A Sioux Falls Parent Tries to Stop q

riage.
His Telegram Received When the
Young People Were Al
ready Married.

Leon Covell and Florence Massa are
believed to have secured license and
been married by Judge Simpson yes
terday afternoon. Despite age lirnita-
lions. parental opposition and few other
obstacles, the two are now man and wife.
This morning telegram was received
by County Clerk Dickey It read:
Sioux Falls, S. D., Aug. %, 1903
Clerk Of Courts, Minneapolis, Mimi: Did
Leon Coven and Florence Massa get
license to marryY If not refuse them, as
girl is under age. Wire answer.
Harry Massa.'
Deputy Clerk switzer discovered that
license was issued yesterday to Leon
Covell Of Jones County, Iowa, and Flor
ence Johnson of Minnehaha county, s.
d. Her age was given as 10. The two
were married by Judge Simpson imme-
diately.
'Altho the brides last name was given
as Johnson, her first name was the same
as that wired by Mr.. Massa and the name
OF the groom was Identical. 1t is there
fore believed to be certain that the con-
tracing parties are the ones referred to
by the irate parent at Sioux Falls, and
that the young man in giving the data to
the clerk and milking his marriage aft
davit not only disregarded parental OBJ
jections but committed the crime of per
jury. A marriage under an assumed
name is said to be no marriage.

AN OILY DILEMMA
Its Victims Unawares Slide Onto a
Horn It Will Be Hard
.
to Escape.
They Took Oil From Star Oil Plant
Tank and Must Face Pro
ceedings.

Persons in the vicinity Of the North
western Star Oil company's ruined plant
who have been helping themselves to oil
from an unexploded tank, have escaped
from one horn of a dilemma only to be
firmly 1mpaled upon another. They prob
ably were not aware Of any dilemma at
all; nevertheless, one existed, and their
free use of the oil created it. B. F. Ward
deputy state oil Inspector, discovered it.
2 The trouble was that If the free and
easy persons who took the Oil were using
.low-test oil they were liable to prosecu-
ton by the oil Inspector; IT they were
using high-grade oil, or, in any event,
in fact, they. were likely to be made de-

ME Davis, 2201 Hennepin avenue, as ex-

high temperature to which the oil was
subjected in the fire, the oil was made

the dread inspector; but they will not
escape the executrix, who has retained
BENJAMIN Davenport to prosecute. He has
evidence to show that several hundred
barrels have been taken.

NAY MAKEnNO BIDS
Lumbermen Might Thus Delay the
Cutting Of That Reserva-
ton Pine.
The Time Extension Does Not. Meet
With Their Unanimous
Approval.

Lnrnbermen Of the city differ as to the
new time limit Of five years set for the
cutting OF Chippewa reservation timbepr in
Minnesota. Hovey C. Clarke believed the
time sufficient. c. A. Smith advanced the
same reasons against the five-year limit
that We're offered generally against the
original time for cutting Of two years, the
main objection being the urfavorable eff
feet on the market OF unloading at one
time so much timber, and the financial
loss to the Indian because conditions
would force low prices for the stumpage.
w. F. Brooks said that his Arm had only
one ten-year timber deed. These deeds
usually run fifteen to twenty years, and
his company always held for the twenty
years when possible. He said that this
timber should properly be sawed on Or
near the reservation. The business like
way would be to build a plant right on
the ground. This construction would take
much time from the limit for cutting the
trees. Mr.. Brooks said there were sew
eral restrictions in the law which would
work unfavorably to the public and to the
Indians.
1t has been suggested that the lumber
men who believe the time limit too short
might get a further extension and secure
an elimination of the unfavorable features
of the law by refusing to make bids at
the December sales. This might result in
complete change in the conditions.

QUESTION DOLLARS
Carpenters Decline to Strike Out Of
sympathy With Builders.

Carpenters Decline to Strike Out Of
sympathy With Builders.
Altho the case of the striking brtcklay-
ers and the building laborers was elo-
quently presented at the regular meeting
Of the Carpenters Union last night by a
committee headed by former Assistant
City Attorney Herman Johnson, hlmsel1
member of the Bricklayers' Union, the
Carpenters Union refused to entertain
proposition to go on a sympathetic strike.
In the midst of the arguments in favor
of the sympathetic strike, one Of the fore
men now working on building against
which the laborers and bricklayers have
declared q strike arose and showed that
the average of wages paid to carpenters
on that building was higher than the scale
demanded. This showing had tendency
to make the carpenters more conservative.
About the only place where the people
Of Minneapolis would suffer from the con-
tinuation of the building laborers and
bricklayers strike would be on the street
railway lines. Altho the company has
plenty of equipment, it has not the power
to run all the cars needed. and will not
have until the new power-house at the
east end Of the Tenth avenue s bridge
and the substation at Hennepin avenue
and Eleventh street are completed. These
are the two buildings about which the
strikers have been most active and where
the most determined efforts have been
made to keep the non union men off,
A Heated Open Debate.
Carl Bringelson, cabinetmaker en-
ployed by Smith s. Wyman, made himself
conspicuous last night by arguing before
an open meeting Of the woodworkers at II
Main street NE against the formation of
unions.
The machinists. cabinetmakers and
bench workers, altho organized some time
ago, have not shown the proper enthusi-
asm of late, and so Charles F. Ceilley,
general organizer Of the Amalgamated
! Woodworkers' International Union OF
| America, has come to Minneapolis, and
he called the meeting Of last night.
About forty non-union woodworkers &C
copied the invitation to join the union, but
Mr.. Bringelson held out or the ground that
all things equalized themselves, and that
If the unions got higher wages they would
have to pay higher prices. The discus
sion between the unorthodox Mr.. Bringel-
son and the enthusiastic Mr.. Ceilley was
| lively one.

