EXAMINER TO COLLECT
Better System Organized for Collec,
- 49, ton of Railroad Taxes.

Public Examiner S. It. Johnson and the
railroad and warehouse commission, who
have been working at cross purposes for
some months in the collection of back
taxes from the railroad companies, have
reached a working agreement, as a result
Of a conference between Mr.. Johnson;
Commissioner Staples, State Auditor liver
son and State Treasurer Block. Both Of
fees had made complaints to the auditor,
and the conference was for the purpose of
harmonizing the differences. The public
exa miners office charged that the rail-
road companies were under agreement@to
notify the commission as soon as amounts
to be paid had been agreed on, and that
the railroad commission would then make
a report to the auditor, claiming credit for
the result. The commission complained
because they had no official notice of the
checks turned over by the public exam
liner. It was agreed that hereafter dupli-
cate copies should be made Of the letters,
and one should be furnished to the rail-
road commission for their information. 1t
was also understood that hereafter the
collections would all be made through the
public examiner, who is charged by the
law with the examination of the railroad
accounts. ~.
There is a disagreement as to-facts be-
tween the two offices. The; public exam
iner claims that his expert accountant,
r. I'll: McGraw, has made the disclosures
In every case, and that he was followed
about by Thomas Yapp, the statistician
for the railroad and warehouse commits
sion, who has done much less work and
with fewer results. The commission, on
the other hand, claim that Mr.. Yapp has
disclosed. with the aid of the railroad &C
contants, all the items of back taxes
which have been reported through their
office. The exact facts in the controversy
will probably develop later on. :

FUEL OFFICE BURGLARIZED :.
Thieves Take Delivery Slips for Coal
Which Was to Be Delivered,

The first raid upon fuel office in Min
neapolis since the beginning of the coal
famine, occurred last night when someone
broke into the office of the Northwestern
Fuel company at Eighth street and Cedar
avenue and ransacked the place. Several
drawers were broken into, the desk was
badly damaged and books and papers
were scattered over the floor, but nothing
was stolen except the delivery slips for
twenty-five tons of anthra cite coal which
was to have been delivered to-day.
A window was forced, and the robbers
apparently disgruntled by their failure to
find what they were looking for, kicked
the books about the floor and scattered
papers in every direction.
The fact that the place had been broken
into was not known until the clerks came
to work this morning. The only trace
they could find of the thieves was the
tracks of a man which led from Tie win
dow to a high fence in the rear Of the
office.

THE LOGICAL PLACE!
The Bakers School Should Be at
Worlds Milling Center, Argues
VIM. Regain.
idea Has Weight With Bakers Com
mittee Which Will Visit d
City in April.

Fifteen of the leading bread bakers of
North America will come to Minneapolis
about April IA to look at the city and into
its advantages as a place for the estab-
lishment of a technical training school
for bread bakers These men are the
members of the executive committee of
the National Association of Bread Bakers
AT the January meeting in New York
city the advisability of establishing a coll
lege for bread bakers and cracker maxi
ers was discussed, No action was taken
The bread bakers. however, were of one
mind as to the desirability of such a col-
lege, and the question of a location was
raised. Columbus, Ohio, and Brooklyn
were suggested. William Regain, always
alive to the interests of Minneapolis,
made strong talk for Minneapolis. He
pointed out that this city was the chief
-four milling center Of the world, having
the largest flour output and the most
progressive and enterprising millers in
the world, millers who were quick to meet
the wants Of the various branches of the
baking business. Much Of the chemistry
Of flour applied equally to milling and
baking. 1t was as much to the interest
of the miller as the baker to know the
percentage of gluten in flour, and answers
to like questions. For the same reason
that a school of mines is located III a
mining country, and naval academy on
the sea coast, argued MT. Regan, the
bakers school should be located in Min
neapolis, the -four mill center.
The committee was so much impressed
with these arguments that it decided to
hold it's next meeting in Minneapolis.
April IA.
Mr.. Regain, who has just returned from
Washington, is enthusiastic over the
plan, and is already at work stimulating
interest among business men. He natural
ly expects the millers to cooperate
heartily in the movement He hopes to
convince the members of the executive
| committee, at least, that there is, only
one place for the school Of scientific
baking. 1.-THE baking business is not only
Of great Importance, but it is growing
| industry remarked Mr.. Regain. '"rhe
manufacture of bakers bread should be
placed on a scientific basis such as has
| made many other industries exact
sciences in this country. While bread
making has advanced, there is still en-
tirely too much guess work. Too many
| bakers use caraway seed or their hands
to ascertain if the oven is hot enough
and other primitive methods are still il
vogue in many bakeries

TO STEAL OR SIARYE1
That Was the Alternative That Pre-.
scented Itself to Lee Harlem
and His Wife.
Prosecution Was Abandoned When;
Truth Concerning Their Con.
dition Became Known.

