Mlllard Lee, convicted of the murder
OF Miss Lila May SuttleG and sentenced
to hang, will not be executed on next
Friday, the day on which his present re-
spite will expire. Governor Terrell
granted another respite to the con.
demned man Monday morning, and this
will hold good until October 90, on
which day the young man will pay the
penalty of his crime on the gallows, un-
less the Supreme Court intervenes or the
chief executive exercises his constitu-
tional right and oommutes the sentence.
Mr.. Hill, one of the attorneys for Lee,
simply called the attention of the Gov
ernor TO the fact that the present respite
would expire on next Friday and tho APP
peal to the Supreme Court, was still
pending.

A commendable Work at Red Hill.


q work has been inaugurated by the
citizens of Red Hill school district that
means great deal to every one interested
in the moral and spiritual status of the
community. A Sunday school has been
in progress at the school house for seve-
raj months. The people seem to be
moved and are turning out in handsome
numbers. They seem to realize the
need of such an institution at that place,
and are supporting it in way that
speaks we'll for their earnestness and
zeal. Not being satisfied with this ac-
complishment, they met last Thursday
night and started a prayer meeting,
which will be held every Thursday night
at early candle light. With such an au-
spicous beginning, they can reasonably
expect good results. Rev. NJ. Gam
brell Holland has been preaching oc-
oasionally, and arrangements are be-
ing made to begin q series of
MEETINGS some time soon. These
meetings are strictly undenominational :,
nothing but the advancement of the
cause, and the consequent good of the
community, being considered. Every
body is invited to attend all these
meetings, and warm welcome awaits
all, without any regard, whatever, to
their creeds.

PLACE FOR EUSTIS
Secretary Shaw Offers Him a 81 900
Position With Life
Tenure.
Place Is on the Board of Appraisers
Of the Port of New
i York.

=. -
To Former Mayor William Henry Eus-
tbs Of this city has been offered by Sec
rotary Shaw a. position on the board of
appraisers of the port of New York, a
position carrying.Ea salary Of $1,000 and
life tenure. Mr.. Eustls was surprised yes
terday to find that knowledge of this
matter had apparently emanated from
Washington. but when questioned in re-
gard to the matter, admitted that such
a proposition had been made to him and
that, in accordance with instructions to
present Endorsements from sena tors and
others, he had forwarded such letters to
Secretary Shaw.
ing to Mr.. Eustis and his friends from
the fact that it was entirely unsolicited
on his part; in fact he had no knowledge
of the existence Of vacancy on the
board of appraisers and no disposition
to seek appointment in that or any other
direction. 1t appears. however, that Sec
rotary Shaw, thru his personal acquaint-
ance with Mr.. Eustis, and on account of
valuable servicese rendered to the secre
tary by Mr.. Eustis on a late mission to
the Hawaiian islands selected him as par
ticularly we'll qualified for the duties of
this responsible office.
The board Of appraisers constitute a
part Of the machinery Of the treasury de-
partment for the administration Of the
revenue laws. The position calls for bust
ness experience and legal qualifications
both Of which Mr.. Eustis possesses in a
high degree. He says that while the
duties of the office will doubtless require
his residence in New York for at least
a great part Of the time, he will maintain
his legal residence in Minnesota, where
he has large business interests. His bust
ness affairs, however, are now in such
shape that he can undertake the duties Of
this office without financial loss or en-
barrassment to himself. He is in receipt
of many hearty congratulations from
friends on his preferment

EXTRA TAX OF $50
Chamber of Commerce Members May
Have Their Dues Doubled to
Meet Expenses.
Operating Expenses of Exchange Elk.
coed the Income-Drawing on
Sinking Fund. ..-

