ON THE TRAIL
OF P. ELLIOTT
Escaped Lunatic Who Tried to See
the President Is Heard
From. s--
Sheriff of Lincoln Wires That He
Has Man=No Additional
Word Yet. =


Peter Elliott, the crazed Minneapo-
lis reformer, who won notoriety and
lost his liberty thru his struggle with
the White House guards at Washing
ton, is probably in Lincoln county in
the extreme southwestern portion of
Minnesota.
Hennepin county authorities to-day
received report from DR.. Tomlinson,
superintendent of the hospital for the
insane at st. Peter, that several mes
sages had come to him from Lincoln
county indicating that Elliott was
there. One message was from the
village marshal at Tyler, who said
that man at that place had attracted
attention by his strange actiOn,and that
he was suspected of being Elliott.
DR.. TomlinsOn Immediately wired the
marshall to arrest the suspect at once.
Before any word was received in reply
to this message, another telegram
came from the sheriff of Lincoln coun-
ty at Lake Benton, stating definitely
that he was Elliott, but not saying
whether he was actually under arrest
or was simply under surveillance. A
third telegram was received from
Hendricks, in the northwestern
corner of Lincoln county, stating that
/ a man closely answering Elliott's de-
scription had been seen there.
Inasmuch as numerous pictures OF
Elliott appeared in all the twin city
/ papers at the time of his Washington
exploit, the facilities for identifying
the escaped lunatic are excellent, and
i the authorities believe that the right
man is actually in custody or soon
will be.

NURSE LEAVES

Two Others-Police Look for Trio.

Detectives are looking for three girls
who are believed to have committed a
daylight robbery at the residence of
A. Carson, 425 Madison street NE.
The leader of the trio is the woman
who was acting lin the capacity of a
trained nurse to Mr.. Carson's wife,
who is seriously i'll.
This woman, who came to Mime
apolis but a few days ago, using the
mantle of religion for protection and
the Union City mission, as voucher
for her good character, is we'll known
to the officers, as she has been in
trouble several times in northern Min
neSOta.
She came first to the city mission
and told pitiful story Of misfortune
prayed devoutly with the mission con-
gregation that night, and afterward
was sent to the home of a Mr.. Carson
She did her work exceedingly well
and had gained the respect of the
entire family.
Yesterday Mr.. Carson received a de-
coy note mmoning him to a friends
home, where his baby was being cared
for. When he returned several
valuable dishes were missing, together
with bedclothing, some of his wifes
dresses, her ring and furs. The nurse
and the domestic were also missing
and inquiry proved that the neigh bors
had seen them coming and going from
the house with bundles during Mr..
Carson's absence. When the girls
were last seen they were in company
with a girl, we'll known to the police
who lives in North Minneapolis.

MANKY BOB" NOT WANTED
MINNESOTA ATHLETIC MANAGE
MENT SAYS 1T HAS NOT TRIED
TO SECURE THE EX-CHAMPION,

The rumor that the Minnesota ath-
letic management Is negotiating with
FNitzsimm ons, with a view to securing
the ex-champion as trainer of the
gopher athletic teams, is denied by
DR.. H. L. Williams and Manager Bar
nard. Both say that the rumor is en-
tirely without foundation, and that the
Idea has not been entertained by the
board of athletic control, nor Is it
likely that the proposition will ever
be presented to that body. Fitzsim-
mons is without experience in train
ing football men, and it is doubtful
whether he would be able to do the
work, even were it deemed advisable
to hire a professional pugilist.
THE whole story is false" said DR..
Williams. IT'S a. fake, pure and sim
pie, and not worthy of notice.
The story was received by T h e
J o u n a | simply as a rumor, and
was printed as such. No action has
vet been taken by Minnesota in re-
gard to the selection of a trainer for
next years football team.

