NELSON PIERCED
A DISGUISE
DRUNK TRIES TO CONCEAL HIS
IDENTITY FROM COURT.
Clerk Sees Thru His Make-up-NIan
was Dan Sullivan, Who Had Been
Let or Saturday on lizard Luck
Plea by His Friends.

Dan Sullivan. representing himself
as expert telegraph operator, tried
to work clever game on Judge
Holt in police court this morning,
but the detective abilities of Clerk
Peter Nelson proved too much for
him and he was given twenty days
on a second charge of drunkenness.
Sullivan was in court last Satur-
day for being drunk and his friends
told the court a hard luck story
and he was let off. They said he was
a telegraph operator in hard cir
cumstances and would lose his posi-
ton If sent to the workhouse.
Evidently thinking the court was
easy, Sullivan proceeded to celebrate
again last night and was again
locked up. This morning he came
into court, wearing a pair of smoked
glasses, a new overcoat, having his
hair combed in a decidedly new style
and giving a new name. He pleaded
guilty and told the court that it was
his first offense.
Nelson looked at him a minute and
then asked him to remove his disguise
/ Sullivan was forced to admit that he
was trying to deceive the court and
was given a straight sentence OF
twenty days in the workhouse.

ELKS' LODGE OF SORROW
ANNUAL SERVICE In HONOR OF
THE DEPARTED - ADDRESSES
BY JUDGE DOBBIN AND M. F.
HEALY,

The annual lodge of sorrow held
in the Metropolitan opera-house
yesterday afternoon by the local
lodge of Elks was largely attended.
The oratorical efforts were of unusual
excellence. - s.........
vidually the eight members Of the
lodge who had died during the year

F. Morgan, e. L. PARCELS, N. H. Bart

and J. N. Priester. M. F. Healy Of
Fort Dodge, Iowa. delivered a bril-
liant oration which held the entire
attention Of those present for over
an hour.
Among the sentiments uttered by
Judge lDobbin were: ..
when we speak Of them, we
shall not measure their lives by their
weakest links in the chain, but by
ence they exerted for good; and,
as we recall each one Of them, we
| find something in their lives that
furnishes an inspiration to us for
nobler endeavor and action. May we
not conclude that they are re-
usefulness, where their talents shall
be employed for a more glorious
and noble purpose 49,.
Mr.. Healy said among other things:
| 'If there Is one thing that the order
Of Elks has impressed upon me above
all else 1t is to be gentle to the feel
! ings Of the living, u those who are
struggling amid the trials and
temptations Of our stormy existence.

of kindness and encouragement to

and his pulses beat than to write

WHERE TO PUT
NEW ARMORY
QUESTION ON WHICH A COMMIT
TEE is AT WORK.
Shall 1t Be Down Town, or in Some
Residence District-Site Near Lor-
ing Park Is Being Considered
pense in Outlying District Would Be
Far Less.
Tar Less.

Now that the money is really at
hand for the building Of an armory
there has arisen among those more
directly interested in the project con-
siderable discussion as to whether the
structure. should; be down. town or in
the. residence district.
The new st. Paul armory will be
down town., but that is because the
site has been in the. possession of the
national guard, thru ownership by the
state, for nearly twenty years. When
it was purchased it was, far from the
business center.
In the eastern cities there isfa de-
cided tendency to build arnories in
the residence districts and even on the
outskirts Of the city. In Buffalo the
new armory for the Seyenty-fourth
New York is being built on the site
of the old reservoir.
Two things prompt a large number
Of those having especial interest in the
Minneapolis armory to consider IA
building Of the new armory in the resi-
dence district. One Of them Is the
advantage such a location might have
to those who will make much Of the
social side of the meetings which will
be held in the new building, and the
other is the reduced cost of such a site
About the only available site dis
covered within the business district
bounded by Sixth street and the river
is in a portion Of the city where the
neighborhood might act as a handicap
to social functions. Moreover, g
downtown site, as far as has beer
learned, will cost at least 100000.
In contrast to this have been the
offers of several sites in the neighbor.
hood Of Loring park which can be
purchased for $4,000. Inasmuch a!
the new armory will be above criti
cisn architecturally as in other ways
1t is not believed that any objection
could be offered to the building Of the
new guardsmen's headquarters OF
such a, site. o.,
Mayor Haynes, City Treasurer Hurl
bert and Major Frank Corriston, thu
committee having the matter il
charge, are willing to entertain offer
from property holders having for sal
sites within the district bounded b!
Hennepin avenue, Fourth avenue
and Grant street and the river; but i
is quite probable that a site on Lorinl
park or in that vicinity will be give1
the preference, ..

INDoRsEs VOTERS LEAGUE
Rev.. Or. J. S. Montgomery's Address at
Wesley Last Night.

Last evening at Wesley church Fore
fathers /" day was celebrated with ap-
propriate addresses by Judge Torrance
and Judge Hicks. DR.. Montgomery in his
closing address gave emphatic 1ndorse-
ment of theVoters' league now in progress
of organization in the city. He said: In
the highest and best Interpretation Of the
word politician is one Of the best words
in the vocabulary Of civic life. The word
Methodist means much, but the word
Christian carries with it a world of
meaning. Political parties have their right
and legitimate sphere of operation in the
affairs of our country. But in civic affairs
they should be altogether secondary and
no citizen should allow himself to be sub
servient to either. The hope Of the Ameri-
can city is in the Independent and non
partizan voter. The Voters league should
have the unqualified approval of every
lover of Minneapolis. To hunt down the
record Of every office seeker, to know his
attitude on avery question vital to our
municipal life and reveal his character, is
politics and the highest and best form of
patriotism.''

STATE GETS THE LAND

Swamp Tracts in Chippewa Reservations
Awarded to State.
State Auditor Iverson has won his claim
to swamp lands in the Chippewa reserva-
tions set aside by the act Of March II,
1860, which includes part Of the Cass Lake
reservation from which timber was sold
last Saturday. The secretary Of the in
terror has decided that as this land was
set aside after congress had passed the
swamp land grant, the lands In those
reservations that were swamp and unfit
for cultivation at that time revert to the
stateagain, when the reservation is thrown
open. .-.
The decision does not affect the parts of
the 'Leech Lake and Winnibigashish reser-
vations reserved by the" treaty of 1855,
which was prior to the swamp land grant.

Attempt Being Made to Combine the

New York, Sept 2S.-Plans for the
formation of building trades labor
trust, affiliating in round numbers a
million workingmen skilled in those

geographers describe as partly inclos-

The names Leeward and Windward
are applied rather loosely to groups of
islands in the West Indies, but the
British use the terms to suit them
selves, subdividing their possessions
thus-the Bahamas, Barbados, ia

islands, Trinidad with Tobogo, Wind

islands of Martinique and Guadeloupe,
which belong to France. are included

meaning as still interpreted by sail

20 inhabited and many uninhabited
Islands, has an area of $40 square
