WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. II. -
Representative Joel P. Heatwo1e was
a visitor at the White house last
evening, and remained with the pres
ident more than an hour. 1t is under
stood that he was sent for. That is
about all that can be learned about
the conference. He was as silent as
a clam on the subject, and beyond ad-
mitting the conference took place, de-
clines to talk. Other sources of in
formation are equally reticent.
It is known that Heatwole is not
looking for any Office, either for him
self or any constituent, and besides the
president is not sending for Office hunt
ers. Members of the delegation are all
guessing. Some guess that the presi-
dent wanted to talk politics with Heat
wole, others venture that it Nigh have
a bearing upon the feeling in Minne-
sofa on antitrust or other matters
political. Heatwole admits that the
visit was friendly 1t is anybodys
guess.

WILSON PLAYS WITH FIRE
HOME FOR SOLDIERS WIVES
Bill Extends Benefits
of Soldiers Home to Wom-
en- by Providing for Mar
ried Quarters and Widows
Dormitory at Minnehaha
Institution.

Extension Of the benefits of the state
soldiers home to the wives and widows
of ex-soldiers, sailors and marines is
the object of a bill introduced in the
house yesterday by the committee on
soldiers home.
The measure contemplates the pre-
Ventfon of separation of husband and
wife in cases of INDECENT veterans COM
PEELED to avail themselves of the priv
ileges Of the state home. Quarters for
married inmates are to be erected and
dormltorieS for widows.
Preserve Family Ties.
The bill provides for an appropria-
uon Of $4,000 for the erection of cot
tageS to be used as homes for mar
ried inmates and widows dormitories.
The wives of ex-soldiers, sailors or
marines may be admitted to the institu-
tion If they have been the wives Of
such soldier, sailor or marine for f1f-
teen years, and have attained the age
of forty-f1ve years.
The idea of the married quarters is
that husband and wife need not be
separated even as inmates of the home.
The bill further provides that upon
the death of the husband the widow
may be removed to the widows dormi-
tory to make room in the home for
other married inmates.
Another feature Of the bill is the
provision setting aside lands on which
the ladies' auXiliaries of the sevSSaI
veterans associations may erect build
1ngS for the execution of similar char
tiles.

BODY OF MAN is FOUND
UNDER A SHEET OF ICE

4O1 Partridge avenue, within a few
rods Of the well, near where Brand
horsts body was found, says that she
drew water from the spring several
times Monday and yesterday but did
not observe the body.
Il can't understand how it~cOuld be
so close to the we'll without some Of
our family seeing it, if it were there
since Sunday" said Mrs. Niemann.
Since Monday morning we have drawn
water from the we'll at least a dozen
times. The last time was at 5: 80 o'clock
this afternoon, when my husband went
down to the spring. This was shortly
before the body was found"
Mr.. BrandhOrst is survived by a wife
and three small children. He was IL
carpenter by trade, but had not worked
for several weeks on account Of ILL

his aged mother and two brothers and
two sisters survive him. They are Mrs.

The funeral arrangements have not
yet been made, but the lnterment will
probably take place Friday afternoon
from the family residence, 442 East
Ninth street. The funeral services will
be private on account Of Mrs. j. H.

GETTING EVEN?
One Explanation of His
Course Regarding Anti
Trust Bill.
shington Bureau.

From Globe Washington Bureau.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. IT. -
More than little surprise is mani
tested here at the action Of Senator
Nelson in voting for the Democratic
''trust-buster" reported from senate ju-
dietary committee. The bill is the Lit
tlef1eld bill with lot of radical amend
ments, all Of a character to give chills
and fever to the managers Of the con-
servative amendments campaign
against the trusts. All the Democrats
on the judiciary committee voted for
1t. A majority Of the Republicans
voted against It, including Platt, of
Connecticut; Clark, of Wyoming; Fair
banks, Simon and Depew; but three
Republicans, by voting with the DEM
ocrats, made possible the favorable re-
port on the bill. They are Nelson, Hoar
and McComas.
The action of Hoar is explained by
his anger at the manner in which he
and his bill were snubbed and squelcht
ed by the president. McComas is al
most Democrat, coming from Demo-
cratic territory, but Nelson has been
regarded as the administration chief
high trust-buster, intrusted with the
sacred amendment creating the publici-
ty bureau and acting for the president
in the subcommittee and the committee
conference. Some people see a con-
nection between Nelson's vote and his
attempt to land a job in the new de-
partment. Having been thrown down
hard in his efforts for Merriam and
Ingerso1l, he is believed to be taking
this course to even scores
The Democratic measure reported is
calculated to embarrass the admins
tration by placing the Republicans in
the position of opposing a real anti
trust bill. The bill is aimed at stock
watering, railroad connection and all
monopolies.

