TRIUMPH FOR WATKINS
MINNEAPOLIS MAGNATE SCORES
A VICTORY IN THE SCHEDULE
ADOPTED BY. THE AMERICAN
ASSOCIATION, ... .....

President Watkins returned this
morning from Chicago, where he
went to attend the schedule meeting
of the American Baseball association
The schedule framed by Watkins
was adopted by the association, which
is a distinct triumph for the Mime
apolis club. In discussing the sched-
ule, Watkins said:
The dates we adopted seemed the
best for everyone in the association.
Minneapolis gets the afternoon games
on Memorial Day and Labor Day, and
the morning game on the Fourth, St.
Paul taking the morning Of Memorial
Day and Labor Day, and the after
noon of the Fourth. There is always
SO much firing Of explosives on the
morning of the Fourth that it is quite
likely to rain in the afternoon, so
that the arrangement gives Mime
apolis a little the better of the deal.
The Sunday games are equally di-
vided, every club getting eleven at
home and eleven away except Indian
apolis, which cannot play Sundays.
Seven of their Sunday games are given
to Milwau kee, Louisville and Colum-
bus, in return for other. good dates.
Minneapolis certainly got none the
worst Of the schedule" .'.' .1-s

MORRILL, GUILTY. r
OF LESE MAJESTE
HE ATTACKS KING SOLOMON BE.
FORE PASTORS MEETING.
Calls Attention to the Seer's Advertise
ing, Which He Considers Sacrilege
REV. G. e, Burton Reports on the
Status Or the. Sot1tnt Campaign.

~ Rev. G. L.. Morrill, feels, that, public
decency has been outraged in the
treatment. Of the King Solomon case
by the public and by the authorities,
He presented his views in a strong pro-
test this morning. at the, union minis
ters' meeting at the Y. M. G.. "A, and.
asked the association If, there was not
something it could do about it.: No
effective means Of dealing with the
matter suggested itself to those pres,
ent, and no action was taKen: s. y ~ Z
Mr.. Morrill, expressed regret that
the court did not clear the courtroom
and prevent the morbid curiosity seek
ersa from hearing the evidence. The
presencE. of throngs Of young people
was especially deplored. Attention
was called to the advertising methods
used by the acquitted man, who in
some of his published statements has
compared himself with the Deity. :.
This protest was injected into the
program as a question: of privilege.
Rev. c. E.. Burton reported the
status of the Sodini case, saying that
as the latter had bricked up the door
between his saloon and theater he
would probably secure a license this
week. but urged the association to
watch the situation to see that Sodini
lived up to the legal requirements. -
on the Bible society, by Rev. S. w.,
Dickinson Of st. Paul. Rev. J. B.
Davidson, secretary of the Wiscon-
sin Sunday Rest association, gave an
account Of the work of that associa-
ton, speaking especially of the work
to reduce the Sunday running of rail-
road trains to a minimum. Mr.. DAVID
son. said. that there was a marked
sentiment among railroad officials
against Sunday excursions and other
unnecessary work. and that they de-
sired the backing of Christian senti-,
ment in stopping this. Many roads
stand ready to follow the example Of
the Northwestern road and abolish
Sunday excursions if the public atti-
tude will warrant the change. A cam
paign OF petition is going on, and Mr..
Davidson. asked for cooperation in
Minneapolis.
The principal paper of the morning
was on Russian aggression IN the
Far East" by Rev. j. g. FAIRIES, clear
and scholarly presentation OF policies
and events that led up to the present
war situation. .;t

Final action on the Loring park ex-
tension Will be taken by the board
OF park commissioners this evening,
and the indications are that the gem
eral plan proposed by Thomas Lowry
Will be adopted The special commit
tee to which this matter was referred
will report in favor Of 8, plan to is
sue certlhcates to the amount of $1O7,-

OF the land required to carry thru
the project, together with interest for
ten years, The certificates are to be
cancelled by assessm ents on real 5es-
tate within q certain. district, the as
sessments per ffty-foot lots ranging
from Is cents to So. These assess
ments will run ten years. -:
Opposition has been stirred up
against this plan by well-known agi-
tators, and urgent appeals have been
made to the people within the dis
trict named to turn out en- masse at
the park board meeting this evening to
defeat the scheme to ''rob' them
and to assist In preventing a great
wrong" The meeting may be an ex-
tremely lively one if: the somewhat
incendiary dodgers, which have been
circulated In large numbers accom-
pl1sh their purpose It is insinuated
in these dodgers that it will cost over
r
This is not as the park commits
sioners understand it,. however. Acc
cOrdlng to a communication submitted
by Mr.. Lowry to the park. board last
November, he offered to give to the
board ninety-three lots lying in the
loWlands between Superior boulevard
and Erie street and between =Lyndale
avenue and Spring: lake on condition
that the board obtained possession OF
1n Cir 1,1, %11Sx hi ~
which. was mot owned by. Mr.. Lowry.
The lots included. inSthe.. Lowry gift
are conservatively estimated to be
worth $4,000. w. II. Dunwoody sup
plemented MIR. Lowry,s, offer by pre-
senting several lots worth close to
$25,00O. In addition, Mr.. Lowry com
missioned Warren H. Manning, the
park designer, to prepare plans for a
combined scenic park and recreation
grounds. To carry out Mr.. Manning's
ideas will cost about $4,000, and this
expense Mr.. Lowry has offered to as.
sume.. ,-...- -
A committee of appraisers which
was appointed by the park board fixed
the values of the undecided lots .ir
the park plan at $4,000. It was, Mr.
Lowry's personal wish, that, the whole
sum be paid out ofesome general fund
as the park would be Of particular
| benefit to the whole, city, but the park
commissioners do not find the plar
feasible: Neither. is a bond issue
feasible at this time, and hence. thu
only way in which the offer sub

