LOCAL Firms PUZZLED
SIGNIFICANCE OF RECENT OUT
BREAK is A MYSTERY TO
THOSE FAMILIAR WITH THE
EXISTING CONDITIONS.

Firms in Minneapolis are much sur
prised over the outbreak at Helsing-
fors, in which eighteen Russian func-
tionaries were killed, and are at a
loss to explain it or make any predic-
tions as to future events. They do
not know whether it Is the signal for
a general revolution or simply an ill
timed outburst of a few hotheads.
That the Firms have had provoca-
lions without number is generally adj
mitted, and the only circumstance
that has prevented forcible resistance
to the Russian DEGREES has been the
disparity in numbers, all Finland
numbering only 100000 as against
140,000,000 of Russians.
1t is not believed locally that the
Helsingfors outbreak presages a gen.
eral revolution as the Swedish and
Finnish parties in Finland have hith-
erto pursued entirely different courses
Gustaf F. Bergstadi of this city, who is
close student of the course OF
events in Finland confesses that he
does not know what to make Of the
outbreak, but says that if the Firms
are really aroused and are united Rus
STA will have some serious business in
Finland for a while in spite of the
overwhelming superiority in men and
wealth. 4

ployed as a servant in the lady's house.
Under orders, she had signed the

AROUND THE TOWN

Police Are Skeptical.-Since she has adj
r1itted that she was intoxicated Saturday
night the police put little faith In the
story of Annie Jennings that she was the
victim of criminal assault. brake
man on the Great Northern railway saw
four persons in the Shevlin- Carpenter
yards at midnight Saturday night, and
says all were Intoxicated. The Jennings
girl was one Of them, according to his
story. The police profess to believe that
she made up the thrilling story told in
order to avoid arrest for intoXication.
VIII Tarry Thirty Days.-Michael Gill
lo,t who has served more than thirty
sentences at the workhouse for drunk
erness, told Judge Holt In police court
this moving that his frequent arrests
ard convictions were brought about sim
ply because the police didn't like to see
him on the streets. AS proof that he
was not IL habitual drinker he offered to
stay away from the city for the remainder
of his life II his sentence was dismissed.
The court told him to stick to his resolu-
ton and carry out his plans when he was
released from the works. He was SEN
fenced to thirty days.
Vacation School PIans.-D. H Painter,
who will have charge Of the vacation
schools this summer, appeared before the
school boards special committee this
afternoon to outline his plans. He urges
that manual training, sewing and cooking
schools be established at the Madison,
Monroe, Sheridan and Blaine buildings
and at other later If needed. The board
is hampered for lack of funds and may
not be able to carry out all the details de-
sired by Mr.. Painter.
No Mrs. Bishop-No St. Louis VISIT
DR.. c.. w. Bishop, 7o2 Pillsbury building
who was reported to have been lost at st
Louis, has not been to the worlds fair
but has been taking vacation in the
northern part of Minnesota, where he has
been fishing and hunting. The much
frightened wife Of the report has no exis
tence, DR.. Bishop having thus far escaped
the snares Of rnatrimony.

Ill AFTER FIGHT
|. WITH HIGHWAYMEN.
MRS. WEBER BEAT ASSAILANTS
WITH HER UMBRELLA.
Attacked in Lonely Spot on North
Side, She Defends Herself from
Robbers While Her Companion,
Mrs. Thomas, Flees for Help, Car
rying the Purse.

AS a result of an assault and at
tempted robbery by five men last Sat
urday night, Mrs. E.. Weber, BALI
Penn avenue N, has suffered seriously
from commissions and nervous pros
tration. Yesterday she was the VIC
tim of temporary dementia, but was
much better this morning, and was
able to sit up and tell her story.
With Mrs. Ed Thomas she said she
was returning from a wedding ami
versary celebration on the South Side.
They were the only people on the
car at the terminus at Thirty-second
avenue. 1t is considerable distance
from the end of the car line to the
home of Mrs. Weber, and the lack
of street lamps and the presence Of
thick trees make it an ideal location
for a holdup. They had proceeded
but a little way from the car when
they were surprised. by several men
standing in the shadow Of one of
the trees.
One of the men sprang forward,
seized Mrs. Weber and demanded her
brella firmly and proceeded to be-
labor her assailant with all her
strength. In the meantime Mrs.
Thomas had taken the pocketbook
and fled back to the car. But the con-
ductor and motorman evidently were
unwilling to leave the car, and did not
lend any assistance. A clerk in the
butcher shop at the corner Of Penn
avenue and Thirty-second avenue
called up the police, and in short
| time two officers arrived.
When safety was in sight Mrs
Weber succumbed to the excitement
and strain and tainted. She was
taken home by the policemen, and i
was found that she had received {
blow on the head.
There have been several other hold
ups and robberies in the same neigh
borhood during the past year. 1t !!
thought that it is the work of a gang
and that it could be stamped out If {
determined effort were made by thu
| police.
