BRACKET CANT
GET NOON PIE
Chamber Of Commerce Employee
Has a Grievance Against G.
of G. Restaurant.

Karl Bracket, with the American
Grain company, can't get anything
to eat at the lunc hcounter in
the Chamber of Commerce and in
consequence has started what he
thinks will be a series of painful
experiences for the proprietors.
He has lodged complaint with the
secretary of the Chamber Of Com
MERGE.
Young Brackett's,s friends, while
having considerable amusement at
his expense, insist that he should
obtain complete satisfaction. E
AS far as can be learned, the
owners of the restaurant, Mr.. and
Mrs. Bridgeman, have refused to serve
Mr.. Bracket because, because they
are convinced that he informed the
milk Inspector that the quality of milk
served at the stand was not up to
the standard. Mr.. Bracket says
that he did not report the case nor
was he in anywise responsible for the
investigation which followed.

Special to The Journal.
Montreal, March 2.-William
Whyte, second vice president Of the
Canadian Pacific railroad, says:
During the next ten years I look
for an almost unbroken period Of rail-
road construction turnout the north
west. We intend to do considerable
in this direction during the coming
season, but just at. the moment I am
not in position to give the details.
The enlargement of the yards at Win
nipeg is now almost an accomplished
fact. When completed these yards
will be the largest in the world, con-
tanning over fifty-five miles of track.
A big station will probably be COM
pleted within year, with 3OO-room
hotel already Designed t.
Mr.. Whyte looks for almost as
great an influx of immigration from
the United States this year as last.
These immigrants he says are the best
Canada could possibly procure.
Orders were recently placed by the
Canadian Pacific with it's own shops
in Quebec for sleepers and dining cars
of Pullman type to run between Mon
treal and Vancouver. .-
It is intended to double the service
from Montreal to the Pacific and a fast
express will leave Montreal daily. This
is necessary to accommodate the
great increase in trans-continental
traffic.

logized Governor Van SAINT for the stand
he took on the merger question, which had

Pacific road. in favor Of opening the
books of corporations to the public Judge
Collins said the railroad men Of the state
were against the merger because it meant
fewer trains. longer hours, and fewer men
employed. Tie also urged the curbing Of
such monopolies as the Standard Oil com
pany. and commended President Roosevelt
for the precedent he set in forcing the
arbitration of the coal strike.
Frank M. Nye. who was also present.
made a good republican speech and told
those present that he might be canli-

ing the result Of the hearing before
Justice Van Dalsem Of the case OF
Charles N. Cooper Of this city. Mr..
Cooper was not fined for drunken

was made in the original complaint
on which he was first tried, was strick-
en- off the complaint after the jury
disagreed.
The charge on which he was tried
the second time was tumultuous con-
duct, threatening to fight and fight

This puts the matter in an entirely
differet light and relieves him from
the charge first referred to. The case
will be taken to the circuit court.

ANARCHY RElGNS
IN SAN DOMINGO
Foreign Interests Look to United
States to Establish Stable
Government.

Washington, March 2.-Every re-
port that comes from San Domingo
indicates the existence there of state
approaching anarchy.
If there were a capable government
either regular or revolutionary
the state department would call upon
it to preserve the peace, protect
American interests and cause cessa-
ton of the frequent and annoying in
reference with American commerce.
But it is said there is no such gov
eminent and the department is loath
to embark upon a policy of policing
the island and chasing small guerrilla
bands thru the jungle.
Foreign interests are looking to the
United States to relieve their own gov
ernments of the necessity of taking
hold in San Domingo.

At the annual meeting of the Swedish
Hospital association last evening, Messrs
F. 3. Moody, G. W. Olson, Aaron Carlson
and f. Q. Streed were elected directors
for three years A suggestion to raise the
rates for ward patients from 81 to So per
week was voted down, altho, it was shown
that there was a slight loss at the former
figure. 1t was contended on the other
hand that nearly all the ward patients
were poor people and as the hospital was a
little ahead for the year there was no oc-
casion for raising the rates.
It was decided to dispense with the GUS
tom of printing a report for the year
1908 as the benefits would hardly equal the

PLANS MUST BE CHANGED
Specifications for Twin City Building
at ST. Louis Too Costly.

HAlderman c. B. Holmes left last
evening for st. Louis to arrange with
Architect Kelsey of the Model City ex-
hibit for awarding contract for the
twin city pavilion. The plans sup
piled by Mr.. Kelsey call for a building
somewhat beyond the means of the
twin city committee and there must
be several changes before the plans
will fit the pocket-book.
Mr.. Kelsey's fee Of 10 per cent and
the other expenses attending the con-
structiOn leaves the committee with
only $500 to spend in the erection Of
building. 1t is hoped by the COM
mittee that a creditable building can
be obtained for this sum, and assur-
ance are given that the twin cities
will be entirely satisfied with their
headquarters at the worlds fair.
1t Is admittedly late in the day to
start work, but the contractors declare
that with the large crew of exper-
fenced men that they have, it will not
take over five or six weeks to complete
the pavilion.
