Washington, July 3.--Secretary Of
War Root Thursday had a conference
with Gen. Humphrey. quartermaster
general and Col. Patten, who has
charge Of the clothing supplies for
the army, regarding the contract for
gloves with E. r. Lyon, who 1t il
claimed obtained his supplies Of
gloves from firm Of which Repre-
sentative Littaeur, of New York, ia
Q member. The secretary has di-
rected that an inquiry be made into
the whole subject with view to
ascertaining whether any officer
made contracts in violation of the
statutes and for such other infor-
nation as may be obtained.
The papers in the matter of allega-
tions about the contract for gloves
have been deferred to Judge Advocate
General Davis, who will examine them
to ascertain what action the war de-
partment should take from legal
and military standpoint. Some ale
cations have been made that the
glove contract was let to Lyon even
after lower bid had been made,
but this could not be verified at the
department. While one section Of the
revised statutes prohibits contracts
which will inure to the benefit of q
member of congress, another section
excerpts contract made with cor
poration in which the congressman
has shares Of stock.
1t is said at the war department
that no matter what may be the
outcome of this matter the statute
of limitations will lie against any
criminal prosecution, but this will not
prevent civil proceedings for the res
titution OF money involved in the con-
tract.
The Post ONCE Deficiency.
Washington, July Capt. Castle,
the auditor of the treasury for the
post office department, yesterday
made the official estimate that the
postal deficiency for the fiscal year
just closed will be $4,617,2O3. The de-
felt for the previous fiscal year was
SO ,961,17 This big increase is at
tributed to the enormous increase in
expenditures for the rural free deliv-
cry service during the past year. The
receipts of the postal service for the
year were $134,26s, 500 and the ex-
3s,ss5,s1s. The def
cheney in the free delivery service is
not yet definitely known beyond the
estimate made weeks ago by the
postmaster general that it would be
1927, 900 by the close Of the fiscal
year. The deficiency, however, may
prove considerably larger than that
figure.

PRIDE IN THE WAY AWARD TOO Low
Valuation Of Arbitrators on Produce
Refrigerating LossIs
SetAside.
The Court Holds That One of the
Arbitrator Was In
s tercsted. m -

Judge Brooks has filed his decision in
the case brought by the. PRODUCE Re-.
1rlseratlng company against several. fire
insurance, corporations. to have their
award set aside and proper damages as
sessed against the defendants. The find
ings are all in favor Of the plaintiff COM
pany and damages amounting to about
$4,000 are assessed. g.. 80 ra+ a. 49, !
The case has been a hard fought one on
both sides and has attracted considera Bile
interest. on account of its legal PROPOSE
tions as well as from its money value.
The building Of the Produce Refrigerating
company on First street N was burned in
November, 1901. 1t was insured for $780,,
900 in ten different companies. The dam
age was estimated by the proprietors at
about $4,000. Appraisers were selected
two of whom reported the loss at less than
$4,000. This was objected to by the
owners, who sued for damages on the
grounds that one of the arbitrators was
not disinterested party and the award
was grossly INADEQUATE. -
The case was tried before Judge Brooks
early this term and occupied nearly two
weeks. The courts final decision is that
Horace N. Leighton was not disinter-
ested arbitrator thats.he may, also; have
influenced his fellows, and therefore sets
aside the award The damage are appor-
toned among the defendants as follows:
Norwich Union Insurance: society,", $625;
Hanover Fire, $3.50: Phoenix, $1,526.50;

HER ROMANCE SHATTERED
Ruth Zeigler,. a Minneapolis School
Teacher, Commits Suicide in i
California. -

Word comes from San Jose, Cal, of the
suicide of Ruth Zeigler, a Minneapolis
school teacher. Her body was found Mon
day night in Campbell creek near Sara
toga, and as there was less than two
feet of water in the creek, there is very
little doubt but that the young woman
took her own life. Moreover, her friends,
the S. p. Shorrocks; with whom she was
stopping, say that she had been melan
choly owing to her poor health. A love
affair in Minnea polls is also believed to
have depressed her spirits. :: 49,.
1t is stated in this connection that
Miss zeigler believed that she was doomed
to become prey to consumption and that
on this account she voluntarily broke off
her engagement with we'll known young
man of this city, a former member of the
Lurline Boat club. . Brooding over her
shattered romance is believed to have
brought about morbid condition of the
young womans mind and resulted even
tualy in her tragic end -
Miss Zegler was an orphan. and had
lived with DR.. and Mrs. P. NJ Hall in
Minneapolis since she was IL years old.
Her mother. died at that time from con-
sumption. Shortly before her father ha d
committed suicide by shooting himself
at West Superior: Business reverses had
unbalanced his; mind. 49, ss..Et<s' -
Miss Zeigler graduated from the North

init her to engage regularly in teaching

ANOTHER EXPO PLAN.
The Commercial Club Will Make an.
Effort to Save the Audi
torium.
It Is Hoped to Induce Some Com
panty to Take the
Building.

