-. >.~s: ~ 49,
-: CollegevStuderts.

Betting as a feature Of college life to be
classed with mandolin playing and other
harmless pursuits was condoned last night
by Walter Camp of Yale, who said at the
annual dinner Of the Yale club of Chicago,
given at the University club, that the
ranks Of the sports were not recruited
from university sportsmen. Gambling
among the Students he asserted, was not
SO much the result Of excitment over foot
ball games as it was the effect of exam
pies set by men or the business world.
"They say betting is one of the evils
of football" the athletic authority said,
land try to prove it by the fact that bet
ting has~increased lin college communities.
It is an inherent vice, and not the pro

cannot wonder that the boys at college
should be fired with certain emulation.
''Then they want the dangers eliminated
from football. We might, perhaps, amend
the rules so that ,the boys might not be
hurt, but 1t is doubtful whether the boys
would get as much out of the sport. You
cannot eliminate danger of the life of a
boy from the time he gets his first knife
or falls out of a cherry tree until he gets
to play golf There is no increase In the
so called evils of football.

BACK FROM WEST INDIES
w. B. Chandler Tells of Cruise En-
joyed by Minneapolitans on
'-I- - cH,E So -
80 the Steamer Moltke.

. d - . x al :. .
W. B. Chandler has just returned from
a twenty-five days cruise on the steamer
Moltke. OF the $50 passengers OH board
Mr.. Chandler had booked fortytwo. Not
thing 1narred the cruise. The days
were cloudless and the steamer sustained
it's reputation for being smooth sailer.
The trip was to the West Indies, Porto
Rico and Cuba. At Jamaica, John and
Miss Elizabeth Donaldson came aboard
and left the party at Havana. Only two
of the Minneapolitans have, as yet re-
turned. ~.
The most interesting sights were st.
Pierre and Mont Pelee emitting smoke
from Its riven side. The tourists had
several hours ashore. Although the cone
of the mountain could not be seen no
fear of immediate eruption was felt: Four
days after the party left, the mountain
became active, On all sides were bodies
OF the victims of the first disaster" not
yet removed Three armed soldiers. the
only Inhabitants. kept the passengers
from carrying skulls away. A fairly good
specimen was struggled to the boat, new
ertheless. A peculiar sight was a green
tree only a few feet from steel frame
building which was twisted all out Of
shape by the eruption.
Life on board the steamer was very
interesting. Everything was done to
amuse the tourists and the time passed
quickly.

MOVING OUT FLOUR.
Railroads Have Taken Out 1os,e7s
Barrels Within the Last
So Hours.
Coal Shipments Were Only 80 Tons
While Receipts Were
$3.50 Tons.

Although the railroads worked hard yes
terday and moved out Of the:city the larg-
est volume of general freight ever ham
died on a, legal holiday, the yards are not
Yet free Of congestion, and the situation
while improved, is still far from sJtsfac-
tory to shippers. The flour mills contn-
ued loading out yesterday and at the
mills there were 1896 barrels Of flour
loaded. This the roads hauled away and
they picked up many cars previously load
ed, but standing oh the track. From 6
o'clock on Wednesday evening to o'clock
this morning there had been shipped out
of Minneapolis 103,67S barrels Of flour,
about fifteen train loads. This is not a
new record for Minneapolis, but is more
flour than was produced in the time COW
cred, so that instead of dropping behind
by a few thousand barrels every day as
has been the case for a fortnight, the
roads not only took. care of all the flour
the mills gave them, but cleaned up odd
lots stalled at various points in and about
the city. 49, s-=s-z:
Very little coal was moved, only 80
tons going out of the city, while 1859 tons
came in! OF millstuffs there were $50,
900 lbs moved L. oil cake 1,292, 900 lbs, lin
seed oil 1910 barrels, lumber 1874 cars,
machinery 1929, 020 lbs, round lot guam
titles Of other specific merchandise and of
freight known as general merchandise in
Guiding only such minor articles as are not
separated 4025, 800 lbs. While it was in
no sense a big shipping day for Mime
apols, it was heavy for a holiday.
The general situation is tending towards
improvement. :Ifcthe roads can catch ur
again III some degree over Sunday, con
ditions next week will be much better
Cold weather would be a hindrance, as il
lessons the motive power of the 1ocomo-
tives and in that way retards the move:
ment of freight.SH

SERVED BY YOUNG MEN
Successful Banquet Takes Place at
the Fifth Avenue Congrega-
tional Church. :,

The fifth annual banquet and enter
tainment Of the. Young Mems club of the
Fifth Avenue Congregational church last
night lacked none of the popularity OF
former years. Between o'clock and
$50. 400 persons were fed in three relays.
The demand for dinner tickets was so
large that the entertainment in the
church auditorium did not begin until
nearly nine.
The entertainment was entitled: Elm
coin, the Greatest Man Since Paul." In
song verse, picture and story. It con-
sisted Of photograph numbers by c.. w.
Simmons. music and tableaux. The
music was by the Lincoln quartet: Paul
Bunce, George G. Roberts, E. M Jones
and Allen Jones. The soloists we're Mrs.
T. w. Fritc1ie and Mrs. William P.
Cowles. The young men did everything
in connection with the dinner and enter
tainment until it came to the represen-
>tation of scenes in the life of Lincoln,
when it was necessary to call upon the
young women of the church to assist.
Brayton Byron was the reader Of the
evening and in addition to Lincoln
stories he recited several Of the master
pieces in which he has met with former
successes.

