WILL FORCE FIGHT
FOR Scent FARE
Labor Unions VIII Take lnitia.
tive by Demanding Passage
Of an Ordinance.

The financial statement of the Twin
City Rapid Transit company, showing
that it has earned almost $1O1, 600 more
during the present year than it did
during the same period last year, and
that therefore it will be a quarter of a
million dollars better off in 1904 than in
1903, has aroused the labor union peo-
PIE to the extent that the Trades and
Labor assembly will endeavor to Sc
cure a reduction of street car fare.
1t has apparently been decided that
j. L. Gieske will lead the fight against
the street railway company for the
labor unions and will probably be at
the head of the committee that will
demand that the city council pass an
ordinance reducing the fare from 5
cents to cents. There is no DISPOSE
ton upon the part of those behind the
movement favoring a reduction in the
fare to wait until the case against the
street railway company, instituted by
corporation Attorney Michael, has been
settled in the courts, but there is an
evident purpose to find some mannerin
which the issue can be forced, and. if
necessary, the question made an issue
ii.
OF the prospects Mr.. Gieske said
labor Unions Determined.
While / am but one member of the
trades and Labor assembly there is a
disposition to force the street railway
company to recognize, at the earliest
possible moment, that the labor unions
OF the city are earnestly in favor of a
reduction in the fare from cents to 8
cents, and that once the issue has been
taken up there is little prospect of its
pelng neglected until it is determined.
It makes no difference who is selected
TO lead the fight, it will be made an is
sue in the campaign until the company
is compelled to grant the demands Of
the people. Upon several occasions
heretofore the unions have acted in
favor of a reduction in the fares. and
thls is apparently the first time that
they have had real opportunity to be
successful. Knowing the temper of the
union men | do not believe that they
Will stop the agitation until they have
been successful
Mr.. Gieske has been asked by those
who first interested themselves in the
agitation to take the lead, but he has
requested that some other person do so.
Ii there is no one willing to take the
responsibility he is willing to assume
the leadership on the issue.

GRAND JURY WILL
PROBE SOME MORE
Resumes Its investigation To.
day, and Will Give Ministers
Chance to Testify.


When the grand jury meets this
afternoon to resume it's investigation
of crime and wrong doing the work
VIII be taken up along new lines, the
announcement having been made that
the searchlight is to be turned upon
alleged protected immortality and graft
in St. Paul.
An interesting session of the jury
can at least be expected when it is
known that subpoenas have been is
sued for Rev. John M. Fulton. Of the
Central Presbyterian church; Rev. w.
| II. w. Boyle, of the House of Hope;
chief Of Police John J. O'Connor, for
mer City Detective George Wells, and
others All of these witnesses have
peen summoned by the grand jury,
and are expected to appear this after
noon and answer any questions that
may be put to them regarding the
morals of the city
The investigation is said to be the
indirect result of pre- election state
ments made by pastors from their pull
pits, in which charges were made that
system of graft existed in ST. Paul,
and one of the pastors, at least, is said
to have made the statement that he
could name the men identified with
the graft.
Fulton's Evidence Indefinite.
Some days ago the grand jury sum-
moned DR.. Fulton and asked him to
tell what he knew regarding his state
ments of graft, but his evidence is
said to have been of such an uncertain
character that it would have been i'm
possible to return indictments upon
its strength alone. The failure of the
grand jury to find indictments is said
to have prompted certain statements
by DR.. Fulton since his former appear
ance before the grand jury, the min
lister having declared from his pulpit
that the grand jury was not sincere in
It's investigation, and that members
of the body were friends of the adj
ministration.' These statements the
members of the grand jury were for
hidden by law to reply to, but at a
short session held last week 1t was
unanimously agreed to give Rev. Mr..
Fulton just as full hearing as he de-
sires, and a new subpoena was Or
dered issued for him.
Later the jury is said to have decid-
ed to make the investigation a most
thorough one, and every person known
to possess any information that will
be of benefit will be required to APP
pear before the body and divulge DR..
Fulton and DR.. Boyle are each to be
granted an opportunity to tell every
thing they know regarding graft, and
so is former Detective George Wells,
who is named as the person who fur
nlshed the miniSterssmuch of their in
formation during the city election.
Wells was at that time in the employ
of the Republican campaign commit
tee, and the information is said to have
been furnished for political effect.
The grand jury will meet at o'clock
this afternoon and the investigation
along the new lines, it is understood,
will be made a special order of BUSH
ness.

FEES ARE INVOLVED
Clerks of Court interested in
Appealed Case.

