TO INSPECT ARSENAL
Secretary of War Roots Visit
Tomorrow TO Be One of
Business.
LITTLE TIME FOR ENTERTAINMENT
Will Spend Greater Part of the Day
as Guest of Maj.
Blunt.

Secretary of War Elihu Root will
arrive in the city at 11:15 tomorrow
morning over the Rock Island road
from Peoria, where he is to deliver
an address this evening before the
convention of the Illinois League of
Republican clubs.
j. w. Parker, of Watertown. who is
president of the Illinois League of
Republican clubs, travelled from Chi
cago to Peoria today with Secretary
Root. and this morning wired II. j.
Medill. the chairman of the tri-city
committee, definitely stating the
hour of the secretary's arrival here.
but adding that nothing could be
learned that would aid in Il program
of entertainment until after the sec
rotary reached Rock Island.
Maj BIunt's Guest.
Maj. S. +. Blunt, commandant at
Rock Island arsenal, today received
Il telegram from the war department
at Washington stating that the sec
rotary of war would be here tomor-
row and requesting him to be at the
train to meet him.
This is taken to mean that Score
tary Root comes chiefly to inspect
Rock Island arsenal. and that he will
have little time to give to sightseeing
in the three cities, although it is UNI
derstood he has expressed himself as
pleased to become the guest of the
tri-city committee if his visit at the
arsenal is concluded in time.
Maj. Blunt says it will take at least
until o'clock in the afternoon to
inspect the arsenal and water power.
He is anxious to make as favorab BILE
an impression as possible on the war
secretary with the advantages and
needs of the arsenal. and the people
of the three cities should have no
complaint how long he keeps him
over there.
Committee Holds Meeting.
The tri-city committee met last
night at the Rock Island Club, but
had nothing to work on, and simply
discussed informally the coming of
the secretary. \ luncheon was sug-
gested and the advisability of send
ing committee to Galva TO meet the
visitor was mentioned. but no action
was taken. Secretary Root expects
TO leave for Chicago at o'clock to-
morrow evening. 1t is likely he will
have about two hours to give to the
tri-cities, outside of his arsenal visit,
but the committee must wait iITSfp-
morrow before it can make any ar
rangements.

Lumberjack Stays a Chum in
Cold Blood He May Be
Insane.

Special to The Journal
Duluth, Mimi, Jan. 10.-A frightful muir
der was committed at noon to-day, when
Daniel Carlo slashed David Myllymaki
with a pocketknife several times, almost
cutting his head off,
1 Both men were Firms and lumberjacks,
and the murderer had lately arrived from
near Two Harbors and the murdered man
had come In from FoodWood, this county.
They We're sitting at a table in Signer &
Wytis' saloon on Lake avenue, and Carlo
was singing, with Myllymaki opposite.
Suddenly Carlo drew his knife, pressed
Myllymakis head down on the table. and
slashed at the back of it, making a deep
CASH
The injured man got up and started to
run, but Carlo followed caught him half
way up the saloon, pushed him against the
bar and cut into his neck, seYering the
Windpipe and cutting to the backbone.
Myl1ymaki, mortally wounded, stag
gered few steps and fell dead. Carlo
then jumped on his body again and again,
and made several horrible gashes in his
back, cutting to the bone. Then an Off
Ger entered and Carlo gave himself up
without a struggle.
There was no quarrel, and the men were
not drunk. Carlo said he was tenn
perance man, and the evidence was that
he had drank nothing though he had been
in the saloon all the morning. Carlo
acted peculiarly, but the officer could not
determine whether he was insane or at
tempting to simulate insanity.

SCARE ON CHANGE
Traders Learn of a Contagious Case
ssin Their Midst.''
GENERAL RUSH FOR VACCINE
Persons Suspected OF Carrying In.
lection Are Hustled Out Sans
Ceremonie.

