ITS WORK NOT DONE
The Courthouse and City Hall Com
mission Will Not Retire from
Office, Yet. 49,.
It Is Estimated That About $780,
600 More Must Be Spent Upon
the Building. ~.

1t does not follow because the city hall
has been formally opened and taken pos
session of by the city officials, that the
board of courthouse and city hall COM
missioners is ready to go out of existence.
Over in st. Paul, where the county and
city building has been completed for ten
or fifteen years, the commission is still
in existence, and Indispensable that A. D.
1920 will see the Minneapolis commission
doing business at the old stand.
The building, for that matter. is not
nearly completed. The main entrance,
which is to be one of the most elaborate
and at the same time most imposing in
the country, has. not been touched yet.
The elevators on the city side are not
in; there are no permanent sidewalks
about the city hall; the. municipal court
Judges and clerks want to get out Of the
cellar and secure quarters where the sun
can shine in occasionally; the board of
health demands quarters of size and APP
pearance in keeping with the dignity of
the department; the circular fort in the
central court, about. which more ques-
tions are asked in a minute than about
everything else in the building, is not
completed. :. -v.~l
There is plenty Of work for the COM
mission yet and as of yore the commits
sioners will not shirk their duty, but will
remain until legislated out Of office.
1t is estimated that about $500, 900 more
ought to put the whole, building in ex-
cellent condition, and nearly half Of this
sum would be needed for the main emit
rance on Fourth street The legislature
is expected to make some provision for
funds for the. commission, either by an
other bond issue or through direct taxa
ton ~:
The commissioners say they are anxious
to let go and if the means are provided
they will complete the building with al
possible despatch and retire. If only
| about 100000 is allowed, the commission.
ers will finish the Fourth street entrance
| and provide eleva tors for the city hall side

A Dishonest Clerk Took Telltale
Mittens in Part Payment
for Stolen Goods. )

A prominent wholesale house, which
has been losing considerable property
through the populations of a dishonest
employee, has had the property recovered
and the thief arrested, Monday, before
going on. The credit for this clever piece
Inspector Scallon and Detective Thomas
Gallagher. and both men have received
the thanks Of the house.
Inspector Scallon, as he received his
daily reports from the pawnbrokers,
noticed that a large number of new tools
were being pawned. He considered this
strange and investigation showed that
the goods were from a prominent hard
ware firm, and were sold by one Of it's
employees. He reported to Superintend-
ent Of Police E. F.. Waite and Detective
Gallagher was detailed.
1t was learned that the young man
had secured a pair of mittens in exchange
at the paWnshOp. The officers took a po-
sition at the entrance to the wholesale
house, where they could see the en-
ployes as they entered. They had not
waited long when the young man came in
wearing the mittens. Detective Gallagher
told him he was wanted to identify some
stolen property left in a pawnshop. and
when he arrived there the pawnbroker
positively identified: him as the man who
had disposed of. the TOOLS.
The young man was arrested and the
manager of the wholesale house called in.
He concluded not to prosecute on account
of the young mans family, and he was
released from custody. :" -

AN ALLEGED THUG
A. M. Olson Held to- the Grand Jury on
- Complaint Made by Gust
RAraen.

A. M. Olson. a young man residing at
Plymouth and Dupont avenues n, was
arraigned in: municipal court this morn
ing on charge Of highway robbery and
was held to the grand jury in $1,000 bail
He is accused of holding. up Gust Bergen
from Edna Mills. just outside a Wash
ington avenue saloon.
According to the story told by Bergen.
he met Olson in a saloon about a week
ago and the two spent the day together.
About p. m. the two left the saloon to-
gether. and just as they stepped outside.
Olson knocked Bergen down and robbed
him! of $2S Nothing more was seen of
him until he was arrested by Detectives
Carroll and Brundage., -. ~ g..
It is thought that Olson was partner
of John Wilson; who was held to the grand
jury yesterday upon similar charge. This
supposition is based upon the fact that
about an hour after Olson is claimed to
have held up Bergen Wilson picked up
the young man and took him to a lodging
house, where he succeeded in getting a
$40 bill from Bergen's pocket which had
been overlooked.

PRETTY LIVELY, THANK YOU.

The most preposterous statement
made by the old parties in this cam
paign is that the peoples party is
dead.
Dead, forsooth! Why, it was never
more alive in all its history. A party
that can leave it's impress on the plat
forms of all the other parties will not
be safe subject for coroner to sit
on. And that is just VIII at the peoples

Right here in Minnesota republicans
and democrats are tumbling over
each other in their eagerness to get on
the populist platform.

platform as yet. That would be too
much OF change. They want just en-

Cheer up, bretnern. We are march
ing to victory. We may be a small
band as yet, but the old parties are
numbering behind US, hindered by the
plutocrats in their ranks, blinded by
partisan prejudices that make them
unwilling to risk the next step, but
still receiving occasional flashes of
light that lead them on in our rear.
Soon they will have gone so far that
the people will see the necessity of
taking q decisive step, and one or the
other of the old parties will have to
take it, or else the voters will join US
bodily. 1t is absolutely useless for
any party to try to stem the tide ofco-
operative enterprise. The one
that will simply undertake to direct
the current towards national enter
prise will finally triumph.
