German American Veterans Have a
Suggestion for the School Board.

The German American Veterans
association, at its meeting yesterday
afternoon, resolved that the board Of
matter of naming one of the public
schools, the building of which Is at
present contemplated, after the great
German soldier, who SO ably aided the
struggling colonists in their fight for
ndependence-Baron Won Steuben.
Baron Won Steuben was major gen
eral under Washington, inspector gen
eral of the young army, drill master of
the troops, the hero of Yarmouth and
the founder and father of the West
Point Military school. He 1t was who
fortified the harbors of New York and
Philadelphia. The proposition was
unanimously accepted and passed and
committee, consisting of Col A. r.
Kiefer, Adam Bohland and Joseph
Berger, was named to present the res
olution to the board of education at the
very earliest opportunity.
A great amount of business was
transacted, especially marking the
wind-up of the Lincolns birthday cell
ebration. Votes of thanks were passed
TO all who SO Willingly participated in
that entertainment, and a special vote
of thanks was moved by Capt. Ber-

was no trouble in the nelghborhoOd.
He also informed Sergeant Christian
that the young man had telephoned
from his place of business.
No sooner had Albachten rung off
than another message was received
from Jungwirth, this time from Wal
frOms drug store, at Kent ana Ed
mund streets. A policeman was sent
to Walfrom's place and arrested Jung
wirth as he was leaving the store. The
patrol wagon was called and Jungwirth
was taken to the Rondo station. He
admitted having called up the police,
saying that he thought It would be
great fun to call out the wagon on
fake riot alarm. He is charged with
disorderly conduct.

GOES BACK AGAIN
AFTER DR.. AMES
Sheriff Dreger Leaves Once
More for New Hamp-
shire.

Sheriff Dreger left last night TO,
Hancock, N. H., for the purpose Of
bringing back former Mayor A. A.
Ames, who is wanted in this city to
answer several indictments.
The sheriff is determined that DR..
Ames shall return with him unless his
physical condition is such that it will
be dangerous to have him moved at
the present time. If it is necessary to
have the patient examined by eX-
pertS and they decide it unWise to at
tempt to bring him back in his pres
ent condition, it is probable the sheriff
will wait until there is an improve
ment in his health.
He will not leave DR.. Ames after he
is turned over to his keeping on March
b, but will remain in the Chaplin house
with him until he is ready to return
home or give up the ghost.
The sheriff is of the opinion that DR..
AmeS is Shamming, and that he is not
as sick as he and his friends pretend,
and also that he is not in the impover
ished condition he has represented
himself to be by living with relatives
who are not financially able to render
him any assistance.
Some persons are asking, where is
the money with which to hire United
States District Attorney G.. J. Ham
plett to defend him, coming FROM 1t
is assured that Mr.. Hamblett is no
cheap man." and must have received
good retaining fee, else he wouldn't be
taking the great interest in the case
which 1T is claimed he has done.
1t is said the only obstacle in the
way OF DR.. Ames returning to the city
voluntarily is the position taken by his
wife. She has said that she would not
permit him to return and will no doubt
use every means in her power to pre-
vent it.
1t is possible that Sheriff Dreger
will be compelled to wage a bitter ie-
gal fight before he can bring DR.. Ames
to Minneapolis. Before he left last
night he said he had engaged competent
counsel and if legal fight was neces-
sary he was prepared for 1t.

HE SEES THE PATROL
WAGON MAKE A RUN
But 1t Gathers in the Man Who Gave
Three False Alarms.

Robert Jungwirth, of 400 Lafond
street young man twenty-one years
OF age, was anxious to see the patrol
wagon make run last night. Shortly
before o'clock Jungwirth. is said to
have telephoned to the Rondo police
station that there was Il riot at Thorn
as and Dale streets, and requested
Sergeant Christian to send a large de-
tail of police to squelch the fight.
Within a few moments another call
was received, urging the police to
make haste, for the lives of several
men were endangered. Sergeant
Christian took but little stock in the
wild rumor as the patrolman on the
Dale street beat had rung in his call
few moments previous.
AS a means of precaution, however,
Christian decided to send a man to
the corner designated in the telephone
message, but before the policeman left
the station A. J. Albachten. a saloon
keeper at 500 North Dale street, tele-
phoned to the Rondo police that there

