A SLIPPERY ONE
The Colored Porch Climber Suspect
, Escapes From West Superior
- Police. .,

Charles Clark, the colored man who was
arrested in Kansas. City several weeks ago
upon suspicion Of being connected with
the various porch climbing raids in Min
neapols, but who was found to be, the
wrong man and was turned over to the
authorities at West Superior on charge
Of burglary, is again free. This time he
broke Jail. =
Clark is said to be a bad character. He
has been operating throughout the north
west and is thought to be a member of
an organized gang Of colored thieves who
caused the authorities of the Duluth and
West Superior a great deal of trouble.
His actions were called to question by the
officers several times but he was always
able to give plausible explanation and
was never arrested in the northwest
When he went to Kansas City about six
weeks ago he was arrested upon infornla-
ton telegraphed from this city and a
large quantity Of stolen property was
found in his possession. This property
proved to have been stolen from stores in
West Superior and although he had al
ready been, sentenced to a year in the
chain gang: in the Missouri city on a
charge Of yagrancy, he was released and
turned over to the Wisconsin authori-
ties ar.Ht -.r... ~. ..,.>--... <.
. His escape causes a great deal OF cha
grin among police officials both at West
Superior and in other cities where Clark
has operated. His description has been
sent to police departments Throughout the

BY WAY OF TWINS
A Grand Trunk Line From Chicago
to the Coast Regarded as
Probable.
Wisconsin Central and Line From
Here to the Canadian North
ern Would Fix It.

A new through line from Chicago to the
coast by way Of Minneapolis is believed to
be a strong probability. The pending ne
gotations between the Grand Trunk and
the Canadian Northern for the absorption
of the latter or at least for a strong traffic
alliance has started active speculation
to the need to the Grand Trunk of short
cut from Chicago to connect through the
twin cities with the transcontinental line
from Portland, Me-. and Quebec over the
Grand Trunk and the Canadian Northern.
This transcontinental plan involves the
connection Of two roads by few miles OF
track construction from Georgian Bay,
the western terminus of the Grand Trunk.
to Port Arthur, the eastern terminus of
the Canadian Northern.
The Grand Trunk, which enters Chi
cago from the east could easily form a
traffic line to Winnipeg through Mime
apolis. by leasing lines already built, or by
engineering a new route. From Chicago
the Grand Trunk would find access to the
twin cities over the Wisconsin Central. or
by the Great Western lines. both of which
are said to have been approached by
Wouldbe purchasers. :
From Minneapolis to Winnipeg would
be more difficult purchase proposition,
but it IS believed that the Grand Trunk
would rot st"t, at laying out a line, or, as
fas been sus:gested. i: may eithe. l,"r-
chase or make e friendly agreement with
the new MlTrea polls, Superior, st Paul
s. Winnircss line which crosses the Mis-
siss1pp1 at Champlin and connects at
Beaudette, Mimi, with the Canadian
Northern. The Grand Trunk would I'M
doubtedly embrace the opportunity to alb
sorb q new road, or make an agreement
with some other twin city line to Winni-
peg.
General Manager c. M. Hayes Of the
Grand Trunk will not confirm the rumor
that his road will enter Minneapolis, but
the negotiations toward forming a new
transcontinental route would indicate that
to compete with the other three coast
lines and their Chicago connections
through the Minneapolis gateway it would
be absolutely necessary to secure direct
line through the twin cities to the Grand
Trunks western terminus at Chicago.

NO P. O. PHYSICIAN
DR.. H. S. Williams Will Retire From
Government Seruica Nov 2O

Much regret is expressed at the post
office that the Washington authorities
cannot see their way clear to retain DR..
II. S. Williams Of this city as official
physician of the local Office But in spite
of representations made to the depert-
ment, DR.. Williams will retire Nov, 80.
On that date, according to a recent ruling
or the postmaster general, no postofice
physician will be retained in cities having
a population of less than 100000.
Dr. Williams services have become al
most Indispensable at the local office since
MS appointment in July, 1900. From to
IL a. m. each week day he has remained
at the federal building. ready to give pro-
fess1ona1 advice to ailing employees, who
were also privileged to call upon him #
MS own office in their leisure hours. The
prompt and gratuitous treatment so af-
forded has enabled the clerks and carriers
to maintain themselves in much better
physical condition than if : they were
Obliged to seek assistance at their own
expense from some outside physician. The
office has profited accordingly. The free
medical attendance was much valued bv
the employees, being an equivalent, in
many cases, to additional salary
The office was also glad to have at ha nd
an expert observer to discover and@renove
the defects in sanitation. For such SER
vices there will be no funds available after
Nov. 80.
The physical examination of new en-
ployes was another duty devolving UNION
the official physician. He tested their
eyesight, their hearing and their general
health ~-.... .-

TO CIRCLE CALHOUN
Work on the New Lake Boulevard
Will Probably Begin Next
Season.
The New Drive Would Have Both
an Aesthetic and a. Utili-
tartan Value.

If the park board finances are in such
Shape as to stand the necessary expend1-
ture, next season may see the commence
ment of work toward the completion Of
the boulevard around Lake Calhoun.
With that end in view the board has al
ready secured a rough sketc hof the pro-
posed right Of way, and "feelers' have
been put out to- sound the sentiment of
abuttlng property owners With the ex-
ception of Cedar lake, which will probably
ultimately be incorporated into the Min
neapolis park and boulevard system, the
lake boulevard driveways of Minnea polls
will then be complete. 1t is now pro-
posed to extend the boulevard on the far
shore Of the Lake Of the Isles around the
west shore Of Calhoun connecting with
the Harriet boulevard at Interlachen. The
two mile stretch Of lake shore thus added
to the system will be: one of the most
picturesque drives about the city and Is
the one thing needed in addition to the
river drives, to complete the natural
charms of Minneapolis famed boule-
wards.
A few individual property owners on the
west shore of Calhoun are objecting but
the board hopes to secure the right of
way without being forced to institute
condemnation proceedings: The di-
directors Of the Minikahda club which
has large frontage on the lake, are en-
tirely agreeable to the construction of the
boulevard along the lake shore, but they
are uncondditionally opposed to any
change In the place which may switch the
drive to the rear of their premises which
would cut the golf links in two and inter-
fere seriously with that sport.
In the face Of the Minikahda clubs Of
pection to such a deviation, the board has
received an fnducement from John r.
Norris, the real estate dealer. He offers
to give the board title to a considerable
stretch of property along the south shore
in the Interlachen district, provided the
boulevard is made to include Calhoun
boulevard avenue several blocks west of
the lake, for a short stretch. If Mr. Nor
r1s offer is accepted, the boulevard would
leave the lake north Of the Minikahda
club and strike the lake shore again sew
eral blocks south of the club grounds.
Real estate men agree that the encircl-
ing of Calhoun by a boulevard would
greatly enhance the value Of property on
the south and west shores Of the lake.
and would result in the rapid develop
ment of that section.

The Journal and the Minnesota

gle. Accordingly plan has been devised
which will not only give the general
features Of the game in quite as salts

but will also depict all the finer details of
the battle In most satisfactory and
graphic manner.
The exact length of gains by carrying
the ball. the point in the line over which
the gains are made, the kicks, fumbles
