DOORS SHUT ON
FREEZING Man
TOUGH PREDICANIENT OF A
STRANGER IN MINNEAPOLIS.
Lost in the Residence District at
Night, He Was in Serious Condition
Before He Could Find Hospitable
i Strangers to Take Him In.

With kind-hearted people and warm
houses all around him, a we'll dressed
man with money in his pocket and
perfectly sober may yet freeze to death
in Minneapolis. To be lost in the resi-
dence district Of a strange city on a
cold night is as bad as being lost in
a forest.
Last Saturday night young man
arrived in Minneapolis from Chicago
on a late train. He came here to
seek employment, but he had some
money and was well dressed and of
good appearance. In looking for a
residence in the southeastern part of
the city, he became lost about 2
o'clock in the morning, could find no
2hotel and was gradually being over
come by the intense cold. Realizing
his desperate predicament he applied
for admission to a dozen private
houses, but at all but one the door
was slammed in his face. At that one
he was admitted barely long enough
for the man of the house to give him a
drink of whisky to warm him up. just
able to stagger forward, he tried one
more house. He knew that if he could
not get in he would die on the porch
because he did not have strength
enough to go farther and had about
arrived at the stage when the freez-
ing man doesn't care what happens.
At this house, that of Hugh N. Al
len, he was fortunately admitted, Mrs.
Aliens mother not being able to re-
sist the young mans piteous petition:
For Gods sake let me in to get
warm. I'm freezing to DEATH"
He was wrapped up in a blanket,
placed on a couch near register and
warmed UP with hot coffee. He soon
revived sufficiently to tell his story,
tho not without great Embarrassment.

DR.. HALL MUCH INCENSED
HEALTH OFFICER REPLIES TO
CHARGE THAT HE NEGLECTED
SUPPOSED CASE OF SMALLPOX.

DIR. p. M. Halls hair and mustache
just scintillated fire this morning when
he read in a morning paper that he
had refused to act in the case of SuS-
pected smallpox which was headed for
this city, and that the patient had been
without attention from the health de-
partment for a long time.
The police records show that DR..
Hall was notified of the expected ar
rival of the smallpox suspect at 1926
this morning, just twenty minutes be-
fore the train was due at the depot.
1t was impossible for him to get an
ambulance to the depot or to get there
himself by the time the train arrived.
to send a, man to the train to watch it
and to advise the conductor, if the
patient was isolated in a car, to take
the. car on to st. Paul, the terminal
point, where it could be set out, quar-
antined and fumigated to better ad-
vantage than here. 1t is the general
rule in such cases that the terminal
point takes the case under it's care.
The conductor would not hear of
the suggestions and put the patient off
at Minneapolis. The police officers
escorted, the man to the city, hospital,
where he was placed in the detention
room for the quarantine hospital.
DR.. Hall was notified Of this fact
the city hall. The patient did not
have smallpox, but some harmless
skin disease, and was released.
Having looked up the police records,
DR.. Hall Immediately prepared to
make it interesting for the morning
paper in question, which, he says has
maliciOuSly- maligned. him.

st. Paul has been good to Minnie,
or Minnie has been good to herself.
She has got, to-day, the finest carriage

fine carriages a beautiful Brougham.
The colorings are black and gold. The

nothing but the best, and he is offer
Ing it to them. He is kept busy most
of the time showing it to his many
friends.
The vehicle was purchased Of w.

HITCH COMES
IN The PROGRAM
COLLINS RESIGNATION is DE-
FERRED FOR SOME DAYS. -
Vacancy in the Office of Attorney
General is Giving Trouble-Strong
Opposition to the Claims of Dona-
hower-Board of Control Vacancy
Also Being Considered.

There is hitch in proceedings at
the capitol, and Judge Collins has
not resigned. 1t is not certain that
he will do so before the last Of the
week.
The hitch seems to be over the ap-
pointments of a successor to- Attorney
General Douglas. Strenuous protests
have been made against w. j. Dona-
hover, and it is rumored that other
names have been under consideration
Mr.. Donahower takes the ground that
he is entitled to the appointment, and
as a candidate for the nomination
next summer is not required to tie up
to either element in the gubernatorial
fight. This does not suit some of the
governors friends, who insist that
DOnahower should do something for
Collins in Ramsey county, in return
for such a favor as he asks. This
is one Of the complications that arises.
1t Is believed that there are others.
There Is talk Of M. H. Boutelle OF
Minneapolis for the appointment,
based on the fact that he called on
Governor Van SAINT yesterday. Mr..
Boutelle's visit was in the interests Of
Judge Elliott, and he is not a candi-
date for appointment himself. No
other candidates are mentioned. The
attitude of e. T. Young is giving some
Trouble. ne IlOluS tIaL no Cd1uludlc
for attorney general ought to be given
an appointment. 1t has been sug-
gested that G.. w. Somerby, the attor-
ney generals other assistant, be given
the appointment, but when this came
to Mr.. Somerby's ears he promptly put
a stop to 1t.
It Is understood that Attorney Gem
eral Douglas favors Donahower for
his successor.
J. F. Jacobson is said to be willing
to accept an appointment on the board
Of control, but he has not made a. for
NAL application for 1t, and G.. N. Cos
grove is thought to be a more likely
selection. Other. names are under
consideration, and a dark horse may
take Martin place.
S. W. Leavitt of the board Of con-
troll denies the rumor that he con-
templates resigning, which started in
the Princeton Union.
Visitors were numerous at the CAPT
tol to-day. Among them were Gus
Widell and l.. P. Hunt Of Mankato,
Senator Schultz of Marshall and Sem
ator Cowan Of Sandstone.

