There was general rejoicing IN
the federal court at 1880 last
night when the final decision in
the internationally known Nc
Kesson case was officially made
known by James P. O'Nea;.. che
foreman of the jury which heard
the case OF RoWley w. Philips,
local broker, Horace B. MerWin.
Bridgeport banker, and John H.
McGloon, McKesson director.
The rejoicing was general, as all
had concluded that the jury would
disagree and that the case would
have to be tried all over again.
Not even the government at.
torneys wanted to go through ten
more weeks Of that trial.
The McKesson and Robbins con-
spiracy case went to the jury at
1903 O'Clock Thursday night in
the midst of a thunder shower
which had been raging for about
an hour.
Judge Moscowitz asked The jur-
ors as he turned the case over to
them If they wanted to start their
deliberations at once or go out to
eat first. If the jury was as unan-
imous in reaching a decision as 1t
was on the question of eating,
the question OF disagreement
would have been out of the ques-
ton. The answer made by the jury
foreman, after taking vote
among the jurors as they sat IN
the jury box was, We'll eat first
II Just thought, said Judge
Moscowitz, "that II was raining so
hard out you might want to wait
an hour before going out to eat.
A Mr.. Searles, q portly and APP
parently well-fed member Of the
jury piped up In response 10 the
Judges remark: "It's clearing up
out, your honor" The press tables
are right alongside window and
all the reporters took a hurried
look at the weather as MIR. Searles
made his statement.
It was pouring as hard as 1t was
during last years hurricane.
A roar of laughter went UP from
the press tables and IN fact
throughout the courtroom.
Gee, that guy must be hungry"
said one member of the press.
TITS drink that baby Is after"
said another.
The $2l, 100000 McKesson and
Robbins conspiracy case which
was expected to electrify the ma
ton and even crowd war news OFF
the front pages OF the papers OF
the nation turned out to be
complete "dud" insofar as sensa-
tional news value Is concerned.
The reason for this was the fact
that F. Donald C0ster (Musica)
rated as an alleged master
swindler Of all times, committed
suicide.

NO SPEARING
ORDER PRAISED
Fish Authority Says Spearing
Pickerel Would Hinder
Propagation.

A state conservation department order
prohibiting the spearing of pickerel
and great northern pike drew praise
today from DR.. Samuel Eddy, noted fish
authority at the University of Mime
sofa.
Mr. Eddy, who is investigating lake
fish life with the conservation depart
ment, summed it up this way:
Common sense tells us that Spearing
during, Or shortly after, the spawning
season interfereS with natural pro-
pagation.
'Manifestly permission to spear pick
erel made it easy for the less scrupu-
louS to take other game fish as well
I believe that fishing during and just
before the spawning is unjustifiable
waste of fish life that should be
stopped
THE commissioners order should
help to determine the correctness OF
this idea"
Eddy explained that addition of pick
erel and northern pike to the mo spear
ing" rule meant that these fish WOULD
be protected along with wall-eye pike
which are protected usder present law
Angling for both species begins May Is
The order was also defined by DR.
Thaddeus Surber, technical adviser OF
the game and fish division. He said
many of the fish speared each spring
are females heavy with eggs.
Perhaps more important, spearing
permits removal of large fish from a
lake to the detriment of the balance OF
fish life in the lake. When these large
species cease to prey upon smaller
ones, the latter multiply out of bounds
and are dWarfed; hence, for instance
your small perch and sunfiSh.
when we consider that one of them
produces close to 100000 eggs, we gel
some idea of the great loss which re-
suits when these fish are not permitted
to spawn" said Dr. Surber.
The proclamation prohibiting the
spearing, signed by Conservation Com
missioner w. L. Strunk, is in effect
until the close of the next regular
session of the egislature-unless sooner
revoked or modified.

MOST CRASHES
ON GOOD ROADS
Straight, Level, Paved Roads
Scene of Most Serious
Auto Mishaps.

