A GREAT ILLUMINATION
A FEATURE OF ELKS' CARNIVAL
Louis XIV. Expected to Act as King
. of the Carnival-Other
Attractions.

One of the most attractive features of
fair to be given by the Minneapolis lodge
of Elks, June 214, will be the illumina
ton. Arrangements were completed, at
the meeting of the general committee
Friday, for the most elaborate lighting
scheme ever seen at an exhibition in the
northwest, the equal Of which has never
been witnessed outside of the great eX
positions. The great feature of the
illumination will be the magnificent main
arch at Sixth street and Hennepin, which
will in blazing characters bid the public
welcome. This arch, which will be easily
the grandest undertaking of the kind ever
attempted in Minneapolis, has been de-
signed by Fred Keys, the architect. 1t
will show the way into the radiant court
Of honor into which Sixth street will be
transformed. This court will include
other arches and light masts and statuary
of imposing design, typical of the prog
ress Of Minneapolis and the northwest.
The light to be used will in itself con-
stitute a novelty. Arrangements have
been completed with w. A. Levings of the
Minneapolis Gaslight company, whose
headquarters are in the Masonic Temple,
adjoining the grand triumphal arch on
Sixth street, to furnish gas illumination
through Welsbach burners system OF
lighting now in use in most of the Euro
pean cities and particularly on the famous
Champ Elysees in gay Paris. These
Welsbach burners, when used on large
scale, throw a powerful, steady light
which is said fairly to eclipse the power
of electricity. The street railway is
said to be planning a novel street car
illumination.
Adown the court Of honor the way will
lead to the "big show" Before reaching
Jabour's colossal aggregation of worlds
wonders, however, the sightseers will pass
through the double line Of booths of the
industrial fair. These booths and the ex-
hibitions and demonstrations of manu-
featuring and mercantile enterprise
which will thus be afforded will prove
such drawing cards that large percent
age of those who pass the portals will
want to Ginger longer" in. this depart
ment.
Space for these booths, the dimensions
Of which will be in multiples of eight, can
now be had upon application to E. Kay
ser, chairman of the public ground and
building committee, S04 Nicollet avenue.
Communications already received from
points in this state as we'll as north
and South Dakota and Wisconsin, 1ndl-
cate plainly that the people of the north
west will come to the carnival In large
numbers.

Weather Conditions.

The weather continues very dry in the
west and southwest. During the past
twenty-four hours there have been rains
in the Lake Michigan and Lake Superior
regions and in the Ohio valley, Tennessee
and Alabama and on the Pacific coast,
but the amounts were small. Clear wealth
er was almost general this morning. 1t is
warmer than it was yesterday morning in
the east and SOUTH British Possessions,
eastern Montana, western North Dakota
and Wyoming, and cooler on the north
Pacific coast, in the upper Mississippi val
ley, in the vicinity Of Lake Michigan and
Superior and in South Dakota. The pres
sure is somewhat below normal in the
middle Ohio valley and Lake Huron re-
gion and north of Montana, and slightly
above normal in Minnesota and Iowa.

FLATS ON The HILL
The Hennepin Franklin Bryant
Triangle to Be Improved.
BUILDING WILL COST 100000
Thorpe Brothers Close the Deal and
Work Will Begin at
Once.

Thorpe Brothers have negotiated deal
by which: the Lowry Hill district is to
have one of the finest fat buildings in
the city It will cost 100000 and is to
be built on the triangular corner at Hen
nepin,. Franklin and Bryant avenues. The
building will be the property of John L..
Stene and Erick Lund, both well -known
contra ctors.
The building will be erected by day work
under the direction of the owners. A. L.
Dorr in the Lumber Exchange, is the
architect
For location the site can scarcely be
surpassed in the city. 1t is high and, dry,
commanding fine view Of the surround
1ngs. Across the street is St. Paul's
church; within block are the Lowry Hill
Congregational and the Fowler Methodist
churches The Douglas school is only few
rods distant.
One of the best features secured by
| location at this point is the insurance OF
light. The front line on Franklin is 18C
feet without obstruction. The side lines
both resting on avenues are open to un-
obstructed light and the rear line of the
building will be 23O feet.
The conformation of the site will result
In an odd shaped building, but it will
rather add to than detract from it's arehi-
tectural appearance. The plan provides
for g four-story building under one roof
Within will be forty-six complete apart
ments ranging from three to eight room
suites. The exterior will be of light
colored pressed brick with terra Gotta
trimmings.
The building will open on court fac
ing FRANKLIN. Either end of the build
ing will rest on Franklin, but the entrance
will be made by walks through the grass
! court to the two inner angles of the build
| Ing and to central door The build.
ing will be ready for occupancy October 1
For the site Thorpe Brothers sold tc

