JACKSON HAS THE CALL.
He Will Probably Be Chosen Chief
Ofthe Fire Department Tonight.


ofthe Fire Department Tonight.
Uneasy lies the head that wears the
crown. But the indications are that
Chief Black will be relieved of further
discomfort from this source after the
meeting Of the fire board tonight. In.
dividual members of the fire board yes
terday begged the GLOBE not to use
their names, and promised John jack
sons elevation 10 first place tonight. 1t
seems that Commissioner Warner has
finally made up his mind. and, although
inaccessible yesterday, he will vote
against Chief Black One of the mem
berS of the board said to the GLORE yes
terday:
Public sentiment is the only thing
that will defeat Black. No one ques-
lions his competency. But the accusa-
tons concerning his private life have
been brought so prominently before the
thereof. 1t is not question of ability,
but morals. This is an unusual case for
public board to consider, and but for
public clamor for investigation not
member of the board would have hest
tated in casting vote for Blacks re-
election. But there has been so much
talk, and so much apparent diSSat-
! isfaction in the department that
change is deemed advisable rather
than continue a public investigation of
the charges against Black. l believe
John Jackson will be the next chief.
He is popular man and well known.
He would be satisfactory to the bust
ness men in the wholesale district.
Chief Black was at the fire depart
ment headquarters yesterday at regular
hours. He knew nothing further than
had transpired Saturday night. He was
still hopeful of reelection and said he
would not give up until the meeting of
the board tonight. Commissioners
Martin and Freeman, he claims, will
stand by him to the last. The only
doubt is how Mr.. Warner will vote.
One of the commissioners attempted
to whitewash the singular conduct of
several members of the board Saturday
night, by stating that the session began
early and they had no supper. There

Further investigations into the burn

AN AGREEMENT REACHED.
The South ST. Paul DistiIIery Com
pany and the Whisky Trust
Come to Terms.

come TO Terms.
The South st. Paul Distillery COM
pany was incorporated last January,
and during the few months of its exist
ence it has been the subject of many
conflicting reports. 1t was first rumored
that the whisky trust had sent the
young corporation to the wall, and now
the report is current that the same trust
has absorbed the company within it's
octopus-like grasp. There is absolutely
no truth in these reports; but an ar
rangement has been made between the
company and the trust of mutual advan-
tage to both. The whisky trust is now
selling goods at about 10 cents per gal
lon less than the usual price, and the
ostensible purpose was the swapping
of corporations outside it's machina-
tons; but the South St. Paul Distillery
company is so advantageOuSly situated,
and possessed of sufficient capital so as
to be able to dictate terms to the trust
people. Contrary to the prevail
log idea, the South st. Paul COM
pany does not turn out whisky.
The company deals in highwines. aIco-
hol and what is known as finished
goods" The company's facilities are
such that in the manufacture of these
highwines it can go out into the open
market and compete with distillerieS
sale. The scheme between the trust
and the company is this: That upon
the company selling its highwines at
the same price as that required by older
companies the trust agrees to allow
the distillery to work to it's full
capacity. The capacity of the South
st. Paul distillery is the MASKING of up
ward of 1000 bushels of grain per day,
which is equivalent to about 10000 gall
Ions of alcohol, The superiority of this
company's operations is in the fact that
it is enabled to produce five pints more
of liquor from a bushel of grain than
are the distilleries operating under the
trust. 1t was therefore to the advan-
st. Paul people to sell at its prices,
while the home people get the quid pro-
quo in working their plant to its
full capacity. Last week an
Illinoisan named Elwell, who is
treasurer of the trust, came to st. Paul,
and, with friend residing in the
suburbs, procured ticket of admis-
sion to the South st. Paul distillery.
OF course, he went there incog. and
having special permit was shown
through section of the vast buildings.
Before he had reached the one point he
came here to inspect, he was recognized
by workman. Secretary Mathews
was at once informed as to the identity
OF the visitor, and without further cere-
mony the latter and his friend were
elected from the premises. After be-
ing thus summarily bounced, Secretary
Elwell stated that of all the distilleries
he had every visited the one at South
st. Paul was the best equipped. 1t
was his report to the trust that brought
about the amicable understanding which
sooner or later will result in the adj
vancement of the price of highwines.

his congregation very much. and said
that everything had been perfectly