WORE ANDREW CAP
Why Dr.. Hosmer Appeared in New

MAN Headpiece.
Left His Own Tile in Mr.. Carnegie's
Study and Accepted
Substitute.

member, alphabetically to another. DR..
James X Hosmer, the Minneapolis ar-
thor. had Just removed his cap in the
cloakroom of a New York city club, where.
after literary reunion, Dr. Hosmer was
to deliver an address upon a historical
theme.
The doctors erudition requires no ex-
cuses. His reputation has extended be-
You'd New York. His manners are no
less dignified than modest. But his cap,
his greenish-reddish-y ellowish, fuzzy,
plaid cap. might well have been Of the
West Western, or, from the wild, wild
woods. 1t was a very small cap, several
degrees 100 small for the doctors schol-
arly head. The visor of the cap fared
with an infantine frankness above the
wearer's serious face, his square cut
lessly as the doctor entered the club doors,
completed this sartorial anti-climax to the
correct dress suit below. 81.
DR.. Hosmer was conscious Of the sur
prise that he created. He blushed, but he
explained, as he removed his fuzzy crown,

DR.. Hosmer had just come from the
house Of Andrew Carnegie, where the

went up to Mr.. Carnegie's study or office

try to find the hat. He ran upstairs, made
a. perfunctory peek into the private office
and came back to announce, Think some

GILLEN rs SPAIN =,
Member of the. Dockery Gang Is
CHARGED With BURGLARY. @

When John Gillen, the man arrested by
Officer Cochran last Tuesday night while
in the act of breaking into the Washing
ton school building, was arraigned In
police court this morning OH charge
Of burglary, he was recognized by Clerk
P. S. Nelson as John P. Spain, ex-
member of the, notorious Dockery gang
and as an ex-conyict.' The name OH the
complaint was changed accordingly, and
Spain will have a hearing next Tuesday.
Spain is said to be bad character,
and is well known to the police. He
served a short sentence for stealing a
harness and the officers say that he has
been connected with the Dockery gang
but that they never secured sufficient
testimony against him in those cases.
Robert Kah. arrested by y Detective
Helm, was also arraigned on a burglary
charge, and his hearing was set for Mon

SONS TOLD ON HIM
Wallace Vests Sons Gave Informa-
tlon to a Secret Service
Officer.

Wallace West, 6o-year- old resident Of
Christie, Wis.,. is under Indictment for
counterfeiting. His present work Is the
result of two years Of work by Captain
j, w. Lawrence, United States secret
service gent at st. Paul. The old man
was arrested in 1900 on the charge of
passing counterfeit coin. He succeeded in
convincing the officials that he had re-
ceived the money, from his brother in
law, c. Z. Foreman, and upon his testi-
lnony that gentleman was indicted but
soon afterward eXonerated.
Captain Lawrence, was asked to inyes-
tigate the case at the time of Mr.. Fore
mans indictment. and has spent consid-
cradle time upon it since. He proved to
his own satisfaction that Foreman was
guiltless and finally secured evidence from
Vests two soes,= indicating that. the old
man had been engaged in the. wholesale
manufacture Of silver dollars and half
dollars.

MANDAN IS BOOMING
There Are Not Houses Enough, There t
Accori1rn odate the Growing
Formulation.

John Theis of Mandan, n. D., who is in
the city stocking up his store for summer
business, reports that there arc not houses
enough to take care of the new popula-
ton in his town. Not long ago nearly
everyone lived in rented houses. Now ev-
eryore owns his homestead and those who
rent are being forced out by the sale to
permanent owners.
The increase in the Importance of the
town Mr.. Theis ascribes to the influx Of
settlers and to the fact that the county in
which Mandan is situated produces more
wheat and flax to the acre and Of a better
quality than that produced in the famous
Red River Valley.
Mr. Theis has advertised for and hopes
to- take back with him experts in certain
lines of work in which Mandan is short
handed.

F. c. NIckels Talks Of Growth OF Other
Acknowledgements Unique

F. c. Nickeis of Nickels & Smith has. re-

.In Boston, in New York and even old
Cincinnati said Mr.. Niclels, 'I was
much struck with the disparity in i'm
proveplents between the business and res
idence4 districts. In. all Of these cities
property in the business parts. is being
advanced and improved by larger and
more substantial buildings, while in the
residence districts the growth is hardly
perceptible.
