ROAM LIKE HUMANS, FALLS IN LOVERS LANE
Horse Reported Doing Fine

"A morse went STOlllng up
Lovers Lane.
Memorable things have hap
pened in Lovers Lane, old timers
say, but Tuesday was the first
time in the memory of the Oldest
timer that a horse went strolling
up Lovers LaEe.
1t was undoubtedly the first
time in the history of Ramsey
park that a horse fell off Lovers
Lane.
Erwin Payne and Peter Fagen
were shaking dead wood along
the state park path Tuesday after
noon, using the roam horse of the
team owned by the Redwood
County Home.
Lovers Lane is a narrow trail,
running the length of ledge be-
low the site of the old Turrell
house and about $50 feet straight
above the gorge of the Redwood
river.
The horse slipped and fell down
the horizontal cliff, landing half
way to the river. The accident
was at the location of the famous
hundred steps,"

cial taxes, such as money and
credits, grain taxes, delinquent
road, ditch or other special as
sessments.

Mass Meeting on Unions Is !
Scheduled IN Redwood Falls
LABOR RELATIONS
AND UNION MEN TO
SPEAK AT SESSION

Representatives of the National
Labor Relations board, Interna-
tional Brotherhood of Transfers,
Chauffeurs, Stablemen and Help
ers Union 851 of Willmar and
the Gandrud creamery will APP
pear at an open forum on labor
problems in. Redwood Falls High
school auditorium Thursday, De-
cember Is. The meeting will be-
gin at 7::30 p. m.
Labor relations board members
agreed to the holding of a public
meeting for general discussion
of union activities following FREE
quent negotiation sessions between
the Gandrud Creamery and the
Willmar union.
A board speaker will explain
the National Labor Relations act,
also known as the Wagner Act;
union men will speak and the
meeting will be thrown open for
discussion from the floor on
unions and the community'S at
titude on the subject.
A majority of Gandrud en-
ployees signed with the Willmar
union early this fall and the
union Immediately insisted that
officials of the Gandrud company
sign a working contract with the
organization. Negotiations have
been underway since October /.
When Gandruds failed to sign,
the union filed a complaint again
st Thee B. Gandrud with the Ma
tional Labor Relations board and
the plant has been under investi-
cation by the board for the last
three weeks.
Anti-union sentiment among
business men and farmers in Red
wood Falls and the city's trade
territory is widespread and there
is considerable misconception
about the Wagner act and the
way it operates.
The meeting will give all inter-
ested persons an opportunity to
express their views and ITO ask
questions of men who have made
q study of the situation.
The session is sof utmost ifn-
portance to farmers and of mark
ed interest to business men and a
large attendance is urged.
The Willmar union has declar-
ed its intention of organizing all
creameries in this territory and
it is rumored that union men in
tend to organize other employees
in Redwood Falls.
A pledge has been made that
the meeting will be orderly and
that there will be no such demon
stration as took place outside the
Gandrud offices during negotia-
tons October 6. Discussion, how
ever, will be unhampered, and
any questions may be asked.

TUBERCULIN TESTS IN
FOUR SCHOOLS LISTED
AS PROJECT

The Christmas Seal committee
plans a tuberculin testing survey
of the junior and senior high
schools of Lamberton, Walnut
Grove and Sanborn, as well as

Falls, secretary-treasurer. If suf-
ficient funds are available, all
high school children in the
county will be tested.
In making the announcement
they explained that 1T lis inapos-
sible to obtain sufficient funds for
this expensive type of work in
one Seal sale and that it has been
necessary to put aside portion
of the county's Seal sale funds
each year for several years in or
der to accumulate sufficient
money to finance another extern
sive tuberculin testing program.
1t is believed that if response
is generous in the present sale the
needed amount will be reached.
Officers explain the division Of
Christmas Seal funds which fin
ance the national and statewide
fight against tuberculosis as well
as local activities.
Five per cent of each Christmas
Seal dollar goes to support the
work of the National tuberculosis
association, leaving 95 per cent to
be spent within Minnesota. OF
this 95 per cent, SIS per cent goes
for definite educational and
specific anti-tuberculosis and
health activities in the county in
which it is raised. Forty per cent
goes to carry on the statewide
program which benefits every
county.
The average cost in a tuber-
culin testing survey, including the
testing and x-rays, is approxi-
mately $50 per hundred persons.
If all high school pupils in Red
wood county are included in the
survey costs would be around

Continued from Page D speaking in behalf of the General Jewish council and for the opporl- ents of Father Coughlin."
 In his regular Sunday radio ser- mon yesterday, the Royal Oak priest urged American Jews to de- nounce "Atheistic" Jews abroad.
 The radio priest referred several times to American Jews as "ny fel- low Jews and repeated charges that Jews dominate the Communist party in Russia.
 Father Coughlin discontinued a practice of several years standing by failing to distribute copies of his speech to the press.
 Bridgeport Quoted
 Quoting the B'Nai Brith magazine, Father Coughlin said that local Jewish councils at Cleveland, O., and Bridgeport, Conn, had per- Suaded school authorities to ban Christmas and Easter practices which embarrass Jewish children in the public schools.
 Coughlin urged Jews in other communities not to follow the ex- ample established in Cleveland and Bridgeport. He said the plays and stories of Bethlehem were the last evidences of christianity in the Christmas and Easter observances in the public schools.
 Coughlin added that Godlessness' usually is the first evidence of com- munism and said that the problem confronting the nation is one of anti Communism and not one of ati-Semitism.

