RE COULDN'T BREAK IN
Chas. Fisk Beach, Jr., Fails to Secure
Recognition in Merger
Case.

Dispatches from Washington an
nounce that Charles Fisk Beach, Jr.,
of New York, has made another fu-
tile endeayor to break into the mer-
ger litigation. This time he appeared
in the role of would-be adviser to the
supreme court. which gently but firm
ly indicated that it would decide the
case on the evidence and the argu-
ments Of the opposing counsel.
4. A. Hochlin, Jr., Washington
attorney, made application to the
court to allow his friend BeaNl to file
a brief in the case of Minnesota
against the Northern Securities com
pany as "amicus curiae,,' which being
translated means friend of the
court Such an application is very
rarely made before the supreme court
but 1t was accorded courteous consid,
Grafton. Chief Justice Fuller disposed
of 1t yesterday, gravely announcing il
open court that the application hat
been dismissed. The announcement
caused a ripple of amusement to rul
about the courtroom.
Mr.. Beach has taken a great inter
est in the case from the start, and ha
held very opposite views at differen
| times, according to circumstances.

STRONG IN THE oLI0
This Feature Of the moonlight Maids" al
the Dewey Is Particularly
Good

the Dewey iS$rartiCu'dFy
Good.
It can be properly said of the attraction
offered by the management of the Dewey
this week that the quality of the two bur-
lesuues is sacrificed to the excellence OF
the olio.
Neither in wit, histrionic ability, nor
number and beauty Of the chorus do the
two burlesques offered by ''The Moon
light Maids company compare favorably
with those produced by other companies
which have come over the Empire circuit
to the popular little playhouse.
The lines are not brilliant and they are
not original and they do not beneht by the
conception given them by the cast. The
two redeeming features Of this part OF the
program are the excellent taste and va
riety shown in the costuming of the rather
small chorus and the good voice and hgure
Of Toma Hanlon.
The olio, is however, especially strong.
Marie Rogers, who never fails to catch on
with her coon shouting and responds to re-
peated and insistent calls, heads the list
Some new ideas in musical specialties are
successfully introduced by Frederick
Bros. and Burns; DeLome and Cotrely
bring to the theater juggling and hoor
rolling turn which is not often seen on the
circuit: Toma EIanlon displays some excel
lent gowns and a pleasing voice In voca
numbers; and Rice and Provost in the ole
familiar acrobat and clown act do some
wonderful work the somerSault throwing
by Rice being exceptional.

U. S PAYS BIG RENT
ST. Paul substation Case investigated BY
PostoffIce Department.

Whether the federal government should
be paying rent for postoff1ce supstallon
in ST PAM at the rate of is or 20 per cent
on the landlords investment is question
that has just been investigated by an IN
spector on orders from Fourth Assistant
Postmaster GENERA, Bristow.
The so-called commercial substation
in st. Paul was rented to the government
a year ago by M. P. Ryan. according to a
contract negotiated by E. 8. Chittenden
and other members of the st. Paul Com
| mercial club. Mr.. Ryan said yesterday
that he leased a site for 81 900 year, and
then erected $4,000 one story building.

him IS, $50 a year, which covers heat, light

Schiffmann that he would have been willing
to erect on his own property building
worth $4,000 and lease it to the govern
ment for SO 1000 year. including heat

also owns a site near the Ryan building

E Fifty thousand admissions is the
mark set for the third annual food
bazaar of the Minneapolis City Sales

night on the top floor of the Dayton
Dry Goods company's building.
Last year, running only five days
and nights, the record was $4,000.
Secretary w. M. Booth thinks that
with twelve open days and nights this
year $4,000 persons will pass thru the
gates. He is willing to back his as,
sertion in any reasonable way.
One could make a less agreeable
wager than to eat the exhibits, they
are so dainty, attractive and so taste
fully arranged.
Behind the counters the forty-one
exhibitors have stationed as demon
strators the most Winsome and win
ming maidens to be found within the
city's gates. This precaution is taken
food show will taste every dainty set
forth as sample. In case one fails
in the attempt to visit every booth in
a day, the experiment may be con-
tinued for twelve days.
Barring dry Minnesota macaroni.
vinegars, matches and few unedible
or uncooked articles, the exhibit is

drink for every one, bread samples,
biscuits, milk, chocolate, cider, tropical
fruit drink, pickles, pudding, crack
ers Of every imaginable brand. Local
manufactures in all lines are promi-
nent.
The food bazaar is a popular place

ST. PAUL GAS sQUABBLE
Company Threatens to Sell If Matter Isn't
Quickly Settled.

