If the recommendations of President
Warner, of the fire board, made at the
meeting of the board last night, are
carried out, the members of st. PaufS
fire department will hereafter be
awarded medals for acts of eXtraordi-
nary bravery
1t was suggested by President War
ner that the board adopt some suitable
medal to be awarded any member OF
the department for the performance OF
any unusual act of bravery, either
While on duty or off. The suggestions
made by President Warner were dis
cussed at some length by the members
of the board, and the matter was final
ly retired to a special committee, with
instructions to report at the next meet
ing of the board.
President Warner, in making the rec
ommendation said it was the custom
in many large cities Of the East to re-
ward acts of bravery by awarding med
ais, and he thought the plan was one
which should be adopted in ST Paul.
"Only a few days ago." said Presi-
dent Warner "a member of the depart
ment risked his life to save the lives
of a woman and her child who were in
a runaway, and there have been nu-
merous other instances where our fire
men have performed especially heroic
acts of bravery. There should be some
way of recognizing such service, and it
should be done in some manner so that
the general public will be made aware
of it"
1--WE certainly should recognize such
acts by some means" said Commits
sioner Brace. Il believe we should keep
record of such acts and the men
whose names are on this roll of honor
should be considered when there is
chance for promotion"
IF we hold too many inducements
it might result in the firemen risking
their lives where they would not do so
otherwise, and many of them might be
hurt in doing So" said Commissioner
freeman. 81 once knew of f1reman
who saved a woman's life by stopping
a runaway, and although he was almost
killed in doing so, all he got out of it
was a suit of clothes" s..o "a
''Well, if we could give them medals,
something they could wear, the public
would know who had performed brave
acts" insisted President Warner. 81
do not think we should stop to consid-
er the expense in a matter of this
kind"
But Commissioner Schweizer took
the opposite view. He said:
Instead of buying medals to. be
awarded for acts of bravery, we had
better look out for the oats for our
horses and the coal for our fire en-
gines. These are some of the things
we are compelled to buy, and we have
none too much money with which to
buy either 1 think a medal for BRAY
cry would be all right. but when we
commence giving out medals we should
give out good ones, and at the present
time we cannot afford to spend the
money for them"
After some discussion the matter Of
providing the medals for acts Of BRAY
cry was referred to a committee which
will report at the next meeting of the
board. Gss

HAVE FEED OF CLA ANS
New EngIanders Enjoy an Old
Time Banquet.

Real Massachusetts CLAIMS, baked
under fragrant heaps of seaweed which
accompanied them from the "Old Bay"
state, were the piece de resistance at
a New Englanders' feast last evening
at Frank Shanley's Bald Eagle home,
the Virginia.
The New Englanders' clam bake, ar
ranged by George w. Currier, of Bald
Eagle, was conducted with all the
ceremOniOus cares, without any one of
which no Massachusetts clam bake
would be success.
At 4 o'clock yesterday morning a
rousing fire was started over the pit
over half filled with round stones. At
mid-afternoon the fire was drawn from
the hot stones, over which were spread
a barrel of CLAIMS direct from Massa-
chusetts, with corn and sweet potatoes.
Then the seaweed, also especially
brought from Massachusetts for the
purpose, was strewn over the oven and
the fifty New Englanders sang the
songs of their native Yankeedom I'M
til the feast was announced at o'clock
The supper was followed by several
addresses.
A few of the participants were from
st. Paul, but a majority of them were
residents Of Bald Eagle and White
Bear.

BOARD MUST MOVE
Plenty of Room for School Dr.
reCtors i'm City Hall.

The cry of no more room in the big
city hall and court house will be with
out justification when the improve
ments now being made on the top floor
of the big building are completed.
Part Of the floor which was first used
as a city library and later as a tenn
porary jail, has been converted into six
good sized rooms and they are not
equaled in the entire building for light
and good ventilation.
Painters and carpenters have been
at work on the rooms for the past
month, and when completed they will
be offered to the board of school in
spectors for their use. Others in the
building who are protesting because of
cramped quarters will also be accom-
modated.
The school board, which is now pay
ing $50 month for rooms in the New
York life building, is understood to be
adverse to moving, but members of the
assembly say. that they will refuse to
audit the rent bills after this month.
They make the point that the saving
effected by the transfer would be suffi-
cient to pay the yearly salary Of one
good teacher.

SOFIA. Sept. 1O.-A European mer-
chant, who left Monastir, Sept. s. has
arrived at Sofia, and has given an &C
count of the terrible conditions prevail
ing in the vilayet of Monastir. He says
Hilni Pasha's administration was
greatly disappointing to the Christians,
who expected that he would make an
Improvement in the situation. HiImi
Pasha, however, is following the lines
or his predecessors and the greatest ex-
GeSSeS that have ever been committed
have happened since his arrival
Throughout the vilayet of Monastir the
Turkish soldiers are daily perpetrating
almost Uncomfortable atrocities. They
dishonor the young girls in the pres
ence Of their parents and pillage and
murder everywhere. Even funeral pro-
cessions are halted and the corpses
stripped of the new clothes which they
are dressed according to the Mace
DOMAIN burial custom. The priests
vestments are seized and the robbers
sell all their plumber openly, the Of
fleers apparently conserving.
The informant says the Christian in
habitants are panic-Stricken, hourly
fearing a general massacre The Mus
sulmans' fanatical hatred of the Chris
dans has reached the highest point.
The shops are closed in Monastir, bust
ness is suspended and the streets are
deserted. Even the conSuls do not dare
to venture outside their homes. The
country people are afraid to come to
the city lest they should be robbed and
murdered on the way. Europeans de-
string to see the burned villages are
prevented by the authorities on varf-
Gus excuses. The British consul want
ed to go to Smilevo, but Hilmi Pasha
informed him that he could not guar
antee his safety as the reyolutionaries
had plotted to kill him.
The informant continues that it is
estimated that there are over 10000
people in the fields without shelter and
starving. Hilmi Pasha has promised
the consuls that he will assist the des-
tftute people, but he has done nothing.

