MONEY in WHAT
IS THROWN AWAY
INDUSTRIAL. WORK PRO
JECTED By SALVATION ARMY.
The New Station at the Old City Hall
Will Permit the Introduction of a
Plant to Reclaim Old Furniture,
Clothing and Other Waste Mate

Brigadier Jenkins Of the Salvation
Army has made application to army
headquarters for a thoroly competent
and able man as manager of the in
dustrial and social work which he
hopes is to begin soon in the new sta
ton to be opened in the old city hall.
He has also asked for a personal con-
to the social work in Minneapolis.
The central idea Of the social work
contemplated is an industrial home
where unfortunate men can have en-
pioyment testing their industrial ca
liabilities and the helpful surround
ings OF comfortable and inspiring
Christian home to put heart into them
to grapple with life when they find
permanent employment. The idea Of
family life will be accumulated and
all will be expected to share in the
freedom, comforts. discipline and fell
lowship Of the home.
Directly connected with the indus
trial department will be labor bu-
reau, whose first work will be to find
permanent positions for the men in
the home. 1t will also do the general
work of a labor bureau.
The plan of the industrial work will
follow the army's general scheme Of
utilizing city waste. A complete sys-
tenn Of collection and disposition of
discarded household furniture and
goods, paper and whatever can be
utilized to furnish employment and
Yield a profit will be established. Es-
pecial attention will be paid to supply
ing reliable men for odd jobs and
work by the day. While much of the
Industrial work will be carried on in
the city hall, some operations neces-
sarily must be managed in a different
place.
The headquarters of the army will
be transferred to the building in order
that the work may come directly I'M
der Brigadier Jenkins eye, and that
public attention may be concentrated
on the industrial and social work.
Social operations are now in q
crude state, as little but urg-
ent relief work was undertaken
under former officers. The
need for such work has been fully
demonstrated during the month to the
commanding officer by the large num-
Der of cases that have come in urg-
emily needing attention and that could
not, be dealt with properly without
an industrial home.
Other important features of the
new home already projected are a
public reading room and ample bath
ing facilities both of which are
greatly needed in that locality where
laboring men congregate on account
of the proximity to the employment
agencies. cheap lodging houses and
the railway station. .9

UNFAIR TO MIR. WE
Use of Word Misrepresentation" in
Mention of s'U'' Inquiry.


In it's report of the executive meet
ing of the university regents yester-
day, T h e j o urn a | spoke of, the
investigation of the books kept by Mr..
Wye, in charge of the accounts of the
school of agriculture, and stated that
the matter was taken up on the charge
Of misrepresentation of funds. The
context shows that the misappropria-
ton was not personal to himself, but
was meant to imply mismanagement
in the accounts of the institution.
There never has been any charge or
insinuation against Mr.. wye Of the APP
preparation Of university funds to his
own use, and all the committee found
to criticize, as stated yesterday, was
a little carelessness in the auditing of
bills. One instance appeared of over
payment of a printers account which,
however, the committee charged to
carelessness and not to any purpose
to profit personally by the transaction.
The use of the word "misappropria-
ton" was unfortunate and unjust, by
possible implication, to a faithful
agent of the university.

ITSELF" was the main thought Wednes-
day night at the Economic club din
ner in Boston.
David P. Jones was one of the four
speakers. He was east on a business
trip and timed his arrival to accept
the invitation which he had received.
The president of the club in intro-.
ducing Mr.. Jones said: Minneapolis
is a thoroly redeemed city, and the
other speakers chinled in indicating
that this city is again on a respectable
basis in the eyes Of the east. In fact,
among the foremost in municipal re-
form a representative was asked to
address the Economic club and the
Good Government association, with
which it is cooperating.
The other speakers were prominent
in the reform or in the politics Of the
cities which they represented: Ru-
dolph Blankenburg of Philadelphia;
Edwin Burnt Smith, of Chicago; J.
Lind Bruce, chairman Of New Yorks
County Republican club.
Mr.. Jones said to-day: 1.-THE pres
ident of the club in introducing me
said, Minneapolis is a thoroly re-
deemed city,, and made the comment
that the Ames administration was an
incident that could not be repeated and
that it was not an index of corrupt
government, but Of a corrupt depart
ment for which one man was respon-
sible, the mayor, who permitted the,
and never would stand for corrupt
government"
Nonpartizanship in municipal poll
tics was the keynote of the four
speakers. ALI approved as the best
the Chicago voters league system of
practically working out the municipal
problem. The method which is used
in Minneapolis has been adopted in
Boston, and Milwaukee is about to
take it up.
This system" said Mr. Jones, "out-
lines a non-interference with political
parties, with an effort to bring out re-
form thru and by the means of the po-
litical parties reformed from within.

parties to the end that the best man

publicity the bad man who seeks party
support is knocked OUT
Mr.. Jones says that New Workers
are not satisfied with the Tammany
rule. They feel that the defeat Of
Low was a great loss, but his person
atty and coldblooded enforcement of
the laws was a too drastic reform.
There was a great reaction said Mr..
Jones, against the so-called reform
administration on the part of those
who thought the reform too severe
and was like the giving of medicine
instead Of food, and was nauseating to
the people. It was claimed that Low
lost because the people in the best
part of the city downed him because
of the too severe reform In fact

paign, said that they lost at the hands

The main trouble with the plumbing ar
