Saratoga, N. Y, Oct. Bird S. Co
Ter was nominated for governor by the
democrats yesterday in most stormy
convention which was dominated by
ex-Gov. Hill. An exceedingly dramatic
scene followed the refusal of the con-
yention to seat, either of the delega-
lions headed by William S. Devery and
Frank Goodwin of the ninth New
York district, because of wholesale
corruption" Devery attempted to
speak from the platform, but was
Kissed down. A tremendous uproar
followed, but finally order was re-
stored and Devery and MS friends left
the hall.
One of the most dramatic incidents
of the convention was the refusal to
hear opposition to Coler. When COler
was nominated Nathan Strauss OF New
York offered objections. He mounted
the platform and had hardly begun
when he was Kissed and finally ruled
out of order. He started to leave the
platform, putting the notes from which
ne was reading in lis pocket, and
when he had reached the steps he was
surrounded by a number of newspa
Der men who desired copies OF his re-
marks. He was attempting to deter
nine who to give them to, when a
lumber of Tammany delegates sur
ounded him and pressing him against
he wall took the notes from him and
ore them up. He had, however, pre-
ierVed a copy in his pocket and this
,e managed finally, after recovering
lis hat and glasses, to hand to the
.eWspaper men. The Strauss incident
nded the objections to the ticket and
he rest of it was nominated without
ny question or any objection what
yer. The PLATFORM is looked upon
~ the delegates as perhaps rather yer
rose but, as a whole, one of the best
formulated in years.
The convention adopted the follow
ng declaration regarding government
ownership of anthracite mines:
I'VE advocate the national owner
ship and operation Of the anthracite
tOdl ull1lC6 ny L1lC CA%AS10 Va IAAC AIS31t
Of eminent domain with just compen
5ation to owners. Ninety per cent. OF
the anthracite coal deposits of the
world being in the state of Pennsy1
Vania. national ownership can but be
in the interest of the whole people.
Fuel like water being public neces
sity, we advocate national ownership
and operation of the mines as a sOlu
ton of the problem which will relieve
the country from the sufferings which
follow differences between labor anC
capital in the anthracite mines. This
course will insure peace in the mining
regions and remove the cause for diff
ferences leading not only to suffering
but ofttimes to bloodshed and insur

Talks to the Students About Col.
leges of the East.

President Northrop returned from an
eastern trip this morning and spoke in
chapel on the relative conditions of east
ern and western colleges. He said:
while the work done in Minnesota COM
pares very favorably with that of the
older colleges of the est, there Is a marked
difference in the artistic surroundings
The eastern colleges seem to have an
abundance Of wealth and to know how to
use it. Their buildings, chapels and class
rooms are works Of art and are much more
pleasant than we have. Princeton is q
notable example; her. buildings are over
grown with ivy and the interiors are very
attractive. Many Of her alumni have at
tanned great wealth and have come back
to the college town, and spend their time
trying to aid and beautify their alma
mater.
''The university Of Minnesota is still
young and have hopes that her graduates
will be moved by the same impulses In the
next generation. They are as loyal as are
the graduates Of the eastern schools and
our own college will one day be noted for
it's artistic surroundings and handsome
buildings"

PLAN FOR THE EXPO
The Public Affairs Committee Hears
the Report of Its Special
. Committee. =,
The Idea Is to Retain the Conven.
ton Hall and House Small
Industries.

The Commercial club public affairs
committe probably paved the way for the
disposition. Of the Exposition building by
adopting a report submitted this after
noon by special committee, faVoring the
partition Of the building for manufacture
ing purposes, and at the same time re-
tanning the convention hall. The commit
tee advised that such disposition be made
Of the building as the only feasible way Of
preserving it for the best business inter-
estS Of the city both In the way Of utiliz-
ing the vast amount Of floor space now
going to waste and at the same time Sc
curing for the city convention hall now
controlled by private interests.
1t was shown that the property could be
secured for not more than $65, 900, and
that 1t would cost in the neighborhood Of
100000 to remodel it for manufacturing
purposes, The committee complained Of
lack Of desired support from business in
terests in furtherance of the project. but
it IS believed that all the cooperation
needed will be forthcoming when the ma
ture Of the enterprise IS fully understood.
With that end in view the club will give
business mon a chance to subscribe to the
necessary fund before its option on the
property expires Nov. 10.
The property is now owned by T. B.
Janney and B. F. Nelson Of the original
board Of exposition directors.
1t Is understood that the real estate
firm of Chute brothers is anxious to
finance the deal Immediately.

