IDEAS OF A SUBCOMMITTEE OF
THE COMMERCIAL CLUB on
THE SUBJECT
Thing an Exhibition Car Should BE
Sent East, Pamphlet issued. aa
Advertising Fund Created ana e.
Commission Provided Fer.

The report of the subcommittee of
the immigration committee of the Com
mercial club upon the measures that
should be taken to induce immigration
of homeseekers to the unoccupied lands
of Minnesota has been prepared and is
as follows:
Your subcommittee compo,ed of Messrs.
F. Willius, E: w. Randall and D. R. Nc.
Ginnis. report as follows: Several meet
1ngs of your committee have been held and
after as careful consideration as possible we
would recommend that:
First-That an exhibition car to be known
as the Minnesota exhibit car" contain
ing a display of the natural products of the
state, mineral, agricultural and forestry, and,
as far as possible, samples of the manufac,
tured products be sent through the Eastern
and Central states for term of six months
each year. From the best knowledge we can
obtain, this will cost in all $1,000 for eacn
six months. which includes preparation of ex-
hibit as well as the trip of the car.
Secord-We recommend the preparation and
publication of a pamphlet giving a description
of the resources Of the state in the English
and two other languages mot SPANISH, the
cost of preparation and publication being estl-
mated at S. 900.
advertising fund be established for the dis
semlnation OF the experience of settlers by
the publication of letters and other forms
OF advertising. to the extent of s.. 000
Fourth-We estimate the cost of postage,
stationery, express and costs of administra-
ton to be $1,000 per year.
Fffth-We recommend that a board of five
immigration comm ssioners he CT Gated TO s rye
without pay. and that it have charge of
the entire work, and that said commission
shall be persons known to be of public
spirit and experience in immigration work
and familiar with the undeveloped resources,
of the state. The object of the work to be
dvoted entirely to the encouragement Of inn
migration to the undeveloped lands of the
state.

COST THE OFFICERTEN
PATROLMAN WEIGH HAD TO PAY
REWARD ADVERTISED FOR
"LOST" COINS
MRS. ScHOLERT FOUND THEM
Mayor Insisted That Welch Produce
the Ten as Advertised, Where
upon the Charges Which Have
Been Hanging Over Welch's
Head Were withdrawn

Considerable criticism was INDUCED
in about the city hall and in police
circles yesterday over the course of
Mayor Kiefer in disposing Of the charge
made against Patrolman WEIGH, by
Mrs. Fanny Bernstein, who claimed
WEIGH had stolen twelve Russian coins
which he took from her home, 1854
Payne avenue, while searching the
house under orders, and failed to turn
over to his superiors
The trouble over the coins arose
when the property seized by Patrolman
Welch was returned to Mrs. Bernstein.
She did not get the Russian coins back
and preferred charges against WEIGH
with the mayor. WEIGH was called to
account by Chief Goss. He positively
denied having ever had the coins in his
possession, claiming he did not take
them from the house with the other
articles.
But it was learned that Welch had
gone to the Pioneer Press office with
the property he turned up" at Mrs.
Bernstein,s, to show how successful
his search had been and had shown
the coins to Reporter Edmunson. Mr..
EdmuhSon says WEIGH showed him the
coins In a purse, calling attention to
the fact that the coins We're Russian
money and some of them were very old.
'oeVeIdI udySl ldteT, MI EUmunSOn
says. WEIGH came to him again and
asked him to say that he had never
seen the coins, explaining that he had
denied having them to Chief Goss.
Mayor kiefer sent for Mr.. Edmunson
and learned this story from the repor-
ter. When confronted with this story
WEIGH. 1t is said, admitted having TAX
en- the coins from Mrs. Bernstein's
home and also having shown them at
the Pioneer Press Office to Mr. Edmun-
son. He explained, however, that he
had in reality lost the coins after leav-
ing the Pioneer Press office and had
denied ever having had them, because
he feared his careleSsneSs in losing the
coins might jeopardise his position.
Mayor Kiefer set the hearing of the
case for yesterday. In the meantime
WEIGH advertised a reward Of $40 for
the return of the coins he claimed to
have lost.
Yesterday morning Mrs. Schorlert.
living at $50 Smith avenue. appeared
before the mayor with the missing
coins. She said she found them on the
street, near the Pioneer Press Office.
Mayor Kiefer ordered Welch to pay
Mrs. Schorlert the $40 reward. Welch
WINGED under this turn Of affairs and
sald ne had not that amount of money
about him He tried to borrow $40
from Chief Goss, but the chief had no
small change and finally WEIGH and a
friend rendered a check for $40. Mayor
K1efer returned the check and ordered
WEIGH to dig up the cash. Welch
went out on hustling expedition and
and finally came back with the re-
Waro money, Which was turned over to
Mrs. Schorlert.
against Welch and ordered him back
on duty.

paid over to them as provided in the
resolution. A large minority in the
convention wanted the bondsmen re-
leased from the payment of one-half

to establish what might be a danger

effected in the stipulation to repay the
$500, after the full amount of the bond

A THRILLING OCCURRENCE
Eut II Eventually Brought India Under
Englauds Control.

bow many people are aware that
Ensland owes its vast Indian empire
to a variation of three shillings a
pound in the price of pepper. And yet
such S the case. and it throws an in
tercs,ing light upon the idiosyncrasies
OF the English character
In the sixteenth century all the pep
per consumed in England was bought
by the English merchants from the
Dutch, who brought IL from India.
Owing to racial jealousy, the Dutch
traders in 1899 raised the cost from
three shilllngs to six shillings per
pound. This petty display of ill-feel-
ing caused considerable annoyance to
the English merchants, and aroused
In them that feeling of independence
which has always been so character
istiC OF the race.
They determined to import their
pepper direct from India in their own
ships, and for this purpose formed a
company, called The Governor and
Company OF Merchants of London
Trading to the East Indies and which
In later days became eventually known
as the East India Company.
Their first voyages embroiled them
in almost innnmerable quarrels with
the Dutch and Portuguese, and for a
time the venture proved a financial
failure. 1t was not until 1915 that the
company became successful and OBJ
tanned lucrative treaties, owing to their
decisively defeating the Portuguese.
From this time on their possessions
gradually increased, slowly at first,
and then very rapidly, until, by the
wise and beneficial management Of
such men as Give. Warren Hastings
and CORVALLIS, they exercised SOW
ereignty over the greater portion Of
India
In this manner 1t happened that an
increase in the price of pepper momen-
tously affected the history of mankind
