FAVOR STATE USE PLAN.
Fryberger Would Have Convicts Make
Clothing for PubIic's Wards.

A bill providing for the employment
of convictS at Saltwater in the manu-
facture of clothing, for use in the state
institutions, and strictly limiting the
number of convicts that may employ
ed in any field of labor, will probably
result, from the investigation which
the prison labor committee has COM
pleted.
The investigation was secured by
Mr.. Fryberger, Hennepin, who repre-
'sentS the Minneapolis shoe manufac-
turers and the labor unions. The con-
tractors manufacturing shoes within
the state prison, a representative of
the outside manufacturers, representa-
tives of union labor and prison and
state officials were examined, and Mr..
F'ryberger yesterday announced that
he is satisfied with the committees
work.
The report which has been prepared
will be accompanied by a bill embody
ing some of the recommendations
made by the union labor representa-
tives. That the bill will receive the
sanction of the prison labor commit
tee is extremely doubtful, as a major
ity of the committee is very well sat
isfied with the present arrangement.
Mr.. Fryberger said yesterday:
The investigation need proceed no
farther. We have secured all the in
formation we need, and | think we can
pass bill which will be fair and sat
isfactOry to everybody concerned.
do not believe in stamping the shoes
made at Saltwater Prison made" and
have no desire to give any industry a
black eye, but l believe that the num-
Der of convicts employed in the manu-
facture of shoes should be reduced.
while the law limits the number to
10 per cent of the free labor engaged
in the same business, the evidence Sc
cured by the committee shows that
sometimes it runs as high as 20 per
cent. 1 am in favor of reducing the
limit to per cent and of the state use
plan.
THE convicts can be employed in
the manufacture of clothing, furniture,
etc, for use in the state institutions,
and in other employments, so as not
seriously to compete with any branch
of free labor L am satisfied that the
shoe contractors are getting as much
work out of cOnvicts as they would out
of free men, and they can supply the
places of the convicts taken from them
with free men without suffering"

DoRsEYs NARROW SQUEAK.
Funmaking Saves His Sugar Bounty
Suit Measure.

Representative Dorsey yesterday
again tried conclusions with the legal
fraternity in the house over lis bill
authorizing suit against the state by
claimants under the sugar bounty act
or 1899. Dorsey came out OF the Set-to
with all his plumage, but his escape
was sufficiently spectacular to ba
highly interesting.
The bill came up on general orders,
with Representative Rosenwald in the
chair. The house was disposed to have
fun with Rosenwald, and had it, with
the result that Dorsey's bill came dam
gerously near being killed. AS it was,
it was saved only by a motion for
progress.
Dorsey got the bill on general orders
by overturning the judiciary commit
tee of twenty-five lawyers, who claim
ed it is unconstitutional. He backed
up his victory by a decision from the
attorney general, stating unequivocal-
ly that the bill is constitutional, which
added nothing to the comfort of the
ruff1ed lawyers, and those same law
yers laid for Dorsey.
When the bill came up yesterday Mr..
Armstrong, for the committee, at
once moved for indefinite postpone
ment, claiming that no one wants the
bill passed, anyhow. Dorsey came
back at them with the attorney gen.
erals opinion of constitutiOnality and
that the bill offers the only proper So
luton of a question which bids fair
to drag along from session to session,
as it has in the past. Then he trod
heavily on the toes of some of the
friends of the sugar bounty bill by
pitching into the lobby for the bill.
Mr.. Stevenson, chairman of the jul
dietary committee, insisted that the
lobby now working for the bill is a
very respectable body of men, not at
all the same men who worked for the
bill two years ago.
IF the lobbyists for this bill were
the same men who worked for it two
years ago" he said, L should vote
against it,
Rosenwald got tangled in the maze
of motions and counter motions,
among which were several for recess
and rising of the committee. Several
of the members not approaching the
highly ludicrOus situation lost their
tempers and squabbled over the merits
of the bounty appropriation bill. Final
ly the committee, in order to permit
several gentlemen to deliver speeches
on the main question, decided upon a
report of progress and let the perspir-
ing chairman out for an hours rest.

THE SLUGGING GAME.

