DUDE OF THE WORKH0USE
Henry Moseley Is Best Dressed Man
Ever Sent There.

The distinction of being the best dressed
man who ever entered the. Minneapolis
worShouse is claimed for Henry Moseley
the colored keeper of a club on Nicollet
avenue near the central police station,
who was yesterday convicted Of keeping
a gambling house and who was sentenced
to sixty days in the worlkhouse.
Clad in a fine business suit of the latest
style, and with a valuable diamond shining
upon the immaculate bosom Of his shirt,
he elbowed his way among the prisoners
i'm the. 'black Maria and went.to the
Camden Place institution to pound rock
for two months. @t-.
he made a motion through his attorney
for a stay Of fifteen days to 8 appeal.
Judge Holt denied the motion and in
formed the attorney if stay was de-
sired it would have to be granted by the
supreme court. He then directed Clerk
Nelson to issue the commitment with
out delay and refused Moseley permits
sion to return to his room to change his
clothing. Within twenty minutes from
the time the sentence was imposed Nose
ley was on his way to the Workhouse.
Judge Hollis severity was due to the
testimony given by the defendant, which
to- the court appeared to- be pure fabrica-
ton. Moseley told the court that he did
not allow gambling in his place and that
when he came into the room and found
anyone egambling, he made them stop
| without delay.
Moseley has been in bad standing with
| the police for several weeks. Not long
! ago, it is claimed, some stolen property
I was found in his possession and Chic
and sent a defiant answer to the chief
Officers were set to watch him and las
week he was arrested upon a charge o
keeping a gambling house.

A BETTER NAVY
Captain Hobson Tells Why It Is
Necessary. ~

Captain Richmond Peary Hobson, of
Merrimac fame, who will lecture to-mor-
row night at Plymouth church upon ''The
Navy and the Nation" is at the West
Hotel Since resigning from the army,
Captain Hobson has also been forced to
give up the scientific work to which he
wished to devote his time, and he is now
upon lecture tour, advocating the up
building of the United States navy. >
america should be the foremost naval
power In the world said Captain Hob
son. with our vast coast line, the prob
lem of defense in case of war becomes q
serious one. Our eastern possessions and
our interest in Chinese trade may at any
time be the occasion Of a dispute with
some foreign power, and the enforcement
Of the Monroe doctrine in South Amer
lea may involve us In a war II we have
no navy. If we have a strong navy, we
shall be in no danger Of war.
England, France and Russia excel the
United States in their naval strength now,
and Germany is just about. on a par with
u.s. But Germany is building rapidly and
will soon pass us unless we take decided
steps to increase our naval forces. That
is the most serious phase of the problem,
because at present Germany seems more
likely thar. any other power to come to
blows with America ~,

TO SHUT out JOINTS
Residents Of Third and Fourth
Wards, Would, Control Kee-
gan's Lake Resorts.
Their Plan Is to Extend City Limits,
Thus Securing Police Reg
lation.

Residents of the western districts of
the third and fourth wards are interested
In a movement which they hope will sound
the death knell Of the tough Keegan's lake
resorts. The legislature is to be asked to
authorize the extension OF, the western
boundaries Of the third and fourth wards
so as to include within the city limits
all of Keegan's like and such respectable
margin on either side, as will make 1t
impossible for saloons or road houses to
find a lodging, in that vicinity.
An extension of the western boundary
line of the fourth ward from Chestnut ave
nut to line corresponding to Eighth ave
nue. N in. the third ward would include
the desired territory.
The Oak Park Improvement League OF
the third ward, and the West End I'm
provement association Of the fourth ward
are said to be about to join issues In fur
therance Of the scheme.
Keegan's lake has had the reputation OF
being one Of the most disreputable re-
sorts about Minneapolis. Saloons located
just beyond the city limits on Sixth and
Western avenues. now do thriving Dusl-
ness. day and night. and, Of course, utter
lily disregard the legal restrictions with
which city refectories are hedged about.
The places are bad enough in winter, put
it is in the summer that their dlsreputable
nature is emphasized, for they are then
frequented by absolute characters OF both
sexes and scenes too disgraceful Tor oe-
scription are frequently witnessed along
the highways, which would otherwise form
pleasant drives.
! Those back of the movement explain

do with preventing the growth OF thai

ically, and drawled, "Howdy Cole" The

ateur and not an actor. He will remain

Washington. Feb. 17.-At the cabinet

1t is impossible, even if the treaty

option. 1t is proposed however, to en-
