SCHWAB DEFEATS A

NEW YORK, Aug. 20.-"Do you mind

Of onlookers at the chess and checker
games at the pier reading room at At
lantic City Of George H. Kearns, the
champion checker expert of Pennsyl-
vania. Kearns assented. and the pair
quickly went at it. The stranger took
the first game easily. Have another"
he suggested, and Kearns was willing,
so second game was fought out and
again Kearns. was vanquished. In a
third contest he rallied and carried off
the honors. That's enough" said his
opponent. 7..you're on to my play"
THAT is Charles Sehwab," said some
one, who recognized the steel man.
Hes good player. all right" replied
Kearns, "and judging from what I have
read Of him, his checker playing fur
nished the true indication of his char
acteristics. His game is marked by a
blending Of natural skill, audacity and
adventure, but he never neglected to
leave loophole through which to re-

SAL OONMEN ASK
=
!. IF IT'S A BLUFF
.
Z
Ask Grocers if They Mean to
Close Saloons and Get
Straight Declaration.

= Some Of the saloonkeepers of the
city are considerably exercised over the
threats made by the retail grocers, who
declare they will close every saloon In
the city on Sunday unless the groceries
are permitted to remain open and do
business on Sunday.
"a A dozen or more saloonkeepers called
on Attorney Selb, the representative of
the grocerS, yesterday, to learn whether
or not the threat made by the groeers
was bluff. Attorney Selb Informed
The saloonmen that the grocers were in
earnest. and that they would proceed to
close the saloons next Sunday unless
they were promised some sort of pro-
lection.
The saloonmen promised to get busy
and see what could be done towards
permitting the grocers to keep their
places open.
I'VE have nothing particular against
the saloonkeepers," said one of the
grocers yesterday, "but we want some
kind of protection for ourselves, and
we have decided to use the saloons as
a club to enforce our demands. We do
not blame the saloonkeepers because
we are not allowed to keep open, but if
it is unlawful for us to sell on Sunday
it is also unlawful for the saloons and
for other places of business, and we
will see that the town is closed tight
if the authorities persist in their efforts
to keep the groceries closed. If they
keep up the fight against us We will
proceed to close the saloons, and we
will see that they are kept closed"
There were two cases in police court
yesterday against grocers who have
been arrested for violating the Sunday
closing law. but both cases were con-
tinued, and it is thought the matter
may be fixed up in some manner to
prevent the crusade against the saloons.

TWO BODIES ARE
STRANGELY ALIKE
One Found in Lake the Other in River
Might Be Twins.

CHICAGO, Aug. 20.-The bodies of
two men, each apparently sixty years
old and similar in description, are lying
in Chicago undertaking establishments
awaiting identification. In age, weight.
height and general appearance the men
resembled each other so strongly that
they might have been twins. The po-
lice are inclined to the theory that both
men met suicides deaths.
One body was taken from the river
at the Rush street bridge early Mon
day morning. The other body was
taken from the lake at Twenty sixth
street yesterday morning.
The body taken from the lake was
for a time thought to be that of Harry
Williams. 2228 Wabash avenue. The
other body is said to answer the de-
scription of John D. Jones, 1914 West
Fifty eighth street, who has been miss
ing for several days. Relatives of the
missing men will be asked to visit the
two undertaking establishments today
to learn if they can identify either OF
the bodies.

FAVORS RAISING OF
MORE MACARONI WHEAT
Prof. Hays Says the Cereal Has a
Great Future.

Prof. w. M. Hays, of the state agri-
cultural college, advocates the growing
of macaroni wheat in the Northwest
He says:
can immense amount of the wheat
is used in the United States, and the
Dakotas are the best places to raise
it. If this wheat is used the wheat
area can be pushed farther West into
the semi-arid lands. Along the Tooth
meridian in two or three. counties in
Dakota macaroni wheat yields SO Per
cent higher than an equal area Of
bread wheat.
There is no market for the wheat
because it has not been in the market
in sufficient quantities for the large
mills to make the slight change neees-
sary to mill it.
'The natural center, not only for
milling wheat, but for making the fin
ished article without further ship
ments, is the Twin Cities.
"The quality of macaroni wheat in
the Northwest is almost always good
and is rarely shrunken like spring
wheat. It's use as bread wheat is
still a problem

EDITOR THOMPSON
WONDERS IF HE
is A FUGITIVE
Senator Young Sends aDeputy
Sheriff to Get Him for Alleged
Libel, but Calls the Warrant
Off Ere IL Is Served Mysterl-
Gus Action Puzzles Him.

1 s
George Thompson, of the ST. Paul
Dispatch, doesn't know whether he is a
fugitive from justice or not.
Yesterday morning Deputy Sheriff
George Graves, of Swift county, Mimi,
the home of State Senator E. T. Young,
arrived in st. Paul with a large star
on the outside of his coat and war
rant for the arrest of Mr.. Thompson
on the inside.
The warrant had been sworn out by
Senator Young, of Appleton, who
| charged the editor of the Dispatch
| with criminal libel in connection with
| statement which appeared in the
| Dispatch Saturday evening to the eff
! feet that Senator Young was a merger
candidate for attorney general.
The deputy from Swift county ar
rived in the city early in the morning.
but he had rather poor luck in locating
Mr.. Thompson. He arrived at the
Summit avenue home just few mill
uteS after Mr.. Thompson had taken his
departure, and his subsequent search
during the forenoon was equally I'M
productive.
Not being acquainted with the city,
the deputy appeared at the sheriffs
office during the afternoon and applied
to deputies there for assistance. He
wanted some one to show him where
the Dispatch building was located, and
he Whispered in confidential manner
to Chief Deputy Hardick that he was
going to take Mr. Thompson back to
Appleton with him.
Deputy Graves was taken to the
Dispatch building, where he found Mr..
Thompson, apparently not greatly dis
turbed by the fact that warrant was
out for his arrest. Before the deputy
from Swift county had served the war
rant, however, a Western Union mes
senger boy rushed in and handed him
a message. 1t read:
Tear up. warrant for Thompson; If
he has been arrested, release him at
once"
The message, was signed by the
sheriff of Swift county and there was
nothing for the deputy to do but to
follow instructions. He-read the mes
sage for a second time, looked dis
gusted and left the building.
Whether Senator Young has decided
not to prosecute or whether he had
some other plan is not known, and Mr..
Thompson in the meantime is COM
plaeently awaiting developments.
The alleged libel printed in the Dis
patch charged former Congressman
Joel Heatwole with being. HilI can
didate to- succeed Senator Clapp; Bob
Dunn with being the merger, or anti
admins ration, candidate for governor,
and Senator Young with being the
merger candidate for attofney general
Deputy Sheriff Graves departed for
his home in Appleton last night, very
much disgruntled at having missed the
opportunity of making so important an
arrest.

