The employer and employe convention
program is gradually assuming form un-

tary of the literature committee. ~.
The paper by Jane Addams of Hull
House, Chicago, on Social Waste of
Child Labor has been definitely set for

commissioner of the Illinois Coal
Operators association has accepted an as
signment for the morning of Sept 23
Frederick w. Job, chairman of board Of
arbitration of the state OF Illinois, will
speak the same morning.
1t is believed that the speakers an
nounced will draw audiences of such "a
size that it will be necessary to hold all
sessions in the Exposition building. There
is no question on this point as regards
the evening meetings Delegations from
Minneapolis and st. Paul" alone will fill
the body of the hall and large part of
the gallery space. The morning and aft
ernoon addresses are of such strong
character it Is thought that large pro-
portion Of the citizens interested in mat
ters affecting labor and capital and in
social questions will wish to attend the
daytime sessions.
Acceptances are being received daily
by Secretary G. l.. Rockwell from labor
organizations which have been asked to
send representatives. The central
Trades Council Of Sidney. Ohio, will have
some one on the ground. M. J. Berry,
secretary of the union, sends an en-
couraging letter and states that local in

WHAT WILL NELSON Do ]?
ONE OF CAMPAIGNS PROBLEMS
Populist on the Ticket Whom the
Democrats Would Like to
Have Withdraw.

Constructions placed upon the new pri-
mary election law by the attorney gen.
erals office have led to several amusing
complications, not the least of which Is
the part played in the local campaign by
Captain A. H. Nelson, candidate for the
.populist congressional nomination.
To begin with the democrats say the
jpopulists have no right to a place on the
ticket, as permitted by one ruling, for the
reason that they made no independent
nomination here two years ago and con-
sequently could not have polled the 10
per cent vote required by law. They say
that the ruling was dictat ed by political
expediency merely, and designed to beat
John Lind in his race for congress-. In
support of this they point to the fact that
Nelson is the only popu!ist who has yet
filed for any office, that he is running
for congress, and that his name might
lead to the belief that he is of Scandi-
navian birth. .- ~.
However, this is only the beginning.
Recently the attorney generals office
ruled that candidate had a right to
withdraw his name from the primary bal
lot after he had once filed. Then, local
Republican workers announced that undue
influence was being brought to bear to In
duce Captain Nelson to withdraw; and
there the matter rests at present.
1t is conceded that Nelson's candidacy
would be inimical to the interests of Johr
Lind. Whether he will remain upon the
ticket or not is a question.

DIED AMONG PLAYMATES
Had Fallen From n Beer WAGON on
Which He Was Taking
q Ride.

John O'Halloran, Idged years, the son
Of Thomas O'Halloran, met death to-
day in the midst of play and surround
ed by his playmates who saw him die.
A beer wagon passed a group of chill
dren, who were playing in the middle
of Kent street. between Sherburne and
University avenues, st. Paul. The O'Hallo-
ran child ran out from the crowd, caught
an iron bar on the rear of the wagon and
swung his feet onto the axle under
meath. ai
He lost his grip with his hands and
fell to the street, striking on the back
Of his head. The children laughed and
they saw a smile on his face as he got
up and came toward them, busting his
hands on his trousers. Suddenly he
fell in a little heap in the road. The
girls and boys ran toward him, and he
started to get up again as they reached
him, but he sank back, his eyes closed
and his head hung over to one side in a
peculiar way. DR.. O'Connor was sum-
moned but he boy was dead when he ar
rived. Death was caused by fracture
Of the skull and by Injury to the spinal
cord. Thomas O'Halloran; the boy 3
father, is employed at the" st. Paul

NUMBER 7

Morning papers, as rule, sell only
from one-third to a half as many pa
pers as their evening competitors, and
invariably at twice the cost, and de-
ducting a possible one-third of this
total that is brought down town to
be read en- route, it cuts the possibil-
tiles of returns from an advertising
standpoint down to very small per-
centage, when compared with the fact
that every single copy of an evening
paper reaches the home and family.
In the city of Detroit there are over
10000 local papers sold every even
ing, while the total number of week
day morning papers sold does not ex-
ceed $4,000 daily.-Extract from article

HE STANDS UP TO IT
Mayor Tones' View of Powers Talk
About 1o-Hour Shift.
TWAS ONLY COURSE POSSIBLE
So Says the Acting Mayor Who Be-
lieves He Has Public
Approval.

Regarding Alderman Powers criticism
of Acting Mayor Jones' action in rein
stating 10-hour police shifts, the latter
said this afternoon:
81 have no defense whatever to make
for my action because it requires none.
AS citizen and as taxpayer interested
in the proper disbursement of city funds,
1 am persuaded that I took the right
course. I am surprised that Alderman
Powers should have attempted to make
capital out of my action in placing the
police department On the only working
basis, under the circumst ances, that will
permit the proper police protection of the
city.
He says he did his utmost to dissuade
me from such action, and that unfortu-
nately he was unsuccessful. The only
time he ever spoke to me about the
change was when he said that he did not
believe it would be advisable.
'It is my conviction that the working
people of Minneapolis-those of them who
are familiar with the conditions which
dictated such action-approve of what 1
have done. 1 am willing to leave 1t to
them to say whether 1 did the right
thing.
'I am sorry for Alderman Powers that
he should have taken such a position.
He may not think SO, but I actually be-
lieve it will hurt him politically"

FOR ASSN OF The DEAF
Journal NewsbOys' Band to Play for
Excellent Cnuse-A Weeks
Concerts. .. r.

