SAYS Lind BILLS
UNFAIR TO MINI.
SOLDIERS HOME PRESIDENT
POINTS OUT WEAK SPOTS.
Would Affect the Minnesota Home
MIR. Lind in Error in His State
ments Supporting the Measure.

S. H. fowler, Of this city, president
Of the board of trustees Of the Mime
sofa soldiers home, takes exception to
statements made by Congressman Lind
IN support of his amendment. with
holding government aid from all state
homes which retain any part Of the
inmates pension money.
Mr.. fowler has written to the Min
neapolis congressman, sending copies
of the letter to the other Minnesota
congressman and to Messrs. Hemen-
way, Crumpacker and Gardner who
took part in the debate. He says that
after reading Mr.. Lind's speech as re-
ported in the Congressional Record,
he finds 1t necessary to call attention
TO some exceedingly erroneous state
ments, and to vindicate the good name
of the state of Minnesota
First. Mr.. fowler corrects the state
ment that the government is the
largest contributor" to the support of
the home; Exclusive Of buildings and
tenance Of the home during the 1--WE
years ending July 81, 1908, the sum Of
Sl47 900. The government contrib
uted $99,979.28. In the same period
the state spent on dependent soldiers
outside Of the home, on widows, or
1904. This made total Of Sis
1904 spent by the state. The state
withheld from the pensions of in
mates, for support of the home, s63,-
1927. Adding the governments d.
rect contribution and the amount re-
ceived in pensions, the state still ex-
S2b2,O38.S9, and the state furnished
and maintained the buildings, spend
ing over $4,000 for that purpose.
Mr.. fowler also corrects the state
pension Of the inmates is taken from
them In the past three years the
figures show $52,4S9.8s paid to the
pensioners in the home, and $42,-
743.67 retained from pensions for the
support Of the home. But this latter
wives and children of men in the
home. "a.
In his letter the president of the
Minnesota board also protests against
the proviso adopted in committee of
the whole which limits aid so that it
snail not apply ito any state or terri
torlal home into which the wives or
widows Of soldiers are admitted or
maintained" AS Minnesota spent
$26S,150.34 in the last five years for
soldiers and their families, Mr. fowler
maintains that it Is unjust to exclude
this state.
objection is further raised to the
proviso permitting inmates to d.
rect the payment Of their pensions
to dependent wives, children or par
ents. This provision, Mr.. fowler says,
should be made mandatory, as very
few Of the married men in the home
seem to feel solicitude for their famf-
lies. Many veterans have deserted
families in this state and gone to live
In national homes, leaving the Mime
sofa board to maintain their families.
Many poor women" Mr.. fowler
says. ARE deferred from making ap-
plicatfon for one-half of their ahus-
bands pension by threats and intimi-
dation.' ....

SMALLPOX In SOUTH TOWN
SUDDEN SPREAD OF DISEASE rs
DUE TO PRESENCE OF PA.
TENTS AT TWO FUNERALS.

Seventeen cases Of smallpox have
been discovered in South Minneapolis
In the past two days by the health
officials. DR.. Hall admits that the
situation is alarming from the fact
that these seventeen patients have
been associating freely with other peo-
pie for weeks past
The history of the epidemic can
not be traced very far, altho two fu-
nerals held on Easter Sunday were
the most potent cause in spreading
the epidemic. J. G.. Posten of 2121
Sixteenth avenue S had smallpox, but
not knowing the nature Of his illness,
attended the funeral Of Charles H.
Woodward, from the home of his
daughter, Mrs. Nelson, 2541 Seven
teenth avenue S. Where Mr.. Posten
caught smallpox he does not know.
The funeral Of J. H. Lockwood was
held the same day from 1854 Twenty
seventh avenue S. 1t was attended
by members Of the family of George
Smart, 242S Twenty-fifth avenue s.,
one Of whom had just recovered from
what was supposed to be measles. A
few days after the funeral three cases
of smallpox appeared in the house in
which the funeral was held, and three
cases appeared in the homes of rela-
tives who attended the funeral Two
other members of the Smart family
were stricken, and DR.. Hall suspects
that the case Of measles was really a
mild form Of smallpox. All the cases
have been very light.
The health officials have been UNI
able to obtain more than the names
Of a few of those who were present
at the two funerals. Hence it would
be very wise for any person who at
tended the Woodward or Lockwood
funerals or have associated with the
Posten, Lockwood or Smart families
to report the fact to the health de-
partment at once.

QUEST FOR AN ESTATE
Echo Of Chicago Fire Heard in St.

Echo Of Chicago Fire Heard. In ST.,
Paul.
An echo Of the Chicago fire was heard
in st. Paul yesterday when a Miss Sperry
of Minneapolis. applied at the office Of P.
E. Hanson, secretary Of state. for evil
dence to aid her in search for an estate
of $4,000. The young woman says that
a man she believes to have been her father
recently died in Chicago leaving $75, 900 to
adopted children. Her father, she said,
had evidently thought his family was
burned in the Chicago fire In 1871, when
in fact they had escaped and moved to
Dodge county, Minnesota, and had always
been under the impression that the father
had lost his life in the great conhagration
There was no evidence in the office Of the
secretary Of state which would aid the
young woman In her quest for fortune.

Returning TO Work
Packers Appear to be Winning out
Little Violence

Chicago, Aug. This was a
busy day with the packers. With
increased forces Of skilled workers
and their operating departments
more thoroughly equipped than at
any time since the beginning of
the strike, the employers took a
firm grip on the machinery OF their
affairs and as a result the stock
yards took on the old hum of ac-
tivity to a great extent. Over Is,
600 head of live stock was received
here today. This is an increase OF
5000 head over the receips on the
corresponding day last week. Such
an enormous amount of live stock
would under normal conditions
have had a depressing effect OH the
market, and today, when the train
loads of animals began to pour into
the yards, stockmen and traders
feared a panic but it did not occur.
Today was feer from violence
than any since the strike began.
There were several disturbances
during the day, but the police ex-
perienced little difficulty in restor-
ing order. The crowds usually
seen at the entrances to the yard.
were ITO longer in evidence and wa
gons carrying meat passed through
the streets unmolested. When the
strike breakers left the plants to
night trouble was expected by The
police but for the first time in The
history of the strike they were dis
appointed, not a single attack up
on the non-union men being made
Saloon fights between the uniof
and non-union men were more FIRE
quent today. During these quar-
rels one man was shot and another
was injured but neither was ser
iously hurt.

today, pure, white light and plenty