Every one of the $50 members Of the
Minneapolis chamber of commerce will be
called upon for an additional $50, If a new
plan of the finance committee goes thru.
The new plan was announced this. morn
ing. 1t will come up for vote at 10 a.
m. next Friday. At present every mem
bership is assessed $40 annually to pay
the running expenses Of the board and
$50 to apply on a fund to pay off the
loan. 1t is proposed to let the $50 item
stand and increase the $40 item to $70
making the annual dues attached to every
membership 500 instead of $50. This new
arrangement is intended to continue in
force for four years.
The finances of the chamber are now
divided into two general classes, those
concerning the debt and those connected
with the expense Of operating the ex-
change.
The chamber property stands pledged
for 100000 bonds taken by the Minnesota
Loan and Trust company. Outstanding
notes amount to s163,5OO and other minor
items swell the total debt to $567 4O7. 95.
Interest on the bonds amounts to $22,500
annually, and other interest charges Of
various kinds aggregate s5,2S2.93. The
chamber has an income from rentals of
$2S, 251,84, and total income from every
source, including special assessments, Of
69,881.S9 and is in god condition finan-
cially. There is provision for a sinking
fund which in time will retire the bonds
and leave a clear equity in valuable
property attached to every membership.
Recently, however the expenses of
operating the exchange have exceeded the
income and the sinking fund has been
temporarily drawn upon to meet current
obligations.
The new plan is conceded to be good,
conservative financing and it is thought
that the members will indorse It.

HIGHER
State Board Of Equalization Nearly
Doubles Assessed Values Of
Watches and Clocks.
Sewing Machines Placed at So Up,
and Pianos Tuned Up
to $50.

Assessed valuation Of watches and
clocks in Minnesota was almost doubled
this morning. The state board Of equali-
zat1on fixed the minimum value at 81, and
brought all counties up to that figure or
over. Only twelve counties escaped an
increase. Hennepili, which returned an
average of SLIP, was not raised, neither
We're Ramsey and st. Louis. Some coun-
ties assessed watches ard clocks as low
as 81. The total valuation returned was
$60s,511, and the increases voted this
morning will bring this class of property
up to over 81, 100000
Sewing machines were fixed at valua-
ton OF rs and up, and nearly every county
IN the state was raised from 10 to % per
cent. The total returned value was $780,
coo, which was increased about 20 per
cent. ~ 49,
A minimum figure Of $50 was placed on
pianos, which average s77.60 on the re-
turns, ]. G. Lawrence Of Wabasha called
attention to the inequality between his
county and Olmsted on this item. Waba-
sha, with $4,000 population, returns BAT
pianos, while Olmsted only reports 1879
for a population Of $4,000. The values in
Olmsted were reported at $83.38, and the
board raised this Is per cent. Wabasha
valued pianos at $6136, and this was in
creased 80 1-3 per cent
Valuations Of watches and clocks and
sewing machines in Sleepy Eye were de-
cided to be excessive and were reduced
| 50 per cent.

SAYS HE'S The man
Josephine Osborne Recognizes a Har-
vest Hand as One Of Her
= Assailants.
The Man Is Taken Into Custody by

Osborne, a 15-year-old girl, the evening Of
Aug. 80. The girl IS positive that he Is
one of the men, but Rose says that he
was not in the city at that time.
Miss Osborne was on her way to work
this morning when she saw Rose stand
ing in front Of saloon at 124 Hennepin
avenue. She at once recognized him as
one Of her assailants. When the man saw
her, the girl says, he turned and entered
the saloon. She found Patrolman Mike
Lawrence who went with her and when
she pointed out Rose, took HIM to the
central station.
The girl is very positive In the indenti-
fication and he TALES with the descrip-
ton Of the larger man, as given by the
girl the night the assault occurred, except
that he does not wear a mustache. This,
of course, does not discredit the identi1ca-

IT POINTS TO SUICIDE
Case Of Two Girls Brings to Light
New Facts as to Charles
McLain.

Mary and Susie Schmidt IL and IA years
Old respectively, who live with their
mother near Second street and Second
avenue S, are having a hearing in the pro-
bate court to- day upon the application Of
Probation Officer Holt, that they be sent
to the state school at Owatonna.
Evidence has been introduced to show that
their environment is immoral and that
they have been conducting themselves i'm
properly.
The young man mentioned in court this
morning in connection with the girls case
is Charles McLain, whose body was found
ten days ago beneath a window of the
Minnesota house. There were many mys-
ferrous circumstances surrounding the
death Of McLain. It was believed that he
had met with foul play, but statement
said to have: been made few hours before
his death, while he was drinking with
some friends, that I'VE may as well drink
hearty, as some Of us will not be here
tomorrow" gave color to the suicide
theory. The county officials express the
belief, also, that McLain feared prosecu-
ton and, therefore, put himself out Of
the way.

new ENGLAND ALIVE
Manufacturers and Jobbers Of That
Section Favor Canadian Reel
procity, Says Eugene Hay.
Only a Few Interests, Such as the
Gloucester Fishermen, Are
Opposed to Movement.

