WANTED FOR MURDER
HENRY SUMMERS, COLORED, AR
RESTED IN ST. PAUL.

Henry Summers a colored man in the
employ of the st. Paul Gas Light COM
pany, was arrested yesterday afternoon
by Detective Frazer near the gas house
on East Sixth street on the charge of
murder. Summers was brought to the
central station and tabled as a fugitive
from justice. According to the police,
Summers is wanted at Bolivar, Tenn,
for the murder of William Lewark, a
white man, on the evening of Nov. I,
1900. Summers does not deny that he is
the man wanted but claims that it was
the other man who was with him at the
time who murdered Lewark. Summers
said last night that he went to the room
of a colored lady friend with another
colored man, who travelled with a show.
While there he claims that Lewark, with
some friends, came to the door and
threatened to break it in. This angered
his friend, and he opened his door. He
had an ak in his hand and felled Lewark
with one blow Summers left the little
town in Tennessee and came to st. Paul.
!. Last March he secured employment with
the gas company, and has been living at
years old and single Chief OConner was
notified to look out for Summers, and
Detective Fraser was detailed on the
case. Summers was in Duluth for few
days, and came back to st. Paul the lat
ter part of last week. Fraser got on his
trail and arrested him yesterday after
noon. There is a reward of $3.50 offered
for Summers

PLUMBERS ARE FINDING 1T Diff
CULT TO GET SUPPLIES FROM
MANUFACTURERS
STEAM PIPE FAN
JObbers Report That Eastern Manu-
facturers Cannot Meet Demands,
and Jump i'm Prices Has
Followed.

Local plumbers have been watching
with no little apprehension yhe gradual
increase of prices on all kinds of PLUMP
erS' materials, such as pipe material
brass and lead goods, sheet and gall
Vanize1 iron and tin. Plumbers and
s.eamhttcrs are beginning to f, ell the Ell
fects of the rapid rise in prices on thess
materials. The prices today are 20 per
cent higher than three months ago, ard
N Just one week a 10 per cent rise was
noted. The end is not yet, and there is
no telling where the upward tendency Will
stop
The particular kind of iron pipe that
has increased in price the most is that
adapted to the heating app lrat IS used
In constructing hotels, residences ard
apartments. Pipes of these grades an i
sizes. it is declared, are practically not
ID be procured at any price by the steaa.-
filters. Some jobbers are entirely out of
the pipe, and they report that it is reNt
t9 impossible to get it from the manu-
facturers. Iron bath tubs are also in
cluded in the list of advances, and the
jobbers take orders only on condition that
they ship as soon as possible.
1t is said that the dearth in pipe ma
terial is SO hampering the steamrtters
that it is in consequence making a con-
siderable boom in all sorts of furnace
and hot air apparatus. Many builders
in the large cities under time contracts
are considering seriously a change in the
heating apparatus of their buildings I'M
der construction in preference to the long
delay, which, it seems at present, must
occur before the steamftters can OBJ
tain their pipe material.
The scarcity of material is what is
bothering the plumbers most, as at least
a portion of the increased prices will be
allowed to rest on their customers.

LAW IS ENFORCED
WARM TRIBUTE TO DAIRY AND
FOOD DEPARTMENTS
METHODS
FIRMS IMPROVE PRODUCTS
In Order to Sell to ST. Paul Jobbers,
Eastern Manufacturers Are
Compelled to Make
Pure Goods.
FIRMS IMPROVE PRODUCTS

| member of one of the largest man
! ufacturing esta blishments in New York
city paid high tribute to the efficiency
| of the Minnesota department of dairy and
| food and the pure food laws of the state
| yesterday.
Some time ago the firm of which this
gentleman is a member submitted sam
| pies of the firm products to the depart
| ment for analysis The analysis proved
| that every sample submitted was below
the standard required by law. This
gentleman came from New York to con-
suit with the department and was told
just what would have to be done to
bring the articles up to the required
standard of the state. He insisted that
it was outrageous, would not be sub
mitted to- and threatened to take the
matter into court. Commissioner Nc
Council explained that the law must be
enforced; that if it was taken into the
courts it would be very expensive for
the firm, would probably accomplish
nothing for them and suggested that the
money which such test would cost be
used in bringing the manufactured arti-
eles up to the required standard. The
gentleman was not at first inclined to
do this. He went to the jobbers of st.
Paul who handle his line, and they told
him that unless he was willing to i'm
prove his goods as required by the law
they would be compelled to buy else
where. He finally decided to act upon
Mr. McConnells suggestion. Recently
another batch of samples was submitted
to the department and examined and
found to be all right. This gentleman
was here yesterday and called upon the
department. He finds it easier to get
orders when he can guarantee his goods
as being up to the standard prescribed
by Minnesota law. The higher price
charged for the new article he says does
not interfere with his business. In one
case, where the retailer kicked on the
increased price, the firm offered to supply
the old article at the old price provid-
ing the retailer took it off their hands
entirely and assumed the responsibility
for it's sale. He told the commissioner
that the business in Minnesota and Mich
igan, where the laws were very stringent,
was far more satisfactory than in those
Southern states where the food laws were
lax and imperative
This is a striking Illustration of the sue
cess which the department is meeting
in it's pure food crusade, assisted by the
cooperation of the local jobbers.

