DIR. HALL AND DIR. CORBETT GO
MICROBE HUNTING.
They Started Down from Anoka in q
Batteau This Morning, but Big
Log jam Made It Necessary to
Finish the Voyage on Foot.

The Mississippi river is to beanal-
yzed from Camden Place to Anoka.
At the request of the pure water
commission, the health department
to-day began a series Of tests to as
certain II there is any substantial diff
ference In the river water at Camden
Place and fifteen miles up stream.
Many samples will be taken weekly
from dozen points, and these will
be subjected to. chemical and bacte-
biological analyses and tested for. color
and turbidity. If
The most interesting feature of this
work is the collection Of the samples
with Dr.. 2. M. Hall and DR.. ]. Frank
Cprbetti as PERSONAL conductors.
They left for Anoka last evening so as
to make an early start and before z
CLOCK this morning they were afoat
o nthe river in one of the big bat
teaux Of the Mississippi and Rum
Graw as skipper and fart" as first
mate.
The trip was exciting, for a baateau
is only little bit steadier than a
canoe, and thecurrent is likely to be
treacherous. particularly in Coon
rapids.
Samples Of wheat were taken above
and below Rum river, up the Rum
river about half a mile from the
mouth, above and below Coon Creek
and Rice creek and at intermediate
points.
Gathering samples in a scientific
manner is a particular task, and re-
qufres special apparatus. Every care
must be taken that no bacteria get
into the water except those that be-
long there. The stopper must not
be touched by human hands, for there
are bacteria ons5the hands even after
five or six washings.
So the stopper and the bottle are
handled with sterilized forceps. The
rod with which the fishing is done is
about fifteen feet long, for the water
is to be taken from ten feet below
the surface. The rod is so contrived
that the stopper can be pulled and
inserted again while the bottle is
under water.
The scientists got more of an out
ing this morning than they bargained
for. At Rice creek big log jam
barred the way and Skipper McGraw
tied up to the ''whanigan' near by and
the scientists had to walk to Camden
Place, three and a half miles The
walk was not so bad, but the big grips
filled with water bottles made the dis
lance seem twenty miles.

PROTECT THOSE WHO SUPPORT
UNIONS. i.tsz&ET $sf


In line with it's action on former. coca
sions, when union sub contractors had
jobs uncompletede at the time the. general
contractor was declared unfair, the Build
ing Trades Council may allow the plas-
tering on the George Reayey Park avenue
house to be comp leteds with union men.
Council, Philip CarIin, said to-day that the
executive; board would meet tonight to
consider the, matter. !. The plaster contrac-
tor would be due to lose $4,000 or SO
should he be compelled to drop the con-
tract on account Of the "call out" :, of
union men on the c. F. Haglin jobs. For
that reason he may be permitted to COM
plete thelwork. Other Haglin subcontracts
will be taken up consecutively in case APP
plication is made.
Mr.. Carlin says the council does not
wish to see any hardship worked in case
clash comes. AS the council did three
years ago it will take building contracts
and see the work thru. The only prob
able trouble on May IS, the date set bs
the Builders and Traders Exchange for
the end of sympathetic strikes, will come
from some contractor attempting the open

.REFORMAIORY
Not A PRISON
SUPREME COURT MAKES VERBAL
u RULING ON THE POINT.
Holds that Confinement at st. Cloud
Institution Is Not Ground for Dr.
vorce 49, superintendent Randall
Appeared Himself as Attorney In
the Case.

The st. Cloud Reformatory is not a
prison within the meaning OF the law.
Frank =. Randall superintendent Of
the institution, received verbal as
surance from the supreme court to-
day that 1t would so decide. Mr..
Randall was much pleased, as he has
always commended that the reforma-
tory should not give man the same
stigma that attaches to confinement
In the penitentiary BIZ.
The question came up in the di-
yorce action of Ida Dion against
Joseph G. Dion, who is an inmate of
the reformatory. The complaint gave
the statutory ground that the defend
ant was an inmate of state prison.
Mr.. Randall acted as attorney for
Dion In orde rto test the point, and
entered a demurrer to the complaint,
holding that confinement at the re-
formatory was not in the meaning of
the statute. This demurrer was sus-
tanned by Judge Cant Of Duluth, and
on the appeal it will be upheld by the
supreme court, which made a verbal
decision to-day shutting off further
argument on the point.
Divorces have been granted for the
same cause by judges who took an op-
posite view, but the question has never
before been brought before the SUI
preme court. =

HOW RATE W AIRS
HIT The INNOCENT
CHAMBER OF COMMERCE. MEN
TOLD THE I. @. q.
They Had Every Opportunity to De-
scribe Conditions Affecting North
western Grain and Flour Trade, and
Are Satisfied that Their Presenta-
ton Of Facts Will Bear Fruit.

Charles C. Bovey, John l.. McCaull, H
p. Gallaher and E. N Fairchild, who reps
resented the Minneapolis Chamber of
Commerce and the milling interests before
the interstate commerce commission at
last weeks conference in New York, re-
turned this morning. The Minneapolis
men were received in special session by
the commission and the railroad repre-
sentatives.
Every trunk line had one or more men
in the conference and with the delega-
ton fro, meastern commercial bodies and
managers of large eastern shipping and
terminal interests. the meeting made UP
one Of the most thoroly representative
collection of traffic experts ever gathered.
Before this body the Minneapolis men had
opportunity to present the case from the
Minneapolis viewpoint and they used the
opportunity to theh full.
John l.. McCaull read q paper reviewing
the situation and showing the disastrous
effects of eastern rate wars upon the Min
neapolis milling industry, and the impos-
sibility of maintaining the industry
against Decentralization in export rates for
wheat
The technical end of the question was
taken up by c. c. Bovey Of the Wash
burn Crosby company, who gave the COM
mission specific instances of damage re-
sultant from the, recent rate cuts on wheat
from Buffalo to New York.
Both were complimented by the railroad
men for their exposition Of the subject
and the chairman of the interstate COM
MERGE commission expressed himself as
having received a better knowledge Of the
situation than it had been possible to OBJ
tain before, and as personally satisfied OF
the justice Of many of the Minneapolis
arguments.
The Minneapolis men believe something
very important has been accomplished, as
the first step toward the great goal, and
say that governmental prevention of de-
moralizing rate wars, and an equalization
of rates on wheat nd flour are certain to
come ultimately.
