Mayor D. p Jones this morning re-
ceived the following communication from
Mayor Woodbury. of Detroit Mich:
& viii you appoint delegation of ten citizens
from Minneapolis to attend the conference called
at Detroit on Thursday morning, Oct. 8, to de-
wise ways and means for obtaining a reasonable
coal supply from the anthracite districts of
Pennsylvania and West Virginia. The mayors Of
all cities in the states affected have been asked
be potent in solving the present difficulty. VIII
You request, also, representation from the press
of your city
Mayor Jones sent this reply:
VIII gladly cooperate with you along the lines
proposed. VIII advise you later as to the steps
taken to secure representation.
'It strikes me-" said Mayor Jones, that
in view of our recent employers and en-.
ployes' convention, which concerned itself
not little with regard to strikes and
labor disturbances generally, Minneapolis
should be particularly interested in the
proposed conference. shall accordingly
undertake to secure the representation
desired In this progressive age, there
should be little difficulty in inducing some
gof our representative citizens, interested
in such matters, to see that Minneapolis
is properly represented at such a notable
gathering as the Detroit conference is
bound to be. The city will be unable to
pay the expenses of any such delegation
at present, but there should be enough
public spirit to provide for the expenses
Of such mission.
y IT would like to see the press Of our city
send special representatives to the city
Of the straits on such an suspicious oc-

THE uToPIANs AT THE DEWEY

The "Utopians' at the Dewey this week
present the usual Offering of burlesque and
vaudeville, although the entertainment
they provide is unusually good. The JOS
selin trio of aerialists is easily the best
thing of the olio. Their act is we'll con-
ceived and is a novelty, at least in Mime
apolis. The La velles contribute a dane
ing speciality in the course Of which
'Svenga1ied do1l' is introduced. Mark and
Kitty Hart have a sketch that serves a
double purpose. It amuses the audience
and, at the same time, advertises a brand
OF whisky. Joe Norris makes a hit with
a number of parodies, sung in the stage
Hebrew style. but Is somewhat too lavish
with his encores. Rose Jeanette, like
the peacock, is pleasing to look upon, but
destroys the Illusion when she attempts
to sing Charles e. Foreman MARBLES a
number Of illustrated songs, among them
Just Plain Folks which has certainly
won its right to retirement under the old
age clause, and Madden and Jess, Irish
comedians, anuse with the customary
"patter.
The two burlesques are excellently
staged and are above the average Of this
class OF entertainment. The music is not,
hackneyed and the Jokes are new. Alto.
gether the TUtopians" are well worth
while.

SAVED A NEAT SUN !
The Efficient Work Done by s. I. In
gram in the 7. M. Roberts
Bankruptcy Case.
Over $4,000 Has Been Saved to
the Creditors Slices From Big
Claims for Fees.

Twenty thousand dollars IS the heat
sum saved to the creditors Of T. M Rob-
erts by objections interposed by repre-
sentative Of several creditors.
Last March S. L. Ingram, now man
ager of the T. M. Roberts Supply COM
pany, through an attorney. succeeded IN
having Referee Merriman reduce the diff
ferent claims for fees to a total OF $l2, 30O.
The Saturday following the last meeting
of the creditors he went into court and
secured single handed and unaided by
legal advice, an elimination at the hands
of Judge Lochren of another large slice
amounting to about $4,000.
The final report of Trustee Frank W..
Shaw was filed with Referee Merriman,
Sept. %. IT contained three items which
Mr.. Ingram considered in need Of prun-
ing. His employers left the matter IN
his hands. Objection being interposed,
inasmuch as the referee himself was con-
cerned, the case was laid before the
court. AS result, three items were dis
allowed: That Of the referee for l per
cent on the amount which the secured
creditors received for merchandise which
they held as security to their claims
against the estate, $1.730.28; that OF the
referee for 81 for each claim filed, S2,oe4 !;
that Of Attorneys George F. Porter and

cent, the second will be 4.99 per cent. The
secured claims against Mt. Roberts were
S293,S55, the unsecured were $479, S1O.l7.
For eastern creditors Messrs. Ingram and
Mann purchased the stock at 66A per
cent Of it's appraised value which was as
large a price as another individual bid
for the whole stock. The $40, 900 saved to
the creditors equals one single large claim.
The action Of the large creditors In

business here instead of selling out is of
benefit to Minneapolis as within a year

HELPING HAMLINE "U" :
Methodist Pastors Give Literally.
From None Too Liberal Incomes.

