WILSON PLAYS WITH FIRE
HOME FOR SOLDIERS WIVES
House Bill Extends Benefits
of Soldiers Home to Wom-
en- by Providing for Mar
ried Quarters and Widows
Dormitory at Minnehaha
Institution.

Extension Of the benefits Of the state
soldiers home to the wives and widows
of ex-soldiers, sailors and marines is
the object of a bill introduced in the
house yesterday by the committee on
soldiers home.
Vent1On of separation of husband and
wife in cases of INDECENT veterans COM
PEELED to avail themselves of the priv
ileges Of the state home Quarters for
married inmates are to be erected and
dormitories for widows.
Preserve Family Ties.
The bill provides for an appropria-
ton Of $4,000 for the erection of cot
tages to be used as homes for mar
ried inmates and widows dormftories.
The wives of ex-soldiers, sailors or
marines may be admitted to the institu-
ton If they have been the wives Of
such soldier, sailor or marine for fif-
teen years, and have attained the age
of forty-five years.
The idea of the married quarters is
that husband and wife need not be
separated even as inmates of the home.
The bill further provides that upon
the death of the husband the widow
may be removed to the widows dormi-
tory to make room in the home for
other married inmates
Another feature Of the bill is the
provision setting aside lands on which
the ladies' auXiliaries of the sevSSal
veterans associations may erect build
ings for the execution of similar char

SAVE THE ELK IN
YELLOWSTONE PARK
Supt, Anderson and New
Workers Put Up for
Wild Hay.

NEW YORK, Feb. 17.-Steps were
taken today to save 10000 starving elk
on the Jeton- Yellowstone reserves in
Wyoming. Snow seven feet deep COW
ers their feeding ground, and the tenn
peratures as low as 40 below zero have
added to their sufferings. News of the
critical condition Of the elk herds
reached here today, coming from the
chief Of the United States rangers to
A. A. Anderson, special superintendent
of the Jeton- Yellowstone reserves, who
spends his winters in New York
Mr.. Anderson ordered that a tempo
rary supply Of wild hay at his own
expense be distributed as soon as pos
sible at convenient points by the force
of thirty rangers. He then proposed
that $1,000 to $4,000 be raised here
by subscription to purchase more wild
hay, and it is believed that prominent
persons will support the plan.

The people want them, and that is

Amendments to the ordinance may
appear at the next meeting. In fact,
two were under cover last night, but
their passage is largely probIematica1
just now. The service is largely ex-
perimental, and the advocates want 1t
tested on all lines.
The street car officials are credited
with the statement that while they
will obey the ordinance, they will do
so only so far as they think traffic
demands it.
Mayor Smith, while declining to pos
itively commit himself, has plainly in
dicated that he would sign the ord1-
nance If it ever reached him. It will
be in his hands today.

YOUNGER IN THE

Buckskin Bill Wild
West Show.
Special to The Globe.


KANSAS CITY. MO. Feb. II
Coleman Younger the reformed BAN
dit, who by permission Of the author
tiles of the state of Minnesota has
returned to his old home in Jackson
county, Mo-, after an absence of TWEEN
ty-seven years, today at the Midland
hotel in this city formed a theatrical
company with his famous old-time
bandit companion, Frank James The
company purchased by them was the
"Buckskin Bill Wild West Show" The
packer of the show and one of the
partners is Wally Hoffman, a wealthy
brewer of Chicago. The amount Of
money put into the concern is 5000,
and 1t is said that Frank James re-
fused to sign the contract until he saw
the money paid to H. E. Allott, bust
ness manager of the combination. The
money which was put up by Hoffman
was brought into the hotel in a satchel
and paid to Allott.
Younger and James will leave for
Chicago in a few days, where the COM
pany will be formed. Tt is said that
the show will not exploit any of the
wild and bloody scenes of history con-
nected with the lives of the two IA
nous men, but that 1t will be an at
traction of the Wild West order. James
will do the acting, foT Younger is
prevented from appearing on the stage
by the terms of his pardon from Min
nesota. The season for the show will
begin next May, and 1t is expected that
a tour of the Northwest will be made.
When the company enters Minnesota
Younger will not be with it, as his
pardon prevents him from ever re-
turning to that state.

Mr.. Rosenwald opposed the measure,
saying that the firemen are knocking
down the money so secured, instead of

tically as it now is, and Mr.. Nyquist
was about to consent when his atten-
ton was called to his danger and he
entered a vehement objection.
The bill was passed with only slight
opposition. The other house bills pass

The extreme cold claimed it's first
st. Paul victim esterday.
Buried beneath heavy sheet of ice,
he frozen body of Frederick Brand
horst, 442 East Ninth street, was found
at $50 o'clock last evening in the rear
Of the old Sibley homestead, at Part
ridge and Woodward avenues.
The body laid five yards from
spring, which flows from the slope
leading down from the Sibley home to
the Great Northern tracks. AS the man
lay on his back beneath the spring his
body was. submerged by the running
water, which froze and gave the re-
mains the appearance of a huge cake
of ice.
While running to view the wreck on
the Great Northern tracks, in which
Conductor Kelly lost his life last night,
Willie Turner stumbled over the frozen
mass. When he regained his footing
he discovered that the mass was the
body OF a man. Coroner Miller, who
was at work at the wreck, was sum-
moned and at once ordered the body
removed to the morgue
Before the body could be removed it
was necessary to chop the ice away,
so firmly was it imbedded in the frozen
water.
The remains were identified before
they were taken to the morgue by
Herman and J. Henry Brandhorst,
brothers Of the deceased. Soon after
the body was taken to the morgue it
was turned over to E. c. Schroeder
and was removed to his undertaking
rooms at 1872 East Sixth street.
Missing for Two Days.
MI. Brandhorst, who was forty three
years of age, disappeared from his
home Sunday afternoon. When ne did
not return that evening a search was
insigated, but without success. Mon
day the police were notified, but until
the body was found last evening no
trace of the man was obtained.
When Brandhorst left his home he
wore no OvercOat and had on his feet
only light pair of summer slippers.
1t IS thought that he intended to walk
but short distance from his home to
visit friends and that While near the
spring IN the rear of the Sibley prop
eTty he fell on the ice and was rem
dered unconscious. Death resulted from
the cold, and the water from the we'll

AS far as can be ascertained the poor

the past three days, been kept pretty
busy supplying coal and wood to those

been supplemented by the Relief So

EXCUSE HEAD OF FAMILY.
Relief From Jury Duty Offered as
Home BuiIdinu Incentive,

A reformed woodchuck is found con-
cealed in an innocent looking senate
measure, designed to amend the pres
ent law relating to the selection Of
Juries. The bill was introduced yester-
day by Senator Morgan, and this same
measure brings the senator from Free
born forward as one Of the diplomats
of the upper house.
In this bill Senator Morgan indorses
President Roosevelt's ideas of the
strenuous family life, and more than
this, the solon from Freedom offers an
inducement where the president merely
files a protest.
President Roosevelt does not know
whether most to pity or most despise
the foolish and selfish man who de-
MES himself these highest of all joys
which spring only from home life, but
Senator Morgan instead of wasting pity
makes it an object for the &man who
at the present time considers a family
in the light of a serious handicap, to
change his views.
