It Has Suffered in the East, Says
A. G. Paul.
ERRORS REGARDING POLICE CASES
Fasteners Think Whole City Adj
ministration Is Rotten-Way
N. E. A. Was Handled.

A. C. Paul, president of the CONNER
cial club, returned this morning from an
eastern trip. He found Minneapolis had
received wide advertisement, both by
word OF mouth and through the press-fa-
vOrable, when 1t referred to the manner
IN which the N. q. A. convention was
handled, and the reverse when municipal
matters were bruited. Mr., Paul said to-
day: II
have been In Syracuse, Rochester, Boston,
New York and Washington, and there was no
one with whom I talked who did not know
more or less of the troubles we have been
having with the mayor and the police depart
ment. The eastern papers had something
almost every day in reference to the matter,
and Minneapolis was the subject of much un-
favorable comment. One of the most dis
heartening things comes from the fact that
eastern people and eastern papers seem to
think that this condition Of affairs exists in
all branches Of the city government. 7 no.
ticed comparisons between the disclosures
here and those of st. Louis which we know
showed more widespread condition of cor
ruption. There has been a great deal of sur
prise among eastern people that a city Of
this size Should have condition OF affairs
which is looked for only among the largest
cities. -
I did what could to correct the impress
sions. While in Washington a reporter from
the Post come to see me and called speclal
attention to the fact that this corruption ex-
listed only in the police department and that
Minneapolis city government Is far ahead OF
that of most cities of its size. g."
noticed great deal of favorable comment
in eastern papers in reference to the N. f. A.
convention here, the manner in which 1t had
been handled and the way in which visitors
had been taken care of. - - -.''>-

W.D.LORD ARRESTED
He Is Held by Police at Everett,
Wash.
AN INDICTMENT FOR HIM HERE
ment of $4,000 From His
Employer.

William D. Lord, formerly cashier and
confidential clerk for 8. II. Hall & Co.,
the well known commission house, has
been arrested in Everett, Wash, and is
being held until an officer from Minnc-
apolis comes for him with requisition pa
pers from the governor of Minnesota Lord
is wanted on an indictment for larceny
in the first degree.
1t is charged that Lord defrauded his
employer out of some $4,000. Being in
charge of the books and implicitly trusted
he had every opportunity for embezzle-
ment and did not hesitate to avail himself
of his chances. His favorite method was
that OF "kiting" checks. He made out all
checks and so could easily draw a check
in such a manner as to leave spaces for
the insertion of words and figures later
on. After the check had been signed by
the proper authority he could raise it to
any amount
Lord left last fall and has been wander
ing about in the west. His family has
been in Everett for some time and after
long watch by the police he was finally
located. Deputy Sheriff George 10th left
to-day. 1t is understood that he will also
keep an eye open for news of Inspector
Charles Bracket.

OUT FOR BUGS.
The West Side Pumping Station Is
at Work.
CITY WATER SHOULD BE BOILED
Break in One of North Side Pumps
Necessitates Use of Lower
Station.

The water works department has finally
found it necessary to put the West Side
week or more the Minneapolis public will
take it's water supply we'll diluted with
the noxious product Of the lower station
and, until the danger has passed, the
prudent ones will boil their drinking wa
ter.
The West Side station was put into use
Sunday noon. The reservoir was half
empty, owing to the stopping of one Of
the North Side pumps, and there was no
alternative. About one-half the city's
present water supply is now taken from
the lower station. Supervisor Mcconnell
believes that the broken pump will be in
use early next week, and as soon thereaf-
ter as the reservoir is filled to it's normal
capacity again the lower station will be
shut down.

