THE NORTHWEST

TIES WE'RE ADOPTED.
Congressman Stevens Points Out Dam
gers OF Scheme Proposed by East
ern Shippers to Aid Merchant Ma
rine-Urges Twin City Business
Men to Argue Before Commission.

Acting on the suggestion mStde by
Congressman r. G.. Stevens before the
ST. Paul Chamber of Commerce yes
terday, the commercial bodies of the
twin cities will make arguments be-
fore the merchant marine commission
In the interest of the northwest. The
executive committee of the st. Paul
body will make arrangements with
the Minneapolis organization for pre-
senting these arguments next week
when the commission will be here.
Congressman Stevens says that the
legislation sought by eastern shipping
interests to aid the merchant marine
northwest. One plan is a general
subsidy and the other discriminating
duties. The former Is out of the
question and the latter would mean
tremendous loss to the northwest.
The plan of shipping interests is to
add duties on all goods carried to our
ports in foreign vessels and to de-
duct from tee duties on goods entered
from domestic vessels.
II that plan were put into opera
tion," continued Mr.. Stevens, 1T

cial treaties, and foreign countries
would Immediately retaliate. The
northwest would suffer most because
England would make concessions to

competition impossible. Canadian
wheat and cattle would be given such
advantages in England that the prod
ucts Of the northwest would be prac-
tically shut out much to the disad-
vantage of this section of the coun-
try, for England is one of our best
customers. Foreign countries would
go further, and there is no telling
what exacttons might be placed on
American products abroad
Should the discriminating duty
plan be put in operation, reciprocity
with Canada would be entirely out Of
the question. The United States would
lose the trade of Great Britain in
wheat and cattle, which would be
given to Canada. England last year
| purchased from us 2,50O,00O bushels
Of wheat and 100000 pounds Of
meat.

Mr.. Conley said this morning: II fancy
that the people of Minnea polls are going
to be somewhat surprised at the magni

animal show which will compare favor
ably with any travelling. We have twenty
full grown lions in the collection, besides
ten cub lions that vary in age from two
weeks to two years; leopards, panthers.
hyenas and bears that all work together

are novel illusions.

SMITH WORKED
IN MINNEAPOLIS
EAU CLAIRE MURDERER PILL
LACED THOMPSON HOME.
Property Pawned by Murderer Proves
to Have Been Taken from Rest
dences in Minneapolis Detectives
Think Smith Headed Holdup Gang.

Minneapolis police officials have
positive proof that Lon Smith, the
murderer who is hunted in the
swamps near Winona by armed posses,
committed several robberies in Min
neapolis prior to the murder of Sher-
if Harris at Eau Claire The gold
watch and diamond which he pawned
there the day of the murder were
stolen from the residence of Mrs. M.
Thompson, 1896 Park avenue, on the
night of June 16.
Bert Olson, in company with Sher-
if Mcmillan, visited police headquar-
tiers yesterday and reported that
diamond ring and a gold watch, and
later pawned them himself. The list
of Minnea polis robberies was exam
ined. The Thompson case excited
their suspicious and an accurate de-
scription of the lost articles was OBJ
tanned. This proved that the ring and
watch in possession Of Sheriff McMil-
Ian belonged to Mrs. Thompson, and
later in the day she positively iden-
titled them as the articles taken from
her house on that night. The ring
was valued at 5000 and was of a, pc
culiar design, making it impossible
for her to mistake it for another.
Aside from this, several old coins
and small trinkets known to have
been in the possession of Smith were
stolen from the residence of David
Peterson, 1897 Fillmore street NE, on
the following night. Several other
robberies are charged to Smith and a
tI1oro investigation will be made, tho
there is no hope Of ever prosecuting
him on any of the charges.
Several detectives In st. Paul and
Minneapolis think that Smith was the
| leader of the gang Of desperadoes
which caused a reign Of terror among
| the saloonkeepers of the twin cities
| a few weeks ago.

Men in the Fizz Factories Working
Day and Night to Provide Young
America with Adequate Means Of
Celebrating Esde Fort"

These are busy times in the fac
tories where hundreds Of workmen
are gathering together tremendous
noises and concentrating them into
convenient form for those who want
to "whoop 'er up" on the glorious
Fourth. Night and day these men are
working, turning out millions of
of candles, rockets and pinwheels.
There is no indication that the cam
paign for silent Fourth is going to
put the fireworks man out of business
right away.
Indeed, the manufacturer of fire.
works declares that business never
was better. It has been almost inn
possible for him to keep abreast Of
his orders. so rapidly are they coming
in. And the loudest call comes from
Chicago, where the movement for a
"gum-shoe" Fourth had it's inception.
In Minneapolis the demand for noise-
makers has exhausted the carrying
capacity of the shops.
There have been several changes in
crackers and pyrotechnics. The
Chinese crackers are as popular as
ever, but there has been a radical de-
parture from their former makeup.
The old crackers were filled at the
ends with clay. The duty on crackers
being cents a pound, the result in
rioration in their oise-producing
qualities, as the importers could not
afford to purchase the best kind. This
year the crackers will be crimped at
the ends. This means much louder
crack for the same money, and, also,
the packages take up much less room.
There has been like improvement
in the fireworks. The cause, however,
is different. For some time the manu-
facturers have been at swords points,
but this year an agreement has been
reached and while the wholesale price
is slightly higher, the retail price will
be the same, and the displays will be
of much higher order. Especially
| will this be so in rockets and roman
candles.
The toy cap pistols will be as popu-
| lar as ever, but the day Of the blank
cartridge pistol and the castiron can
non seems to be over. This is a very
good sign, as most of the accidents
recorded resulted from poor work
manship in these cheap toys. Among
| the most popular. standard articles will
be the canes, which have been i'm
proved, and the 5-cent Vesuvius
sparkers and Klondike mountains. A
large sale of whistling crackers is also
reported.

some of the liquid, which took fire and ran
over the machine. He was enveloped in
flames. and, being partially paralyzed, was
almost helpless. Mr.. Ferris was standing
across the street, and Immediately ran to
Conly's aid. He carried him out of danger,
and then with rubber blanket smothered
