EXCURSION TRAINS
HAUL THOUSANDS
Low Rate Fills St. Paul Streets
With Visitors From the
Country Districts.

So many visitors arrived in ST. Paul
and Minneapolis yesterday from points
on the three roads granting excursion
rates to the Twin Cities-the. Omaha
the Great Western and the Minneapo-
lis & st. Louis-that extra equipment
and special trains had to be added to
handle the crowds which left the two
cities last night.
1t is estimated that over 1000 visit
ors were in st. Paul yesterday as a re-
suit Of the excursion rates, and that
an equal number visited Minneapolis
The excursion trains Of the Omaha
arrived in the city Saturday afternoon
and the visitors remained in town over
night and left last night. Three trains
on the Omaha road, loaded to the
guards, carried the visitors, and in Or
der to provide accommodation for
! them, as well as the regular travel, the
Omaha put on two special trains out
OF the Twin Cities last night.
The Great Western brought in three
trafnloads Of visitors yesterday morn
ing from points in Southern Minnesota
. and Northern Iowa. Extra equipment
on the regular scheduled trains and one
special was necessary to handle the
outgoing crowds last night
The Minneapolis & st. Louis ran two
excursion trains into the Twin Cities
Yesterday morning and each was load
ed. One extra train and special equip
ment was put on to handle the out
going crowds.

BURGLARS AT WORK
Shoe Store Is Robbed and Sus.
poets Are Arrested.

Burglars broke into Philip Fabel's
shoe store, 1877 West Seventh street,
yesterday morning at o'clock by fore
ing an entrance through rear win
dow, which was broken, and after pick
ing over the stock, selected and made
away with twelve pairs of shoes.
An attempt was made by the thieves
to break open the rear door, but failing
here they turned to the window, which
was also protected by iron bars. Three
of the bars were prfed off and the
window was smashed. It Is thought
that the burglars broke the window at
the moment the o'clock owl car
was passing, as the sound Of falling
glass was not heard by tenants of the
building on the floor above, who later
heard the movements of the thieves
and notified the police.
AS the space between the bars which
were removed was only twelve inches
wide it is thought that a small man
was selected to enter the store and
hand the booty to his confederates out
side
Of the twelve pairs of shoes taken
four were of a firSt-ciasS pattern. These
were taken from one part of the shelves
while four more boxes were removed
from another shelf, and four more, of
a different style and quality, from an
other part of the store. The shoes
taken were without F'abeFs label, which
is upon most of the goods he has in
stock, and it is thought that the bur-
glar ranSaeked the store for shoes
which might not be detected. No at
tempt was made, apparently to rob
the cash drawer, as it was found in Or
der when examined
The burglars after securing the shoes
left the boxes in a barn in the rear of
the store, where they were found yes
terday morning.
The police, notified by one Of the
tenants of the building, who saw the
men run away at 3:15, commenced an
investigation, and yesterday afternoon
placed four men under arrest. The
men gave their names as John Sulli-
van, Joe Clinton, Mike Kerns and Will
liam ORourk. They were held at the
station last night, but no charges were
placed against them.

LOCAL PUCS BATTLE
FOR TWENTY ROUNDS
St. Paul Sports Pull Off Prize
Fight Below South St.

Pat Ebbs, who claims Denver. Chica-
go ana ST. Paul as his home, fought

holzer, of st. Paul. yesterday after
noon, the bout being witnessed nv
about sixty five local fight followers.
who went down the river on a charter
ed boat
The fight was. pulled off about mile
below South st. Paul, the ring being
pitched in a pasture a short distance
back from the river The affair had
been kept quiet for fear of official in
terference, and only few of the IA
vored ones were in on the deal, which
is said to have been quite fast at times
The boat, carrying the principals and
the spectators, left st. Paul shortly be-
fore o'clock yesterday afternoon, re-
turning about Z in the evening. Ban
holzer had the best of the argument
during the early part of the contest,
but soon tired, and before the tenth
round had been reached Ebbs was Civ
ing him all he could care for. When
the fight was half over both fighters
were pretty We'll pounded up and blood
had flown quite freely. The last ten
rounds found both men tired out, and
the affair became too tame to be inter-
esting.
Banholzer drew first blood in the
third round, and in the fourth and fifth
had his man going, scoring two knock
downs in the fifth, one of which would
have undoubtedly finished the import
ed pug had not the gong sounded when
1T did. Ebbs took a brace, however
and in the seventh and eighth rounds
Banholzer was forced to use defensive
tactics. In the seventh. Ebbs caught
BanhOlZer on the left jaw with a right
hook, and the local man went down
hard regaining his feet just in time to
rob his opponent of knockout. Again
in the eighth, before BanhOlzer had
fully recovered from his groggy feel
ing, EbbS landed his left in the stom-
ach Of the local man, and again Ban
holZer took the count.
The gong saved the local boy any
further punishment in this round, and
when the two came together in the
ninth, after a short mix in which no
one was particularly injured, the fight
assumed a tameness that was disgust
ing to the spectators.
During the last ten rounds both fight
ers used their feet more than their
mitts, and few damaging blows were
landed by either Of them. Ebbs fin
ished with badly swollen eye, while
Banholzer's nose was badly injured.