"A change has been made in the plans for
the benefit concert to be given for the
Minnesota Association Of the Deaf by the
Journal Newsboys' band. Under the pres
ent arrangement the Saturday evening
concert by the little red musicians at
the Lake Harriet pavilion will be a bene-
tit performance, the entire proceeds going
to the association. It is not necessary to
Introduce the Journal Newsboys' band to
the entertainment loving public The boy
musicians have won their way to very
cozy nook in the heart of the public and
their friends are numbered by the thou
sand. The engagement of the band for a
weeks series of concerts beginning to-
morrow evening is of itself strong testi-
m0nial to the boys ability and popular
ity. The Saturday evening program will
be of special interest from the fact that
the beneficiary Is an association which is
striving to improve the conditions sur
rounding one class of unfortunates.
The Minnesota Association of the Deaf
was organized few years ago by the
graduates from the state school for the
deaf at Faribault. Its main object is to
promote the interests of the deaf mutes
of the country. 1t is-especially interested
in questions of education and religion.
Especial attention has been paid to the
matter of legislation. For many years the
deaf mutes have complained that the laws
governing their Institutions have been
made by men who have not understood
the needs of their people and as a result
the best things have not always been
done. Since the organization of the as
scciation a few years ago this has been
overcome to a great extent, and the power
of the deaf mute is felt even in the legis-
lative halls of the state.
The benefit fund of the association is
designed to aid worthy, aged and infrm
people of the state and ultimately tc
build a home for them. The officers o1
the fund are J. L. Smith, Faribault, chair
man; L. IS. Hodgeman, Red Wing, treas
urer; J. B. A. Benoit, Benson; ALBERT Elk.

er, to Leave.
The announcement, that the Apollo
club is to lose its able director, Charles
A. Graninger, whom the club brought
here last year from Cincinnati. and the
city a strong musical leader, is one that
will cause much regret, as Mr.. Graninger
has occupied an assured and enviable, po-
sition during his short residence in the
city Mr.. Graninger will return to Gin
cinnati This is not in any way re-.
Election upon the opportunities of Mime
apolis, but such great advantages have
been offered to him in Cincinnati that
it seems to his interest to return. On
coming to Minneapolis Mr.. Graninger did
not close his Cincinnati school. but left
1t In charge of his WIFE In addition to
the development Of this important inter-
est he has had several fine offers for
church work.
The loss to the Apollo club is severe
one, but the club is already In negotiation

A CRIMINAL ICE MAN
Caught washing Ice at a Horse
Fountain.

Complaint has frequently been made to
the water department that drivers Of ice
wagons were washing ice with water from
horse fountains, which are scattered
about the city. Supervisor Mcconnell de-
tailed inspectors to keep a lookout and
this morning Inspector Harrison detected
an iceman in the very act. He was
promptly reported to the health depart
nent which will take the matter up with
his employers.
Mr.. Mcconnell is grieved because he
cant prosecute the fellow. but the law
does not give him that authority. The
practice will be broken up by the health
department. When it is known that
glanders and Influenza may be communi-
Gated through the horse fountains the
washing of ice at these places is a mat
ter upon which the health authorities can
act vigorously.

THE LEGAL PAPER SUIT

-. Reinforced. -

The application of W. w. Woodbeck and

Of mandamus compelling the county audi
tor to file a certain affidavit presented by
them, came up for hearing this morning
before Judge Pond, Mortimer Boutelle ap-
pearing for the applicants and Assistant
County Attorney G. L. Smith for Auditor
Scott. Both attorneys agreed that the
affidavit was, regular In form, and that
it was the business of the auditor to file
it, but explained that the proceeding had
been begun to secure a ruling as to what
constitutes legal newspaper in this
state.
The matter was submitted, but it is
quite likely that the court will refuse to
pass upon it in its present form. A
simple granting Of the application for a
writ Of mandamus would not settle the
question. Authorities agree that the law
on the subject is vague. An interpreta-
tion Of its meaning would affect several
hundred papers throughout the state.

JUDGE POND INDIGNANT
An Affidavit of Prejudice Is Filed

Against Him.
Judge Pond became very indignant this
morning when A. G. Middlestadt presented
an affidavit of prejudice against him in
the case of Dominick Rosbach as executor
of the estate Of the late Anna M. Poseng,
against Theodore Beaver. The affidavit
was general in form, and was signed by
Mr.. Beaver, who swore that he believed
he could not get a fair trial. if the case
was to be tried before Judge Pond.
Judge Pond at once explained that he
had no previous knowledge of the action
whatever, and hinted that the matter
might be laid before, the grand jury. He
peremptorily denied the application for a
change Of venue. 80
The case involves the ownership of GER

belongs to the estate Of Mrs. Poseng, but
to which the defendant claims title
through Mr.. Poseng, who is also dead. .
