LUTTBEG THE STAR
Lightweight Wrestler Draws Crowds to
the Dewey Theater This Week.


the Dewey Theater This Week.
Sam Devere's "Own Company" at the
Dewey theater this week, presents a
rather conventional program except for
Max Luttbeg, the wrestler, who provides
a feature unusual in burlesque perform
ances. Mr.. Luttbeg offers to Wrestle any
local celebrity-feather, light, welter, mid
die or heavyweight-and will forfeit $50
to any man who will stay on the mat with
him fifteen minutes without being thrown.
The two bur.esques are up to the aver
age in chorus, comedy and dress-not
beyond it. The olio contains some fea-
lures of real merit. Sam Devere has sew
eral good songs and his conversation is
entertaining, altho most of his gags are
old. The real hit is the burlesque boxing
scene furnished by Jack Burke and Will
liam McEvoy. Knockout blows made IA
nous by old and new champions are IL
lustrated, and Mr.. McEvoy's comedy work
makes the turn pass quickly.
The Rice brothers in a comedy aero
batic turn receive merited applause, and
Larry Smith and Mamie Champion in a
comedy sketch do well. Miss Champion
singing Of "Bedelia'' is the best thing ir
the act. The Century Comedy Four is less
tiresome than most quartets of this char
acter. -.-t.

THE WAR ON BUGS
State Entomologist Makes His Annual Re-
port to Governor.

In his annual report submitted to Gov
ernor S. r. Van SAINT yesterday, Professor
F. l.. Washburn, state entomo.ogst, says
that with the exception Of chinch bugs
in limited locality, insects did little
damage in Minnesota last year. This
gratifying condition is attributed by Pro
fessor Washburn to climatic influences.
to greater familiarity with methods Of
combating the pests and to the operation
Of a law passed by the last legislature
for the extinction Of grasshoppers by re-
uuiring farmers to plow infected fields
Professor Washburn has established a
correspondence department and has APP
pointed persons in. nine counties to, OBJ
serve insect conditions. Special investi-
cations have been made of the IIessian
fly and of the use Of adulterated paris
green. Professor Washburn says that
there are at least two broods of Hessiar
fly in the state, and that paris green
often contains arsenic, which is fatal tc
plants, and often does more harm thar
good. The cost Of carrying on the work
| of the department for the year was
| s4,3874O.

O'Conncr Allows His Mantle to Fall on
Ed L, Murphy,


Ed l.. Murphy is the new Tammany
'boss'' of ST. Paul, vice r. T. O'Connor,
who is withdrawing because of failing
health Murphy, who was formerly. a
oon-keeper but now a member of the
board of public works, has been getting
his hand in for some time, and while
O'Connor is still the real authority and
will appear as the leader of the organiza- :
ton until after the spring election, the
details are being looked after by Murphy.
1t was intended to keep this quiet until
Murphy had time the strengthen his hold,
but Mayor Smith allowed it to leak out
on the cason of his recent break with
Dan Lawler. When Lawler protested to
the mayor that the lighting company for
which he is attorney was not being given
a fair show in advertising for bids. the
mayor replied that Murphy would have
it that way When the police commits
sioner demanded to know what Murphy
had to say about 1t, the genial Bob
replied:
well, you know Murphy is kind of look
ing after things now.
few days later Lawler resigned his
office.

aldermen composing the special commit
tee Of the council which is considering
the franchise for the Minneapolis General
Electric company were the guests of the
Minneapolis Retail Dealers association at
it's dinner at the Nicollet hotel last eve
ming. The presence of the aldermen was
particularly desired in view of a paper
on electric plants read by C. F. Pillsbury,
formerly electric inspector in the build
ing inspection department. Mr.. Pillsbury
treated the cost of erecting and maintain
ing electric plants and the cost of pro-
ducing electricity.

F. w. Cappelen will submit report or
the cost of electric plants and the com.
parative figures on the charges for cleo.

When is a cord of wood not a cord
of wood? is a conundrum propounded
by Ralph Whitney, sealer of weights
and measures.
The answer is: "When it's sod.'
Seriously, Whitney asserts that while
there must be 12S cubic feet in cord
of four-foot wood, this same wood
when sawed will make only from 1O8
to 112 feet He went to a fuel yard
and in the presence of various dealers
packed a cord rack as closely as pos
sible with four-foot wood. This wood
was then sawed and remeasured and
was found to have shrunk to liz feet.
The shorter lengths made closer pack
ing possible.
Acting ON the result of this and sim
liar corroborative experiments Mr..
Whitney agreed that dealers might de-
! liver. 112 feet of sawed wood as a
cord.
Some Short Measure Dealers.
1t appears, however, that some
dealers have allowed for more shrink
! age than the agreement provided.
+: Against one firm in particular, COM
! plants of short measure have been
made. In two cases where the short
age has been checked up and reported
| back. this dealer. has made it up with
out question, but the suspicion exists
| that if short measure has been de-
tected by the purchasers in two in
stances there must be many more
cases where buyers have accepted q
scant cord without knowing the diff
! ference. -...
In some cases there has been a dis.
position to criticize the city sealer fol
failing to prosecute in such instances
The victims hold that inasmuch as the
city maintains such an official he
should be sufficiently active to insure
full measure without any trouble OF
their part. Mr.. Whitney, on the othe1
hand, insists that he can not bring {
successful prosecution unless he cal
bring the purchaser into court as {
witness.
