LEAVE CITY, CLEAN
Purpose Of Acting Mayor Jones in
=. Closing Up Affairs of Ad- ,-
: ....-. az ministration.
Gambling at an End-Vice Confined
to Slum Limits-Wine Rooms
+ ~ l.. :.@ = l..
~~"@ Nearly All Gone.

Mayor Jones will endeavor to turn over
to his successor a morally clean city
While 1T has been his aim to enforce all
laws within his jurisdiction, he has paid
particular attention to gambling and the
social evil, and is fairly we'll satisfied
with the results. Not that he has re-
formed the people of loose morals, but vice
has been restricted to the narrowest linn
its and temptations have been removed
from many places which have been their
haunts. 49, ',f.@
One of the most difficult ordinances to
enforce is the wineroom ordinance. Many
salOonkeepers are law abiding. When an
edict went forth that the partitions must
go. this class Obeyed with alacrity. The
other element however. proved harder to
handle, for under the Ames regime they
had availed themselves of every possible
privilege. The question for the police
force was to bring these saloons into line.
Saloon men explained that the rooms
were "stockrooms, - "prvate Offices ETC.,
but by constant surveillance, threats. ar
rests and prosecutions, the wineroom evil
is being gradually eradicated.
Although Mayor Jones has only few
more days in which to direct the affairs
of the city, he will keep the police force
on it's mettle to the end. In all probable
ity there will not be a single wineroom
in the city when the regular biennial
change in administra tons take place, Jan
5. The gambling houses will all be closed
and the half world will be confined to its
own precincts. Slot" gambling machines
have been suppressed even though they
paid winnings in cigars or candy instead
of money. H.

he could be convicted on the more serious
charges against him.
Many believe DR. Ames to be in Canada,
If he should be found on Canadian soil,
he will have to be recovered with much
red tape through the offices Of the state
department at Washington. County At
torney F. H. Boardnan would have to
take the itiative, requesting Governor
S. r. Van SAINT to take action. The papers
would be made out by Attorney General
William B. Douglas, in the name Of the
governor, and forwarded to John Hay,
secretary of state. - If approved by him
application for eXtradition would be made
to Michael Herbert, rBitish ambassador at
Washington, who would indorse it and
forward it to the Canadian authorities.
They would transmit it to the local au-
thorities where the fugitive mayor
was found. and those authorities would be
obliged to honor the request. 80.
The only chance to secure the mayor S
freedom would be by habeas corpus pro-
ceedings in the Canadian courts, which
in a recent notable case defeated the ends
of justice. So. ~.

GRANGE IN SESSION ~.,
The Minnesota Branch Holding Its
34th. Annual Meeting. -

The thirty fourth annual, session of the
Minnesota State grange began this morn
ing in Morgan Post hall, . corner Third
street and .Nicollet avenue. Preliminary
business occupied the forenoon and the
chief feature of the afternoon session was
the address of the master, Mrs. Sarah G.
Baird. 49, ..- p %,.E
The Minnesota grange, organized in
1869, was the first state grange estab-
lshed. it also bears the distinction of the
only state association which has chosen a
woman to fill it's highest office, that of
master. The attendance was not quite
up to that Of last year but more delegates
are expected for the three meetings to be
held tomorrow. ~.
Mrs. Baird. who has served for twenty
years. twelve as treasurer and eight as
master, reported financial conditions high
ly satisfactory, the treasury being $3.50 to
the good. This is especially gratifying in
view Of the fact that twenty years ago the
association was financially a wreck.
Three hundred and forty-four oranges
have been organized or recognized this
year, making an addition of 10000 mem
bers. Mrs. Baird gave a comprehensive
account of the work accomplished by the
Minnesota association in the thirty-four
years of it's existence.

NO SETTLEMENT YET
The Shaft-Pierce Cutters Still Out
Statement by Mr.. Shaft. - = .

/ The cutters at the Shaft-Pierce Shoe
company's factory, 219 First avenue N
are still out on a strike and there may be
some difficulty in reaching settlement
ing up the cutters price list, and the man
ayers of the concern are determined to
maintain the piece-work system in use
in the factory w. S. Shaft says:
ut will cause us considerable incon-
venience and quite an expense to straight
en- out the work which was dropped at
various stages of completion. Our fac
tory is now, and has been operated large
ly on the piece work system, which has
always seemed to meet the ideas of our
Workmen up to this time. We have cut
tiers who make considerable, more at our
piece-work prices than they demand by
the day under their new schedule. All
workmen are paid according to their abili-
ty, although the prices we are paying to-
day are considerably higher in all depart
ments than they were a year ago. We
have spared no pains or expense in max
ing our workrooms neat, cheerful and
comfortable, and the work is given out in
large jobs to the operators, so as to ena-
BILE them to accomplish full days work
with little or no Inconvenience.
We are not adverse to union workmen
and have made no discrimination between
union or non union cutters, but have en-
deavored to place every man on his 5rwn
merits, whether an apprentice, artisan or
foreman.
This plant has run very steady during
the past year, and but for this unfortunate
occurrence, would have finished the year
with 300 days of steady work to the credit
of the employees. ILL -
"The cutters price list as presented to
us by the Boot and Shoe Workers: union
is all right from their standpoint, but not
from ours, as it tends to put all kid cut
tiers on the same level, and at practically
the same pay. whereas, kid cutters differ
in ability as much as they differ in dispo-
sition Some cutters are extremely quick
but lack in Judgment, and vice versa
Also, some cutters are possessed with both
speed and good Judgment while others
arc lacking in both essentials. These quail
ifcations we claim should be considered
in deciding on the wages to be paid them.

She was president of the Primary Sunday
School union and child conversion and
child training were subjects in which she
vitality interested. Mrs. Randall was
also president of the Baptist Woman S
Missionary Society Of the West, and was
in close touch with hundreds of workers
in the foreign field.
In her girlhood. which was spent in
Michigan, Mrs. Randall hoped to become a
foreign missionary but sickness in her
family obliged her to change her plans.
She came west with a brother in 1864 and
taught school in St. Paul until her mar
rige to John P. Randall. Church work
claimed a large share Of her interest and
there was no woman in the state who oc-
cuDjed more prominent or more helpful
position in Baptist circles.
The funeral was held this afternoon
from the First Baptist church, which Mrs.
Randall joined in 1854 The services were
conducted by Rev. II. F. Stilwell and Rev.

Housekeepers who suppose the state

Washburn's report contains much gen

interesting account of the original expert

While some abatement of the MOSQUITO
nuisance was observed after the too in
frequent applications of oil to the marshy
breeding places, the state entomologist
concludes that until such places are
drained and filled, residents in such To-
calitles must expect more or less trouble
One interesting characteristic of the mos
quito larVa, or ''Wiggler'' is indicated by
Dr. Washburn's observations on little
fellow held captive in an outdoor breed
ing jar late in the fall. One night the
water in the jar froze solid but when it
sumed operations as clipper as you
please and to show his contempt for the
freezing process, speedily proceeded to
slough off his wiggler uniform and became
an active and robust pupa.

ronella on face and hands is said to cause
mosquitoes to avoid you. -.
The humble but knowing cockroach is
honored with a full page group of life
sized portraits and an extended Write-up
in DR.. Washburns report. Their well
known migra tory habits in apartment
houses and their wisdom concerning poi
soned habits and other traits are touched
upon. The most effective remedy
is said to be hydrocyanic gas but as this
is equally fatal to the hired girl and the
