LARGE ATTENDANCE
FOR THE CONFERENCE
Joint Trans Mississippi Committee Re-
ports Prospects to Be of the
Brightest.

The joint committee of the Trans
Mississippi Commercial congress, COM
prising the executive, finance, enter
yesterday afternoon at 80 in the di-
rectors' room of the Commercial club,
Runfus A. Hoyt presiding, in the alb
sence of Mayor Smith.
Numerous letters received by the
committee from governors of the
Western states, the mayors of all the
large cities and secretaries of CONNER
cial bodies indicate great interest in
the meeting of the congress to be held
in this city Aug. 10 to %, inclusive,
and a very large attendance is already
assured. The congress cannot but re-
dound to the credit of st. Paul and
advertise the city in a most favorable
way throughout the country.
The committee. yesterday adopted
the design of the badge to be worn
during the congress- which will con-
sist of a button upon which st. Paul
will be shown as the central point of
North America, and streamers of red,
white and blue, on one of which will
be printed in gold letters the word "del-
egate;" on another, Trans mississippi
Commercial Congress, Thirteenth Ses-
sion," and on the third the dates.
Arrangements were made to estab-
lish a bureau of information at the
union depot, in charge of Prof. J. E.
Kenny.
The joint committee will meet again
next Thursday at the same place and
hour

ARCADE BRIDGE PLANS
NOT SATISFACTORY
FIRST Ward Residents Insist That
Roadway Be Fully Forty
Feet Wide

AS the nucleus of a fund with which
to build new steel bridge on Arcade
street, the conference committee at it's
annual meeting last December set
aside $4,000. This amount was to be
used in building the approaches and
abutments, the conference committee
this year to supply the remainder of
the money, about 10000, for the con-
struction of the bridge proper.
That the preliminary work will be
done this year is very doubtful At
the last meeting of the board of alder
men the plans and specifications were
sent in by the bridge department for
approval but they were not considered,
being sent to the committee on streets
instead. The whole trouble is that the
department insists on providing a
twenty-four-fo roadway instead Of a
forty. Those who use the bridge say
it must be the latter width, and they
are being backed by Aid. Holt, in
whose ward the bridge lies.
The residents of Arcade street say
the bridge is heavily used, and to
make it twenty-four feet wide in the
face of increasing traffic would be a
waste of money. They insist that it
be made right while there is time, and
in order to see that their wishes re-
ceive consideration, are preparing to
call upon the council in a body.

CLAPP is INTERESTED
IN PROPOSED BUREAU
Study of criminology for Scientific
Basis interests Minnesota
Senator.

Since crininology has come to be
more and more recognized of late years
as a practical science, and it's counter
acting the criminal tendency has been
recognized, movement has been start
ed in congress to establish a bureau
of archaeological research as a regu-
lar branch of the national government.
Prominent among those whose interest
and effort have been enlisted in this
project is Senator Moses E. Clapp, of
this state, and in conversation with
T h e G l o b e on this subject last even-
ing, Senator CIapp outlined the plan
somewhat as follows:
$50 far is has barely reached a be-
ginning, but measures have been rffxen
to arouse an interest in the study of
criminology This project is being
pushed by DR.. II. w. Macdonald, of
Washington, who has made a study
of crimino1ogy, and has collected a
great deal of data and general infor-
nation as to crime and it's causes. 1t
is proposed that the government shall
establish a bureau, or perhaps it would
be more proper to say an agency, for
the collection and systematic compi1a-
ton of chronological data, with the
ultimate purpose of some scientifically
applied effort to overcome the inf1u-
ences which conduce to crime. All
criminology, however crude and imper-
fectly developed, recognizes the fact
that crime, using the term in its broad
sense, is very largely matter of en-
vironment and influence; and the con-
clusion is but natural that there may
be means found to reach these causes
by properly applied effort, and thus
to overcome the criminal tendency in
great measure.
cat present the plan is merely to es-
tablish a bureau or agency Of crim1no-
logical research, and what legislative
action would be likely to folloY 1T is
impossible at this time to say.

which totally destroyed two residences

Chief Jackson stated to the board yes
terday that he had investigated, and
believed that the alarm of fire was de-
layed.