ASSEMBLY COMMITTEE FAVORS
PUBLIC BATH BOULEVARD.

Dr. WhNcomb's plan to connect the
public baths and the Wabasha bridge
with boulevard, thirty feet wide and
parallel with the Omaha spur now being
built on the West side, was favorablY
considered by the assembly committee on
streets yesterday, and it will now go
before the body for ratification. The
cost is figured at $1,000, but as the mem
bers have little knowledge from what
fund the money will be taken, there is
not much likelihood of the work being
done this year.
The members also gave their approval
to the request of DR.. Ohage to be per-
mitted to employ a sand dredge for the
purpose of constructing several new
bathing pools for Harriet island

DIED VERY SUDDENLY.
Mrs. AImeda j. Knapp Passed Away
Without Warning ON Seventh ST.

The many friends of Mrs. Almeda ].
Knapp, wife of Benjamin ]. Knapp, Of
the Great Northern railway, will be sur
prised to learn of her sudden death,
which occurred yesterday afternoon
while attending to some errands on Sew
enth street. The members of her fam
lily and physician were hastily sum-
moned, but Mrs. Knapp passed away
soon after their arrival without fully re-
gaining consciousness. Mrs Knapp had
been enjoying very good health recently
and the sinking spell from which she
did not rally can only be accounted for
as some sudden ailment of the heart.
OF a particularly amiable disposition
Mrs. Knapp had many friends and &C,
quaintances in st. Paul, where she had
resided for number of years.
Mrs Knapp was a member of st. Paul
chapter, Order of the Eastern Star. and
was active in church and society circles.
Besides her husband, two daughters and
a son, number of relatives and a
large number of friends are left to
mourn her loss. The funeral will be
held Thursday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock
from the family residence, 6O7 Cook
street.

HAS MADE NO CUTS
BOARD OF CONTROL HAS BEEN
GENEROUS ON SALARY
QUESTION
PERQUISITES ARE CUT OFF
As General Rule Heads of State
Institutions VIII Draw More
Money Than Last
Year.

The new schedule of salaries of Of
ficers and subordinate employees at state
institutions, adopted by the state board
of control. does not become effective until
today. Ever since the board assumed its
official duties it has had the salary ques-
ton under consideration and recently the
schedule was finally fixed.
Discussing this question with the
Globe yesterday, w. E. Lee, of the
board of control, said:
1T has been reported that there was
q strike at our st. Peter insane hospital
on account of a decrease in the wages
of employees, but that statement is en-
tirely unwarranted. Three of the cooks
at that institution left because their
wages had been reduced S. a month each,
TO conform with the amount paid for
the same work in other institutions of
Che same class.
The object of the board in making up
its schedule has been simply to equaliZe
the pay of each class of employees, and
on the whole there has been no reduction.
The payrolls, with the exception of the
Red Wing Training school, were not
changed by this board at all until now.
The salaries of superintendent of in
sane hospitals and asylums have all been
fixed at $500 a year, which in most
cases is a raise of $500 year although
under our rules some of the perquisites
of the superintendent have been cur
tailed. Formerly it was permitted that
the superintendent should purchase spe-
cial supplies for his own household at
the expense of the state Now we al
low the superintendent to use the stores
paid fer by the state, but in doing so
they must be content with the supplies
purchased for the institutions genera--y
and must not buy special goods for
themselves.
''Dr. Kilbourne, superintendent of the
Rochester hospital, formerly drew but
$500, and will now get $2,7OO. He lives
in the institution; DR.. Tomlinson, at St
Peter, has had a salary of $780, with
$1,000 additional for household expenses,
and lives in a cottage on the hospital

THIEVES ON CROCUS HILL
RESIDENCE OF WILLIAM X. FIELD
ENTERED ON SATURDAY.

An audacious thief or a gang of thieves
is terrorizing the neighborhood of Gro
Gus hill. Saturday night the residence
of William K Field, 776 Fairmount ave-
nue., was broken into and Mr.. Fields
watch and quantity of silverware and
$1s in cash were stolen. The burglar en-
tered through a window in the front of
the house, and after selecting what he
wanted, left by means of the rear door,
leaving both door and window open be-
hind him. So quietly did he proceed
about his work that not a sound was
heard by the inmates of the house. Other
residents on the hill report adventures
with would-be burglars, but in every in
stance except that of Mr.. Fields the
thieves have been frightened away.
