Coach Peter Maroni's untried cagers

year ago, puts Sophomore Dick Banks
at guard with Buckley, a Junior. Pivot
man is Senior Dominic Marolt, and
forwards are couple of preps, Jim
Rolando and Bryan Murn. Only Buck

with Don Kuzrna, first-string center.
Reserve guards are Pat Markovich,
a junior, Matt Banoyetz, sophomore,
and John zupancich, senior; reserve
center, Sophomore Frank Kuzma, in
addition TO brother Don, and reserve
Jim Landa, junior, and
Charles Erickson, sophomore.
Other members of the squad are
James Klobucher, Robert lbasnik,
Stanley Landa and Robert Kvas, for
wards; David Burgin, center, and Ber-
nard Mauser and Jim Eiioff, guards.
Mauser is the only senior in the
group. In addition i've freshmen are
out, including Joe Kostelic, Billy An

AUTO TIRES STOLEN
Thieves Removed Wheels and
All From Car of Sailor
Ill in Spain.

Two tires and wheels have been
stolen from the car OF Alfred Bunney
20, member of the merchant marine,
Fred Bunney, the boys father, reports.
According to word just received
here, Alfred is confined to hospital
in Spain. No details were given.
The auto was parked in the yard at
1893 East Sheridan street The thieves,
working when the Bunney family was
not at home, lacked up the front end
of the war, put blocks under the axle,
and removed both tires and wheels. The
tires are size GIG.
The auto, a 1887 DeSoto coupe with
10000 miles, had been placed on sale
for a week at local garage. Then
it was brought to the Bunney residence.
That night the tires and wheels were
pilfered from it.
This is the first such theft reported
here, Douglas Nankervis, chief of po-
lice, states. He emphasized that such
an act is a federal offense punishable
with heavy penalties.
With wheels and tires practically
unobtainable, A1fred's car is of doubt
full value-unless the persons who
took them return the property to its
rightful owner.
Alfred enlisted in the merchant
marine last March, and since then has
taken an active part in the battle of
the sea lanes.

monthly by the Minnesota Public
Health association.
A two-page illustrated story tells
how ELY, mining town located in a
corner of the Superior National Forest,
st. Louis county, became the scene OF
the first attempt anywhere in the
United States, insofar as is known, to
x-ray every person in the community,
as part of tuberculosis control pro-
gram" The article points out that
st. Louis county is the first in the
state to possess @ mobile x-ray unit,
purchased with funds raised during the
1912 Christmas seal drive. It also states
that this county has the second high
est tuberculosis death rate in the state,
emphasizing the need for preventative
measures to safeguard additional VIC
Tins from falling prey to the dread
disease.
The mobile unit makes 1t possible to
carry on a county wide survey in an
intensive effort to decrease the rate
through the early discovery of cases,

Municipal Judge Contest
ArOuses Great Interest
Throughout City.
1912 PRECINCT VOTE.

Ely voters will go to the
polls Tuesday to name three
aldermen, a municipal judge,

For Alderman.
Joseph Koschak.
Tony j. Lenich.
J. Emil Maxi.

For Municipal Judge.
John Kapsch.
Edwin Toms.
For Special Judge.
Anton Golob.
The contest between Judge
Toms and Mayor Kapsch for
the position on the municipal
bench has aroused a great deal
of interest throughout the city.
Toms has won reelection five con-
secutive times since first being named
municipal judge in 1881. Kapsch, in
winning reelection as mayor a year
ago, became the first man to hold the
office two consecutive terms under the
present city charter adopted in 1916.
Koschak. Lenich and Maxi are in
cumbent aldermen, while Vranesich
served one term as alderman in 1889

Three of the aldermanic candidates
filed on the final day. Lenich left his
name with Clerk A. o. Knutson early
in the morning, while Maxi came in
at noon. vranesich filed one minute
before the deadline at 5 p. m.
Two applications for absentee voters
ballots have been filed with Clerk
Knutson by persons who viii be out
of the city election day. Because OF
the short time-10 days-between the
final day for filing and the election
day, 1t is practically impossible for
servicemen to vote by absentee ballot.
Such ballots must be in the hands OF
the city clerk before the polls close.
The total vote is expected to be sew
eral hundred less than the 1888 bal
lots cast at the last election because
of the additional persons who have
left the city for war service. Final re-
turns should be in between 10 and IL
o'clock Tuesday night.

The city has issued a total Of
120 permits to taxi drivers here
since the new taxi Identification
law went into effect, Chief of Pc.
lice Charles H. Casteen said
Wednesday.
Thus far, he said, there has been
no occasion for the city to revoke
the permit of any driver.
Taxi drivers are required to post
the license, bearing the name, pho
tograph and fingerprints of tn e
driver, prominently in their cabs
where they can be readily seen.
Drivers who fail to have their
cards thus posted, should be re-
ported to the police department
by patrons, the chief said.
The public law recently adopted
by the general assembly, setting
up the taxi control by municipal
tiles, specifies that municipalities
may" deny or revoke driver S
permit if the driver is convicted
of state or Federal liquor law vio-
lations, narcotic violations, or ha-
