VICTIMS STORY
SHERIFF r. Stamper, 20, Of I'LL
Tenth st. N. W., victim of the rob-
berry, told police that he met the
three men in front Of a Ninth
Street beer parlor early this morn
ing.
He was hazy about details. but
said he found himself in an auto
mobile with the men, driving
around nearby Virginia territory
for several hours.
The men threatened him, he
said, and robbed him OF about
$3.50. They made him take off his
shoes and socks to see if he had
any money concealed. Later they
returned to Washington and
pulled into a service station at
Thirteenth and K Streets North
west to have a flat tire repaired.
MAKES ESCAPE
While waiting, he said, one of
the men took him to lunch room
to get a cup of coffee. He sud-
denly ran from the place, and fled
to another lunch room, where he
borrowed a coin from an attend
ant and called police.
He gave the wrong address. and
the scout car went to Thirteenth
and L Streets Northwest. Finding
nothing wrong there, the car
cruised around until Stamper
hailed it and told of the robbery.
They drove to the service station to
see the suspects driving away, and
the chase followed, ending in the
arrest of the three men.

Anothef angle Of the MARYLAND
primary race came up at yeste4day'a
meeting, when the committee IN
nounced its conclusion that the
dropping of Henry w. Webb as Mary
land State director Of the Federal
Housing Administration was not due
to refusal to support Mr.. Lewis. The
committee stated:
"As to the request Of A. E. Hun.

cratic senatorial, nomination in the

instance where we have discovered
what appeared to be violation Of
the law in this regard"
"No Excuse For It."
When the issue went before the
committee again yesterday at its first
meeting in several weeks, Mr.. Morgen-
thau's letter brought this sharp re-
sponse:
'"Tne committee has considered the
reply Of Secretary Morgenthau Of
September 16 to the letter OF the
committee of September IL to Secre-
tary Morgenthau, submitting the

M. Hampton Magruder, collector of
internal revenue at Baltimore. The
committee does not agree with the
position taken by the Secretary. On
the contrary, the committee believes
the action Of the collector of internal
revenue at Baltimore was a violation
Of the spirit, If not the letter, Of the
law, that it was a breach Of the
Treasury Departments own regula-

severely condemned The committee

ury Secretary, who, on September 10,
advised Chairman Sheppard, Demo-
crat, Of Texas that no further action
was planned by the department. In
that letter Mr.. Morgenthau told Sen
ator Sheppard in part:
II have taken careful note Of the
finding of your committee that Mr..
Magruder's action was in violation OF
the spirit of paragraph 6 Of section 2,
Of the Civil Service Act

"Mr. Magruder's statement in. his
af1idavit that the document be read
to the non-Civil Service employees of
his Office had previously been ap-
proved by his superiors in the Treas

the facts. Not only the document,
but the use he made Of it, had de-
partmental approval.
I'm response to your request for a
statement as to what action I intend
to take in this matter, please be ad-
vised that I am unable to discover
any reason for any further action on
my part. AS to the attitude of the
Treasury Department with respect to
political activity by Treasury en-

September 9 and to the regulations
of the department, copies of which
have been sent you. The document

more, Jim Arneson, who moved in
to shoulder with veteran Hilary
Egan as the outstanding local
linemen of the evening.
Power Of the Johnnies was coag-
ulated in their precision and tim
ing, their crisp blocking, their hard
charging line and backs. Stellar
was this man johnson, who easily
doomed as one Of the shiftiest backs
local fans have seen. Complementing
his stiffness were Van Buren,, half
back, fullback Blenker, who block
ed and drove in power charges ov-
er the line. Important defensive
men were co-captain Marx, guard,
and Dennis, at the right tackle slot.
The first quarter was series of
two touch down double-quick
marches for the Johnnies. In the
first succession Sank Centre found
the running plays bottled with the
faster charging Johnny line break
ing through. They went to passes
and were forced to punt. The John
MES started from their own forty.
With Johnson, Van Buren, and Blen-
ker cutting off four plays Blenker
scored. Johnson kicked the goal.
Cokeley met the kickoff with a
run back of 10 yards and Sank Cen
ire started from their own 40 yard
line. Johnny guards streamed
through for three successive plays,
stopped the attack before it formed.
Pangburn punted out short to the
midfield stripe.
Then johnson took five yards
when Egan brought him down. He
streaked again to the IS yard stripe.
Van Buren, moved it to the % yard
line. Blenker charged through the
center of the line to the 10 yard
line. johnson punched to the 5
yard line, Blenker moved to the one
yard line. And the quarter ended.
Hoffman and Ziegler were retired
with minor injuries. A banged ank-
lie was bothering captain Denny
Ethun before the first touchdown
march had jelled.
The opening play of the second
quarter, with Van Buren, executing
a spinner, crashed over for the
touchdown. Johnson converted on
the placement.
From the kickoff Sank Centre
started from their own 35 yard line
An incomplete pass from Kringen
to Pangburn brought the ball back
to the point Of original start. Ethun
fumbled and lost five yards. Pang.
burn on a short punt gave it to
the Johnnies on Sank Centre As
yard line.
Johnson plunged in for three
yards. Verkennis, sub halfback,

