CAN'T GET WHEAT
Two Mills Were Obliged to Shut
Down To-day.

The Washburn Crosby company closed
two flour mills to-day and the Consoli-
dated Milling company will probably close
some part of it's capacity either tonight
or Saturday night. This is due to the
difficulty experienced by the millers in Sc
curing enough good wheat to keep In
operation at full capacity. The situation
Is only temporary. There is so little
good, old, dry milling wheat coming in
just at present that the premium is very
high, and even at 10c over September 1t
is hard to get any quantity of it. This
makes business in flour for prompt deliv-
cry rather light.
There is a good business, however. in
flour for delivery in September AMI Oct
ober. AS soon as new wheat begins COM
ing in freely these mills will be ready to
grind heavily

Department Commander Perry Stark

In the order mentioned above the de-

ICE PLEAS FOR ITS FRIENDS
Col. Ames, Norbeck and Gardner
Appear in Court.
SAY MOT GUILTY. TO NEW CHARGE
The Former Chief Again Asks for
Continuance Over the
Term.

Frederick w. Ames, former superin-
tendent of police, appeared, in court this
morning and entered pleas of not guilty
to the last two indictments returned
against him and which accuse him Of en-
tering into a conspiracy to collet tribut e
money from "big mitt' men and women of
the town. In both. cases Victor ]. WEIGH,
Ames' attorney presented motion for
continuance over the term, the hearing
on which was set for next Thursday
morning before Judge Pond.
MT. WEIGH explained that it would be
impossible for him to secure the, attend
ance OF either Mayor Ames or Joseph
Cohen, both Of them important witnesses
TOT the defense. If the cases were to be
tried this term. Assistant County Attor-
ney Leary. however, asked that no con-
tinuance be granted, at least until, after
his chief had been given an opportunity
to be heard on the proposition. He added
that ne thought Mr.. Boardman would
agree to have heatrials set over the term
put asked that no definite action be taken
untH tho county attorney returned to
the city. In the second Ames indictment
IN which: conspiracy charge is urged
against the mayor, the former chief Of
c. Norbecl: jointly, similar plea was
entered, Mr.. WEIGH giving notice that he
should demand bill of particulars. -.
. Joseph Cohen is made codefendant with
the former chief; in the first indictment,
and Mr.. WEIGH gave notice that separate
trials would be demanded In both cases.
A plea of former: acquittal was also in
terposed to the Indictment charging con-
spiracy with the mayor and others, and
will be argued when the case comes up
for trial. -. = t:..'z.r': :
Gardner and Norbeck Plead.
Irwin A. Gardner and Christopher G.
Norbeck were also In court, and both
pleaded not guilty. Both will demand
separate trials and will plead former con-
viction for the same offense. Their in
dictment is thought to be aimed particu-
1arly at Fred Ames, and it is quite posi-
Bile that neither Of them will ever be
brought to trial under it. Norbeck, OF
course, will be one of the states star
witnesses, and as Gardner is already I'M
der heavy sentence for his part in the
municipal graft scandal he will probably
not be prosecuted further, -,

GREAT GUESSING CONTEST, TOO
Journal Building, to Be Centrally
Located, a Center for Busy -
People.

This year T h e ] ourna has made
special preparations for the entertainment
of it's friends at the state fair grounds.
The Journal building on the grounds
Is the finest and most centrally located of
any Of the newspaper buildings on the
grounds and is the only Minneapolis news

used for an exhibit for the. paper it will
this year be open for the use Of the pa
per's friends. Its wide porches, and spa
cious rooms will be convenient for those
who seek rest from sightseeing and at
PENDANTS will be on hand to answer ques-
lions by those seeking information. IN
terest in The Journal building will be
increased by guessing contest described
below.
An especially interesting feature of the
rooms will be files Of the daily and weekly
papers of the state to which reference
may be made by all corners.
A Twin City telephone will be placed in
the building and its use will be free to any
point on the grounds and for urgent mes
sages outside. T h e J o u a will also
send free urgent Geographic messages for
its friends registering at the building.
A postofice will be another convenience.
Persons visiting the fair may, therefore,
have their mail addressed to the fair
grounds in care of The Journal building
and can obtain mail so addressed at the
building, which Is so situated as 10 De
very convenient for the purpose.
A register by towns will be kept in the
building, and all who visit the building
will be requested to sign, under the Sec
tion devoted to their home town, thus
enabling visitors to learn who are at the
fair from home" ..:...
A bulletin board giving the latest i'm
portant news, baseball board giving the
scores of the games of the American asso-
citation, lost and found department
where articles found may be left and ar
ticles lost may be bulletined will be
among the conveniences also.
One of the most interesting things will
be an exhibition of original drawings by
Bart The Journals, cartoonist,
and by Wing. - r
Cards of invitation will be distributed
which will entitle the holders to visit
The Journals plant in Minneapolis
and to inspect It's new 100000 press-room
equipment, consisting of three four-deck
Goss presses, each of which has capa-
city Of as, 900 Journals an hour.
To add to the interest of those regist-
ering guessing contest will be conducted
in which gold watch and chain valued at
$500 will be given to the one making the
best guess as to the total paid attendance
at the fair: In case of tie guesses the
| one registering the best guess first will
get the watch AS registers for st. Paul
| and Minneapolis people will not be kept
twin city folk will not be able to particf-
| pate in the contest.

A TICKLI]SH PEOPLE
Lieut.. Col: Williams Tells About the
Primitive Moros. ~.'
THEY HAVE NOT BEEN BOTHERED
But the Time Is Coming When Their
Institutions VIII Have to
BE Revised.~

Lieutenant Colonel Charles A. Williams
formerly major in the Seventeenth in
fantry, but recent ypromoted to the
Twenty eighth infantry, now stationed in
the Jolo archipelago, is the guest of his
brother, l.. D. Williams, 1901 Fifth street
Sc: He is now on his way: from Van
couver to Washington, and will leave in
a few weeks to join. his command in the
Philippines.
Colonel Williams served twenty-five
years in the Twenty-frst regiment and
was with that command in Cuba. In June,
1900, he was promoted and attached to
the Seventeenth infantry in the Philip
pines and remained with them until last
February. During the last six months
he was in the orient, Colonel Williams
had command Of a detachment Of the regi-
| ment stationed in the Jolo archipelago,
| to which place he will return with his
| new regiment. He is we'll posted on the
situation in that part Of the Philippines.
! up to the present time there has been
! little or no trouble with the .Moros, u
| said he to-day, but the time Is coming
| when there is apt to be some difficulty un :
| less the government is fortunate enough
to handle the people exactly right. While
the war was in progress in the other parts
: Of the islands, We did not try to interfere
i with these people, feeling satisfied to al
4 low them to follow their own ways We
II
/ and the Moros were we'll pleased with the
Americans: But there will soon have tc
be some changes made. .
| eat present the Moros are governing
! themselves so far as their own people arr
| concerned and no Interference is Offered
by the Americans. They practice SLAYER!
and have some queer ideas as to Justice
These things will have to be abolished ant
the people will have to be d1sarmed
| whether they will take kindly to thes'
ideas or not remains to be SEEM. 1T il
! doubtful if the government can induc
/ them to free their slaves, lay down thei
arms and use American ideas Of Justic,
without trouble. .-..
But trouble, or no trouble, it is some
thing that must be done. Those peopl
cannot be allowed to- carry arms when al
the other tribes Of the islands are. dis
armed. Neither can they be allowed keeI
slaves or to practice their crude ideas O
justice. A great change must be brough
about before the matter is thoroughly set
tied in the archipelago"
