Red Wing, Minn., Feb. 14.—When the attention of Superintendent F. A. Whittier of the boys’ training school was called to Senator A. D. Stephens’ charges as to treatment of boys at his school, he said that there was little to be given in reply to a statement that is so indefinite. “When Senator Stephens says that the boys are whipped by flogging ma- chines he makes a statement that has no - foundation whatever,” said Mr. | Whittier. “In fact, there has never been a machine 6f any kind used for that purpose in the institution, nor has there been any flogging. “It is not denied that corporal punishment is resorted to, but always and only as a last resort in extreme cases. When this is done it is al- ways with the approval of the super- intendent, and always in his or the assistant superintendent’s presence. It is done with discrimination and no boy has ever suffered any injury as a result. “The management and its conduct from day to day is an open book to any citizen of the state and we are at all times glad to furnish any inform- ation.” ADVERTISED LETTERS List of advertised Letters for week ending Feb. 14, 1911.

Washington, Feb. 14.—After many months of investigation the hearings of a special house committee to probe into charges of lobbying in the inter- est of ship subsidy legislation in con- gress have closed. i The final witness was Edward . J. Berwind of New York, president of a coal company and interested in the In- ternational Merchant Marine company and the Consolidated Steamship com- pany. Mr. Berwind said he knew noth- ing directly or indirectly regarding any lobby and had no information which would throw light on the mat. ter. The comnmittee will draft its report soon, which it is said will show the in- vestigation has developed no substan- tiation of the allegations of lobbying. Change in Harpor Lines. Washington, Feb. 14—As a result| of the appearance of Representative F. C. Stevens of St. Paul before the conference committee of the river ‘and harbor bill an agreement was reported on the amendment in the measure au- thorizing changes in the St. Paul har- bor lines, in anticipation of the build- ing of a new union station in the Min. nesota capital. Former Sioux City Mayor Déad. Seattle, Feb. 14—Walter Strange, who was formerly mayor of Sioux City, Ia, and who built the stock yards there, died at a hospital here following an operation for appendici- tis. Mr. Strange, who had been a resi- dent of Seattle for twelve years, was reputed to have made and lost a for- tune of $500,000 before leaving Sioux City. : . CAUSE CREAT EXCITEMENT Explosions in Palacs Be- closure at Managua. 7 — MARTIAL LAW DECLARED Family of President Estrada Taken to the American Consulate as a Matter of Precaution—Cause of Explosions and the Loss of Life and Property Have Nct Been Ascertained. Managua, Nicaragua, Feb. 14.—A se- ries'of explosions occurred in the am- munition barracks, situated within the grounds of the presidential mansion. Great excitement has been caused, but the origin of the explosion and the extent of the damage done cannot be determined yet. The detonations caused by the ex- ploding ammunition was heard con- stantly for two and a half hours after the first explosion. It is impossible to approach the ammunition barracks in order to ascertain if any persons have been killed or wounded. Martial law has been declared throughout the city. To safeguard the members of Presi- dent Estrada’s family they were taken in-a coach to the American consulate. BATTLESHIP TO BE SHOT UP Texas Put in War Trim to Face Hail of Steel. Norfolk, Va., Feb. 14.—The battle- ship Texas, which is being prepared for use as a target for the ships of the battleship fleet, will be semt out to face her baptism of shot and steel just as she would be if she were steaming out to face a foe. Noue of her equip- ment will be removed and all of her engines and guns will remain in place. It is possible that the department will direct that mannikins be distributed about the ship, the figures being equipped with gauges which will regis- ter the amount of pressure developed by the contact of the shells. In this manner the chances for the crew in actual warfare may be determined. The vessel probably will leave for the test about March 15. SIXTH WEEK OF DEADLOCK Senatorial Situation in Montana Is as Uncertain as Ever. Helena, Mont., Feb. 14—The sixth week of the senatorial deadlock be- gan with the situation as uncertain as it was the day the Democratic state convention refused to heed the plea of T. J. Walsh to chamnge the method of party procedure and nomdnate a candidate for Unite States senator. ‘While a Democratic conference will be held Wednesday night few expect it to accomplish anything The belief is growing that a senator canmot be elected until the closing hours of the sessicn. The conference talc has developed that T. J. Walsh has no iptention of withdrawing at this time, aXhough he has been gradually falling behind his opponent, W. G. Conrad. TO FORCE LORDS’ VETO BILL Asquith’s Aids Are Preparing List of Possible New Peers. London, Feb. 14.