BABY WEATHER.

John D. Rockefeller Determines that
Chicago University Surroundings
Shall Be Purified.
New York Sun Special Service.


Chicago, July 16.-It is reported in GER
tain Hyde Park circles that John D. Rock
efeller is endeavoring to buy up the Hyde
Park I4eyee" in Lake avenue, between
Fifty-fourth and Fifty sixth streets. 1t
is easy for the university men to walk to
Lake avenue for stein after their
evening studies, and so alluring have been
the attractions OF the place. that gambling
and carousa1s have often resulted. One
Of the chief reasons for locating the uni
versity in Hyde Park was because it was
a prohibition district, with the exception
of the two blocks mentioned.
r Under the ordinances of the old village
of Hyde Park the village trustees were
given authority to close the saloons at
any time, but when Chicago annexed Hyde
Park, that right passed away and the sa-
Iloonkeepers are now enjoying a life tenure
SO long as the city will grant license.
which it has always been willing to do.
Hence there is but one way to close them
up-buy the property and GUST the ten
ants. T
President Harper of the Chicago uni
versity could not be seen to deny or af-
firm the story, but a, prominent real estate
man admitted to-day that he was apprais

ing, Washington.
Washington, D. c., July 1.-THE commit
tee appointed by the secretary of agriculture
to fix standards of purity of food products
has completed adjustments for nearly all
foods, but official PRONUNCIATION will not be-
made until about Oct. 1. By which time such
changes as are desired may be made and the
remainder of the list completed. It Is posi-
BILE there may be some changes in the stand
ards already agreed upon, put this is not
likely as they were fixed after consultation
with leading manufacturers and producers.
This action was taken by authority OF con-
gress, which last year inserted a paragraph
in the agricultural appropriation bill pro-
viding that the secretary, in collaboration
ists and such other experts as he deemed
necessary, should establish standards of
purity for food products and determine what
are regarded as authorizations therein, for the
guidance of the various states and courts of
Justice. Following are the standards OF
purity for milk and butter products, as fixed
by the committee:
than ,43.257 per cent Of milk fat and S.25 per
cent of solids not fat, and which has an
ecidty equal to not more than 2 per cent Of
Tactic acid. Standard condensed milk con-
tai1ls at least 36 per cent of milk solids, of
which not less than one-fourth is milk fat
and not more than so per cent of the total
fat or butter fat. Standard milk fat or but
ter fat has Reichert Meissl number not less
than "a and specific gravity not less than
.905 40 degrees).
Standard cream contains not less than Is
per cent of milk fat.

Fist Fight Comes
Later.

chicago, July 16.-Desperate fighting
between the police and the strikers of
the Kellogg Switchboard company oc-
CURED yesterday afternoon and evening,
when the company attempted to send
freight to some of the railroad depots.
In one instance the police opened fire
with, reyolvers. Altho the fusilade was
continued for several minutes nobody was
injured. Later there was a fight in which
no, revolvers were used and the police
beat down number of men, some of
whom were left in the street until their
friends came back to pick them up.
The first fight occurred when truck
loaded with freight, escorted by police
and bound for the Burlington depot was
passing an unfinished building at Harrt-
son and Peoria streets. The police were
tendeavoring to clear the street when the
workmen on the unfinished building
showered them with bricks The officers
at once drew their revolvers and fired
lat. the workmen, who hastily fled. The
police kept UP their fire thru the windows
and drove nearly all the workmen from
the place.
I The second fight occurred when the
police we're escorting wagon load or
freight to the warehouse of the Terminal
I Transfer company.
The climax came at Congress street and
Ogden avenue when private Waterman
fired at one Of the mob. The shot went
wild, but it infiamed the mob and with
shouts and yells they charged the police.
The latter were waiting for the crowd,
and when 1t arrived the officers went at
1t with fists and clubs. The patrolmen
were greatly outnumbered, but they
fought well together, and in less than
three minutes every member of the mob
who could use his feet was doing so to
the best of his ability. Fully dozen

In the street where they had been
knocked by the clubs Of the officers. Some
were loaded into the wagon and taken to
the police station, as were number who
were not quick enough In retreat. About
twenty arrests were made.

1t contains a most attractively arranged
series of maps for twin city trips and in
addition offers the tourist visitor some
exceedingly useful and well-condensed
general information. Z
Naturally, the chief charm Of the work
lies in the little trips which are outlined
in such a way that a person wholly un-
familiar with the geography Of Mime
apolis or st. Paul is enabled to go d.
rectly to all the chief points of interest
with absolutely no loss Of time. The
trips described are: Back and forth be-

In addition to the maps Of special trips,
there are smaller charts showing the
business district Of each city with all i'm
portant business buildings clearly indi-
Gated and a large two-page map showing

Fiscal Year.
Increase Of $18,0oo,0 Quar-.

Special to The" journal.

Special to The journal.
New York, July 16.-The gross earn
ings Of the Northern Securities roads for
the year ending June 80 are s151, 544, 900,
an increase of s1s,449.ooO for the year.
James J. Hill expressed the liveliest salts
faction over the showing the roads had
made. He said, however, he had expected
the years report to be Of this character
and remarked that results justified his
prediction, made several months ago, that
complete returns for the year would show
earnings for three companies of at least
$3.50, 100000.
Last year the three companies earned
i$141, 200, of which sE7.150, 900 was taken
up in operating expenses and $29, 050, 900
in fixed charges, leaving SURPRISES appli-
cable to dividends of $28, 100000. Last
year three roads had other income in
excess Of So, 100000, and the earnings given
for this year represent income from oper-
alton only. It is probable that the item
Of other income will show substantial
increase for the year just closed.
The year Is all the more renlarka BILE
from the fact that it follows a year of
rapidly increasing tonnage and earnings.
The gross earnings for the year ended
June 80, 1902, were $2O,0O0.0O0 in excess of
those Of the year before. The increase in
surplus after payment of fixed charges
last year was only a little less than $780,
900, 900: The earnings for the year 1900
1901 were amply sufficient to enable the
company to pay 4 per cent dividends upon
outstanding stock.
1t is apparent, therefore, that the
steadily increasing earnings of the last
two years place the company in re-
markedly strong position, and, barring
legal difficulties, it, is scarcely. conceiv-
able that the stock of the giant merger
would cease to pay as much as per
cent, even under waning business condi-
lions in the territory Of the railroads
controlled. The directors Of the securi-
ties company have declared dividend
Of 1B per cent; payable Aug. g. transfer
books to be closed July % and reopened
Aug. 4.
The first dividend paid on Northern Sc
curities was per cent, Feb 1, 1902. This
amount was paid each quarter until Feb
ruary, 1903,s when 1B per cent was paid.
The dividend just declared will, there
fore, be- the seventh quarterly dividend
on the stock and the third one at the rate
Of 1h per cent. The dividend on North
ern Pacific stock will be announced the
last few days. of this. month, and it is
expected the rate will be. ~ per cent
the same as declared for the last previ-
Gus quarter It is possible an extra divi-
dend may be declared at this time, but
this is regarded doubtful.