President G.. II. Bridgman Of FIannline
university has just returned from the
Minnesota Methodist conference at
Rochester yesterday greatly encouraged
by the attitude Of the conference mem
bers toward the institution for which he
is laboring. DR.. Bridgnan went to
Rochester to speak 4 in emphasis Of the
Christian college as an important center
from which many lines Of Christian work
radiate. The work which Hamline "U'
was doing was presented In straight
forward way and the progress toward the
desired endowment Of s250.0O0 was out
lined. The presidents talk was. in u no
wise begging" address, but his plain
statement Of fact moved the conference
to action. In a short time the assemblage,
composed largely Of men whose annual
income is slender, had subscribed $4,000,
and the conference had given Hamlline
university the most substantial and elo-
quent Endorsement, in its power.
This Minnesota conference contr1bu-
ton leaves but $4,000 of the desired
S25o,ooo fund still to sbe pledged. Last
year 500, 900 had been subscribed and coll
lected OF the remaining 100000, some
5000 had been subscribed; contingent
upon the whole amount being raised. The
Rochester subscription knocks a good big
corner off the 100000 task which con-
fronted DR.. Bridgman before his Roches-
ter visit, ~ II s'-.- =.

MORE WORDS OF APPROVAL
For Plan of Commander Torrance
for Confederate Soldiers Home.

General Ell Torrance, commanders
chief of the grand army Of the republic,
Is receiving letters daily from southern
representatives Of the Grand Army Of the
Republic congratulating him on his stand
in the interests of home for Confederate
veterans at Mountain Creek, Ala. - :. !
Among the letters received from de-
partment commanders Of southern posts
are those from Charles W.~Keating, New
Orleans, and John H. Avery of Hot
Springs, Ark. Commander Keeting says
this 'last philanthropic and Christian act"
Of General Torrance will result in the
greatest amount Of good to the old ex-
union soldiers who now reside in the
south and are neighbors and associates
of the brave men who wore the gray. The
suggestion that the grand army veterans
of the country contribute to the fund for
the erection OF confederate veterans
home is said to have met with hearty ap-
prevail in the south.
"Such a noble, Christian act, coming
from our representatives Of the grand
army of the republic" writes Commander
Avery, twill brilliantly crown your career
as commander in chief. Thirty years in
the south enables me to say that, without
doubt, your request will meet with hearty
response, and will be received by our
brothers who wore the gray with sincere
appreciation and gratitude"

LECTURE ON LIQUID AIR
Professor William B. Patty VIII Show Ex
perIments at Hennepin Avenue

atgs M. e. Church To- morrow. 49,
: Professor William %. Patty Of Chicago
will give lecture on Liquid Air and
Some, OF It's Marvellous Qualities" at the
Hennepin Avenue M. e. church to IN orrow
evening. -
The properties Of liquid air are truly
called marvellous and to those who have
not seen the substance experimental with
a lecture of the sort proposed will, be an
experience that should not be missed. Pour
a quantity Of liquid air upon a piece of
dee and the liquid Immediately arises in
"a vapor as steam does when water is
poured on a hot stove. The reason is sim
pie. When the liquid air comes In contact
with the Ice it comes in contact with a
substance 344 degrees warmer than itself
and Immediately evaporates Liquid air
In a. kettle set upon a cake of Ice boils
violently for the same reason. In open
cans OF jars liquid air is harmless, but If
It Is confined owing to its rapid expansion
1t will smash the stoutest receptacle.
I The supply Of air to be used in the ex-
periments tomorrow evening will be
brought from Chicago in double bulbs of
glass, a vacuum surrounding all but the
neck Of the inner bulb. which cannot be
corked or closed. The vacuum serves to
tnsulate the heat of the outer air and the
liquid air is thus kept.
