Minneapolis. In the afternoon, Mr.
Small addressed the men IS mass meeting
at the Y. M. G. A., and delighted his
hearers with his sallies Of Irish wit and
forceful sentences, calling for a higher

the hard places in life. In the evening
at the church, the evangelist spoke
again to full house on ''The Reasona-
bleness of Christianity' in which he ar
gued personal God as an intellectual
necessity.' Two persons professed
conversion last night. The church is
aroused to push forward vigorous cam

FULTON'S LAKE
HOME BURNED
Fire Destroys Beautiful Residence
at zumbra Heights-Loss
$4,000.

The beautiful, othree-story residence Of
Lumber company, at Zumbra Heights,
Lake Minnetonka, was burned to the
ground yesterday.
The fire started in or near the roof,
presumably from a defective or over
heated chimney. There was no appara-
their way irresistibly thru the big
building, but SO slowly that most Of the
loose furnishings on the first and second
floors were saved. The house was val;
ued at $4,000, and the loss Of contents
is estimated at. $4,000. Mr.. Fulton
carried $4,000 insurance on the house
and ST 200 on the contents.
The Fulton residence was one of the
finest on the lake. It occupied a beau
tiful position overlooking the lake, and
at the front Of a large estate, part of
which Mr.. Fulton has put into a farm.
1t was a magnificent house, architec-
turally, and was crowded with expen-
siye furniture and rare and costly brio
a;brac and other things: 1t was built
about five years ago, and since then the
family have lived in it almost continu-
ously, having no residence in the city.
This year they moved into Minneapo-
lis earlier than usual and yesterday Mr..
and Mrs Fulton went out to spent Sun
day at the lake. They were taking din
ner at l:oO O'Clock at the farm mouse,
some distance from the residence, when
the coachman ran into the diningroom,
and between his violent gasps for
breath, gave the dread announcement
that the residence was on fire.
Mr.. and Mrs. Fulton rushed to the
scene and saw the flames bursting thru
the roof. They Immediately summoned
what help they could, and began the
work of saving the contents. When
the coming of the flames drove the lit
tie salvage corps from the house, they
had to stand helpless in the, yard and

JONES GAINS ON
OFFICIAL COUNT
HAYNES. MANAGERS NOT salts.
FLED AND WILL CONTEST.
Official Checking Today Increases Jones
Lead in Seven Wards by Thirty-six-
, Haynes Managers Are Claiming That
Actual Ballots Would Show Gain of
Thirteen for Their Man.

With returns from 80 of the l39 vot-
ing precincts in Minneapolis covered by
the official canvassing board, D. ?.
Jones, republican candidate for mayor,
has made net gain of thirty-six votes,
and now leads j. G. Haynes, the demo-
clerical errors are responsible for a loss
Of forty-nine votes for Haynes, and his
followers say that if the votes we're re-
counted he would have a gain of thir-
teen votes over Jones.
In view of the narrow, margin by
which its candidate was defeated, the
democratic city committee has deter
mined to contest the election and de-
mand recount. Chairman George
Douglas told T h Journal today that
he would file notice of contest the last
of this week. While he is not certain
what will be the outcome, he feels that
it is possible that an error may have
been made which would give the place
to Haynes.
The board began work at 9 o'clock,
and the first error in the mayoralty vote
was found in the seventh precinct Of
the first ward, where the preliminary
returns gave 40 and the official al.
The next error was found in the seventh
Jones eleven votes. The preliminary re-
turns gave him 239 and the official 228.
In the ninth precinct of the same ward,
the preliminary returns gave Haynes
$50, while his credit in the official re-
turns was $50.
Another costly change was made in
the vote Of the sixth precinct of the
fourth ward, where Haynes was com
PEELED to forfeit forty votes. The pre-
liminary returns said 146, while the Of
fetal count was 1OS. An error was also
found in the eighth precinct of the sixth
ward, Haynes getting Ill instead of
ITO, as given in the preliminary re-
port.
These changes gave Haynes a gain
of two votes and a loss of forty-nine
making a net loss Of forty seven votes
Jones had a loss of eleven votes, but a
net gain of thirty-six over Haynes.
George Douglas, Mayor Haynes pri
vate secretary and chairman of the
democratic committee, explained Haynes
loss Of forty-nine votes by citing an
agreement of the canvassing board tc
abide by the written number when they
disagreed with the numerals. In the
ninth precinct of the second ward the
figures were plainly, "Haynes, 1861
but the written number was Zone hun
dred and ffty.' The board entered
Haynes vote as $50. The same erro1
was made in the sixth precinct of thu
fourth ward, the figures giving Hayne!
Jas. and the written numbers 1O9.

