HE REMAINS AT WESLEY
CHURCH BOARD REFUSES TO AC-
CEPT REV. j. s. MONTGOMERY'S
RESIGNATION AND REFLECTS
HIM PASTOR.

Declining a call to Trinity church,
Denver, at q higher salary, Rev. J..
s. Montgomery will remain in Min
neapolts as pastor of Wesley M. E..
church.
This is my home and my friends
are here" was his comment today in
expressing his qualification at the
final decision.
Some time ago when DR.. Montgom-
cry was at Chautauqua, N. Y, he
received a call to the prosperous Dem
yer church. The idea Of permanent
pastorates is comparatively new in
the Methodist church, and as the doc
tor had already served Wesley five or
six years, he seriously wondered if
it We're not time for change. In
fact, he sent his resignation to Min
neapolis by telegraph. The official
board of the church promptly met
and laid the matter; on the table.
Last night there was 5li az iii notable
meeting. OF the Wesley board In the
Andrus building, when between thirty
and forty members were present.
The resignation was taken from the
table and a motion to accept it was
defeated by a unanimous vote. It
was also voted to retain DR.. Mont
gomery as pastor for an indefinite
period subject to confirmation by the
bishop. This latter condition is
purely formal, however as both
Bishop Joyce and Presiding Elder
Fielder have been much interested in
retaining Wesley's present pastor.

BURGLAR LEFT MESSAGE
FACETIoUs NOTE TO VICTIMS
CAUSES ARREST OF THE NO.
TORIOUS CHICAGO KID"

Desire for more notoriety has been
the undoing Of George Fredericks,
alias Chicago Kid" clever colored
sneakthief who has been in Minneapo-
lis for several weeks. He is under
arrest in st. Paul.
Not content with robbing the
residences of his victims, his facetious
disposition prompted him to leave a
message in one Of them and when the
family of Andrew B. MacCaughey
533 Portland avenue. st. Paul, re-
turned home they found everything
topsy-turvy and on a sheet Of fly
paper they found this message:
Has been here and gone. Chicago
Kid"
AS soon as this was reported to po-
lice headquarters, Bertillion In
spectors Murnane, who is said to- know
every professional crook in the west,
sent out description of the mo-
torious Chicago Kid" and as result
Fredericks was picked up. The po-
lice say they have found part Of the
stolen goods which Fredericks took
from the MacCaughey residence, also
some papers from the residence Of
Olof Holm, 976 Lincoln avenue, st.
Paul.
Fredericks is known by reputation
to the Minneapolis police, but none
of the officers knew that he was in

WHEAT HARD HIT
IN MANY PLACES
H. v. JONES SAYS CROP WILL NOT
BE HEAVY.
Rust Has Done Serious Damage in
Minnesota and South Dakota, and
Is Advancing Into North Dakota
Total United States Crop Will Be
1O7.000,OOO Bushels Under Last
Year.

