ative, but Mayor Smith, it is under

THEY WANT A RAISE
Employees of Court House Ask
for Increase of SIS a Month.

Because rents are soaring and the
necessaries of life are high, twenty five
of the twenty-nine janitors and en-
ployes of the city hall and court house
commission, asked that body for a
raise of SIS each on the month yesterday
afternoon.
They ought to have it," said Com
missioner Moriarty, when the petition
was read. Il move that We grant the
petition" he added.
I'm with you there, but will our APP
preparation stand it?" cautioned Mayor
Smith.
There was some doubt about it, and
on the suggestion of Commissioner
Buschmann the entire matter was laid
over until an investigation could be
had.
All employees of the commission now
receive $55 month, including the ele-
vator operators, but of late they have
become dissatisfied with their stipend.
The scheme of a raise was started last
week, and though it will entail an adj
ditional expense of $500 a year on the
commission, the majority of the mem
bers favor it if their appropriation will
stand it. If necessary some of the con-
templated improvements to the several
offices will be abandoned.
John Saam, who answers to the title
of court house carpenter was made
happy with raise of SO a month. He
now gets SIS, the same as the others.
1t was explained that he was. par
ticularly valuable man.
The question of rooms in the fourth
floor of the court house for the use OF
the school board was touched upon, but
nothing was done. Action was deferred
until later meeting.

PROTESTS AGAINST
LOSING HIS JOB
Discharged Courthouse Janitor
Declares He Controls 1 200
Votes of CoIored People.

Edward Jackson, of African eXtrac-
ton and late a janitor in the employ of
the city hall and court house commits
sion, was angry yesterday afternoon.
Custodian CramSie, of the city hall
and court house, had filled his place
with another colored man, also named
Jackson, and the commission refused to
interfere and reinState Jackson No. l.
Lets hear from Mr.. Jackson" said
Commissioner Pottgeiser. Il am inter-
ested in this case, for he tells me that
an injustice has been done.''
"WeI, it's jes dis way explained
Jackson, as he leaned over the railing
and critically scrutinized the commits
sion. 'Ize been sick. Ebery day fo' de
las six weeks I'ze ben very SICK" and
now when ize ready to go to work l
finds mother eullud man in my place.
"Now, faint fair" continued Jackson

Guided Jackson, in an aggrieved voice,
"'cause. lie been of value to de party.
lie willing to do ma work. It's all be-
cause lie had trouble with my WIFE"
Custodian Cramsie here interrupted
to say that he had more trouble with
Jackson than any other man In his
employ HE won't do, and I don't want
him about me- said Mr.. Cramsie.
On this explanation the custodian's
action in discharging Edward Jackson,
colored, and substituting Claude Jack
son, also colored, in his place, was ap-
proved, and Mr.. Jackson walked out
into the corridor to tell the other jan
itors all about it.

THE STRONGHOLD BURGLAR
Puts New Alarm Device on All Fed
eral Building Safes.

The festive burglar, who Hampers
with the safes and vaults in the big
federal building from now on will think
he has run into a hornets nest.
For the better protection Of the big
amounts of money and valuable papers
that are housed in the several dozen
strong boxes that form a part Of the
equipment Of the big building, Uncle
Sam is having the vaults enclosed in
electrical cabinets.
The cabinet is wooden casing and
is so wired that when penetrated by a
tool from the outside or disturbed by
dynamite an alarm is set off in the po-
lice station Or the offices Of the A. d.
T., the owners of the patent. Even
tampering with the, outside lock will
cause an alarm. -s-< 70
The device is in use in many banks
and is being put in all the buildings
owned by the United States. The pro-
lection afforded will cost Uncle Sam
$3.50 year. for royalty on the appli-

SAYS FARMER STOLE
HIS OWN HORSE
Sheriff Justus Arrests Wealthy
Agriculturist Who Threatens
to Make Him Trouble.


w. P. Vietsch, wealthy and promi-
nent farmer and land owner, whose
home is near Rush City, was brought to
St Paul yesterday on warrant sworn
out by Sheriff p C. Justus, who charg-
es Vietsch with horse stealing.
The arrest was made by Deputy
Sheriff Reichow, who brought Vietsch
to st. Paul, where he was released on
$500 bonds when arraigned before
Judge Hine yesterday afternoon.
Vietsch Indignantly denied the charge.
His hearing was set for Sept. 5.
The arrest of Vietsch grows out of
the mysterious disappearance of one
of his own horses from Shea's barn, on
Fifth street early this week.
Vietsch brought the horse to st. Paul
two weeks ago and placed it in the care
of Oscar Scott, but after Scott had
possession of the horse a few days,
there is said to have arisen some trou-
BILE over a settlement and Vletsch, IN
order to get possession of the horse,
which is valuable animal, sued out
writ of replevin, which was served by
Sheriff Justus, who took charge of the
horse pending the settlement of the re-
plevin suit. Sheriff Justus placed the
horse in Shea'S barn, from which place
he charges -Vietsch with taking it.
According to the story told by the
employees at Shea's barn, man called
there Tuesday and secured possession
of the horse, representing that he
wanted to take it to a, blacksmith and
have it shod. The horse has not been
seen since it was taken from the barn
that day.
Sheriff Justus, who was In legal pos
session of the animal, was informed OF
it's disappearance, and after an investi-
cation sWore out the warrant charging
Vietsch with stealing the horse. Vietsch
was not known to the people at Shea S
barn, but the sheriff says he has sufh-
cient proof to convince him that it was
Vietsch who took the horse from the
barn.
On the contrary, Vietsch denies the
charge and declares most emphatically
that he did not take the horse and that
he has no knowledge of it's present
whereabouts. He was very indignant
at his arrest on such a serious charge
and intimated that he would yet cause
Sheriff Justus trouble.
Mr.. Vietsch is the owner of large
farm near Rush City and is said to be
highly respected in the community in
which he lives He also owns three
other farms and is reputed to be worth
more than $4,000.
Every precaution was made yester-
day to keep the arrest of Vietsch a Sc
cret but the story leaked out when he
was arraigned in court. :.

N. D. FARMERS SEND
REQUEST FOR HELP
Say They'll Lose Much Grain If They
Can't Get Men.

There is a scarcity of help in the
North Dakota harvest fields and the
local employment agencies have been
appealed to by the farmers. In the
Devils Lake district the scarcity is
acute.
The officials of the Great Northern
road yesterday received appeals for
help. The letter, which was from the
Farmers Grain and Shipping commits
sion of Devils Lake, stated that the
situation was critical and that unless
more hands were secured many thou
sands of bushels of grain would be lost.
Because of the high wages now pre-
vafling in the cities and the heavy
demand for men, the move to the mar
vest fields this year has not been as
heavy as usual. Fancy prices have
to be paid to get harvest help.