—Premier Asquith announced in the house of commons that he would introduce the gowern- ment’s veto bill next monday. As evidence of the government’s in- tention to force this measure through John W. Gulland, the Scottish Liberal whip, stated in a speech at Edinburgh that he was busy just now compiling a list of men who would accept peer- ages with the object of passing the veto bill in the upper chamber, in the event that the Comservative peers proved recalcitrant. CURTIS OPPOSES DIRECT VOTE Fears Pending Resolution Will Dis- franchise Negroes. Washington, Feln 14—As “one of the senators from Kansas” Senator Curtis addressed the senate in oppo- sition to the revised resolution pro- posing to submit to the states a con- stitutional amendment for the election of senators by direct vote. All through his speech Senator Curtis hurled at- tacks at his colleague, Senator Bris- tow, for approving the amended reso- lution. Senator Curtis said that he was in favor of a constitutional amendment looking to the election of senators by direct vote, but he was not willing that it should beamended so congress should give up all its rights to make or alter the regulations of a state for the election of United States senators. This, he said, was what the amended /| resolution would provide. Fhe amend- ed resolution, if its substance was ap- proved by the states, would result in the states disfranchising = colored voters, if they so desired, without congress being able to raise a hand, he said. A Compelling Personage. “Does your wife want: to go to the polls and vote?” “No, sir,” replied Mr. Meekton. “If Henrietta casts a vote it'll be impor- tant enough to have the polls brougzht around to the house when she semds for ’em.”—Washington Star, : Cruikshank’s Long Artistic Life. In 1863 Cruikshank was asked by the committee who exhibited his “Worship ofBacchus” to assoclate with that work some of his early drawings in order to prove that he.was not his own guud-l father!—Chesson’s “Cruikshank.” Northern STUDEBAKER AUTOMOBILES 55 Ye'ars/of Business Experience, the Createst Financial Powers in the World Back of This Concern, and That Is What Has Made Possi- “ble the Two Following Cars at Such a Price.

Affidavits on file with the Studebaker Co. In Regard to theE-M-F 30,at $1000 Here I a Plain Business Talk You’re a Business Man. You emp'oy business principles in your financial transactions. You count the cost, the cost of every investment you make. You buy right and you s2/l right. That's why you're suc- cessful. We're Business [len. We sell automobiles. Fraukly, we want 10 rell you one—to present our claim for your attentivn in a strictly business way We pre:ume jou’re in a pcsition to buy a car, so this is— A Business Talk with a Business Man on an 1nteresting subject. ; i Right now you are considering the Cost— first cost, maintenar.ce cost, and costof depreciation. The Car You Want is a car for service in your daily work; a car for plessure in your hours of leisure; a car your family and yonrfriends can enjoy with you; a fine-looking car that will always bring you h me, as well as take you away. Your Problem is to get the car that fuifills these conditions, and fulfills them at the least expense. The E=-M=F 30’ is one of the cars that you have considered. It is tbis car which we are making the subject of this ta'k. The First Cost of the E-M-F “30” is $1,000. The e isn’t any car Of its class on the market—and we'll include all the experiments and promises as yet unfulfilled, by competing firms—that can be bought at anything like this figure. ) The First Cost Argument is the one that has thrown the world of motordom into an uproar since October, 1910. Others Can’t 'leet it. They couldn’t meet the E-M-F 30" at $1.250. At $1,000 they are frantic. In the vain endeavor to obscure the issue they are being forced to the same tactics any man wou'd em— ploy 10 keep his head above the billows of the sea of tailure. 