A REPORTERS PIPE
John E. Glover Discusses That
Famous Interview at Seattle.
KNOWS TOO MUCH OF WHITE PINE
West Coast Papers Quoted Him as
Predicting the Speedy Ex-
hRustiOn of the Supply.

A few weeks ago the Tacoma and Seattle
papers were publishing with manifest sat
lstactlop an interview with John E.
Glover, the well-known white pine lum-
oerman, predicting the exhaustion Of Min
nesota and Wisconsin timber within five
years. Inasmuch as Mr.. Glover, whose
homo Is at Hudson, Wis, Is Intimately
connected with the largest lumber inter-
ests IN this part OF the country, his friends
have been slow to accept the published
interview as authentic. Mr. Glover has
returned from the west and this weeks s
mississippi Valley Lumberman publishes
his denial Of the statements credited to
him in Seattle. The Lumberman says:
MT. Glover positively denies having made
such statement either to q reporter Of any
other individual. His forty years OF expert
ence In the white pine lumber industry and
his entire familiarity with facts did not
warrant him in making a prediction that it
would be exhausted at any stated period and
his keen business ability would have pre-
vented his making such statement even
If 1t was true.
He explained how this interview came to
be published. While at one of the Seattle
hotels, card bearing the name of a well
known family that resides in Hudson was
sent up to his room. Supposing II to be one
OF the boys who had wandered out west, he
sent word to have him come up. 1t was some
time before the mistake was discovered and
he found that he was receiving a young re-
porter for local paper. Some questions were
asked relative to the lumber business both
in the northwest and on the coast, to which
he made suitable answers. Reference was
also made to the fact that number of well
known lumbermen had exhausted their sup
ply Of timber In the white pine section and
were seeking investments on the coast This
was the extent OF the interview and he was
more surprised than anybody else when he
was credited with having made such ridicul-
GUS predictions.

THEY ARE EXPERTS
Burglars Now Operating Here Are
Not Beginners.
TAKE ONLY THE SOLID SILVER
In Many Gases Their Work Has Been
Done In Precisely the Same
Manner.

Numerous burglaries in the vicinity OF
Sunnyside and Lowry hill afford the police
and the apprehensive residents opportuni-
ty to analyze the methods Of the maraud-
ers. 1t was at first thought that the rob-
berries were committed by gang Of anna
teurs, mostly made up of young men and
boys, but recent events have dispelled this
theory, and it is now believed that the
work is that of professionals. This be-
lief is confirmed from the fact that the
robberies seem to be conducted accord
ing to systematic plan and in almost
every instance the incest kind Of dis
criminination and judgment has been
shown by the robbers in the selection Of
booty.
Thus far the robberies have been
planned most carefully. AS a rule,
entrance is effected by removing the
screens from rear windows, and the artl-
cles most sought after by the fastidious
burglars mainly consist Of gold and soma
silverware, which goes to show that they
are no tyros. Among the recent exploits,
three are recalled where entrance was
made in the same manner, and in each
instance nothing but the most expensive
articles Of silverware were taken, the
plated ware being left behind.
On Wednesday night the residence OF
George j. OeaIDOTu, I1lU I'll d4u oNOAuS
was burglarized of a quantity of valuable
silverware all Of the plated ware being
cast to one side, by the practiced night
workers, which shows that they appre-
ciate the difference between solid ware
and the less costly article. The same
method of effecting an entrance was re-
Gently employed at the home Of ]. H. Ker-
rick, 2214 Bryant avenue S, and here, too,
excellent judgment was displayed by the
| burglars, who took nothing but the most
expensive silverware, and a pocketbook
! containing a few dollars.
| IncideI tally, it may be noted that they
have a great penchant for securing keys,
a bunch of which was taken from the resi-
dence of Mr.. Kerriek, and it may be readl-
ly understood how they become handy IN
The nefarious business.
Thus far, they have seldom ventured up
to the sleeping apartments, their efforts
being generally confined to the ground or
parI0r floor. In the same manner as de-
scribed above, entrance was effected to
the home Of ]. L. Smith, where the
! burglars carried away all of the solid sill
verware and couple of overcoats. The
Smith dwelling is at 1928 Bryant avenue.
In addition to the fourth ward burglar
les already reported raids have been
made at the residence of G. ]. Tryon on
Aldrich avenue, and at the home of
Walter Badger on Girard avenue near
Franklin.

HARD FOR WILLIES
Chief Of Police Ames Says They'll
Be Treated as ssVags."
NO NICE TRAMP QUARTERS NOW
Those Who Stop I'm Minneapolis
VIII Have to Break
Stone.