Where would an automobile accident
be most likely to occur?
w. F. Rosenwald, safety engineer of
the Minnesota Highway Department
gives this surprising answer-on a dry,
straight, level paved highway.
Contrary to who many of us would
like to believe regarding the relation
ship of highway construction and &C
cidentS," explained Mr.. RoSenwald, "the
departments figures point to one in
eScapable conclusion-that the driver
is still the most important single factor
in motor vehicle accidents. The High
way departments engineers may de-
wise new and effective types of safety
construction, but without the coopera-
ton of motorists much of this valu-
able and costly work is nullified."
In support of this statement, Mr.
RoSenwald points out that 1892 OF
1928 per cent of the 9,O45 motor vehicle
accidents reported last year took place
on the straight-aWay Fatal accidents
in this group reached total of $50, OF
more than rs per cent of the 464 re-
ported
Accidents occurring on concrete ano
bituminouS treated surfaces totalleC
6,987 or 77.2 per cent of the total, with
1874 of them proving fatal.
Seventy-seven per cent, or 358 of the
fatal accidents, took place on dry
roads. A total of 6,220 or 687 per cent
of all the reported accidents happened
under these ostensibly perfect driving
conditions
Road defects, which so often are un.
justly accused of contributing to &C.
cidents, figured in only 536 or les
than 6 per cent of all accidents.
"A composite picture of as perfect
stretch of highway as the skill anc
ingenuity of modern engineering car
build" concluded ME-. Rosenwald, ere.
veals sad commentary on the driving
habits of present-day motorists II
shows that on a straight, hard-sur.
faced, dry, unobStructed highway q
total of 1927 accidents 367 oil
them fatal-would occur in the course
OF a year, based on the 1899 figures
That safety, construction and mainten.
ance engineers have done all in theil
power to provide perfect driving sur.
face appears to contribute little to the
saving of human lives unless the
motorists themselves lend the essential
factor of careful driving"

will be allowed to remain in the
game. The offended player will receive
his usual free throw shots and after
attempting them the ball will be placed
in play out of bounds at center court
by the offended players team. This
Will be double penalty for the team
making the foul.
This change in the rules has been
suggested several times this spring
Buckley stated. He pointed out that
people attend basketball games, and
particularly tournaments, to see the
best men perform, but often they are
eliminated on fouls before they get a
good start.
| There is tendency, he continued, to
get away from the idea that foul is
a crime, for often boy is playing the
ball and not his opponent when he
commits foul Under the new rule,
which will be given a six-weeks trial,
each player after his third foul will re-
ceive double penalty but will be al
lowed to continue in the game.
Five schools and perhaps seven, may
have girls swimming teams next winter,
Or they may not have it at all. This
point will have to be decided before
schedule making starts, but it appears
that competition will be continued.
Most sure to have teams are Ely,
Virginia, Mountain Iron, Chisholm and
NaShwauk. On the tentative list are
Eveleth, which quit the sport in the
middle of the season this year, and
Keewatin.
But six schools on the entire range
are on the list for boys swimming next
year. They are Ely, Eveleth, Virginia,
Chisholm, Hibbing and Coleraine.
Tentative dates and places for the state
meets follow: Girls, Feb. IA and Is,

Langen Named Manager
of City Baseball Team
Frank Povhe Named President
of Organization; Consider
League Setup.

Wilho V. Langen, talented outfielder
on the 1899 Ely city baseball team, was
selected as manager for this years club
at a meeting held Sunday afternoon.
Tuesday night four team members
attended Range Baseball league meet
ing in Hibbing. Another was set for
May 80 in Chisholm.
Three non-baSeball playing men who
have nevertheless considerable interest
in the club were selected as officers.
They include Frank Povhe, president;
John Ike" Anderson, vice president,
and John Perko, secretary-treaSurer.
Ten veterans of past campaigns will
serve as a nucleus for the 1910 club
Besides Manager Langen they include
the three Banks brothers, Matt, out
fielder; Al, second baseman, and Fred
shortstop: John Glavan, third base;
Tony Stukel, catcher, and Frank De-
beltz outfielder. All of them were al
the Sunday meeting.
Other veterans expected to turn Out
include John Svigel, outfielder, Rudy
Krall, infielder, and Martin Krall, who
is looked upon as a solution to
pressing pitcher problem. 1t is doubt
full if Edward Jimmy Buckley, Har-
ward athlete, who has held down first
base for a number of years, will be III
Ely this summer.
Newcomers who were present at the
organization meeting include Joe Nov
ak, infielder, and Frank Vertnik, out
fielder. Practice sessions were eX-
pected to start next week, weather per-
hitting.
At the league meeting in Hibbing, Il
was decided to draw up both nine anC
ten team schedule. Hibbing will enter
the league and will play all its games
out of the city. A WPA project may
make it possible to construct diamond
to be completed some time this sum-
mer. Biwabik may be the tenth team
to enter the league.
A rules committee, composed Of
Barney Banks of this city, G. Lampe
Eveleth, and DR.. Heiam, Cook, league
president, was named. An attempt vii
be made to, have separate region
created for the range area for stats
tournament competition. No date was
set for starting eague competition
Present from Ely were Barney Banks
Stukel, Povhe and Perko.
