GEN. WILLIAM A. KOBBE
BACK FROM FT. RILEY
Says the Military Maneuvers Furnished
Valuable Practical Training for
the Soldiers.

Brig. Gen. William A. Kobbe and
Capt. Thomas w. Darragh yesterday
morning returned to st. Paul from Fort
Riley, where they have been attend
Ing the military maneuvers. Gen. Kob-
be says they were highly interesting to
the participants and proved a source of
much valuable practical training to the
soldiers as well as to the officers. The
emulation between the contending par
ties was very great, the battles COM
bining the excitement and trials of ac-
tual warfare, though lacking in the
fatal consequences.
All the tactics of the manual were
executed, and there were some clever
maneuvers. The officers showed that
they were ready to cope with the most
difficult situations, and in some in
stances displayed remarkable ingenu-
ity. Only in a few cases were there
bitches. The men, those belonging to
the state militia and those Of the reg
ular army, carried out the orders Of
their superiors faithfully.

GRAND MASTER OF THE
SWITCHMEN TO ARRIVE
Wage Scale VIII Have to Be Raised
Members of the Union
Declare.


F. T. Hawley3 grand master of the
National Union of SWitchmen, will ar
rive in the city this morning to confer
with the st. Paul members of the as
ISOLATION regarding an increase in
wages. .=i
The local union is contemplating
asking the railroad companies for an
advance Of cents an hour. Several
days ago the managers of the roads
entering st. Paul voluntarily offered an
increase of ~ cents an hour.
The switchmen claim that the in
crease will not satisfy them. They say
that there has been no increase in
switchmens wages since 1886 and that
during the last sixteen years the work
has grown much. more difficult, while
wages have remained at the same fig
ure. The present schedule is from 25
to 20 cents an hour. The switchmen
ask for scale of from 80 to "a cents.
A conference between the employees
and the managers Of the Northern Pa
cific will be held Monday afternoon at
which it is expected the company will
give It's final answer. 1t is thought
that the other roads will abide by the
decision of the Northern Pacific.

TO BUILD BIG CONDUIT
WILL BE CONSTRUCTED UNDER
WEST SEVENTH STREET
1t VIII Accommodate the Wires of the
Telephone and Other Electric Com
panies-Work of TunneIing to Begin
at Seven Corners Within a Few
Weeks. at s4,.s I'm .y +s

st. Paul now has system Of sand
rock sewers and conduits that Is an
engineering wonder, but their size and
length will pale into insignificance
when an immense conduit or tunnel
projected for West Seventh street is
commenced this winter.
1t will be the joint property of the
several telephone and electric corpor-
ations and will extend under Seventh
street west from Seven corners to Tus-
carora. Beginning at that point the
soft sandstone Of which the foundation
of the street is composed will be tap
ped and the boring continued until
locality is reached. At present the
paving extends to that street.
The majority Of the underground
conduits which the several public cor
porations now maintain In the sand
rock district are large enough for
man to stand upright in, and have sup
ports for dozens Of big wire cables,
but the one to be constructed on West
Seventh street will be much larger. 1t
will have lateral connections at every
cross street, and these will care for
the thousands Of overhead wires that
now line the thoroughfare.
When the paving Of West Seventh
street was first provided for an order
was contemplated sending every over-
head wire underground, but the owners
demurred, and at their request the
matter was left open until winter, when
a conduit big enough to care for them
all was promised. To do the work
will require months of constant boring
and an expenditure Of many thousands
of dollars. The soft sandstone gives
way readily before the onslaught of
pick, but the work of removing the de-
bris is troublesome and will cause the
delay.
Former City Engineer Claussen was
a strong advocate of the city owning
all underground conduits and renting
the same to any public service corpor-
alton that desired to use them. West
Seventh street offers much in this re-
spect and some Of the aldermen ia
vor a scheme that would enable the
city to control it's underground privi-
leges.

LANGAN'S MONEY LEADS
TO FAMILY DISRUPTION
Troubles of Cripple and His Relatives
to Be Aired In
Court.