A NEW DOWNTOWN LOOP
Made by a Cross-0ver Switch at
First Avenue South and
Third Street.

A crew Of men began to-day to connect
the First and Fourth avenue systems OF
street railway with a curve at First ave-
nue. s and Third street. The track Will
join the right hand tracks Of both lines,
thus making it possible for Fourth avenue
short line cars to loop by the way of Sixth
street and permitting the company to re-
place the stubby double ender cars which
now switch back from, Hennep1n and
Fourth street with large cars. The COM
pany has always commended that 1t was
impossible under existing circumstances
to return Fourth avenue short line cars
excent over the First avenue line. This
method was used a while, but the new
loop will make it possible for the short
line cars to go up Hennepin to Sixth, down
Sixth to First avenue, on First avenue to
Third, and back to Thirty-first street.
The use of the loop in this way would be
a great boon to business men and shop
nine. women who wish to take Fourth
avenue car from the center Of the city,
and who are now compelled to transfer
from the Eighth and Central line at Sixth
and Fourth avenue S.

GEMS In THE ROUGH !
Mrs. H. B. Skidmore, Founder of
Five Points Mission, Tells Of
Its Great Work.
Though an 0ctogenarian, She Has
Come to Attend the Methodist
Missionary Meeting.

New Yorks great East Side, the con-
gested slum and tenement house district,
owes a debt of gratitude to Mrs. II. &.
Skidmore, now the guest of Mrs. j. f..
Bushnell In Minneapolis. Mrs. SkidmOre,
who was the originator and founder OF
the famous Five Points" mission, which
has done so much to brighten the lives of
the children of the poor and vicious, is
attending the meeting of the Women's
Foreign Missionary society of the Metho-
dist church, which will be In session at
Wesley church until Nov l. She IS %
years Of age, and has been active In the
work Of city eyangelization in New York
for the last fifty years.
THE Five Points of New York. said
Mrs. Skidmore today, was the most no
torious district in New York, and was the
haunt Of the criminal and vicious class
fifty years ago. Since our first humble
attempt at It's regeneration, great
change has come over the neighborhood,
and while Hector and Baxter streets look
much as they did In bygone years, there
has been a great improvement in the tene-
ment house district. There has been an
awakened conscience in New York, anu
practical philanthropy Is doing much TO
alleviate the condition of people IN the
lower walks who were formerly abandoned
by society.

SUPREME COURT ACTS
Orders Name Stricken from the Ballot
In Dakota County.

In Dakota County.
Dakota county republicans have now
only one candidate for the lower house of
the legislature. The supreme court to-
day ordered County Auditor Kelly to re-
move from tho ballot the name of A. L.
Dixson of Waterford.
Only one republican presented himself
for nomination at the primaries and the
county committee undertook to fill the
other place, holding that there was a
vacancy. The county auditor refused to
accept the nomination, relying on an opin-
ion Of Attorney General Douglas, who held
that the omission was not a vacancy, and
that after the primaries candidates could
only go on by petition as Independents.
The county committee went into court and
got, an order from Judge Crosby, who
ruled that a vacancy ext sted, which the
committee had power to fill.
Since then the same point was brought
directly before the supreme court from
Hennepin county. The could held with
the attorney general and against Judge
Crosby. This was in the case Of E. s.
Corser, whom the democratic county COM
mittee sought to place on the ballot as a
candidate for the house in the fortieth dis
trict. -..,'
Encouraged by this decision, the demo-
Gratis Of Dakota county went to work and
got their case before the supreme court
o-day on an appeal. The court reversed
Judge Crosby and made an order prompt
ly, directing Mr.. Dixsons name to be re-
moved. No opinion was filed, the order
merely followed the precedent of the Cor
ser case.

HOW T0SPEND
Money Raised by School Children of
the State for Hiawatha
Statue.
The Art Commissions Refusal to
Place Statue in Park Causes
Embarrassment.

