FLOWERS AND SEEDS
FOR SUNBEAM BAND
Children Hold Meeting on Capitol Steps
and Collect Garden Material

Two pink carnation blossoms and a
bushel of rutabagas in the seed, a rose
as real as it was red and seed for a
fence fulf' of morning glories-these
were specimen gifts distributed yester-
day afternoon by Mrs Arthur E. Clark,
president of the Sunbeam band, to a
hundred boys and girls.
The SunbeaRS assembled first at the
Cedar street entrance of the state cap
itol,,, But the twenty big boys stood
SO .rudely in the path of many small
girls that, the meetingi1 automatically
adjourned only to reconvene at the Ex-
change street entrance with the little
girls holding the flooT-to wit, the high
est steps.
Then the children, guided by Everett
Kirk, sang cheerily about flowers and
the helping hand. Miss Kirk sang
solos. Mrs. Clark, addressing the band,
distributed so many decorative flowers
and useful seeds that her task con-
sumed two hours. Cheers for Mrs.
Clark, Miss Kirk and Mr.. Kirk were
given with special emphasis by young
''repeaters' who, by naughty duplica-
tion of themselves, had each obtained
four, six or eight blossoms and enough
seeds for "Elizabeth's German Garden"

PICNIC Winds Up
EAGLE CONVENTION
Delegates and Friends of Fra
ternai Order Spend Sunday
at White Bear

The annual picnic and reunion of
Eagles was held at White Bear yes
terday. it being estimated that 5000
persons We're present, the event being
made a fitting social ending to the first
annual state convention Of the fra
ternal order. n
A great majority of those who at
tended went by the regular and special
trains from the union depot, but it is
estimated that more than 1000 took the
street cars to wildwood and rode
across the lake. Even the regular g
o'clock evening train was crowded to
its full capacity, and at the same hour
the boats crossing the lake, were un-
able to carry all the passengers desir-
ing to go from Wildwood. While these
were going out thousands were return
Ing to the city,.
1t was an orderly crowd, out for an
enjoyable day, with the result that
there was comparatively. no trouble:
The dancing in the pavilion drew and
held great proportion of the young
people, while in the picnic grounds
could be seen hundreds of families with
the familiar lunch baskets. The nu-
tive and there were many hot contests
for the prizes.
May Return Guarantee Fund
A suggestion has been made that if
the financial showing is what is ex-
pected when the expenses of the con-
vention are paid that the guarantee
fund subscribed, which amounted to
something hkeo$3,000 be given back to
the subscribers. F. G. Schiffmann, a
prominent member of the local aerie
believes that the entertainments will
nearly, if not, pay the expenses incl
dent to the conyention, and that there
fore the money subscribed, by business
men be returned. He said:
AT least / believe that per cent OF
the amount Should be returned. 1t was
found impossible to get any great num-

Some of The members of the commit
tee in charge of the affair expressed
the opinion that there would be but
little left to divide among the contrib
utors unless thSe returns from the pic
nlc are greater. than there is reason to
expect that they will be. 1t is admit
ted that the attendance was a great
disappointment, for which no eXplana-
ton can be offered. Members of the or

