Twenty-four soft drink licenses for the year 1923 were granted by the City Council at its meeting last night along with two licensee for the remainder of 1922 to new proprietors in the former Charles Schroeck and William Manderfeld places. Joseph A. Schnobrich, a retired farmer, and A. S. Porn, an auctioneer, were given permits to sell srft drinks in the former Mander- feld place from December 6 to December 31, 1922 and for the year 1923. Similar licenses were given to Dave Leonard for the Schroeck place. Leonard is a former partner of Schroeck. The licenses of Manderfeld and Schroeck were revoked by the City Council after a hearing November 22 at which evidence was introduced purporting to show that both places had violated atate and national pro- hibition laws by selling liquor. Pietz Tesitfies. Joseph Dietz who was present at the meeting vouched for the charact- er of Leonard. Mr. Dietz said that he owned the building and intended to work in the place a fa a bartender. Members of the Council expressed themselves as satisfied with the character of Schnobrich and Dorn, A soft drink license costs $10 and must be secured by all who sell soft drinks whether at soda fountains or over a bar, according to the citv ordinance, adopted several yeafs ago primarily for the purpose of regulat- ing drink places. In addition to those already mentioned the others who received soft drink licenses for the year 1923 were as follows: Anton Bartl, August Beyer, W. J. Esser, Jacob Fritz, A. J. Groebner, Anton A.

DROPS DEAD ON SUNDAY EVENING A graphic description of the fire which early Sunday morning destroyed the main building of the Winona State Teachers' college and damaged the library and heating plant has been received from Miss Lillian Eyrich, by her parents, Mr. 'and Mrs. Ernst Ey- rich, South Broadway. Miss Eyrich and Miss Eleanor Gewerth, daughter cf Mr. and Mrg. John Gewerth, South Front street, are the two New Ulm girls attending the institution. The total loss is placed at $660,000 without any insurance. The dormi- tories of the school were not burned gnd there was no loss of life. Miss Eyrich's letter to her parents which was partly written while tfoe fire was in progress is as follows: "I am sitting here with my coat on, too heart-sick even to take it off. Our Normal school is burning! We've just been over to watch it. Every little while a roof or riart of a wall groans, falls and rumpled The flames look horribly beautiful^ "It started at about 5 o'clock this morning. All our records, term grades, books and Industrial artwork—oh, everything is "up in smoke! I have some books there and Industrial Art Work. - .iWj!A^,-r^ "One of the girls just came home and said that the library is burning too. It's in a separate building und oh, all those books! There is absolutely no decent fire protection here. "There "were three explosions, one right after the other, and they shook the ground like an earthquake, tore down the partitions, and b}ew off the roof. They 1 think it was the gas in the Domestic science rooms. Eleanore and I were in the building all day yes- terday and can't help thinking what would have happened if the explosion had occurred a few hours earlier. "Miss Loughlin had a $500 set of new books and they're all gone. Miss Guildermeister has more than that—all the teachers* lost just oodles. Miss Richards is crying and everyone is upset. The school'nurse tned to get some things out, but it was usetess We're going over now to watch it burn. It's nine o'clock and it's still raging. ' "Later—this is 11 o'clock. The buildings look awful. They managed to save tjke library jjurnjture and we'rp all going over there to help dry it with rags. They've called a masf meeting at the Congregational Church for 9 o'clock tomorrow " morning.' Matthew Petersen Sinks To Fjbor And Dies One Minute Later. Matthew "Petersen, 59 years old, died a£ 7:30 p. m.

