AUTOISTS AT MINNETONKA
Many Car Owners Become "summer Men,
bers' Of the Club.

Many Car Owners Become Summer Men,
bers" Of the Club.
An almost instantaneous response re-
suited from the announcement of the
summer membership plan Of the directors
of the Minnetonka club. A number OF
applications were received from Minne-
apolis autoists and lovers Of outdoor life,
and have continued to increase.
BY this plan those who do not wish to
become stockholders in the club and have
an active part in it's management and
business affairs are allowed, for a con-
sideration hardly in keeping with the adj
vantages offered, to have the privileges
Of the clubhouse and grounds for stated
period during the summer. It has re-
suited in the issuance of a number Of
such memberships, and from these it lis
expected that number of full member
ships will be recruited 1t gives those
who have never been associated with
country club affairs an opportunity Of
studying the conduct and advantages of
such clubs and will probably result in the
upbuilding Of the club membership.
The summer members have no voice
in the club management and are really
associate members, enjoying all Of the
privileges, for time, of club members
who are stockholders and upon whom
rests the responsibility Of club prosperity.

number of automobile owners have
already promised to get in line to
make the parade the largest of the
kind ever held in the northwest.
How They'll Form.
Knox cars will assemble at Twenty
eighth street, west of Park avenue;
Toledo cars at Twenty-eighth street,
east of Park: Haynes-Apperson and
Locomotives will assemble on Twenty
seventh street, west of Park, and
Peerless drivers will foregather on
Twenty-sixth, west of Park. Winton
street, east of Park avenue and Du-
pont, and Stearns drivers will form
a division on Twenty-sixth street,
east of Park; Whites and Packards
have been assigned to Twenty-flfth
street, west Of Park, and Yale and
Premier cars will go to the east side
Of Park, on Twenty fifth street.
Franklin and National owners will
form body on Twenty-fourth street
west of Park avenue and auto-cars
will occupy the same street on the
opposite side Of the park. Ramblers
are assigned to Twenty-second street
west of the Park avenue line and
the same street on the other side Of
Park avenue. Oldsmobiles and Cadil-
laos will divide at Park avenue on
Twentieth street, the Oldsmob1les
going to the west side of Park.
Queen and Glide cars will assemble on
Nineteenth street west of Park. All
will gather on Nineteenth street
east Of Park. Electrics will
meet on Park avenue south
Of Twenty-ninth street and fall In line
ahead of gasolene cars. Chauffeurs
have been requested to have their ma
chimes at the designated places and
ready for q start at 1880 o'clock
sharp.
A Brisk Parade.
It was the original plan to have the
parade on Saturday night. Minneapo-
lis streets in the down town dis
trict are always badly congested on
Saturday evening and 1t was thought
best to change the time to Friday
night. Special attention will be CIV
en- by the police to fractions horses
encountered and for that purpose the
limbs Of the lawswill be furnished with
low cars in order that they may dis
mount quickly in case they are need
ed. It is planned to have the parade
move at smart gait but every pre-
caution to prevent accidents will be
taken.
The line of progress of the parade
| has been made Of sufficient length to
avoid a congestion of the streets. It
is confidently expected that more than
800 cars will be in line. The task OF
arranging for the parade has been a
monumental one, but the promoters
feel that nothing has been left I'M
done to insure it's success. A person
al invitation has been extended tc
every motorist in the city and the
greater number of them have an.
nounced an intention Of turning out
and doing their share.

DETAILS OF SLAUGHTER.

st. Petersburg, Oct. 4.-The war
commission adjourned last night with
out issuing further news from the
front. An Associated Press dispatch
from Mukden, filed there at 1890
o'clock last night, states merely that
all is quiet there. There is intense
interest here in developments at Muk-
den, but the public and apparently the
authorities also, are utterly in the
dark as to what is transpiring.
London, Oct. 4.-The Daily Tele-
graphs Nagasaki correspondent,
cabling under date of September 25.
says: Terrible artillery conflicts are
adding to the horrors of the situation
at Port Arthur. On September % and
% the Russians made sorties against
positions held by the Kanagawa regi-
ment and desperate fighting ensued.
The Japanese force was practically
annihilated, only one on-commis-
stoned officer and II men remaining
alive out of the 1000 who went into
the engagement. The Japanese tun-
mel into Port Arthur was completed on
September "a and was Immediately
used. The result Is unknown"
Chinese who left Port Arthur Oc-
tober / and who were previously en-
gagged in burying the dead say the ef-
feet of the Russians shells and ma
chine guns is terrific. The slopes of a
high hill were Uttered with mangled
bodies and severed heads and limbs
In one trench the Chinese buried 500
Japanese and 200 Russians.
While it is true that the regular
water supply of Port Arthur has been
stopped by the Japanese, the fortress
has other supplies which can be taken
only When the city falls.

A STORY OF RoonIE
Confession Of an ex-councilman In
ST. Louis,


st Louis. Oct. AIN a written con-
fession yesterday Charles F. Kelly,
speaker of the house of delegates dur
ing a period in the life of the Doodle
combine, relates the story of that COM
bine. He declares that Edward Butler,
a prominent local politician. promised
himself and others implicated that the
next circuit attorney would be "all
right" and promised If they would re-
main firm he would secure for them
either continuances until the new cir
cult attorney took office or pardons af-
terwards.
Kelly declares he refused this offer
and that he makes this confession to
satisfy the pangs of an accusing con-
science, to obey the requests of his
wife and to do what he can to make
atonement to the public and prevent
other young men from following the
path which he declares led him to
ruin.
Kelly is under conviction for per-
jury in connection with the Doodle
case and his trial on the charge of
bribing in connection with the Suburb
an franchise deal will be called Mon
day. He is now out on bond.
Kelly declared that Edward Butler
paid him $4,000 of the $4,000 prom
ised, on condition that Kelly would
keep away from the grand jury, before
which he had been subpoenaed to ap-
pear. Kelly went to Europe by way of
Canada, taking the name of James
Hogan. 1t was the intention of But
Ter, Kelly said, to have him remain
away until after the statute of limita-
tions had run out on the lighting deal.
BY miscalculation, Kelly said, he
came back too soon and was arrested.
In his confession Kelly details the
story of the city lighting deal. for
which he says a Doodle fund of SAT-
500 was divided between 19 members
of the combine at julius Lehmann's
birthday party.
