PYTHIANS TO HOLD
DISTRICT MEETINGS
Knights of PythIas Plan Twenty-Five for
Minnesota.

The Knights Of Pythias of Minnesota
VIII hold twenty-five district conventions
throughout the state this summer The
conventions will be held for the purpose
of creating interest in the affairs of the
order during the summer season.
During winter great interest is display
ed. but with the approach of warm wealth
er this interest falls off
Grand Chancellor James Robertson has
sent to the officers and members of sub
ordinate lodges a programme giving the
dates and places where the conventions
Will be held in the different districts The
first convention will be held at St Paul
on Wednesday, May q, and the last will
be held at Minneapolis Friday, June %.
The details of the convention have not
been arranged, but it is planned to hold
two sessions one in the afternoon. which
will be in the nature of an open conven-
ton and reception, at which everybody
will be welcome and one in the evening.
when the home lodge will give an eX-
emplification, in full form, of the first or
third rank. In connection with the after
noon sessions it is planned to hold parades
and other forms of outdoor entertain
ments.
Conventions of this kind are held in
nearly all the states. but are not car
ried out on as large scale as will be
the case in Minnesota this summer.

welt steps from the special train in the
ST Paul union depot, he will walk from
the train shed to the depot and through
to the building to his carriage in a
roped paSsageWay.
In front of the depot a space suf-
f1cient to accommodate the carriages
for the president and his party, which
will include thirty-fve all told, will
also be roped off, and the Enclosure
guarded by a squad Of police.
When the carriage containing the
president leaves the union depot there
will be a squad of mounted police pre-
ceding it, and four mounted officers
close to the carriage, two on either
side. Two of the officers will keep the
heads of their horses in line with
the drivers seat, and the other two
will occupy a position on either side of
the rear wheel of the carriage. The Of
f1cerS are to keep their position during
the time the president is in the car
riage, both in the parade and when
ever acting as escort.
Chief O'Connor will also have a
squad of ten policemen on foot on
either side of the carriage at a dis
lance of ten feet from the vehicle, so
that practically the president will be
the center of a carefully guarded hol-
low square of police.
The movements of the president and
his party will be carefully planned and
whenever he leaves or enters his car
riage or a building there will be a roped
passageway kept clear for him, in addi-
ton to the guard of mounted and foot
police.
Precautions at Capitol.
At the capitol, where the president
will deliver an address to the public
from the steps of the Cedar street en-
trance, the same precautions will be
taken looking to his safety and the
police will allow none but those of the
presidential party and members of the
committee places on the platform.
While inside the capitol and during
his reception and speech to the senate
and house, which will meet in joint
session, members of the secret service
squad and local detectives will take
the place of the uniformed police guard.
During the drive about the city fol-
lowing the public address the platoon
of foot police will be dispensed with.

GAS PLANT WOULD
COST 100000
Little Likelihood That City
will Seek to Absorb
1t.

While, as a precautionary measure
the Legislature will be asked to permit
the city 10 take over the plant of the
st. Paul Gas Light company if it
deems it necessary, it is hardly likely
that legislation to that. end Will ever
be taken advantage of
Figuring roughly, President Lathrop,
of the gas company, says that it will
take about $6,000,000 for the city to
absorb the plant. and this valuation
may be increased within the next fOub
years. Should its electrical rights and
plant also be absorbed under condem-
nation proceedings, double the amount
would be necessary. This is one-third
more than the present bonded indebt
edness of the city.
The members of the present fran
chse commission say it is too early in
the game to even hazard a guess as to
what its recommendations will be in
regard to the renewal of the gas fran
chise, but, as to the electrical franchise,
they will probably recommend that UNI
limited competition be created. This
will be done by granting anyone a
franchise who can show his ability to
carry out the terms of the contract
submitted.
The Edison Electric Light company,
which is a part of the St. Paul Gas
company. claims indefinite rights in st,
Paul, and for that reason it says it has
no offer to make, as it does not need
franchise. The company is so sure of
its position that it announces it's will
ingness to try the matter in the courts
and for this reason the recommended
ton of unlimited competition will prob
ably be made by the commission.
Several requests for electrical light
ing franchises, among them that of tbs
Imperial Manufacturing company, are
now before the council. and if the sit
uatiOn works out as the commission
expects it, their cOnsidera ton will be
taken up without delay by the two
bodies of the city council

Orders were received at army head
quarters in this city yesterday for ex-
tensive preparations for the trip of the

Included in the equipment to be sent
to the park are twenty large wall tents,
with flies and flaps, to go from Assina-
boine, and a corresponding number Of

DELEGATIONS PESTER
DISTRICT JUDGES
Jurists Ask Legislature to Relieve
Them of Irksome Duty.

