Paris, July 2o.-Many persons in
hundreds arrested are inc nvu ie-
suits of the street disturbances Sum
day in which both clerical and
anti-clerical demonstrations brought
about the closing Of unauthorized re-
lirious schools, were made. There
were great crowds on the boulevards
throughout the evening in expeeta-
ton of further rioting. A large pro-
cession of students shouting and
singing was dispersed by the police
and attempted red flag demonstra-
tions at the Strasburg statue also
were broken up.

Washington, July 29.-The life Of
DR.. Russell Wilson, of Ohio, who was
captured with a reyolutionist party
in Nicaragua, has been saved through
the representations of Minister
Corea, of that country. A cablegram
was received at the state department
to-day from Chester Donaldson,
United States consul at Mangua,
Nicaragua. dated the 26th, as follows;
''As a courtesy to the United States
and sympathy for the mother, the
president viii commute Russell Will
sons death sentence"
Wilson was one of several Ameri-
cans who joined a filibnstering ex-
pedition which landed at Monkey
Point. near Bluefelds, early in July.
Most Of the party were captured or
killed. Wilson would have been sum
marily executed but for the inter-
position of Senior Corea, the Nicara-
guam minister here. Having secured
stay of proceedings and a guaran-
tee af a legal trial, the minister has
now induced President Zelaya to
commute the death sentence imposed
upon Wilson by court-martial. Be-
fore the receipt of this message it
was not known that the court-mar-
tial had been held. 1t is presumed
that the Communication is for inn
prisonment for time, and then ex-
pulsion from Nicaragua.
Senator Hanna, who has been most
active in DR.. Wilson's case, was much
gratified when shown the Associated
press dispatch from Washington an
nouncing that the president of
Nicaragua would commute the SEN
tence of the prisoner.

A CHAIN OF CARS
One-Minute Service or Better Over
the Como Interurban Line
for Fair Week.
Many Cars Will Keep Up Veritable
Street Car Procession-Strike
Talk Groundless. .,~--

A belt of big interurban cars, with
highs speed motors, air breaks, large seat
ing capacity, straps for those who can
not find seats, and space to be squeezed
In, will keep UP an almost continuous
round of the mo-Interurban street car
line all Of next Week-Fair Week. The
cars will run almost as closely together
as the sections of a movable sidewalk,
except for a few of the 'wee sma'
hours. The officials Of the Twin City
Rapid Transit company say that the serv-
Ice will be lone minute or better In
this way it Is hoped to take care Of the
great crowds that are expected from all
over the northwest for the great show.
Good speed will be possible in view Of
the fact that there are few stops for a
long stretch-scarcely any between Como
avenue Sc and the fair grounds on the
Minnea polls end and between the fair
grounds and University avenue on the
st. Paul end.
There will be no difficulty, the COM
pany thinks, in supplying enough cars.
Many new ones have been made in the
past year and all will be in service.
At the fair grounds will be men who
will direct the movements of the cars
and the crowds so as to facilitate load
ing and unloading and make the delays
at the gates brief as possible.
An effort will be made also to take care
of the big crowds that will use the Uni
Versity avenue interurban the number of
regulars" being swelled immensely by
the visitors who will go and come between
the two cities on other business than
that which relates to the fair.
Strike Talk GroundIess.
Street railway officials are positive there
is nothing in the stories of a St. Paul
paper to the effect that the employees will
strike Monday. That day is very near
and as far as known no one is making
any complaints against the company and
reason for a strike does not exist.

THEY SERVE THEMSELVES
The Walters in Several St. Paul
Restaurants Strike and Patrons
Turn Servers. .. .:

Luncheon at the Neuman's restaurant in
st. Paul this noon was served "a Ia catch
as-catch- can" Each patron brought
himself his own cold consome, forgot his
own forks, and served his own ice cream
with destructive promptness. For the
walters went on their strike at Neuman's s
few minutes before 12 o'clock. They
were white male walters belonging to the
union. They had been receiving $50 a
month. They asked for SO a week and
were refused.
The strike is confined to the white male
walters because the colored boys" are
not organized. Many Of the girls walters
in st. Paul are members of the union.
They say they will help the strikers. :
The strike. however, was not extern
sive. Although at Neunan's the guests
were compelled to serve their own food.
most of the other hotels and restaurants
suffered no Inconvenience. Many of the
st. Paul restaurants and several hotels
employ girls In the dining-room. At
other cafes and hotels the waters are

Charge a CONSPIRACY of Silence.

Resolutions were adopted by the Ninth
Ward Prohibition club of st. Paul scor-
Ing the ministers for what Is termed "a
conspiracy Of silence" on the saloon ques-
ton. The document reads as follows:
Whereas, The preachers Of this city
with very few exceptions, seldom speak
on the saloon question. And
whereas, The saloon, to use the Ian
guage of some Of the members Of the
clergy, and probably concurred in by
most all, is an unmitigated evil, and
cannot be licensed without sin And
Whereas, Ifs but small percentage
of what they admit Of the saloon is true
their silence is absolutely indefensible
Therefore,
Resolved, That the only reasonable
explanation Of their almost universal
and unbroken silence on so important a
question, is that they are indifferent to
the claims of humanity; or are afraid
that their interests or regulations will
suffer. ~
Resolved, That their conduct has all
the appearance of a conspiracy Of silence
on the saloon question"

