AN OILY DILEMMA
It's Victims Unawares Slide Onto a
Horn It Will Be Hard
to Escape.
They Took Oil From Star Oil Plant
Tank and Must Face Pro
ceedings.

Persons in the vicinity Of the North
western Star Oil company's ruined plant
who have been helping themselves to oil
from an unexploded tank, have escaped
from one horn of a dilemma only to be
firmly impaled upon another. They prob
ably were not aware of any dilemma at
all; nevertheless, one existed, and their
free use Of the oil created it. B. r. Ward,
deputy state oil inspector, discovered it.
The trouble was that If the free and
easy persons who took the oil were using
low-test oil they were liable to prosecu-
ton by the oil inspector; IT they were
using high-grade oil, or, in any event,
in fact, they: were likely to be made de-
PENDANTS in proceedings begun by Jen-
ME Davis, 2201 Hennepfn avenue, as ex-
ecutriX Of the estate to which the ruined
plant belonged.
& Because of the peculiar effect of the
high temperature to which the oil was
subjected in the fire, the oil was made
the dread inspector; but they will not
escape the executr1x, who has retained
Benjamin Davenport to prosecute. He has
evidence to show that several hundred
barrels have been taken.
+ Mr.. Ward has made the tests of the
oil. He finds that 1t runs $50, which Is
an unusually high proof, and 40 degrees
higher than that demanded by the Oil in
spection laws. This means that. the oil
will stand temperature of 100 degrees
Fahrenheit before igntting. This condi-
ton in normally lowgrade oil is &C.
counted for by Mr.. Ward, who explains
was exposed when the oil plant burned
| caused the lighter gases to evaporate
leaving the heavier elements Of the OF
in the tank.

MAY MAKE mo BIDS
Lumbermen Might Thus Delay the
Cutting Of. That Reserva-
ton Pine.
The Time Extension Does Not Meet
With Their Unanimous
Approval

Lunbermen Of the city differ as to the
new time limit of five years set for the
cutting of Chippewa reservation timbepr IN
Minnesota. Hovey C. Clarke believed the
time sufficient. C. A. Smith advanced the
same reasons against the fve-year limit
that were offered generally against the
original time for cutting Of two years. the
main objection being the unfayorable eff
feet on the market of unloading at one
time so much timber, and the financial
loss to the Indian because conditions
would force low prices for the stumpage.
w. F. Brooks said that his Arm had only
one ten-year timber deed. These deeds
usually run fifteen to twenty years, and
his company always held for the twenty
years when possible. He said that this
timber should properly be sawed on Or
near the reservation. The business like
way would be to build a plant right on
the ground. This construction would take
much time from the limit for cutting the
trees. Mr.. Brooks said there were sew
eral restrictions in the law which would
work unfavorably to the public and to the
Indians.
1t has been suggested that the lumber
men who believe the time limit too short
might get further extension and secure
an elimination of the unfavorable features
of the law by refusing to make bids at
the December sales. This might result in
complete change in the conditions.

UNION REVIEWS
MILLER CHARGES
The Facts Regarding His Alleged
Bigamy Are Set Forth in a
Lengthy Statement.

From The Journal Bureau, Room 45 Post Build
ing, Washington.
Washington, Aug. 22.-President Bar
rett of the local bookbinders' union, late
to-day gave a long statement OF the
unions side in the Miller case, which has
agitated government printing oInce EN-
ployes for upwards of month. The state
ment alleges that Miller has been dis
charged from government service twice
before-once when he deceived the public
printer by declaring he had served full
apprenticeship as bookbinder when he had
not done so. -
"rhe second time" says the report, sin
1878. it is claimed, he was discharged be-
cause he had deceived one of the young
women employees in the office by making
her believe he was a single man and per-
suading her to marry him. He introduced
her as his wife while he had a wife living
in Pennsylvania.
"He was suspended when 1T became
known, and while he claims his resigna-
tion was accepted, it is understood by
those in the office with him that he was
discharged just as soon as the pubhc
printer became certain of the facts.
The statement then asserts that Mill
er's first wife was granted divorce IN
| October, 1888, more than five years after
his marriage to his present wife, whlch
was solemnized at Minneapolis in 1883
'aThis was the statement continues,
| "more than ten years after he had repre-
sented another woman as his wife and
had lived with her as such here and had
| one child by her
Barrettthen takes up Miller's record as
assistant foreman in the government
printing office and thereasons for his being
expelled from the union. 1t is charged
that he misrepresented others IN the once
to his superiors, which injured their
standing in the office.
He was proceeded against in regular
manner and he was expelled after fair
| trial. President Barrett concludes the
statement with a denial that the book
binders constitution is in conflict with
federal laws

But PAPA WASLAIE.
A Sioux Falls Parent Tries to Stop q
Minneapolis Mar
riage.
His Telegram Received When the
Young People Were Al
ready Married.

