Hustle.

couraged yet. The stockholders held
another meeting yesterday morning at
the ROOMS of the jobbers' association.
and listened to the report Of the COM
mittee on reorganization, asking for an
extension Of time. The report stated
that subscriptions were coming in rap
idly, and If little more time was al
lowed enough money would be sub
scribed to render an assignment on
Feb. 81 unnecessary.
Z. z. Lowell and William Reagan dis
cussed the matter. Mr.. Lowell regarding
the financial scheme as great one, and
MT. Reagan maintaining that the as
Segment should be made at least within
two weeks. Mr.. Barton did not want
to wait at all. Mr.. Reagan argued that
the scheme was entirely unfair and
gave the stockholders who had money
an advantage over those who had not.
Ii the building was sold it should go to
the highest bidder, and if any surplus
accrued it should be given to the stock
holders on pro rata basis.
MI. Reagan was not seconded by any
or the gentlemen present, the opinion
seeming to prevail that the stockholders
had been given ample time in which to
save themselves. However, motion to
postpone action for two weeks was
granted in accordance with the commits
tees request.
"A committee was appointed to secure,
II possible, an appropriation from the

The council committee OIL paving will
hold meeting this afternoon, at which
the Yexed pro blem of paving Nicolie
avenue will be considered. The matter
was so thoroughly gone over last fall in
countless meetings, both public and
private, that almost every citizen of
Minneapolis who reads the papers is
familiar with every paving block on the
avenue. its life and condition of decay.
The paving committee. which this
year consists of Aid. Durham, chairman;
Elliot, O'Brien, Fort and Hewitt, is
divided on the subject of what is the
proper paving for Nicollet. AS the
whole matter is about where it was a
year ago, the citizens may expect to see
a number of junkets to other cities and
endless debates with property holders
before anything substantial is done.

The city hall and court house com-
mission has spent nearly all of the
5000, 900 which it received from the sale
of county bonds last spring, and there
remains less than 100000 in the treas

payment of contracts.
The commissioners are now turning
their eyes to the remainder of the bond
appropriation, an item of about $780, coo.
1t has been urged that portion of the

MAGGIOLI COMING.

Charlie Glow has received letter
from Frank Maggioli. the French
man and champion billiard player OF
Louisiana, who is now playing in Du-

pion, asking if an exhibition match
cannot be arranged for him in st.

Foley will arrange to have Glow and
the French expert meet. In 300
point game Maggioli would cocede the
ST. Paul champion 80 points. Maggioli
would be a first-class drawing card, as
besides being a first-class man with

difficult shots with remarkable ease.

CONTRACT LABOR.
The Schumacher Bill Is Discussed
Before IL Committee.

Maj. Heffelfinger, of the North Star
Shoe company of Minneapolis, favored
the Schurmeier bill. He said that 6
per cent of the boots and shoes sold
in the state are manufactured within
the state. In seven years his firm had
not purchased more than seven cases
of prison-made goods, but the prison
is becoming more competitive. He
quoted some one as saying that KEEL
logg, Johnson & Co. had not purchased
more than $1,000 worth of goods made
out of the state in the past sixteen
years. He stated that in the past two
years his firm had stuck closer than
ever to goods made in the state. I'm
der the present plan at the penitentiary
he said that the goods made there
would knock out IS per cent of the
shoes made outside of the prison in
the state.
Hon. Edward J. Schurmeier said that
he desired to argue the merits of his
bill before the committee, and would
ask for an hour and half to discuss
the matter fully. The committee adj
journed until this evening, when Mr..
Schurmeier will address the commit
tee.
ANOTHER JUDGE.
The house judiciary committee met
last night and discussed the bill of
Representative Dahl, which asks for
two additional judges for the Fourth
judicial district, which includes Hen
| nepin county. The committee will re-
port the bill back with an amendment
recommending one additional judge in
| stead of two.
The house committee on prison labor
held an interesting meeting last night
| to consider the Schumacher bill, rela-
tive to the contract system in tho
Saltwater prison. There was a large
delegation Of union labor people and
manufacturers present, and a lengthy
! discussion followed, on the feature of
manufacturing shoes, as a present car
ried on in the penitentiary. Earnest
| speeches were made by James Morrow,
of this city, representing the trades
and labor assembly; Edward Peterson,
workman for G. Gotham & Co., of
this city, and ]. A. MacAuley stone
cutter of st. Cloud. They argued
against hiring out so many convicts to
compete with skilled labor.
George w. Freeman, of the Gotham
Shoe company, spoke from the man
ufacturer's standpoint. He said that
jobbers can buy elsewhere than OF
the manufacturers of prison goods, but
if the present ruinous competition of
penitentiary-mades shoes is continued
his firm will have to dismiss % to SO
per cent of their hands, which would
mean $50 men and would cause a loss
of 1000 people to the city. He said
that if the Schurmeier bill should pass
and prevent over Is per cent of the
convicts to be employed in any one
character of work in the prison, for
instance in making shoes, it would be
wise and would reduce the competition
to basis that would not be damaging
to manufacturers in the state. He
stated that in twenty-five years his
firm had not purchased to exceed S2,500
worth of shoes outside of the state.
They handle their own manufacture.

The initial game of a series of five,

Thayer, was played at Foley's last
evening, in the presence of a large
crowd, and resulted in a victory for
Thayer, who won handily by the score
of 300 to 242. Besides being a trifle
nervous, Foley played in exceedingly
hard luck, missing easy shots, and in
variably leaving the balls in easy po-
sition for Thayer. The latter played
a strong game until on his last String,
when he lessened his average by fall
ing down on shots that looked very
easy. The average of each player was
somewhat lower than was anticipated.