Judge Hine in the police court will
today act as umpire for the adjustment
Of the Langan family row, the jar of
which shook the earth in the vicinity Of
Como and Phalen avenues Thursday
evening. Each side will appear before
the judge by virtue Of a warrant sworn
out by the other. All the neighbors will
take part in the trial.
The war in the Langan home is the re-
suit of too much good luck. Joseph Ian
gan recently won a suit against a rail-
way company. In his crippled condition
his wife deemed him an unfit person to
manage so large sum as the 1000 that
the company was compelled to, pay, and
she therefore applied to the probate court
for appointment as his guardian. Jo-
seph's brother Richard opposed the petit
ton, and the court denied it. Richard
was therefore persona non grata to Mrs.
Joseph. Nevertheless he kept up his in
tercourse with his brother, and on Thurs
day evening assisted him in his return to
his home.
From this point the stories diverge
Mrs. Langan says that Richard, soon
after coming to the house, slapped her
seventeen-year-old daughter, one Of her
a man named Hurias.> On this state
ment REINFORCED by the legal support
of her counsel, Ex-Adj. Gen. Lambert,
she induced County Attorney Kane to
order a warrant for her mother in laws
arrest.
Richard told another tale to City Pros
ecutor Keller. He declares that as soon
as he arrived at the house he was at
tackled by all four of Mrs: Langan's
grown-up children, who bear the name Of
Hurias. They knocked him down, and
while some of them sat upon him the
others helped their mother to do him
up.
When he appeared in the city prose-
cutor's Office yesterday morning, he ap-
peared to have been very well done up
in6
one of his eyes was completely closed,
some of his teeth were missing, and his
nose seemed sadly out of joint. Mr.. KEEL
man that he at once authorized a warrant
for the apprehension of the belligerent
Langans without respect to age or sex.

SOCIETY POSSESSES
ECONOMIC FOUNDATIONS
DR.. w. A. Scott Predicts Bright Fu-
ture Because of Industrial
Possibilities.

DR.. w. A. Scott, professor of sociol-
ogy in the University of Wisconsin,
delivered the second in the series of
lectures known as the Chicago univer-
sity extension course at the Central
Park M. e. church last evening under
the auspices of the Y. M. c. A. His
subject was 'The Economic Founda-
tons Of Society"
DR.. Scott predicted bright future
for society because of the development
of it's industrial possibilities. He did
not consider that calling the present "a
commercial age" in any way disposed
of its greater possibilities for good or
accomplished anything in the settle
ment of it's problems. Everything in
social life has it's economic basis, he
said, and the better defined, the more
clearly recognized the greater the pos
sibilities for development.
The lecture next Friday evening will
be delivered by DR.. Ira w. Howerth, of
the University of Chicago, who will
speak on the Elements Of the Social
IDEAL"

WILL ASK COUNCIL. TO
AMEND BUILDING LAW
Latest Scheme to Prevent Erection of
Apartment Houses on Sum-
nit Avenue.

An amendment to the building code
defining localities in which apartment
houses can be erected is the latest
scheme to protect Summit avenue from
the invasion of such structures. The
amendment will be drafted at once and
submitted to the council bodies at their
next meeting.
This, in addition to mapping out a
plan of action for the mandamus hear
ing, which will be held today, was the
scheme decided upon at a meeting of
Summit avenue property holders held
yesterday afternoon, and it will be car
ried into effect at once.
By attaching the prohibitive feature
to the building code, it would thus be-
come part of the charter, and those
behind the movement believe it would
receive better recognition from the
courts in this form than if embodied in
an ordinary ordinance. At the meeting
Yesterday afternoon the drafting Of
the amendment was placed in the
hands Of q committee consisting of
George Thompson, J. w. Cooper, P. J.
Bowlin and M. H. Foley.
The hearing in the proceedings to
compel the issuance of a permit to G.
F. Arrol for an apartment house to be
located on the avenue will be held in
the district rtstoday, and it is eX-
pected that a large number of interest
ed property owners will be in attend
anCe.

