cRAWLs ALONG NARROW LEDGE
Deed Of lnsare Man a Hundred Feet
Above Ground.


Minneapolis, Oct. 15.-In frenzy of
terror, with the superhuman strength
of madness, Joseph Brown, confined
in the insane ward of the Hennepin
county Jail, tore away the bars of his
cell and window and, reaching the out
side window ledge, craWled around on
an eight-inch ledge a distance of
eight feet, over 100 feet from the
ground.
1t is regarded as one of the most
remarkable feats ever accomplished
by human being.
People who witnessed the daring
act say that the mans strength and
nerve were phenomenal.
When the guards discovered the
mans absence they rushed to the
window expecting to see his dead body
on the ground below. But he was dis
covered trying to crawl in at another
window and was dragged to safety.

secures under the gross earnings fee
system.
But where the city suffers the most
from the present fee system is in
street and sewer improvements. Rail-
road property is exempted from pay
ing assessments made for improve
ments, as its whole tax is supposed to
be paid on a gross earninG percentage
basis. The burden of improving streets
adjacent to railway property falls upon
the city"
There was lively discussion OF Mr.
Bets recommendation that the city
lay aside $4,000 each year for three
years for the recoupment of losses sus-
tanned by the city in the bank failure
eight years ago. In 1901 $4,000 was
collected for that purpose, but it was
never applied. Mr.. Betz said he did
not know what became of the money
raised by taxation for the recoupment
of the fund as he was not then comp
troller.

LOOK FOR MARINES
New Recruiting Station Begins
Active Work.

Efforts to secure recruits for the
United States marine service yesterday
began in earnest by Lieut.. E. B. Miller,
in charge of the recruiting station
which has been opened in Room COG,
Ernst building. The station is the first
one for recruiting of marines opened
in st. Paul in many years and many
recruits are expected.
The service offers some advantages
not to be secured in either the army or
the navy. The marines serve for four
years and two of these years are spent
on board ship, giving them an oppor-
tunity to see large part Of the world
The service pays from $13 to $43 a
month and at most times is not ardu-
Gus. The marines do guard duty on the
boats and form all landing parties made
in case of attack. On land they act as
guards at the navy yards.
Opportunities to secure commissions
are offered to the men in the ranks,
service examination being held each
year. About twenty-five men have
gone up from the ranks during the past
three years. The other officers are
chosen from the students at Annapolis
while in Cavite," said Lieut. Miller
we received recruits almost every day
from among the soldiers, who get their
discharges from the army after having
served their time
Men entering the marine service
must be twenty-one and not over thir-
ty-five years of age. They must be at
least five feet four inches tall, but not
over six feet one inch. Every recruit
must be able to read and write the
English language.
The Filipino children are bright and
learn fast" said Lieut.. Miller. "The
schools which the United States has
instituted are doing a great deal to
improve their conditions. The coming
generations will be much better fitted
to be placed in office and to govern
themselves than the present one, as
they will not be possessed of those in
stincts of treachery which centuries of
oppression by the Spaniards have in
stilled into the race.
"Aguinaldo is a dead one so far as
most of the Filipinos are concerned,
and you seldom ever hear his name
mentioned over there any more. The
Islands are now generally pacified, al
though down in Moroland they have
little bushwhacking outbreaks now
and then. They do not amount to
much, though"
Lieut.. Miller has recently returned
from the Philippines, where he was
was on duty most of the time at
Cavite.
There are still lots of opportunities
in the islands for Americans" con-
tinued the lieutenant" but they must
have money. The days are past when
fortunes can be made without money
There were a good many fortunes
made right after the occupation Of
Manila by men without a cent, but
those days are past. / know of one
soldier who deserted soon after reach
ing Manila and went into the saloon
business. He had just cents when
he went ashore, but his head for busi-
ness was his capital and since then he
has amassed between 100000 and
100000. He holds interests in some of
the biggest manufacturing enterprises
in the islands. Many others had SIM
flar luck"

ing the free right of workmen to combine

Resolved. That the Citizens Industrial
Association of America is in earnest
sympathy with every movement in the in
terest of labor. Believing that there can
be no national prosperity where the work
ing classes are ground down in hopeless
poverty and ignorance, we hold as hap
pieSt of all the results of the great IN
dustrial revolution achieved in the last
half century the greatly advanced and
improved condition of the Work1ngmen at
the present day."
Local Body Has 100 Members.
When we started the movement in st.
Paul we had 100 business men and man
ufacturers interested, and they have be-
come members said President r; A.
Kirk last night We are still working
and expect to bring in many more.
L w e nave as yet taken no steps toward
gathering fund for the purpose of car
rying on the work for which the organ
I ization was effected. But we expect to
move in that direction soon.
when the project of organizing this
body was first talked of among the bust
ness men of ST. Paul nothing was known
of the general movement on foot in the
country at large which resulted in the
formation of the Citizens Industrial as
ISOLATION. The movement has now taken
firm root and it will lie carried forward. ="
At labor headquarters in Federation
hall when the formation Of the local
branch Of the Citizens Industrial as
ISOLATION was made known, no anxiety
was expressed.
1.-The movement among the employ
ers will only have the effect of bring
ing the controversy between labor and
capital into gigantic national ques-
ton which will take the shape of a
political ISSUE" was the comment of
John F. Krieger, district organizer of
the American Federation of Labor.
Other labor leaders were inclined TO
await developments before expressing
their opinion as to this new element
which has entered into the local sit
uation.