Down the road came horse and wagon
belonging to Augustine Campbell. There
was no one IN the wagon. Mrs. Hill
alighted from her wheel, with the basket
of eggs still on her arm. AS the horse
went past she seized the reins close to
the bit and brought him to standstill.
The eggs remained intact.
She held the horse until a man came
along and took the reins. Then she re-
mounted her wheel and rode away, with
the basket Of unbroken eggs still on her
arm.

THAT TRIANGLE
B(|BS UP AGAIN
AssembINnaan Sc1iffffm a n n
Urges the City to Buy 1t for
a Little Park.

The long desired acquisition by the
city of the triangular block in front Of
the new federal building ON Fifth
street may yet be realized.
To test public opinion in the matter
of it's purchase President SchiffmanT.
last night introduced in the assembly a
preliminary order calling for it's con-
demnatjpn for street purposes. go
The ground is the triangular piece
now covered by the Ramaley block and
is directly in front Of the Fifth street
entrance to the new federal building.
1t can be purchased, President Schiff-
mann says, for $50, GEO. The cost would
fall upon the property in the immedi-
ate vicinity, which is owned by Presi-
dent Schiffnann, the Mitsch estate and
others.
On many occasions the requirement
by the city of this block has been Sug-
gested, the principal thing in mind be-
ing to use it as the location of a mon
ument commemorative of some his
toricaI event or the memory of some
distinguished st. Paulite.
'sThe block, located as ii is, is an
eyesore in it's present condition, and i
just want to test public opinion re-
garding its purchase by the city, said
President Schiffmann last night. .
would have to pay a considerable por-
ton of the cost, but 1 am more than
willing if the others are agreeable"
lAssemblyman Van Slyke says that
when the Druids owned it he obtained
an option on the property, the agreed
price being $4,000. but the. owners
would not let it go. He then had in
mind it's use for the erection of a mon
ument depicting ST. Paul.
The preliminary order as introduced
calls for its condemnation for the pur-
/ L..
this is merely subterfuge. If acquir-
ed by the city the block would I'M
doubtedly be parked and used for the

! Last night the company presented
to the assembly an application for a
permit to locate wires and poles on

but the request was refused.
President Schiffmann suggested that
it was a good time to force the COM

chance to compel. it. to remove poles

that the resolution allowing the use Of

PRINCIPALS MUST
NOT BUY SUPPLIES
Purchasing Committee Says 1t
Proposes to Do All the
Buying.

The prOmiScuous purchase by school
principals of supplies from parties
other than those holding supply con-
tracts, and of character not specified
in the regular schedule, is to be stop
ped.
The city purchasing committee of
the board Of school inspectors consist
ing of Mayor Smith, President Haas,
) of the board of aldermen, and City
Treasurer Bremen, have made the or
der and they propose to back it up by
resolution to be offered at their nexk
meeting
Yesterday the committee spent the
afternoon awarding contracts on the
basis of the bids received for supplies
some days ago, and from the contro-
versy that resulted cleaned enough to
know that their selection and award
in the matter Of some of the items
counted for little when some of the
principals took it. into their heads that
they wanted goods handled by some
other house.
IF the charter says we are to buy
the supplies, then they will have to
take OUR selection" said Mayor Smith
at the close of the meeting. which was
strenuous one. This thing of prin-
cipals ignoring our selection has got to
be stopped. I for one won't stand for
It,"
''And me, too" interrupted President
Haas. ''The whole trouble" he added,
rs that the board insists ON using a
schedule that is obsolete, The sooner
they find it out the better it will be for
all concerned"
With nearly 100 different articles to
award contracts for the committee
yesterday spent anything but a pleas
ant afternoon. All of the bidders were
present and they made life a burden
for the members by their incessant
wrangling. Quite a number of con-
tracts for supplies were awarded, but
In the main the majority of the awards
We're held over until today, when mem
bers of the school board will be called
In for consultation.
The committees kick is directed. at
the habit of the principals in ignoring
the awards made and buying supplies
elsewhere. The trouble, the committee
says, is that the board persists in US
Ing schedule that is several years old
Many of the articles named in it are
out of date and consequently the teach
ers buy elsewhere.

dorsed by the assembly last night. the
tracks are not to be over three in NUM-
Der and are to extend from the COM
pany's terminals at Plato street north
to Fairfield avenue.
Where the tracks cross the street
they are to be at grade, and in the
event the city payes any of the streets
the company is to pave between it's
tracks and for a distance of eighteen
inches beyond.
The tracks will cross six city blocks
and the expense to the company can be
estimated when it is known that much
of the property abuttfng the right of
way will have to be purchased direct.
1T will make all of these six blocks
available for factory purposes.