VAN LEAR'S NAME GOES
ON OFFICIAL BALLOT
Socialist Labor Party Scores Victory
Over Socialist Party in SUI
preme Court.

The supreme court yesterday after
noon issued an order directing Secre-
tary Of State Hanson to place on the
official ballot the name of Thomas Van
Lear as the Socialist-Labor party can
didate for governor, and to strike out
the party name "Socialist' after the
name of J. E. Nash. This has the eff
feet of leaving Nash on the ticket with
out a party designation.
The application of the Socialist-La-
Dor party to have the change made was
owing to the secretary of state refus-
ing to accept the nomination papers
offered by G. G. Davidson, the secretary
Of the party.
Last summer the Social Democratic
party held a convention and, after
changing its name to Socialist" party,
filed certificates Of nomination for sew
eral state offices. One Of these was that
Of J. E. Nash for governor.
When the Socialist-Labor party pre-
scented the nomination papers of
Thomas Van Lear for a place on the
official ballot as the candidate Of the
Socialist-Labor party, the secretary Of
state refused to accept it on the ground
that the election law prohibited any
party from using as a party designa-
ton any part Of the name of a pre-
viously existing party. Having first &C
cepted the nOm1naI1On papers ol INC
Socialist party, the secretary refused
those of the Socialist-Labor party.
When the arguments were made in
the supreme court yesterday, Assistant
Attorney General Donahower appeared
for Secretary of State Hanson; John
H. Steele and George Leonard appear
ed for the Socialists, who, at the last
election, cut considerable figure as the
Social-Democratic party, and Frank
Griggs and George Metcalf represented
the Socialist-Labor party.
The point made by the Socialist-La-
Dor party was that it had been rec
ognized party since 1895, and had can
didates on the state, congressional and
municipal tickets at each election;
that the Social-Democrats in 1900, ap-
propriated a part of their name, and
this summer had, at a convention,
sought to keep them off the ticket by
adjoining the name Socialist party.

DAY OF ATONEMENT IS
OBSERVED BY CHOSEN
Ceremonies at the Synagogue Are At.
tended by Great Crowds Of
Hebrews.

With sunset last evening began the
celebration Of Yom Kippur, the Hebrew
day of atonement, and until sunset this
evening no true follower of the law Of
Moses will be wanting in observing it.
Ii Is the day when every Jew reviews
the sins Of year and by fasting and
prayer blots out their memory and
makes PREPARATION.
In orthodox circles Yom Kippur is
the most important feast Of the Jewish
religious calendar, a fact atteSted by
the crowds that attended the services
at the several synagogues last evening.
At the synagogue on College avenue
the large auditorium was crowded to it's
doors, while at the Temple, at Tenth
and Minnesota, presided over by Rab-
bi Rypins, the same conditions pre-
vailed.
TO the novice the services attendant
upon the observance of the feast are
revelation and the fervency of the
WorSh1per something for consideration.
Few churches approach it in the elab-
grafton of it's ritual or the length Of
the service. At the temple on college
avenue last night the services began
at $50 o'clock and at o'clock this
morning the little band of Worshipera
were still engaged in their meditations
and the prayers prescribed. When the
services opened the church was crowd
ed with worshipers, who, after hear
ing a sermon from the rabbi, retired,
leaving only the old men Of the congre-
cation. These, attired in cossacks and
with one chosen as a leader, chanted
in Hebrew the book of the prophets.
The services called for frequent
changes of leaders and these were sup
piled from the worshipers present. At
4 o'clock the exhaustion was so great
that nature demanded a cessation and
for two hours the little band slumbered.
From that time on the chant continued
internationally, when at sunset this
evening the close will be announced
and the days fast broken.
At the temple at Tenth and Mime
sofa streets the ritualistic part of the
service was subordinated to a lengthy
sermon delivered by Rabbi Rypins.
