He MURDERED A CHILD
Beck, the Brutal Blacksmith, Sen
fenced for Life by Menom-
inee Judge.
Spscial to The Journal.

Special to The Journal.
Menominee, Mich, Nov. Nov. 19.-
Joseph Beck, the confessed murderer of
Julia Woznick, a 10-year- old girl, was SEN
fenced for murder in the first degree this
morning by Judge Stone Of the circuit
court to solitary confinement and hard
labor at Branch state prison at Marquette
Beck pleaded guilty and the whole case
took only twenty minutes
Sheriff Stiles left last evening for Iron
Mountain to get the prisoner, and returned
this morning at $3.50. Very few knew of
the sheriffs departure for Beck, so very
few people were on the station platform
to meet them. The greatest secrecy was
maintained to keep his coming from the
public, to avoid any chance Of violence.
The: sheriff took the prisoner off the OPP
pos1te side of the train from the station
and hurried him to Jail, followed only by
three men who came down on the train.
He was taken Immediately to the court
room and pleaded guilty, showing no emo
ton. The evidence OF Chief of Police
English, who found the girls body buried
under the steps back Of Beck's shop, and
OF Drs. Grignon and Hicks, who held the
post mortem examination, was taken.
In delivering sentence Judge Stone said:
1T Is almost impossible. to contemplate
how a man Of your intellect could perpe-
trate g. crime-nay, a double crime-so
horrible and each of which should be
punished with the greatest severity Of the
law"
Beck had nothing to say as to why he
should not be sentenced. In an interview
he said he realized what he had done and
thought he must have been crazy when
he did it.

A MAN NOT A MISSION
Quest of Many Girls Who Had Ex-
pected to Teach.

The diminished attendance at the state
normal schools this year was explained
yesterday at an adjourned meeting of
the normal board by President. C. H.
Cooper of the Mankato school,. He said
that young men have to be- shy in more
senses than one to keep them from pro-
posing marriage; the present good times
had removed much of this shyness, and
the girls that had expected to teach school
were now choosing men instead of mis-
sions.
A reduction in the normal course Of
study from five years to four was recon-
mended by President Shoemaker of the
st. Cloud schools. He said that If a. four
years course would yield an elementary
diploma, the rural schools would be better
provided with teachers. :
Resolutions were adopted favoring the
pan OF A. T. Ankeny for the: removal Of
the normal schools from the Jurisdiction
OF the state board of control to that of a
state board Of education and recommend
ing that the unused balance of normal
school funds be credited this wear tn, tho
account Of the year following. -"

NO TURKEY RAFFLES
This Historic Thanksgiving Institu-
ton Is Taboo in Local Saloons
This Year.
Butchers Protest That Their Sales
Will Be Curtailed if Rafies
Are Allowed.

Certain sportiyely. inclined gentlemen
who have INDUCED in the pleasant anti
cipation of securing their Thanksgiving
dinner on the turn Of a wheel, are doomed
to disappointment. The edict went forth
from police headquarters to-day that no
turkey raffles will be, allowed in the sa-
looms on Thanksgiving eve.
This action was the result of a confer
ence yesterday between a delegation Of
leading representative Of the Retail Meat
Dealers association and Acting Mayor
D. P. Jones. The grievance committee
Informed the mayor that the practice OF
holding raff1es in saloons on the day
when the great American bird is most in
demand was a<greatr injury TO the meat
dealers business. In former years, after
investing heavily in turkeys to meet the
demand which might ordinarily be ex-
pected, the meat dealers had suffered
heavy loss by being forced to divide the
business with the men who ordinarily
make speciality of strong drinks.
The mayor agreed that the saloon men
were not fairly entitled to the privilege
of thus cutting into the legitimate profits
of the meat dealers, and that they should
be enjoined from specializing In the tur-
key crop in the manner contemplated.
Saloonkeepers will receive no formal
notice not to hold raffes, but patrolmen
will. be instructed to see that no turkeys
are disposed of in that way.
There are various ways Of rafting for
turkeys. In some saloons the spectators
are allowed to draw numbers for a
chance. In others a. turn of the wheel or
shaking dice determines the result.
'Ip any event. said the mayor,
"gamblind devices are employed. AS such
they are amenable to the law and should
be prohibited. I feel perfectly justified
in taking this step. 1t would be just as
fair to allow some other line of business
to engage in the saloon business for a
day as to permit the liquor dealers to
make an inroad into the meat dealers
trade for Thanksgiving Day."
DIR. Ames prohibited turkey rafting in
the saloons last year and there are other
prdcedents for Mayor Jones' action.
1t Is estimated that the saloonkeepers
have already arranged to purchase nearly
| a thousand turkeys from farmers for
rafting purposes. The mayors order will
not be limited to turkeys. Poultry
raffles Of any description will be under the
ban. .asr 49,

