AUsPIcIoUs OPENING OF THE IR.
RIGATIoN CONGRESS AT COL.
49, oRADo SPRINGS !.
DANIEL w. LAWLER, OF
ST. PAUL, SPEAKS ELoQUENTLY
He Says There Are No Party Lines in
This Work and That Minnesotans
Are With the Irrisationists Heart
and SouI-President Walsh Gives a
Forcble Address.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Col, Oct G..
The tenth National Irrigation con-
gress opened this afternoon under cir
cumstances especially auspicious.
Great significance is lent to the con-
gress this year through the fact that
the irrigation movement has been TAX
en- out of the sphere of merely prop
aganda and given a national import
ance, through the action of the last
congress in passing bill authorizing
the proceeds from the sale of state
lands to be used for irrigation pur-
poses in the several states.
The indications are that the con-
gress will be the most largely attended
in it's history. President Roosevelt
sent the following letter, which was
read
accept my hearty good wishes.
Nothing has been done in which I
have taken greater interest during my
administration than the inauguration

somebody else. I then took 1t upon
myself to tell some of the habitues of
the smoking room what ] knew about
certain passenger, but they only
laughed at me.
But a day or two later a wild-eyed
person hurried up to me, turned his
pockets inside out, and excitedly said
that there was something wrong with
that poker game-one man getting all
the money-holding four queens most
every hand; couldn't detect anything
out of the way, but he knew there was.
Wouldn't I come in and take a seat
near a certain player and keep espion-
age on him, particularly his sleeves?
thought it over, and concluding that 1t
was none Of my business to play de-
tective, refused to do anything of the
sort.
Triumph of the West.
'But it appears there was another
person on board who took an active In
terest in the matter. Who he is I do
not know, except that he is a West
erner and that no winged insects perch
on him when he is engaged in playing
poker.
HE was brought in the game, and
very soon came bulletins that things
were happening in the smoking room.
The next I heard was a big row, occa-
stoned by my card sharp friend want
ing to give a check for $500 that he
had lost 1t seems that he had run
against four kings with only his fa-
vorite four queens, and had been di-
vested of not only his big winnings,
but all the rest of the money he had
with him How they settled it I don't
know.
''This know, that this sharp, wear
ing that chastened look which comes
from meeting Westerners at poker,
came to me this morning and asked my
opinion as to whether the number Of
the pilot boat would be odd or even.
I guessed that it would be even, where's
upon he wanted to bet me that it would
be odd-probably wanting to retrieve
some Of his losses on an even chance
bet But I refused to bet, and lucky
for him didn't, as he would have lost
again, providing he had anything left
to lose"

members of the rival organization. This
forced the shop to close and 600 en-
ployes were thrown out of work.
Later in the day all the other firms
were notified that they would have to
meet the same situation tomorrow un-
less the special order men left their
places or joined the Garment Workers
union.
A special order union meeting was
held this afternoon at which the women
belonging to the organization agreed
to join the fight. Tonight two more
meetings were held, and at each SINH
lar pledges were given, over 5000 men,
women and girls agreeing to enter the
contest
The Saint Paul globe., 1902-10-07

The first gun in the battle royal be-
tween the Minneapolis Chamber of
Commerce and the bucket shops in the
city was fired when the order forbid
ding the Western Union Telegraph
company to furnish the bucket shops
with continuous quotations direct from
the pit was carried into execution yes
terday morning.
The conditions which have rendered
such step necessary have been con-
stantly growing worse for the last two
years until today the bucket shops
have materially reduced the legitimate
business carried on in the Chamber OF
Commerce. The fact that bucket shops
charge sixteenth commission for
handling. orders instead of one-eighth
per cent charge of the board OF trade
naturally attracts those who merely
wish to gamble upon the turn of the
market.
When the board of trade began bus
mess yesterday morning the big quo
tation clock, which silently registers
the rise and fall Of wheat from its
conspicuous position above the quota
ton board was yelled behind a news
paper. Quotations from Chicago, Kan
sas City, st. Louis and New York were,
as usual, posted upon the board, but
not a quotation from the local pit was
registered.
Gives Much Trouble.
AS a matter of fact the men on the
floor suffered more inconvenience than
did the bucket shops at which the
blow was aimed. The cash men, who
always keep their weather eye on the
option to govern cash sales, were much
annoyed and were obliged to keep
sending messengers to the bowling
mob in the pit to ascertain how wheat
was doing. The bucket shop, on the
other hand, continued to do a fairly
steady, if somewhat jerky, business.
1t is impossible to determine just
now where the leak is, but this much
is Stain, that the commission bro
ker ot their quotations without any
material interference with their buSl-
ness. With some twenty telephones on
the floor of the chamber it is not diff1-
cult for them to get word as to the
doubtedly the way in which they got
their information. One Of the leading
members Of the chamber said yester-
day:
May Tear Out Telephones.
''This is only the beginning. If we
cannot head this business off one way
we shall most certainly have to do 1t
another. The next move will be to
take out every telephone which is now
on the floor. With the Western Union
held in check, the quotation clock
screened and the floor telephones re-
moved 1 think the bucket-shoppers
will have to get a move on to find out
what we are doing. If that doesn't
fix them we will take further steps to
see that they do not get our quota
tons We are in this fight to stay,
and if we cannot win out on the first
move we will stay with the game un-
til we cam"

RATS AND EGGS FELL
THREE HUNDRED FEET
Glasses Unbroken, Rats Unhurt, Water
UnspiIIed, Only Three Eqqs Cracked


PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Oct. 6.-Two
rats were the only passengers on rec
ord-breaking elevator drop Of 800 feet
in city hall tower. The animals were
none the worse for their rapid trip.
Their survival, with the unbroken con-
dition of eggs and frail tumblers that
were in the car at the time bore evil
dence to the effectiveness Of the air
cushions applied to the elevator just
constructed in the tower.
The trial was made in the presence
of a score of spectators, who occupied
a platform at the top of the air cushion,
eighty-five feet above the bottom of
the shaft. The safety cushion is an
enclosed portion of the lower section of
the shaft.
When the rope was cut the car shot
by the spectators on the platform at
the rate of two miles minute. Clouds
of dust were thrown out, but there was
no jar as the car struck the air well
with a booming noise and was gradu-
ally brought to a stop at the bottom.
1t occupied about seven seconds in
falling. The rats were safe and sound,
but scared. The water was not spilled
and only three eggs were cracked.
