Does Not Believe That Engineer
Howe Was Held Up and Robbed.


Howe Was Held Up and Robbed.
Chief of Police Goss discredits the story
Of a hold-up and robbery as told by Ber-
tram H. Howe, the railroad engineer, hv-
ing at S69 Payne avenue, who claims to
have been assaulted and robbed on West
minister street Saturday night, declaring
that Howe acknowledges himself to have
been so much under the influence Of
liquor that he does not remember what
happened. In a statement made to the
police yesterday Howe said all that he
knew was that his watch and $25 were
missing when he finally got home Satur-
day night. He says he does not know
whether he lost the property or 1t was
stolen. When he made his first report Of
the affair, however, to Sergeant Larsen.
of the Margaret station, Howe, the po-
lice say, claimed to have been attacked
and robbed.
81 am tired Of seeing the police shoul-
der the blame for the prevalence of crime
In the city simply to shield some one who
has made a fool Of himself and wants to
square things either at home or with en-
ployers," declared Chief Goss. 1T Is get
ting to be a regular practice for fellows
who spend their money in carousals to
cry robbery when they find themselves in
trouble. 1 don't believe Howe was
robbed" -.

THOMAS ORCHESTRA
Will Be Heard NeHt Week In St. Paul
Mt Peoples Church.

1t Is said that Minneapolis is sharing
with St. Paul the great enthusiasm over
the coming of the Thomas orchestra
next week. At the advance sale at the
Ladies' Thursday musicale and Its friends
yesterday, nearly every seat in the 5Ly-
| ceum theater was sold out, but with lit
tie remaining in Minneapolis for, the gen.
eral public today. Crowds were in wait
Ing at o'clock in the morning.
While a magnificent house is assured
for the Thomas orchestra on next Mon
day evening at the Peoples church in
st. Paul, there are yet several hundred
seats In the large auditorium remaining
for both concerts. and asstte matinee is
not included insthe series,. there is bet
ter chance of seats sfer the afternoon
concert. F@
The programmes are different at both
concerts here, but are almost identical
with those of Minneapolis. The Seventh
Symphony of Beethoven, which Will be
played on Tuesday afternoon, is one of
the most thoroughly enjoyable Of the
whole nine from an emotional point Of
view. At least it was an instant success
when played for the first time in Vienna
| in 1918, the second movement being en-
cored. Wagner called it "the apothesis
of the dance 1t is said to have been
written at the happiest time of Bee
suggested the fun and frolic and delicious
repartee which it contains. Indeed in the
last movement. the orchestra seems to
give itself up to the most unchecked
hilarity, the different instruments cast
ing SLY jokes at each other. While this
symphony may be called the 'piece de
resistance" of the programme, every
number is a gem A musician VIII be
especially interested in the Moorish
Rhapsody by Humperdinck-a new
work by modern composer who has
sprung rapidly into favor. Variety is Civ
en- to the programme by a beautiful vio-
lin obligato to be played by Mr.. Kramer,
first violin Of the Thomas orchestra.
While emphasizing the work of the af-
ternoon programme, it is not intended to
belittle the one on Monday evening,
which is equally attractive.
The sale of seats will continue through
out the week, and out of town parties
can secure favorable pews and special
attention by addressing Mrs. Russell
Dorr, 243 Oakland avenue, st. Paul.

Undoubted Reliability Is Expressed
in st. Paul Endorsement.

