LIKE MORMON
TABERNACLE.
PLANS TO EMBODY
IDEAS OBTAINED THERE.
w. f.. Bechtel, President of N. w. Ma
tional Life Company, and A. b.
Chamberlin, Architect, Return from
an Idea Gathering Tour. Mr.. Bech-
tel Pleased with Progress Here.

w. F. Bechtel, president of the
Northwestern National Life Insurance
company, and A. B. Chamberlin of
Bertrand & Chamberlin, the compa-
ny's architects, returned this morning
from western inspection trip lasting
nearly three weeks, in search of ideas
for the auditorium which the COM
apolis under certain conditions. Mr..
Bechtel, who will give $4,000 toward
a pipe organ for the auditorium, was
also Investigating instruments built by
a Los Angeles company which Is to
install the great organ for the st.
Louis exposition. 1t is. possible an
eastern trip will be taken also.
Of all the auditoriums inspected in
the west, the Mormon tabernacle at
Salt Lake was the most fruitful in
ideas for a Minneapolis music hall.
None other showed such combina-
ton of wonderful acoustic effects and
qualities which go to make a perfect
auditorium. Mr.. Chamberlin made a
careful examination of the hall and it
is likely that many Of it's features,
such as the dome, ceiling and rounded
sound, will be reproduced in Mime
apolis.
The auditorium under construction
in Omaha was inspected first. The
expense Is met by popular subscrip-
tons. The building will cost $250,000.
is 100 by 270 feet and will seat 10000.
At Palo Alto the great chapel of the
Stanford university, with it's magnifi-
cent organ, made at Los Angeles, was
examined.
Mr.. Bechtel and Mr.. Chamberlain
were allowed to attend the Thursday
rehearsal for the Sunday choral SER
vice at the Salt Lake tabernacle. The
great organ, built by the Mormons
accompanied a chorus of 400 voices
The laundering tones of the great or.
gan fairly shook the place, while the
faintest breathings of the great in
strument could be heard at all points
Altho only a rehearsal, the music was
very impressive. The tabernacle seats
$4,000, while the Minneapolis audi.
forum will be built for 5000. Yet
the same effects can be produced with
a reduction in size.
Mr.. Bechtel was much pleased or
his return to find the rapid progress:
made by the different organization:
interested toward the accomplishment
of the music hall project.

W. Il. EUSTIS
STILL IN DOUBT
DOESN'T SAY WHETHER HETI.
ENTER POLITICAL RACE.
Arrives at Washington on His Way
Home from the South-Says For
mer Alderman Sutherland Is Not
Coming Back to Minneapolis.

From The Journal Bureau, Colorado Building,
Washington.
Washington, March 17.-Former
Mayor William Henry Eustis has been
in Washington from his winter tour
in southern waters and is on his way
to Minneapolis. He has had de-
lightful time. He is twenty pounds
lighter than before he went away, but
is in perfect health, and his face is
as brown as a berry. - 80 80.
He spent some time on the Isles
of-Pines, where, he met Former
Alderman O.. P. Sutherland, Who,
contrary to the popular impression,
is not thinking of returning to the
states He told Mr.. Eustis definitely
that he was not coming back for a
long time. DR.. Sutherland is in bust
ness and apparently prosperous.
While he was away, Mr.. Eust1s says
the mercury was not lower than 70
nor was it over 80. He lost his over
coat somehow, having no use for it.,
and has had to buy another one here.
Mr.. Eustis Is taking interest in
Minnesota republican politics, but as
far as can be ascertained here, has no
idea of entering the gubernatoriai
contest. or the contest for congress.

Scheme to Make Risks in
Cities Uniform.

New York Sun Special Service.
New York, March 17.-Representa-
tives of: twenty-five insurance COM
panies have agreed upon combina-
ton by which they expect to fix the
rates on the same class Of risks in all
cities and bring about uniform legisla-
ton in all states.
According to one insurance man
present at the conference the dream
of all insurance men for years is about
to be realized. Had we gotten to-
gether long ago. said one, 1--WE would
not now be seeing an average ash heap
of s150,000,000.. every year in this
country"
C. A. Hexamer Of the Philadelphia
board of underwriters, who is familiar
with the plan, said: THE combina-
ton is in no sense trust. It might
be likened to a combination of rail-
roads to have civil engineering thru
BODY and all improvements unon a a
uniform plan."