4 We Don’t Blame Them a Bit. We’re genuinely sorry for s :me of them. When their own factories are sending out literatvie which. when read between the lines, simply begs, “Don’t hit us when we’re down,” the’re excusable. The Truth About the E-'1-F ¢30”" isn’t going to be obscured in the least. though, by the statement of any di tracted rival. We’re going to review a little of it right now. The E-T'1=F ¢30”* at $1,000 is tLe biggest manu- facturing achievement of the age. It has been made possible by the gigantic brainof the world’s greatest builder of motor cars—Walter E. Flanders. More Than $7.000,000 Expended under Mr. F.anders’ own direction, over a period of more than two years, is the one possible factor to permit produc- ti:n of such a car at such a price The Vast Difference in Equipment for manu- facturing its car is what distinguishes the E-M-F Com- pany from all others in its class. The E-M-F Company makes its own motors, its own firgings;, s own cast- ings, it« own carbaretors, its own stampings—in short, its own car. T'he Enormous Saving which the E-M-F Com- peny makes in the production cost of its car is readily apparent to any business man. Parts-Makers Are Becoming Millionaires at the expense of the purchasers of the cars put out by factories that are endeavoring to compete with the E-M-F-«30.” , " The Cost of Material has become a much- mooed poimnt since the E-M-F Company’s recent an- nouncement of a lowered price. Other manufacturers ) —to be b'unt, assemblers—havé rushed into print with the statement that material actually costs more than it used to. It Does. There’s a geod reison. Manufacturers of irons and ¢pecial steels have been “Stuog” severely during the past few months by n otor-car companies who have been paying their debts in paper and in obsolete models of automobiles Questionable Financial Reputation is an expensive asset. Cash rules now where paper once held sway. The E-M-F Company Reaped the Har- vest. Material-manufacturers fairly fell over them- selves to sell th-ir output to a firm whose standing was unquestioned. They wanted to do business ex- clusively with a concern backed up by the bigue:t finan- cial interests in the world The Inducements Offered have been a big | help toward the resuction in price which the manu- facturing system had rearly es abnshed These Are All Business Reasons—Rea:ous that will be understood hy the business man who wants to make a busi ess purchase As for the Car Itself, we are content to rest with a mighty brief argument. There are more than 20.000 E-M-F Co automo'i'es in America, and they’re driven by 20,000 of the best satisfi d human bvings in this broad land. Of Course You Want Speed. A stuck E-M- F “30” just like the one you can buy for $1,000 made a clean sweep of the events in its class at the Atlanta Speedway’s November meeting, setting a world's c'ats record in one eventaud a speedway class wark in the other- The same car was first home of the American cars in the Tiedrman trophy event on the Grand Prize course at Savannab—190.3 miles at a rate of better than 55 mi'es an hour. In on: or more of t! e<e three starts this car defea'ei 1wo Co'es, three Abbott- Detroits, three Maxwel &, a Chalmers and a Fires'one- Columbue. All these<ell for $1,500 or more, yet none of them could head the $1,000 E-M-P “30” at any period of the test. You Want Durability. Th: first E-M-F 30" ever shipped ints Dixicland 18 rurning daily, has cov- ered 73,000 mules (or from 15 t» 18 years of driving for a private owaer), and is a bit better than new rignt now, with her o'd equipment virtually intact. You want Economy. The EM-F ¢30,” as ev- eryore knows, is a pcem in strength, lightness ard balance that reduces tire replacement expense to a minimum and makes other cars insatiab'e gasoline and oil eaters in compari-on, E-M-F 30" Quality is something we don't believe necessary to elaborate on further. The best evidence we can advance, nex* to the actual perfora- ance of the cars on the 1oad, is the confidence of the factory itself in its output. The Most Liberal Guarantee in existenc:— a guarantce embodying a definite promis2 by Walter E. Flanders bimse'f—is issued with every E-M-F car, - Car and Equipment are warranted for a whole year, aside from the tires, which are guaranteed by the makers. To put out a motor car of anything but the highest quality, and to back it up with a promise like that, would ruin any manufacturing concern. That’s the reason others don’t meet the E-M-F Company guarantee. The Flanders 20 at $700 and the E-M-F «30” at $1000 iv sn automobile valuation down to the penny. There are no hotel bills, no railroad fares or disepunts incorporited in these prices. Kvery man pays the same price the world over. The gigantic selling powers of the Studebaker Co., is a business proposition, from the menufacturers to the customers. There are no distributers, in short the dealer is work- ing for the manufacturers and is paid a fair amount for the duties he performs. _ Look Them All Over, Mr. Business Man. It’s only a business proyosition. Make your investiga- tion a thorough one. It will ylease us. If you're the sort of man we’ve had in mind in this talk, you’sl look us up, the nearest E-M-F Company dealerand write your check-for $1,000. Orders for Spring Delivery Must Be In Soon Automubile Co.