If the judges of the district court
can bring it about, members of the
city and county board of control will
hereafter be elected to that Office in
stead Of appointed
Tired of being worried, they say. by
delegations wanting some friend ap-
pointed on the board, the district
judges, through Judge Brill have ask
ed to. be relieved from further duty
In the matter, and the legislature will
probably comply with their wishes.
The only Democrat on the board,
John Kerwin, whose term expires in
July, seems to have caused this sud
den change on the part of the judges.
Between Mr.. Kerwin's friends, who ask
for reappontment, and friends of
prospective candidates who demand
change, the judges say they have been
kept busy the past week receiving
them, and that now they want to be
relieved.
Mr.. Kerwin has been a member of
the city and county board of control
for nearly thirteen years. The office
pays about $500 a year.

WANT GERMAN
TAUGHT IN SCHOOLS
School Board Will Consider
Petition of German-Amer-
lean Bund.

At the meeting of the school board
next Wednesday the petitions Circu-
lated by the German-American Central
bund, requesting that the German Ian
guage be taught i'm the public schools
from the fourth grade up, will be pre-
scented.
Over 10000 names have been signed
to the petitions, which recite that il Is
only necessary to have one teacher in
each school building qualified to teach
German, and that the expense attend
ant upon having the language taught
will be only nominal
On this point there is some dispute.
1t is cOntended that the taking up Of
the language in the fourth and higher
grades would involve an expense Of
about $4,000 a year, and that in ths
present state of finances this addi-
tional expense is not possible
A delegation, headed by President
Nienstedt, Of the German-American
Central bund; former Mayor Kiefer
and Otto Kueffner, will present the pc
tition and make arguments on the
proposition.

Marriage at st. Louis.

Hidden behind the matter of-fact
lines of a prosy marriage notice that
was printed in the st. P;.:SI papers two
weeks ago, there was a romance of the
stage. The formal notice merely an
nOunced the marriage at st. Louis, on

His mother is Mrs. N. NJ. Halbert,
who lives al 10 Floral avenue He has
two brothers. both of them engaged in

spoken to about it. But they We're
much together here, the little actress
and Mr.. Halbert, and when the COM

moved south, Mr.. Halbert had business

had nothing to do with the worlds

bridesmaids and the accessories of the

NOW SAYS HE LIVES
IN ST. ANGSTAR, IOWA
Old Man, Hurt by Train, Names An
other Place of Residence.

James Frazier, the aged man injured
by u Burlington train on Wednesday
evening and taken to the city hospital,
is still suffering severely.
1t has been concluded by the author
tiles at the hospital that the story
Frazier first told of his home being I'm
Faribault is not true, as investigation
has failed to result in any knowledge
upon the part Of Faribault residents OF
anyone answering the description Of
the injured man.
This conclusion IS also supported by
the fact that Frazier yesterday aroused
for a short time from his comatose
condition and informed his nurse that
he lived at St Angstar, Mitchell coun-
ty, Iowa, and that his father and
brother are in business at that place.
Investigation in that direction was be-
gun yesterday, but so far nothing has
been cleaned. His ultimate recovery
is looked for by the hospital physicians.

NO SUCH A THING
AS "CORN WHEAT
1t Is the Polish Wheat That Farmers
Are So Curious About

WASHINGTON, March 27.-The de
partment of agriculture reports that
an enormous number of letters is be-
ing received at the department from
farmers in all parts of the country
asking for definite information con-
corning d so-calIed new grain called
corn wheat" and usually at the some
time requesting samples for trial
These letters are the result of wide
ly published newspaper articles. The
department authorized the statement
that. there is no such thing as corn
brid of corn and wheat could be pro-
duced, or at any rate, one that would
be fertile. The grain which caused the
newspaper publications, the depart
ment says, is correctly known as Pol
ish wheat. The grain is not native to
Poland. It's original home probably is
in the Mediterranean region. The
newspaper reports, the department
says, are correct in saying that the
heads and grains of this wheat are
very large, all the grains being in many
case actually twice as large as those
of ordinary wheat. The statement that
it yields sixty to one hundred bushels
is, however, probably considerably ex-
aggerated, though there may be in
stances III Iuano ana washington
where there are always propOrtiOnately
large yields Of wheat in which the
yield may reach sixty to seventy five
bushels per acre. The experiments
made by the agriculture department
and by experiment stations show that
the yield is rather disappointing. From
experiments the inference would be
that the grain would be very good as a
hog food. Polish wheat is much re-
stricted in it's adaptation, and the de-
partment says could not be success
fully grown anywhere east of the Mis-
sissippi river, but only in the great
plains region, in Washington, Idaho,
Montana and other parts of the noun
tain and Pacific states, where grain is
usually grown. 1t has great resistance
to drought. The department of agri-
culture has no seed of the grain in
stock.