BEFORE THE ALTAR
SHE TAKES POISON
Handsomely Dressed Woman Seeks to
End Her Life in Church.

NEW YORK, May 15.-Mystery sur
rounds the attempt of handsomely
gOwned woman to end her life with
poison in St. Francis Roman Catholic
church in Lincoln road, near Nostrand
avenue, F'1atbush. The victim, who
walked nearly to the altar before swaI-
lowing the poison, is dying in the Kings
county hospital. She refused to say
why she sought death or to disclose
her identity.
The young woman was seen to turn
the corner from NOStrand avenue and
enter the empty church about o'clock
Nicholas Meade, the sexton of the
church, which is attended by the most
fashionable people in that exclusive
section of Brooklyn, found the woman
fifteen minutes later gTOaning near the
chancel raid. On the floor was a bottle
marked poison" Father Ludeke, the
pastor, administered the last rites Just
as the ambulance arrived.
DR.. Hartung, of the hospital. and
three other physicians restored the
woman to consciousness after an hour.
She refused to give her name. but
when pressed said they might call her
MARY Ryan" She said it was not her
real name. Then she said she was
twenty-five years old and lived in Man
haitian. Turning to a nurse she said
with a wan smile:
L shall have to try again, I sup
pose"
DR.. Hartung said the poison prob
ably had eaten through the lining of
the stomach, and he feared she would
die.

PRINTERS NEAR END
OF FIERCE CAMPAIGN
Members of International Ty-
biographical Union to Elect
President Wednesday.

A noted campaign has been fought
for control of the International Typo
graphical union, and when the votes
are polled Wednesday James M. Lynch
Or Charles E. Hawkes. will rule the or
ganlzation, one of the most powerful
unions in the country.
In the campaign, which has been the
most fierce in the history Of the union
the discussion has not all hinged upon
ems, standard Of measurement"
. scales control of subsidiary work.
men, or anything of the kind but has
largely partaken of discussion of the
! financial situation so far as the union
is concerned, and although a hard
fight has been made against Lynch,
who is now president of the body, it is
predicted by some of the more infiu-
entail printers that he will carry the
st. Paul union over Hawkes., although
No. 80 was one of the unions which
nominated Hawkes..
Unless the Hawkes. people can
change the situation in the few re-
naming days all the chances are in
favor of the reelection of Lynch. The
fight was largely made from Chicago
and st. Paul in the interest of Hawkes.,
splred his supporters with enthusiasm
It seems that the conservative and
stay-at-hOme element of the union will
choose Lynch in preference to the
dashing Chicago candidate Against
Hawkes. it Is claimed that he is radical
and that with him at the head of such
an organization there would follow
trouble in the readjustment Of the hum
dreds of machine scales that are to ex-
p1re during the next year.
If Lynch goes down to defeat it will
be due entirely to. the financial show
ing, which the Hawkes. followers de-
clare cannot be considered favorable
During the past year they claim the
amount in the treasury of the organi-
zation has been reduced, rather than
increased, and the year was compare
lively free from strikes. The strongest
criticism of the Hawkes. men has been
based upon the alleged unreasonable
expense accounts of the organizers
There are a number of printers who
believe that neither of the men is en-
tirely fitted to occupy the position,
and there is a sentiment in favor of a
return to the old convention election
BY delegates, instead of by the referen-
dunn vote that is now in force, and
which makes it certain that one Of the
two will be chosen.