IS football on the decline amateur sport? The
attack made by Prof. Hollis of Harvard on the game
and the methods pursued by the managers followed as
1t has BEEN by comments of college papers, would indi
cate that the game has passed tie zenith of its popularity
If this is there will be no great regret felt bv
the general public for the game has degenerated into
system of money making to very great extent and
the playing OF it contributes largely to keeping alive the
old human appetite that made the games of the classic
amphheater popular
Under the present rules of the game contest is
not SO much matter of skill of brute strength and
savagery. The method of playing has changed SO that
the players necessarily massed and the spectator
who is not expert can know nothing of what is going
on until the ball is advanced end the wounded are car
red off after scrimmage.
Time was when it was clean decent and beathful
sport. Today it is merely the pttng of Drawn and
beef against beef and Drawn equal proportion SO near
ly may be- The casualties the grdiron last season
attained appalling proportions and had much to~do with

RED LAKE CLOSED
ANOTHER YEAR
Reservation Will Not Be
Thrown Open Till Treaty
Is Ratified.

Register Peterson. of the Crookston
land office, is authority for the state
ment that it will be at least a year
before the 100000 acres in the Red
Lake reservation will be thrown open
for settlement.
Deputy State Auditor Thompson has
received so many letters from all parts
Oh the country asking when the land
would be thrown open that he wrote
Register Peterson for information. and
yesterday received the following let
ter from that official
If you have more inquiries regard
ing this matter than [ have. [ pity
you. The trouble is that we cannot
give any information at all about the
matter. Maj. Mclaughlin made a
treaty with the Red Lake band of
Indians for a cesson of about eleven
townships of the diminished reserva-
ton for $3.50 per acre, to be paid and
guaranteed by the government. This
requires an appropriation of about ST.
0Oe, 900
The treaty was not ratified. Sena-
tor Clapp introduced and had passed
a bill providing that the right to home
stead should be sold to the highest
bidder. but that the minimum price
should be 81 per acre. One-ffth Of
this amount is to be paid in cash and
the balance in five annual installments.
Beside paying this amount, the
successful bidder has to comply with
the homestead law as to residence and
improvements. The law has to be
agreed to by the Indians, and if they
agree the law says they shall be given
SIX months to remove their improve
ments 1t will, in my opinion. take at
least twelve months to get the lands
on the market"

GUESTS OF DULUTH CLUB.
Legislature Accepts invitation to Ze-
NTH City and Tour of Iron Ranges.

Min CIty ana our or iron Ranges.
The legislature, as a body, will in
vestigate the commercial possibilities
of Duluth and the iron ranges and par
take of the hospitality of the Duluth
Commercial club next week.
The house and senate formally ac-
copied the invitation of the Duluth
Commercial club, which has been pend
ing for several days, and which con-
templates a junket such as the legis-
lature has not enjoyed for several SEES
sions In fact, not since the insane
hospital committee, with two-thirds of
the legislature and 100 ladies, made
tour of the state in 1897 has junket of
such magnitude been offered the hard
working solons. The bright particular
feature of the pending trip is that the
expense will not be borne by the state.
The invitation was presented to the
house by Representativ Budd and the
senate by Senator Pugh. The accept
ance was unanimous in both instances.
The programme is so far only tenta-
tive. The legislators will leave ST.
Paul Friday afternoon, March 20, by
special train furnished by the Duluth
club. Friday evening a banquet will
be served at the clubs new quarters,
and Saturday the legislative party
will start on a short tour of the
ranges. The special train for the range
trip will consist of sleeping and dining
cars, and will be retained by the party
until it arrives in st. Paul Monday
morning.

PROTECTS THE FAKERS.
Nyquist Would Repeal Newspaper
Subscription Law.


