MINNESOTA In THE LEAD
Her Contributions to- Famine Fund
Are Larger Than the
-. Figures Show. '

Governor Van SAINT is DESTROYS that the
Minnesota contribution to the Finnish,
Swedish and Norwegian famine relief
work shall reach 100000. The response
to his appeal has been generous but the
coveted 100000 mark has not been
reached nor is it likely to be, for the
work is now waning and the, total is still
sevral thousand dollars short. - -
THE governertiint tended to issue a proc
lamation for d charity Sunday, on which
all the churches of the state should take
collections for the state relief fund. This
plan has been vigorously opposed by the
chairman, L. O: Thorpe, and Treasurer n.
o. Werner Of the state commission.
They think that Minnesota has done ex-
tremely well already and they rather in
cline to the opinion that there has been
enough advertising OF the distress of the
people, especially as far as Sweden and
Norway Is concerned.
AS a. matter of fact, Minnesota has
probably given much more than 500, 900
as not all the money has gone through the
governors commission. A large portion
Of the $4,000 collected by Skandinaven Of
Chicago came from Minnesota. Probably
half the money collected by, the United
Norwegian church and by Missions Van.
nen was contributed in Minnesota, while
nearly all connected by Svensks
Amerikanska Posten was Minnesota
money. In addition, some Minnesota
contributions have gone to the Christian
Herald fund and the Chicago Daily News
fund 1t is more than likely that if com
pete figures could be secured, it would
be found that Minnesota had sent ovel
$3.50, 900 to succor the starving people o.
Finland and the northern parishes o.
Sweden and Norway.
It is more than likel ythat Minnesota
leads all other states in the union in the
amount contributed.

TOO MUCH BOOM
W. C.. Gregg's Summary Of Cause q,
Us HaWaii's Lack Of Prosperit. :.

Prosperity issna't gliding the Hawaiian
islands. says William c. Gregg Of this
city, who has just returned from Queen
Ellis former estate. He is interested
there in sugar plantations. mo, business
isn't very lively in the islands-old story
too much BOOM"
The affairs Of government are also q
bit upset among the Hawaiians. Officials
are being arrested as regularly as if Homo
lulu were st. Louis. But the deliquents
across the blue Pacific; according to Mr.
Gregg, are not trying to demonstrate their
American citizenship. They are the nat
ural product Of familiar blunder, that
of intrusting with the suffrage a race not
yet prepared for civic duties. ''At the
time of the annexation Of Hawaii says
Mr.. Gregg, 1.-THE president appointed, a
commission to Investigate the needs of
the. islands. The: commission reported
against giving votes to the natives. You
see, it's only the most successful of these
men that rise to the dignity of driving a
truck. Imagine them as voters and legis-
lators! But congress drought it knew
more about the, islands by clairvoyance
than the commission had learned by per-
SORE study. So congress granted uni
versal suffrage. "A legislature was at once
elected, not. to support the nation that
had given the voters ull-fledged citizen
ship, but to back, up Queen Lii and all
the hereditary foes of annexation. Now
we are reaping the WhirlWind soWn oy the
wise men of Washington"

.PEAsE The PIONEER

Machines, but His Was
s@z q !. s# First.
Litigation. Is Probable Against 9th
ers Who Have Infringed
on His Ideas.

Some of the newspaper accounts of sue
cessful glassblowing machine tests by
the American Window Glass company
have%stated that the devise used was the
Invention of john III. Lubberss of Ander-
son, Ind, a great glass center. Inas-
much as Roger r. Pease; formerly OF
Minneapolis, is the inventor of such a
machine reported to have been adopted
by the American company, T e j O r.
n a has made special inquiry to clear
away the ambiguity and place the credit
where it belongs. -~
Frank NJ. Gessner, editor of the Ma
tional Glass Budget at Pittsburg writes
as follows in answer to the inquiry: 49,
"The American Window Glass COM
pany has bought up eighty-six patents
appertaining to the mechanical process
Of blowing gas. Experiments have been
Systematically carried on in Allegheny
City for the past six years, and over half
a million dollars have been expended in
developing the present method.
THE process followed is that of Roger
S. Pease, since he antedates most of the
other patentees by eight and eleven
in 1891, covering the bait and drawn
neck, and the expanded shoulder of the
cylinder, without which step method no
cylinder glass can be mechanically made,
are more or less directly infringed by all
subsequent + inventors or alleged inven-
tors. saas@ = :. ss >
when the patents go through court, as
think they will before long. it will be
found that Pease was the pioneer, and
| that all the rest are but badgers and imi-
! tators to whom his patents blazed the
way. - :.@ T..
$50 certain sit that mo cylinder can
be successfully blown and drawn without
infringing on the Pease step method that
two Of his first patents, taken out in
1891, have been bought by the American
company, and he has been engaged by
the said company for a. term of three
years at an annual salary Of $4,000, as
an advisory expert. -
II wish to disparage no one, nor to &C
cord undue praise to, Mr.. .Pease. But I
have examined the record, have the pat
ents on hand, and have seen the machine
| in operation. Others than Pease have
enlisted capital, and developed his ideas.

Howe, form the. groundwork on which

Miss Matilda Nelson, the young woman
who was assaulted on Morgan avenue S
by an unknown man, Wednesday night,
is in precarious condition at the home
Of E. L. Hardness, and the physicians
fear that she may not recover. Her lungs
seem to be injured and it is feared that

The people Of that section Of the city
are greatly incensed over the affair and
are doing all in their power to aid the Off
GERS in finding the girls assailant. Miss
Nelson was able to give only a general
description of the man and 1t is hard
for the officers to locate him. No one
reports having seen the man before the
assault. -

twenty-five New York Men Claim
That They Were Compelled
to Work in Mines.
THEY SUE FOR s1,1oo,ooo.
Assert That They Were Decoyed
Into a Car at HOboken, Locked
In and Hauled Away-Com-
pany Makes Broad Denial.

New York, Dec 3l.-Suits have been
brought by twenty-five residents OF TINS
city who claim that during the recent coal
strike they were decoyed to the mines II,
Pennsylvania by agents of the Erie Hall
road and of the Pennsylvania Coal Com
pany.
Damages for $4,000 each. amounting to 81,
Ice. 900 in all, are sued for, and the attorney
for the plaintiffs consulted with an AS
sistant District Attorney to-day about
bringing the matter before the Grand Jury
to be sworn in next Monday.
The plaintiffs claim that under pretense
o. doing work for the railroad and coal
company they were decoyed to Hoboken,
where they were locked in a car and car
ried against their will to the coal regions of
Pennsylvania, and compelled to act as
strike breakers under threat of ''being
turned over TO the fury Of the miners"
The men say they finally succeeded in
making their way back to the city. but
declared that on their way home they had
narrow escapes from being mobbed.
An official of the Erie road said that no
complaint had been served as yet on the
company. He added that the company was
without information as to the cause of ac-
ton: that he was Confident that the Erie
company and its constituent company, the
Pennsylvania Coal Company, had done
nothing unlawful. and that he had no doubt
the companies would be able to successfully
defend any suits that might be brought
against them.
The company makes no misrepresenta-
tons said this official, but is always ex-
tremely careful to explain to the men the
conditions and circumstances under which
they are employed.