REFUSED TO
lNDORSE DUNN
FOUR MEETINGS CALLED FOR
THAT PURPOSE FAILED TO ACT.
Those Present Split About Even on
the Proposition-Dum Was in the
City, but Did Not Attend the Meet
in~s

Efforts to line up a number of
prominent Hennepin county repub-
leans for r. G. Dunn as a, candidate
for governor have been thwarted, and
his organization still lacks a nucleus.
-Four distinct meetings have been
called to discuss the question. From
twelve to twenty prominent repub-
licans who have been more or less
associated in the past few years at
tended these meetings. At each meet
ing an effort was made to get all to
agree to stand together and support
Dunn. Each time about one-half of
those present were ready to cut loose
and come out for Dunn. The other
half demurred. SO the effort at in
dorsement failed.
Those who object to indorsing Dunn
have not come out for Collins, and
may not favor him. Some of them
want Eustis. if he is going to be a
candidate. However, they think it is
too early to de up to Dunn. Some
are ardent supporters of Senator Nell
son, and they will not stand for Dunn
until he has declared himself for Nell
son and Clapp.
According to information that
comes to The Journal, the
meetings were called by James A.

NO TROUBLE THERE
All Is Harmony Between the Typographi.
cal Union and Employing
Job Printers

Mondays J o a contained state
ment that the typographical union was
having trouble with certain employing lob
printers whom it had refused the use OF
the union label unless they joined the
union, provided they wished to set type
themselves.
John Hays, general organizer for the
typographical union, explains that no such
trouble exists between his organization
and any employing job printers The re-
port originated in the fact that one non
union shop wished to retain the use OF
the union label until the proprietor could
decide whether he would join the unior
or not. This matter does not concern the
typographical union at all, as it is the
Allied Printing Trades council which con
trolls the use Of the union label and will
which this employer had been negotiat
ing. The only restrictions imposed by tn.
typographical union upon the setting o
type by an employer is that he shall no
use the union label upon work performet
by him unless he is a member of tn,
union.

In Address at Commercial Club, He
Declares that Effect of the Measure

Work Now Under Way.

George H. Maxwell of Chicago, ex-
ecutive chairman Of the National Irri-
CATION association, was entertained at
luncheon this noon at the CONNER
cial club by delegates to the last ma
tional conference at Ogden. Later
Mr.. Maxwell addressed for an hour

Of Irrigation"
At the luncheon were delegates to
the 1902 congress at Colorado Springs

from the last congress in Utah. They
were: President John Leslie of the

is on his way west to take up the irr1-
cation work under the direction OF the
association. Messrs. Phelps and Dun
woody attended the Colorado Springs
congress year ago.
Mr.. Maxwell was introduced by
President John Leslie of the club. He
spoke Of the confusion that has arisen
bill, which provides that all reclama-
ton funds collected in any state or
territory must be spent. on Irrigation
works within it. He says that he is
opposed to the McCumber bill, but
believes that SO far as is possible the
idea should be put in practice of
spending the reclamation fund In the
states where it is collected.
If the McCumber bill became law
s.+o 1y1r an,
TENS in which the National Irrigation
association is greatly interested, and
would cause a dislocation of practi-
cally all of the plans that have so far
been made If, however, the funds
are spent, as nearly as natural condl-
lions will permit, in the states In
| which they are raised, the states or
territories that contribute little or
nothing to the fund will be compelled
| to appeal to congress for direct ap-
preparations for their works. Ihese
appeals will lead, in time, to the I'M
dertaking of those great irrigation
works that are far beyond the realm
But to make the law rigid on this
point Of spending the money where
It is received would paralyze all work
now under way.
Mr.. Maxwell will leave tonight fol
| Duluth to address Commercial club
meeting after dinner tomorrow
Fargos interest in irrigation is shown
by the fact that the citizens appointed
a committee, members Of which are
attending all of these meetings. H. c
Plumley was at st. Paul yesterday

in Minneapolis to-day and L. B. Hanna
will be in Duluth tomorrow. Owa
