Gov. Clough is waiting to receive
some suggestion from Attorney GEN
eral Childs before taking any action
in the matter. When asked yeSter-
day what course the state would prob
ably pursue, he replied:
well, I haven't had time since my
return to think 1t over. Primarily, Of
course, the initiative rests with the
grand jury up there. but private de-
tectives may be employed or the gov
ernor may authorize the offering Of
reward by the state. There were at
least twenty-five or thirty men in the
lynching party and it seems Incredible
that their identity can be kept secret.
1t may perhaps for time, but the
grand jury meets in November and be-
fore that sufficient facts ought to be in
possession of the county authorities.
In fact, / am quite confident they will
be. A revelation will be made before
that time and all the details will then
be known l found in my intercourse
with the people of Glencoe that the
terrible deed was in general greatly de-
plored and that the best sentiment OF
the community denounced the lynch
ing This circumstance will in itself
aid greatly to bring the perpetrators or
the crime to justice, though at the
inquest there might have seemed to
have been q disposition to shield

General Childs explained that the
penalty for the crime Of the lynchers
will be that given murderers of the
first degree He expects to confer with
the governor within a few days and
his recommendation will very probably
take the form Of a reward to be held
out by the state.

LANDLORDS his VICTIMS.
Howard Drayten and His Scheme to
Raise Money

Raise Money
A fellow giving the name of Howard
Drayton, claiming to represent st.
Paul publishing concern, is rowing up
and down the Estate mulcting unsus-
picious hotel keepers OF two-dollar
bills. Drayton. swho is known by half
dozen aliases as well, collects money
from hotel keepers for the privilege Of
having their houses mentioned as
wheeling hostelries in q publication
known as the Minnesota Road Book.
There Is no such book, nor any such
firm as Drayton processes to represent.
st. Paul wheelmenn are endeavoring to
locate the swindler to give him his just
dues.
The latest victim is r. R. Smith,
manager of the fremont hotel in Du-
luth Drayton alias any old name,
stayed there long enough to collect 50
from Mr. Smith on the assurance that
his would be the hotel in Duluth to
which the all-powerful finger of the
state Road Book would point the way
for touring wheelmen. 1t was also
agreed that Mr.. Smith was to have the
road book free every issue, and to re-
ceive complimentary mention occas-
1onally. OF course the road book was
never received, and equally, Of course,
there Is no such road book. Manager
Smith wrote to the managers of the
wheelmen's clubs, in st. Paul, and i'm
mediately received letter establishing
the truth of his suspicion that the
whole thing had been swindle. Other
hotels in Duluth were victimized in the
same way, the understanding being in
each case that the hotel was to be ex-
clusively mentioned in the road book
Just how much Drayton picked up IN
the Zenith city is not known, but the
important thing is that he is still work
ing the game in other towns Of the
state.

The hanging at Glencoe Sunday
morning was the work, so it is reported,
of a secret society which was organ
lied the night after the prisoners were
brought to st. Paul in June, the avowed
purpose of the order being to see to
it that the murder of Sheriff Rogers
was eXpiated by the death Of the
murderers. How often the society has
met or the breadth of it's organization,
does not appear, but it is reported that
certain citizens Of other portions of the
county than the town and village of
Glencoe, received during Saturday
sealed envelopes through the post
office, enclosing a very common printed
dodger announcing the lecture to be
given at Glencoe Saturday night by
Senator Knute Nelson. The dodger
was neatly folded and in the fold lay
a simple moose of ordinary Irvine. 1t

sent to the citizens of Hutchinson and
others reached Cologne, both of which

Glencoe. How many from either of
these places attended, if any, remains
for the state authorities to find out. A
Mcleod county man told a reporter
for the o e yesterday that if the
authorities decided to prosecute the
perpetrators of the deed they would
have no difficulty in learning the names
of a score of them. These, he said, did
not live at Glencoe, either.

CHICAGO, Sept 9.-The roads of the
Western Passenger association have
agreed to withdraw all their orders
and to cease the payment of all COM
missions in the territory Of the roads
of the Central Traffic committee. This
matter has for long time been a bone
of contention between the roads Of the
two organizations and has at times
stirred up considerable feeling on the
part of the Eastern lines. They have
made repeated requests Of the West
ern roads that they remove the orders,
but the latter have always put the
matter off. Now, however, they have
agreed that after Oct. l. all the orders
shall be removed.

School Inspectors Dread Not the

Encampment Committee.
The committee on jaintors and en-
glneers of the board of school inspec-
tors met yesterday and considered the
appointments for the coming year, but
by far the most interesting part OF the
session was that which informally and
unofficially considered the scoring ad-
ministered to the board by the en-
campment committee. Nearly every
member Of the board drifted in casu-
ally during the afternoon, and not one
of them hung his head or permitted
the blush of shame to mantle his
cheek when the severe structures Of
the encampment committee were re-
ferrd to. In fact, they seemed inclined
to defy the committee to do it's worst.
President Abbott insisted that the
boards action had been fair; the res
olution of the committee was not.
The chief conspirator against the
peace and dignity of the committee,
however, Anthony Yoerg, chairman Of
the committee on buildings, made it
even stronger. 1.-The cots and mat
tresses have been moved in today" he
said, ito get them out Of the rain, but
if the committee does not come and
