CALLS THEM DOWN
Actor Henry Miller Reproves
UnseemIy Mlrth In Gallery

The fine London luxury of a 'boo-
ing gallery, or at least promising
equivalent, was enjoyed by a ST. Paul
audience last night at the Metropolitan
opera house. The patrons of this high
grade theater were privileged also to
see Actor Henry Miller cut the gordian
knot of Joseph Entangled'' by ringing
down the curtain and then reprove the
gallery for its "blackguardism.
In the midst of the breakfast scene,
or second scene of the first act the in
tellectual dainties of the stage palled on
the palate of one Olympian. He laughed
like certain Australian bird. Some OF
his neighbors, detecting eventually the
point of his witticism, added sounds
equally manegerialf Blithe repartee thus
grew by what it fed on until the heavens
resounded with the roar. Presently the
balcony, parquet and boxes were able to
understand as much of the stage con-
versation as the gallery had understood
before.
When the play had thus descended to
mere motion the curtain fell abruptly Mr..
Miller came forth. disentangled, but not
relieved. He said he regretted that he
had to step out of his part, but. he felt
obliged to do something ION behalf of
the ladies and gentlemen in his COM
pany," and he added, with discriminating
accent, the ladies and gentlemen in the
audience. He wished to protect them all
against such "blackguardism.
The gallery humorists were trying by
this time to think up rarer jokes, or
perhaps they had been suppressed They
made no reply to Mr.. Miller. The lower
parts of the house applauded him.
When the curtain rose again the Sec
ond scene went back to its beginning,
and the play proceeded without further
interruption.

TURNS DOWN NINTH.
Schools Board Declines to En-
large Smith School

Fruitless appeals from Ninth ward
delegation that measures be taken for
building an addition to the r. A. Smith
school at Geranium and Sylvan streets oc-
cupied the attention of the school board
last night.
T. P. Swan, chairman of the delegation,
and James Drummond, his lieutenant, ex-
planned that the Smith school was now
crowded; that only the opening of
parochial schools nearby had prevented
the attendance at the Smith from growing
faster than it had; that prospects indi-
Gated many more children within short
time than the school could possibly take
care or Already the principal of the
Smith was occupying hall as private
office. Even by next spring halliday ses-
sions might become necessary.
The Smith school, being more conven-
iently situated than either the Rice or the
German schools, ought to receive any adj
ditions made in the district.
Besides, said Mr.. Drummond, assessed
values showed that lots adjoining the
Smith school could be purchased much
more cheaply than those adjoining the
Rice or the German schools.
Finally, eff for no other reason than its
NAME" insisted Mr.. Drummond, the r.
A. Smith school should be made one OF
the top schools of st. Paul. -
President Holman explained that other
schools were much more crowded than
the Smith, and that the cost of charging
such schools, of repairing certain schools,
and of caring for an increased number OF
pupils, would absolutely prevent the board
from granting the request of the delega-
ton this year. But come around again
next year, gentlemen said the president

n. ECKES IS HELD
ON MURDER CHARGE
Osseo Saloonkeeper Says the
Authorities Did Not Do
Their Duty

Nick Eckes, the Osseo saloonkeeper
who shot Fred Roma in his saloon on
Monday night, was arraigned in the
municipal court yesterday on the
charge of murder in the first degree.
He demanded an examination and
the case was set for Oct. IA, in spite of
the fact that his attorneys demanded
an immediate hearing. The county at
torney objected to this programme on
the ground that the grand jury will
meet Monday.
When Eckes was taken back to his
cell he was in state of collapse.
Later he said the authorities of Osseo
were at fault, for. had the marshal of
the town performed his duty, Roma
would have been arrested in the after
noon and the ARRAY of the evening
would not have occurred.
He asserts Roma had been drinking
and was in a fighting mood. During
the afternoon he had whipped two men
and every one in the village was afraid
of him. Ss65e
Eckes says Roma had boosted he had
"done up two men and proposed to
incommode at least two more before
he desisted. The saloonkeeper was
crippled by shot I'VE years ago ana
he asserts he kept the revolver in his
saloon for the purpose of protection.
He warned Roma to stop, but he re-
fused to obey and finally Eckes shot
him. 91
Louis Ham, a resident of Osseo for
thirty years, corroborated the state
ment of Eckes and said he saw Roma
whip two men during the day. The
marshal of the village, Mr., Ham said,
was remiss in the performance of his
duty. s3..
1t is possible that an effort will be
made to secure the release of Eckes on
bail, although it is seldom a man charg-
ed with murder in the first degree, is