want to drown myself" exclaimed
George Robertson, 476 Lafond street,
yesterday morning when two boys
found him at $50 o'clock lying on the
river bank, three miles below St. Paul.
on the West side.
The boys, William Lehman, eighteen
years old, and Edward Tavernier, fif@
teen years of age, had come to the riv-
er bank on a fishing expedition and
were surprised to find Robertson lying
on the bank with his feet in the water.
AT first glance they thought the
man dead, but when they made a closer
examination they discovered that he
was asleep. They woke him and he be-
came angry. First he ordered them to
leave him and when they refused to go
he accused them of robbing him of q
bundle of clothes. Finally he told them
to get away, saying. he wished to drown
himself
The frightened boys ran to the hab
itation of Isaac Parks, who has fish
ing camp a short distance from where
they found Robertson. They asked him
to go with them and he accompanied
them.
Found Him Dead
When they reached the spot where
they had left Robertson they found
him lying on his back in the water near
the bank. He was dragged on shore
and was found tt be dead.
Parks Immediately notified the police
and Patrolmen Guydeson and Zimmer-
man were sent to investigate. Deputy
Coroner Whitconlb was notified and he
ordered the removal of the body to the
county morgue.
An autopsy was held yesterday after
noon at the morgue and it was found
that death was causing by drowning.
No inquest will be held. The body was
turned over to Hurley & RebholZ, and
the funeral will be held Wednesday
afternoon.
Robertson was fifty years OF. age and
is survived by his wife and one daugh-
ter. Until recently he was employed
as a hostler by the Val Blatz Brewing
company. He was out of work during
the past two months. He left home
Saturday morning and was not seen
again by his wife. Mrs. Robertson was
Frustrated yesterday when informed
of the death of her husband.
Robertson was born in Denmark and
had resided in st. Paul seventeen years.
He was member of the Danish Broth
erhOOd, Local Lodge No. 81, which will
have charge of the funeral.
Robertson was also known among
his Scandinavian friends as Jurgen
Rasmussen, the name he bore in Den
mark. He changed it some years ago,
but his original name clung to him.

.BRICKMAKERS QUIT
Fifty Union Men Order Strike
West ST. Paul

The fifty union men in the employ of
the Twin City Brick company, West
side, near the Omaha bridge, will not
go to work this morning, and an effort
will be made to induce the forty nom
union men to walk out also.
1t is claimed by the men that some
days ago they were served with notice
that it was question of either quitting
the union or losing their jobs. The
question was brought before the Trades
and Labor assembly and referred to
the advisory board. A conference was
held yesterday by members of the
board with Fritz Hoch, president of the
company, and w. S. Smith, the secre-
tary. the latter stating that they would
not consent to the continuance of the
union and the inevitable unionizing of
the yards unless their competitors We're
also brought in On this report being
made to the union, known as the Brick,
Tile and Terra Gotta Workers union, it
was decided to order a strike.
The union men claim that it is vir-
tually a lockout as they were making
no demands and are simply leaving
their places rather than quit the union.
They assert that the firm has been
opposed to the union since it was or
ganized, and were. particularly Offend
ed because the union men wore a but
ton TO distinguish them from the nom
union Workmen. Some of the leading
Union men were discharged, it is claim
ed, but the union continued to grow,
with the result that the order that all
employees must cease their connection
was promulgated
The WOrkmen are depending uDon
the moral assistance of the other
unions to win their contest. claiming
that with the Endorsement of the
Trades and Labor assembly the union
bricklayers will in the future refuse
to handle the product of the concern.

CHARGES AGAINST. .BUDY
TO BE HEARD THURSDAY
Police Commission Will Also Consider
Changes Recommended by Chief

The hearing of the charges against
Lieut.. William Budy, of the Prior av-
enue substation, is set for Thursday,
on which day there will be a regular
melting of the police commission.
Budy is accused of having permitted
the operation of blind pigs and dis
orderly houses in his district, and the
petitioners, headed by d. w. Doty, the
attorney, assert that for the alleged
failure TO perform his duty he should
be removed. Attorney Doty says that
the petitioners will only submit evil
dence to substantiate the charge, but
Budy has secured the signatures to a
petition from great many of the Mid
way people certifying that his admins
tratiOn of affairs has been satisfactory.
Doty insists that the petition should
have no weight in determining the
case. insisting that the evidence alone
should be considered
1t is expected that the transfers and
changes in the department. which have
been under consideration for some
time, will be announced at this meet
ing by Chief of Police O'Connor. What
will be done in this line is being kept
a profound secret, it being desired that
the changes be made before those af-
fected are aware that such a course is
contemplated