Mr.. Fletcher Says He WEI Support tie

An interesting feature of the meeting
held in Century hall last night was Con-
gresham Fletcher's announcement that
II. defeated for the nomination, he would
"cheerfully support either Mr. Hay or Mr.,
Peterson" AS both the other candidates
have declared their intention to support
the'ful ticket, this removes the possibil-
ity of a bolt.
The meeting was held under the ans
pices of the Idennepin County Colored Re-
publican club, and all three candidates for
congress were invited. Mr.. Fletcher ap-
peared and spoke for himself. The other
Two We're at other meetings, and each
sent personal representative. w. H.
Grfmshaw appeared for James A. Peter
son, whose nomination he predicted He
dWelt on John Linds strength as a vote
getter and said that Mr.. Peterson, be-
cause OF his Scandinavian descent, would
be the strongest man against the ex-goy
ernor.
II. V. Mercer, who followed for Mr.. Hay,
said he took no stock in this argument,
and regretted that the nationality CUES
ton had been introduced into the cam
paign. He urged Mr.. Hays qualifications
for the office, and declared that he would
have no serious difficulty in beating John
Lind.
Mr.. Fletcher also said he would like
nothing better than to run against John
Lind. To the colored men he recounted
his work for their race while in congress,
and denied the story that he had opposed
the sending Of the Twenty fourth infan-
try, colored regiment to; Fort Smelling.
1t was a candidates meeting, and aside
from the little debate on (which one can
beat John Lind" there were addresses by
Ray w. Jones, the mayoralty candidates
and others. -

A new AUDITORIUM.
The Committee Favors an Entirely
New Structure on the West Side
to Cost $325,O00.
Plans Submitted Providing for an
Office Building With Musicians
Studios and Auditorium.

Plans for remodelfngSr the. exposition
building into new auditorium and music
| hall did not meet with favor at the meet
ing of Commercial club committees late
yesterday afternoon. 4. The majority Of
those present favored a new building,
to be erected on the west side of the
river and near the business district. A
site in the center of the city has already
been selected and plans have been drawn
for an auditorium and music hall in con-
nection with an office building, arranged
for the studios of musicians. The COM
mittee will confer with musicians Of the
city before making final decision.
TO remodel the exposition building, the
estimates say, will require an outlay of
100000. A new building like the one
proposed, with the land, will cost about
1926, 900.
Plans for the building prepared by Ber-
trand & Chamberlain provide for a struc-
ture six stories high, an office building
with a big auditorium in connection. The
present plans include music hall,
with a seating capacity of 700. 1t Is
proposed to remodel these plans so as to
give the music hall a seating capacity of
1900 The ground dimensions of the en-
tire structure, auditorium included are
15OX274, the latter dimension facing the
street with 16 foot alleys on the other
sides. The office building Is 5Ox15O.
ne mann entrance leaOS into a 1Oyer
2Sx150 feet long running across the build
ing with exit at both ends. There are
also retiring rooms for men and women
with toilet attached. The entrance to the
auditorium is on the ground floor. The
stage at the side opposite the entrance
Is 81 feet deep by 126 feet wide. The
proscenium arch is Sc feet wide.
From the foyer on the first floor the
main stairway leads to the foyer on the
second floor, whose dimensions are the
same the first floor foyer while the
rooms opening off 1t are on the same
plan. The first gallery of the auditorium
is on this floor. Back of the stage and
over the alley on this floor are committee
rooms with toilet in connection.
On the third floor is the second gallery
to the auditorium, the music hall, and one
or two small studios. The floors above
the third are devoted to studios for musi-
clans. 1t is proposed if possible to rent
all of the office space of the building to
musicians.
The seating capacity of the main floor
Of the auditorium is 5000 and Of the two
galleries 2,400 each, making a total Of
about 5000. There are seven exits from
the main floor

TWAS JUST A JOKE
Z w AS USI "A JUAE
John MlckeIson, Arrested on Charge OF
Attempting to Commit Suicide,
Is Released.

John Nicholson was in police court this
morning, but was dismissed, as there was
no case against him. He was taken into
custody last night because it was be-
iieved that he was going to commit sui
eide. He laughed the matter off and said
that it was all a joke.
Last night a messenger came into the
central police station with note written
to young woman in a resort on Second
street S. The note bore the informa-
ton that a young man, residing at 256
Thirteenth avenue S, was going to COM
nit suicide. Sergeant Ginsberg and De-
tective German went to the room at once
and found the man asleep with a bottle
Of carbolic acid in his hand.
The man. was aroused and taken to
the central police station, where he was
charged with trying to commit suicide.
He explained that he and the girl had
auarreled and that he was trying to
frighten her. AS he had not really at
tempted suicide, there was no case
against him and he was discharged.

plication Of w. C. Mccormack of 3037

mack accordingly came into court this
morning. AZ. - ,,&t-
The court, after mature deliberation
ruled that election day should be counted

WILL FIGHT EXAMINER
Y. S. lnstaIIment Realty Co. Bucks up
Against the state Officials d: -
~ In Wisconsin.

The United States Installment Realty
association will fight the deputy state
bank examiner Of wisconsin A. e. Koult,
in the Milwaukee municipal court. The
deputy made complaint which resulted in
the arrest this week Of Harry c.. Welcome
representa- tive Of this association whose
home office Is in Minneapolis. c. c.
Evans, treasurer said to-day that the
companys attorneys wire they can defeat
the examiner. Welcome was arrested
without warning on the ground that the
company although it had a state license,
was violating the laws pertaining to for
eign corporations. 80. -
The technical point was that the COM
pany, as a building and loan association
had failed to deposit the required 500, 900
or its equivalent before it could do busi-
ness In shat state 81,
r. C. Hamilton, the secretary, went i'm
Fmediately to Milwaukee and secured We'll
comes release on bail. The belief that
the prosecution will fall to the ground
is based on the fact that the Minneapolis
company does not resemble a building and
loan association.