Of P i ONE AMERICAN DOLLAR WORTH 7,600 MARKS Board and Room F d r ' T w o Can Be Secured A t ~>. $6 A Week. Dr. and Mrs. O. J. Seifert are paying 44,000 marks a week for room and board in Berlin. ^Butter is 1,200 mark c a pound, beefsteak 800 marks, and a pint of milk costs 120 marks. Eggs seh for 50 marks each. This is the information in a. letter received this week by the Review from Dr. JSeifert. And while the prices ape working great hardship on the German people they are not exorbitant for one who has American money. Dr. Seifert declares that he receives 7,600 rnarks for one American dollar. This makes the board and room bill of Dr. and Mrs. Seifert amount to but $6 a week. Poor Suffer Hardships. "For the poor German people,* living expenses are out of reach," Dr. Seifert writes. "I cannot see how they manage it. Actually some of them are living on nithing but bread and water. 1 *"The working girls at our hotel re- ceive 2,000 marks a month. A mod- erately good dress will cost about 15,000 marks while the price of a good dress is 50,000 marks. The middle class, the Intelligentia, the old people who have retired and the poor class are suffering terrjbly. JXhese are the persons win need help:" , ^ Will Stay In Berlin. ' Dr. Seifert states that they will remain in Berlin for the present and not Vienna. Conditions in Vienna at the present time, asserts, are dis- rupted and living expenses much higher than in Berjin or the States. "My work here is very interesting and the hospitals are overcrowded," the Doctor say*.. "People cannot afford to go to the doctor with the result that they visit the chanty hospitals. The physicians have a. hard time of ^t, too. For a consulta- tion they should at least; receive the price of a pound of butter, but very few persons can afford to pay that. And so it goes in this otherwise beauti- ful Germany where formerly y every- thing was sunshine and roses." •> Dr. and Mrs. Seifert sailed from New York on October 3 for a six months' trip to France, Germany, Switzerland and Belgium. The objecjb of the trip is to give Dr. Seifert an op- portunity |to study at European clinics. CLERK DISCOVERS PHARMACY AFIRE 'h Schmucker and Burk Store T * A n d Other iBuilcttngs Are Saved. Several New Ulm business houses might now be without homes had it not been for the fortunate return of Clarence Herzog to the Schmucker & Burk pharmacy last Wednesday even- ing. After the drug store had been closed for the night, Mr. Herzog, who is employed as a clerk, came back to the store on an errand. He opened the door leading to the basement and was met by a rush of smoke. v > Investigation showed that fire had started under the sidewalk in front of t h e stor<». Flarnes were burning ad- vertising material which was kept in thh space by the pharmacy. No one knows how the material became ig- nited. The fire department responded im- mediately and the flames were ex- tinguished. While the damage done was negligible it could easily have be- come* a disastrous fire had the flames burned through to the chemicals stored in the basement, many of which are of a highly explosive nature.

SCHLEUDER pETS WORD FROM SHIPS AT SEA Reports From France And Mexico Are Likewise Received Here. Receiving messages from N*uen, Germany, 5,270 miles from New Ulm, is the most recent radio achievement of Victor Schleuder and Ernest Sperl- ing, New Ulm operators. Not only have radiograms from this powerful German station been caught but the local fans have taken messages from the Eiffel Tower station in France, from Mexico City, from Honolulu, from ships at sea and from stations in practically every state in the Union. Both Mr. Schleuder and Mr. Sperling hold amateur radio licenses from the government and as such are under oath not to divulge messages which are sent to other stations than their own. But they explained that in general the radiograms from Germany, Prance, and Mexico City_had to do with press reports and government news. The foreign messages s re re- ceived by the naval radio station at Annapolis. Many of them are in secret code. Beat Newspapers To It. It is a common thing for thelocal operators to receive messages sent out by the Annapolis station to ships at 3ea. These radiograms deal with storm warnings, latest news bulletins and instructions to captains of-vessels/ Over their radio sets, Mr. Schleuder and Mr. Sperling have received in the' evening the news of European events which appeared in the metropolitan 1 papers the next morning. The mes- sages from across the water are trans- mitted on wave lengths of from 10,000 to 25,000 meters'. '< M> "' ' ^ Received Word From Ship. It is a common thing for the local men to hear concerts at Schenectady, New York, Pittsburgh, Pa.; Los Angeles, Calif.; Salt Lak~ City, Utah; Atlanta, Ga.; Chicago and the Twin pities. Messages are received from Hayana, Cuba, and Honolulu. Mr. Schleuder recently received word from" a ship in the Atlantic ocean, 500 miles from New York. There is a totaj of 129 different stations from which the local operators can receive messages and music. - Football scores were received by Mr. Schleuder from such stations as Schenectady, Pittsburgh, Atlanta, and Chicago. Recently he had the in- teresting experience of listening to the tests conducted by the General Elec- tric company at its ' Schenectady station of an apparatus for reproducing the human voice so that it retains all of itrnatural characteristics. ^ * Take Pictures of Voice. The new apparatus is not a record of the voice as is reproduced for a phonograph out the voices photograph on a film. The projection of the fiim on a small electric screen reproduces the voice without the scratches of a record, Mr. Schleuder explained. In the tests Mr. Schleuder said that it was impossible t> distinguish the photograph of the vvice from the genuine voice. When this method is developed, he declared that voice films will be sent to five or six of the leading stations in the United States and they will be reproduced siroul- taneously at these.stations when an address is made. In this manner the natural Voice will be carried over the United States. *#¥ACE fiM?