What you want Is home Endorsement.
The backing of people you know.
st. Paul proof for st. Paul people.
That's what follows here.
Surely no better backing can be had
than the following statement from Mrs.
John. c. Arnet, of ZIG Acker street, who
says: Mr.. Arnet derived great bene-
fit from the use of Doans Kidney Pills.
For considerable length of time he was
greatly troubled from the lack of proper
action of his kidneys, especially if he
caught cold, when the pain and aching
became intense. An advertisement in
our daily papers led him to go to F. M.
Parker's drug store, corner of Wabasha
and Fifth streets, and get a box of
Doan's Kidney Pills. Its use soon reliev-
ed him, and demonstrated the great
value of this preparation

lies Saloon Were Too Previous.
If the burglars who secured $40 from
the cash register at Leslie's saloon, 4S6
AL Jackson street, early yesterday morn
ing. had broken into the saloon the day
before they might have made richer
haul. The safe, containing a. snug sum
of money, was left unlocked Monday
night, but the burglars delayed their Wis
it too long. The safe is too close to a
street window to permit Of much tinker
ing, so after "frisking' the cash register
the robbers departed.
The burglars got into the saloon by
breaking open a rear window. They had
to remove an iron bar across the inside
of the window also, but that they appar-
emily did with little effort. The bar
tender had left the cash register open, so
the thieves did not have to break the
machine to get the money. After secur-
ing the cash they unlocked a rear door
and made their escape The robbery was
not discovered until the bartender opened
the saloon yesterday morning. The rob-
berry was reported to the police.

BALES OF HAY IN FLAMES.
Commission Firm Of Rings & Co.
Burned Ont, With No Insurance.


Burned Ont, With No Insurance.
Fire and water largely destroyed 400
bales of hay and straw stored in the
wareroom of the Rings & Co. commission
firm, 31S West Seventh street, shortly aft
er Z o'clock yesterday morning, causing
a loss of S1500 to the commission firm
and loss of $500 to Patrick Dougher,
owner of the building. There was no In
surance on either the stock or the build
ing
The fire Is believed to have started
through the careleSsneSs OF some one,
tramps, perhaps, who sought a nights
lodging in the hay When it was discov-
cred the flames had obtained considerab'e e
headway, burning at both ends of the
building When the fire dep irtment reach
ed the scene the interior of the building
was blazing fiercely.. 1t was necessary
to use a great quantity of water, and
took the department nearly three hours
to drown out the fire. There will be
some salvage, as the lower tiers Of bales
were only damaged by water.
A rumor was current during the fire
that incendiarism was responsible sor the
blaze, but neither the firemen nor the po-
lice could find any substantial ground for
this belief.

UNDER THE x-RAYs.
Foot of the Petrified Man ON Exhf-
bition Stands the Test.

Several physicians and surgeons of this
city were present yesterday at an X-ray
examina ton, in the Lowry Arcade, of a
foot broken off petrified man, now on
exhibition on West Sixth street. The
petrifaction, which is the one told of in
a recent article in the G b e, in which
a former acquaintance of Gen. Z. F.
Meagher claimed to identify as the body
of the missing soldier, was found two
years ago in sand bar in the Missouri
river in Montana. 1t has been exhibited
in the National park and throughout
the Western states and has been pro-
nounced a genuine case of petrifaction
by many physicians. The X-ray tests
of yesterday indicated the outline of the
bones in the foot.

Booker T. Washington was guest of
honor at reception rendered him at the
Commercial club yesterday afternoon by
the members of the Law Enforcement
league and their friends. Mr.. Washing
ton, as president of the colored college at
Tuskegee, Ala, but more as an earnest
worker for the uplifting of his colored
brethren In the South, has gained ma
tional prominence, and there were many
white as well coored people present at
the reception yesterday. He made a brief
address:
II am trying he said, with the help
of a devoted company of men and women
in Alabama to work out a problem that
concerns not only the white people of the
South, but the white people all over the
country. South and North cannot be sep
arated. When the South commits crime
the North also suffers 1t has reached a
point where the negro must be especially
trained for Industrial work. L believe
earnestly in the promotion of the negro S
Industrial education. A race minus a
bank account is impotent.' Mr.. Wash
ington spoke hopefully of the negro's fu-
ture in the South, saying that we heard
the discouraging things quickly enough,
but that there were many hopeful signs
as well that we were not so apt to hear.
