outside doors of the place left
wide open.
A screw driver which fitted the
marks on the door was found at
the warehouse Tuesday.

Glencoe Wins Case
In Supreme Court

Glencoe-A decision of the dis
trict court was upheld by the
supreme court recently in the
matter of Alfred Wichelmann VS..
the city of Glencoe, a contest in
regard to the results of a special
election held last July.
MIR. Wichelmann, as a taxpayer,
contested the special election for
special municipal electric light
bonds in regard to absentee bal
lots. A hearing was held before
Judge A. B. Gislason in New Ulm
and he ruled the ballots out, thus
giving the bond election the nee
essary majority.
Certain taxpayers of Glencoe
interviewed and the appeal was
taken to the state supreme court
with the result that the district
courts decision was upheld.

Capture Deer on
Sleepy Eye Farm

Sleepy Eye-Longfellow's Hia-
Watha was a mighty deer hunter,
but he had nothing on John P.
Schmitz and Louie and Robert
Geiger of Sleepy Eye. Barehand-
ed the three captured a young
buck on the Geiger farm on the
north shore of Lake HanSka, 13
miles southeast of Sleepy Eye,
after it had been seen and chased
by score or more Brown county
farmers Lured into the Geiger
farmyard by feed, the deer was
Cornered and chased into a small
building where the three men sur
rounded, captured, trussed, and
otherwise took possession of the
animal and then carried it bodily
to box stall in the Geiger barn.
There it is being viewed daily by
scores of farmers and citizens
from nearby towns. Since the
buck was quite young, it is con-
sidered improbable that it wan
Gered this far south from north
ern woods, but since there has
been no report of loss from parks
in this section, the animals pres
ence remains a mystery.

Titanic Casualties Might Have Been Pre-
vented if Radiomarine Corporations Auto
matte Signal System Had Been Invented

1t was the Titanic disaster that
awakened steamship men and govern
ments of the world over to the neces-
sity of developing the use Of radio
at sea to the full. Since that night
in 1914 more and more stringent reg
ulations have been adopted by authori-
ties in regard to the use of radio at
sea, until today the last word in
those precautionary measures is the
radio automatic alarm.
An international convention for
safety of life as sea was held IN 1929
in London and ratified by a number
Of nations, Its provisions requiring the
maximum use on certain types Of ships
Of such fundamental radio safety de-
vises rs the direction finder and
emergency transmission equipment,
but our Congress did not ratify the
findings Of that convention until last
September. Hearings on the new
radio automatic alarm, designed to
comply with those findings, were held
in Washington last March before
engineers Of the Federal Communica-
tions Commission Tests on the device
had been concluded in December of
1895 by the Coast Guard, under the
supervision OF the Bureau OF Stand
ards, from their Sandy Hook station,
after two months trial on many types
OF ships with gratifying results.
The first automatic alarms were in
stalled on American vessels this
Spring, apd on July 10 the Communi-
Commission gave tentative ap-
proval to the device, subject to results
after one years use.
While developing tho automatic

months at time. We have only had
one long strike since 1888, and that
was for no more than three months
the maritime strike on the Pacific
Coast.
In the old days" she continued
thousands of people were affected
by these six and eight months strikes.
1t was not unusual for as many as
10000 workmen to be involved. We
have had a great many little strikes,
lasting sometimes for a few weeks or
less, and involving often no more than
200 or 300 employees I can give you
some interesting figures that will
make the picture clear and serve to
show that labor disputes are not so
serious as they once were. and, more
over, are now yielding more readily
to settlement.
"In 1895 only 788,e48 workers were
involved in 2,172 strikes, whereas in
1919 4,l60,348 workers were involved
IN $3.50 labor disputes. In 1927 the

alarm, beginning a few months after
the International Radiotelegraph Con-
Vention in Washington in 1927, the
Radio Corp. has perfected several
other types Of equipment. all designed
to make sea travel less precarious. In
cooperation with Dr. James H. KIM
ball Of the Weather Bureau. RADIO
marine engineers installed on board
several vessels of American and
foreign registry facsimile radio re-
corders for test in reception maps.
The data for these maps was trans
mftted by radio from numerous YES
sells on the North Atlantic route to
the Weather Bureau. The weather
information thus Obtained was COM
piled by DR.. Kimball in sea weather
map and this map was transmitted
by facsimile to the vessels equipped
with a newly invented recorder.
1t was found that the tests were
satisfactory throughout the voyage
and that 1t was an excellent method
OF keeping ships advised OF approach
ing hurricanes, icebergs, fog areas
and derelicts.
STRANGELY enough, foreign coun-
tries began using q radio alarm
device before America. Since the
Washington convention In 1927 there
have been installed more than $500
alarms on vessels flying the flags Of
every important maritime nation in
the world with the exception OF the
United States, which followed their
example this year

cient transmitting and receiving set