Of the former book has been accom-

bold-faced type, which has been a fea-
ture Of the directories issued by the
Twin City company. The length of the
book has been increased. The classified
lists of residences in both cities occu-
plying about forty pages, have been
omitted, and by reducing the space be-
tween the lines more names have been
added to the page. The result is a book
which "handles we'll and gets rid of
the bulkiness Of directory which
would necessarily have been larger than

growth which the Twin City Telephone

MAIN COURTROOM
IS DECLARED UNSAFE

Builing Inspector James G. Houghton
has condemned the main courtroom at
the courthouse. He has no authority
to enforce any orders in a county build
ing, but recommends that steps be
taken at once to make the room safe.
From time to time recently pieces
Of ornamentation in the ceiling have
fellen: This work is of plaster Of paris,
and the pieces which have fallen have
been so light and small that no atten-
tion was paid to them. On Friday last,
however, a bracket weighing probably
twenty pounds fell to the floor, dis
lance of fully forty feet. Had it land
ed on some ones head his skull would
have been crushed
Judge Elliott adjourned court until
2 'clock this afternoon in order that
an inspection might be made.
Mr.. Houghton, accompanied bv his
assistant, Andrew Lundquist, looked
the premises over this noon and agreed
that the remaining brackets should be
wired or bolted fast to their supports
in order to insure safety.

RUSSIAN TARS
FULL OF VODKA
LETTER RECEIVED HERE Elk
PLAINS ROTJEsvENsKY's BREAK
Many of the Officers and Men Were
Intoxicated and All Were "Rattled'
from the Fact that Some of the Fleet
Had Gone Aground-Fired on Each
Other.

Horrible in detail and appalling in
it's disclosure of incompetency, stupid
ity and drunkenness in the Russian
navy is the account of the recent. sink
ing Of the English fshingboats by the
Baltic fleet, received indirectly from an
inside source by A. r. T. Dent Of the
Minneapolis Chamber of Commerce.
When the Russian fleet reached Cher
bourg, young lieutenant wrote let
ter to his father, a wealthy st. Peters
burg merchant, describing the affair.
This was shown to the Russian CORE
spondent of the Manchester England
Guardian, who sent a literal transla-
tion to his paper. The Guardian print
ed it, but first eliminated such details
A friend of Mr.. Dent saw the original
translation and sent the gist Of it to
him in a letter received today. From
the letter there can be little doubt that
the men of the Baltic fleet were drunk
and scarcely knew what they were
about: The letter reads as follows:
we knew we. We're out OF our
course and were afraid we would run
aground somewhere. Of the crews,
say, were intoxicated. An alarm was
given that the admiral's flagship had
grounded, and in the confusion that
Followed this report, three vessels of
the rear squadron collided. While all
was confusion we came across what
looked like a fotilla of torpedoboats,
and we opened fire. Later in the night
there was an exchange Of shots be-
tween our vessel and another, and it
was only when we recognized from a
small shell that came aboard but did
not explode, that the ammunition was
Russian, that we discovered that we
had been firing upon one another. We
had several men wounded. At Cher
bourg they told us we had sunk Eng
lish fishingboats and killed many. It
is a horrible business, a most unfor-
tunate affair."

HIGHS READY TO
END THE SEASON
North and Central to Meet for the
Championship at Northrop
Field.

High school football will complete the season
with a spectacular end next Saturday at North
rop field when the strong North Side team will
meet the spasmodically brilliant Central team.
To add to the interest of the day, the Northwes-
tern game at Chicago will be bulletined.
Wiseacres who try to predict the outcome Of
the game at loss to defend their guesses.
Everyone realizes that 1t will be one of the best
Of the high school games, Central has proven
the strength Of the team in the games with St.
Paul Central and Duluth high school. North
high has played a strong, consistent game with
the exception Of the continued fumbling in the
Pillsbury game. If Central hold the ball
they will find weak spots in the North Side
line. and If North fumbles punts. they will find
the speedy Central ends on the ball every
time.
North highs stands on their 5-yard line and
again on their syard line in the Pillsbury game
the features of the year. Whether Pills
burys victory gives them the state championship
is matter Of dispute. The high schools do not
see how academy comes In for high school
honors, especially as a professor and a coach
were in the Pillsbury lineup. If North Side
wins the Central game. the school should be
accorded the state high school championship.