house, to accompaniment of much pub
licity and without any visible or in
visible opposition There is no reason
for believing that it's passage was en-
couraged by the president or diScoGr-
aged by Rockefeller. All the real OPP
position-those famous kilograms from
the Standard Oil magnates-were di-
rected against that comparatively in
significant (seemingly) publicity bur-
eau which had been tackled on to the
department. commerce bill.
In the senate the Littlefield bill fell
into the hands of the judiciary COM
mittee, where it was amended by the
addition of half a dozen very radical
trust-busting provisions, drawn most
ly by the Democratic members of the
committee, and approved by such dis
gruntled Republican trust-busters as
Hoar, Nelson and McComas, and thus
altered was recommended to the SER
ate and placed on the calendar.
The Littlefield bill, thus amended,
has become a political football, to be
kicked from one side of the chamber
to the other, but with no serious legis-
latiVe intent. The Democrats want it
(officially). Littlefeld says he wants
it. Nelson processes to believe that
he would like to have the party go
farther. But all the time everybody
knows and always has known that
there is no possibility for the bill to
become a law
Such briefly, is a history of Lit
tlefield's connection with antitrust
among those radicals who are demand
ing more than the administration asks.
Four Conclusions.
In judging of Mr.. Littlef1eld. and his
legislative efforts the facts compel one
Of the following conclusions:
First-Either Littlefiell suffered
pride of legal opinion to divide him
from the administration, leading him
to espouse the constitutionality of his
own language, at whatever cost to the
programme of the party.
Second-Or Littlefield had no conf
dence in the honest purpose of Knox
and President Roosevelt, but chose to
assume himself the role of peoples
champion against the trusts.
Third-Or he acted deliberately in
the interest of the trusts, knowing the
bill to be defective and intending 10
betray the battle to the enemy.
Fourth Or he weakly permitted
himself to be made tool of the trusts,
who calculated to use him to defeat
hostile legislation.
Those best acquainted with the
statesman from Maine are the least
pose. They own to a stubbornness in
his disposition and some pride of opin-
ion not uncommon among lawyers.
His friends believe he was unfairly
treated in being led on and encour-
aged to become the administration
spokesman and representative in the
house of representatives.; and, then,
because he wished to become the au-
thor Of a law which would be eff
fective, was discarded and repudiated.
Some go so far to say that the presi-
dent was deceived by certain designing
senators into accepting gold brick"
trust legislation and that Littlefield
was repudiated because he declined to
be party to the transaction.
The feeling between the administra-
ton and Mr.. Littlefield has not reach
ed the point of an open rupture. 1t is
likely to do so; and, in the thrashing
out process, new facts may be devel-
oped which will put a different light
on the matter.

CONFERENCE AGREEMENT
KILLS HOMESTEAD BILL
Rejected Senate Provision Leaves Law

WASHINGTON, D. c., March l.
The conference agreement on the
Alaskan homestead bill presented to-
day in the house strikes out the sem
ate provision prohibiting the use of
soldiers additional homestead rights in
Alaska, leaving the law as it now ex-
lists. 1t limits the use of scrip to tracts
not exceeding $50 acres and reserves
from such location along navigable or
other waters tracts of not less than
eighty rods in width between such en-
tries. The amendment of the senate
as to Communication of homesteads is so
modified that while homesteads of $50
acres may be taken, only $50 acres
may be committed. The senate amend
ment relative to surveys is substan-
TALLY accepted.

WASHINGTON, d. c., March 1.-The
development of commercial relations
between Porto Rico and the United
States since the transfer of that island
to the control of this country has been
phenomenal. The people of Porto Rico
now find a market in the United States
for five times as much of their prod
ucts as they did in 1897, the year pre-
ceding that transfer; and the people
of the United States find q market in
Porto Rico for more than five times as
much of their products as in 1897. Some
figures just compiled by the treasury
bureau of statistics covering the COM
merce between the United States and
Porto Rico in the calendar year 1902
and compared with the figures of pre-
ceding years fully sustain this asser-
ton. They show that the value Of
merchandise shipped from Porto Rico
to the United States in 1902 was So
634,116, against 81 ,943, PSI in 1897: and
that the valued of merchandise shipped
from the United States to Porto Rico
in 1902 was $12,195,297, against $2,023,-
751 in 1897.
The table which follows shows the
total value of merchandise sent from
Porto Rico to the United States in each
calendar year from 1897 to 1902, and
that of merchandise sent from the
United States to Porto Rico in each

About cuhans and Music.

EFF there's any truth in what Shakes
peare says about the man who has no
music in his SOUL" said Lieutenant
George Culver, who has seen service
in Cuba. both in the army and out,
"the Cubans will always be fit for
treasons, strategems and spoils.' They
have less of what one might call in
diginous music than any other peo-
pie have ever seen. The Spaniards
are essentially MUSICAL; So are the
Mexicans. In Mexico one hears not
only Spanish music. but 'greaser'
songs, in which the Indian weirdness
comes out strong.
But over in Cuba everything is
borrowed. The native Cuban sings
less than the average American when
he works. He doesn't begin to sing as
much as the Southern negro does.
He does not seem to originate melo-
dies. His dance music. even, is not
his own. The genius of the Cuban
does not lean toward concord of
sweet sounds, and that lack in him
may account for the great difference
between the Cuban and the Mexican
character"