seventeen persons are known to have
been drowned and others who were
rescued are in serious condition. The
Whirlwind caused the Olive to go over
on her beams, and when she righted
1t was only to sink on account of the
water she had taken. A majority Of the
passengers and crew were below, and
had no opportunity to reach the pilot
house. This point was the only por-
ton left above water, and in it, stand

RESIST SNAP JUDGMENT.
House Members Insist on Full Scrutiny
of Stones Rate Bill.


The Stone bill providing that raiI=
road companies may not raise their
freight rates without the consent of the
railroad and warehouse commission
will be special order in the house
Thursday morning, Feb. 26.
The opposition to the bill in it's pres
ent form is determined that it shall not
be railroaded through without giving
the house ample opportunity to scruti-
nize it's provisions, which, they claim,
are vicious.
Mr.. Stone yesterday morning moved
10 make his bill a special order tomor-
row. Mr.. Nolan, chairman Of the rail-
roads committee, said he was entirely
satisfied that the bill should be made
q special order, but in view Of the
fact that his committee had been ac-
cused Of unfair methods on it's original
consideration of the measure, he must
insist that the members be given
ample opportunity to study the bill.
Mr.. Armstrong moved for a special
order a week from Tuesday, when
Stone promptly withdrew his special
order motion asking that the bill go to
general orders. Nolan saw in this an
other attempt to railroad the measure
and came back with a motion for q
special order Feb. 26, which was almost
unanimously adopted. The opposition
to the bill claim it will, if enacted, give
the railroad and warehouse commission
power to stifle competition.

Coleman Younger the reformed BAN
dit, who by permission Of the author
tiles of the state of Minnesota has
returned to his old home in Jackson
county, No. after an absence of twen-
ty-seven years, today at the Midland
hotel in this city formed a theatrical
company with his famous old time
bandit companion. Frank James The
company purchased by them was the
'Buckskin Bill Wild West Show" The
baeker of the show and one of the
partners is Wally Hoffman, wealthy
brewer of Chicago. The amount Of
money put into the concern is $4,000,
and it is said that Frank James re-
fused to sign the contract until he saw
the money paid to II. E. AlIott, busi-
ness manager of the combination. The
money which was put up by Hoffman
was brought into the hotel in a satchel
and paid to Allott.
Younger and James will leave for
Chicago in a few days, where the COM
pany will be formed. 1t lis said that
the show will not exploit any Of the
wild and bloody scenes of history con-
nected with the lives of the two IA
nous men, but that it will be an at
traction of the Wild West order. James
will do the acting, for Younger is
prevented from appearing on the stage
by the terms of his pardon from Min
nesota. The season for the show will
begin next May, and it is expected that

Temperature of-2o Below Zero Prevail

Continued cold weather throughout
yesterday caused much inconvenience
to those who were compelled to be out

ported there was no general suffering
from the climatic severity
AS far as can be ascertained the poor
of the city have been adequately sup
piled with fuel by the organized chari-
ties. The city board of control has for
the past three days, been kept pretty
busy supplying coal and wood to those
who have needed it, and the work has
been supplemented by the Relief So
ciety.
Perhaps the greatest evil effect of the
present cold snap has been to business.
and in this portion of the Northwest all
trade has received a serious setback.
The indications for ST. Paul and vi
cinity as interpreted by the local
weather bureau are for fair and warm
er weather. The cold weather which
has prevailed here moved rapidly east
ward, and yesterday morning the zero
line passed through Cincinnati, South
ern Missouri and Southern Kansas. It
was much warmer in North Dakota,
Western South Dakota. the British
possessions, Montana. Colorado and the
western parts of Nebraska and Kan
sas and in New Mexico than on the
previous day.
The current temperature for st. Paul
yesterday 20 degrees below, with
the minimum temperature of "a and a
maximum of IL degrees below.
The most severe cold was recorded
at Prince Albert, where 38 below was
registered, and the current tempera-
ture for the twenty hours hours was
Sc below.
The official records at some Of the
other Western cities which have had