The young man was taken from train
Tuesday night at the union depot while
apparently insane because of religious ex-
element. The fact that he had Travelled
from the Northwest Territory and was
raving over sacred topics induced the
trainmen to describe him as Russian
Doukhobor.
But papers found in his pockets at the
Jail showed that he was a Scotch carpen-
ter, and that he was returning to his
home at Darsie, Fifeshire, Scotland. He
had a through ticket to New York, $50 in
cash, and a draft for E2u, or 500.

Smith appeared to be considering the
ssheriff's words, and the halt in the
proceedings gave Raasbach time in
which to think. He poured forth an
eloquent appeal for justice for himself
and his deputy, ereiterating his state
ment that he was not the sheriff, and
offered to do anything in his power to
accommodate the stranger. His elo-
quence finally won the day, and Smith,
who complained of being tired, was
enticed into the wagon.
He climbed UP to the front seat, or
dering the deputy to take the reins.
This was fatal mistake. for no sooner
had he seated himself, than Raasbach
sprang onto the rear seat and grasped
Smith about the body, pinning his arms
to his side.
Smith struggled and attempted to
draw a revolver. For time he was
prevented, but with a superhuman eff
fort he freed one arm and secured the
weapon, which he discharged over his
shoulder at the sheriff but missed him.
A few moments later the weapon was
wrested from his grasp.
AS soon as Smith saw that further
struggling was useless, he said, "All
right. I give up" and stretched out
his arms for the manacles, which were
Immediately fastened to his wrists. He
was then driven to Barronette and

fed.
Smith was wild-eyed and haggard
when captured and wore two months
growth of beard. When the beard was
shaved off one of the witnesses of the
shooting of Sheriff Harris identified
him as the man who fired the fatal
shot.
Smith acted in a peculiar manner
after his arrest and is believed to be
insane He is continually upon the
alert, starting up at the slightest
sound, glancing furtively around and
saying, "Ah! There they aren He i'm

The police department received

Murder of Harris
Smith is wanted for the murder of
Sheriff Harold O.. Harris, of st. Croix
county, on the night of June Is last,
while the latter was attempting to ar
rest Smith for the muraersof Officer
Fred stevens, of Havre, Mont, May 16.
1904. When Sheriff Harris, who pos
sessed a description of the man, at
tempted to arrest Smith as he alighted
from a train at Eau Claire, Smith
turned upon him and fired point blank,
the bullet penetrating the sheriff's
heart, killing him instantly
The deed was committed early in
the evening, in the full sight of a score
of persons. Smith held the crowd at
bay at the point of revolver, while he
moved off into the woods, and until
last Thursday had not been heard of.
Immediately after the murder of
Sheriff Harris posses were organized
and a search for the murderer began.
The man was surrounded several times
but through various ruses managed to
escape. The state militia was finally
called in to aid in the search. The
man was surrounded in swamp at
one time and was sighted, but was
not captured. The man hunt continued
for many weeks.
Smith often appeared, and at the
point of a revolver or gun stole
horses from the farmers. On one &C.
casion he rode boldly past a sentry
guarding a bridge across one of the
many creeks in that section of the
country, and on being commanded to
halt did so. He was disguised as
farmer and passed Inspection, being al
lowed to proceed. At another time he
entered a barber shop and was shaved.
The barber suspected who his GUS
toner was but was afraid to secure
him. After he departed the barber
alarmed the village.
Smith was often sighted and fired
upon while eluding his pursuers. but
was wounded only slightly. After six
weeks Smith was lost track of and the
posses abandoned the search.
A reward Of $1,000 was offered for
the arrest of Smith.
