st. PAUL IS VOTING
The Direct Primary System Being

BITTER MAYoRALTY FIGHT
There Is Rig bunch OF City Cam

Prominent.

St. Paul is trying the direct primary
system to-day. There has been ire
mendous interest taken by both parties
in the battle for nominations, and with
the bright weather a large vote is pre-
dcted. The democratic vote will be es-
pecially heavy, owing to the bitter mayor
| atty fight. The common estimate of the
total vote is $4,000, but optimists predict
as many as 1900 out of the normal cleo
! ton day turn out of $4,000 vs.
The offices to be. voted for are mayor,
i controller, treasurer, two judges OF the
municipal court, nine members of the as
! sembly, elected at large, eleven aldermen,
| peace and three constables. There are
i sixty three republicans bidding for these
| offices, and fifty-siX democrats, total OF

TO COAX THEM BACK
National Board of Trade Will Do
Missionary Work.
WESTERN EXCHANGES WITHDREW
They Thought the Board Too Gen.
eral and Loose In It's
Work.

The National Board of Trade is trying
TO get Minneapolis to so back into mem
hership. Some time ago the Minneapolis
Chamber of Commerce withdrew from
membership in the National Board of
Trade, and for the first time in years
failed to send delegate to the annual
convention, which was last held at Wash
ington, D. c.
The Minneapolis chamber never had the
least antasonism towards the National
Board, but, on the contrary, favored it.
1t was impossible, however, for the di-
rectors to see what advantage was to be
gained by retaining a membership. For
years the National Board has covered
every live question of the day at it's an
nual conventions. The efforts were scat
tered over so wide a field that nothing
very material was ever accomplished. The
delegates from the western exchanges in
endeaNorlng to concentrate attention upon
any one leading question, usually found
themselves outvoted, and there were so
many conflicting interests and so many
widely variant questions, that the most
that usually resulted from the annual con-
VentlOnS were some accommodations TO
congress, which congress usually ignored.
At the last convention the National Board
took up, among other things, the pension
question, river and harbor improvements,
reciprocity. the government policy in the
visibility Of adopting the metric system
OF weights and measures and other widely
scattered questions which they attempted
to cover in a three-day session.
Meanwhile President Wash burn had ad-
vised the National Board of the withdraw
al Of the Minneapolis chamber from men,
bership, and Immediately the Chicago
Board of Trade withdrew, followed, in
turn, by the st. Louis, Milwaukee and Du-
luth exchanges. ~ -.
Now the NATIONAL Board has begun to
see that the policy of ignoring the west
ern representation and giving continued
prominence to questions primarily of in
terest to eastern people, has cost them
! the support of the five most prominent
western exchanges The board is out to
| get the, seceders back into the fold, and
committee, consisting of Blanchard Ran
! dali and Frank D. La lame, both of Phil
| adelphia, will soon visit the western cities
and try to reconvert the directors of the
| exchanges.

LOOKING FOR MISSING ONES
Hundreds View Remains of Girl
Killed in ST. Paul.

More than thousand persons viewed
the remains of the girl at the Ramsey
county morgue yesterday and to-day, but
none was able to identify her. Included
in the filej of people that passed in and
out Of the morgue before o'clock yes

parents whose daughters have been miss

tives and friends of girls that are absent
from their homes called, viewed the
mangled corpse and departed without be-
ing able to impart any information ex-
cept that the mangled remains were moi
those of their loved one. No one would
have imagined that there were so many
young women absent from their homes az

have visited the morgue indicates.

of the identity of the girl was found yes.

AN ELOQUENT TALK.
Bourke Cockran's St. Patrick's Day
Address Heard by Thousands.

q ized-Erin's Position Then
and Now.

w. Bourke Cochran addressed an audi
ence of fully 5000 people at the expos1-
ton building last night When the noted
orator appeared he was given an ovation.
The hall was cold, and those seated upon
the stage kept their coats on during the
evening, However, once Mr.. Cochran had
started speaking people in the audience
seemed to forget their discomfort. They
paid him the compliment of close atten-
ton and frequent applause; many of his
periods were cheered to the echo.
No attempt at elaborate decorations
Was made, although intertwined Ameri-
can and Irish flags were hung over the
stage, together with the banners of the
Ancient Order Of Hibernians, which, with
the other Irish societies Of Minneapolis,
was responsible for bringing Mr.. Cochran
to the city. -
When he stepped upon the platform the
celebrated New Yorker was accompanied
by Fathers Cleary and Danehy. 1t was a
few minutes after 8 o'clock before the
trio appeared. They took their seats
quietly and remained seated during the
first part of the program. Mr.. Cochran
was introduced by Father Danehy Of st.
Stephens church, who spoke briefly upIn
St. Patrick and his influence on the Irish
people. "@ r. .s,1-.
Mr.. Cockran's subject was }''St. Patrick,

