ACCEPT The OFFER AMONG UPPER TEN
Council Practically Certain to Agree
to Remodel Old City Hall
for Public Baths.
An Anonymous Philanthropist Has
Promised to furnish the Funds
Necessary for Project.

=. ~ Il { .8fsS .9tE
The proposition to convert the old city
hall building into municipal bathhouse
is now practically assured of acceptance.
The project has been referred to a spe-
cial committee consisting Of one alderman
from each ward. Of which Alderman
James Dwyer is chairman This commit
tee is scheduled to meet the first of next
week, and judging from the favorable
expressions of different members there
is scarcely a; doubt that they will unani-
mously vote. to accept the offer Of a Min
neapolis philanthropist, made recently
through the columns Of T h e. ou< r nal
to contribute the sum necessary at least
to remodel the building for bathing pur-
poses. t#
Itsis estimated that this can be- done
fora $4,000 or Y $40 900, which the philan-
thropist stands ready to devote to that
purpose the moment the council agrees
to dedicate the old building to that, use.
Favorable action of the committee will
determine the attitude Of the city council
as a whole toward the bath house idea
as half of the members of the council con-
stitute the committee. s>... So, Is.
The philanthropist prefers that his name
shall remain secret until the council
formally accepts his generous offer. zs
Il do not care to- put myself in the
position" he said, 'of coming before the
committee and asking them to accept
such a gift as have in contemplation, ]
have already made known my position
relative to the conversion of the old city
hall into a municipal bath house, and the
committee can govern itself accordingly
1t Is enough to say that I still adhere to
my original proposition and that the funds
will be forthcoming at the proper time
Will consent to the use of my name just
as soon as the committee takes final ac-
tion on the matter .- a.

TOO WELL REGULATED
Free Spirited American Says
John Tempeton.

That he might have had to walk Span
ish down In Mexico is an admission to
be expected from John Templeton, for
merly a brakeman on the Bisbee- -Nacosart
railway, who passed through the twin
cities yesterday. But when he had to
take French leave the situation became
too International for Mr.. Templeton. Il
shan't go back there again. said he.
"It's no place for a reasonable sAmeri-
can," he explained, "at least not on
train crew. The railroads there are too
firmly regulated by the authorities and the
public is too we'll protected. In case
of accident to train the first thing done
is to punish all the tratnmen. Some
months or some years afterwards, If the
authorities don't forget about it, the ac-
cident is investigated, and the response
bility is fixed. And if any of the train
crew happen to be still alive in Jail. they
are released and exonerated. s".&z
"One night at little station called
Fimienta we were yanking some fat cars
off a siding and we yanked them over
the necks of some two-for-fve Mexican
poems that had filled up on mescal and
gone to sleep under the flats. We didn't
ask how many men were killed. We
grabbed our duds out of the caboOse and
we never stopped running till We crossed
the American line. We thought it wouldn't
be polite to intrude upon the grief Of
strangers" - 8@-' - H

DO NOT OPPOSE FREE LUNCH
Minneapolis Restaurant Men and Saloon
keepers Are Not Working to Have /
1t Abolished.

Minneapolis restaurant men and saloon
keepers show little interest in the report
that their brethren in st. Paul. and
especially the restaurateurs of that city,
will seek to have the next legislature pro-
hibit free lunches in saloons. st. Paul
restaurant men who have discussed the
matter insist that they lose important
profits through the competitive attractions
of the free lunch. Besides, it is said that
the saloon men would like to see the free
lunch go, as it is only a loss to them.
But in this city the restaurant men are
making no fight against free lunches.
There has been no meeting of men in
our business here said one of the pro-
prietors of the Regan restaurant this
morning. Il don't think, myself, that we
lose much from that kind of competition.
I have heard of no complaints"
This is an old move" replied "Tooze"
Rogers, saloonist st comes up at every
session of the legislature. But it ism t
specially favored by the saloon men. At
least half of them rather think that the
free lunch makes business and is a good
thing. Instead Of prohibiting meals in
saloons, Minnesota ought to follow New
York and insist that food of some sort
must be served with every drink. That
is the only healthy and natural way for a
man to drink. The saloons could give
the food free, or at a low price, just as
they pleased" --= '.' D.

MAGNATEs AT PEACE
Hartman, Hill, Rockefellers and
Morgan Get Together.

Special to The Journal.
& New York, Aug. 29.-Amalgamated Cop
per was very strong to-day on the belief
that Heinze will probably agree to a
settlement Of the copper war, even though
he refuses to sell out his interest in the
United Copper company. This caused
Arnalgamated to show an advance and
United Copper to be very strong on the
curb. Amalgamated also cut quite a
figure in the market, for its announce
ment that in the future it would send its
output over the Great Northern, Northern
Pacific and Union Pacific in equal proper
tions was important in that it tells of
the end Of the war between the Hartman
roads and the roads controlled by the
Northern Securities company. This means
peace \between Hartman, Hill and the
Rockefellers and Morgan. For years the
Great Northern carried every pound of
copper from the Amalgamated mines; then
the Union Pacific got in, and lately has
carried all Of it. The announcement that
the tonnage is to be divided equally is
said to be due to an agreement between
Hartman, representing the Rockefellers,
and Hill and Morgan.
