CLEAN UP OTHER END.
Northeast Minneapolis Residents
Want Northeast Main Street
Houses Closed.
Committee Will Call on Mayor
Haynes to Present the
Case Friday.

Northeast Minneapolis does not intend
to be lost sight Of in the coming muni-
cipal housecleaning and beautifying. The
first ward has long had an energetic COM
mittee at work with power to act in se-
curing the removal Of the house of i'll
fame ON Main street NE, and the parking
Of the river front from Central avenue to
Third avenue NE.
Senator j. T. McGoan as chairman
has called the northeast committee to
meet Friday at 1890 a. M, at the office
Of Mayor J. c.. Haynes, to present the
resolutions adopted by the citizens of
Northeast Minneapolis anent the presence
Of places Of evil repute near their homes.
Senator MCGOWAN says that the north
east section will not rest until it secures
all that it asks.
The people insist that it will be an act
akin to political suicide for the admin
istration to clean out the dives on Main
street southeast and leave the largest and
most notorious house Of i'll fame in the
city unmolested on Main street NE. This
fact will probably be vividly impressed on
the mind Of Mayor Haynes when the dele
cation from the first ward comes into his
presence.

LIBRARY AT CITY HALL
Library Board Holds a Meeting to
| liz Consider Plan-Location Re-
garded as Excellent.


A meeting of the library board was
called for this afternoon to consider the
matter Of locating a, branch library and
reading-roon in the new city hall. 1t
appears that@the board Of courthouse and
city hall commissioners has gone ahead
with plans to- make an appropriation of
$25, 600 for a library ard reading room
without ascertaining the views Of the
librarian or the members Of the board
If the board. is expected to supply the
books and magazines for the reading
room and to bear she expense Of attend
ants, the members wish to know it, and
the building committee has been in
structed to find out and report day.
: The location is considered excellent, be-
ing convenient to the three largest office
buildings In the city-the Chamber OF
Commerce. the Guaranty building and the
New York Life building. School teachers
go to the building by the hundred every
week and there are several hundred en-
pIoyed at the building ..st.a

HE WASN'T DRUGGED
Man Found in Dazed Condition in
Chemical Laboratory at the
University.
Physicians at the City Hospital Find
He Is Suffering From De-
lirium Tremens.

Excitement was caused at the univers-
ity this morning by the discovery In the
distilling room Of the chemical labora-
tory Of man who was supposed to have
been drugged. The man was taken to
the oity hospital where it was found that
he was suffering from delirium tremens,
caused by an over er-indulgence In pure al
cohol.
The janitor unlocked the door shortly
after o'clock and the man must have
entered at that time. He made his way
to the distilling room, In the attic, and
was found there by tho janitor. He
seemed dazed and could not tell anything
about himself. AS he was well dressed,
Patronan Odin Void thought he had
been drugged and at once called for the
patrol wagon.
After the hospital physicians had sue
ceeded in reviving him, the man said
that his name was August Olson and
that he" lived at Plymouth avenue and
Third street The hospital attendants
could see no reason for holding him and
he was discharged.
Olson at once went back to the uni
versity, and 90 Officer Wold locked him UP
at the South Side police station for
drunkenness.

TIMBER CASE RULING
One of Dead and Down" Cases Set
tied by Circuit Court Of
-. Appeals.
Judge Lochren's Definition of Dead
and Down Apparently
Upheld.

A. Y. Merrill, eattorney for West &
Bonness In one Of the famous dead and
down timber cases which have been tried
during the last two years in the federal
from Denver that the United States cir
cult court Of appeals has affirmed the
judgment Of the United States circuit
court at Minneapolis without costs to
either party. :7..... ~
Whe nthe case was on trial a year ago
last March the jury brought in verdict
for the defendants, West & Bonness.
Judge Lochren refused a new trial and
the government appealed.
This suit was one Of the many brought
by the government for violation Of GER
tain provisions Of the dead and-doWn tim
Der act Of 1897, affecting the sale Of tim
Der on the Indian reservations Two sales
took place, one in 1898 and one in. 1901.
Under the provisions the lumbermen were
allowed to take the dead and down tim
Der and a certain amount Of green tim
Der for boom sticks and for the building
Of .roadways y. - s~.r..
sc The. suit in the Bonness case was for
damages for green timber taken in excess
of the government allowance. Government
inspect Joseph r. .Farr was sent. up to
look over the cut and his testimony, with
that of others, went to show that such
excess had been cut. The whole trial
hinged on the definition Of green timber.
The government held that timber with
running sap or with green boughs at
tached was green. At this Judge LocI-
rem ruled that a dead tree was one SO
vitality injured that it had ceased to in
crease in value as a timber tree and one
that a prudent land owner would cut to
save as timber.
The bare affrma ton by the higher court
Is regarded as approval Of Judge Looh-
ren's definition and as exoneradng West &
Bonness from charge of any wrongful
act and as having a bearing on q similar
case Of the United States against the
Commo monwealth Lumber company