ST. Paul councilmen are still at logger
heads with the st. Paul Gas Light COM
pany over the latter's franchise and the
situation is not made any more friendly
by the circulation of the report that the
company intended to spend a large sum Of
money In working the political death Of
such aldermen as were opposing it's de-
mands.
The council at last nights meeting con-
sented to have the penalty for delinquent
bills raised from 10 per cent to 90 per
cent. to strike out the clauses permitting
the city to buy the plant at the end Of any
five-year. period and providing for the
transfer of the distributing plant to the
city at the end of the franchise period; to
strike out the clause providing for halt
rates to charitable institutions and the
clause providing that residuals shall be
sold on the open market.
Apparently all that the councilmen now
insist on are the clauses requiring the
company to build three miles of extensions
| every year and extending the gross earn
! ings tax to residuals well as gas.
! It was announced last evening that il
| the company did not accept the ordinance
very soon, the franchise would be Offered
| for sale.

P2OP. OF CHURCH MUSIC
H. H. MoGranahan, in Charge Of
Chorus at Gray Meetings, Dis
cusses Subject.

III. H. McGranahan, who leads the
chorus of sixty voices at the Gray
meetings in Westminster church, rep,
resents new departure in theological
instruction. He Is professor of music
at the Allegheny Theological seminary
at Pittsburg. Formerly there was in
cluded in the regular course the study
Of the history of music, acoustics,
etc. Nowadays the''theolog" is taught
how to read music, to sing and to lead
singing. This supplements the other
work and makes the young minister
a musical power in the church il he
has any music In him.
Altho not so much Of a composer
as his uncle, James McGranahan of
Kinsman, Ohio, the professor has pub
,lished books for instruction in sing
ing and has done something in hymn
writing. He spent five years instruct
ing in music in the Moody Bible school
lzin Chicago, and, save for some evan
gelistic work done there, his present
| work in Minneapolis is new.
Hymn writing as business, Mr.. Nc
Granahan says, depends a good deal
on what arrangements the writer has
with the publisher. The elder Nc
Granahan has written several song
books, has collaborated with Stebbins
and Eankey in the Gospel Hymns
and Sacred Songs" and is now writ
| ing g book or sacred songs IN cOllabOra-
ton with DR.. Chapman, the evangelist
He is the author of the familiar tSome
Day Well Understand" and "There
4 Shall Be Showers Of Blessings" He
wrote hymns with the late Major D
W. Whittle, who composed the words
under the name FL Nathan.
Commenting on recent criticisms Of
gospel hymns, Mr.. .sMcGranahan said:
There are lots Of poor gospe
hymns. It is not always the music
but the words that are Objectionable
/ think good gospel hymns have theh
place in Christian work. There is M
doubt about this, as they have show1
4 by their results.
There are ministers and nusician
who think there is no music except O
the very high order that is worthy tt
be sung. My idea is that simpler nu
sic we'll rendered is better praise thar
more difficult music indifferentl
, given The real music is what we hea
and not what is on the printed page
I approve of the very best music tha
can be sung WE'LL
Mr.. McGranahan's idea is to hay
the standard just little higher tha
that Of those who sing the music, an
in that way the progress toward bette
music is continual.

Garfield Post, G. A. r., Doesn't Approve
Tablet Prepared by Aeker Post.

Garfield post G. A. R.. ST. Paul, threat

'The victories they helped achieve pre-
served the union Of the states, abolished
human slavery, established the national

velopment Of man and the advancement
of liberty
This tablet gives entire credit to Acker

the cost Of the monument by the Women's
Relief Of Garfield post.
The proposed injunction may also de-
mand that j. j. McCardy, treasurer Of the

BURYING ELECTRIC WIRES

Can Hardly Be Completed by First Of the

1t may be necessary to extend the time
for the burying Of overhead wires. The

of the underground district provides that
the wires must be taken down from the
poles and by Dec. 81. The companies are
getting the wires down, but declare that
they cannot complete the work by the first

specialists of the cause of cancer, had
anything to do with his recent discov-

doctors ground for denial is well
founded, for the fact that his discov-