II. ". Jones, who is in the spring
wheat fields investigating conditions,
sent a summary from Fargo today
which substantiates in part the re-
ports of damage to wheat by rust
that We're circulated last week. Mr..
Jones finds wheat dead in some places
In Minnesota and seriously cut in
other localities in North and South
Dakota. Unless North Dakota does
unusually well in the north central
and west central parts the total yield
for the three states will not be large,
but the total yield cannot be esti-
mated yet.
Following is the summary:
The northwest wheat crop will be
very disappointing to those who have
pinned faith to the extravaganza claims
issued recently by the government
and northwest estimators who work
from their offices rather from the
field.
Except in North Dakota the prom
Use has not been high for wheat at
any time The promise in North Da-
kota ranged from fair to bumper, ac-
cording to localities, but serious loss
Of yield is now threatened by black
rust In that state that may force a
wheat calamity or simply result in
loss Of yield, depending on whether
the rust moves over the state and at
tacks late wheat at time Of going into
the dough. There are threatening in
dications, as the rust has done a
more or less serious work over South
Dakota and in the south half of Min
nesota and is advancing apparently
into North Dakota, the southern
counties being infected at this time.
Much Of the wheat in southern
counties of North Dakota is dead as a
result Of rust and it may as well be
ic, nJr yo&4 ~ oes&
in North Dakota will come earlier
than expected, as result of rust.
Wheat will be cut in North Dakota
this week in rust districts, and the
quality Of the wheat will be greatly
impaired and weight will run light.
Much of this kind of wheat will be a
mere chaff or screening. Some that
promised twenty bushels will not be
cut, so badly infected is it.
1.-THE crop yield cannot be esti-
mated for several days, as the rust
must have time to run it's course be-
fore minimum figures are given safely.
1t is enough to say now that South
Dakota, outside Of rust damage, had
only moderate crop Of wheat, the
smallest for many years, and Mime
sofa would not have increased more
than South Dakota lost. North Da-
kota alone had extra prospect, and
any gain in northwest yield over last
year would have come from that
state. The government suggestion,
July 1, Of 55,000,000 bushels for South
Dakota, was fully 20,00O,o0O bushels
higher than the conditions then war
ranted.
''The United States Crop.-The
wheat crop Of the United States will
not be much, if any, in excess Of $780,
100000, or 107, 100000 less than the
crop result last year on government
basis"

BOYS TAUGHT TO STEAL
JUNK PEDDLER ACCUSED OF IN
STRUGGLING LADS HOW TO BE
JIMMY MEN'-ARREsT Elk
PECTED.

Investigation following the ac-
cusation of two young boys against a
junk peddler on Second avenue has
caused the police to think that the
man is conducting school of crime.
The boys, who are about IA years
old, We're found Intoxicated. and told
the officers that the junk man had
them steal rags and iron for him, and
would pay them in bottled beer. It
now appears that he is teaching sew
eral boys the art Of stealing and on a
large scale.
Wilfred Cummings, I'LL Sixth ave.
nue. N, and Charles Irving, 1905 Ninth
avenue 8, were caught coming out of
a building by a special officer last
night. and when locked up they said
this secondhand dealer had told
them to rob the place and further had
instructed them how to get into the
building with ease.
This is only part Of the evidence
that has come to light regarding this
man, and the police will probably
make an arrest today

Winter.

Convention In Minneapolis Early In the
Winter.
Announcement was made at the month
ly meeting of the Grocers' association last
evening that there would be state con-
vention Of grocers in Minneapolis early in
the winter. A general committee was
elected to complete arrangements for the
entertainment of the guests.
y Protests were made against short
weights in cracker packages sold by
wholesale bakers. It was commended that
packages are weighed when freshly baked
and that there is material shrinkage by
the time they are delivered to the grocer
1t was decided to send protest to the
biscuit manufacturers and ask that plan
Of weighing be adopted which would be
satisfactory all around.
Complaints were brought up that a
number of peddlers in the city were doing
business without license. A man will
be engaged by the association to make
an investigation and to see that the ordi-
nance is enforced.

WILL, NEVER BE OLD SALTS
tackles from the Y. S. S. Albany Sick Of
the Service.


Sixty sailor boys from the U. S. s.
Albany passed thru the twin cities yes
terday on their way to New York, where
they will receive their discharges. Most
of the jackies were one-term men, and
declared emphatically that they would not
re-enlist under any circumstances. They
had had enough Of bareback and had been
disappointed in the idea that they were
going to see something of the world. On
the other hand, there were a few old
hands who swore that they would stick
by the service.
"Shiver hy timbers!' piped an old
boatswain, ut faint no use to- try to
make sailors out of these landlubbers.
AS soon as one Of those young Annapolis
officers orders them to get busy they
stand on their dignity as American free
men, and get hung up for three months
pay. It takes an old salt like myself to
stand the knocks. These young fellows
miss the comforts Of home, and they amt
no more use than a fishing smack in a
typhoon when it comes to real service"

as it is estimated that there are over

taken by the public to be toadstools, but
are in reality harmless and palatable.
