PLEA is FOR PURE FOOD
SENATOR M'CUMHER ARGUES FOE
NATIONAL RESTRICTIVE LAW
He Declares AduIteratiOn of Food
as bad as COunterfeiting Money,
and Thinks Manufacturers Favor
Measure.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., April 25.-Dur-
ing a speech today in support of a pure
food bill, Senator McCumber, of North
Dakota, said that for a quarter of a
century nearly every state in the Union
had been struggling with the question OF
pl occurring pure foods. Experience had
proved that 1t had been impossible to OBJ
tain uniformity in state laws. This LII
NaS not so drastic as had been proposed
heretofore; and he believed that no L.
gitimate objection to 1t could be raised II
attempted to regulate the sale OF only
such foods as entered interstate com
merce and congress therefore had ample
authority to deal with the subject
He declared that the extent of the
adulteration and misbranding of food
products was appalling. The laws, he
said, severely punished the stamping of
lead "a money. It was counterfeitiug
and the man who should advocate the re-
peal of the law against counterfeiting Of
money would be regarded as insane. Yet
dust or mud was stamped as -four ana
glucose as honey. The one wrong was no
greater than the other
The amount Of deleteriOus food
products placed upon the market each
year Mr. McCumber said was valued az
S,17eOOO,000, while the total amount of
aGulterated food products each year was
nearly $4,000, 100000
Mr.. McCumber expressed the belief
based upon evidence taken by his com
nittee that manufacturers and dealers
generally would not object to the enact
ment of the bill proposed inasmuch as il
would put them all upon a uniform busi-
ness basis.

BRIDE QUICK TO LEAVE
Pastoral Life Is Not to Her LiIx-
ing, and Her Husband starts
Suit for Divorce.
Special to The Globe.


MILWAUKEE, April 25.-The past
four days have been exceedingly busy
ones for James r. Minor, a farmer liv-
ing in Kenosha county. During that
brief period he has met, courted, mar
ried and separated from a woman named
Carrie Hansen, which he met through
the kindly assistance of a Chicago mat
rlmonial bureau.
In an advertisement Minor read of a
young woman who was of a loving
nature and wanted a husband. Minor,
who was looking for a wife, decided
that one with a loving nature was about
what he wanted, and accordingly open
ed up a correspondence with Miss Han
sen.
Out of the correspondence there grew
an engagement of a meeting, which took
place in Chicago Sunday. He met her
Of the loving disposition, and she prom
iscd to marry him. Miss Hansen is
eighteen years cid, and resided with her
parents in Chicago.
Monday morning she arrived at Ken
osha, and he met her at the depot,
bought the wedding finery and they then
drove to Waukegan, and were married.
They went to Minors place at Ranney,
and his friends gave them a hearty re-
ception.
But Tuesday she of the loving disposi-
tior became wearied of farm life and
pastoral surroundings. and likewise Of
connubial bliss. Minor drove her to
the station and his bride gave him back
the wedding ring and told him he was
free. and she went back to Chicago,
while Minor returned 10 his farm.
Wednesday Minor applied for a divorce
from mis- hastily welded bride of three
days at Kenosha.

FIGHT FROM BEHIND

Republicans Suppress Facts to Ma
Hgn the Police Depart
ment

The citizens Of st. Paul are net in
fiuenced by the attacks Of the Republican
spellbinders and press on the splendid po-
lice department given it by Mayor Smith
and the Democratic police board
Yesterday the Republic an press gio3ted
over the reports of three burs!aries dur
ing the preceding night. In their glee
they attempted to show that the police
department is inefficient, ana to hide
the reign of crime and terror which pre-
vailed during Dorans administration by
charging ttat the city is overrun with
criminals.
One fact they did not gloat over, nor
was it mentioned by the veracious chron-
iclers CT Republican campaign precept
and public transformation. They re-
lated at length the commission or the
crimes, but they did not relate that in
each case Chief O'Connoc's police had the
criminals behind the bars wi'hin six
hours after the COMMISSION of ihe crimes,
and in one instance 4 e criminal was APP
pretended and the stolen property re-
covered within three hours after the
con mission of the crime.
Facts and honesty have small place
in the campaign being waged by Re
publicans, who have records to shield be-
hind a fabric of Misrepresentation and
yilification.

