ing Considerable Attention.

touches to the preparations for the for
NAL reopening Of the edifice on Sunday.

fed in q way chat justly excites the
pride of the colored Catholics of st. Paul,
for whose special use the church was
erected some eight years ago.
In the first place the heating appa-
ratus has been thoroughly overhauled
and repaired Then the entire interior
of the edifice has been tastefully fres-
coed in soft harmonious tints, the ar
tistlc decorations eliminating in the
sanctuary, which Father Printon de-
scribes as 'the Holy of Holes the cell
ing especially being finished in beautiful
cloud effects and clusters of stars. The
old, ill-smelling oil lamps have been re-
placed by goodly number of Wellsback
burners, which cast a mellow, religious
light throughout the nave. Congrega-
tional singing constitutes a special fea-
ture of the services with the colored
Catholics of ST. Peter Claver's parish.
The members of the congregation are

NO SETTLEMENT YET REACHED
THE IRON HOLDERS SATISFIED
WITH THE STRIKE SIT
UATION
They Claim That Their Places Cam
not Be Filled Because Wages Are
Higher and Work Plentiful In
Other Cities.

So far as immediate adjustment of the
difficulties existing between the iron
molders and their employers is concerned,
yesterday witnessed practically no change
in the strike situation. The molders are
firm in their determination to stand out
for the demands that have been made and
as yet there Is no indication of concession
on the part Of the employers. The union
members express complete satisfaction
with the progress of the strike, however,
and declare that they are bound to win.
They insist that they demand nothing
unreasonable and as they claim to have
every factory in the city efrectually tied
up their triumph IS but a question Of a
short time.
According tt members of the union
nearly every iron molder in the city is in
sympathy with the strike and has gone
out At one foundry there are five non
union men at work while another foundry
still has one man at work, but this small
number who will not join the strike, the
union men say, in no way weallens the
movement. 1t was reported yesterday
that some of the fourdrics are getting
assistance with their work in Mime
union conferred with the Minneapolis
union relative to this subject. The re-
suit is that the men claim union MEM
bers in the Mill City will not work on st.
Paul contracts while the strike is In
progress.
The strikers met at Labor hall yester-
day and heard reports from the various
committees The reports were satisfac-
tory and when thirty new members were
initiated the union men We're jubilant
The men insist that an adjustment of the
trouble must come through the union and
declare they will lot treat with the en-
ployers as individuals.
According to the claims of the men
seven foundries are tied UP by the strike,
namely, the ST. Paul Foundry company,
American Hoist and Derrick company,
Valley Iron works. Bridge and Bolt
works, Washington foundry, Omaha
foundry and Minnesota Malleable Iron
works.
The cause of the trouble is the refusal
of the employers to sign an agreement
proposed by the union.
It is said the foundries are at present
paying from $2.25 to 1926 a day, while the
agreement calls fo2 a minimum of $3.50
a day.
A member of the union said last even
ing that iron no!ders In other cities were
getting better pay than those in ST. Paul
and that as there is constant demand for
men in The trade there is no fear of out
siders coming here to take the strikers
places. None Of the strikers are leaving
the city either and all are sanguine that
the trouble viii be settled within two
Y:Aeks at least.
The union received a telegram from
headquarters last evening containing i'm
portant Information, which will be pre-
scented to the me- mbers at a meeting to be
held at Labor hall at 10 o'clock this MON
ing.

ianship of His Nephew Contested.
A contest over the guardianship of Will
liam Roswell Ehrmanntraut, the minor
son OF the lateo iWipiam Ehrmanntraut,
was commenced yesterday in the probate
court with the fling Of petition Of Mrs.
Esteiia " Ehrmanntraut, mother Of the
boy, asking that Joseph Ehrmanntraut
Jr., president Of the ST. Paul Brewing
company, be removed from the guardian
ship Mrs. Ehrmanntraut charges that
the appointment was gained by fraudu-
lent means and that the Interests of the
guardian are adverse to those of the
ward.
Inc petitioner sets forth that her hus
band died on Feb. "a, 1899, and that in
April she removed to WATERFOWL for the
purpose Of residing permanently and TAX
ing William Roswell Ehrmanntraut with
her' On oct. 3, she says, she was ap-
pointed guardian Of the child by the sur
rogate court Of Jefferson county, New
York.
In September, she alleges, Joseph Ehr-
manntraut filed a petition in the Ramsey
county probate court asking that he be
appointed, and falsely stating that the
ch1lo was resident Of Ramsey county
and has property here. The only estate
that the child has in this county, accord
ing TO the mother, is $1,000 promissory
note, signed by Joseph Ehrmanntraut,
winch IS at present in the hands Of q
Trm or Minneapolis lawyers.
The petitioner further charges that she
was not notified of the appointment of
Enrmanntraut as guardian and that she
believes that he sought the appointment
FOR the purpose of securing possession of
the 900 note. AS further evidence of
this. she says. he has commenced an ac-
ton against the Minneapolis firm to re-
cover possession of the note, which is
still pending.
Judge Bazille issued an order to show
cause, Whlch Will come up for hearing on
next Monday.

THIRTEENTH BAND CONCERT.

The Organization Scores Hit at
the AuditOrium.
The first appearance in concert before
the public of the Thirteenth Regiment
band occurred at the Auditorium last
night During the months of the Thir-
teenth's campaign in the Philippines re-
ports came home of the fame which the
organization had gained in it's concerts
on the Lunetta in Manila, and much ia
vorable comment was heard of the eX-
cellence of the organization. Last night
concert proved to those who heard the
band for the first time that the reports
from Luzon were not without foundation,
and, in a carefully selected programme,
the organization scored an instantaneous
success.
The selection of the Auditorium in
which to hold the concert proved unfor-
tunate as the night was chilly and there
is no way of warming the immense hall
The audience, several hundred in number
were obliged to sit with their wraps on
and the concert was heard under difficult
ties. 1t was significant and a marked
compliment to the band that, during the
long programme, not more than dozen
people left the building, though the cold
was very disagreeable.
Bandmaster Riches selected Sousa S
rousing march, Hands Across the Sea, "
as his first number, and it's rendition
brought rounds Of applause. The band
caught the swing of the march and played
with spirit and vim. The overture to
Tampa American Fantasia" the
waltz moonlight on the Hudson and a
selection from De Kovens robin Hood
were other numbers. A selection from
Gounod's Faust" and the overture from
Mariana were undoubtedly the best
numbers and demonstrated the strength
and ability of the organization. The
Mauritania" overture was especially good.
The execution was brilliant and strong,

Jury acquitted him of the charge of muir