There was panic on change yes
terday. Several hundred excited bro
kers danced around in the pit.
Others ran up and down the hallway lead
ing to the exchange-room. Every one
asked every one else the same ques-
lions: who is it?' ''When was it?'
"Are you sure it's SOP What will they
do about it?''
When things quoted down a bit, it
became known that man said to be
suffering from smallpox had been vaken
out of the pit. Edward Gunderson was
on change the better part of the morn
ing. About II o'clock he complained Of
not feeling we'll and started uptown to
see physician. AS soon as the doc
tor looked at him he pronounced it a case
Of smallpox. Word came in minute by
telephone to the Office Of e. B. Gunder-
son and in a twinkling 1t was all around
the floor. "Old Hutch in his palmy days
never made play that stirred up the
animals more than this. The traders
began to feel their arms, rub their faces
and take on nervous feeling generally.
II saw you talking to him. some one
would say, and then they would fall upon
the accused and hustle him out OF the
pit. It was warm session.
This is bear day for the anti-vacci-

around here that vaccination was q
mighty humbug. Somebody told Bill that
pit this morning. Two minutes later
Bill was going up Third street and you
could have played checkers on his Coat
tails. He was headed for Doctors
office and I'll bet he had the virus jabbed
into him IN eight places.

MERGER SUIT
Outline Of the Course That
Will Probably Be
Pursued.

From The journal B.orea,1, Room 20, Post
Building, Washington. '..
Washington, Jan. 10.-On the authority
Of one of the best known members of the
Minnesota delegation T b e J o u IN a
is able to announce positively that no
member Of thezdelegation is planning any
bill intended to affect the railway merger.
The matter was fully discussed during the
holidays with Governor Van SAINT and At
torney General Douglas, and has been
taken up this week with Douglas, Mum
and Wilson. Nobody sees any necessity
for any additional procedure at present.
The plan is to have the state follow up
its case before the supreme court and
later institute one against the Great
Northern and Northern Pacific in the
state courts. After decisions have. been
rendered in, these cases, it will be time
enough to know what legislation is need
ed if any. General Wilson told T h e
j gu rnal to-day that in his Judgment
the supreme. court, assuming permission
will be given to- begin suit, cannot reach
q final decision until late next fall. The
court will adjourn for the summer about
the middle of May: Should a suit be in
stituted, as the result of permission to
be granted next Monday, or some Monday
thereafter, thirty days would be given
each side for the filing of legal papers,
to summon witnesses in Chicago and New
York. and take testimony, and after that
the case will be brought into court, argued
and submitted. The court almost invari-
ably holds 8 case several weeks and some
times months, before announcing an opin-
ion AL these delays would carry the mat
ter far beyind the middle of May. Should
suit be instituted, the commissioner will
be able to take testimony at his leisure
during the summer. t5s'F
There is no way of knowing when the
supreme court will reply to Attorney Gen
eral Douglas request for permission to
bring suit. Saturday of each week is
consultation day, and probably Chief
Justice Fuller will not:lay the matter be-
fore his associates before that time, and
if then any Of the justices should want
time in which to look up questions in
volved, the case would go over for another
week longer. Z Mr.. Douglas saw the
chief Justice to-day and had pleasant
visit with him. No mention was made
of the merger matter. Mr.. Douglas was
ready in case the chief justice brought
the subject UP to suggest that an early
decision would be welcomed gladly by
many thousands of good people all over
the northwest.

ARMY CAMPS
Secretary's Scheme Found.
1npracticable Smelling
Again to the Front.