BInHVNo y ! 10 Beware of POOR limitations
CANALS ARE COMPARED
CABINET DISCUSSES PANAMA AND
NICARAGUAN PROJECTS
There Appears to BE "a General Re-
Two Treaties Regarding the
Amount to BE Paid Down, 1t Be-
ing 100000 in Each Case.

WASHINGTON, D. c., April 25-The
cabinet held a short session today dur
ing which the relative propositions of the
Colombian and Nicaraguan governments
In connection with the proposed canal
were discussed. Both propositions will
be at once submitted to congress- The
president is exceedingly anxious that
some decision may be reached at this
session.
A comparison of the outlines of the
agreements or treaties made by the state
department with Colombia in relation to
the Panama canal and with Nicaragua
and Costa Rica as to the Nicaragua canal
shows a general resemblance in the scope
of the arrangements.
One point of resemblance is the amount
of money to be paid down at once by
the United States government to the
country making the concession in each
case, this being 100000. If the Panama
route is chosen Colombia gets all of this
money. If the choice falls on the Near
aqua, it will receive S6,G00000 and Costa
RIGA $1,000,00O.
No provision is made in the Colombian
protocol for the payment of any annual
rent-that matter will be left to future
adjustments. The agreements as to the
the rent to be paid, which is $4,000 per
annum, of which Nicaragua will get
about $4,000 and Costa RIGA $4,000
The original proposition was to pay a
lump sum representing the capitalization
of this rent for 100 years, but the re-
publics prefer to have the money paid
yearly in recognition of their sovereignty,
and in consideration of the allowance of
their wish in this matter they have gone
to the length of making the lease to the
United States perpetual as against the
100 year renewable lease of the Colombian
agreement

court house. He gave the city no perma-

plead guilty to municipal inactivity and
wearing out the city he should be honest
enough not to charge extravaganza upon
an administration which has made an
effort to lift the city out Of the deplor-
able conditions which he and his party
left"
E. c. Stringer discussed the history of
increase in the budget chiefly due to
;ohools in a Most interesting and con-
manner. His remarks were in har-
mony with the non-partisan character of
the meeting but he did brand as untrue
the Republican charge that the Demo-
Gratis are responsible for the increased
rate of taxation He said the schools are
responsible for the increase and that had
IL not been for the deplorable condition
of the schools, the city would not now be
enjoying it's home rule charter
Mr.. Stringer said that for ten years
prior to the tment of the new charter
no new schc Juildings were erected or
hardly dollar expended in repairs on
the old buildings. The buildings became
unsanitary and unfit for the children or
teachers and for two years prior to the
enactment of the charter $500 children
were excluded from the buildings one
half of the school time The charter was
framed to provide money for the schools
and made it incumbent upon Mayor Smith
and the Democratic administration to re-
move the conditions which were brought
about by lack of funds.
National Committeeman T. D. o Brien
expressed himself strongly in condemna-
ton of the personal abuse and misrepre-
sentation which the Republicans have
injected to the campaign, and said much
Of the Republican argument is as sense
less as, the attempt to connect Mayor

dition. With his characteristic energy he
set about bringing order out of chaos.
The records seemed hopelessly muddled.
The national guard just returning from
service in the volunteer army was disoT-
gained without arms or equipments.
At the end Of his two-year term, Gen.
Lambert retired, leaving the office and
it's records in perfect condition, and was
hailed by the national guard and the old
soldiers as the best adjutant general
Minnesota ever had. Immediately upon
! his retirement he was elected to the COM
n.and of the First battalion of artillery,
which command he now holds.
Gen. Lambert is not only good law
yer and good citizen. but he is a good