which ended in his conviction in May, 1o3s, when he was sentenced to 1b years imprisonment and fined $10,D00.
 Pathological Liar
 Much of the Means legend came from Means himself and, as he was a pathological liar, the record of his indictments is the only trustworthy record of his career. These began in 1914 when he was charged with swindling an insurance company of s4,00O. In. 1917, he was handling the million dollar estate of Mrs. Maude King, a Chicago widow. Mrs King was killed at a moonlight tar get shooting party in North Car Carolina and he was charged with murdering her. It developed that shhe was planning to marry again that this would eliminate him as her financial advisor, but he said it was an accident and a jury n his native statebielved hime xxi in his native state believed him. Her lawyers charged later that he had footed her of half million and court ruled that he had forged a second" will of her first husband but nothing ever came of it.
 Wooden Gold Brick
 Next he wrapped a piece of wood in heavy brown paper, insure it for a gold brick, expressed it to him self, then tried to colelct $57,00O This failed. Meanwhile, he had been attempting for years to get himself appointed an agent of the federal department of justice and in 1921 he succeeded. Two years later he provided a major scandal of the Harding administration. It de- veloped that he and his accom- plices had accepted bribes totalling $65, 1000, that they had opened gov ernment warehouses to hootleggers profiting $100,000, thereby. That they had shaken down a Chicago bootlegger for $75,0O0, and that they had attempted o bribe four of his high superiors. For his, he served four years in Atlanta federal peni- tentiary.
 N Publishes Book
 He was released in 1928 aud 193C published his book, "The Strange

Death of President Harding" in in which he inferred that Harding had not died natural death, but had been poisoned. He became a violent anti-communist and auth critics next fund him in a lucrative York society woman and her daugh- ter from fred agents. For this ser- vice he was said to have persuaded his client to part with $1OO,O0O.
 Means served for several years as an agent for the Burns detective agency and was rated as one of the most brilliant detectives of his day. He claimed to have served Germany as an espionage agent during the World War, receiving $1,000 a week and many thous- arlds in bonuses for tying up lnurli- tions plants working for the Allies.
 Last Job in 1886
 His last exploit occurred in 1886. He tried to srnuggle a letter out of Leavenworth prison "confessing that he originated the Lindbergh plot. This was taken as scheme to get out of prison and he was merely disciplined.
 He was born in 1879 of highly respectable and well known North Carolina family. He began a legi- innate career there, and, brilliant ly educated, brainy, suave, likeable, seemed well on his way to legi- tiInate~success when, in middle life, he turned crook.
 His wife, faithful to him through it all, came here to be with him during his illness. She claimed the body. It will be returned to the family home in Concord, N. O., for funeral service and burial.

Declares News Photographers Should Be Permitted to
 Take Courtroom Scenes; Cameras Barred Here

Procedure of the Waterbury con- spiracy trial, at which photograph CTS are barred from taking pictures within the court room, is reflected in speech delivered by Col. Robert R. Mccormick, publisher of the Chicago-Tribune before the Chicago Bar Association Saturday.
 Col. Mccormick defended the right of newspapers to cover public trials with typewriter and camera. The rule of the Connecticut super for court precludes the use of cameras in the courtroom, and so far as this case it concerned, in the courthouse, while court is in session.
 Litigants Rights
 It was pointed out that cameras are being used extensively in con- nection with sports events, weddings, political meetings, and other affairs which could be held privately. Tn the opinion of the speaker, news paper reports of trials serve to in crease the size of the courtroom and 11O1SdA1t0 IldfC 44SI1b OO OA1Ao HI creased supervision"
 In addition to the ban on photo graphers, the conspiracy case trial will not be tolerant to the presence of artists seeking to sketch the daily happenings. Permission has been given to attend the hearings and gain a mental picture" from which sketching might be followed on the outside. But no sketching may be done while court is in session.
 Tt is now proposed to change the Constitution by the importation of the English legal fiction that telling what has transpired will interfere with a fair trial and the rights of the accused" Col. McCor- mick remarked.
 o course, a newspaper must not interfere with the rights of an ac- cused person. Nor must any one else. But the repetition of what has been seen does not jeopardize any right.
 Partisan Crowd
 T do not think it can be ser iously suggested that the conduct of a newspaper-how much might deplore it, or you might deplore it-could affect the verdict of jury so much as a partisan crowd in the courtroom, which, while not an every day occurrence, is com mon one"
 "There is only one event which must be held publicy-a trial. How absurd, then, to argue that this