From Tho Journal Bsorea,s, Room IS. Post
Bssitdiss0, Washington.
Washington, Jan. 10.-On the authority
of members of the Minnesota delegation,
1t may be said that the board of high
army officers which is now considering
the selection of four large camps where
military maneuvers may be conducted
each summer for regular and national
guard troops, is likely to report to Sec
rotary Root that in it's judgment the
whole scheme is impracticable. Instead
of the TO IT large concentration camps it
is said that the board will favor slightly
charging some seven or eight existing
forts and conducting the maneuvers on a
much smaller scale than originally
planned.
Such a report by the board Of officers
would again bring Fort Smelling into the
race, for the proposed enlargement of it's
facilities which the state delegation is
trying hard to secure will make it
available for the purpose indicated. It is
said that there are serious practical OBJ
jections to Secretary Roots plan for four
large camps. Chief of these is the
distance state troops would have to
travel. Another is the length of time
which the maneuvers would require Al
together, it is believed to be the best So
luton of the problem to have a number Of
smaller posts, taking care each summer
of smaller number of troops each for
shorter periods of time.

THEY SPREAD CHAMBERS
THE CITY WATERING FOUNTAINS
City Veterinarian Keys Suggests s
Change. in. System of
Drainage.

The city watering fountains have been
a most dangerous medium for the spread
OF CHAMBERS, in the opinion ofzCity Veter-
marian Keys, and he recommends that the
system be changed. The heavy albumin
Gus discharges from glandered horses
often sink OF the bottoms of the troughs,
he says, and keep the water contaminated
for days. The fountains he holds, should
have bottom drainage and Through the
summer months should be enptied every
night and washed out with some anti
septic. The total number Of horses con-
.demned for CHAMBERS and killed last year
was 81. "a slight decrease from 1900.
Supervisor Mcconnell Of the city water
works, in answer to DR.. Keys criticism,
declares that bottom drainage is imprac-
ticable. The fountains are cleaned out
not less than twice week. The only safe
course, in his opinion is for transfers to
avoid the drinking fountain entirely. The
ideal plan from the standpoint Of the
health of horses, he says, is a simple
goose neck faucet from which each driver
may fill his pals. Experience has shown
however that teamsters will in most
cases let their horses go thirsty before
they will go to the trouble of using pals.

FIGHT G. ON PAYNE
He Is Confirmed, but Senators
Say Some Unpleasant
Things.

From The Journal Bureau, Room, 70, Post
BuatdtHO, Washington. ~, s@t-5 H.tti K. =
Washington, Jan. 10.-There was a red
hot fight in the senate to-day in executive
session. Governor Shaw had been con-
firmed as secretary of the treasury with
out opposition, and Henry c. Payne's
name had been presented for confrma-
ton as postmaster general. Then the
fun began. Senator Clay of Georgia.
member of the committee on postoffices,
objected because he had not been con-
suited in committee, and did not know
Payne's name was to be brought up for
confirmation to-day. 49,.
Senator Rawlins of Utah accused Payne
Of being member of the Utah Mining
Syndicate which has been trying to gobble
up lot of public lands. Senator Spooner
read letter from Payne stating that he
had not been member of that company
for twenty-five months. Senator Tillman
developed into the real. Obstructionist.
He was against Payne, although this
was not sta ted openly, because of Payne's
position with reference to cutting down
southern representation in national con-
ventions on account of the disfranchise-
ment of the negro vote, and because he
was an active republican partizan and
vice chairman of the republican national
committee. Tillman waxed eloquent, and
said that the confirmation should never
be made with his consent: He gestic-
ulated wildly, raised his shrill voice to its
highest key and grew red in the face
Finally Senator Rawlins said that he
would withdraw his opposition If Tillman
would. Senator Clay said the same thing.
But TilIman was immovable Then Sen
ator LiGge took a hand, making a strong
personal appeal to Tillman to withdra
his opposition. No result. Senator
Spooner made one like it. But still there
was nothing doing. =.
Then Senator Mason, chairman of the
! postoffice committee, made plea It was
his first official appearance as chairman of
the committee and his first report of a
cabinet officer for confirmation Since
Governor Shaw had already been con-
firmed it would take nasty lot of talk
not to confirm Payne also. If not con-
frmed to-day, the name would 80 over
until Monday. It would really be too bad
to place, the new postmaster general be-
fore the country in so unfavorable light.
With the Mason plea half a dozen
strong republican senators chimed in, and
then, after Mason had told Tillman what
a good fellow he (Tillman) was, what.
big and kind heart he had, how generous
he always was etc, !Tillman reluctantly
withdrew his opposition and Mr.. Payne
was confirmed. 49,

