COAL MEN DON'T CARE
ABOUT SENATOR BARKER's BILL
They Think Wood Inspection Would
BE Good Thing for Their
Business.

While Senator Barker's bill for the state
inspection and grading of fire wood in
cities having more than so, 900 Inhabitants
is intended primarily for the protection of
the consumers, local fuel men say the fuel
companies will certainly get most of the
benefits. Car inspection of wood, they
say, will be fine thing from their stand
point. w. H. Rendell, manager of the
Northwestern Fuel company says:
Such law would have two results II
would give the companies the benefit of grad
ing when purchasing their supplies from the
country and it would hasten the day when we
get out Of the wood business by increasing the
cost of wood to the consumer. Wood as it
comes into the city now is supposed to be
first grade But as matter of fact, 1t isn't,
and we put to both trouble and expense
to grade it in the yards before delivery; and
then there Is the inevitable row with the
shipper over the deductions from price. A
system of state inspection would help us out
greatly. The inspection fee, of course, would
come out Of the consumer.
The fuel companies in Minneapolis make no
money out Of wood and we hope some day
soon to drop that part of our business The
only object in selling wood now is. to hold
some of our coal customers in line. Goa! is
displacing wood very fart. There isn't a
quarter of the wood sold here that there was q
few years ago. Soft coal and gas are dis
placing it and the movement is going to con-
tinue. With the growing remoteness of the
source Of hard wood supply and the added
freight rates it is getting impossible for wood
to compete with coal. The farmers must look
to the smaller cities of the west for their
!! future wood market.

WASHINGTON PIERCE DEAD
A Pioneer Citizen and a Veteran of

Minneapolis, q veteran Of the civil war, and
for twenty years an officer of the municipal
court detail Of police, died at $40 pm Wednes-
terday at his home, los Seventeenth street n.

arms OF the state house Of representatives
In 1884 he was appointed an officer in the

The announcement of Mr. Pierce's death
occasioned great sorrow, especially at the
courthouse, where he was so long and so
favorably known. Judge Andrew Holt and
Judge Dickinson were both on the bench. The
announcement was made by Assistant City
Attorney Waite. who spoke at some length

PAINTERS WONT DROP IT
THEY INSPECT JAIL PAINTING
They Want the County Commission
ers to Understand the Situ- z
alton Thoroughly.

A. G. cambridge, representing the
painters union, called at the county jail
this morning and watched one of the
prisoners applying the finishing touches
to the new coat of paint. Mr.. cambridge
was we'll pleased with the job from an
artistic standpoint.
The workmanship appears to be all
right, he said, "and I am surprised to
learn that the artisan is not member
of the union. If he had identified him
self with organized labor he probably
wouldn't be here now. The union GER
ta1nly objects to having this work done
by prisoners. 1t is practically the same
thing as convict labor. Organized labor
cannot afford to overlook the principle
of this thing. The paint is on now, and
we can't undo the mischief. The union
will probably pass resolutions next Tues
day evening, criticizing the officials. If
the county had no money for this work
now. 1t would probably have been in a
position to pay for it later
The building trades council last even
the county commissioners for an expla-
nation. ss. n 81.
e. =. Sweet, chairman of the board, says
there Is no explanation coming, ~ -
IT'S up to Captain Alexander, the
jailer,' he explained. "He told us that
the work had TO be done. and said tlrat
if we would furnish the material, he
would get the labor. 1t was personal
matter with him. The walls certainly
needed repainting."
Captain Alexander insists that he sim
in penitentiaries, hospitals and reforma-
tories, where all such work is done by
prisoners. The painting had to be done,
for sanitary reasons.

LEFT HIS LICENSE UP COUNTRY
the Phone Saved the
Day.

Albert l.. Anderson and a blushing
young woman, whom he fondly called
Stella, came to Minneapolis Wednesday to
be married. Shortly before the knot was
to be tied, Anderson discovered that he
had forgotten his marriage license, taken
out the day before in Brown county.
The groom imagined that he could cas-
lily purchase another of clerk for this
county. He was getting on swimmingly,
and Stella smiled approvingly on, until
Deputy Clerk sweitzer happened to ask
his address. When he answered Brown
county," the clerk said he couldn't issue
the license.
What'll do?" gasped Anderson. I'll
be the laughing stock of the town If /
have to go back home for my marriage
license"
Train from Brown county this even
ing?' asked Sweitzer, feeling a sudden in
terest in the case, after an appealing look
from the bride. ~:
Yes, therell be one headed this way
within an hour"
Tell you what you do the clerk con-
tinued; "just call up your town over the
long distance phone and ask some friend
to send your license on that train. Tell
him to put a special delivery stamp or
the envelope, and you'll be ready for bust.

thanks, and Stella wanted to kiss him
Then both rushed away for telephone
Later In the evening SWeitzer received

Anderson were on their honeymoon.
Thus do train and phone annihilate tim,
and space and bring loving hearts to-
gether.

A man giving his name as Professor l..
Gibbons, and residence at 1925 Washing

and gray The parents of the girl called
at the station early yesterday and heard
the claim of Mr.. Gibbons.
The latter said the ceremony was per-

girl until they ascertain whether the cere-
mony was legal. If it was, they will per-
NIT the child wife to go with her husband,
but if not they promise trouble. Mr..

ENGRAYERS WALK OUT
The Rest, the Strikers Say, Stood
for a Conference at
Future Date.

The trouble between the photo7engrav-
ers' union and their employers took def
mite form yesterday when all Of the
union employees of four of the five shops
in Minneapolis quit work. The Bureau of
Engraving signed the scale and its men
are all at work. The strikers admit that
their employers were willing to go into
conference to adjust difficulties, but say
they have been unable, Ito get them to
name an early day for. the conference.
The employers, they say, want to hold
the conference off for two weeks. About
twenty engravers and apprentices are out.

recognition Of the union.

MCLAUGHLIN IS AT WORK
Prospects for the Cession OF Lands
of Red Lake Reserve Deemed
(S0nd

Special to The Journal
Red Lake Agency, Mimi, March THE
first council between Major James Nc
Laughlin of the Indian service and the
Red Lake Chippewas is taking place TO-
day. Chiefs and braves from all over the
reservation are here to listen to his prop
osition for the purchase of the west end
Of the Red Lake reservation.
It is hard to determine the sentiment
of the Indians, but there appears to be no
very strong opposition to the proposition.
The major has the confidence of the In
dams as man who will see their rights
are fully protected and one whose promises
are always fulfilled by the government,
and this will go far toward simplifying
matters.
The anticipated interference upon the
part of self-appointed Indian attorneys
will have to be met, but at this time the
outlook seems bright for a successful ter
mination of the negotiations.

KILLED AS HE 'PHONED
DULUTH MAN STOOD ON METAL
Theory That Line Crossed Other
Electric Wires and He Was
Shocked to Death

Duluth, Mimi, March flames ].
McKusick was killed last night by shock
OF electricity while talking through /,
telephone.
Mckusick was at his home and stood
upon steam register in order to use
more conveniently the telephone. While
engaged in conversation he suddenly
turned up his hands, his body seemed to
stiffen and he fell dead at his w1fes feet.
1t is supposed that the telephone wire
crossed other electric wires and that
McKusick, standing on metal, formed
circuit: He was 70 years old.