PROBING The
GAME CASES
GRAND JURY EXAMINES STATE
GAME WARDEN AS WITNESS.
Another Indictment Against Joseph
Cohen, This One Charging a Mis-
demeanor, Is Said to Be a Posi-
bility-But 1t May Not Come From
Present Jury.

Violations of the game law were
the subject of an investigation by the
grand jury, which met this morning
after weeks recess. State Game
Warden Sam Fullerton, Deputy Game
Warden j. G. Williams and Frank
Hale, one of the legal advisers of the
state game and fish commission, were
among the witnesses subpoenaed. The
cases against +. 0. Tilton and George
Besser for having game out of season
appear to be very strong.
Other Jail and petty cases will be
taken up this afternoon and possibly
tomorrow morning. The jury's final
report is now in the course Of prepar-
alton and will probably be given to
the judge before another adjourn
ment is taken.
A rumor is to the effect that an
other indictment for misdemeanor
may be found against Joseph Cohen,
IT Judge Simpson quashes the last
Indictment returned against the much
indicted Ames lieutenant. There have
been none of the regulation Cohen
witnesses subpoenaed however, and
it is not likely that anything will be
done by this jury. :

VERY CLEVER "JAPS"
One OF the Features OF the Show
at the Dewey This
Week


The Japanese are popularity supposed to
be the best acrobats in the world The
feats Of the troupe from the mikado's
realm which is performing at the Dewey
theater this week with Harry Bryant S
company of burlesquers, confirm the the
Org. All Of their tricks are startling, and
some are really marvellous. The fact that
two Of the cleverest of the six performers
are mere children makes the turn the more
remarkable. To quote a hackneyed phrase
of the press agent, this act itself is well
worth the price Of admission.
The other numbers of the olio are all
clever. Darmody performs some really re-
markable feats in Juggling guns and Ind
ian clubs. Casmore and Florence present
a German dialect skit which keeps clear
of the more ancient features Of such spe-
cialties. The Rackets have a, clever
and novel turn which Introduces singing,
dancing, and clever scenic effects and a few
acrobatic tricks. Kennedy and Cameron
are entertaining in a comedy musical turn
Mr.. Kennedy's ;four-act one-actor drama
makes hit
The burlesquers are hardly up to the
standard of the olio. tho the chorus Is
large, comedy, and weIl-costumed The
musical numbers are mediocre and the
comedians are not stars in their line

MEET AFTER 80 YEARS
VARIOUS BRANCHES OF AN OLD
IRISH FAMILY. WILL BE RE
UNITED IN MINNEAPOLIS. f..

a reunion shortly to be held in Min
neapolis will bring together branches
of "a large Irish family which became
separated on the banks of the Lakes
Of Killarney thirty-eight years ago on
account of romance in which the
youngest son was involved.
This son was Thomas Welsh, who
wrote the police from st. Louis a few
days ago. asking them to find his sis
ter, who, he thought. was living in
Minneapolis, and whom he had not
seen for seventeen years. This morn
ing Miss Irene Lyons, 2001 Fourth
avenue S. went to headquarters and
told Ed Conner, secretary of police,
that her mother was the missing sister.
Mrs. Lyons left her home in Kerry
county, Ireland. thirty-eight years
ago and came to America, settling
with her husband in st. Louis. Short
1y. after her departure Thomas, the
youngest son, disappointed his par
ents by marrying the daughter of a
minister of a, different faith. He, too,
came to America and lived in st.
Louis.
Seventeen years ago the aged moth
err sent word to her son that she
wanted him to return and see her once
more. While Thomas Welsh and his
wife were in Ireland, his sister and
her family moved away. When he
returned he could find no trace OF
them.
The mother in Killarney, now 101
years old, who has not seen her
daughter for thirty eight years nor her
son for seventeen years. is coming to
America in a few weeks to see them
and her grandchildren. The other
children have in the meantime come
to America, and a, genuine Kerry
county reunion is promised when all
meet here after their long separation
