State Capitol News
BY A. I. HARRIS.

Official primary election returns
issued by the state canvassing board
disclose that Governor Elmer Ben
son received 218,235 votes-nearly
100000 more than he received in
the 1886 primary election. The re-
turns also reveal that the total Farm
er-Labor vote for Governor is APO, 440
the total Republican vote, $50, 695, and
the Democratic total, 1853.
The Farmer-Labor vote was the
greatest ever cast for a single party
in a primary election in the states
history.
Returns on the legislative contests
indicate that liberals will increase
their strength somewhat in the lower
house-where they had sizeable
majority during the last two sessions
of the Legislature-andt that they are
in the best chance in a generation to
win control of the Senate.
A strong liberal showing in the
state senatorial contests was not I'M
expected, inasmuch as there has been
national liberal landslide and two
years of national and state rule by
liberals since the last elections for
the upper body. The primaries this
year were the first time the electorate
had a chance to indicate how they
felt about state Senate dominated
by conservatives. That voting gen.
orally swung to the liberal candi-
dates throughout the state bears out
what the column has been predicting
for some time.
The attempt of w. F. Schilling,
former member of Hoover's farm
board, to organize sax handle bri-
gades" among Minnesota farmers to
suppress activities of union labor is
meeting with little success. He has
been reduced to appointing Off
Gals, many of whom refuse to serve
when they learn of their selection.
Meanwhile it was learned that his
organization, the Associated Farmers,
got its start on the west coast with
the backing of utilities and railroads.
A total of $3.50 was contributed,
largely by the Southern Pacific Rail-

Minnesota's sixth state hospital for
the insane at Moose Lake, dedicated
just recently, cost on an average of
so cents cubic foot for construction,
according to c. R. Carlgren, chair
man of the board of control. The
cost for the various buildings varied
from 80 cents a cubic foot for the
dormitories and "a cents for the
administration building and receiv-
ing hospitals, to $2.O3 for the power
plant.
In spite of these low costs of con-
struction, it will be one of the out
standing hospitals for mental cases
in America from the standpoint of
physical plant, Carlgren says.

A system Of social grouping rath-
er than numbered grades has been
inauguratcd at suburban Cuyaho-

Superintendent of Schools Terry
Wickham directed the planning of
the curriculum for putting into
practice the advanced educational
theories which an elimination of
grades neceSSitateS.
"This is novel educational
system in our vicinity" Wickham
said Of the new plan.
"Thc key to the set up is that
youngsters will DC working, not rs
individuals, but in social groups.
1t means that every youngster will
be handled in Il group where he
fits best socially"
The superintendent explained
on what basis the children would
be placed in various groups. He
said that the child would play with
children of his own age and size
although he might read rapidly
an d>olve arithmetic problems
slowly.
when it comes to studying, the
child will study art, music and
social studies in his social group
Wickham said. 'Reading and
arithmetic, however, will be stud
/ led in the group the child is most
fitted for--for example, a lower,
average, or advanced group"
That bungaboo Of childhood
the report card-will not exist in
the new school. A pupils work
merely will be marked satiSfac-
tor yor unsatisfactory.
Wickham revealed some of next
years plans for the school. He
said that cooperative industrial
study probably will be introduced
into the curriculum. Boys will
study part of the time and then
receive actual experience in the
villages industrial plants the rest
Of the time.

NEW YORK, Nov. 21.-Erich

Air Corps, took the witness stand
when the Nazi espionage trial was
resumed in Federal Court today.
CHASER was questioned further
on his testimony of meetings with
German agents in the Bronx flat
occupied by Guenther GuStave
Rumrich, one of the three defend
ants and who has pleaded guilty.
The former Air Corps man, after
being shown pictures by the
Omen, said he believed one Of the
men at the Bronx meetings was
DR.. Ignatz Griebl, supposedly the
brains" of the spy ring, who fled
to Germany.
In his testimony last week
CHASER scoffed at questions which
sought to prove him an ally OF
Rumrich. Chaser was emphatic
when he testified that he refused
to help Rumrich obtain passport
blanks. 1t was through efforts OF
the ring to obtain these blanks
that the case was finally broken
and the present trial was brought
about.

Appeals Bench
Sweeps Aside
Technically

A technicality under which Dis
trict Court judges here have re
fused to intervene in cases of pris
oners held at Lorton and Deco
guam was swept aside by the Court
of Appeals today.
The Court of Appeals had under
review the case of Miss Julia
Sanders, %, of New York, who
was sentenced by Judge Edward
M. Curran in Police Court last
July to pay fine of 500 or serve
so days in Occoquan on charge
of intoxication.
WRIT PLEA REJECTED
Attorneys Dorsey K. Offutt and
Reynolds Robertson had appealed
to District Court for a writ Of
habeas corpus for Miss Sanders
release, contending she was sen
fenced without being advised that
she had a right to be represented
by counsel and that she was not
intoxicated when she was arrested
District Court refused to re
view the case, contending thai
since she had been sent to Deco
guam, Va, the case was in the
Jurisdiction of the U. S. District
Court in Richmond.
The Court of Appeals, which
had ordered Miss Sanders released
while it studied the case, held
that all prisoners in Lorton ano
Occoquan on charges of commit
ting offenses against the District
remain within the jurisdiction Of
the District Court here.
BROAD EFFECT SEEN
The courts ruling may have
far reaching effects, members Of
the local bar said. Heretofore
they pointed out, many hastily
sentenced prisoners have been I'm
able to secure a review of theil
cases because of the expense in
volved in sending attorneys tt
Richmond to plead for them.
The decision, it was pointed out
does not cover prisoners held al
the local penal institutions fol
Federal violations.
