RECEINE THEIR CHIEF.

A meeting CT the Roosevelt club was
held last night at the Merchants horel
for the purpose Of making arr angcn5nts
for the reception OF the vice president,
who is expected to be in St. Paul during
fair week.
About a dozen Of the Rough Riders
were present, and the principal subject
under discussion was ways aud means
with which to entertain the honC.-ed
guest.
At the time the club visited Washing
ton during the inaugural last March, 2
promise was secured from Coz. Roosevelt,
that in the event he accepted the invita-
ton to visit St. Paul the members Of
the club were to act as a special escort.
After a discussion it was decided that
the club would send a delegation TO meet
Col. Roosevelt at Chicago and escort
him to this city, and upen his arrival
the club VIII turn oct in uniform and ac-
cord him hOnorS.
The matter of giving private ban

TOO MUCH PUBLICITY
PRACTICE OFlLIoNrzING YoUNGERs
AT PRESCRIPTIONS ARoUsEs
INDIGNATION
IT LOOKS LIKE ADVERTISING
Attorney General Douglas Gives
His Views, and Gov. Van SAINT
Will Investigate the
Matter

Inc practice of lioniZing the Younger
prothers and holding daily receptions Tor
thefn' adopted by their employer has
proved hlghiy repugnant to a major
portion, IL not all, of the officials through
whose lnStrumentality the parole of the
prisoners was brought about, and has
PROVOKED "a strong sentiment of public
censure. 1t is generally pronounced to
DC direct violation of the intent of
the law which authorized the parole
ana the spirit of the parole agreement
ana the contract under which the
YCungers Were EMPLOYED.
attorney General Douglas one of the
members OF the board of pardons, said
!eSteraay: The board of pardons has
taken ITS action, and now has no fur
ther jurisdiction in the matter; but L
should be strongly in favor of the can
collation. of that contract. The matter. I
pelieVe' now rests with the board of
PRISON managers, which will be super
seeded Aug. by the state board of con-
trol- 1 Go not remember just how the
law reads on that particular point, and
II may De that the authority rests with
the warden alone. However, those pub
nc receptions should be stopped at once
by the ofncial authority upon whom the
uuty oeVolVes. regard the course taken
by the employer of the Youngers as i'm
poiitlc and at variance with the entire
spirit of the parole. Whether it is pro-
fessedly an advertising plan or not, the
hrm Is getting advertising out of it. and
Their object, it seems to me, is obvious. :,
Gov. Van SAINT, who is also a member
OF the pardon board, when asked to ex-
press his views, said:
Don't ask me to speak of that just
now. You know l have been out of the
CITY Tor some days and L knew nothing
Oh II until few minutes ago, when it
was brought to my attention by pub
nc oIlclal who is a good friend of tne
toungerS. l shall investigate as soon as
possible, and then, If what l have heard
Is true, shall have something to say"
Caief Justice Start of the supreme
court. who is the other member of the
BOARD, could not be seen yesterday, as
he is out of the city.
me reception Of yesterday at the place
or business of the Youngers' employers
was less of demonstration than that
of the previous day. Thus far Cole alone
has appeared at these functions, and
either the public curiosity has been pa--
TALLY stated or newspaper criticism has
had tendency to discourage the plan
The crowd of yesterday was noticaably
smaller and consisted very largely of
boys. Soon after y Cole left the store
and did not return until the reception

REWARDS FOR ROBBERS
GREAT NORTHERN EMPRESS co. IS
SUES DESCRIPTIVE CIRCULAR.
Sheriff JustHs Furnished With Rec
Ords of Bandits and Descrip-
ton of Money and Cur
rency Taken

Sherlm JuStuS yesterday received from
the Great Northern Express Company 4
circular offering $500 for information
leading to the arrest of the train robbers
who held up the Great Northern Flyer

peatedly arrested for horse stealing, rob-
ber.es and other crimes. In 1882 ne held

other men near Malta, Mont and al
though two of his confederates were ap-
capped, and has since been implicated in
the robbery of a number of banks at
Wlnnemucca, New, and Belle Fourche,
S. d. For the last crime he was ar
rested, but escaped from jail at Dead
wood Oct 81, 1851

TONS OF TIN PLATE
LOCAL TRUST PLANT NOT GRIP
Piled BY EASTERN
STRIKE
PLANT WORKING FULL TINE
Before Strike WINS Declared Supply
Sufficient for Two Months
Was Obtained From
the East.