is -. s =
Sad, indeed. was the case Of Lee Harlem
and his wife May, who were brought into,
police court this morning to be formally
discharged from custody by Judge, Holt
The man was weak and trembling from
the effect of a prOtracted illness, while
the woman's face was pinched and drawn
from privation and poverty. Both APP
peared to be filter subjects for a hospital
than for a. police court.
The Harlens We're arrested Saturday
afternoon, charged with stealing piece
of silk from a local department store.1
They We're taken to police headquarters
and when they told their sad story the
proprietor Of the store; refused to swear
out a complaint against them, and they
were held until thisMmorning to be dis
charged by Judge Holt.
Harlem has been an invalid for several
years and the woman has supported him
She had position where she earned Sc a
week, and upon this slender sum the cou-
pie managed to exc out an existence She
became i'll a few weeks ago and lost her
position. Their small savings were con-
sumed and they saw starvation staring
them in the face. Stealing seemed to be
the only thing left for them to do
1--WE just had to steal,'' sobbed the wo-
man. I'VE are not criminals, but we
must live, and we are out of work and
neither one of us able to work. We lived
OH 30 a week until LOOK Ill, ana now we
have not cent to live on
When Judge. Holt called them TO the bar
and formally dismissed them from custory
there was scarcely a dry eye in the court
ROOM. Their case will be reported to the
proper authorities and an effort made to
secure aid for their support until the hus-
band is sufficiently recovered to earn a
living for himself and wife.
Not Necessary to Steal.
"While know nothing about the case
Of the Harlems," said Secretary James r.
jackson, of the Associated Charities to-
day do know that there is never an
occasion for a man or woman to steal for
living in Minneapolis The Associated
Charities and the city poor department are
| always ready to aid needy cases and if a
person is really unable to earn a living
all that is necessary is for him to call upon
either Of these for aid and it will be given
''Of course I know that ignorance is re.
| sponsible for number of strange things
and it is likely that the Harlems knew
| nothing about these things and when they
were out of money and food and were no,
able to work. they thought that the next
| thing for them to do was to steal. We
| shall look into their case and if there is
anything we can do for them, We'll surely
do it,

It will be noticed that the club is es-
pecially fortunate in having such fine
lot of material for the principal parts in
the play. III. l.. Belknap is not very we'll
known in Minneapolis, having been here
but a short time, but he is especially quail
flied for the principal part in the play,
being very musical and having one of the
finest tenor voices that has ever been
heard in Minneapolis. Hal Stevens who
takes the part of Beatrice, has barytone
voice of remarkable sweetness and rem
ders the solos belonging to this part in a
truly artistic manner. The Minneapolis
public is pretty we'll acquainted with the,
men who make up the balance Of the cast,
so that 1t is not necessary to- mention
further the ability Of these men to carry
off with success the parts assigned to
them, but it might be added that in the
characters of Jim and Tooke, the club has
two Of the best comedians ever seen out
side Of a professional company in A. E.
Wilcox and Charles Lane, and these two
aided by Gilbert Byron representing the
character of Phyllis, the Bowery GIRL give
a line of comedy that is guaranteed to be
a sure cure for the blues. The friends
of The club who have seen some of>the
rehearsals are extremely enthusiastic over
the play, and it Is the unanimous opinion
that the Queen of the Ballet is head
and shoulders above 1.-THE Viking" which
was produced by the club last year, both
in merit as to an opera and in the way
in which it is handled.

MR.. LAVELLE AGRIEVED.
Pays His Respects to Gentleman from
Arkansas.

Columbus, January 3, 19O3.--Editor
Gazette: My attention has been cali
ed to an article headed "a Voice from
the West" which appeared recently
in the Billings Times. The little
editor from Little Rock, Ark, might
have made it more truthful had he
entitled it "a Little Voice from the
West" for that would have desig-
mated it exactly, regardless of the
untruthfulness of the article itself.
think that when the little editor from
Little Rock, Ark, wrote those five
words he must have been asleep.
Truth seems SO foreign to his nature
thai when l read the five words and
realized that they were true my as
constituent was so great that for a
moment was almost tempted to be-
lieve the entire article true. No one
would be surprised were l to go into
a trance and so far lose my senses,
for whoever heard before of the lit
tie editor from Little Rock telling
the truth, even to the extent of four
or five words.
Only a few short years ago the lit
tie editor from Little Rock came to
the state and by hook or crook man
aged to get possession of the Times
and under glazing headlines heralded
the fact to the world that he was
a Methodist without religion, for a
Methodist with religion never lies
about his n%eignbor). Then again he
told the public that he was a demo-
crat from principle. Whoever heard
of a democrat of principle being gold
bricked? Again she little editor from
Little Rock told the public that he
was a gentleman, first, last and all
the time. A gentleman gives his
%neighbor the benefit of a doubt.
But will not take up more of your
space or time, the game is too small.
1t started, in my opinion, under a
cloud, has lived under a cloud and if
the Lord doesn't interfere will die
under a cloud. But the little editor
from Little Rock will have to do a
lot of pennance before the Lord will
come to his aid, if l am allowed to
express judgment.
