CONSTITUTION IS INTACT
w. C. o. F., AFTER A DAYS DE-
& BATE, MAKES BUT FEW MINOR
CHANGES INSURANCE RULE
ALTERED.

The high court of the Woman's
Catholic Order of Foresters, after a
day of debate, made few and slight
changes in the constitution. The
measure in the interests of economy
providing that sentinels for the bien-
NAL meetings should be chosen from
the courts of the entertaining city was
lost and the high chief ranger will
continue to name the doorkeepers.
The motion to give the high court
power to employ clerks was also lost
and the high secretary retains the
privilege. The deputies will continue
to be appointed by the high chief
ranger.
It was decided to allow the issu-
ing of $500 policies. A $1,000 policy
has been the lowest issued by the or
der, and it is thought the change will
increase the membership. The right
to vote on all matters for the good
of the order was granted to social
word Catholic" in the name of the
organization was held to mean only
Roman Catholics.
This morning Rev. Father Cleary
interrupted the debate with three
minute speech. He said he could not
talk longer, as it cost $4,000 a day
to address the Foresters. In the af-
ternoon the first business was the
presentation of the report of the
finance committee by DR.. Elspeth
Conner, and it's discussion occupied a
large part of the session.
The Foresters open their meetings
at 9 o'clock each morning, and, with
brief recess at noon, continue them
until O'Clock. Many Of the delegates
are feeling the strain of the~conyen-
ton.

y
The redemption of Minnehaha was
considered at some length by Mayor
Haynes and Police superintendent
Conroy today. Mr.. Haynes impressed
on the chief that Minnehaha must be
purged of it's bold immortality and the
gangs of hoodlums and roughs must
be driven away. His orders were posi-
tive and explicit.
The statements made by the ladies
who waited upon me yesterday after
noon were a revelation, - said Mayor
Haynes this aftefn oon.s 81 knew, of
course, that the so-called midway
was noisy place,tas any shoWground
would be, and that there were, disor-
ders at times, as might be expected
where there were large gatherings of
all sorts of people,. but I had not inn
agined that vice and immortality were
so fragrant and bold as represented to
me by the women Of Minnehaha Falls.
Such conditions as they depicted are
intolerable, and if the police force is
able to drive out the creatures of both
sexes who have converted Minnehaha
into place of reDroach and shame,
the work will be done, and thoroly.
Il realize that it will not be an
easy task, as the place is far from the
police stations from which the officers
can get aid in case disturbances get
beyond them, as is likely to happen,
for the soldiers may resent interfer-
ence and the roughs from the twin
cities have no great respect for the
law or it's officers

AUTOMOBILES TO
BE WHOLE THING
HAMLINE TRACK DENIED TO DAN
PATCH.
Minneapolis Automobile Club Takes
Up the Jones Meeting and From
Present Prospects Will Hold Sue
cessful Race Meeting-Big Cars to
Meet i'm Competition. 81

Now that Dan Patch is out of the
question for the Hamline matinee and
all or the horse races have been called
or, the automobile owners and drivers
Of racing autos have the meeting all
to themselves. The auto events will be
given aae Ihursday and if some Of the
records do not fall, it will not be the
fault of the rival chuffers, who are in
town with chips on their shoulders.
This afternoon A. G. Webb is at Say
age on the international track, where
ne expects to cut few seconds off
the state record. IF the track is found
to be suitable for auto speeding a full
complement of timers and judges will
be taken out later in the week and an
onslaught made on all the records. 81
Webb was joined today by T. M.
Keeton and c. B. Donahue. who will
look after his big car. Lem Kniseley,
one of Chicago's fast drivers, arrived
from Syracuse, N. Y, and Cleveland
are expected in tonight. With the
keen rivalry between the makers, Min
neapolis will probably see some hair
raising racing on Thursday.
The withdrawal of r. r. Jones from
the management of the meeting has
caused the entrance of Asa Paine, who
will superintend the meeting for the
Minneapolis Automobile club. Mime
haha track was found to be in bad
condition, and the Hamline track was
taken with the horse attractions cut
out.
Mile-aminute speed was practical
ly attained by A. G. Webb in his big
| sixty-horse power automo bile at the
Hamline track yesterday afternoon.
Race lovers have no doubt now that
on race day the course will be covered
in something less than a minute, and
there is every chance that Webb will
break his own record of So seconds

INSPECT ARMORY SITES
CITY OFFICIALS GO ON GROUND
HUN TIN G EXPEDITION
LOWRY PARK DISTRICT HAS
MANY ADVOCATES.