The decision of the art commission to
refuse to allow the Fjelde statue of Hia-
watha and Minnehaha to be, placed in
Minnehaha park has developed an embar-
RAISING situation. The problem is what
to do with the fund of about $1,000 raised
by Mrs. L. P. Hunt and her committee for
this express purpose.
This money was secured by penny COL
lections from the school children all over
the state and it Is manifestly impossible
to return it either to the individual do
nors or the schools contributing. TO use
the money for another purpose than that
for which it was asked does not seem quite
the proper thing and there the matter
hangs.
A solution suggested by man deeply
interested both in identifying the city and
In the schools Is that in view of the I'M
usual circumstances the art commission
might be induced to waive a point and
allow the original plan to be executed. He
suggests that 1t is not necessary to give
the statue commanding site, thrusting
it upon the attention. A secluded spot
where it will be little noticed will answer
every purpose 50 far as the children are
concerned. His point is that it is a real
misfortune to disappoint the children
whose interest in the project has always
been a deep one and who could never be
made to understand the reason for its
ldAuEe. ne tIllHkS inc influence OK a OlS-
appointment of that kind would be more
harmful than that of a piece of art work
somewhat below the standard desired by
the commission. In view of the fact that
the plan was made and funds provided for
1t before the commission came into ex-
tstence, he thinks the commission might in
this case simply allow the matter to go by
default, as out Of it's province.
1t was only by special permission that
the collection for the statue was author
lied and there may be similar occasions in
the future. Failure to carry GU this plan
would be a damper much felt in arous-
ing sinterest in the schools in any other
public affair.
One proposal made in regard to the
fund, If the barrier to it's intended use
proves unsurmountable, is to turn the
money over to the state library commits
sion to be expended on the state travelling
library. This, it is believed, would be
open to few objections as no other institu
ton would nearly reach and benefit all
of those who contributed to the fund. The
commission is in great need Of funds, for
its appropriation is a very small one and
the demand for libraries far exceeds the
possible supply provided by the state ap
preparation. The thousand dollars would
equip from twenty to thirty small libraries
Of the highest grade according to the
number of volumes, and in time could go
the rounds Of the communities that gave
donations to the state fund.

FEARS FOR THE ELK
James Fullerton of Montana Says
the Animals Are Hunted for
Their Teeth.
He Has Just Appealed Personally to
Roosevelt to Protect
the Animals.

James Fullerton Of Red Lodge, Mont,
was in the city to-day en- route home
from Washington, D. c.. where he has
been to interest President Roosevelt in
protecting the big game in Yellowstone
Park. Mr.. Fullerton, while admitting
that he was at one time a poacher, is now
greatly interested in protecting the big
game on the reservation. He reports that
President Roosevelt Is interested in the
matter and has promised to do all he can
to enforce the laws against poaching in
the park.
There are a great many elks being
slaughtered in the park" said Mr.. Fuller
ton, land am sorry to say that the order
of Elks is Indirectly responsible for it.
The custom which is now in vogue Of
wearing elk's teeth for watch charms,
causes the slaughter Of hundreds Of elk
every year. Elk teeth are worth 81 each
at Red Lodge now and each elk carries
two teeth. Thus man makes So by kill
ing one elk. If man gets in among a
herd Of elk, he can make a lot of money
in one day, and it is likely he will never
be caught If the order Of Elks would
stop this wearing elk teeth as watch
charms, there would not be so many of
the animals killed.
THE laws regulating the slaughter Of
game on the government reserve are suffi-
GENTLY stringent, but the trouble all lies
in the fact that they can't be enforced
There are not enough guards employed
and then the guards are not watched care
fully enough by the superintendent. 1t
doesn't take a great deal Of money to buy
the privilege of hunting in the park if one
goes about it in the right way. The SOL
diers get $13 month and a $50 bill looks
mighty big in their eyes. Two more
troops Of cavalry could look after the park
and keep the poachers out.
'They say there are between $4,000 and
$4,000 elk in the reservation, but I want
to say that don't believe there are over
1000. I have hunted elk in the noun
tains for over thirty years and I am sure
that there are not more than that many
elk in the park. I Travelled 10 miles
through that country this fall and I saw
just eighteen elk"
