Butter Makers Hunting for Vegetable
Colors to Replace the Coal Tar

Sends Out Samples.


Minnesota butter makers are pre-

ter colors on Jan. 1, in obedience to
the ruling of Dairy Commissioner Nc
Connell but they are having great
difficulty in finding vegetable article
that will fill the bill. They have been
eSperim With vegetable colors,
and complain to Mr.. Mcconnell that
the kinds they have tested contain oil
which give the butter an inferior
flavor.
1T is still my intention to enforce
the ruling after Jan. ], - said Mr.. Nc
Connell this morning, ''but if the but
ter makers are not able to get what
they want to take the place of the
coal tar colors, it may be necessary
to give them a little more time. I
have some brands of color that have
been tested, and am sending them out
to the creameries to try. 1 feel sure
they will prove satisfactory, but they
have to be used more freely than the
coal tar colors and It may take some
time to get used to them.'

Throw up your hands or I'll shoot"
These words, uttered in a gruff
voice, startled Miss Helen Anderson,
a young woman employed by Moren,
the tailor, last night as she was walk
ing along Portland avenue near Sew
enteenth street. Looking in the direc-
ton from which the wordsicame, Miss
Anderson saw a young man with a
mask over his face and a large sized
revolver in his hand which he was
pointing directly at her head. She
lost no time in obeying; and a mo-

purse containing. 10 cents.
Miss Anderson, was on her way from

FUNK BUGAB00
MAKES EN- WORK
WHY JUNIOR ENGINEERS ARE,
HUSTLING IN VACATION.
The Laboratories and Classrooms Are
Too Small and Members of the Glass
Have Had Difficulty in Keeping Up
in Their Work.

The past week has been a strenuous
one among the students in the sopho-
more and junior engineering classes
students are enjoying an eighteen
days vacation, the junior engineers
are putting in from 6 to 10 hours a day
in the machine shop, foundry and
raughting-rooms.
The cause for the display Of such
unusual industry at this season is the
report which emanated from the
faculty of the engineering college to
the effect that about SO per cent of
the class would be "f1unked'' at the
coming examination in January. This
has caused CONSERVATION among the
embryo engineers and they are all
hustling.
Such an unusual condition at this
time is due to the fact that there are
nearly a hundred students in the class
and not more than forty students can
be properly cared for in the senior
laboratories and classrooms. This
condition necessitates the turning back
of nearly half of the present Junior
class. AS the sophomore class is also
very large, a similar congestion is due
when they become Juniors next year.
Dean Jones Of the engineering de-
partment has informed nearly SO per
cent Of his physics class that it would
be advantageous for them to drop that
study and apply their energies to their
other work. This notification is, of
course, only another way Of informing
the student that he is going to
be ''f1unked.'' Following out the
process Of exclusion, another in
structor in the engineering depart
ment, in a recent examination,
..f1unked' 80 per cent Of the class.
The crowded condition Of affairs can
can be remedied only by a new me-
chanical arts building or an addition
to the present structure, which is
manifestly inadequate for the needs of
the department.

IONKA TRAINS
IN WINTER
RAILWAY COMMISSION HEARING
FAVORABLE EVIDENCE.
Lake Residents Who Live at Minne-
tonka the Year Thru Seek Winter
Service Like That of Summer
Question Important to the Com
mission and Involves Enlarged
Powers.

The agitation for all winter service
between Minneapolis and Lake Min
netonka points came to a head this
morning when G. f. Staples and other
members of the state railroad and
warehouse commission met in the Of
flee of J. N. Barncard, in the Flour
Exchange, to take testimony in the
matter. Albert E. Clarke, general at
torney for the minneapolis &s st. Louis
railway, appeared for his company
and John F. MCGEE represented the
petitioners. Arguments will be sub
mitted in writing. It will be several
weeks before decision is announced.
The question involves the right of
the commission to order a railroad
company to give service not before
granted by it. Aside from this the
reasonableness Of the demand is to be
considered.
So many lake residents now live in
the country the year around that there
is an increasing demand for winter
service on the same schedule as that
Of summer. Should the commission
decide to order this and the right to
do so pass unquestioned, the morning
train on the Minneapolis and st. Louis
now leaving Excelsior at 1920, would
first back to Tonka Bay.
Such a service would probably mean
more building around the lake.

FOUGHT DOWN
MOTHER LOVE
HANNA DEAN DESERTS BABE AT
CRITTENToN HOME.
Her Infatuation for Travelling Man
Appears to Have Overcome Every
Other Instinct and She Is Supposed
to Have Gone With Him.

Because of her supposed infatuation
for a man named Olson, Hanna M.
Dean deserted her weeks old babe
at the Florence Crittenton home after
midnight last night. The inmates had
retired for the night after the, Christ
mas festivities, and; without providing
in any way for her child, the woman
quietly left the home. -,
Olson, who claimed to be a travel
ing man, called at the Crittenton
home yesterday forenoon and tried to
get the Dean woman to go away with
him. He seemed much concerned
over the child and thruout his stay
acted in a suspicious mariner. The
authorities, however, refused to allow
the woman to go, and Olson went
away much disappointed.
They had evidently planned to meet
later in the day, for the woman left
at the first opportunity. She took all
her heavy wraps, and the police think
she has left the city.