!. Leon Covell and Florence Massa are
believed to have secured a license and
been married by Judge Simpson yes
terday afternoon. Despite age limita-
lions, parental opposition and few other
obstacles, the two are now man and wife.
This morning telegram was received
by County Clerk Dickey. 1t read:
Sioux Falls, S. D., Aug. %, 1909
Clerk Of Courts, Minneapolis, Mimi: Did
Leon Covell and Florence Massa get
license to marryY II not. refuse them, as
girl is under age. Wire answer.
Harry Massa."
Deputy Clerk Switzer discovered that
license was issued yesterday to Leon
Covell Of Jones County, Iowa, and Flor
ence Johnson of Minnehaha county, s..
D. Her age was given as 1s. The two
were married by Judge Simpson 1mme-
diately.
Altho the brides last name was given
as Johnson, her first name was the same
as that wired by Mr.. Massa and the name
Of the groom was Identical 1t is there
fore believed to be certain that the con-
tracing parties are the ones referred to
by the irate parent at Sioux Falls, and
that the young man in giving the data to
the clerk and milking his marriage affi-
da,vit not only disregarded parental OBJ
jections but committed the crime of per-
jury. A marriage under an assumed
name is said to be no marriage.

natural love of athletic sports have kept
him in active exercise all his life, and
explain his ability to do much fancy bag
punching after but year Of study.
Dressed in his gymnasium suit Andreas
weighs little over $50 pounds, and is
perfectly developed specimen. In spite of
the necessity Of balancing himself on one
leg, he punches the platform bag with
firsts, elbows, head, does pivot punching,
keeps time to music, and punches blind
folded.
In punching the floor bag, Andreas uses
fists and elbows, and kicks and jumps
over the bag while it is in motion. He
also pivot punches. He is now practicing
punching to platform bags simultan-
eously.
Andreas is a Minneapolis boy, 10 years
old, and has appeared in public several
times, notably at the Y. M. c. A. exhibit
lions and at the university circus last
winter. His skill and his fine presence
have made him many friends. He ex-
poets to graduate from the ranks of the
amateur and to enter the theatrical pro-
fession this fall.

B. I. C. MEETING OFF
Strike Affairs Likely to Be Discussed
Thursday Instead Of This
Evening.
Bare Chance Of Settlement in Seized
ule to Be Submitted to
Contractors.

The special meeting of the Building
Trades council which was to have been
called for this evening to pass upon the
legality of the bricklayers' sympathetic
strike and to settle other questions prom
Using dissehsion In union labor ranks, Will
not be held before next Thursday even
ing.
The only thing which will prevent the
meetings being called for Thursday will
be the reaching of settlement between
the contractors and strikers this after
noon. and that is remote possibility
Robert Wilson, organizer of the Interna-
tional Hold Carriers and Building Labor
ers' union, who came here from Chicago
early in the week to bring about settle
ment Of the strike, has prepared elias
sification" which fixes nine-hour day at
a minimum of % cents an hour, with time
and a half for overtime, and provides that
union helpers on concreting for buildings
shall be employed when they can be fur
nished.''
AS this incorporates practically all the
demands made by the striking laborers,
the contractors will not accept 1t unless
they reverse themselves. Interviews
with the principal ones this morning indi-
Gated that the meeting Of the Master
Builders association called for p. M
day would not accept.
Sympathy Is Not Marked.
I Evidence tnaL the DullulnS ldooAels
strike is not arousing much sympathy Tor
the cause Of the strikers Is on every hand
The union labor men regret the d1ssension
in their own ranks which promises to re-
suit from the action of the bricklayers who
are out on sympathetic strike.
The contractors regret the necessity OF
putting to some inconvenience those who
are investing money In local buildings.
The architects, while they do not wish
to be quoted are almost all In favor or
the contractors, because they do not care
! to see the unskilled laborers hold the
| balance Of power in the local labor
world.
The situation is also beginning to ap-
peal to the local brick manufacturers and
the brick jobbers They have lost two
| Jobs already. n. N. Leighton has decided
| to build the Bank Of Commerce vault with
concrete instead Of brick and Leck q
Prince have just secured permission to
finish the tunnel at the Bardwell- Rooln-
son factory with concrete in place OF
| brick.
| For Better or Worse.
! Failure to reach settlement this az
ternoon will mean meeting Of the Trades
Council and as a consequence either the
calling off Of the strike or a tighter tie
up than ever.