Schuman's arm was caught and jerked into the pulley, twisting it severely and breaking both bones. He was brought to th'4 Loretto Hospital where the bones were set and he is now reported to be improving rapidly.

Arnold Woller of Gaylord had the misfortune to have his hand caught in a corn shredding machine on the Gilde-meister farm north of town. The ac­cident happened while he was feeding corn into the machine. The hand was badly mangled.

Mr. Wo]ler was first taken to the Gaylord hospital but later removed to the Bethesda hospital, St. Paul, where he is now receiving treatment in the hope of saving as much of the hand as possible.

Twenty-four soft drink licenses for the year 1923 were granted by the City Council a t its meeting last night along with two licensee for the remainder of 1922 to new proprietors in the former Charles Schroeck and William Manderfeld places.

Joseph A. Schnobrich, a retired farmer, and A. S. Porn, an auctioneer, were given permits to sell srft drinks in the former Mander­feld place from December 6 to December 31, 1922 and for the year 1923. Similar licenses were given to Dave Leonard for the Schroeck place. Leonard is a former partner of Schroeck.

The licenses of Manderfeld and Schroeck were revoked by the City Council after a hearing November 22 a t which evidence was introduced purporting to show that both places had violated atate and national pro­hibition laws by selling liquor.

P i e t z Tesitf ies. Joseph Dietz who was present a t

the meeting vouched for the charact­er of Leonard. Mr. Dietz said that he owned the building and intended to work in the place afa a bartender. Members of the Council expressed themselves as satisfied with the character of Schnobrich and Dorn,

A soft drink license costs $10 and must be secured by all who sell soft drinks whether a t soda fountains or over a bar, according to the citv ordinance, adopted several yeafs ago primarily for the purpose of regulat­ing drink places. In addition to those already mentioned the others who received soft drink licenses for the year 1923 were as follows: Anton Bartl, August Beyer, W. J. Esser, Jacob Fritz, A. J. Groebner, Anton A.

DROPS DEAD ON SUNDAY EVENING

A graphic description of the fire which early Sunday morning destroyed the main building of the Winona State Teachers' college and damaged the library and heating plant has been received from Miss Lillian Eyrich, by her parents, Mr. 'and Mrs. Ernst Ey­rich, South Broadway. Miss Eyrich and Miss Eleanor Gewerth, daughter cf Mr. and Mrg. John Gewerth, South Front street, are the two New Ulm girls attending the institution.

