HAD A TOBACCO HEART
INDIAN SOUGHT TO ENLIST IN
NAVY, BUT WAS Rejected
BLOOD NOT AGAINST HIM.

Naval recruiting comes to an end
for a time in Minneapolis tonight.
Lieutenant Beckner and his party will
open an office in st. Paul Monday
morning. At noon to-day seven sail
ors had been enlisted from Minneapo-
lis. They will be sent east tonight.
This is behind the record of the party,
but Lieutenant Beckner attributes the
small number to the prosperity of the
northwest.
A full-blooded Chippewa Indian
presented himself yesterday afternoon
for enlistment. Lieutenant Beckne1
was puzzled as to whether an Indian
could be legally enlisted for the navy
but could find nothing in the regula-
tons to bar him. The applicant was
Da-Gwa-Gah-Na, from the Bots fort
reservation. He came from neal
Tower, MINI. He announced in broken
English that he wished to see "the
big water" and told of his proves
In handling a canoe.
Beckner turned the applicant over
to the examiner. He was finely pro.
portioned, but it was discovered thai
he had a bad heart from excessive
use of tobacco. So he was rejected.

HEALTH AND SANITATION
Discussed at Riverside Chapel, I'M
provment League Meeting.

A new and valuable plan of work
adopted by the Improvement League
is that Of holding neighborhood meet
ings in the interests Of health and
sanitation. A we'll attended meeting
was held last night at Riverside
chapel, addressed by DR.. Mabel Ul-
rich, Professor D. H. Painter and DR..
P. NJ. Hall. The meeting was pre-
sided over by Rev. w. S. Ward, pas
tor Of the chapel, who hopes to have
regular talks on practical subjects
that will aid in raising the standard of
living in the community.
Professor Painter spoke on 1.-THE
Public school as a Training for Citi-
zenship. Professor Painter would
provide organizations for school chill
dren in which the lessons Of citizen
ship should be taught. Already vaca-
ton clubs have been organized which
will give much attention to garden
ing, over $50 boys having made
vegetable gardens. - !" 71{
DR.. Ulrich gave directions for the
care Of little children during the sum-
mer months. She advised keeping
babies out of doors as much as posi-
BILE and urged an exclusive milk diet
for the first year at least. Much in
FAINT Illness is caused by feeding at all
hours instead of regularly.
1.-THE disposal of Garbage was DR..
Halls subject and he made it clear
that the health department could not
be expected to clean private property.
He recommended one can for garbage,

NO So RATE TO CHICAGO.
INJUNCTION AGAINST WoMEN,s
CATHOLIC ORDER OF FOREST
ERS - MEETING HELD TO
KNOCK OUT RATE.

An injunction having issued in Chi
cago against holding the convention
Of the Women's Catholic Order of
Foresters in ST. Paul or anywhere
else May 10, railway men say the So
round trip rate from Chicago will not
be in force, the rate dying with the
convention. This may temporarily
head off a general decentralization in
passenger rates, which was expected
to result from the cut rate round trip
from Chicago to the twin cities. If
the rate is off ticket brokers will not
reap the rich harvest expected in
Minneapolis and st. Paul from the
sale Of the return part of tickets.
The false report from Chicago that
the Wisconsin Central had made a So
rate to offset the Milwaukee's rate
made much work yesterday for Var
ney Russell, the former roads city
ticket agent.
The rate war is probably only post
poned, as the Minneapolis-C Chicago
lines that have no direct line to St.
Louis are not expected to stand by and
watch the roads that have carry off
the major part Of the exposition bust
ness. If the SO rate obtains it is not
likely that normal rates will return
while the st. Louis fair continues.

called upon Mr.. Washburn, claiming
to be representative Of the Interna
tional Encyclopedia & Art company.
He exhibited a check for $3.50 pur-
porting to have been signed by James
J. Hill, and said by Smith. to have been
paid him for "write-up'. in the en-
cyclopedia. Mr.. Washburn was i'm
pressed and Smith secured a check
for $3.50.
After Smith left suspicion was
aroused and the matter was reported
to the police. Detective Oscar Hicks
arrested Smith just as he was about to
leave for Chicago. He maintained
stoutly that there was nothing irregu-
lar in his conduct. When confronted
with the fact that the Hill check was
forged, and that Mr.. Hill was ready to
testify to that effect he weakened. In
police court this morning he waived
examination.
An examination Of Smiths effects
shows that he is a swindler Of no or
binary ability. He had letter of in
PRODUCTION to Mr.. Hill, written upon
the private letter paper Of Andrew
Carnegie and bearing the coat Of arms
Of Skibo castle, Scotland. His S"paP'
is said to be in Chicago, but no war
rant has been issued for him.

JOURNAL CAR TIME TABLE
FOUR TRIPS A DAY PROVIDED
FOR IN SCHEDULE TO BECOME
EFFECTIVE NEXT MONDAY.