Available sites fer an armory were
inspected this afternoon by Mayor j.
G. Haynes, City Treasurer c. S. HUI
bert and Lieutenant Colonel Frank T.
Corriston, composing the armory
board. Of the many sites offered
there are five or six that are particu-
larry desirable and the one offered at
the most reasonable terms will be Sc
lected. One or two CT the tracts Of
fered front on the new Lowry park
and strong pressure will be brought
to secure the armory for that vicinity.
1t is pointed out that the site would
afford the guardsnen a parade and
drill ground, amply large for every
need, at the very door of the armory
and without additional expense for
purchase and maintenance. This was
the idea advanced many years ago
by Mr.. McNair, the original owner of
the tract, and it has many advocates
at present.
There are, however, other sites east
of Nicollet avenue that have just as
many advocates.
The board will not consider any
thing outside of Grant street. A
ground area of at least 200x3OO feet
will be required.
It is not likely that the board will
announce it's selection until the bonds
have been sold, which will take from
six to eight weeks.

|SNEAK CALLED
WITH A WAGON.
THIEF USES COSTLY OUTFIT TO
DISGUISE MISSION.
He Posed as the Deliveryman for a
Dyehouse and Easily Gained Access
to Houses Looking for Fictitious
Several Houses Robbed on
Fourth Avenue S.

Burglars who invest in horses and
delivery wagons to disguise their real
trade are rare birds, but the entire
police force is looking for just such a
man today. He drives a black horse
hitched to fiery red wagon and robs
houses in daylight.
This man robbed four houses near
Fourth avenue S and Ninth street
yesterday and at each place was
stopped and questioned. He pointed
to his horse and wagon as his recon-
mendation and was allowed to go UNI
molested.
His successful> way of working the
trick is to drive up to boarding
house and rush in with bundle. II
he is not met in the hall, he goes on
upstairs and into the rooms. If
plumber is loose he takes it, but if he
is seen he says he is delivering some
clothing to customer. He claims to
be working for a dyehouse and is
much surprised to learn that no per-
son Of such and such name lives there.
If the owner has any doubts, the de-
livery wagon is there to substantiate
the assertion.
At each of the four places yester-
day he was stopped and questioned
but he answered everything so polite
ly that he was not suspected until late
in the day. Then money, jewelry and
other valuables were missed.

LOCAL POLITICS
DECLARES TEST OF
PARTY FEALTY
VOTES FOR LOCAL CANDIDATES
DO NOT COUNT.
Attorney Generals Office Rules that
to Vote at Coming Primary the
Voter Must Have Supported General
State Nominees of Party-Changes
Are Not Recognized.

P. A. Ewert, assistant attorney gem
eral, has ruled on the question of what
constitutes party utilization as the
phrase is used in the primary cleo
ton law. This has never had an Of
fetal Interpretation before, but the
voters have had to rely on their own
ideas.
The primary election law provides
that after registration, the voter shall
be entitled eto receive a ballot of the
political party with which he then
declares that he affliates, and whose
candidates he generally supported at
the last general election, and with
which party he proposes to affiliate
at the next election
In reply to query, Mr.. Ewert says
that it is not a fair tests to offset all
candidates on the ticket and deter
mine party affliation according to the
number Of republicans and the num-
Der Of democrats voted for. The
voters party of affliation should be
determined rather by the support
given to those candidates whose can
d1dacy was based on party principles
He comes to the conclusion that it is
support of the state and congressional
tickets at the 1902 election that really
counts in determining political affilia-
ton this year. 1t is not enough, how
ever, to vote merely for a candidate
for governor. A democrat who voted
for Van SAINT two years ago cannot
claim to be republican this year il
he voted for democrats for the other
state Offices, and he is not legally a
republican even if he declares his pur-
pose to affiliate with the republican
party at the coming election.
The law does not recognize new
party principles Of a voter who has
changed since last election. IT he
voted the dem ocratic ticket last time
and intends to vote the republican
ticket this fall, then he is not en-
titled to vote in either primary.

