The War Map Supplement pub
lished by The Star as a part of all
editions of October 80 and now
available at The Star business Office
on heavy paper represents the best
effort of its kind that I have seen, -
Senator James M. Mead of New
York said in a letter to The Star.
Senator Mead, expressing keen
delight" with the supplement, said
it is valuable to any one seeking
to study carefully current European
conditions"
Senator Mead is one of a number
of members of both houses of Con-
gress who have praised the supple
ment for its background material
on all phases of the European war
and its value as reference material
in connection with daily news of
the war.
II want to compliment The Star
on its initiative in getting out a map
of this type at this particular time
Representative Earl c. Kitchener of
Michigan said. 1T has already been
of service to me and I am sure it
merits place in the library just
now"

D. {. Bar President
To Submit Report
On Court Fees
Committee Believes
Many Of Charges
Are Too High

Seton Darr, president of the Dis
trict Bar Association, plans to pre-
sent to a meeting of the association
next Tuesday, the special report of
its committee on relations with the
Municipal Court recommending that
fees in landlord and tenant cases
should be reduced
The committee report was drawn
up late yesterday following a meet
ing at which its members we're unan-
imously of the opinion that some
thing should be done in the public
interest.
Mr.. Darr had submitted the mat
ter to the committee in letter in
which he praised a series of articles
on the subject in The Star as "a
matter of community service"
Fees Held Too High.
The committee report was sub
mitted to President Darr today by
Robert E. Lynch, chairman of the
committee.
After declaring that fees in land
lord and tenant cases should be
reduced, Mr.. Lynch reported that
1.-The fees now charged for many of
the services rendered are entirely
too high considering the nature of
the service performed.
Thus" he explained, ut Is felt
that the current charge of IS cents
for filing landlord and tenant COM
plant is too high and should be re-
duced to SO cents or go cents.
With regard to the charges made
for other services in landlord and
tenant proceedings, such as the
writ of restitution, which is issued
by the clerk of that court, they
should be reduced, considering the
time incident to the services rem
dered by the clerks Office, as we'll
as the frequency of the service rem
dered.
Would Cut Marshals Fee.
"At the present time the United
States marshal has fee of so cents
for the service of all complaints in
landlord and tenant cases. The COM
mlttee recommends that if the court
has the power to reduce the amount
for this service. it should do so. to
at least 40 cents. 1t should be re-
membered that this type of service
does not require that the party be
served personally. but the same may
be given to any party over 16 years
of age found on the premises, or il
may even be- tackled on the door
in the event of failure of the party
to respond. Further considering the
question of service of the complaint
it is recommended that the court
request Congress, if the court feels
it has not power itself, to author
ize the service of landlord and ten
ant complaints by registered mail
The tenant or some member of his
family is usually always at home
The registered mail procedure
would, in all likelihood, be more Sue
cessful in actual notice to the ten
ant than the present practice of au-
thorizing service on any one over
is years of age or lacking the COM
plant on the door of the premises
If this were adopted, the cost could
be reduced Immediately to 20 cents.

Find Lost Boy, 6,
Unhurt and Happy
Wandered for Three Days in
Dense Minnesota Woods.

LAPORTE, MINN.-Russell Jen-
sen, sturdy six-year-old youngster,
calmly told of his experiences while
lost for three days in the dense
timber and thickets of Paul Bunyan
forest. He said he had an exciting
time watching planes searching for
him and hadn't even been hungry.
Two National Guardsmen, men,
bers of company that had been
aiding in the search with 500 vol
unteers, two planes and bloodhounds
found him, only a mile and a half
from summer cottage from which
he disappeared.
He was plodding along, his face
smeared with berries, on the aban-
doned "Old Blue" trail between Axe
ley and Benedict, near Lake Kabe-
kona. Surprisingly he was headed
in the direction of his home. Guards
men James Wall and Bud Potter
found him, in good spirits, with his
clothing intact.
The guardsmen took him to the
cottage where his mother who had
collapsed under the strain of his
disappearance, was being treated by
DR.. o. S. Ringle. The doctor exam
ined the boy and said the only mark
on his 45-pound body was a small
scratch, probably received while he
wandered through the thick under
growth.
The boys family had nearly aban-
doned hope he would be found alive.
He wandered away from a group of
children Monday morning while his
father, Curtis Jensen of Albert Lea,
Mimi, was fishing. Soon he became
lost in the forest, named after Paul
Bunyan, mythical character Of
great strength and genius in the
tales of north woods lumbermen.
The youngster said he had eaten
raspberries and blueberries during
his three days of wandering and had
obtained water from springs.
II slept on the ground when l
felt like it," he told Ringle. II had
the most fun watching those air.
