WHITNEY URGES
ROOTS BY WEIGHT.
ALSO REPORTS THAT COAL
DEALERS ARE. HONEST.
These the Leading Features in the
Annual Report of the City, SealeP .
of Weights and Measures-He
Found No Short Weight Coal.

In his annual message to the city
council. Ralph w. Whitney, sealer Of
weights and measures. takes up the
old question OF selling : roots, and
large vegetables by weight instead OF
by measure. He Will have ready; for
the next legislature a. bill, providing
for the sale of vegetables in small
quantities by weight and wants the
city council to: help In the campaign.
If the law specified the width and
depth of peck and half-peck meas
ures there would not be so much .oc-
casion for complaint, but the So
called "bottomless" measures, which
are long and narrow, work against
the consumers when turnips and ruta-
bagas, potatoes and similar vegetables
are being measured. Mr.. Whitney's
ideas We're embodied in a bill intro
duced in the house last winter by
Represen tative-G-- BS-Shove.--~It-wa
passed by that body, but killed in the
senate. 49, '1~~,
Mr.. Whitney expresses satisfaction
with the workings Of the ordinance
governing the sale of coal. He has
all manner of circumstances and be-
lieves that every consumer is getting
full weight all the time. With the
wood ordinance he is not SO we'll satis-
fed. A cord of hardwood cut down to
stove length will not measure a full
cord and herein there is some dis
satisfaction not only on the part Of
the purchaser, but also with the seal
er, for he can't measure the wood
without having the load dumped and
piled up He cannot force anyone TO
do the piling, but must do it himself
at a great loss Of time.

Blackjack who had something to do
with Sullivan's disappearance and wish
to shield themselves. ,--..
AS the identification was made only
by the shoes and they were Of COM

"Dutch'' Munich Will Be With the
Millers Next Season.

A telegram to T he Journ a l
from President Watkins Of the Mime
apolis baseball club says that Watkins
has signed George p. Mnuch, better
known as Dutch Munich, as Pitcher.
Munich is a left-hander, claimed last
summer by former President Johnson,

Last year he pitched for the Racine
team in the Wisconsin-Illino indie
pendent league, and made phenome-
nal record, pitching five successive
shut-out games. Several other clubs
were after the speedy youngster, and
Johnston thinks he is almost certain
to prove one of the best pitchers of the

SALOON MEN CONSIDER ABOIr
ISHING FREE LUNCHES,
They Estimate the Total Expense at
More Than Half a Million Dollars a
Year for Minneapolis Lunches At
tract Disreputable Characters.

In an endeavor to save several
Thousand dollars a day in free lunches,
the retail liquor dealers of the city are
meeting this afternoon in Union Tenn
pie. Herman Rose, president of the
Minneapolis Liquor Dealers associa-
ton, called the meeting.
The abolition of the free lunch has
been discussed and attempted more
than once NTH last few years, and a
few downtown saloon-keepers insti-
tuted the custom last summer, of CIV
ing out free lunch checks with each
drink purchased at the bar.
This scheme was not found effect
ive, however, and it has been general
~, Abandoned.
The circular letter sent out to
members says Of the free lunch:
It Is responsible for the presence Of 8
large percentage of the disreputable char
acters who infest the city and have be-
come pronounced nuisance. The saloon
keeper spends from 81 to SIS per day for
lunch from which he receives nothing.
Take an average Of SIS per day for lunch,
which we consider fair estimate, the
381 saloonkeepers are spending $596, 265
yearly for lunch, of which amount three
fourths go to fill the mouths of buns and
hangers-on, who are a nuisance and a
detrirnent to the saloonkeepers business.

pany will fulfil all It's promises. "
1t appears that the consul simply de-
niles that any arrangements have yet been
made, by the company with the Argentine
government. In the first place, it is said
that the consul did not approach the
proper officials for information and that
arrangements for concessions have been
