GRINDS HIN TO OBEY /
Dean Haynes Stands by the City Ad-
ministration at Sac
rifce.
Says His Father Shouldn't Have
Placed Blank Cartridges
Under the Ban.

Dean Haynes, the 14-year-ol hopeful
In the household Of Mayor James G..
Haynes, tho feeling much chagrin over
the mayors pronunciamento forbidding
the discharge of firearms aid cannon
crackers, will remain loyal to the admin
istration and will obey orders. But he's
a real American boy and cannot restrain
his patriotism, so he will go beyond the
jurisdiction Of Mayor Haynes and cele-
brate at Excelsior.
''This proclamation about revolvers is
too bad" says Dean, with that convincing
confidence in their own judgment so char
acteristic of American boys. There's no
sense 4 in putting revolvers in such a
proclamation. Why, a revolver is the
safest thing boy can have on the Fourth.
Some of the fellows around here have
spent as much as $2.75 for revolvers, and
now they won't have "a chance to use
them.
IF dad wasn't mayor, believe I'd go
out and shoot the revolver anyway in spite
Of the old proclamation. Well, I can go to
Excelsior. anyway.
L. E. Kennedy confirms the statement
of Haynes. Jr., with regard to- the safety
of revolvers when only blank cartridges
are used. Last year he watched the twin
city papers carefully for a week before
the Fourth and several days after and Of
the deaths and serious accidents reported
| none was caused by blank cartridge re-
volvers Or modern breech loading cannon.

IN REMODELED CHURCH
First Methodist Church Sunday Will
Hold First Services in Recon
structed Edifce.
The First Methodist cl

The First Methodist church. which was
partially destroyed by fire some time ago,
has been rebuilt and will be opened next
Sunday for services for the first time since
the fire. The First church congregation
will now have a modernized church in
which to worship. The original building
cost $27 1000, but had become somewhat
out of date. With about $4,000 received
from insurance and $4,000 added by the
members, 1t has been possible to rebuild
the structure in more modern style, re-
modelling it and giving large dining-room
down stairs, large and airy room for the
Sunday schools primary department and
other improvements. A man interested
In the Sunday school but not a member Of
the church has given $100 toward a fund
for primary department. piano.
Tho the first service In the remodeled
building will be held Sunday.at 1890 a. M,
the formal opening will be delayed for
some time. Rev. William Love, Phi. D.,
will preach Sunday morning, Sunday
school will begin at 1916 p. M, the Ep-
worth League will meet at p. M, and
Children's Day exercises will be held at
1880 p. m. These will include patriotic
features. =
The remodeling Of the church has been
under the direction of q, building COM

IT'S UP TO ALDERMEN
Yet They IL Inquire How Far Wires
Are Being Put Under
Ground.
In Many Cases They Are Themselves
Responsible for Disregard Of
Ordinance.

When the council started an investiga-
ton with regard to the extent to which
concerns using electric wires had com
piled with the ordinance of 1899, extend
ing the, underground limits, the aldermen
launched a possible boomerang. No citv
officials are better able to tell to what
extent the law has been violated than the
aldermen themselves. There has been
scarcely a council meeting for months at
which permissions have not been given
to one or more Of the companies using
electric wires in their business, to erect
pole lines Or. individual poles within the
conduit limits There have been some
cases where property owners along streets
affected would have liked to object against
the unsightlye poles, but have known moth
ing of the matter until workmen began
digging In their boulevard strips. This
has been due to a practice that has sprung
up in the council Of facilitating action on
petitions for permission to erect pole lines.
Such a petition will be read before the
council, and instantly some alderman
moves that it be referred to the commit
tee. on underground wires and the alder
man from the ward interested, with or
ders to report back this evening" A ia
vorable report on the petition at the same
session permits quick action by the alder
men, but cuts out the citizen who objects
to having his residence section made to
look like a giants pin cushion, with cleo
trio poles as the pins.
There is some doubt as to where the
responsibility for getting the wires I'M
derground belongs. Originally the city en-
gineer had all the authority, but when
the building inspection department was
given an electric wire Inspector, some Of
the duties Of the city engineer were trans
ferred to the new office. The line Of sep
aration was rever clearly marked, how
ever, and there has been an overlapping
of duties, which has made both officials
| a little wary about proceeding too far.
| Possibly the investigation will have the
effect of defining the respective duties OF
the. city engineer and the electric wire
Inspector with regard to pole lines and
| electric wires in general

WALKoUT OR LOCKOUT?
Peculiar Labor Complications in
Bank Following Street Parade.

A strike occurred at the National Bank
Of Commerce this morning. It was all on
account of the horse show at Ha,mline.
The Journal Newsboy's band passed the
bank, three girl stenographers rushed out
to see the redcoats, the major domo Of
their department locked the door behind
them and the girls haven't been seen
since. Therefore the strike partakes of
the nature of a lockout. Meanwhile clerks
are laboriously writing out letters by

B., T. G. WILL FIGHT
Council Passes Resolution Declaring
( War on Judge graY's Position.

The Building Trades Council last eve
ming passed a resolution relating to the
recent injunction Of Judge Cray restrain
ing the council or its: agents from inter-
fering with the employees Of certain con-
tractors. After reciting briefly the his
tory Of the case, the resolution says:
Resolved; That we: pledge our sacred honor to
resist such assumption of power in the destruc-
ton. Of our freedom and independence, in every
lawful manner and every method within our
power to rid our country thru the use Of the
ballot from every vestige of court tyranny which
has been so persstently used to the injury Of
the working class.
Members of the council freely say that
they think the supreme court will dis
solve the Injunction. = e
"A new constitution was adopted by the
council. It provides for an executive
board to consist Of the vice president, the
secretary and the 'tl1rees trustees Of the
council. The board will dispose of mat
tiers that come up between regular meet
ings and demand Instant attention.

TEAR OFF. THE MASK
Minnesota Cheese Cant Masquerade
as a Wisconsin Product.

Federal authorities will cooperate with
the Minnesota dairy and food commission
in preventing the practice of misbrand-
ing Minnesota butter and cheese. The at
tention Of the secretary Of agriculture has
been called to this, and he has informed
Commissioner Mcconnell that any such
cases will be prosecuted by the depart
ment Of justice under the law Of 1902,
which imposes fine Of $500 to 50, 900 for
introducing in any state or territory dairy
or food products falsely labeled as to the
state or territory in which they are pro-
duced.
Minnesota cheese is fully equal in quail
ity to the best Of New York or Wisconsin,
but is not SO well known, and the prod
uct of Minnesota factories is often dis
played for sale with the New. York or
wisconsin label. The law furnishes pro-
lection against such a deceit; which works
injury to the Minnesota dairyman.S #