.JNO. LIND PLAYS
SAINT WITH SEED
Congressman Will Give 5000
Packets to Minneapolis
School Children.

y Z 81 = i . q 4,
Five thousand packages of flower
seed Will be sent to the school children
OF Minneapolis by Congressman John
Lind In letter received this morn
ing by Superintendent c.. M. Jordan
from Washington 1t was stated that
the seed will be forwarded at once and
Dr..Jordan is expected to supervise the
distribution.
It appears that there are five vari-
cites of seed in each package, virtual
y making $4,000 different packages.
Even this large number will not suffice
for all the school children Of Mime
apol1s and a plan Of distribution is not
easy to arrange. It is possible that
many pupils have no inclination to
grow flowers and others have no place
for flower gardening and the demand
will thus be reduced SO as to simplify
the distribution. At any rate, each
public school will receive its just share
of government flower seeds.

BETTER SERVICE PROMISE; ID
Lake Harriet Street Cars Will Run on
81 7h-Minute Schedule. ',5...

Lake Harriet will soon enjoy the
advantages of a better street railway
service. That section tributary to the
Como-Harriet line beyond Hennepin
avenue and Thirty-first street now gets
a car every fifteen minutes, which is
neither satisfactory nor equal to the
requirements.
Alderman Frank L. Schoonmaker
after taking the matter up with Gem
eral Manager Held Of the street rail-
way company, has been assured that
a 7k-minute service will be put in
effect at once. The short line from
Thirty-first street to Fifteenth ave-
nue. Sc will be extended to Lake Har-
riet, giving that district double the
present accommodations during the
daytime. Alderman - Schoonmaker
hopes for some concession on the
night schedule, which at present is
three cars per hour after p. M.

JAMES J. HILL TALKS
Railroad President Believes Cleveland
Could Be Elected.
From The Journal Bureau, Colorado Building,

From Ihe Journel 6ufeau Colorado Building,
Washington.
Washington, March 17.-James J.
Hill, interviewed In New York, says
he thinks Cleveland should be nomi-
mated by the democrats for the pres
idency, and that, if nominated, he will
be elected.
This recalls to the minds Of numer-
Gus people in Washington the fact that
the three democrats on the supreme
bench last Monday voted to declare
the antitrust law unconstitutional.
These three democrats were placed
on the bench by Cleveland when pres
ident. During the next four years
there probably will be several more
vacancies in that august body and
no doubt Mr.. Hill is very sincere when
he says he would like to see Cleve-
land nominated again this year and
elected.
It will make big difference to the
supreme court and the general public
whether Cleveland or Roosevelt fills
the prospective supreme court vacan-
cies.

SINGER NOT GUILTY
Mrs. Wittig Loses Her Suit Against
the Dewey Theater.

Judge Dickinson this morning rem
dered his decision in the case of the
state against the Dewey theater, find
ing Mort H. Singer not guilty of a.
violation of the theater ordinance.
The case was brought on the COM
plant of Mrs. Emma Wittig, who all
legged that the Dewey was being run
in violation of section of, the theater
ordinance, which provides that no
concerts nor vaudeville performances
shall be given in building where
liquor is sold.
Judge Dickinson held that the
Dewey could not be classed under Sec
ton 5, which regulates only entertain
ments and performances paying a
daily license, while the Dewey is a
regularly licensed theater under sec
ton 2 Of the ordinance, and it's license
protects all performances given there.

st. Pau AIdermen DON'T Want a Lumber
Yard Near Capitol.
4 st. Paul's board of aldermen last even
ing passed an ordinance prohibiting the
establishment of wood or lumber yard
within $50 feet Of a dwelling house. The
ordinance is aimed directly at the John
son Lumber company Of Minneapolis,
which wants to open lumber yard at
Cedar street and Summit avenue, across
the street from the new marble capitol.
The yard would not only make an I'M
slightly place, but would depreciate the
value of property. Alderman Dahlquist,
who opposed the ordinance, declared that
the owners of property near the capitol
should not be deprived Of opportunities Of
deriving some profit therefrom, nor should
the capitol drive. away industries.