Commencing Monday The Journals
car Seeing Minneapolis" will make
four trips every day except Sunday,
leaving The Journal building at 3 a..
m. and 2 p m. for the tour of the resi-
dence districts and lake boulevards,
and at II a. m. and 4 p. m. for a tour
Of the River parkway and visit to
the university and flour mills
There is such a demand for seats
on these trips, and, considering the
very low rate asked for tickets, The
Journal hopes it's friends will exercise
as much consideration as possible in
securing seats. Tickets may be re-
served for any trip in advance and
parties Of ten, occupying all seats,
may make either tour desired, but it
is not the intention to have the car
make any other routes than the two
planned which include the best por-
lions of Minneapolis and offer the
most beautiful scenery.
The above schedule will be adhered
to as closely as possible, weather per-
hitting, but The Journal reserves the
right to cancel trips without notice,
when, of course, tickets will be re-
funded or exchanged for other trips.
However, it should be borne in mind
that unless tickets are returned at
least before the trip for which they
are sold, they will not be redeenable.
No Sunday trips are contemplated and
for the present no evening trips, the
trips above stated comprising the cars
full schedule.
The car has made a great hit t

three trips day, each trip be.
loaded and many people being disap-
pointed not being able to secure tick
cts. The primary object Of The Jour
nails car is to enable visitors to see
the hitherto inaccessible points of in
terest about Minneapolis at a mini
mum cost, and The Journal in
vites it's friends from out Of town to
avail themselves Of this opportunity
when they come to Minneapolis. The
people who have patronized the car
this week have all spoken in the high
est terms of the service offered, and
the intention is to keep it at a high
standard.

SENIOR CLASS PLAY
Attractive Specialties Strung Together
by Clever Story.

New and original specialties, artis-
tically put on, will form an impOr-
tant feature Of the university senior
class play to be presented at the Met
ropolitan opera-house Saturday after
noon and evening, May %. There are
eleven numbers on the program, and
while each will be a complete fea-
ture in itself, the correlation Of the
dramatic action and the specialties
will be such as to form a congruent
whole.
Forty-six young men and women of
the senior class are rehearsing regu-
larly for the specialties alone, and
under the direction of Miss Ethel
Malcolm, they are rapidly becoming
proficient in their parts. In years
past the special features have been
effectively put on, but have been open
to the criticism that no one not init
mately acquainted with university life
could appreciate their humoruos sug-
gestions. This fault will be overcome
to large extent this season, and an
effort is being made to give the story
and the "take-offs'' scope broad
enough to permit outsiders as we'll
as university people to enjoy them.
The University quartet-seniors who
have achieved more than college
reputation in music-will furnish the
serious musical features of the per-
Torrance, and their repertory includes
some melodious numbers which have
never been given in public here.
Some of the other specialties are
two fancy Dances new in conception
and original in the plan Of execution
and costuming; a spectacular march,
and, as finales for the. first. and sec
ond acts, striking ensemble effects.
In chapel scene an opportunity for
an athletic speciality will be taken
advantage Of. Athletics in general,
and certain well-known athletes, will
be made the subjects Of the perform
| ers' wit. Several well-known mem
bers of the football squad will take
| part in this feature. A society spe-
cialty is also on the program.
The committee of seniors in charge
Of the speciality program is Charles
Pehoushek, Louis l.. Collins, Laura
Easton and Marjorie Cole.

TROUBLE in THE
W. c. 0. F. CAMP
CONVENTION ENJOINED-DEL-
EGATEs NOW ON THE WAY.
Women's Catholic Order of Foresters
Divided Over Date of Convention
Date Said to Have Been Changed
to Prevent Attendance of Teacher
Members

The Women's Catholic Order of
Foresters has been restrained from
holding it's biennial convention in
Minneapolis May 10 by an injune-
ton issued yesterday by Judge Tuley
of Chicago. The high court was or
dered not to call a meeting until Aug.
10. AS some Of the delegates are
already here and others on the way,
the injunction has caused much con-
fusion.
The date set by the last meeting
was the third Tuesday in August.
This was changed about two months
ago by the high court in Chicago, on
the ground that the action of the con-
vention In changing the time Of meet
ing from May to August was uncon-
stitutional. The return to the May
date met with opposition both in Min-
neapolis and in Chicago, where all Of
the previous conventions have been
held. Many of the members are
GERS preferred the May date in order
that these members might be kept
from attending.
The high chief ranger is charged
with being influenced by personal
motives in her management of the
affairs of the order and with desire
to check discussion Of the recent
troubles.
Local Foresters had opposed the
change of date and had sent in pro-
tests, altho they took no active part
in the injunction case. They had
made practically no preparations for
the meeting; all that had been done
was by the orders Of the high court.
1t is thought that about ten delegates
from the west arrived in Minneapolis
before the injunction, and many
others must have started, as the rep
resentation is about 600, whose ex-
penses are paid by the order and
whose attendance is practically re-
CURED The clash will mean the in
curing of heavy expense bills that
will have to be met in some way.
