PREPARING FOR CENSUS
SECRETARY OF STATE HAS
CHARGE OF WORK OF COUNT
ING GOPHER NOSES NEXT YEAR.

:. A state census is to- be taken in 1905.
This will be in accordance with section
3, article "a, Of the state constitution,
which provided for a census in 1865
"and every tenth year thereafter, -
and under provisions Of the state census
law of 1896.
The secretary of state is. in charge
of the work. The enumeration in 1895
commenced June 1, and was completed
by July 81. The appointment of clerks,
stenograpners, enumeratOrs, etc., under
the law of 1895, was all placed in the
hands of the secretary Of state
The old law makes the boundaries OF
enumeration districts along township or
ward lines, and.~ provides that no dis
trict shall contain more than two town;
ships or wards, except in unorganized
districts where the superintendent of
census arbitrarily, fixes the lines.
The appropriation for the last state
census (1895) was $4,000. It seems Ger:
tain that at the coming session of the
legislature some special legislation will
be enacted in regard to the 1905 census
considerably increasing the aapproprria
ton over what it was in 1895, but, in the
main following the 1895 law provisions

MINISTERS INTERESTED
ENDORSE THE WORK AND PLANS
= oF THEe ANT1-sA DON LEAGUE
DIR. BAKERS ADDRESS. -:x.4sI

The Anti saloon league and it's plat
form was Endorsed this morning at the
union meeting Of ministers. The resolu-
lions emphasized that the league is the
agent Of the church and not a. substitute
for it and can do nothing unless church
people are in it and back Of it.. The
work was pronounced legitimate for the
church and deserving cordial support
as. practical effort to- mass the moral
forces for the accomplishment of tan
gible results. -
The plan of working for a county OPP
tion bill was specially commended. The
meeting was addressed by DR.. P. A.
Baker, national superintendent of the
league, who succeeded in stirring up a
warm interest among the ministers pres
ent. Arrangements were made for a
mass meeting on Sunday afternoon,
which will probably be held in one. of
the theaters. 81:
By request DR.. Baker spoke in detail
of the political methods Of the league as
these are often misunderstood. They
are based on independent voting and the
speaker pronounced the independent
voter the savior Of the republic. After
the recent exhibition of Independent
voting in Minnesota, DR.. Baker ex-
pressed the belief that the field was
promising here for league work. ,~- ii,
The methods Of the league are to Sc:
temperance measures, regardless OF
party. In Ohio, DR.. Baker. said, it took
five years to prepare the way for eff
fective political work, but then it be
gan to tell and local, township and dis
trict option have come SO fast that the
politicians are said to be zbeseechine
the league not to go too fast.

SMOKE CRUSADE J 4 D

Town Has the More Prosperous It
Is, Says General Manager Robert
son Of the Electric Company-Case
the First to Be Brought. II

emit clouds Of dense, Black smoke, con
trary to the city Iordinanees, is the
charge upon which Richard H.. Mather,
engineer for the Minneapolis General
Electric company, was arraigned]in Pc,
not guilty and the case was set for
Thursday at 9 am. The complaint was
made by II. F. Newhall, secretary Of the
Minneapolis Real Estate board. -:
The arrest Of Mr. Mather is the be-
ginning Of the crusade against violators
OF the smoke ordinance to be made by
the real estate board. For some time
the board has been in consultation with
the city attorney in regard: to enforcing
stated. that nothing could be done by
that office other than the issuing Of
warrants for specific violators of the
ordinance. .-,..,. 3. 80 -...
fThe Minneapolis General Electric
company was selected as one Of the most
fragrant violators of the ordinance and
one abundantly able to make ample pro-
visions to avoid it, said Mr.. Newhall.
NThe chimney is known to emit dense
clouds Of smoke almost daily.
:, "People don't SEEM to. realize that
town has the more prosperous it is, -
said Alexander M. Robertson, general
manager Of the General Electric com.
Gas a matter. of fact we use all the
modern smoke-preventing devices and
smokeless coal. You see we take all
the precautions we can, but, as we only
fire up between 3 and $3.50, pm, must
say that the smoke does pour out. The
people ought to realize that. it is a sign
of prosperity. In most cities you only
hear criticisms when the chimneys are
smokeless. The more smoke there is
the better the times.
''There is another, thing the people dc
not realize. Mixed with the smoke
that comes, out OF, our chimney, there il
vast quantity of exhaust steam, which
gives the appearance of an immense
volume. Of course, this steam does not
make dirt. I think it would be fair tc
say that our stack does not send out
any more SCOT than a half dozen Other
chimneys in town. AS far as holding
fireman gets a higher salary probably
than any other fireman in town. The
way to judge the ability of stoker il
to see how many pounds of steam he car
get from a given Quantity of water will
the smallest amount, of coal.'
Richard Mather, the fireman, smiled
this morning when he heard that he wa.
ordered to appear at the police court
He declared that to cut off the smoke
was to cut off the power. 49, '<.>

