Former Askov Bow
Catches A Thief

It has often been heard that stage
showmen have made good with their
feet, but Alfred Dietz, janitor of the
Builders Building in Minneapolis, has
gone that one better and has made
good with his feet in the betterment
of society.
Mr.. Dietz, son of Mrs. John Dietz
of the Askov community, actually
trapped burglar with his foot Mon
day evening as he was going through
the building at the close of the BUSH
ness day. He came upon two men
who were looting the lobby cigar
stand and gave chase. One of them
darted for the revolving door and so
did Dietz. The bad man arrived there
first but Immediately found himself
as mouse in a trap, for one of his
pursuer's feet was wedged in the
door pinning him in.
Partner Interferes.
This was to be only a temporary
victory for Mr.. Dietz, however, be-
cause some more feet entered the
case. The robbers partner, who was
left behind in the race, planted foot
on the pants of Mr. Dietz and while
swinging at his adversary the keep
er-of-the-law of the building re-
leased his foot enough so that the
trapped "rat" escaped from his i'm
prisonment.
Then the chase really began and
some more feet entered the case.
Patrolman John Villas, hearing the
stop thief" of Mr.. Dietz, Immediately
gave chase with him cup the avenoo"
and soon they were both standing
in fond embrace" of the thief, who
gave his name as Louis Peterson, 81,
of 1913 E. Eighteenth ST., Minneapolis.
In the city Jail the man said that he
had been drinking and did not re-
member who his escaped companion
was.
Truly persons foot can be of use
to him in more ways than just to
stand upon.

Board Of Finance Adopts Resolution
 Urging Reductions
Supervisory PayRoll Considered UnreasOnabIy High; Mayor, Board of Works Requested to Con-
 slider Immediate Retrencfment.

A strongly-worded resolution call- Ing for reductions in street depart ment expenditures, notably ins the salary item, was adopted by the board of finance yesterday afternoon by unanimous vote, following its submission by the economy commit tee. Copies of the resolution will be sent to the mayor, the superin- tendent of streets and the board of public works.
 The resolution declares that the street department budget faces an alarming deficit, and will have to shut down by Nov. at the latest if expenditures are continued at the present rate. It states that the "su- pervisory" payroll in the department is excessive, and recommends that the salary item be cut.
 Imperative
 Following of the recommendation will necessarily mean the laying of of large number of street depart ment employees, but the economy committee holds that this is the only method by which the street de- partment will be able to function to the end of the year on available funds.
 The resolution points out that the street department problem has been considered carefully for some time and that some economies either have been effected or are projected. But these, 1t states, are not sufficient. The finance board to ask ene board

of works to defer operation of a plan voted by the works commissioners last week, whereby any cost to the street department in the Hamilton avenue paving and sewer program would be charged to the street and general improvement bond fund. The board voted to adopt a stan dardized" procedure in making charges against property owners in sewer and water connection work. Cost of making sewer connections is to be charged to the revolving sewer fund.
 No action was taken on recom- mendation by Corporation Counsel Charles s. O'Connor that all water boxes installed in the future be plac- ed on the land of the property own- CTS rather than on the city. He said this would save the city money by lessening the number of claims for injuries suffered in falls over side- walk water boxes.
 The economy committee said 1t would report soon on savings in the police department and city court budgets.
 Erosion
 A request by City Engineer Charles A. Root for transfer of $500 to al- low the repair of damage caused by erosion to the main water line from the Wigwam reservoir was referred to the board of works.
 Tax Attorney George R. Guilfoile reported that tax collections last month amounted to $5,310.40. The board voted that list of property taken over by foreclosure be sent to the aldermen, with the recom- mendation that survey be made to see if rents can be collected on property where there are buildings.
 The economy committee criticized the action of the street department in transporting street-closing signs to streets where the work is being done by private contractors.

LIBRARY OF F.D.R.
 TO BE PRESERVED
Donated By President With Part of His Hyde
 Park Estate

Washington, July 14-(UP)-The Franklin D. Roosevelt Library" on the presidents Hyde Park, N. r., estate was assured today.
 The House yesterday sent back to the Senate, slightly amended, a reso- lution providing for the library. The Senate was expected to concur im- mediately in the amendments, the only important one of which elimi- mated provision for a 25-cent fee for admission to the grounds.
 There was not Democratic vote against passage of the resolution. Sixteen Republicans voted for 1t.
 MT. Roosevelt, who proposed the project, will donate l2 acres of his estate, and personal papers. manu- scripts, books, maps, journals and other documents relating to public affairs while he served as assistant secretary of navy, governor of New York, and president.
 Rep. Kent Keller, D., H., chairr man of the House library commit tee, told the House yesterday that funds already are being pledged for construction of the building. The federal government, under the bill, assumes responsibility for mainte- nance.
 Keep Papers Intact
 MT. Roosevelt's objective in pro- posing the library was to maintain his papers together, easily accessi- ble to students and historians. He pointed out that papers of past pres idents have been widely scattered, lost, withheld from the public and in some cases burned.
 Some House Republicans derided the project. and sought to kill the bill by recommitting 1t. They lost 2i9 to I32. They sought to strike out the section fixing governmental re- sponsibility for upkeep and mainte- nance. but lost. then tried to limit maintenance to si2.000 . year. and again failed.
 There was acrimonious debate.

CIRCLE GLOBE IN TRAILER

MIAMI, Fla. fP)-Mr. and Mrs G. w. ASlop, 67 years old, have been around the world in their trailer - and they still want to travel.
 They're back in America for their second visit after 36,000 mile journey through Africa and Australia. They've been travelling since Aslcp retired 12 years ago at 55. To any one else who wants to retire that early, he offers this advice:
 Work and study hard while you're young. l spent l3 years studying at night while l was caring a living in the daytime. That's why I'm here" He's a New Zealand architect.
 The Aslops plan to visit the New York and San Francisco fairs and Mexico, England, Nor way and Sweden before return ing home next year for the New Zealand Fair.
 They did all the usual things in Africa-like stopping on the equator with the front wheels on one side and the rear wheels on the other, then standing with one foot on each side-but they let themselves in for some unexpect ed thrills.
 One night a leopard jumped on the roof of their trailer and ate one of the guinea fowls Aslop had shot for meat Another time a giraffe stretched it's neck over the trailer to eat some lettuce from the roof-top.
 But no elephant came along and upset their home. That's all they'd been afraid of.
