HE HAS A HOODOO
Minneapolis Boy Pursued by
III Luck.

Willie Whalen. thirteen year-old
youth. Of Minneapolis. has fallen heir
to the hoodoo encountered by John
Fitzgerald. who a month ago died after
a series of accidents. any one Of which
would have killed the average man.
Fitzgerald attributed his hard luck
to the birth Of twins, and following the
first inffiction of this kind he fell from
a roof and encountered a long series
of accidents, and then, following the
second birth of twins. the father met
with an accident that terminated his
career.
Willie Whalen appears to have in
herited the i'll luck of Fitzgerald. With
in the past two years the boy has had
"a number of accidents His first mis-
hap was from the desire to learn to
ride bicycle. One day he caught the
toes of his bare feet In the sprocket
chain and when the doctor was through
with him he was minus three toes of his
left foot. Shortly thereafter, while at
tempting to board a. moving train.
Willie fell under the wheels and lost
the toes Of his other foot, all of them
having to be amputated.
The third accident which happened
to the boy occurred last summer, when
"a cartridge, exploding in his hand, de-
istroyed the sight of his right eye And
then one morning recently he caught
his right hand in cutting machine and
Is now minus the little finger of that
hand.

COUNTY WON'T HELP
BUILD HOSPITAL
Commissioners Say the Deten-
stIon Hospital Is Purely a
City Affair.

If a detention hospital is to be built,
the city will have to build it without
the assistance of the county.
that it is their duty to assist in the
erection of a new detention hospital,
and the committee recently named to
act with committees from the council
and Commercial club, will, in all prob
ability, report that the county is un-
willing to assist in the erection of the
proposed new buildings.
The county commissioners do not
figure that it is the duty of the county
to erect a detention hospital, and it is
the opinion of the members of the
county board that the county should
not be compelled to pay any part of the
cost of the construction of the new
hospital, either proposed by Health
Commissioner Ohage, who recommends
detached cottages, or the last grand
jury. whose recommendations call for
the construction Of suitable hospital
building.
The county commissioners are unit
of a new smallpox hispital on the river
front at Pigseye, and they are not in
clined to spend any of the county's
money on the Improvement of the pres
ent hospital.
aDr. Ohage favors the erection Of
small cottages, which, he says, can be
built at an expense of $4,000. The
county commissioners say the deten-
ton hospital Is a city affair and the
county has nothing to do with it. y

Hebrew Groeers Say Sunday Is
Not Their Sabbath.

Five grocers of the Jewish national
ity were in the police court yesterday
charged with violating the Sunday clos
ing law. Three of the grocers have
stores on the same street and within a
short distance of each other. The COM
plants against them are made by Carl
Oxman, a grocer at 1873 Fairfield ave-
nue., and the three whom he charges
with violating the law keep stores on
the same street. They are Samuel
Roisner, 1874 East, Fairfield; Rachael
Rosenblum. 240. and Henry ComonoM,
228 East Fairfield. Charles c. Levy and
Jacob I. Levy proprietors of a grocery
store on RiceII near Rondo, were ar
rested on the Same charge. The five
cases were continued one week. 90 ~
The defendants say they observe Sat-
urday as theireSabbath and should not
be required to close two days each week.
There is no exemption in the present
Sunday closing law on account of re-
ligious observance Of other days, but
an exception was made in an older law
allowing those who observe other days
as the Sabbath to keep open on Sunday
provided they. do,not disturb any other

METHODISTS MEET
Conference Is Being Held in
Redwood Falls.

The forty ninth session Of the Min
nesota annual conference of the Meth
odist church opened in Redwood Falls
yesterday and will continue during the
week. The conference will elect eight
delegates, four from the ministry and
four laymen to represent the confer
ence at the general conference of the
Methodist church, which will be held in
Los Angeles in May next.
The delegation from this city, con-
sisting of representatives from each of
the fourteen English churches in the
city, are in attendance and will intro
duce certain measures intended to
provision made for superannuated min
listers.
A committee of local ministers was
appointed some time ago to draw up
plans for this purpose, and it has been
decided to advocate a plan for the reg
ular assessment of those ministers who
are still in active work for the fund in
stead of relying, as at present, on the
voluntary contributions of congrega-
tions, thus insuring a fixed income for
the fund.
Bishop Charles H. Fowler, of Buffalo,
presides over the conference. Bishop
Fowler was formerly president of
Northwestern university. At the same
time that this conference is going on,
the conference of Northern Minnesota,
comprising that portion of the state
which lies north of Minneapolis and
including that city, is being held in
Duluth. where practically the same
question will be discussed.

Do NOT TELL TRUTH
IN THE DOG CENSUS
Only SO of the So License Kind Are Re-
es,r-a-.. ported. i5

Either st. Paul is sadly deficient in
dogs of the female gender or their own
ers in moment of forgetfulness fail
to declare. the sex when they procure
tags from the city clerks office This
is the way one city official accounts
for the fact that up to date only thirty
eight female dog licenses have been is
sued.
So far this year the owners of dogs to
the number of 1,148 have taken out the
required license, but only SO of the
number have been willing to declare
that their canine was of the female
sex. and forked over the IS which such
declaration carries with it. All the
others were male bow-wows and their
owners parted with 81 each for the
privilege Of keeping them.
If the 50 difference is such an i'm
pediment to an honest declaration, one
official suggests that the figure for all
dogs be made 81, or if the city is really
anxious to know how many female dogs
1t harbors that the prices be reversed.
81 for female and So for male.

boy is DROWNED
At SOUTH PARK
Trlests Swim Ashore From Cap
sized Canoe, but the Cur
rent Overcomes Him.


James Mcdonald, sixteen-year-old
son of Michael Mcdonald, of South
Park, was drowned in the Mississippi
river yesterday afternoon shortly be-
fore o'clock as a result of the over
turning of canoe in which he and
Elmer Robinson, seventeen years old,
had been riding. The Robinson boy had
narrow escape.
The boys set out together from South
Park about 5:45 yesterday afternoon,
bound for a government light on the
river bank, which the Robinson boy
was employed to tend. They had been
hunting together on the river during
the afternoon, but stopped at the land
ing at the Park to get supplies for the
light.
Boat Capsized by Current.
They had not gone more than eighty
rods up stream before the river, which
is unusually high, became rough, and
the canoe began to ship water. The
boys, however, were undaunted, and
proceeded on their way till the boat,
caught In swift current, tipped over
and capsized.
Mcdonald, who was good swimmer,
struck out for the river bank, but as
the water Is high and as the bank is
covered with thick growth of will
lows, he was unable to effect landing.
He was seen by his companion Strug-
Cling about ten feet from the bank,
when he sank for the last time.
Robinson wanted his partner saved
and chung to the boat and drifted down
the stream, calling loudly for help. AS
he drifted past the dwelling of a fish,
erman named Johnson, who lives in a
house boat, the fisherman, attracted by
the cries, put out in a boat to go to
his rescue. When Johnson reached the
boy he chung to the canoe, though fast
growing faint, and cried to his rescuer:
Let me go! My partner is drown
ing up the river. Go and save him!"
Seeing that Robinson's strength was
failing, Johnson stopped to take him
into the boat before going to the res
cue of Mcdonald. When Johnson pull
ed up the stream nothing was to be
seen of Mcdonald.
James Mcdonald was employed in a
packing house at South ST. Paul, and
yesterday afternoon secured leave of
absence to go hunting. He is survived
by his parents, two brothers and two
sisters His father, Michael Mcdonald,
is section foreman of the Great West
ern.o., Robinson's father is employed at
the packing house.
The body Of the drowned boy has not
been recovered.
