Cleveland Editor Praises Taft
AS New Type Of Candidate
Race Shonld Support

CLEVELAND, ohio--.sIf the New
Negro il to justify his claim for i
place In the political sun, il he is to
lead his people out Of the wilderness
Of unemployment, he then must
champion the cause Of new type
Of Office seeker" declared William
Q. Walker, Cleveland publisher. Mr..
Walker praised Robert A. Taft Of
Cincinnati as the type Of candidate
who should receive our support. Mr..
Taft Is candidate for the Republi-
can nomination for the United States
Senate.
In discussing the candidacy Of
Taft. Mr.. Walker said: have
heard much about the popularity OF
Judge Arthur Day. / am at q loss
to know upon what it Is based in so
far as our people are concerned.
While he has held many political
offices, in fact, has practically lived
on them, I fail to find that he has
appointed single Negro to amy
position under him. He has made
no contribution to any Of our in
stitutions. nor has he as judge
rendered any decision that causes
him to stand out as our friend.
by what, then, do we measure
friendship? Too many smiles are
deceitYul for US to be fooled by them.
II looks are to be considered, then
we are sunk, for our best friends
have not been good looking men.
Abraham Lincoln was one Of the
homeliest men ever to hold public
office, yet he did much for as.
Performance seems to be the only
yardstick ! can apply. BY their
fruits ye shall know them, il more
than q saying. 1t is the only sure
test we can put 10 any person,
whether candidate for public Office
| or plain citizen.
'The time has come when we must
stop kidding ourselves on the re1a-
tive merits Of men who seek public
Office. We should by this time have
had enough experience In sending
men to City Hall, the Legislature or
Congress because We like the way
they brush their hair, shake hands
or sing church songs. T2 man
hasn't hasn't done anything for u
before he becomes candidate you
may rest assured he isn't going tc
do much after he Is elected.
'sTn this day and time when we
are connected in some way with 81
business political and religious ac-
tivities Of the community, II Is hare
to find man or woman who is Of
public Office calibre who, In SONS
Of his connections has not had az
| opportunity to do something for Us
or some Of the causes we are Inter-
! eated in. What they have done be-
fore they seek public office, Is the
best indication of their interest II
I'm. All candidates are interested
| in US when they want our votes
| But, the man who believes in equal
| ity and justice for all, shows It II
his everyday life, and in the bust
ness he operated, or Is connnectet
with. Economic conditions In thi
country, are not going TO improv'
until we send to our law making
bodies. men who have some busines
success before entering the politica
field.

hearing at the request of Lloyd L.
Harkins. notary public, who is wit
Messing the dispositions under order of
the Federal court in Atlanta, where
Mr.. Farnsworth has instituted habeas
corpus proceedings for his release
Mr.. Harkins made his request after
Attorney Hawke had announced his
decision that the press should be
excluded. Under this unofficial exclu-
sion dispositions were taken from Dep
uty Marshal Robert L. Bonham and
Attorney William J. Hughes, jr., for
mer attorney for Mr.. Farnsworth.
Denial Repeated.
Mr.. Bonham later told reporters he
had repeated in substance deposition
he made in 1887 in which he denied
charges by FarnsWorth that the latter
had been coerced into pleading nolo
contendere (no defense) when brought
to trial in February of 1887. Farms
worth was charged with selling naval
secrets to japanese agents.
Mr.. Hughes was associated with
William E. Leahy as counsel for
Farnsworth when the prisoner entered
his dramatic plea before Justice James
M, Proctor in District Court.
FarnsWorth now claims that these
attorneys and other persons induced
him to make the mo defense" plea.
In the room, in addition to Mr..
Harkins, Defense Attorney Hawke and
stenographer, were Assistant United
States Attorney Fihelly and Mr. and
Mrs. Fred w. Farnsworth of Norwood,
Ohio, parents of the former lieutenant
commander.
Waiting to be heard were Attorney
Leahy, Mrs. Caroline Wimsatt Riley,
former secretary to Attorney Hughes:
Leslie G. Garnett, former United States
attorney: Samuel S. Beach, former as
sistant United States attorney; Attor-
ney Richard Tedrow, who represented
Farnsworth after MI. Leahy and Mr.
Hughes withdrew, and Earl H. Pen
dell. stenographer, who took notes dur
ing prior hearings here.
Sought Habeas Corpus Writ.
The proceedings here grew out of
an application by Farnsworth for
writ of habeas corpus against Warden
oOSepIl w. SANFORD OF tne Atlanta
Penitentiary, before Federal Judge E.
Marvin Underwood at Atlanta, on
September II. Farnsworth contends
his family and friends coerced him
into entering the no-defense plea in
District Court here in February, 1887.
Judge Underwood postponed the
hearing and authorized the Govern
ment to take dispositions here. On
October 10 the Atlanta jurist signed
an order authorizing todays pro-
ceedings. At the close of the taking
of dispositions on both sides, Mr..
Harkins will seal the documents and
transmit them to Atlanta, where the
final hearing is scheduled to be on
October 20. before Judge Underwood.
At the Atlanta hearing the former
naval officers parents testified that by
telegram they urged him to plead no
defense for the sake of his family.
Other friends and relatives urged a
similar course, so he allegedly acted
against his own will, he contends.