PLANS FOR MONSTER
EVANGELICAL CRUSADE

A movement was set on foot this
morning at the union meeting Of the
ministers, which will probably result in
Minneapolis next fall, under the leader
ship of Rev. Wilbur Chapman Of Wash
ington. The only disappointment lies
in the fact that the pressing calls Of Mr..
Chapmen will not permit him to. come
before that time.
DR.. Chapman has already been con-
suited and has expressed his desire to
come. A committee was appointed to
consider the matter and to report The
Northwestern Bible school has already
arranged to have DR.. A. G. Dixon here
next fall and it is probable that the two
plans will be combined.
The proposed meetings will be a part
of wonderful evangelistic movement
that began last year in Pittsburg, which
resulted in more than 5000 accessions
to church membership is that city.

SWEEPS GET BUSY
Access Of Industry by Janitors at City
and County Building.

An astonishing activity has been dis
played by the janitors at the city and
county building, SINCE it was given out
that the new Commission intended that
every one Of them would be Obliged to
earn his wages or retire. This is said
to be particularly true of some on the
county side. "
While the building commission is
nominally in control Of the city hall
and courthouse, the members do not ex-
pect to take active charge until after
the first Of the year, unless some emer-
gency should arise. Each side is under
the supervision of a custodian, whose
term Of office does not expire until the
end Of tho year and. these will be per,
united to- remain in authority until
that time. ;-...:
Another reason for not assuming con-
troll over the building is the fact that
two members, Mayor. G. Haynes and
Fred E. Barney, retire from office and
the commission on the first Of the year,
and have no desire to post themselves
on the details Of the; building when it
will be Of no use to Them. Z 80

,deavoring to identify, the stolen prop
erty found in the. room Of John Dusen;
bury, an ex-convict, who was arrested
last night on the charge Of robbing
stores and business houses. G
The visits Of recent victims Of burg
lars resulted in the identification Of
many of the articles. Among the goods
were toilet articles ia ken from Wash
Lake street, and similar articles from
Gould & lincoln s drug store, across the
corner from Washburn s, and from Tru-
mann & Griffin IS store in Kenwood. Cut
lery and small hardware articles were
claimed as those stolen from Jones &
Sawyer, near Hennepin and Lake street.

Sunnyside grocery.
There is yet more than $1,000 worth
of articles not claimed, and all persons
who have been robbed during the. past
month have been asked to come to head
bury is the elusive windowsmasher.
A review Of the rogues gallery shows
| that Dusenbury, alias Stanley, alias
Cruise, is an expert in his line and that
he served a six-year sentence for bur.
glary in the. Nebraska state, peniten.
here, and the officers think they have
made an unusually lucky catch.
The st. Paul police are working on
the case today, as there is a strong sus
picion that the man has been working
there also. A coat stolen from the
Pantorium, was pawned there by Dusen
bury. The police Of both cities say that
he undoubtedly has "pal" who has
aided him in his work. - e,
Detectives Helm, Hanson, Johnson and
Hicks, who made the arrest, say that the
young man came here several months
ago, and obtained position as elevator
conductor in an office building, an6
town, and about the financial condition
of several of his passengers.
When Dusenbury's room, at 422 Hen
nepin avenue, was searched, two trunks
and two valises were found filed with
articles that the owner could not &C
count for.
In a cigar box found in the room were
found several pieces of jewelry valued
in all at more than $500.
Dusenbury was seen Friday night
while he was making an attempt tt
break into the Pantorium on Eleventh
street. Since the place was broken int
for the third time a few weeks ago
have taken turns watching the place a.
night. While johnson was on watch
Friday night, he heard the rear doc
being pried open with a jimmy. HI
; sprang out, but the willy Dusenbury go
} away. Johnson, however, looked hin
squarely in the face, and when he say
him again on Washington avenue s, h
promptly locked him up.
The goods for which the young NAL
cannot account are, valued at more thai
81 600, and the police are confident tina
he is the right man.