B. I. c. MEETING OFF
Strike Affairs Likely to Be Discussed
Thursday Instead ofsThis
Evening.
Bare Chance Of Settlement in Seized
ule to Be Submitted to
Contractors.

The special meeting Of the Building
Trades council, which was to have been
called for this evening to pass upon the
legality of the bricklayers' sympathetic
Using dissension in union labor ranks, will
not be held before next Thursday even
Ing.
The only thing which will prevent the
meetings being called for Thursday will
be the reaching of settlement between
the contractors and strikers this after
noon, and that is a remote possibility.
Robert Wilson, organizer of the Interna-
tional IIod Carriers and Building Labor
ers' union, who came here from Chicago
early in the week to bring about a settle
ment Of the strike, has prepared a elias
sification" which fixes nine-hour day at
a minimum of % cents an hour, with time
and a half for overtime, and provides that
union helpers on concreting for buildings
shall be employed when they can be fur
nfshed.'
z AS this incorporates practically all the
demands made by the striking laborers.
the contractors will not accept 1t unless
they reverse themselves. Interviews
with the principal ones this morning indi-
Gated that the meeting Of the Master
Builders association called for 3 p. M.
to-day would not accept,
Sympathy Is Not Marked.
Evidence that the building laOOrerS
strike is not arousing much sympathy for
the cause of the strikers Is on every hand.
The union labor men regret the dissension
in their own ranks which promises to re-
suit from the action of the brtcklayer who
are out on a sympathetic strike.
The contractors regret the necessity OF
putting to some inconvenience those who
are investing money In local buildings.
The architects, while they do not wish
to be quoted, are almost all in favor of
the contractors, because they do not care
to see the unsk1lled laborers hold the
balance Of power In the local labor
world.
The situation is also beginning to ap-
peal to the local brick manufacturers and
the brick jobbers. They have lost two
jobs already. n. N. Leighton has decided
to build the Bank of Commerce vault with
concrete instead Of brick and Leck 6,
Prince have just secured permission to
finish the tunnel at the Bardwell- Robin
son factory with concrete in place OF
brick.
For Better or Worse.
Failure to reach a settlement this af-
ternoon will mean meeting Of the Trades
Council and as consequence either the
calling off Of the strike or tighter tie
up than ever.

UNION REVIEWS
MILLER CHARGES
The Facts Regarding His Alleged
Bigamy Are Set Forth in a
Lengthy Statement.
From III. Journal Bureau, Room 45, Post Build

From The Journal Bureau, Room 49, Post Build
Washington, Aug. 22.-President Bar
rett Of the local bookbinders' union, late
to-day gave a long statement of the
unions side in the Miller case, which has
agitated government printing office en-
ployes for upwards of a month. The state
ment alleges that Miller has been dis
charged from government service twice
before-once when he deceived the public
printer by declaring he had served a full
apprenticeship as bookbinder when he had
not done so.
1.-THE second time,'' says the report, Sin
1878, it is claimed, he was discharged be-
cause he had deceived one of the young
women employees in the office by making
her believe he was a single man and per-
suading her to marry him. He introduced
her as his wife while he had wife living
in Pennsylvania.
"He was suspended when it became
known, and while he claims his resigna-
ton was accepted, it is understood by
those in the office with him that he was
discharged just as soon as the public
printer became certain of the facts.
The statement then asserts that Mill
er's first wife was granted a divorce in
October, 1888, more than five years after
his marriage to his present wife, Which
was solemnized at Minneapolis in 1888.
'"This was the statement continues,
more than ten years after he had repre-
sented another woman as his wife and
had lived with her as such here and had
one child by her"
Barrettthen takes up Miller's record as
assistant foreman In the government
printing office and thereasons for his being
expelled from the union. It is charged
that he misrepresented others in the office
to his superiors, which injured their
standing in the office.
He was proceeded against in regular
manner and he was expelled after fair
trial President Barrett concludes the
statement with a denial that the book
binders constitution is in conflict with
! federal laws.