MONEY FOR CAR MEN
Street Railway Co. Will Rebate
$4,000 to Employees.
DEPOSIT PLAN TO BE ABOLISHED
In the Past, Each Man Has Had to
Deposit Twenty-Five Dollars
as a Guaranty.

Each conductor and motorman in the
employ Of the street railway company
will tomorrow receive the $25 deposited
by him at the beginning Of his service as
guaranty against shortage Of funds or
loss of property entrusted to his care.
There are 1000 men at york for the COM
pany in the capacity OF car men, which
will make the total refund $4,000. Since
the organization of the company this de-
post has heen required of all conductors
and drivers. 1t has served as q bond in
the case Of the former, insuring the
company against the possibility of the
fare collectors leaving before turning in
the amount of their collections, or other
losses, and in the case of motormen pro-
viding for reimbursement of the company
in the event of loss of or unnecessary
damage to tools and other property left
in their hands.
The company has decided that this de-
post is not necessary and will refund
the money tomorrow if all arrangements
can be made. 1t is probable that some
form of bond will be required from the
employees mentioned, but just what it will
be has not yet been determined.

MILLS HOTEL SITE
The New Structure May Replace
the St. James Hotel.
ESTIMATED TO COST $26o,ooo
The Location Will Bring the Insti-
tuition Into Close Touch With
Transients.

The new Mills hotel for Minneapolis
will probably be located on the present
site of the st. James hotel, washington
and Second avenues S. The deal has been
under consideration for some time, and
next week a number of those interested
will go eastto confer with the owners,
After the property has been secured,
the present hotel building will pc torn
down to make way for a new $25O,oO0
structure, thoroughly modern and we'll
equipped in every way. OF the asssney re-
quired much has already been s-,scrlDed'
and little difficulty is expected IN raising
the remainder.
The hotel is expected to be self-support-
ing. The location could not be we'll an
proved upon. 1t is in the heart of the
downtown district, within block or
the present Union Mission, and about
midway between the union and Milwaukee
stations. The unusual success attending
the Union Mission the past year has made
the mission board feel confident that the
new hotel will not only pay expenses, but
that.i can be made to pay small pront.
Last year the mission fed about 10000
free of charge. However, the hotel run
in connection made profit OF ABOUT
$1,000, and this just about paid the loss
in the restaurant.
Moreover the mission hotel was unable
to accommodate the crowds that applied
1OT Quarters. tdIely Was Cu6Ic d 4ooAA ~
spare, and usually twice as many applied
as could be cared for. This, too, was &C
complished without advertising, the mis-
sion managers not daring to advertise
simply because they knew they would be
unable to take care Of the increased
business that would result.
The hotel will be operated along the
lines followed by similar institutions else
where. Room and board will be provided
as cheaply as possible, and yet everything
will be kept scrupulously clean. While in
the east the mission board will visit sim
liar hotels to get pointers.
Plans for the new building have already
been submitted by the architect, but may
be modified slightly before final accept
ance. They call for a brick structure,
several stories in height and with an at
tractive front, a building that will be a
credit to the city. SO
c. M. Stocking, who has managed the
Union Mission for several years, land who
has studied the problems confronting
Mills hotels in other cities, will accom-
:pany the board on its eastern trip and
give its members the benefit of his ex-
perience. He feels confident OF the sue
cess of the undertaking.
Unless some unforeseen obstacle arises,
the Minneapolis Mills hotel will probably
be opened for business by next fall. In
all probability active work will begin IN
the spring.