The total loss is placed at $660,000 without any insurance. The dormi­tories of the school were not burned gnd there was no loss of life. Miss Eyrich's letter to her parents which was partly written while tfoe fire was in progress is as follows:

"I am sitting here with my coat on, too heart-sick even to take it off. Our Normal school is burning! We've just been over to watch it. Every little while a roof or riart of a wall groans, falls and rumpled The flames look horribly beautiful^

"I t started at about 5 o'clock this morning. All our records, term grades, books and Industrial artwork—oh, everything is "up in smoke! I have some books there and Industrial Art

Work. - . i W j ! A ^ , - r ^ "One of the girls just came home and

said that the library is burning too. It 's in a separate building und oh, all those books! There is absolutely no decent fire protection here.

"There "were three explosions, one right after the other, and they shook the ground like an earthquake, tore down the partitions, and b}ew off the roof. They1 think it was the gas in the Domestic science rooms. Eleanore and I were in the building all day yes­terday and can't help thinking what would have happened if the explosion had occurred a few hours earlier.

"Miss Loughlin had a $500 set of new books and they're all gone. Miss Guildermeister has more than that—all the teachers* lost just oodles. Miss Richards is crying and everyone is upset. The school'nurse tned to get some things out, but it was usetess We're going over now to watch it burn. It 's nine o'clock and it 's still raging. ' "Later—this is 11 o'clock. The buildings look awful. They managed to save tjke library jjurnjture and we'rp all going over there to help dry it with rags. They've called a masf meeting at the Congregational Church for 9 o'clock tomorrow " morning.'

Dr. and Mrs. O. J. Seifert are paying 44,000 marks a week for room and board in Berlin. ^Butter is 1,200 markc

a pound, beefsteak 800 marks, and a pint of milk costs 120 marks. Eggs seh for 50 marks each.

This is the information in a. letter received this week by the Review from Dr. JSeifert. And while the prices ape working great hardship on the German people they are not exorbitant for one who has American money. Dr. Seifert declares tha t he receives 7,600 rnarks for one American dollar. This makes the board and room bill of Dr. and Mrs. Seifert amount to but $6 a week.

Poor Suffer Hardsh ips . "For the poor German people,*

living expenses are out of reach," Dr. Seifert writes. " I cannot see how they manage it . Actually some of them are living on nithing but bread and water. 1 *"The working girls a t our hotel re­ceive 2,000 marks a month. A mod­erately good dress will cost about 15,000 marks while the price of a good dress is 50,000 marks. The middle class, the Intelligentia, the old people who have retired and the poor class are suffering terrjbly. JXhese are the persons w in need help:" , ^

Will S tay I n Berlin. ' Dr. Seifert states that they will

remain in Berlin for the present and not Vienna. Conditions in Vienna at the present time, h£ asserts, are dis­rupted and living expenses much higher than in Berjin or the States.

"My work here is very interesting and the hospitals are overcrowded," the Doctor say*.. "People cannot afford to go to the doctor with the result that they visit the chanty hospitals. The physicians have a. hard time of ^t, too. For a consulta­tion they should at least; receive the price of a pound of butter, but very few persons can afford to pay that . And so it goes in this otherwise beauti­ful Germany where formerly y every­thing was sunshine and roses." •>

Dr. and Mrs. Seifert sailed from New York on October 3 for a six months' trip to France, Germany, Switzerland and Belgium. The objecjb of the trip is to give Dr. Seifert an op­portunity |to study at European clinics.

Several New Ulm business houses might now be without homes had it not been for the fortunate return of Clarence Herzog to the Schmucker & Burk pharmacy last Wednesday even­ing. After the drug store had been closed for the night, Mr. Herzog, who is employed as a clerk, came back to the store on an errand. He opened the door leading to the basement and was met by a rush of smoke. v >

Investigation showed that fire had started under the sidewalk in front of the stor<». Flarnes were burning ad­vertising material which was kept in t h h space by the pharmacy. No one knows how the material became ig­nited.