OBJECTS TO COSTS
Camille Weidenfeld Doesn't Want to
Pay for His Case and P.
Powers, Too. =.
He Files Formal Objections to Stand.
ing 1884 Costs Now Assessed
- Against Him.

Camille Weidenfeld, intervenor in the
anti-merger case Of Peter Power against
the Northern Pacific, filed objections to
paying all of the $9,354.23 costs assessed
against him: The bill of costs was filed
in Minneapolis to-day, together with the
final decree Of the United States district
court. This decree, signed by Judge
Lochren, practically repeats the decision
of Judge Amidon, before whom the case
was tried here last September. The issu-
ance of the Northern Pacific preferred
stock is declared to have been valid. The
participation of the Northern Securities
company, which was not heard, is pro-
nOunced necessary to an adjudication of
the other points and both Power and
Weidenfeld are held to be in no position
to demand a decision as to the legality of
the merger.
The bill of costs is interesting. In any
other than a federal court it would be
called ,extravagant. Mr.. Weidenfeld in
sists that 1t really Is excessive. Several
little items, aggregati ting s3,S67.66, for
printing testimony, should not be charged,
against his client, he says, according to
the rules of the court: and if properly
charged, these items should certainly not
require Weidenfeld to pay So a page for
testimony that is usually printed at the
rate Of 80 cents a page.
The tride of $3.50 charged as travelling
expenses to New York. incurred by
Special Examiner r. A. Mabey is de-
scribed as wholly unauthorized. Objec-
ton is taken to matter of $3.50, desired
to reimburse one Peter Daley for his
travelling expenses and witness fees, mas
much as Mr.. Daily is legally entitled to
$40. An item of some hundreds of do
lars paid for the testimony of fourteen
witnesses is. -repudiated for the reason
that these witnesses testified to every
thing else except the points at issue.

Milwaukee, Wis. Nov 19.-Football- re-
lations with Minnesota, after an uninter-
rupted course of thirteen years are likely
to be broken off by the anasement of
Wisconsin university. The reason given
is the alleged unsportsmanlike conduct Of
the Minnesota team In the game last
Saturday. Wisconsin men who saw the
game at Northrop field last Saturday
chara cterize it as the most despicable ex-
hibition ever seen on a gridiron They de-
clare that towards the end of the game
one of the Minnesota men landed on Driv-
er's neck with his knee after the ball was
down, the referees whistle had blown and
the men We're beginning to get up from
the ground. At another time. and after
the whistle had been blown, it is alleged
that one Of the gophers deliberately kicke
Moffatt on the nose as he lay under the
entire squad. Attempts were repeatedly
madeI they say, to put out Show and
Lerum and it was only their ability to
stand punishment that enabled them to
stay in the game.
Wisconsin also objects to playing on un-
sodded ground and it is stated that the
contract which was entered into with
Manager Luby provided for a sodded field.
The badgers say they will devote all their
strength and time to the big games with
Michigan and Chicago next year and will
scratch Minnesota off the list.
