ROBBED AT HER DOORSTEP
MRS. GEORGE OSLAND THE LAT
EST VICTIM OF THE PURSE
SNATCHER.

Mrs. George Osland, Of 1910 Eigh.
teenth street east, is the fourth known
victim of the daring purse snatcher who
has been operating along Seventeenth
and Eighteenth streets below Chicago
avenue for several nights. AS she was
returning home from marketing Satur-
day evening, a young man jumped at
her from behind porch, grabbed her
by the arm and jerking the purse out of
her hand ran down an alley. The rob-
berry occurred at the identical place
where Miss Ida Ebert was robbed on
the evening previous, and like Miss
Ebert, Mrs. Osland was. not more than
twenty feet away from home when the
thief attacked her.
Mrs. Osland was considerably upset
by her experience and the neighborhood
was aroused. Last evening men armed
with various weapons kept a sharp look
out for the daring thief, but he
was not working. last night, at
least not in that vicinity. It is learned
that on Friday evening, a young woman
was followed by a young man of. suspi
cious appearance, whose description
answers to that Of the much-talked Of
thief. She took refuge on porch anc
the man fled, when he discovered that
he was suspected.

BOUQUETS THROWN
Minnesota State Fair Commission Com
plimented for It's Work.

Directors of the Commercial club, by
formal vote, have extended congratu-
lations to the Minnesota world s fair
commission and to Superintendent G. s.
Mitchell upon the success of their work.
Appreciation of the services of Miss
s. E. Sirwell, superintendent of the
educational exhibit, whose artistic tai
ent, untiring labor and intelligent pre-
sentation Of the exhibit contributed in
large measure to the gratifying re-
suits, was expressed in the same reso-
luton.
This action was taken by the direct
ors because of the remarkable success
Of the Minnesota educational exhibit at
the Louisiana Purchase exposition, in
securing the grand prize, and seventeen
gold and silver medals in competition
with the world.
"The signal success attained thru this
exhibition of the work Of the school
choldren Of the state,' reads the pre-
AMPLE, els not only gratifying to gu our
pride as residents, but will give to Min
nesota most favorable publicity among
the educated people Of the world.'

PROPER LIGHT ON UNIONS
Leader Says They Are Formed Prima-
rily to Help Unfortunates.

"The most Of the work Of labor
unions does not consist in fighting en-
ployers,' said Thomas Neale Of Chicago
international treasurer off the carpen-
terday, "but in caring for the sick and
disabled members. In the last two
years T have paid out $S0.25 an hour for
sick and disability benefits as compared
with $75 for strike benefits. This shows
that the union spends much more money
in fraternal way than in quarreling
with the employers Of it's labor.
"We are willing to arbitrate any
question save that of the open shop"
declared Mr.. Neale. "That question
is a matter of principle with us and we
will not consent to being associated
non-union man as being too selfish to CO:
operate with his fe11ow-workers fol-
whatever can be gained for all. The
question is too vital to be arbitrated.' .

FAIL TO FIND BAIL
Chineses Prisoners Must Stay in Jail
Pending Further Action.

All efforts of the four Cinnamon.
charged with serious crimes against
young girls. to get bail have thus far
been fruitless and the grand jury will
probably dispose of the case before
bonds can be secured. At first it was
thought that Moy S. James, said to be
the wealthiest of the four, would have
no difficulty in getting the required
amount. It now appears that he and
the others have recently spent a large
amount of money to improve their. res
taurants and the cash will not be forth
coming: The other celestials are slow
thinking such an investment would be a
total loss.
Every Chinese restaurant and apart
ment known to the police has been
searched since the arrest last, Friday
but no additional evidence of further
traffic has been brought to light. The
men under arrest have intimated. that
the practice has been carried on in all
Of such restaurants, but there were no
signs of it Saturday and Sunday. If
the other places are implicated there
has been general cessation until the
activity Of the detectives is stopped.

TROUBLE AT THE HOME
Old Soldiers Opposed to Operations, Of
Lind Apportionment Plan.

Certain members of the Soldiers
home threaten revolt and resignation
Wednesday, when the payment of the
quarterly pension is to be made under
the terms Of the Lind amendment to the
sundry apportionment act Of the last
congress. The old soldiers are incensed
at having to make an application for a
fixed sum when they wish to draw
money.
The managers and executive board
hope that trouble will be averted, as the
law is thought to be the best that can
be framed to meet the circumstances
allowing the soldiers to have money
when they need it and at the same time
preserving discipline in the home.

CORRESPONDENT ERRS
Says Minneapolis Has Failed to Assist
Waconia Storm Sufferers.

"The Waconia relief committee had
received up, to last Thursday about
$4,000 for the tornado sufferers. The
Minneapolis committee had not been
heard from. A pretty slow. town is
Minneapolis in matters of this sort.'
Thus writes the ohaska correspondent
of country paper.
Wallace G. Nye,. secretary, Of the
public affairs committee of the Com
mercial Club, said today: "The article
seems hardly justified in, view Of the
fact that the first relief received at
Waconia came from business firms of
Minneapolis and that of the $4,000, re-
ceipt Of which is mentioned in the para
graph, one-quarter came from this city.
1.-THE local committee now has about
$500, which will be forwarded soon."
Mrs. Rankin Of Waconia called on
Mayor James. o. Haynes this morning
to present the ,situationat, Waconia.
The task of caring for eighteen desti-
tute families to too big for Waconia.
Mayor Haynes promised a contribu;
ton from his emergency fund and will

Blew's partner, convinced the. court
and he was simply drawn into it under

that Blew's sentence be cut down to
four years, just what Armstrong was