The fire department responded im­mediately and the flames were ex­tinguished. While the damage done was negligible it could easily have be­come* a disastrous fire had the flames burned through to the chemicals stored in the basement, many of which are of a highly explosive nature.

John A. Weeks found out Monday that the expiration ©jf a three months' sentence for passing worthless checks did not mean liberty. Redwood county officials were on hand to take him into custody for a- similar offense at laff l ; berton.

Weeks came into New Ulm last sum­mer and nonchalantly passed a $25 check off ton the Central Garage. The check was drawn on the Brown County bank which notified the Ga­rage that there were no funds to cover it . A warrant was sworn out for Weeks' arrest but he had left town. ,,

Weeks was later taken into custody by Hennepin county authorities on a similar charge but because New Ulm had a stronger case he was turned over to Brown County officials. William H. Gieseke, deputy sheriff, went to Minneapolis and' brought Weeks t:> New Ulm. He pleaded guilty before Judge I . M. Olsen and was sentenced to 90 days in jail. . Sheriff W. J. Julius notified Henne­

pin county and Redwood county offi­c ia l on Saturday that Weeks' sentence was about to expire and asked if they wanted to do anything with him. Sheriff Earle Brown of Hennepin coun­ty replied that Weeks' difficulty in Minneapolis had been settled, but Red­wood county officials asked that he be held for them to Answer to charges at Laraberton/

Receiving messages from N*uen, Germany, 5,270 miles from New Ulm, is the most recent radio achievement of Victor Schleuder and Ernest Sperl­ing, New Ulm operators. Not only have radiograms from this powerful German station been caught but the local fans have taken messages from the Eiffel Tower station in France, from Mexico City, from Honolulu, from ships a t sea and from stations in practically every state in the Union.

Both Mr. Schleuder and Mr. Sperling hold amateur radio licenses from the government and as such are under oath not to divulge messages which are sent to other stations than their own. But they explained that in general the radiograms from Germany, Prance, and Mexico City_had to do with press reports and government news. The foreign messages s re re­ceived by the naval radio station a t Annapolis. Many of them are in secret code.

Beat Newspapers To I t . I t is a common thing for thelocal

operators to receive messages sent out by the Annapolis station to ships a t 3ea. These radiograms deal with storm warnings, latest news bulletins and instructions to captains of-vessels/

Over their radio sets, Mr. Schleuder and Mr. Sperling have received in the ' evening the news of European events which appeared in the metropolitan1

papers the next morning. The mes­sages from across the water are trans­mitted on wave lengths of from 10,000 to 25,000 meters'. '< M > " ' ' ^

Received Word F rom Ship .

I t is a common thing for the local men to hear concerts at Schenectady, New York, Pittsburgh, Pa.; Los Angeles, Calif.; Salt Lak~ City, Utah; Atlanta, Ga.; Chicago and the Twin pities. Messages are received from Hayana, Cuba, and Honolulu. Mr. Schleuder recently received word from" a ship in the Atlantic ocean, 500 miles from New York. There is a totaj of 129 different stations from which the local operators can receive messages and music. -

Football scores were received by Mr. Schleuder from such stations as Schenectady, Pittsburgh, Atlanta, and Chicago. Recently he had the in­teresting experience of listening to the tests conducted by the General Elec­tric company at its ' Schenectady station of an apparatus for reproducing the human voice so that it retains all of i t rnatural characteristics. ^ *

Take Pic tures of Voice.

The new apparatus is not a record of the voice as is reproduced for a phonograph out the voices photograph on a film. The projection of the fiim on a small electric screen reproduces the voice without the scratches of a record, Mr. Schleuder explained. In the tests Mr. Schleuder said that i t was impossible t> distinguish the photograph of the vvice from the genuine voice. When this method is developed, he declared that voice films will be sent to five or six of the leading stations in the United States and they will be reproduced siroul-taneously at these.stations when an address is made. I n this manner the natural Voice will be carried over the United States.