The festival of ST.. Patrick is the most anci-
ent festival Of a surely national character in
Christendom. 1t was celebrated before Spain
or Austria had joined the rank of nations
before the wandering Gallo tribes had beer
amalgamated into France; before the birth
of the German empire, even before the ;Saxor
had conquered England. 1t was $50 years
old when Mohamed penned the Koran.

sion was marked by the establishment o.
churches, the founding of schools.
Continuing, Mr.. Cochran sketched brief
ly the causes which led up to st. Patrick's
second visit to Ireland. He told of his
capture by wild Irish tribe. of his re-
turn to France and Of his determination
to take the civilizing influence Of Chris
tianity to the Irish barbarians. In thai
work, said Mr.. Cochran, he was wonder

A BELATED CLAIM
Filed in the State Bank Insolvency
Case.

Although it is nine years since the
State bank collapsed, it was not until
yesterday that a formal demand for the
allowance Of the claim Of Henry Schnit-
ker was made. The demand is made by
the special administrator on the affdavits
of Schnitker's father, an aged clergyman
and two sisters Of the deceased. At the
time the bank failed Schnitker, under the
name of Henry Moore, had $4,000 on de-
post. He was then consumptiye, and
the collapse of the bank was severe
Shock to him. He placed the matter in
the hands of an attorney and died short
ly after. His surviving relatives sup
posed that the attorney was looking after
matters and let them drift for several
years, until Mr.. Schnitker, the elder, be-
coming impatient, called on the attorney
Of the receiver. He was informed that
no claim had been filed or allowed Re-
lying on these representations he let the
matter drop until he saw in the papers
that the estate was about to be closed
UP and that substantial dividends had
been paid. Then he took counsel with a
lawyer and it was decided to present the
claim. --

SMOKES FOR STATE WARDS
Plan TO Manufacture Tobacco a
State Prison.

The state board of control has under
advisement a plan for manufacturing to-
hacco for the use of inmates of state in
situations. Every quarter the state buys
two tons of plug chewing tobacco and
half a ton of smoking tobacco. It is
furnished to inmates Of the state prison
insane hospitals and asylums, and the
school for the feeble minded.
The intention is TO manufacture the to-
hacco at Saltwater for the use of all
the institutions. If this can be done
without paying the revenue tax, the board
of control will undertake it. 1t is thought
that the tax would not lie imposed, as nc
tobacco will be sold, but the question is
being investigated

The temperature is rising rapidly from
Lake Michigan westward nearly to the
coast, and from New Mexico and western
Texas northWard to the most northerly
stations, with this mornings tempera-
lures above the freezing point in Wash
ington and western Montana. The cold
weather is moving eastward and the only
parts of the eastern states where the
temperature is above freezing is imme-
diately on the coast. The only zero
weather reported this morning is in the
region north Of Minnesota and the Great
Lakes. Rainy weather continues on the
north Pacific coast, and there have been
light SHOWS during the past twenty-four
hours from northern Michigan to the New
England coast. The high pressure area
now lies over the Mississippi valley and

FROG AND SNAKE
Found in MILK of u Dairy West Of
Minneapolis.

Sam Haugdahl. one of the inspectors
of the state dairy and food department.,
made a startling discovery the other day
in dairy short distance west OF the
twin cities. The milk was kept in a
spring house and not very carefully COW
cred. Gaming some cans, Mr.. Hong
dahl found small snake and frog in
the milk. The, farmers were very much
surprised and promised to take, better
care of their spring house. Mr.. Hougdahl
found several cases where milk was kept
in dirty surroundings or in filthy cans,
and all such were sunmarily dealth with.
For the most part, however, there was
little fault to find with conditions. He
is strongly in favor OF a law requiring
creamery operators to be licensed. There
is nothing now to prevent inexperienced
men from managing such concerns, to the
detriment of the products.

ANSWERED FOR AUDITOR
No Spring Sales of State Lands--No
Wolf Bounties.

The state auditors office requests the
newspapers to answer two questions
which are causing considerable CORE
spondence.
There will be no spring sales Of state
land. Owing to the demand last fall, Mr..
Dunn sold land up to the limit fixed for
the fiscal year, so no more land can be
sold until after Aug. l. This means there
will be no sales until October.
The legislature refused to make an ap-
preparation for wolf bounties and there
is no money to pay them. Farmers who
get wolf scalps must figure that virtue
is its own reward