J. LIT GETS McYICKER'S
THEATER NAPOLEoN's NEW DEAL
Investment of s45o,ooo in Chi
cago's Most Famous
Theater.

To-day Jacob Lift will take possession
as proprietor of McVicker's theater In
Chicago, which he has occupied as ten
ant for some time and which, under his
direction. has been imane nensely popular
and successful. Theodore T.. Hays, mana
ger of two of Mr., Lifts twin city thea
ters, and general representative for him
in the northwest, had long telegram
from "A. W. Dingwall, Mr.. Lifts general
manager, advising him of the closing of
the negotiations. .,vf...>.t .,.,-.'..y - H..
Mr.. Litt has come into possession of the
interest Of Mrs. Harry D. McVicker,
amounting to seven -eighths of the capital
stock of the MeVieker Theater company,
thus securing absolute control OF the
theater building on Madison street near
State, and the ninety-nine year lease
hold interest In the ground. .a...."
The playhouse is one of the Oldest in
the city and better known throughout the
United States than any other theater in
the country. The first theater was built
on the present site in 1856 by Mr.. Nc
Wicker. In >1s72 another theater was
built at a cost of about $3.50, 1000. The
building was destroyed by fire in 1891
and the present company was then formed
and the present building erected. The
land is owned by the school board and is
leased. The ground rent is reported to be
$27 900 per year and the original ground
rent at the time the building was hrst
erected In 1865 is said to have been
$2,700 The Investment for Mr.. Lift rep
resents about $3.50, 1000, and 1t Is also his
intention to spend this summer from
$4,000 to $4,000 in repairs and improve
ments Mr.. Lift now controls, either
through ownership or lease, the Broadway
theater, New York, the BiJou, Metro
politan and Lyceum, Minneapolis; the
Grand, st. Paul, and the Bijou, Milwau-
kee. 1t Is conceded that there is not a
manager operating Independently in the
United States whose buildings In the dra-
matte business are more extensive or
whose theatrical ventures are more sue
cessful. .... .e
In speaking OF the deal, Manager Theo-
dore 4. Hays stated: II believe it a
master stroke. 1t is conceded generally
that McVicker's theater is the most de-
sirable piece of theatrical property in
Chicago, Ideally located, 1t has every
other feature to recommend it. Large
auditorium, immense stage. perfect
acoustics, healthful architectural fea-
lures, and, as regards, exits, one of the
safest theaters in the world. 1t has
been eagerly sought for by both leading
managers of New York, Chicago and the
east, and Mr.. Dingwall is certainly de-
serving of great praise for bringing his
negotiations to successful end"

A PATRIOTS COMPLAINT
Thinks "Star SpangIed Banner

Thinks "Star. SDanEled Hammer
Should Arouse Enthusiasm.
.'Is patriotism on the wane in this
country" asked spectator at the Wild
West show Saturday. What an ideal
time for the audience to burst into song
when the soldiers in bivouac the evening
before the mimic battle of San Juan hill
began the national hymn. 7 could hardly
keep from jumping un to lead the thous-
ands in an anthem which would smite
the skies, but the audience remained
cold.
American, or at least, Minneapolis
audiences show no feeling of patriotism
when the Star spangled Banner Is
played. Why, a Canadian audience un-
covers every time British national airs
are played, but not q man en.oved his
hat Saturday when the hymn of Old
Glory was begun by the band Every
militiaman or regular knows what hap-
pens to a man who lasses headquarters
flag without removing his hat, but the
rule does not seem to hold anywhere
else, Perhaps it is because we have not
been brought up under the shadow of
royalty and every man is a sovereign
himself

''HANDS" GO WEST
Beginning Of Harvest in South
Dakota Is Near.
MEN FROM SOUTH AND EAST
They Are Expected to Meet the De-
mand Fully--2OO Sent Out
Yesterday.

The midsummer movement toward the
harvest fields of Minnesota and the Da-
kotas began yesterday. About 200 men
were sent out by Minneapolis employ
ment agencies into various sections,
mostly into South Dakota, where the har-
vest season will be in full blast In a
few days. The reduced railroad rates of
30 to any point in the three states went
into effect Saturday. There are not many
idle men in the city now. But harvest
hands are coming in fast, chiefly from
Iowa, Missouri and Indiana points, and
the close of the week will find the move
ment at nearly its full strength.
The local employment agents look for a
brisk demand this year, but believe that
the supply will be equal to the call. They
do not now see any reason for taking
any other than the traditional methods
for securing men for harvest work. At
Detroit, Mich, an association has been
formed known as the Dakota Harvest as
sociation, whose object it is to secure men
for the harvest work in the two states.
j. H. Olmstead, manager Of the associa-
ton, passed through the two cities yes
terday with lot Of men for South Da-
kota points. While the word association
sounds little strange in this connection.
local employment men say it is only an
other name for an employment agency.