:; The Commercial club has begun cam
paigl to save the Exposition building to
the public for the sake of the auditorium.
Already So 900 for the purpose is in sight.
1t is proposed to induce some company to
take over the building and realize returns
on the rentals of the, big hall and of the
remaining Spacemin the building. .r-.
90 W. G. :Nye,. secretary Of the public af
fairs committee, has seen the owners of
the building in regard to the project and
has secured funds to. the amount stated.
Mi. Nye said to-day: 1.-The public af-
fairs committee feels that this is an OPP
portunity to get an auditorium that will
meet the: needs of: the city SO far as a
large convention hall is concerned at a
cost of practically 100000 and the com
panys which controls the building would
have a large amount Of space which could
be used. for other purposes which would
bring in an income. 49,
1--WE have no criticisms to offer of the
present owners Of the structure who de-
cline to be annoyed by the mainta ming of
the auditorium and the renting to out
siders. There is no question in my mind
that in case the. move Of the club does
not succeed the owners will 'dismantle the
building, in which case the city would be
without. an auditorium for the. Swedish
festival chorus in July which is bound to
bring as large. a gathering from outside
as has been here fer years. =
The Commercial club does not propose
to buy the building. 1t is entirely foreign
to the purposes Of the club. The public
affairs. committee feels that it should be
obtained by some Organization for the
public. <@ '"-
Our propositicnis that company
should be organized and the property Sc
cured and remodeled. I think that the
subscribers to the fund for that purpose
should be given income bearing bonds
secured by mortgage on the property.
= we feel further that in the hands OF
such a corporation. with some one il,
charge whose business it would be to
keep the building employed. there is nc
question but what it would pay a good
rate of interest ION the investment. -.
kansas City maintains structure
which cost 100000 and has accumula tee
surplus and there is no good reason why
Minneapolis cannot maintain such public
building where the investment doesn't ex-
coed 100000, and realize good profit

WHO: WAS GUILTY
Members of Local Detective Force in
Regard to the Burdick
Murder.
Tom Gallagher Gives Reasons for Be-
leving Pencil Was .1mplica-.
ted in the Crime.

Members Of the local police force have
watched with great interest the develop
ments in the Burdick case at Buffalo, and
many theories have been discussed by the
city detectives The ma jority incline to
the belief that Pennell while he may not
have been directly implicated, had some
knowledge of the Burdick murder, and
many think that Pennell committed sui
eide.
Another theory connects Mrs. Pennell
with the murder. Those who suspect
Pennell- believe Mrs. Burdick knew the
particulars of the crime, either before or
after its commission. Still others think
that some person not yet identified with
the affair is guilty. Detective Tom CAL
legher said to-day:
while would not wish actually to ac-
cuse Pencil of the murder, the facts that
have been disclosed up to date Indicate
that he knew of the crime, If he did not
commit it himself. According to the press
stories. Pennell was a nervous, high-tem-
pered*man, just the sort that might COM
init murder. il: aroused to sudden passion.
Moreover. he is the only man who up to
date has been shown to have motive for
killing Burdick: ~~;~
Il further believe that Pencil commit
ted suicide. A sane man would hardly
| be likely to take out his automobile; on a
dark, stormy night, for a mere pleasure
run. Or. possibly, Pennel worrying over
matters connected with the case and
with his nerves at a high pitch, may have
| tried to quiet himself by rapid run along
| the road. That method of working off
steam is quite common. Rapid motion
| seems to have the effect Of quieting the
nerves, and while seeking mental calm in
this manner, Pencil may have met with
| his ia tai accident.
Il think Mrs. Burdick knows more
about the case than she will tell.
| think. she knows who committed the
| crime, though she may not have known
tt was contemplated. 1t scarcely seems
that there is any ground for believing
| however, that a woman committed the

necessary to commit murder in that way

She usually employs a pistol, or poison
or. more rarely, a knife. Too much i'm.