ADJOURN HEARING
ON FARNSWORTH
Step Taken After Lawyer
Acts to Ban Reporters
From Proceedings.

A hearing for the taking Of deposi-
tions to determine whether John S.
Farnsworth, former naval officer, was
coerced into pleading nelo contendere

journed abruptly here today pending
a decision by the District Court as to

there. Attorney George S. Hawke of
Cincinnati, Ohio, Mr.. Farnsworth's at

that the presence of reporters would

F. c. C. DENIES PLEA
ON ARLINGTON RADIO
Holds Area Near Clarendon Is
Adequately Served by
Broadcast Service.

The Federal Communications Com
mission, in decision handed down
yesterday, denied the application of
Arlington Radio Service, Inc, for a
permit to construct new station near
Clarendon, in Arlington County, Va.
The commission based its action on
four grounds. These Are that the
applicant is not financially qualified
to undertake to build and operate the
station proposed; that the area pro-
posed to be served is already well
supplied with broadcast service; that
the evidence fails to establish public
need for the service proposed, and the
granting of the application would not
serve the public interest, convenience
or necessity.
The commission said that it was
shown that the authorized capitaliza-
tion Of the applicant is only $4,000
and that, although the stock has been
subscribed for, nothing has been paid
thereon. The opinion added that the
amount which the applicant proposes
to borrow before it will have any
money in its treasury is far in excess
Of its total capitalization.

Fairfax Man
Killed When
Truck Tips
OLIVER GJERDAHL, %
BASEBALL STAR, is
ACCIDENT VICTIM

Fairfax-Oliver Gjerdahl, 25,
was killed when thrown from the
gravel truck he was driving and
crushed beneath it as it over
turned on the road which separ-
ates Bandon and Wellington
townships three and one-half
miles north of here about 2 p. m,
Monday.
His companion, Harold Schroe-
der, was unable to give many de-
tails of the accident as he was
knocked unconscious when the
truck apparently got out of con-
troll in loose gravel, crossed to
the left and over the edge of the
road, then recrossed the road and
overturned, righting itself in .
field to the right.
When Schroeder recovered, he
found himself alone in the truck
Getting out he found Gjerdahl,
badly injured, lying in the road
way. Apparently he had been
thrown out and caught under the
overturning truck.
Schroeder ran to a farm house
and finding no one there, rushed
to a second place before help
could be secured. Gjerdahl was
put into a car and taken to Fair
fax but was dead when the party
reached the village.
He was active in sports and a
member of the Fairfax baseball
team. Playing with the team
against Hector Sunday, he made
three home runs.
He is survived by his parents,
Mr.. and Mrs. Gunder Gjerdahl, a
sister Mrs. Donald Bolander and
half brother and sister, Joe
Ellevold and Mrs. Leonard Ode
gard.
Funeral services are being held
this afternoon at the home and
at Our Saviour's Lutheran church
in Fairfax with Rev. c.. o. Wang
berg officiating.

