MORE GASOLINE
LIGHTS LIKELY
ALDERMEN DISCUSS THEIR
EARLY EXTENSION.
Mr.. Schoonmalxer of the Thirteenth
Ward Thinks 1t Is Time Certain
Parts of the City Had Modern
Lights-Compares Price With That
Of Gas

Aldermen are discussing with inter-
est a proposal to enlarge the gasolene
lighted districts. While no import
ant extensions can be made this year
because the street lighting fund will
doubtless be taxed to it's limit, there
greatly increase the popularity of gas
olene street lights. 1t is proposed to
select gasolene street and light 1t
with incandescent devices and with
the lights as close together as in the
gas lighted streets.
Down in ST. Paul." says Alderman
F. L. Schoonmaker, II can't tell the
gasolene lamp, when both are
equipped with the incandescent de-
vices, unless look at the poles. There
are many streets in the thickly settled
parts of Minneapolis now lighted in
the most primitive fashion with one
little gasolene lamp to the block,
| while near at hand will be a brilliantly
lighted street on which the improves
ments are not a great deal better.
Probably many Of these streets being
cross streets will never have gas
| lights, but the residents considering
their taxes are certainly entitled to
much better lighting than they are re-
ceiving. And then in the outlying dis
1 tricts there is a. demand for better
street illumination, which the gas
company will not be able to supply for
some time. GaSOlene solves both
these problems. The city will soon
have between 500 and 400 incandescent
lamps adapted to the use of gasolene.
I am in favor of making q beginning
at undermining our gasolene light
ing.
"The question is an important one
for our gas lamps cost us $23 each a
year and the gasolene about $12 q
year. The incandescent attachment
will probably increase the expense
somewhat, but even if the expense
goes as high as SIS, which is unlikely
it still beats gas in price and with the
attachment gives as good a light"

NEEDED WORK, 50
MISSTATED AGE
PTTIFUL STORY BACK OF JULIA
OLSON'S DISAPPEARANCE.
She Was Told She Had Violated the
Child Labor Law, and Thinking She
Had Committed a Serious Crime,
Ran Away from Home.

Driven to seek work by the need Of
her invalid parents, little Julia Olson
misstated her age. When told she
had criminally violated the child labor
law In her eagerness to secure en-
ployment, she fed from her home at
1915 Washington avenue S, Wednes-
day, and the police have been asked to
find her. The girl is, IA years old.
Julia's father has been i'll with
typhoid fever and her mother was
lately injured at her work. With no
other support in sight, the little girl
went to a department store where she
told the manager that she was 16
sition. With her wages the family
managed to get along, but only intend
ed that she should work until the
father recovered from his illness.
Mrs. Olson, the girls mother, came
| to Police Superintendent Conroy this
missing girl The mother said that
their condition was reported to the AS
ISOLATED Charities and aid was prom.
Used. Upon learning Julia's age, Mrs
Olson said, the Charities representative
at once said the child labor law hac
been violated and that her employer
must be notified. Until the family
ever, the Associated Charities, Woulc
make up for the loss of Julia's wage:
by sending groceries worth $3.50 eacf
week. These, the mother said, ha(
not been sent.
Meantime, the little girl was great!
alarmed at what she believed was he
serious crime, and that night, whel
thru work, she did not come home
nor has she been seen since.
The Associated Charities visitor VIII
had charge Of the case, this mornin|
confirmed Mrs. Olson's story as t.
the family's condition.. She said tina
the groceries promised had beel
ordered yesterday, but that thru a de
lay on the grocer's part the supple
had not been delivered until tn
morning.

STATE LABORATORIES
Capitol Commission Won't Have Them In
New Building.

Capitol Commission Won't Have Them In
New Building.
The state capitol commission has de-
cided not to allow laboratories in the new
building, as there is no provision for
special ventilating and exhaust system. 1t
will recommend separate building Tor
the purpose, to be used by the dairy and
food commission and any other depart
ments that may require laboratory
equipment. The legislature will be asked
to provide about $4,000 for that purpose.
A resolution was adopted prohibiting
workmen from smoking in the building,
except In one room during the noon hour:
Estimates of $1,000 for E. E. Garnsey and
$3.50 for r. II. Blashfield were allowed
on their contracts for mural decorations.
The injunction against this work has not
been granted. and the commission does
not think it will be. They say that thir-
teen of the sixteen men employed on this
work are Minnesotans.
The commission decided to finish the
governors rooms in hardwood instead OF
a. white and gold scheme. It Will cost
81, 900 to 5000 additional, but will be more
durable. -... 81. e-. -. .s...,.a.

WHO PAYS WATER RENT?
Question to Be Settled Before salvationlsts
Take Old City Hall.


Nothing but a dispute as to whether
the city or the Salvation Army shall pay
the water rent is saving the old city hall

thoro scrubbing it has had in its long and
eventful history.
The Salvation Army was Of the opinion
that the rent paid for the building In
Guided water service as the building was
rented directly from the city for charitable
purposes Registrar Franklin Moody Of
the waterworks department thinks such a
precedent would be q dangerous and ex-
pensive one to establish. The question
will probably be decided to-day.
In the meanwhile Brigadier W. T. Jen-

garding a superintendent for the new in
dustrial home which is to be housed In
the old building. It is proposed to secure
an experienced superintendent whose wife

STREET RAILWAY CO.'S TAX
Question Brought Up in St. Paul-TaIk OF
Gross Earnings. $50.

Question Brought Up in St. PauI-Tak of
Gross Earnings. :~'-
In order to ascertain just what rights
the Twin City Rapid Transit company has
in st. Paul, the Commercial club of that
city has decided to urge the st. Paul city
council to ascertain whether or not the
per cent gross earnings clause in the new
charter is applicable to the street railway
company in view Of the latters franchises.
AS the city attorney has ruled that the
company can not extend any Of the" pres
ent lines without coming under the pro-
visions Of the charter and the street rail-
way company declares that it will not pay
a gross earnings tax, the situation is not
pleasing to the business men. The MEM
bers Of the club were united on the propo-
sition that improvements were more i'm
portant than the tax. Judge Willis and
others agree that the charter can be
amended so as to relieve the street rail-
Way company.

Army officers have come to the belief that
Port Arthur can be relieved now only from the
