GOODRICH BLAMES
CITY FOR DELAY
Says Street Car Company Would Have
Rushed improvements but for
Charter

A meeting of the Commercial club
listened to the report Of the committee
on city development which touched on
number of matters of interest. The
principal subject treated in the report
Goodrich, of the Twin City Rapid Tran
sit company, covering the hesitation of
the company to push forward the inn
provements promised some time ago.
Among these improvements was the
extension of the Rendo street line; the
building of a line to Lake Phalen and
the construction of another interurban
connection with Minneapolis.
Mr.. Goodrich told the committee that
the new charter provision which makes
obligatory the payment to the city Of
B per cent of the gross earnings of all
street railways constructed conflicts
with the charter held by the company,
and while the company had contem-
plated spending s1,200,009 in extensions
and improvements this year that it
would be Impossible to do SO unless the
charter was amended so as to comply
with the franchise of the company.
A friendly suit is now in the courts
to determine this point and the COM
mittee recommended that the 1itiga-
ton be expedited.
Another matter considered in the re-
port was the recommendation that the
Commercial club of Minneapolis join
with the Commercial club of this city
to bring pressure to bear in the mat
ter of improving the mail service Of
the Twin Cities.

SUBSIDY UNPOPULAR
Marine Committee Finds 1t
Meets With Little Favor


The congressional committee OF
merchant marine spent few hours in
this city yesterday morning and de-
parted westward On the Great North
ern flyer at 1870 o'clock. During the
brief stay Congressman E. S. Minor,
of Wisconsin, voicing his personal
opinion. said that they. had already
found that direct ship subsidy was
an unpopular measure and that the
commission would have to consider
some other method Of securing trade
for American shipping.
He suggested two plans. The first of
these was to assist .shipping by liberal
foreign mail contracts. which would re-
suit in more speed and directness thar
is necessary where no mail is carried,
and at the same time afford the
transportation companies enough reve-
nue. to defray the expenses of the adj
ditionaI speed and directness.
The second suggestion was that a
system of preferential differentials be
inaugurated so that it will be distinct
money advantage to the shipper to
import in American vessels.
President Smith and Secretary Slime,
of the Commercial club, and Congress
man Stevens received the party and
escorted the members to breakfast at
the Ryan, after which there was an
automobile ride about town, which
only concluded in time to catch the
train.

Proposals for the furnishing of sup

quarter beginning Aug 1 will be re-

is estimated that the board will award
contracts for supplies for the wards of
the state appreximating $140,00
The quarterly contracts usually en-
tered into by the board amount to
about $125,000, but as the quarter about
to begin is the first quarter of the
states fiscal year. the board has ad-
vertised for years supply of canned
goods, drugs and a. number of other
staple 7iarticles commonly used in the
state institutions and in which there
is no danger of loss by CARRYING q

The board will contract for canned
goods by. the carload, for great guam
titles Of canned corn, tomatoes, peas,
beans, peaches, apples, pIums and other
staple articles used in the state institu-
TONS. -sie.ss,, s.,s...
The. yearly supply of drugs fer the
hospitals for the. insane, the prisons
and semi-charitable institutions will be
bought at this time, and this supply
costs several thousands of dollars.
The award of the contracts for sup
plies for state institutions means a
vast deal of work for the state dairy
and food commission, for the experts
of the commission are required to make
analyses Of many of the articles sub
mitted by sample and then to make
analyses of the actual goods purchase
to determine whether or not these con-

STATE FAIR WILL PAY
FOR GOOD VEGETABLES
Big Prizes Are Posted for the Asri.
cultural Exhibits

Division j, i'm the Minnesota state
far premium list, means vegetables
and farm products" And Division j is
one of the most important sections of
the great state fair. The products ex-
h1bited in the great agricultural hall
represent more distinctly than any 9TH
ers the very bone and sinew of North
western agricultural prosperity.
While the management of the state
fair recognizes every other department
OF agricultural activity most literally
and is striving to develop the agri-
cultural life of. the state in all direc-
lions, it must, OF course, take esp4r
cial pride in the department of agri-
culture and Keep watchful eye OH
the premium offers that exhibitors
may have every encouragement to
make the best possible display. This
year the premium offers for vegetables,
grains, grasses and the like have been
completely revised and it is believed
brought up to date in every particular.
The class devoted to vegetables opens
with q premium Of S100, offered for a
collection of not less than twenty va
rieties Of not less than ten species.
This premium money is to be divided
according to score, 100 to be taken as a
standard. In addition to this a pro
rata division to the exhibit scoring
highest an additional $12 will be paid;
for the second best, SIS, and for the
third best, So.
N. s. Gordon, of Crookston, is SUI
perintendents of the agricultural df-
vision, and Oh K. Bergot, also of Crook
ston, assistant. J. H. Shepperd will be
the Judge. No entries will be received
after Aug. ~, and exhibitors are re-
Quested to make their entries at least
one week before the opening of the
fair. This year the fair opens Aug. %
and closes Sept 8. Ha1f-fare rates
have been secured on all railroads.

NO AFTERNOON MAIL
St. Paul Letter Carriers Off to
Picnic Today


The annual outing of the st. Paul
letter carriers, to~be~-held this after
noon at Tonka Bay, Minnetonka, will
result in no afternoon delivery of mail
throughout the city today.
The first train to leave for the lake
will leave the union depot at 1920 this
morning, but the train carrying the
major number of the letter carriers
and the holiday crowd will leave the
station at Las.
Committees Of the. carriers have been
at work for some weeks in perfecting
preliminary arrangements for a pro-
gramme to make the outing a success,
independent of the attractions at the
lake. There will be boat and swimming
races, running races for swift boys
and girls, for fat men, for lean men,
three-legged men, prizes for Caledo-
MAN games, and finally, a baseball
game, with nothing less than a case of
wine as the trophy.
Members of the association last night
said that indications point to the most
successful picnic in the history of the
Letter Carriers association.

Empire theater the night of July IL,
after which he shot and seriously
wounded himself in an attempt at sui
clde, was arrested yesterday afternoon
at the city hospital and removed to
the county Jail trs+.r
The warrant upon which Herr was
arrested was sworn out by Lieut. Horn.
OF the police department, yesterday,
and charges Herr with assault with an
attempt to kill The issuance of the
warrant has been delayed for the rea-
son that Herr was in a serious condi-
ton at the city hospital, where he
was being treated for the wound in
f1icted at the time he attempted to
end his own life
Herr is still in serious condition.

shooting, however, it has been learned
that the woman is Mrs. Charles Saun-
ders, former, resident of ST. Cloud,
where her husband is now in business.

she did not desire to prosecute Herr.
The prosecution will be made by the
state, and the woman is being detained
as witness and is virtually a pris-
oner. She will be held pending Herr's
trial.
The shooting is supposed to have
been caused by jealousy. Herr and the
woman had been working" together
for some time, the woman doing a song
and dance turn at the Empire, while
Herr operated the calcium light It
was just after she had finished her
turn and had gone into the balcony.
where she joined man at a table and
commenced drinking, that Herr ap-
preached and shot her e.
Three shots were fired at the woman,
all of which took effect, after which
Herr turned the revolver and fired a
bullet into his own head.
After being removed to the hospitals
1T was learned that neither the man
nor the woman was fatally injured, and
the authorities have been waiting for
Hers condition to improve sufficiently
to remove him to the county Jail be-
fore swearing out the warrant. Herr'S
trial, unless postponement is secured.
will come before the October grand
jury, and may be tried at the October
term of court.