There Is bad news ahead for the Weary
Willies who contemplate wintering in Min
neapolis. No longer will they find here a
haven for their fraternity; no longer will
the police station doors swing wide to
welcome them with comfortable quarters
in the tramprooms. Far out on the prai-
ries, now that Boreas has blown his first
chill blast, tramps have begun to head
this way. They have dreampt fondly Of
the glad hand awaiting them. But they
know not what is in store for them. A
establishment Is at hand.
The fact is that the tramp is to be
persona non grata in "dear old Mime"
hereafter The traditions which have
been handed down in the profession since
the days Of Mayor Eustis' famous soup
kettle" are about to be abandoned. Those
palmy days have gone forever.
Minneapolis once generous treatment Of
the wayfaring ne'er-do-wells made the
city famous in trampdom throughout the
land. Wherever three or more tramps
have gathered together and compared
notes, Mime has been given a high
rating.
Chief of Police Ames said to-day that
there would be heavy frost in Mime
apolis coincident with the arrival Of the
advance guard of tramps this season. He
says:
Instructions will be issued to the captains
Of the different precincts to treat tramps as
vags hereafter. When long distance walker
appears at any OF the stations and asks for
shelter for the night. he will he accommo-
dated. but he will not be granted leave of
absence in the morning. Instead of being
directed to the tramp ROOM free to go and
come as he pleases, he will be locked up in
cell for vagrancy, and given a chance to
work for his living at the workhouse for an
indefinite period thereafter.
The inference should not be drawn from
this that any harsh measures are to be
adopted toward unfortunate or deserving men,
who by any peculiar stress OF circumstances
have been unable to earn money enough to
feed and clothe themselves. There will be
occasional exceptions to this rule, as others.
What I wish to make plain to the intelligent
drones who are too strong to work is that
they can no longer sponge upon the public
with impunity. Our vagrancy laws are pretty
well defined, and they are going to be en-
forced.
A distinction is to be made between condi-
tions obtaining in good and bad times. While
there Is no question but that many deserving
men were thrown out Of work and unable to
secure employment during the hard times
which bred Coxey's army, it is fact that
the shiftless and vicious have profted by
arraying themselves with this class. Now we
are going to draw a fine distinction. AS
long as employment agencies are begging for
men and industry halts because of the scar
city Of labor, able-bodied men can offer no
excuse for Sinking work.

TEXAS STANDARD OIL co.
The Texas OIL Business Not n Specu-
latiOn, but Competitive Business
in Which Management Counts.

In Which management Counts.
The Texas oil business has become an
industry in which it takes experience,
energy and capital to operate successful
ly. The striking Of oil gushers and the
marketing of oil has ceased to be a spec
ulation, and has become legitimate busi-
ness industry Of vast magnitude
Many companies already have gushers,
but have neither the experience energy
nor capital to dispose of the product. The
oil from a gusher is OF enormous value
when sold, but Of little or no value in
the well.
Here Is where the Texas Standard OIL
company shines. Its officers are some of
the best business men Of Minnesota; of
large and varied business experience, and
fully capable Of handling an oil product
worth s5,000,000 per year. Their energy
Is shown In their own business. They
have the experience and the energy, and
you may be sure they will not let this
valuable product stay unsold.
While they have subscribed literally Of
their own means, still larger sums are
needed for pipe lines and tank cars to
get the oil to market.
For this purpose we are still Offering
stock for sale at 20 cents per share, par
value 81. If you want to share in our
profits. subscribe at once. oD not wait
till our gusher comes in, about Oct. 10.
Stock will be higher then.

THIS IS HIS FIRST
August Fulda, Guest of Samuel Hill,
Doing America.
HE IS A BANKER OF PARIS
He Represents Robert Lebaudy and
Has an Eye to Business
Here.

Samuel Hill returned yesterday from
brief trip to England. The purpose OF
Mr.. Hills journey was to accompany Mrs.
Hill home after her tour of the continent.
Mr.. Hill was also accompanied on the re-
turn trip by August Fulda, of Paris, who
represents the financial interests of Rob-
ert Lebaudy, the wealthy Partisan.
Mr.. Hill says all England mourns the
death of President Mckinley, and that
the English people gave evidence Of very
deep affection for the martyred presi-
dent. Mr.. Hill was present at the me-
mortal service in Westminster Abbey and
also at the large meeting held in ST..
Paul's.
The report that he is to move to Seattle
and make that city his headquarters was
a subject which Mr.. Hill did not care to
discuss. He said that he owned a house
in Seattle and would probably spend some
of the winter months on the coast. He
said that he had nothing new to announce
in connection with the interurban line
which he stated some months ago that he
intended to build.
Mr.. Fulda Is a Paris banker He was
averse to being interviewed saying that
he was just seeing America for the first
time. Robert Lebaudy, one of the richest
men in France spent several days in Min
neapolis last summer, coming here with
Mr.. Hill on the later's return from Asia.
! In financial circles Mr.. Lebaudy was cred
tied with being in America to investigate
certain business enterprises with view
to future investments. Mr.. Fulda is also
investigating. He will be the guest Of
Mr.. Hill while in Minneapolis To-day
he visited the mills and inspected the big
stone arch bridge which he regards as a
magnificent piece of engineering
The Marquis Ito, Japan's great political
leader, who left Seattle for Minneapolis
to-day will probably be the guest of Mr..
Hill while here. He will remain several
days in Minneapolis and st. Paul His
itinerary east of here is not known beyond
the fact that he will go to Washington to
pay his respects to President Roosevelt.

Point graduate, was an uncle Of Mrs.
Roosevelt. He was a southerner and an

Des Moines, Iowa, Oct. 5.-The supreme
court handed down a decision to-day fully
uphoIding the constitutionality Of the
special assessment laws of the state which
are based on the front-foot rule Of appor-
tioning the cost of paving and other street
improvements.
The decision was in the case Of Hack
worth VS.. the city Of Ottumwa. Judge
Eichelberger in the trial court held
against the city on the ground that the
special assessment laws were unconstitu-

case of Norwood VS.. Baker In support OF
it's position.

The Rock Island, Milwaukee and Great

cation company directing it's agents to
route all business eastbound that cannot
be carried by the Union Pacific, over the
Denver & Rio Grande and Rio Grande
Western, to the Missouri river, and the
North Western to Chicago Kansas City
business is to go via Kansas Pacific and

These orders are construed as indicat-
ing a strong combination among the Har-
riman and Gould lines to control the west

will be hard hit by this combination. 1t
is thought that this will hasten the COM