FEW SCHOOL REPAIRS
MADE THIS SUMMER
George GerIach Says Funds Have
Been Too Low to Do
Much

George N. Gerlach, superintendent
of construction of the public schools,
has about finished the repairs on the
school buildings which are usually
made during July and August. The
repairs this year have been limited to
the rebuilding of wall of the Franklin
school and repairs to the floors in the
Longfellow school.
This does not signify that other re-
pairs were not necessary, but there
has been a shortage in the repair fund
and the garment had to be cut &C
cording to the CLOTH as ex-Comptrol-
Ter McCardy was wont to explain.
Last year during the vacation
time" said Supt. Gerlach, we ex-
pended something like $4,000 in school
repairs. This year we could have ex-
pended about half as much, but the
fund was short, and aside from fix
ing the wall on the Franklin school
and repairs to the floors in the Long
fellow building, nothing has been done.
The total expenditures this summer
will not exceed $4,000. Last summer
we had a force of eighty-four men at
work and this summer the largest
number employed, and then only for
a short time, was eighteen"

EMINENT SPEAKERS
CONSENT TO ATTEND
Good Roads Convention Promises to
Attract Some Notable
Experts.

Arrangements are being rapidly
perfected for the good roads conven-
ttoh, to be held at the state fair
grounds Sept. 1 to 8, inclusive, and
great interest in the event has been
aroused throughout the entire state
and all this portion of the Northwest.
This convention will be held under
the auspices Of the United States de-
partment of agriculture, with the CO.
operation of the Minnesota Good
Roads association and the State Fair
association, and all of the commercial
and industrial organizations are act
lively assisting in the preparations.
Il. f. Beardsley, secretary of the
Chamber of Commerce, has now in
preparation a list Of all the township
supervisors of the state, and to each
of these officers, as well as to mayors
and other city and town officials, will
be sent the call for the convention,
which has been issued by the office of
good roads inquiry of the United States
department of agriculture.
This convention, which will inaugu-
rate the work to be done in this state
and all along the line of the Great
Northern road by the good roads train
already described in T lie G o b e, will
be demonstration of considerable
magnitude, and although it has been
termed a state convention, there will
be speakers here from all parts of the
country and Canada, most of them
men already very prominent in the
good roads movement. The time Sc
lected is fair week, which will be most
convenient for the farmers of all parts
of this state. The programme has not
yet been arranged in detail, but meet
ings will be held on the afternoon of
Monday, Sept. 1, Tuesday morning and
afternoon and Wednesday morning and
Tuesday evening there will be stere-
optfcon lecture.
w. H. Moore. of Chicago. president

ton, has already accepted an invitation
to be present, and invitations have
also been sent to c.. e. LittlefeId, of
Rockland, Me-; A. w. Campbell, To-
ronto, deputy minister of public works
of Canada; Andrew Patull, Wood
stock, president of the Ontario Good
Roads association; and John Buhle, Of
the Highway Alliance of New York.
Senator Hanna and Secretary Wilson
were also asked to attend, but have
replied that they will be unable to do
SO, owing to previous engagements.
A most successful good roads meet
ing was held at st. Cloud Tuesday of

IOWANS HAVE FOOD
ANALYZED IN ST. PAUL.
Lack of Pure Food Laws Causes
Them to Depend on Min
nesota

