General Miles Break.

General Miles appears to have done
Just what the anti-imperialists were
looking for. The head of the army comes
forward with lot of.stuf, claiming it to
he facts in connection with outrages
perpetrated upon the natives CT the Phil
ippine islands by American soldiers: As
General Miles was in the Philippines but
four weeks he certainly could not have
made thorough investigation of these
charges, which are made by him on
beresay evidence Among other officers of
the army who was maligned by General
Miles is Major Edward L. Glenn The
attack has caused Major Glenn's brother
iu-law, George c. Squires of st. Paul,
to write an open letter to Miles in which
he challenges the statements made by
the latter Mr. Squires makes some
rather pointed remarks and calls atten-
ton to the fact that the general secured
most of his information from the treach-
erous fellows who have caused no end of
trouble for the American soldiers. Gen
eral Miles has made a bad break.

HICKS PREDICTION.
From Thursdays Daily.

From Thursdays Daily.
Prof. Hicks says that regular storm
period is central on May extending to
the 4th On the 9Th and 7th lookout for
a decided change in barometer and
quite warm, sharp electrical storms.
Moon crosses the equator ON the 9th and
heavy thunder storms will be most
natural on that day. Possible frosts
northward on nights between 18th and
10th inclusive. Storms which Mr. Hicks
says may be dangerous he books from
the 10th to 18th and 18th to 18th. The
last regular storm period for May reaches
from the 22d to a8th and is one in which
heavy and dangerous storms are proba-
BILE. The professor also says that May
and June are the months this year in
which to collect and store supplies of
water and that those who depend on
rains for such supply will do well to heed
this warning.

PUZZLES THE BOARD.
Game and Fish Commission Doesn't
Know Where 1t Is At.

From Thursdays Daily.
Has Minnesota any game and fish COM
mission since the new game. and fish law
was passed?
This is the question which was discuss
ed and agitated at a meeting of the COM
mission this morning
The board answered the question by re-
signing in bunch.
1t is now up to the governor to create
a new state game and fish commission.
The members of the board who re-
signed are: S. F. Fullerton, of Duluth
G. b. Ward. of Fairmont; Uri Lamprey
of st. Paul; d. W. Meeker, of Moorhead
and HI. G. Smith, of Winona
There is considerable doubt as to
whether they can resign or not.
1t is more than likely that the new
law saves them this trouble by having
legislated them out of office.
The new law says that. Immediately
upon its passage the governor shall APP
point a board of game and fish commits
siOners to consist of five members, and
that they shall hold office for one, two
and three years, and two for four years
In the next paragraph it is stated that
the present members shall serve out
their terms. The last paragraph of the
law expressly repeats all other acts re-
ferring to the subject of fish and game
Obviously this would do away with the
board
The board was unable to figure out
just where it was left by this law, or
what, if any authority, was left to it
under the law
1t was decided to await the return of
the governor and submit the entire mat
ter to him for decision.
It is rumored later in the day that the
members had all decided to tender their
designations to the governor that he
might create new board as he saw fit.
1t was limited by some persons on the
inside that some of the designations were
prompted entirely by a feeling of hos
tility to one member of the board, based
on certain actions of that member in his
official capacity. The other members, it
is said, would not accept a reappointment
unless this particular member was drop
ped.
The governor has neat little prob
uem on his hands when he gets home

rlodern Financiering.

When the United States Steel corpor-
alton was organized, a syndicate of I'M
derwriters was formed which agreed,
as far as the agreement can be inferred
from the very scanty information given
out, TO insure the stocks or bonds or
both, to have a specified value and to
make good any depreciation below that
figure, says The st. Paul Dispatch. The
syndicate agreed to make good to the
extent of $200,000,000. In fact it made
good only TO the extent of S25,000,000.
That is all the cash it put up. 1t has
received from dividends ON the steel's
stocks given it as consideration for UNI
derwriting, from time to time, sums
aggragating $J0,OG0,090. 1t has netted
100 per cent on its investment.
The syndicate now dissolves, its con
tract having been performed, and final
dividend is declared and announced by
the Morgan company which financed the
operation. But year or so ago the
steel company directors decided to re-
tire S250,000,000 of its preferred per
cent stock, issuing S200,000,0O0 per cent
bonds and applying $50,000,OOO to better
ments. The right or power to do this
was contested, but the courts finally held
a new system is formed with the inevi-
table Morgan company in the ascendency
and members of the old underwriting
syndicate are informed that their final
dividend will be paid to them, 10 per cent
ia cash and 80 per cent in certificates of
participation in the preferred stock-re
tirement syndicate
Mr.. MOrgans company, forming part
of the directorate of the steel company,
agreed with the steel company to finance
this retirement on a commission of $l0,-
100000. In brief words, Mr.. Morgan,
tinancier, agreed with Mr.. Morgan, di-
rector, TO effect the exchange on > per
cent commission. New Jersey courts up

10 carry the Job alone with his new re-
tired syndicate, and, probably, thinking
that the men in the old underwriting
syndicate, whose nests he helped feather
IuXuriously, should bear hand in this
new enterprise, he placidly appropriates
80 per cent of their last dividend to in
vest in the new bond issue of the steel
company. Whether this carries with it
share in that snug commission is not
stated Probably not, for it was said
that, after the laws delay of the con
version for more than year, the ma
lority of the steel directors would have
abandoned the plan, but the syndicate
that was to finance it and earn the ten
million commission, held the company to
its bargain.
All of which indicates how easily
wealth may be acquired if one but
has a genius for finance.

There's money.in slang if the language
of the street is put together properly.
George AIDE can testify to this as being
true He is "slanger" of the real or
der A postmaster in the art of telling
a story i'll words that sometimes require
a diagram for the uninitiated into the
realms of slangdom. AIDE writes his
Fables in Slang" with as much ease and
comfort, as a tramp eats ''handout."
AIDE came from small town in Chicago
and landed in Chicago where he was en-
ployed on The Daily News as reporter.
He made a record as newsgatherer and
his stories were put together in style
which attracted attention from not only
newspaper men, but the public as well.
Taking to syndicate writing AIDE made a
decided hit. This year he entered into
a $4,000 contract to furnish slang as
called for. He has written couple of
comic operas and will give the play go
ing people another just as soon as The
spirit moves him. Yes, slang pays, but
it hassgot to be framed up in the right
style in order to bring unto its writer
the sheisles. AIDE knows how to do it.

reason why he should not be endorsed.
Mr.. Frazier attended Platteville normal

1t had generally been supposed that
larger building was contemplated, but,
as it is. the new depot will not be as
large as the union depot of the Omaha

$4,000. The contract is to be let as