A case of much Importance to the
clerks of court of Minnesota will be
argued before the supreme court to-
day, for it involves the question of
fees to be charged by the clerks in
certain cases.
The case at bar is brought before
the court on appeal from the, district
court of Todd county, which had de-
clded adversely to the contention rails
ed by Van Dyke & Van Dyke, alb
sracters of Long Prairie, that M. O.
Skow, clerk of the court, was COM
PEELED by statute to furnish transcripts
of judgments for the abstracting firm
TO be later used in their abstract books.
The abstracters demanded the tran
scripts for use in their books. and
the district court ruled that when the
purpose was obvious that the clerk
was not required by law to make the
transcript as requested. Van Dyke &.
Van Dyke have appealed from the or
der of Judges d. B. Searle and L. l..
Baxter in the case, denying their mo-
ton for relief and arguments are to
be heard today by the supreme court.
A reversal by the supreme court would
have serious effect upon the fee bill
of clerks of court of every county in
the state.

RARE DAYS IN JUNE
Past Records Indicate That
They May Be Expected.

If June lives up to it's past reputation
this year the coming month will be one
of the most agreeable of the entire
year. According to the report of the
weather bureau issued yesterday for
the past thirty three years the sixth
month has. on the average, been ideal.
But there have been notable excep-
lions, when it has become unbearably
hot and occasionally it has been too
cool for comfort.
The normal temperature in June for
the thirty three years during which
records have been kept is 81 degrees.
The hottest month was in 1873. when
the average temperature was 73 de-
grees, while the coolest June was in
1875, with a record OF So. The coolest
day was in 1885, on the 18th, when the
mercury fell to SO degrees, while in
1901, on the 25th day of the month, a
record of SO was established
But during June there are likely to
be many heavy showers, for the wealth
er departments reports show that the
average precipitation has been 4.S3
inches. The frequency of the rains is
demonstrated, for during the month
there has been an average of eleven
days each year when the rainfall has
exceeded .01 of an inch.
However, there have been dry Junes,
too, for in 1903 only 1.16 inches fell
during the thirty days The greatest
record was in June, 1874, when the
precipitation was 11.67. In 1873, on
the 22d and 23d days, ass inches of
rain fell in twentyfour hours, estab-
fishing a record for precipitation that
has since remained unequaled.
If this June is not an exception to
the average sixth month the prevailing
winds will be gentle southeastern
zephyrs, with an average velocity of
IA miles an hour.

Harry Silberberg, reputed to be the
cleverest sharper and trickster in the
world, has been heard from again, the
second time since he put up cash
bond of $1,000 for his release from the
Minneapolis Jail last fall
This time it is from the worlds fair
city that word comes of the clever
swindler, the young man with so many
aristocratic aliases, being compelled to
leave st. Louis by the police of that
city when he was identified as the re-
nowned swindler and fakir. When Sill
berberg's identity was discovered by
the sleuths of the worlds fair city he
was stopping at the Southern hotel,
where he lived in style When taken to
the police station and searched roll
containing some 5000 was found in his
possession.
Silberberg had registered under a
new name and was playing the part of
the well-to-do young man when dis
covered. He Indignantly denied that he
was the clever swindler whose auda-
clous acts have astonished the people
on both sides of the globe, but when
closely questioned and confronted by
persons who knew him, Silberberg
laughingly confessed and agreed to
leave the city
So far as is known Silberberg had
not done any work in ST. Louis. but
the mere fact that he was in the citv
aroused the suspicious of the detectives
acquainted with his history, and he
was requested to leave the town.
Minneapolis Remembers Man.
Silberberg's recent experiences in
minneapolis are still quite fresh in the
minds of people in the Twin Cities.
AFTER his marriage to Miss Bonnie
Hlnkle, the stepdaughter of M. ]. Scan
Ion wealthy lumberman, he was ar
rested upon charge of swindling. pre-
1erred by young Minneapolis woman
who had been induced to loan him
money for fake enterprise.
For several weeks after his arrest.
SlIberberg was compelled TO spend his
time in the Hennepin county jail. where
ne developed a cOnsumptiVe cough of
suft1cient proportions to secure for him
self cot in the hospital. He was in
dlcted by the grand jury, but before
his case came up for trial brother ar
rived from Denver and furnished ST.
900 cash bail for his release. Silber-
berg, upon securing his liberty. left for
Colorado, ostensibly for his health.

Plckpockets, who evidently knew
their business, made a rich haul when
they secured J. Arthur Danforth,s
pocketbook Sunday evening. Danforth
was business manager of the senior
class play, and he had the greater part
of the receipts for both matinee and
evening performances with him. The
exact amount was sS5375, and it all

fortunately, however, only about