PETRA'S CURE i: /.

Victim of Would-be Assassin Has
Nearly Recovered From
His Deadly Wounds. ~.

/; John Petra, the italian who, was
shot by his rival, Pietro Vergata, is
now out of danger and will be dis
charged from the city shospital this
week. He said this morning that; he
felt, we'll enough to work. Petra's
recovery isl remarkable, forghis intes-
tines were punctured by the bullet,
and he was not thought to- have a
change to recover. Y
Mrs. Rose Collini, the woman in
the case, was informed yesterday that
joint would recover, and this. |no rI
ing she was busy preparing a room
where che can remain quietly until he
is able to be about. . She says that
neither. she nor any Of her acquaint-
ances have, heard anything concern
father, Fran Frank Vergafa ass'n Is "s sti1 i
in the city, but says he has not
heard from his son. One member
Of the italian colony, however, thinks
that the fugitive is not far away and
that he. will return when he learns
that he is not wanted for murder, .
The police are positive that YER

GET SPRING WATER
FOR THE SCHOOLS
PRESSURE BROUGHT no BEAR ON
BOARD OF EDUCATION.
Petitions Are Circulated Asking that
Pure Water Be Supplied to Build
ings on East Side-Reservoir Water
VIII Soon Be in Use at All the
Schools.

New cases Of typhoid fever are re-
ported daily to the health department.
AS long as colon baciln are found in
the East Side mains and people con-
tinue to drink the water, the epidemic
on the East Side will continue.
Health Commissioner P. M. Hall
thinks that there will soon be de-
cided decrease in the number Of new
cases.
A movement is on foot to induce the
board OF education to supply the
schools on the East Side with spring
water. Petitions urging. such a step
were circulated in many of the
churches yesterday and many sigma
lures were obtained. 1t is argued that
spring water is. supplied to prisoners
In the county Jail and that school
children are worthy of a like consid-
Grafton. To this argument the school
authorities reply that the resources Of
the board will not permit the expense
Of furnishing the schools with spring
water. It is expected that reservoir
water, which is pronounced safe, will
soon be in use at all the schools, and
until that time the school children
will suffer no hardship if they go
without water during the short time
they are in school. The mayor Is
looking into the matter on his own
account at the request Of the inn
provement league and If he. finds that
the situation warrants it he will use
a part Of his emergency fund or start
a subscription to raise funds to supply
spring water to the schools on the
East Side, which are now deprived of
city water.

They Have Become Completely
Reconci1ed and All Has
4 Been. Forgiven.

Carefully yelled, and with every eff
fort to preserve secrecy, Viva Fitch
patrick Hazard Of Nevada, Iowa, was
quietly ushered up to the county
Saturday evening. After long con-
sultation with c. S. Hazard, recently
ly as she had come. On her departure
she wore a smile Of radiant satisfac-
ton. Ns
Mrs. Hazzard-the title confirmed
by the verdict of the jury which con-
victed her husband-came on Satur-
day from Nevada, where she Is living
with her parents. She j: was accom-
panied by her brother and her mis-
sion was simply to visit the prisoner,
whom she still loves. This object ac-
complished, she did not tarry, and
left this morning for her Iowa home.
Altho Hazard is as reticent as ever
relative to himself and his troubles,
matrimo nial and otherwise, he would
not deny this morning that his. wife
had been to see him, nor that they had
reached a satisfactory arrangement in
regard to their future.
It Is considered certain that the two
young people are entirely reconciled
and that. in the event Of a. new trial
being granted on the motion now be-
ing considered by Judge Brooks, the
complaining witness will never APP
pear dSd1HSC the Qe1enQdnC again anu
he, WILL therefore, have to be dis
charged. In that event, the plan evil
IDENTIFY, Formulated, Is for Viva and her
husband to resume matrimonial rela-
tons. ID.
From the secrecy surrounding the
Iowa wife's visit, it is presumed that
neither she nor her husband wished
to take any chances of having the
lady subpoenaed for a second trial. =
sJudge Brooks said this morning that
he would not decide the Hazard mo-
ton argued before him Saturday until
lhe middle Of the week.