While many of the largest steel and
tin plants in the East are practically
tied up by the strike whicn is gong on
among the union mill men making steel
and tin plate, the local trust PLAN, for
merly that Of Horne & Danz, is going at
full blast, and at its fullest capacity.
The reason for this, as explained by J.
j. Miner, who has been the manager
since the trust took hold, is that a large
amount Of tin plate was secured before
the strike was declaYed At the time
of the transfer of Inc plant q COnsideTa-
bic amount of plate was on hand, and
since then a large quantity has been i'm
ported from the East. In addition to what
is already on hand, shipments contracted
for some time ago are on the way, and
there is no danger Of a scarcity for at
least two months, and by that tine the
strike will in all probability be declared
off
In the East some of the large plants
have been reduced to such straits for
material taat steel and tin plate Is beng
imported from Wales, in order that they
may be able to complete contracts. This
is proving costly, as under normal condi-
tons the American steel plate manufac-
turers can undersel the Welsh product
in the English market.
. There is no strike on, as is supposed
in many quarters. among the men who
manufacture the finished articles from
the plate as it comes from the mills
The disaffectiOn is among the men who
manufacture steel plate from pig iron
and those who make tin plate from
the rough metal as it comes from the
mines. Many of the largest plants, which
use enormous quantities of both, are
so completely dependent upon the mills
where plates are made that a stOppage
in the supply cripples them almost imme-
diately.
The local tn plant supplies practically
the entire Northwest with tin pals and
other receptacles of the same material
and because of the large surplus stock
of plate on hand, the strike has increased
it's activity rather than exercising the
opposite effect
The present state of affairs is not ex-
D pected to continue for any length OF
time, and whichever side wins, the mills
are eXE ected to be in full running order
all over the country inside of a month.
The demand for both steel and lin pla,e
is very active, and the big plants cannot
afford to remain idle for a moment long
er than is absolutely necessary

ASK A STIFF FIGURE
NEW PUMPING STATION AT VAD-
NAIS COSTS NEARLY DOUBLE
THE ESTIMATE
LABOR FAMINE THE CAUSE
Contractors Declare They Have to
Pay Fancy Prices-Water
Board LnbOrers Get
a Raise.

Two months ago, when a new brick
pumping station was contemplated for
Lake Vadnais, $3.50 was figured as the
maximum of cost, but when bids were
opened yesterday a heavy excess was
shown. Only one bid was lower than
$le.eto, William Portens ask ng that hgdIc,
while the others ranged from $4,000 to
$lO,SO3 The latter price, viii n was the
! highest, was demanded by P NJ Hen
nessey.
The exodus OF common latorers to the
harvest fields, and surfeit OF employ
rnent for skilled help was assigned a IS. the
cause, and the board, seeing that it was
in for it, finally compromised by wing
! the contract to William POI. ems for
$3.50, sufficient extras being stricken out
to bring it down to that sum
While building at present is unusually
! brisk in st. Paul, and in fact in NJ nne-
aFo1is, contractors say that mere Noald
be done were it net for the scarcity Of
men. By alluring promises, thousands
are drawn away from the cities by en-
plOyment agencies, sometimes only to find
when they arrive at the harvest fields CT
the Northwest that they have been mis-
informed
Another evide nee of the unwilIngness of
men to work, even when fancy prices are
being offered, was shown yesterday, when
the water board was compelled to offer
fiat rate CT 81 a day in order to retain
what are known as quarrymen. These
are men employed in removing rock for
the laying cf mains and water pipes
throughout the city. Thursday after
noon about twenty laid down their tools
and refused to work unless the advance
was given, and the superintendent was
compelled to promise it, relying on the
board to sustain him They We're receiv-
ing $175 and $l.S5 day the latter figure
being given where the distance was great
enough to require car fare.
On the Rice street paving contract, he'd
by Conway & Co, considerable trouble is
being had in securing hands eXtort onat e
wages being demanded by the men Last
week it was the heat, laborers falling out
as many as ten and fifteen a day. Now
it is the wages.