The dairy and food commission re-
ceived yesterday a sample of cider
vinegar from resident of Lake Park
low, with the request that an ana1y-
sis be made of the same and q report
sent to him as to it's purity.
Yes, we frequently have requests
of this kind from residents in Iowa
along the Minnesota line" said In
spector Dingman, "and when not too
busy, make the analysis for them. The
trouble u.s." continued the inspector,
that Iowa has no food commission
and our department has more trou-
bic in the southern tier of counties
in this state from the sale of adulter-
ated food supplies from Iowa than in
all the rest of the state. This is ow-
ing to there being no pure food laws
in Iowa, and firms which manufacture
cheap and adulterated articles find
ready sale for them in the Minnesota
counties along the Iowa line.
II have just completed an analysis
of a package of pepper which was
sold in one of the towns near the Iowa
line for 5 cents, or the rate of Is
cents per pound. AS would be imag-
ined, the article is not only bad, but
greatly adulterated. The only thing
which will prevent such business is the
adoption by Iowa of a pure food law
such as is now in force in Minnesota"

OBJECTS TO CONSTANT
DEMAND FOR EXTRAS
Commissioner Powers Openly Declares
His Mind Concerning New
County Jail.

Thousands of dollars are being sunk
IN Ramsey county's new Jail without
investigation and l won't stand for 1t
any longer" declared Commissioner
Powers at the meeting of the county
board yesterday.
A bill for $414.20 for the changing Of
feed pipe was before the board for
consideration, and the commissioner
from the New Brighton district did not
propose to allow the bill, for the pres
ent, at least.
Requests similar to this are con-
stantly coming before this board said
Mr.. Powers, land always accompanied
by demand that immediate action be
taken. I don't think the superintend-
ent looks ahead very much. This Jail
is going to cost an enormous sum of
money If we constantly grant these ex-
ira demands. There must be more in
vestigation.
Extras will come piling in from this
time on. These men, the superintend
ent and the architect, if they are COM
petent men, ought to have known what
they wanted six months ago. We are
asked to hurry, and why should we
hurry let the architect bring his plans
before the board
The bill was filed by Dwyer Bros.
and requested that the board take i'm
mediate action on the matter, so that
IL
the specifications now stand, a main
feed pipe goes through the northern
portion of the structure, which is to
be used by the sheriff's residence, and
the architect has announced that it
will supply altogether too much heat,
for the comfort of the sheriff.
The commissioners are greatly in
censed at the slow progress that is
being made in the construction of the
Jail, and particularly at the vast
amount of little bills that turn up at
every meeting, calling for various sums
for extra work, not called for in the
original plans.
s1oner Powers yesterday, and hereafter
if anyone wants to get any extra
work" money out of Ramsey county
for the construction of the new Jail, he
viii have to appear before the county
board and explain all the why's and
WhereforeS, otherwise his bill will not
be allowed. The bill of Dwyer Bros.
was carried over
The contract for the grading of Rice
street was left to E. A Boyd, at $2,999,
which is $500 in excess of the estimate
of County Surveyor Irvine. Only one
bid was received.
1t is practically decided that the con-
tract for the heating of the new Jail
will go to the st. Paul Gas Light com
pany at $4,000 per year Other bids
were received by the commissioners at
a lower figure, but if these were ac-
cepted the county would have to in
stall its own heating plant, which is
considered inadVisable at the present
time

TEAM OWNERS WILL
FIGHT FORRESTAL FIRM
Differences Over Hauling Coal to be
Contested to the End.

The Team Owners union had an at
tendance of about $50 at it's regular
meeting Wednesday evening and the
question of the fight that is being wag-
ed by the union against Forrestal &
Co., in regard to hauling coal, was dis
cussed at length. The matter was
finally brought to finish by the pas
sage of a resolution which expressed
the sentiments of those present and in
effect is as follows: THAT this coal
fight against the Forrestal company
shall be carried on to the finish, re-
CARELESS of cost or time, with the re-
quest that all labor organizations that
have not already promised, together
with those that have, will support the
Team Owners union in it's fight
against the company.
The candidacy of J. Preston for the
nomination of representative on the
Democratic ticket from the Eighth and
Ninth wards, north Of the railroad
tracks, was unanimously indorsed. The
union also passed a resolution to the
effect that it would indorse any union
labor man running for Office this fall,
no matter what his party affiliations
might be.