The owner was F. ]. Dieubonne of Wash.

ably result in the abandonment of the fa1

SHOWN BY POLICEPAY ROLLS
The Multiplying Of Sinecures Compels Citi-
zens to Hire Private Watchmen or
Go Without Protection

Going into the study of the pay rolls
more in detail brings out some interest
ing facts along the above line. In the
first or central precinct there are to-day
thirty eight patrolmen. In December,
$780, the number was fifty The East
Side precinct detail numbers twenty,
against twenty seven in 1900. At the
South Side station there go out each day
seventeen patrolmen, as compared with
thirty-two in the former year. The fig
ures for the North Side precinct are four
teen and twenty-five respectively, and
up in the eighth ward precinct, ten and
fourteen. There are now twenty-one
mounted men doing patrol duty in the
outlying wards. They all take the long
journey to the city hall each day to report
to Captain Coffin, good two hours job
on the average or one-fourth of their
working time. In 1900 there were sixteen
mounted men. They were attached to the
eighth ward, North Side and East Side
precincts and reported to their respective
stations, thus saving the time and energy
now spent In making the daily pilgrimage
to the city hall mecca.
Going still further into the details of
the story of the pay rolls, it appears that
in December, 1900, there were nineteen
men in the department holding the rank
and the end probably not yet reached as
there still remain fayorites to be reward
ed for heroic services either in the past OF
to come There were five lieutenants in
1900. Last month there were thirteen
and this months pay roll will include one
more.
There are to-day twenty-seven SER
geants, against twenty in 1900 In each
case the above figures include the detec-
tive staff. In 1900 these numbered four
teen all told, including the license, pawn
broker, sidewalk and bicycle inspectors
The number to-day is more than twice
that-thirty in the aggregate, without
counting the two redoubtable captains at
large Coffee John" Fitchette and Captain
Krumweide, who are supposed to be en-
ployed in work of the same character The
inspectors mostly live a sunny, joyous life
of ease, putting in their eight hours the
same as the patrolmen. While residence

The Minneapolis journal. [volume] (Minneapolis, Minn.) 1888-1939, 1902-04-19

Those interested in searching for some
present police department can find at
least a partial explanation in brief study
Of the pay rolls Of this and any one of the
previous administrations of recent years.
The story told Of the pay rolls does not
in any way bring in politics nor latter day
prejudice; it deals with the cold facts.
1t r..lows that on the basis of number OF
pItrolmen actually on duty and hours of
service the Minneapolis police department
of to-day has As per cent less efficiency
than the department under any of the
previous administrations since 1890.
The facts of the pay rolls alone point to
the inevitable conclusion that there is no.
| toriously bad management at the head of
the police department, and they explain
clearly enough, too, why it is that in
order to get anything approaching
adequate protection at night various COM
munities of the city, like Kenwood, Sun
nyside, Lowry Hill, ETC., have to hire
special watchmen for patrol duty and pay
their wages from their own pockets.
Here is the story the pay rolls tell,
| those Of last month and December, 1900
| the closing month of the Gray adminstra-
ton, being used for the sake of convent
ence to make the comparisons:
The police department now contains 225
men, the full quota allowed by law,
against 220 men in December, 1900, and
an average of about 212 for the half a
dozen years Immediately preceding that
year. The present number of patrolmen
is l20, including q mounted men, and the
number Of men of all higher ranks,
sergeants or better, is 70. The pay rolls
of December, 1900 show ISL men on
actual patrol duty, and but a men of
higher rank. In other words, with five
less men in the department., there were
then Al more patrolmen on duty than
now and Is fewer men enjoying the pay
and privileges Of superior rank. More
| than that these men worked ten hours a
| day, as against eight hours at the pres
ent time, making another difference of 20
per cent in efficiency in favor of the de-
partment Of 1900. This means that rs
per cent fewer men are now available for
actual patrol duty than under the Gray
administration, and those men work 20
| per cent less time.
