RESULTED IN FAILURE
Employers Could Not Persuade Painters t
Cult Council.

Employers Could Not Persuade Painters to
Cult Council.
Failure resulted in the first attempt to
ing Trades council. Such was the out
como of the conference last night between
the master painters and the members of
the Painters union. It was held at the
request Of the masters, who wished such
modification Of the annual working agree
ment as to allow them to work union
painters on any job, which would practi-
cally result In q withdrawal from the
council.
AS predicted, nothing came from the
meeting. The union stood firm for the
principle that union men shall not work
on non-union jobs. A. G. cambridge,
business agent of the union, said this
morning that the bosses and the union
are still on good terms, and that the
union believes it to be better to remain
in the council. Otherwise, members would
be subject to such competition as would
place the organization where it was three
years ago.
The union stands firm, and it is evil
Gent, unless there was a change of atti-
tude, that another conference would be
without avail Contractors interviewed
to-day do not seem to see any new phase
in the labor situation from the failure to
come together last night, but say that ii
is only a step in the working out of the
whole problem.
Some difficulty was experienced yester-
day on the Keith building, G. F. Haglin
contractor, when two union steamfltters
discovered non-union men were on the
same job.

III. M. S. PINAFORE'

ATroupe Of Children VIII Sing the Fa-
mIliar Opera
A juvenile performance Of the comic
opera, 'H: M. S. Pinafore," is something
new in Minneapolis, and considerable in
terest has been aroused in the presenta-
ton, which will take place in the Lyceum
theater tomorrow afternoon. The affair
is under the direction Of Mrs. st. John
Brenon, who. with Claude Madden, has
been holding daily rehearsals on the Ly-
ceum stage. The children take their
parts exceedingly well, and the chorus
work is particularly good, for the familiar
music loses none of its charm in being
sung by the childish voices. Mamie Hal
perrin takes the role of Sir Joseph Porter;
Hans Edward Captain Corcoran; Bernice
Kolhass. Ralph Rackstraw; Eunice Mitch
ell, Dick Deadeye; Victor Hayden, Bill
Bobstay; Clifford Scheele, Tom Tucker;
Olive Olson, Josephine; Vera Lange,
Hebe, and Grace Emery, Little Buttercup,
and there are large choruses of sailors
and marines and sisters, cousins and
aunts. Miss Ethel Malcolm has charge
Of the dancing.

Special to The Journal.
Kansas City, June "A small sheet
iron trunk, of the same variety as the
one containing nitroglycerene that ex-
ploded at the union station last Mon
day night, was sent thru Kansas City
last night.
1t also was labelled Minnesota
School Of Mines and came in on the
Rock Island from El Paso, Texas, I'd
be delivered to the Wabash for Mime
apolis. Its owner was here, but he
had heard Of the explosion which in
jured the three baggagemen and
failed to give him name.
If there was any explosive in any
Of the trunks" said the student, Il
know nothing Of it. There is none in
mine. We used explosives in our
work, but I don't know how any OF
that got in a TRUNK. We had nitro
glycerine and giant powder, but we
were careful with them. y
st do not know where Professor
McCarty is, but I think he has started
home.'
The authorities have found sec
ton in the Missouri statutes that
makes it a misdemeanor to carry
nitroglycerin or other high explosives
the state. Offenses are punishable
by maximum fine Of $500 and a
year in jail. If a person is killed by
an explosion resulting from viola
ton of this statute, the offense Is
defined as manslaughter.
The men who were injured will
sue the owner Of the exploded trunk
for damages. There probably will be
| criminal prosecution also. E.s

EGGEN A PROBLEM
No Place Can Be Found For an Unfor-
tunate Sufferer.

Tosten Eggen the former clergyman
who Is so afflicted IS still being tossed
from pillar to post. He cannot be COM
nitted to the home for the feeble minded
at Faribault, having been refused admit
lance by the board of control. He is now
at the city hospital a1tho clearly not a
proper case for that institution. Super
intendent w. P. Barton Of the poor de-
partment holds that Eggen Is insane. He
has been at the workhouse, poor farm,
city hospital, lookup and the county jail,
but the officials of each declare that he
does not come within their jurisdiction.
He refuses absolutely to remain at places
provided by his friends, and if he cannot
be judged insane everybody Is helpless.

ENLARGEMENT PLANNED
Y. M. O. A. Would Establish Club at
/ Lake Calhoun.

Elaborate possibilities are back of
the Y. M. C. AS application to the
park board for permission to erect
lighthouses at Lake Calhoun. If per-
mission Is granted a swimming club
will be organized at once. Eventual
ly it is hoped that this may grow into
a club with suitable dressing rooms,
hot and cold showers, reading and
lounging-roonas, and that a fleet Of
boats may be owned and controlled by
the club.
OF course, such an organization can
not be built up in a short time. In
fact, the Y. M. G. A. is very limited in
funds and all that can be hoped for
at present is that the swimming clubs
can be transferred from the gym. tank
to the lake. AS the interest grows the
improvements will follow. It is ex-
pected that the park commissioners
will act on the petition in a few days

John Rosene, president Of the

eastern Siberian company, said yes
terday, in st. Paul, that Alaska IS just
beginning to realize the extent Of it's
mineral resources. The people who
went there in the rush and settled
down to work are earning the reward
Of their patience. Gold digging and
gold hunting are organized into an
industry and the workers are familiar
with conditions and Injured to the eli
mate. Machinery is rapidly being in
troduced and railroads greatly facil-
itate traffic.
Asiatic traffic, Mr.. Rosene said, has
been little affected by the Russo-Jap-
anese war. Business with the nations
involved is limited somewhat, but
business with the Chinese and Sibe-
rian ports is as good as ever.

In LOCAL FLOUR MILLS

All the flour mills will close to-mor-

There is no particular significance

CHoWEN DISAPPOINTED
Former Mlnnesotan Not Proud Of oul
Building at the Expo.

Herbert Chowen, prominent in Great
Falls, Mont, where he has lived for twen-
ty years, is making a short visit with
City Engineer Andrew Rinker after a
trip to the world S fair. Being a native
of Minnesota and raised and educated In
this state, Mr.. Chowen paid more atten-
ton to the Minnesota building than he
would otherwise, and he was somewhat
disappointed.
In appearance the building is not dis
pleasing, he says, but it IS small and In
significant when compared with the
buildings of younger and much smaller
states It is completely overshadowed In
appearance and in furnishings by the
Montana and Idaho buildings.