Library Use
On Increase
NON-FICTION GROWING
IN POPULARITY AT
INSTITUTION HERE

A growing use of library facil-
tiles by Redwood Falls residents
and an increasing interest in nom
fiction publications on the part of
readers were noted in the annual
report of Irene Holland, librarian,
presented at a meeting of the Ii
brary board Tuesday night.
An increase of ISL volumes
circulated was reported, a gain
of 661 in the school library and
500 in the public library division
in the year.
School library statistics show
that 1889 books were circulated
1905 in the elementary grades
and junior high, 1924 in senior
high school. The figures repre-
sent a circulation of Is per capita
In the public library 1850
adult books were circulated and
6,727 juvenile volumes, total OF
1897.
The library now includes 4,258
volumes in the public circulation
section, 2,721 in the school divi-
sion, total of 6,979. Flfty-tWo
magazines are carried.
The city library appropriation
paid for 273 new books and the
reminding of Ga old ones and
placed Redwood Falls high in its
class of cities regarding library
facilities" according to Miss Hell
land.
Non-fiction circulation has in
creased in both juvenile and
adult classes, she says.
, Miss Holland was reelected as
librarian at the meeting.

extending another half or three
quarters of a mile north before
angling across to the New Avon
Methodist church, only a short
distance and then coming straight
north along a township road to
the Ralph Weeks farm just south
of Redwood Falls where it will
angle west slightly to enter the
city on Mill street. .-.
The city has approved grade
changes from the city limits to
Flynn street which include rails
ing the street where lit crosses the
c and NV tracks and probably
moving one hydrant. No deci-
sion has been announced as to the
grade between Flynn and Third
street where the paving begins.
Highway II from the south
ern state line to Wadena is part
of the American Highway, favor
lite tourist route from Mexico City
to Winnipeg, which is well i'm
proved except for several Mime
sofa sectors. The part soon to be
under construction is one of the
poorest. 1t has been extremely
difficult to keep the road cleared
of snow in winter Throughout
the spring sectors have been
closed to heavy traffic and were
often impossible or nearly so for
even light cars. Even in summer
and fall the road has been fam
Gus for its roughness.
Civic and Commerce associa-
ton and Lions club committees
here have worked continually on
the project for several years and
will undoubtedly continue efforts
to have the route hard surfaced
as soon after grading as is ieas-
ible. Encouragement for the ear
ly surfacing of the route was seen
IN the calling for bids at the same
time on g mile of paving, COM
prising 5000 square yards, in the
city of Willmar. Also to be paw
ed there is a "a miles sector of
highway II.
Another project included in the
estimated '$1,63O,00O of highway
work to be let August IL is 10.2
miles section of highway II be-
tween Northome and Gemmell in
Koochiching county which will be
gravel surfaced. This is not part
Of the American highway.
Paving of highway IA between
Nicollet and CORTLAND also will
be included in the letting, the
job calling for 84,939 square
yards of concrete on a IL miles
stretch, plus 1929 cubic yards of
subgrade excavation and 10,065
cubic yards of backfll and lift
material.

Power Firm
Buys Second
Large Diesel
GREATER EFFICIENCY
PREDICTED AFTER
PLANT CHANGES

Improved service, maintenance
Of even voltage and efficiency in
, emergencies will be assured with
the use of several thousands of
dollars worth of new equipment
being installed at the Redwood
Falls Light and Power company
plant.
A $50 horsepower Diesel,
weighing so tons and capable of
generating 800 kiloWatts per
hour, will replace an old steam
engine which has not been in use
the last few years. The new ma
chine is being built at Beloit,
Wisconsin by the Fairbanks
Morse company.
j. L. Parsons, plant superin-
tendent and A. c. Burmeister,
owner, plan to go to Beloit to
watch economy tests on the giant
machine before it is brought to
Redwood Falls.
The new Diesel is a duplicate
of the one installed three years
ago and in use now.
Concrete slabs will be used to
raise the entire floor level of the
engine room to the As inch height
of the platform on which the
three-year-old Diesel now stands.
Fuel tanks are placed under the
slabs.
The entire switchboard at the
plant is being rebuilt Opera
tons will be more flexible and
diScOnnecting individual services
for repair will be facilitated
When remOdeling and installa-
ton is completed there will be
much less chance of current be-
ing shut off entirely in an emer-
genCy.
An old $50 horsepower boiler
is being dismantled and feed
water pumps moved to the room
in which it stood.
