Kinley to request Evans resignation. This
was promptly denied by the president and
Evans. Notwithstanding the fact that no
really wished to leave the office, declared
that he would not do so as long as the q.

that the special commission appointed at

aCOUNTING CHICKENS"
ST. PAUL GLOBES MERGER STORY
Said to Come From Wall Street and
Predict Early Legal Victory
for Merger Interests.

Wall street spectators have again de-
cided the merger suit brought by the gov
ernment against the Northern Securities
company in favor of the big corporation,
and for reasons of its own the st. PAU
Globe, the personal organ of James ).
Hill, gives the Wall street view publicity
in this mornings issue. This. last story
is in line with several others which have
been sent out by the New York stock
jobbers since the government began SUIT
1t says that a favorable decision In the
action against the merger is likely to pe
handed down any day and that suffering
reverse the government will withdraw
it's suit and thus end the whole affair.
It is added that this would be especially
pleasing to the patriotic, speculative ira
ternity in Wall street, as it would bull
the price Of many stocks by opening up
possibilities for other mergers. the
Globe prints this story as a Especial from
New York-inside information given to
the organ Of Mr. Hill only.
There is no foundation for this story.
The merger suit has not had q hearing.
1t will come up at the next term Of the
circuit court, which opens June 26, and
at that time date will be set for argu-
ment. A decision will not be reached fol
month at least. 1t will be seen that
the" victory for corporate interests
which the Globes New York special says
will sopn be announced is still some
distance ahead, and the merger crowds
much advertised. sure thing dissolyes inte
exasperating doubt.

"A number of employees in the Rosen-
blatt factory were forced to Jump from
the windows Half dozen girls were
taken to a hospital seriously injured.
The fire is still spreading. The police
report that eight bodies are in the ruins.
Over twenty persons are injured as a
result of jumping from the windows and
by falling walls.
20 Fire Escapes Were Inadequate.
AS nearly as can be learned, the fire
started in the celludoid department OF
the leather works. Within ten minutes
the entire plant was ablaze. The fire es-
capes proved inadequate to afford exit to
the employees working within. There were
200 girls at work when the fire was dis
covered and inm mediately stampede was
made for the fire escapes. Many were
knocked down and trampled upon and
others, on reaching the fire escape,
despite the shouts of the people in the
streets, plunged to the pavement. The
girls remaining on the fire escape were
carried in safety to the street by the
firemen. - e.. F..
Eight girls are missing and 1t is be-

Brother Fred" This man would gladly
tell all he knows-and it is great deal
if he is assured immunity from punish

ever, is much averse to granting i'm
munity to any one, but particularly to
this captain in question, as he is current
ly reported to have handled more money
than any one on the police force, except
one man, too we'll known to be named in

duty to present strong case against the
mayor and no immunity will be offered to
any one where it is possible to secure a
conviction without holding out any such
inducements. ...
There is some question as to whether
Gardner will be called before the jury
again. The boy is thinking deeply and
may be willing to make a complete state

tration, but he has not yet been called by,

he volunteered to appear.

A report from the grand jury is due
this afternoon and so Judge Simpson
postponed his departure to Minnetonka.
He consulted with Hovey G. Clarke, fore
man Of the grand Jury, at noon as to
the state of affairs. How many indict-

say, and it is likewise impossible to say
with absolute certainty that there will
be any indictments bearing the name Of

that the road was unobstructed.>
Mayor Fitzgerald who returned here
last night from his wedding journey, called
on the governor to discuss the situation,
and to have the militia withdrawn. The
mayor considers the presence of the SOL
diers as contributing to the disturbances.
He says he will guarantee protection to
the cars. When asked if he would put Of
ficers on the cars, the mayor said he
would not. II
'"The officers on their beats, together
with the specials, can protect the cars"
he said.
The first car from Providence proceeded
through this city at 10:30. 1t was with
out the usual deputation of guards. While
there was no very serious demonstration
five arrests were made by the soldiers
who lined the streets. Some stones were
thrown and the driver and conductor
were hissed, but these. outbursts were
quelled by the soldiers before they as
sumed serious proportions.