The extreme cold claimed it's first
st. Paul victim yesterday.
Buried beneath a heavy sheet of ice,
The frozen body of Frederick Brand
horst, 442 East Ninth street, was found
Of the old Sibley homestead, at Part
ridge and Woodward avenues.
The body laid five yards from a
spring, which flows from the slope
leading down from the Sibley home to
the Great Northern tracks. AS the man
lay on his back beneath the spring his
body was submerged by the running
water, which froze and gave the re-
mains the appearance of a huge cake
of ice.
While running to view the wreck on
the Great Northern tracks, in which
Conductor Kelly lost his life last night,
Willie Turner stumbled over the frozen
mass. When he regained his footing
he discovered that the mass was the
body of a man. Coroner Miller who
was at work at the wreck, was sum-
mOned and at once ordered the body
removed to the nnorgue
Before the body could be removed it
was necessary to chop the ice away,
so firmly was it imbedded in the frozen
water.
The remains were identified before
they were taken to the morgue by
Herman and J. Henry Brandhorst,
brothers Of the deceased. Soon after
the body was taken to the rnorgue it
was turned over to E. C. Schroeder
and was removed to his undertaking
rooms at 1181a East Sixth street.
Missing for Two Days.
Mr. Brandhorst, who was forty three
years of age, disappeared from his
home Sunday afternoon. When ne did
not return that evening a search was
instigated, but without success. Mon
day the police were notified, but until
the body was found last evening no
trace of the man was obtained.
When Brandhorst left his home he
wore no Overcoat and had on his feet
only light pair Of summer slippers.
1t is thought that he intended to walk
but short distance from his home to
visit friends and that While near the
spring in the rear of the Sibley prop
eTty he fell on the ice and was rem
dered unconscious. Death resulted from
the cold, and the water from the well
froze as it flowed over the body, par

NEW YORK, Feb. 17-Steps were
taken today to save 10000 starving elk
on the Jeton-Y Yellowstone reserves in
Wyoming. Snow seven feet deep COW
ers their feeding ground, and the tenn
peratures as low as 40 below zero have
added to their sufferings. News of the
critical condition of the elk herds
reached here today, coming from the
chief Of the United States rangers to
A. A. Anderson, special superintendent
of the Jeton- Yellowstone reserves, who
spends his winters in New York.
Mr.. Anderson ordered that a tempo
fary supply of wild hay at his own
expense be distributed as soon as pos
sible at convenient points by the force
of thirty rangers. He then proposed
that $1,500 to $4,000 be raised here
by subscription to purchase more wild
hay, and it is believed that prominent
persons will support the plan.

EXCUSE HEAD OF FAMILY.
Relief From Jury Duty Offered as
Home Building Incentive.

A reformed woodchuck is found con-
cealed in an innocent looking senate
measure, designed to amend the pres
ent law relating to the selection of
juries. The bill was introduced yester-
day by Senator Morgan, and this same
measure brings the senator from Free
born forward as one Of the diplomats
Of the uper house.
In this bill Senator Morgan indorses
President Roosevelt's ideas of the
strenuous family life, and more than
this, the solon from Freeborn offers an
inducement where the president merely
files a protest.
President Roosevelt does not know
whether most to pity or most despise
the foolish and selfish man who de-
MES himself these highest OF all Joys
which spring only from home life, but
Senator Morgan instead of wasting pity
makes it an object for the sman who
at the present time considers a family
in the light of a serious handicap, to
change his views.
Skillfully avoiding all mention of any