RAN ONE LONG AGO
G. n. BurweIl Says Captain Johnson
Weed Cutter Is Not the First

G. n. BurweIl Says Captain Johnson,s
Weed Cutter Is Not the First.
On answer to the statement which has
appeared that the weed cutting machine
invented by Captain G. X. Johnson at
Lake Minnetonka, is the first machine of
Its kind in Minnesota, c. H. BurwelI,
cashier of the postoffice, said today that
he had Invented machine attached to a
boat similar in principle to the Johnson
boat and operated it in the pond at Min
netonka Mills in 1885,
The machine was operated for three
seasons and gave great satisfaction 1t
could be run by one man if necessary and
was driven by paddle wheel attached to
a shaft revolved by hand power. At
tached by bevel gear to the shaft was
guard and sickle cutter which was
about twelve feet wide, which could be
raised and lowered. The boat was six
feet wide and twenty feet long, and if
two men We're in charge it could cover a
large amount of ground in days work.
The machine was allowed to go to pieces.
but Mr.. Burwell said that he believed the
old cutter could still be found along the
shore.

JONES MAKES STATEMENT
Says He Has Reached the Limit to
Keep His Promises.

r. r. Jones states this morning that
he has practically reached the last
ditch Sc, far as showing Dan Patch in
the twin cities this week is concerned.
The State Agricultural society denies
him admission in any manner, altho
the strongest influences have UNDER
taken to get the event for the Hamline
track. Mr.. Jones states that rent was
paid for Minnehaha and expense to
the extent of several hundred dollars
incurred to prepare same. In get
ting into the back stretch, where the
weeds had grown for the last two
years, he found that the gophers had
burrowed and cut the turf in such a
manner that it would be impossible
to. put the track in safe condition for
such a horse as Dan Patch, within a
week at least, and possibly a month.
This leaves it wholly impossible to
do anything with Dan Patch at Min
nehaha. Mr.. Jones says that his re-
grets in this matter are beyond eX-
preston. "For the last twenty-five
years I have given meetings in Min
neapolis in the name of the Minne-
Driving Park association and the Min
neapolis Riding and Driving club"
says he. In the summer of 1895,
when the Minneapolis Driving club as
an organization gave up their adver-
tised meetings on account of the haz-
ardous conditions in the financial
world, I personally gave bonds exceed
ing 100000 and gave that meeting
which today remains the highest in
money offerings ever given in the state
of Minnesota. I brought here that
year the famous stable Of G. j. Ham
lin, with Robert J. Fantasy and also
other famous stables. have con-
stantly worked to bring the better
class of attractions to Minneapolis;
and in 'e1, the last performance of
that year, October 81, Cresceus gave
Minnesota her trotting record on old
Minnehaha course under my manage
ment.
Last year it was thru my efforts
entirely that Dan Patch was brought
to the state. This year every bridge
is down and am denied the use of
grounds for which I have paid, and
therefore, while the horse may remain
here as advertised over the dates, I
cannot show him. -
Mr.. Jones says that he has done all
human power can do to bring about
all that he promised the public, and
he trusts they may fully appreciate
and lay the blame entirely where it
belongs.

PRISONERS WERE MIXED
"PINAFORE" SITUATION IN PO-
LICE CUORT A SEQUAL TO AR
RESTS IN THE DARK.

Three men who We're arrested in the
dark by different policemen last night
caused a tangle in police court pro-
cedure this morning, and altho all re-
ceived sentences of the same length,
they may not be serving them for the
OffenSeS committed.
Peter McDonough was arrested by
Special officer Hayes for trespassing
in the railroad yards. When he APP
peared in court he was charged with
drunkenness by Patrolman Mcleod,
who had never seen him. HAYES in
turn didn't recognize McDonough, but
appeared against John Peterson, Nc
Leod's man, on a charge Of Vagrancy.
Peter Smith, the real vagrant, was
called to answer to the trespassing
charge. Smith broke the news Of the
tangle to the court by claiming that
he had never travelled by the Great
Northern, tho he had been tramp
all his life. McDonough had already
pleaded guilty to drunkenness and
had been sentenced. The other two
followed suit and pleaded guilty.
The prisoners were as much at sea as
the officers, and as the sentences were
the same they considerably agreed
to serve terms for each other rather
than~make extra trouble for the court.
