ployed at the cabaret de meant show,

paraphernalia Of the show and danger
to those inside the building was mar
roWly averted. He claims he discharg-
that the latter has since threatened to
do him harm. On one occasion, Kaul
says, Kennedy tried to get the electri-

the electric plant. Last evening, Kaul
says, Kennedy went into the building,
and, when alone in the back, struck
several matches and threw them into
the light cotton draperies. The cur

WANT MORE POLICE.
Burr Street Residents Say They
Are Unprotected.

Are Unprotected.
The annual meeting of the Burr Street I'm
provement association was he'd last evening
in the basement Of Grace NJ. E. church
President J. w. Griggs In the chair, and
there was a representative attendance of
members. For about two hours the citizens
of Burr street threshed cut their local griev-
ances and discussed needed improvements
in business-like manner.
Burr street residents are indignant with
the city administration because there is only
a single policeman In their vicinity, day or
night. This officers beat, they say, COM
prises no less than 112 blocks. He is not
very often seen on Burr street.
''It is too bad are without a saloon
on this street" one of the speakers said
last night. THE policeman would be al
ways within earshot If we had a saloon"
Those present agreed that a saloon was
all that was necessary to give Burr street
constant police surveillance. A committee
was appointed to interview Mayor Kiefer on
the subject of additional officer.
Superintendent Smith, of the street railway
will be asked to give his Burr street patrons
a fve-minute service twice daily-during
business hours-on the Lafayette avenue line.
At the present time the cars are overtaxed;
as many passengers are obliged to ride stand
ing get seats.
The association will protest vigorously
against changing the present route of the
Lafayette -Rondo line from Robert to Sibley
street. in order to accommodate passengers
from the union depot. In short time the
new union loop just competed, will be
| opened, and it is the intention Of the rail-
way company to utilize the Lafayette-R -Rondo
! cars on this new line. This will mean the
loss of five six minutes each trip to up-
| town passengers who are not bound for the
depot. The Burr street people will demand
that passengers en- route to the depot be
given transfers.
A committee was appointed to look after
the matter Of having Wesbach burners at
tached to the street lamps Burr street

| to the boulevards and the protection of The
street corners, which are now being injured

Warm Accommodations - Some
Scheme on Foot to Prevent Their
Being Mustered Out-AnOther
FurIOugh Asked For.
The question Of securing sleeping ac-
commodations foy the 1900 members
of the Fourteenth regiment, who are
to be mustered out at ST. Paul Oct. 29,
was discussed at a meeting of the
joint council committee on public
buildings yesterday afternoon.
Lieut.. Steele, who is in charge Of the
mastering out of the regiment, stated
that Lieut.. Col. Johnson, now in COM
mand of the regiment, had telegraphed
the war department asking that anoth-
er thirty days furlOugh be given the
regiment. In case the request was not
granted and the regimeAt was mus
tered out on the date now set, it would
be necessary to have the use Of Mar
ket hall, the armory building and an
other building in which to house the
soldiers. The government would feed
the regiment for the fifteen or twenty
days which it would take to pre-
pare for the mastering out, and ar
rangements had already been made for
their ratiOns at the restaurants. May
or Kiefer had promised that the use of
quarters
Cor part of the regiment, and he eX-
pected to secure the arrnory and the
old Mannheimer building at Third and
Minnesota streets.
In Market hall he figured that three
companies could be accommodated and
the same number in the armory The
Mannheimer building, with some re-
pairs to the heating pipes and lavato-
rles, would accommodate six compa-
MES.
Lieut.. Steele said he understood that
there were some contracts for the use
of Market hall, which would prevent
that building being used by the SOL
dlers, and, if such was the case, he
was anxious to have the question set
tied in order that arrangements might
be made for other buildings.
Aid. Shepard, chairman of the COM
nittee on public buildings, explained
that the mastering out of the regiment
would take about eighteen days, in
cludlng oct 29, and, as the govern
ment would spend about $500 per day
for meals for the soldiers and about
$4,000 would be disbursed in paw and
mileage, it was of considerable con-
sequence that quarters be secured
The House Of the Good Shepherd will
occupy Market hall for this week. but
will be able to turn the hall over
to the soldiers Saturday evening. The
only other contracts which would in
terfere with the soldiers using the hall
was the performance of Cuba" which
was to be given Nov. and 10 bv the
Minnesota league, an organization de-
voted to the interests of the colored
people of Minnesota