ONE THOUSAND PAY
THE FEDERAL TAX
Assemblyman Says 600 Places
Sell Liquor Without City
License.

There are fully 1000 persons in St.
Paul who pay Uncle Sam for the priv
1iege of retailing intoxicating liquors.
OF the number only a trifle over 800
contribute to the treasury of the city
for the same privilege.
This is what Assemblyman H. c..
Schurmeier declares, and he promises
completed the investigation he is now
engaged in. He is making it in his
crusade against blind pigs.
This is a list that contains over 500
names" said Mr.. Schurmeier last
night. displaying several pages of
manuscript, which he declared was an
exact copy of the retail liquor license
book in the Office of Collector of In
ternal Revenue Bombach.
'"The names run alphabetically he
continued, and 1 have only got down
to the letter L. I said there were blind
pigs in st. Paul and 1 intend to back
my statement up with proofs. I'll
prosecute them if the city does not
am not mourning this expense for
nothing"
Clubs Sell Liquor.
One method of evading the liquor
laws in the Midway district is through
the medium of clubs, and Mr.. Schur-
meier pointed out on his list two cor
pOIdlIOnS WHICH Se(IleQ WITH Uncle
Sam lately. One gives the name of the
Midway club. 1885 University avenue,
and the other the Prior club. 1856 Uni
versity avenue. Neither of them has
a city license.
The fact that only about 500 of the
1000 names upon the collectors books
secure city licenses does not mean
that all are selling illegally, but Mr..
Schurmeier makes the broad state

violating the law. The entire number
includes houses of ill-fame, druggists,
wholesale liquor houses and many who.
rather than haggle with the restric-
lions that Uncle Sam puts upon the
liquor traffic, prefer to pay the $25
demanded where liquor is sold in less
quantities than five gallons.
Assemblyman Schurmeier promises
to have his list ready in time for the
next assembly meeting. He is also
trying to compel the brewers to pay
$1,000 city retail license.

SELL TOLUMBERMEN
Warden Andrews Would Let
Them Buy Pine Lands Direct.

81 submit that it would be very
much better for all concerned if the
remaining public pine lands in Mime
sofa could be sold direct to the manu-
facturer, according to measurement,
at proper value, and in such quantities
as he Desires said Gen. c. c.. An
drews, fire warden of Minnesota, yes
terday, discussing the disposal of gov
eminent pine lands.
IF the United States had managed
its pine timber lands on forestry prin-
ciples it would have had the timber
sold at a fair valuation, to the highest
bidder, just as the state of Minnesota
is today selling the pine timber on
its school lands. If the government
had pursued that course the manu-
turers of lumber would have had a fair
chance to purchase timber in legiti-
mate way, and the lumber would have
been furnished to the public at cheap
er rates than now prevail - -
After discussing the several methods
adopted in the forty years since the
abolition of the public sale to highest
bidder. which proved a farce because
lands unsold within the few days auc-
ton period were later offered at $125
per acre, Gen. Andrews said Of the
stone and timber act, under which
valuable pine lands are now so easily
acquired:
Another way is under the stone and
timber act, by which any citizen can
purchase $50 acres and no more, Of
pine or any other timber land of the
United States at $3.50 per acre. Some
Of the best tracts of pine land In
Northern Minnesota contain from
100000 to 100000 feet, board meas
ure, of standing pine on 100 acres,
and of the value, at 81 a thousand, the
present average price, of from 5000
to $4,000. What the United States
receives for such a tract under the
stone and timber act at $3.50 an acre
is only $500! The purchaser under the
stone and timber act has to make oath
that he does not purchase the land for
speculation. Remember that he can
only purchase $50 acres. What does
he want 1T for unless for speculation?
He would not buy mill and undertake
to manufacture it himself On an av-
erage the purchasers of pine timber
land under the stone and timber act
clear each $1,000 or over. which profit
is thus taken out of the timber before
it comes into the hands of the manu-
facturer. This profit must come out of
the consumer"

AT THE UNIVERSITY.

The football team practice yesterday
afternoon was very satisfactory. After a
little work in running down on puntS and
Sprinting the first and second teams lined
through signal practice. The first team
in a short game made two touchdownS.
The gains generally were quite large, and
only few times did the second team
check the advance of the varsity men.
Schacht and Bergen did fine work in ad-
vancing the ball. and also played a strong
game on the defense. Except for a few
minutes the second team made very few
gains and then they were stopped before
the goal was in danger. They also FUN
bled more than the varsity players. Al
together the prospects of a winning team
are very fair and if practice continues
TO improve as well as it has Minnesota
will not be far from the top this season.
Considerable inconvenience is being
caused in several of the scientific depart
ments by the non-arriVal of laboratory
supplies. and it is possible that laboratory
work will have to be temporarily discon-
tinued. The trouble is due to the delay
of the board of control in ordering the
supplies and Will be a serious drawback
to the work of large number of stu
dents. There has also been some COM
plant as to the quality of material There
is SO much red tape in the ordering of
supplies now that a return to the old
method is generally desired.
Registration is still in progress. although
the number coming in is much smaller
now. Up to noon yesterday the total
number was 2,44S. of whom 10Y were in
the academic and engineering depart
ments, 375 medical and $50 law. When the
professional colleges and the agricultural
school at st. Anthony Park have complet-
ed their enrolment the total will prob
ably be nearly 1000. The freshmen
classes in all departments are larger than
ever, the dental class especially. This is
probably due to the fact that this de-
partment is not affected by the increased
requirements in the medical college.