caught from behind in the first
play. Pangburn, behind his own
goal, tried a dangerous pass to
Kringen, marked incomplete. Pang-
burn punted out to the 80 yard line.
Then Blenker began a relentless
push to the goal. He cracked for
eight yards. Lehnen was caught
behind the line on an attempted
pass as the quarter ended. Kring-
en- had mussed up that pass and
recovered the fumbled ball.
Now Sank Centre. who had lost
20 yards on the exchange of punts,
started from their own thirty. Neiss
batted down Kringen's attempted
pass behind the line. Pangburn
threw the ball away when he was
rushed on passing. Another intend
ed for Rasmussen was no 60, when
the end was literally bottled. Pang-
burn punted out.
Stannard ran back the punt to
midfield. Verke is, cracking
Egan's tackle, was brought down
from underneath by Egan. Two
penalties on the Johnnies gave Sank
Centre their initial first down when
the ball moved back to the 20 yard
line. They punted out, and Kring-
en- fumbled on the runback and the
Johnnies recovered. A pass john
son to Lehnen was good for first
down. verkennis fumbled. Arvig
cut down Lehnen, and it was Arvig
again who stopped the succession,
lost to the ball for the Johnnies.
"A series of passes opened for

sen was good for nine yards. Pang-
burns next was intercepted by Yer
kennis who was nailed on the spot.
johnson to Strub on a pass Melted
eight yards. Lehnen was brought
down by Pangburn for no gain.
Then the line held, with Arneson
and Egan and the center wall pour
ing in, Lehnen was held for two
downs on the one yard line. But an
end pass Johnson to Stannard roll
ed him over the goal for the final
score. The point was blocked.
Only minutes to go now, and with
the Johnnies softened by replace
ments, Cokeley snaked in a first
down, and another to move to the
10 yard line. And then the old
sleeper play with the pass moving
through the air nearly the width of
the field, Pangburn lobed to Kring-
en- who moved over the goal. Coke
ley cracked the line for the CONVEX

TIME NEAR FOR PUTTING
DAIRY COWS IN BARN

Cooler weather and less feed in
the pastures and fields means that
at is time to get dairy cows in the
barn, advises ]. B. Fitch, chief OF
the dairy division at University
Farm, st. Paul.
Minnesota cows are going into
the winter season in a better con-
dition than they have for some
years, and a few extra precautions
now will help maintain that advan-
tage, stresses Fitch. Fall freshen-
Ding cows, especially, need attention.
The Minnesota Agricultural Elk
tension Service has figures show
ing that for the year ending in
1887, Minnesota CTA fall freshen-
ing cows produced an average CT
$40 pounds of butterfat as COM
pared with 28s pounds for summer
freshening cows. 1t is important to
provide adequate feed, water in the
barn If possible, or a tank heater
The Sauk Centre herald. (Sauk Centre, Stearns County, Minn.) 1886-current, 1938-09-29

for outside use during the fall and
winter production period.
Too often during the fall, cows
are allowed to Craze stubble fields,
husked corn fields, and late pasture
without adequate grain feeding. If
frost-damaged, such feed has little
value and cows may be underfed.
eta members see to 1t that the
cows go into winter quarters early
and are fed according to produc-
ton.
The time to begin housing de-
ponds on the season, but If cows do
not have a dry, protected place in
the barn lot, It Is well to start
housing as soon as the nights be-
come uncomfortable.