THE FORWARD MOVEMENT"
Epworth Leaguers to Try New Plan
of Fighting Saloons.

The Minneapolis District Union Of Ep-
worth leagues held it's regular meeting
at North M. E. church last evening, and
listened to reports from the delegates who
attended the international convention Of
the society at Detroit. G. X. Saue, Miss
Clara Burns, Miss Marion A. Cole, Rev. A.
A. Graves, and G. R. Ellis were the speak
ers Touching the new Forward Move
ment" of the league, which looks toward
immediate and effective effort against the
saloon, the following resolutions were
adopted unanimously:
The Minneapolis District Union OF the Ep-
worth Leagues In regular session assembled,
recognizing the unspeakable evils Of the licensed
liquor traffic and the ineffect1veness Of denun-
Citations, hereby
Resolves, That 1t halls with pleasure the new
forward movement against the baneful business; !;
That it heartily seconds the brave words Of
Christian manliness OF the Epworth Herald and
That it here and enlists In an army to
fight this evil BY moral suasion, by education,
and by refusing to support political parties or
candidates committed to the license policy, or
which refuse to put themselves squarely on rec
ord in an attitude of open and aggressive hostil-
ity to the saloon, and pledging active support
Of and cooperation with, such parties and can
didates as are in harmony with the utterances OF
the church.

TREAT WEST FAIRLY
Local Coal Dealers Say Eastern Con-
sumers Are Worse Off Than
Those Here.
Regular Monthly Advance in Prices
Less Of Hardship Than
- spasmodic Jumps.

Eastern visitors to the oity during the
fair week wonder at the monthly advance
in hard coal prices until in September
the charge is $S.75 a ton, at which it re-
mains. They are unfamiliar with this
system in the east, and rather urge that
the woolly west is being buncoed because
In the east coal sells the year around
at the same price.
A coal dealer of Minneapolis, who does
claim absolute knowledge Of the situation,
however, says in the first place that coal
does not remain at the same price the
year thru in the east; and that anthracite
Is subject to advances as much as in the
west. He goes farther, and shows what
he believes to be the superior condition
Of the consumers in the west. 80.
/ He said: I"As I understand It,, the coal
In the west Is handled by the coal oper-
ators, the miners. In the east it Is sold
to consumers by actual owners of. coal,
who, buy it by the cargo. So you. can
see that while prices in the west are un-
der control Of the operators and go up
monthly on a fixed schedule in the east
prices are wholly in control of the coal
wholesalers, who may make the same
regular monthly advances, or bunch them
whenever they please, I think it Will be
found that occasionally the prices there
so up as much as so cents at one time.
You may be assured that the regular
advance Is charged the eastern wholesal-
ers and that they In turn get 1t from
the consumers but at q different grada-
tton Of increase. ..-."-.I.0. !.
Under the system in vogue here the
Minneapolis man knows exactly when to
buy coal at a low price and precisely
what increase he will have to pay each
month. It, was owing to the fact that
operators controlled the prices here that
in the twin cities the coal offered by the
regular coal companies never went above
$40 last winter while scalpers in the west
and the regular dealers in the east charged
$40 ton, or whatever they pleased

yertised as not being made by the trust,
thereby itself indulging In unfair competi-

Washington, Sept. 9-The bureau Of
Immigration is awaiting with interest the
result Of a hearing in connection with
sixteen Cinnamon who are in transit thru
Canada to Vancouver, in custody Of the
Canadian Pacific railway company, and
who were released from such custody on
writs Of habeas corpus. The case is

Canadian Pacific in Canada, whereby all
Chinese destined to the United States are
brought in bond from Vancouver and
turned over to the United States officers