Eugene Foss, leader Of the reciprocity
movement in New England, is expected
to visit Minneapolis within few days.
HeScomes on private business. Discussing
reciprocity at Detroit yesterday Mr. Foss
said:
New England, like the middle west, is
alive on this movement. 1t only needs
an occurrence like the assembling of
the Alaska boundary commission to bring
reciprocity to the front. am sure that
neither the government nor the sane
majority has been led astray by Mr..
Chamberlain's proposition.
He believes in reciprocity with the
colonies, and so do we; and whether or
not he succeeds in converting his own
countrymen- to his scheme, it is just as
important that the United States should
make a reciprocity treat with Canada as
it was before"
Yes said Eugene Hay this morning,
speaking Of the Bostonianfs expected
visit, Mr.. Foss, who is a wealthy manu-
facturer, is very influential among the
New England advocates of reciprocity.
1t is true, of course, that, tho certain in
terests like the Gloucester fishermen are
opposed to the movement, many other in
terests in New England especially the
manufacturers and the jobbers, are glad
to cooperate with the northwest in any
effort toward securing the treaty we de-
sire.
AT present the adoption Of reciprocity
measures appears to be dependent chiefly
upon the early adjournment of the Ca
madam parliament. So long as that body
is at work, Sir Wilfrid Laurier, the
premier, will take no action upon the re-
quest of Senator Fairbanks, American
chairman Of the joint high commission,
that the commission meet to consider rec
iprocity. But If parliament adjourns
within a month or so, Sir Wilfrid, think,
will comply with the senator's request.
Should the parliamentary session be pro-
longed, SO that the commissioners could
not be called to assemble before the first
of January, they will probably not meet
for many months, because they must end
their sessions before the presidential cam
paign gets active in this country Neither
Senator Fairbanks nor any other
of our representatives could afford to de-
vote his time to the commission during a
campaign that will absorb the attention
of every American interested in things
political"

A SWEEPING ORDER.
When Mayor Closes Main Street
Places He Will Close
Them All.
Notorious Resort on Main Street
NE. Will Have to Change
It's Character.

'Wren the order comes to close the dis
reputable houses on the East Side, 1t
will include every place on Main street,
northeast as we'll as southeast, said
Mayor j. G. Haynes this morning to a
delegation of first warders sent by a mass
meeting of citizens to urge the mayor to
close the notorious house on Main street
NE. The mayor also assured the COM
mittee that he would use every means
in his power to see that the place was
not run for immoral purposes. AS for
driving the proprietress away from Main
street, that was another question. The
fact that she owned the building and the
land on which it was located would en-
barrass the police in driving her away,
as it was in the eyes of the law, her
castle, and she could not be molested
unless she carried on an Illegal business.
Mayer Haynes commended the first
warders for the interest they take in pub
lie affairs, stating that the more the peo-
pie discussed public questions the more
valuable they would be as citizens.
The delegation was composed of Rob-
ert Graham, chairman, Senator John T..
| MCGOWAN, Representative George R..
Smith, Alderman Michael Gerber, Rev.
Father James O'Reilly Of the st. Anthony
of Padua parish, Rev. Father j. A. An
Dire of Notre Dame de LOurdes parish,
Rev. Father Timothy Voeth, st. Boniface
parish. w. Y. Chute. John Schroeder,
George W. Meyer, John I4afferty, John
VoS and John Hayes.
The speakers called the attention of
the mayor to the fact that this notorious
house stood at the very portals Of the
East Side and was Most conspicuous on
account Of its magnifcence. It was a
disgrace and a constant source Of pol
| luton. Thousands, old and young, were
compelled to pass it daily, as Main
street northeast was one Of the principal
thorofares of the East Side. 1t was a
common subject of conversation, even
among children of tender years, and the
constant Haunting of vice before the
young could only have demoralizing eff
| feet. Each member Of the delegation
| took the floor to urge the eradication of
| the evil and declared that the ward was
! wholly unanimous in demanding that the
| place be closed. - r.
