MUSICAL THIEF SENT T0 STATE. ~PEN FOR VISIT Charles Schuler Served Time in Federal Penitentiary at Leavenworth Charles Schuler, the “Musical Thiet” was given two indeterminate sentences to run concurrently from one to five years by Judge W. L. Nuessle on Sat- utday on two charges of grand lar- cény. Schuler plead guilty to the charges which resulted from hig tak- ing-a cornet and 2 saxaphone belong- ing to members. of O'Connor's orches- tra in which Schuler played this fall. It was brought out at the trial that the “Musical Thiet” had been given a one ta twenty year sentence in the Mllnolg state reform school in April 1905 on a charge of stealing horses, had been paroled on that sentence and had violated the parol and was wanted by the Ilinois authorities to serve out that original sentence. He will prob- ably be sent to Illinois when his term| here at the state penitentiary at hard} labor {s completed. Robbed Postoifice In March 1911, Schuler, who went under the name of Richard Gordon and August Rutch, was sentenced to two years {n the federal penitentiary at Fort Leavenworth, Kan., on a charge of robbing a postoifice.’ Later the “Musical Thief” was sent to the Unit- ed States detention barracks at Fort Leavenworth on charges of desertion and grand larceny, having served in the army in a band and deserted. Schuler was captured at Minneapolis thry the efforts of Chief of Police Chris Martineson. He had sold the cornet, but stil] had the saxaphone at that time. When brought before Judge Nuessle Saturday afternoon, the “Mu- sical Thiet’* denied ever having served time before, but when confronted with the evidence by the court he finally ad- mitied the truth of the statements. N Attempts Own Life | While incarcerated in the county jail, Schuler made several attempts to take hia own life.. The authorities be- Meve that the prisoner is more or less insane, Chief Martineson and Sheriff Rollin Welch had charge of the case and pro- cured the information concerning Schuler’s forme rcrimes and jail sen- tences.

This announcement was embodied in final instructions given today. to the dozen field agents of the state imml gration conmission as they dpearted for their respective districts In Minne- sota, South Dakota, Towa, Indiana and Minois. The agents were mbled here for the first conference held since active immigration work of this type was commenced tust August.

Worst, head of the commissiun ad- dressing the agents. “One-half tte flax crop grown in the United States and the largest of the country's crops of rye are ralsed in North Dakota.” Dr, Worst declared further that this heat and urged upon his representa- tives to emphasize these features in their campaign.

RAITROADS TO HELP It was announced to the agents that the fullest co-operation: in their work had been promised by the immigration departments of the three Jeading rai'- roads traversing the state. The men were instructed to “tell the truth in connection pression may he created,” and. to urge residence in the state espectally upon farmers interested in remaining North Dakotans, Among the 12 agents the conference harles ©, Connolly of Devils T. who is in charge of the, field work and has direct super- vision of the activities in sonthern Minnesota and Towa.

NEW ENGLAND TO . HAVE NEW ROAD Excellent Progress Being Made on Stark.County Line New England, N. D., Dec. 29.—Of- ficers of the state highway commis- sion have been working in New Eng- land making surveys on the state and federal road from the Stark county line to New England. The govern- ment gave the financial assistance for the road through Stark county which was completed during the past two years to the Hettinger county line. The new federal aid that has been al~ lowed will be known as project No. 37. One important change will be made in New England. The bridge across the Cannonball here, built by Het- tinger county, is deemed unsafe for all purposes and when the federal pro- ject is put through a new bridge will be built across the Cannonball south ot the McKenzie home on Main street. It ig said that a new bridge will be built across the Cannonball river at Mott. The new bridge will probably make a considerable change in this city, At the present time all travel from the south comes over the bridge on Mc- Kenzie street. The new entrance will make a beautiful Main street looking from the river north to New England’s handsome school building. 1t: will also make a desirable residence sec- tion in the southern part of town and the future growth of the city may tend to the southward instead of spreading over the prairie to the north. The new Federal road when it is. completed through to Dickinson will be an improvement which has been hadly needed for years. There isn’t a road in this part of the country which has more travel, but it has been in the worst possible: condition during the Federal aid has also been granted e road between Regent and Mott. ason ‘will 'see great improve- men made in- the-roads in- this sec- tion, AGED NEGRO HAS VERY REAL HARD LUCK TALE “Mont, Dee, 29, -—- Bert Colored and one-legged, He lives in a shack on a-hare farm, Ove miles from town. ® ‘i the worst of the.recent cold spell. his ‘scanty, larder became empty. have antedated The One-Horse Shay.

GOVERNMENT ON BASIS OF WHOLE POPULATION Winnipeg, Man., Dec. 29.—Civic gov- ernment, upon the basis of representa- tion by population and including a literacy test for all votes, is provided for in a bill’ indorsed by. the Citizens’ league. .The bill is to be submitted to the provincial: legislature and it is understood that the. leading provisions already have been indorsed by a num- ber of provincial law makers. The bill is frankly aimed at radical residents of Winnipeg, particularly leaders of the One Big Union element ‘who directed the general strike last spring. During that strike, labor lead- ers declared in public addresses that the city government: would be over- turned. When the strike failed, it was forecast by the radjcal element that the change would be made at the civic election. This election took place a few weeks ago and the radicals were decisively beaten, There are seven wards in Winnipeg and each ward has two aldermen. The new plan-of governtient provides for 40 aldermen to beelpcted on the basis of population. aldermen would choose the mayor, (One purpose of the ent arrangement whereby small wards with a heavy foreign population have the same represengation, in the council as the larger wards with a non-foreign population, ‘ It is expected that all labor factions will unife to fight the literacy test clause.

WAR AND FLU AIDED HEALTH America Dodges the Evil of Under-Nourishment By Carolyn Vance Beall, The war and the, influenza apidemia of last: year have had’. certain very definite effects on general health cou: ditions in the United States, accord- | ing to Dr. Charles Bolduan of the United States public health service, “With 4,000,000 men under military discipline, certain principles of per- sonal hygiene must have heen learned by. all of them,” Dr, Bolduan says, “This in a measure offset. the bad ef- fects on the general public health due to worry and strain on the people at home and disease actually acquired in the army.”. ‘ “While the high cost of food would lead one to think that under-nourish- ment would be one of the evils fol- lowing the war, this has mot been ob- served as yet inthis country. The high' wages pajd.to labor have enabled the workers to.keep up, in a measure, with the cost of food, while the sala- ried class haye been. able to. make adjustments, “by saving on clothing and‘ other items*in the family “budget to provide enough. to’ eat, : “We''are fortunate in that respect. compared to other countries. \Under- nourishment was .first observed: in Belgium, and ‘to some extent in Great Britain, but it is now remarkably. a gondien aH Russia, and since reports are available we. find Germany any Austria underted, 1 es “The increase in tuberculosis, and other. diseases that physicians belleved! would follow the ‘flu. epidemic have not yet appeared in the public health ‘figures, : : “The recurrence of the flu, for which health authorities were prepare by the public health service, all over anes happily has not deye?- oped.” 2 —— Save coal by: burning ashes. “Coal addition are many who have acquired wealth in the past year or so, Some,! ; 20 doubt, are proliteers jothers are; avnidon wor du few are Plata | “0K who - e @ ed to huve ona; Hing as tle cost of li ihreate rs to annihilate the joy of ng. urone is no. open to general tour- “st traffic as yet, and the Class that .erg> Ocean travel is sailing as rap- idly as accommodations cao be o»- tained for the tropic seas, _ 4 Prohibition has something to do with the rush, as wide-open Havana is the goal of thousands.
