MANY THIEVES HERE
State Fair Attracts a Large Number
of Shady Operators to
Town.
Minneapolis Residents Have SUI.
fered More Than the Wis
itors So Far.

Thieves and pickpockets flooding
Minneapolis on account of the state fair
and many complaints are being received
at police headquarters in regard to their
work. One. of the features of the COM
plants is that a majority of the victims
are residents Of the two cities, the farm
ers and visitors from afar escaping the
marauders.
An unusual thing in connection with the
work of the thieves is that large num-
Der of watches are being stolen. In for
mer years thieves liked nothing better
than to get a chance to "cop a clock
they called it, but watches have become
SO cheap and it Is SO hard to dispose of
them and avoid detection that they have
almost abandoned this kind of plumber.
Those working in the city at the present
time seem to have decided to take their
chances with time pieces and several
have been reported stolen.
Among those who have reported stolen
watches are H. H. Hanson, 1911 Port
land avenue; ]. Grosbuch, 124 Hennepin
avenue. and Antoine Stevenson, 611h
Seventeenth avenue S. All of these were
stolen from the person while the owner
was in the midst of a crowd.
AS the result Of the work Of pickpock-
cts. A. Benhorn, 2204 Humboldt avenue
8, lost his purse and 81; Rasmus Hanson,
of Austin, Mimi, lost $50 while John
Kelly, Of st. Paul, was robbed in an
and lost his overcoat and $40 in cash. Miss
Erickson, 806 Seventh avenue 9, had $40
stolen from her room by a sneak thief.
| Taking advantage of the fact that many
persons are away from home attending
the fair, sneak thieves are at work in the
city. A man living on Jefferson street
NE, reported that some one entered his
house and stole three 500 bills from the
! pocket of a vest which was hanging
in his closet. He has no clue to the burg
lar The residence of G. p. Derickson, So
! Highland avenue, was also entered last
night but little was secured. At an
other place, 400 Fourth street S, the
| thieves carried out trunk which con-
tanned 500 worth Of clothing. The trunk
was found In the weeds near the Cham
! Der Of Commerce. The owner, Miss e. w.
| Anderson, says that nothing was taken
from the trunk.
The only swindling game that has been
reported to the police was that by which
Mrs. Ella Bartlett, Of Omaha, Neb., who is
stopping at the Window hotel on the east
side, lost her trunk. She gave an express
man her trunk check. The man called al
the Milwaukee depot, got the trunk and
disappeared Officers are looking for the
expressman and the trunk.
Owing to the fact that the Minneapolis
police force Is too small numerically and
that banks, railroads and business mer
have called upon the chief of police fol
protection 1t has been necessary to cal
in number of men from the outer dis
tricts to give adequate protection to the
crowded districts. This means that the
outer districts will not have as good pro
lection as they have ordinarily and The
precaution against sneak thieves. Houses
should not be left unguarded, or at leas
they should be carefully locked befor,

KEEP ROILROADS BUSY.
Big Homeseekers' Movement Taxes Fa-
cilities of the Western Lines.

Even at this early period of the sea-
son all indications promise a record
breaking business in the movement of
homeseekers toward the West. Both
the Great Northern and Northern Pa
cific have found 1t necessary to make
extra provision for this class of travel,
and the 500 has had all the business
it could conveniently handle.
The Great Northern train in the
morning went out in two sections, car
rying more than 100 homeseekers to
Devils Lake and Williston, and 1t was
necessary to run special train to the
coast to accommodate those who were
brought in by the Chicago lines from
Illinois, Ohio, Indiana and the other
central southern states. This train,
leaving at 4:45 in the afternoon, car
ried twelve coaches of men, women
and children bound for Williston and
Devils Lake. 1t was followed by a
freight train fully as large. The party
was in charge of Max Bass, general
immigration agent of the Great North
ern.
Both of the Northern Pacific trains
went out in sections, and both We're
crowded with homeseekers. 1t is COP
serVattVely estimated that $500 home
seekers passed through st. Paul Tues
day and yesterday.

