St. PAUL LANDS It.
State Bowling Tournament Is Lost
to Minneapolis for This
Year at Least.
Minneapolis Owners Refuse to. Do
nate the Use Of Their Alleys
for the Meet.

The state bowling tournament will be
held In st. Paul next month. That was
decided at meeting of the executive
committee Of the State Bowling League in
st. Paul yesterday.
It had been expected that the tourfia-
ment would come to Minneapolis, where
the Cooperative alleys furnish by far. the
best place for a contest of such magni-
tude. The matter was decided, however,
for financial reasons. The Cooperative
alleys would make no reduction from the
regular rates of 10 cents per man per
the privilege4zof charging any admission.
fee it might see fit. The X C.. alleys
Of Minneapolis and the Court Doris and
Ffster alleys Of st. Paul each offered the
use of the alleys free of charge, as well as
the admission privileges. Charles Maf1ler
OF the -Pfster alleys promised to increase
the seating capacity Of his building to
eco, give the leave the exclusive use of his
alleys during the time set for the tourna-
ment, allow the league to charge any. ad-
mission 1T might wish, and he also guar
anteed a donation of $50 from the st. Paul
alley owners. This offer was accepted.
w. G. FusI of the board Of directors
Of the Co-operative alleys said in ex-
planning the attitude of the company:
..NNe were naturally desirous Of getting
5the tournament for Minneapolis but we
felt that as a business proposition we
could not afford to lose all our trade for
two or three days and give the league the
use of our alleys gratis We offered the
alleys at the regular rates, but we also
gave the league the admission privilege,
which would more than have paid for the
alleys. The St.sPaul men, however, were
ANXIOUS to get the tournament, because
they felt that their teams would stand
more chance If they metEus away from
home.'
It was decided by the executive COM
mittee yesterday that; all the clubs Of the
Minneapolis league and tn City league Of
st. Paul be restricted,t to teams of bona
fide members of those leagues. Any club
in either Of these leagues can enter more
than one team in the state tournament
provided the teams are composed of bona
gde members. All other clubs in the
state are allowed to pick outsiders and
either of the two large leagues mentioned.
The tournament will be governed by the
American Bowling congress rules.
The meeting of delegates from the DIFF
ferent clubs will be held next Sunday at
346 Minnesota street, st. Paul, and final
arrangements made for the tournament.

WEIR WANTS FIFTY TELEPHONES. System Will Make 1t Possible for Po-
 licemen to Report Every Hour.

In order that the policemen may "hello" into the main office frequently during the day and night. Chief of Police Wier is rapidly getting things into shape to secure a telephone system.
 During the past two days he has been in conference with the managers of the Peoples and Bell Telephone companies, and before the next meeting of the city council he will have definite propositions from each
 A proposition for fifty phones has all ready been made by the Peoples com pany. and MT. Woodruff of the Bell com pany will probably submit a proposition tomorrow or Tuesday.
 Chief wier does not entertain any fears of the request for the system being de- nied by the mayor and board of aldermen. as it will cost very little more than one policeman does a year, and it will be much more valuable than two or three policemen.
 The idea of Chief Wier is to have fifty telephones placed on the outside beats in order that the policemen may be com municated with every hour, and anything that happens may be telephoned into the chiefs office at once without waiting to reach a telephone in some private ress- dence or store.
 Several of the aldermen have expressed i themselves as favoring the system and have agreed to aid as far as possible in getting an appropriation for 1t.

HANNA'S IRE AROUSED.
Ohio Senator Denies That He Has
 Been Circulating Literature.

According to a New York paper Senator Hanna's ire has been aroused by a story which was printed in a Washington news paper. It was a dispatch from Birming- ham to the effect that literature boom- Ing MT. Hanna for the presidency was being sent to that and other southern states from Ohio. One circular accord ing to the dispatch, announced that This friends who are in charge of affairs de . sire that the boom take life and form outside of Ohio."
 There is absolutely no truth in that story so far as I am aware" said Sem ator Hanna this evening. 'I do not believe any such literature is being circulated, but if I am mistaken on that point 1t is being done without my authority More over, any such course would be idiotic, especially in view of my attitude in re- gard to the presidency. l announced right after the Ohio election last week that my attitude on that point was not modified by the outcome of the campaign was not candidate before the state election and am not candidate now, and will not be-

expressed a desire to have the Alabama building designed as a copy of the Capi- tol at Montgomery, which was the cradle of the Confederaey. There are hundreds of thousands of people in the United States who would like to see a good rep resentation of the building in which the greatest war of the century was started and where the first capitol of the Confed- eracy was located.
 It is estimated that an Alabama build ing with good agricultural exhibit, will cost about $25,00O or $9OOO0 and the mem bers of the Commercial club propose to- morrow to pledge a nice sum for that purpose if the members of the associa- tion from other parts of the state will promise. to start a fund in their respec- tive sections.

Board of Revenue AppIOprataS S5OOO Towards the Gen.
 era| State fund
PARTY FROM COMMERCIAL
 CLUB PRESENTS THE CASE
With This Good Start It Is Believed Other Counties in the State Will Follow Suit, and Success
 Is Assured.

Quite an impetus was given the move ment to have Jefferson county exhibit at the St. Louis exposition yesterday when the Board of Revenue gave s5OOO towards the subscription.
 The appropriation was made readily and there was no hesitation on the part of the members of the board. It was given after committee from the Commercial club had appeared before the board and set forth the conditions in a few short talks.
 It is believed this makes the exhibit certainty.
 The committee from the Commercial club appeared before the board at 10 o'clock and the money was appropriated in less than an hour. The committee con sisted of President Fred M. Jackson, B. F. Roden. R. N. Rhodes, Ross C. Smith, James J. Smith, T. c. Bush R. M. Good all, F. w. Dixon, Culpepper Exum, Robert Jemison, M. V. Joseph, J. B. Gibson, Frank Nelson. Jr.. and Joseph Beitman.
 Several members of the committee made short talks setting forth the advantages of the Jefferson county mineral exhibit, and outlining the plan to build an im- mense Vulcan of the various minerals mined in the district. They told of the visit of a committee to St. Louis and the location secured there. as well as their impressions of the size and beauty of the fair.
 Jefferson Can Raise $2o,ooo. It was shown that Jefferson county would raise at least $200OO for this exhibit and to aid in having a general state ex- hibit and that if the Board of Revenue would make this appropriation 1t would encourage other similar organizations in doing the same.
 The board of revenue went into execu- tive session few minutes and then an- nounced that the amount asked for $5oOO would be given.
 With this as a beginning the Conner cial club committee feels that there will be no trouble in raising $15,000 more, of which amount $10o0O is to go to the Bir- mingham district exhibit and the balance to the state exhibit.
 In connection with the state exhibit there will be a meeting of the Alabama Commercial and Industrial association here tomorrow to decide on a concerted movement to have an Alabama exhibit at the exposition.
 The Commercial club will be able to re- port the beginning made yesterday and it is believed that this will encourage the members of the association to return to their homes and commence a subscrip- tion in every county and city. The idea is to have an Alabama exhibit showing the agricultureal resources of the state
 Several members of the association have