Representative Nyquist yesterday
introduced in the house a bill, which,
II enacted, will shatter a time honored
but practically dead law, which for
many years has graced the statutes of
Minnesota, but which has never done
much for the country newspaper men,
whom it was designed to protect
Mr.. Nyquist's bill provides that no
publisher of a-neWSpaper or periodical
may collect for such paper or periodical
II it has not been subscribed for, nor
for any time beyond the expiration of
the original subscription, unless the
subscriber renewS or specifically di-
reefs a continuance
The present law provides that the
publisher may collect for his paper as
long as it is not refused by the sub
scriber, or until he is specifically noti-
fled to discontinue and all arrearages
are paid. The original intent of the
law was to protect the publishers of
country newspapers. 1t is claimed that,
as a matter of fact, they have never
aVailed themselves of it's provisions in
any marked degree, and that the only
benefits from it have been derived by
the publishers of fake and mail order
periodicals, who have used it as a club

LIMIT REACHED IN
ABUSE OF SOLDIERS
Socialist Leader Tells of an Officers
Outrageous Conduct.

BERLIN, March 9.-Herr Bebel. the
Socialist leader, during the debate on
the military budget in the reichstag
today, said the higher classes of So
Ciety were in a state of permanent con-
Spiracy against the law and religion,
so far as duelling was concerned. All
the military courts and the fixed opin-
ion of the military class, including his
majesty, regard duelling as necessary
in the army notwithstanding the reich
stays resolutions on the subject and
against the weight of public opinion.
Herr Bebel referred in detail to the
recent Instances of duelling and COM
planned of the invariable pardoning Of
duellists before their terms of impris-
Onment had been completed
Turning to the ill treatment of Ger
man soldiers, he said it was common
for old Gergeants to boast of their in
genuity in abusing young privates.
Most of the extreme instances, the
speaker added, were those of weak
minded young fellows, sometimes Dor
dering on idiocy, who ought not to be
in the service, and who would not be
there if militarism did not bias the
minds of the medical officers.
Among the incidents referred to by
the Socialist leader was that of h pri-
vate who was compelled to open his
mouth while sergeant spat into it
several times
"One must wonder" said Herr Be
bel, that the man treated thus did
not have the moral courage to stab
such a beast to death"
Herr Kunert, Socialist, attempted to
criticise the emperor's military skill in
leading the maneuvers, but Speaker
Won BalleStrem ruled that such criti-
cisms were inadmissable. Herr Kun
ert retOrted:
Il infer from your ruling that we can
mention God here, but not William IL"
Count Won Ballestrem had to call
Herr Kunert to order three times be-
fore the latter desisted in his remarks.

THE BEECHER MEMORIAL.

Henry Ward Beecher did to dispel the fear
of the Lord and nculcate the love of His name than
any other American preacher. 1t he who knocked
the bottom out of hell" and instead of terrorizng men
with visions of raging fire unquenchabe he comforted
them with the assurance that God is love
Mr. Beecher was not the first to preach the Chris
anty of today but he was the first to make it popular
His sympathy great his mind, and these
qualities possessed in superative degree made him
foremost American preacher for a generation.
1t is desired to some fitting memorial to
his name IN Brooklyn. The suggestion in favor is that
the present site of Plymouth church be converted into
park and that the park there be erected memorial
hall of PATRIOTISM which shall contain not only remind
ers of the greatness of Beecher but of other men and
events associated with the patriotic history the coun-
try For i'll addition to being great preacher Beecher
was great patriot.
Any movement which makes for park in crowded
city IS worthy OF hearty encouragement, and if for
no other the Beecher memorial should be pro-

And the managers have contributed their share to
creating the spirit of dissatisfaction. They have sacr-
feed the game the money that is be gotten out of
it. The compensation of the who manage the
teams has generally been based upon the gate receipts,
and the consequences apparent. They have used

While the interest of the public in youthful prowess

Giving of Audiences Does Him Good
Rather Than Harm

PARIS, March "a dispatch from
Rome says a correspondent has OBJ
tanned an interview with prelate at
tached to the Vatican, showing the
real state of the popes health.
THE reception of 5000 pilgrims yes
terday did not fatigue the pontitf Sc
riously,' the correspondent asserts
In fact, the audiences and recent
solemnities seem to have had the eff
feet of stimulating the vital force of
the man. His chief sources of fatigue
have been the giving of long, private
audiences, and serious work with the
cardinals and officials of the Vatican.
The only thing the matter with the
pope is rather stubborn cold, which
cannot be expected to be entirely cured
before a fortnight. 1t is only then that
DR.. Lapponi can form an opinion as
to whether the .pope's weakness may
result fatally. Although it has been
denied, the symptom which is causing