SAYS UNION LEADERS
BROUGHT ABOUT
TROUBLE
Counsel for the Wabash De-
clares That the Grievance
Against That Company
Lies With the Organiza-
tons and Not the Com
Pany's Employees.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, March 1S.-Affi-
davits were furnished and arguments
commenced late this afternoon In the
Wabash injunction suit.
Col Wells H. Blodgett, the leading
counsel for the railroad, was the hrSt
to address the court, and after he had
spoken for an hour an adjournment
was taken until tomorrow morning.
In opening his argument, Col. Blod-
gett declared
Our contention is that the employees
of the Wabash road are not dissatisfied,
that no alleged grievances originated
with them, but with the defendants
in this case
The speaker then read In full the
charges made against the officers and
members of the two labor organizations
in the original bill of complaint, en-
phasizing the points he expected to
prove.
Col Blodgett read numerous extracts
from the record which, he asserted,
showed that the two organizations
working together, demanded recognl-
ton and threatened trouble in case 1t
was denied them.
I'VE claim" he said, that the griev-
ances said to exist on the Wabash road
originated with the defendants in this
case and not with any of the employees
-
this l point out that there is not In
any of the reports of the meetings of
their grievance committee brought here
by the defendants a single statement
to show that any of these so-called
grievances were ever discussed by the
committee. These grievances must
have originated somewhere, and we
claim that the proceedings of the
grievance committee show that they
accordance
demands of the Western association of
the general committees of these two
organizations as a foundation for Of
fetal recognition of their union"
AT this point in Col. Blodgett's ar
gument court adjourned until tomor-
row.
Among the affidavits submitted by
the railroad company today were those
of John w. Schrader, who said that
he was a member of the Brother
hood of Railway Trainmen, that he
was personally acquainted with Grand
Master MOrrissey, and declared that he
had heard Grand Master MOrrissey
threaten to bring about a general tie
up of all the Gould lines unless their
organization was officially recognized
by the Wabash road. Robert ]. Robin
son and c. w. Smith gave similar
testimony concerning Mr.. Morrissey.
Grand Master Hannahan, of the fire
men, and Vice Grand Master Lee, of
the trainmen, saying that they had
made statements to the effect that they
would tie up the road and cripple it's
business if their demands We're not
granted.
In rebuttaI, Messrs. Morrissey,
Mammalian and Lee offered affidavits of
energetic denial. They declare the af-
fidavits charging them with uttering
threats to tie up the road or injure it's
business were false in every particular
and declared they had never before
heard of the men who made them.

Elkins Law and Party Rates.

CHICAGO, March 1S,-The Western
Passenger association lines made a lit
tie more progress today, in determining
what the Elkins law means. They
were, however, unable to agree upon
the recommendations of the. meeting
regarding party rates. The three lines
which gave notice that they would
make party rates available to everyone
refused to withdraw from the position
and the other lines determined to meet
the rates in competitive territory. 1t
was decided to abolish rates for en-
ployes to summer and tourist hotels.
With these exceptions the recommen-
dations made by the mass meeting
Were concurred in.

WILL SEARCH FoR-EGAN.
Hunt for the Missing Man Soon to Be
Resumed.


Resumed.
Arrangements are now being made
to resume the search for the body of
b. F. Egan, division superintendent of
the Great Northern, who was lost in
the woods near Lake Five in Montana,
last November and was presumably
frozen TO death. Mr.. Egan, 1t will be
remembered, was with a hunting party
and became separated from his friends.
He was superintendent of the Breck-
inridge division Of the Great North
ern and his associates posted a reward
for the recovery of mis- body to which
the company later added a similar
amount The sum subscribed by the
employees has already been turned over
to Mrs. Egan, but the company's re-
ward still stands. A party of residents
of the section in which Mr.. Egan dis
appeared has been organized in the
hope of earning this reward The
search will be begun as soon as the snow
has melted to about the depth at which
1t was when Mr.. Egan was lost.
