NEW RIFLE RANGE
MAY Be DEAD ONE
AWARDS FOR PROPERTY EXCEED
u Il. FUNDS.
Already the Appropriation Is $4,000
Behind. the Awards, with More Ap-
peals Comm Fort Smelling En-
largement Plans will Be Seriously
Crippled without the Range.

After spending several months in de-
termining the awards for the property
condemned for the Fort Smelling rifle
range, the commissioners find that their
work is likely to be of no avail, and
that the rife-range plan Is. dead. The
decision reached by the jury in the
case Of Nicholas Kohn and Peter HUI
Der against the United States govern
ment, which awarded the plaintiff $4,000
more than the amount decided upon by
the commissioners, practically means
this. They were granted $24 900 by the
jury instead Of $4,000. As there is
one more appeal for an increase that
has not been brought to court, the OK
cess over the government appropria-
tion may be still more increased. It
is not thought that an increase will
be made in the appropria tions and I'M
less some other means Of raising the
money is devised,I the Fort Smelling
rifle range is an impossibility.
When the awards were first an
nounced the appraisers exceeded the ap-
preparation by $780,; but it was un:
derstood that the Commercial club would
raise the sum. Now that the deficit is
several times this amount, the CONNER
cial Club is not likely to take up the
matter.

A premonition of death came to the
woman who was hurled to death with
B. M. Scammon in st. Paul, yesterday,
by the breaking of fire escape with
which he was descending from St.Paul
office building. ! ...,..s.
Of the tragedy died within two hours Of
the accident that a domestic tragedy
was involved in the affair. It is al
legged that the woman with whom Scam
mon had been living as his wife at Lyn-
dale and Sixth avenue N, was in reality
that her husband is still living. .-
Paul yesterday morning on an inter-
urban car. The attention of a passen-
ger who sat Immediately behind them
was attracted by the remark quoted
above.

ford to lead if the fire escape should
make hit.
be nice to have new gloves and some
better clothes, but I can't help feeling
that something is going to happen.'
Nonsense, the rope has been tested
for double the weight; it's all right,
retorted Scammon.
At the St. Paul morgue the woman s
statement of her preparations for the
tragedy. were verified. Her clothing,
tho plain, was spotlessly neat and she
had literally prepared herself for burial
The fact that Scammon had planned
to take the woman down on the fire es-
cape with him was not generally known.
He had planned this feature as dra-
matte and convincing surprise for the
spectators.
Only a few hours before the fatal
descent Scammon was served with formal
notice that his device was an infringe
ment of another escape patented by a
Minneapolis man. It seems that Scam
mon had been employed about six weeks
ago to demonstrate the original device,
and soon after he came out with al
most an exact reproduction of the es-
cape, claiming it as his own invention.
The accident was due wholly to the
man s carelessness in not protecting the
rope where it ran over the stone win
dow ledge.
Scammon was a carpenter and sign
painter and spent his winters in trap
ping in the woods. He came from Eau
Claire, Wis.

WOMAN'S CHANGE
TO EARN A LYING
GENERAL CONDITIONS NOT VERY
FAVORABLE IN MINNESOTA
According to State Labor Commission
er O'Donnell, Average Wages to
Females Are Below Cost of Living
Employment of Women in Slaughter
Houses Sharply Condemned.

1 A comprehensive report on female
labor in the state Of Minnesota has just
been issued by State Labor Commits
sioner O'Donnell, in which points for
rather sharp criticism are given: Most
serious, perhaps, is that matter of
the amount required for living. In
Minneapolis the average wage lies be
tween $5.25 and $3.50, while in st. Paul
it Is less; the majority Of factory girls
do not get over $3.50 week and are
obliged to depend in part on others for
support The .Mahala Fisk Pillsbury
home and the Woman 8 boardinghome
in Minneapolis, which furnish good,
wholesome e. Lying l f for ro working women
approved, and the need Of other similar
homes is pointed out, as the combined
accommodations Of the two is only l3O.
In Minneapolis there are 1000 girls
employed in the different department.
stores, factories, laundries, mills and
millinery stores, in this city, $500 OF
ape wage is little above Sc a week,
not including the heads Of the depart
ments, who get from SIG to $50 a
week.
The practice Of employing women and
children in the slaughter houses is
severely condemned, The report took
performed only by adult males. Fifty
per cent of ths .packinghouse female
prefer the revolving work, which pays
on an average thru the year only SIS
to domestic service, because it leaves
their, evenings free.
The department store employees are
not drawn from the servant class. An
employer interviewed threw the blame
for the nervous strain in the stores that
makes such employment hard. on women
shoppers and the inspectors Eobserva-
tions confirmed this view. .s.z

Huron, Mich, one of the passengers
Of the Inflated steamer General Slo-
cum. Baker died since the disaster
from his injuries.
Before his death Baker told his niece,
Miss Frances Baker Of Detroit, that,
while the steamer was ablaze, he took
some valuable papers from his pockets,
placed them in tin box and threw
them into the river, hoping some person
might pick up the receptacle and re-
turn it.
The papers are Of great value to the
Baker family and a few days ago Miss
Frances came to New York to make
a search for them. Miss Baker, who
is an expert swimmer, said she would
don a suit of diving clothes and go
down herself with the professional
divers.

present this afternoon at a conference
Of women called to consider means Of
dealing more effectively with conditions
shown to exist thru the exposure of the
