CITY AND RAILROADS !. i. /.
MAY AGREE ON BRIDGES

A compromise solution may be
reached between the city and the
Northern Pacific Of the. bridge prob
lem over which the parties are at log
gerheads. For some time the city has
been trying to force the Great Northern
and the Northern Pacific to rebuild
the bridge over, the tracks at Twenty
ninth and University avenues, which
fell down after being partially de-
stroyed' by fire. "A suit to compel the
construction Of the bridge is now in the
district court. IL = ~. - is7-- :
The Northern Pacific matter was re-
ferreds by the, council to it's committees
on roads and bridges and railroads,
which met this morning in joint SEES
sion. L.. T. Chamberlain, assistant
general counsel for the Northern Pa
cifc, was present. It was suggested
that the Northern Pacific could put up
its share of the bridge at Twenty-ninth
avenue NE in consideration of being
relieved of the expense Of a bridge at
Union street, which is little desired
now. Mr.. Chamberlain said he would
urge such action upon the officials of
the road, provided the city abandoned
it's suits and showed a willingness. to
arbitrate. The committee postponed
action for two weeks to obtain a
definite reply from the company. It is
believed that the compromise will be
effected and a long, expensive litigation
avoided. 1922. ft-E~.i

PLANS FOR CHRISTMAS
SALVATION ARMY MAKING READY
TO FEED THOUSANDS OF POOR
PEOPLE.

Everyone at the Salvation Army
headquarters in the old city hall is hust-
ling to prepare for the Christmas
week IS work. The Volunteers take care
Of the needy on Thanksgiving Day, but
it falls to the lot Of the Army at Christ
mas time. Commander Jenkins having
returned from Chicago is personally
experimenting the work. Ensign
Storey is visiting the various branches
in Minnesota and South Dakota. He will
return next week. ..*
Altho preparations mean the provid-
ing of basket dinners for the poor fami-
lies in the city and the feeding Of per-
haps a thousand homeless persons at
the hall, the daily work of taking care
Of the needy is not neglected. One poor
widow was found yesterday friendless
and in want, the only furniture in her
small room being, a borrowed chair and
a drygoods box. Last year her husband
was with the Army workers in their
Christmas labor, helping them to pro-
vide for the helpless.
A record has been kept of the num-
Der of applicants for work helped since
the starting Of the employment bureau.
These figures show that a constantly
increasing number of !, men = is being
helped each month and that the bureau
is becoming more and more nearly self
supporting, altho it's main object is to
help. The cost Of helping each man in
the five months was 6 2-3 cents and the
amount received was Is cents, the
total number Of men helped being
1929.

st. Paul Commercial club today and
discussed plans. The society has been
making excellent progress and its mem

A proclamation was drawn up by the
executive committee and addressed to
the people of Minnesota. In it the So
ciety asks the aid Of every Minnesotan
in attracting to the state worthy per-
sons who desire to change their resi-
dence. ....

ing the last ten years we have faled
to secure for this state an additional
population of at least million, who
might, by proper effort, have been in
duced to make the North Star state
their place Of residence. ,
"All that is necessary to turn the
tide of wholesome American immigrants
toward Minnesota is to meet the adver-
Using competition devoted to the bene-
fit of other localities, and to make
known, by systematic effort, the trans
cendant advantages which Minnesota
offers to honest, Industrious, energetic

PLANS TO EXTEND
The HE PRIMARY LAW
LUND WOULD APPLY IT TO STATE
OFFICERS.
The Measure Has Been Submitted to
the Legislature in Previous Sessions,
but the Hennepin Scion Says That
the Chances Are Now More Favor
able to It's Adoption. o

Representative John G. Lund of Hen
nepln contemplates introducing bill
at the coming session of the legislature
to place. the governor and all elective
state officers under the provisions Of
the primary election law. s
This measure has been much mooted
both IN and out of the legislature.
Mr.. Lund believes there is a gen
eral desire that state offices as well
as those of the cities and counties, be
brought under the primary system. He
has already consulted some thirty five
members Of the legislature. He be-
lieves the feeling in the rural districts
ls strong for general application Of
the law, and says that all Of the thirty
i've Legislators he has consulted with
favor such a. bill. esd -
The bill will also contain some
amendments to the present primary cleo
ton law, but just what they will be
is still matter for discussion. Mr..
Lund desires to include some amend-
ment that will confne voting at the
primaries to strict party lines; that
will prevent, democrats voting to nom
mate republican candidates, and repub-
licans from voting to nominate demo
cratic candidates. But Just how this
practice is to be prevented is prob
lem. ~ %5Ert7

Washington, Nov. 25.-Archbishop
ireland, in the following statement, die
tated to a Journal man, confirms the
announcement IN yesterdays Jour
nal that Rev. j. Z. Harrison has been
restored to his standing in the diocese
Of st. Paul:
Archbishop Ireland simply said he
disliked very much to speak Of mat
ter regarding his official relations with
a priest in his diocese. However, in
view of the publicity given this case
thru the press of the country, he would
say that the statement Of the case as
published is altogether incorrect. No
delegate in Father Harrison g case; no
instructions were given to the arch
bishop by the delegate.
The delegates did not in any way
take up the case judiciallly. Father
Harrison had simply an informal con-
ference with the delegates. Father
Harrison of his own motion, so far as
the archbishop knows, placed himself
in the hands Of the archbishop, who
thereon, of his own volition, released
him from all censure, and restored him
of St. Paul. This the archbishop was
glad to do, as he would have been glad
to do the same thing long ago on the
same conditions. ..
"Father Harrison is now a priest
in good standing in the diocese of st.
Paul, and will in the course of time
be assigned by the archbishop to
ministerial work, such as the arch
bishop, in his own sense of justice and
goodness Of heart, may select for him.
Father Harrison will not go to any
one Of The parishes heretofore men
toned in connection with his case"
thing as to the report that directions
for the disposition Of Father Harrison s
case had come from Rome, or to dis
cuss in any way the relation Of the col
lege of cardinals to the case. -,
Archbishop Ireland left for st. Paul
this morning.

young woman warbled commonplace
ditty which left the majority Of the
audience cold. But from the rear Of
the theater and the galleries there came
such a clatter that she was compelled
to repeat the verses many times. During
all this uproar the majority of the au-
dience sat silent.

to ask.

one. They are trying to make it APP

OBJECTED TOO SOON
A lawyers Clever Ruse to Win
Losing Case.

"A Lawyer O1cVCl nuSS W Will d
Losing Case.
Every Where.
A celebrated lawyer won case in
which he had no apparent chance, by
having the magistrates clerk put in
the witness box. He made him admit
that he had been in the room when
the judge was discussing the case on
trial; then suddenly he asked him,
- You were in the room, sir, and did
you not hear the magistrate say there
was not rag of a case against my
unhappy client?''
The prosecuting counsel objected and
the question was ruled to be inadmis-
sible. But the jurors had herad it, and
had heard the answer stopped. The
dissatisfaction thus produced in their
minds made them acquit the prisoner.
After leaving the court the prosecuting
attorney indignantly told his opponent
that he should not have put the ques-
tion, and that he must have known that
it would not be allowed.
Yes, / did, was the answer, ttbut
I knew you, too, and felt sure that
you would object at the. right time.
You should have waited for the answer,
as it would have been No.
