CONVICTED in
DISTRICT COURT
JOHN p. QUIRK, PROPRIETOR OF
GAMBLING HOUSE, GUILTY.
Evidence Is Brief. but Satisfies the
Jury-Everett r.. Best Is the Com
planning Witness-Q uirk Is ordered
to Report for Sentence Saturday.

John P. Quirk stands convicted Of
maintaining gambling device at PSI
Hennepin avenue. The jury was out
not more than fifteen minutes. The
prisoner, who is on bail, was ordered
to report for sentence Saturday morn
ing.
The evidence was brief. only two
witnesses being sworn for the state
and one for the defense. The de-
PENDANT did not take the stand, but
depended upon the weakness of the
states evidence. Everett r. Best, the
complaining witness, testified that he
had been in the habit of frequenting
Qulrk's rooms, known as the Union
CLUB, and that he had lost there be-
tween $3.50 and $500 playing the rou-
lette wheel. He swore that the defen-
dant was nearly always at the club
and was in the habit of giving orders,
taking money from the safe and gen
orally conducting himself as the pro-
prietor. Williamson, a companion of
Best, corrobOrated this story.
E. G. Best, the compliments broth
err, was called by the defendant and
produced checks drawn by his COM
pany to E. r. Best. The date Of these
did not correspond with those given
by the prosecuting witness, who was
called to the stand second time and
explained that he had been mistaken
in fixing the dates Of some Of his Wis
it's, but that he had made no mis-
statements in regard to the happen
lngs which he detailed

GOLD WAVE IS A "VAG"
THE WEATHER BUREAU DOESN'T
EVEN ADMIT THAT 1T IS A COLD
COUNT.

A tramp cold wave struck Mime
apolis in the early morning hours to-
day. 1t is scorned as a cold wave by
the weather mixers Of the federal
building because the mercury did not
drop at least twenty degrees. They
say their forecast Of yesterday Of CON
tinued cold covered the case. The
thermometer registered 5 degrees
above zero at o'clock last night and
degrees below at Z o'clock to-day.
The drop is thought to have been a
sharp one early this morning. While
the cold wave may not have been Of
fetal. it was sufficient for the early
riser whose cap was without ear bobs.
Fair and warmer tonight and
Thursday is the suspicion of to-day.
There will be no distressing or indis-
Greet rise in temperature, but Section
Director Outram expects that the
warmth will increase with stately
tread. Twenty-four degrees below zero
is general turnout Saskatchewan and
20 degrees below thruout Manitoba.
Temperatures range from IA to 20
degrees below zero thruout northern
Minnesota and North Dakota. Duluth
reported 16 degrees below zero. The
cold is expected to pass eastward.
Light SHOWS are in progress from
North Dakota to the Atlantic coast.

.PENNA. TO OPEN
AN OFFICE HERE
EASTERN ROAD EXPECTED TO
COME TO MINNEAPOLIS.
Other Eastern Lines May Follow Suit
and Make a Bid for Passenger
Traffic From This Section-New
York Central Is at Disadvantage.

1t is expected by railroad men that
the Pennsylvania road will establish
in Minneapolis passenger offices sim
liar to those being prepared for the
New York Central and allied lines In
st. Paul. The Central is understood
to have chosen st. Paul because Of the
numerous railway headquarters there,
which make it easy to reach any of
the Chicago lines. This has given an
advantage to the Central's rival, the
Pennsylvania, as much more initial
business is done in Minneapolis than
in st. Paul. The Pennsylvania al
ready has a general office here, but
the new plan calls for city ticket
office.
This move will undoubtedly be fol-
lowed in Minneapolis by other eastern
lines which have competitive inter-
ests. In fact, it is understood that
preliminary moves have been made to
this end.
Lines east of Chicago have always
done a good business in Minneapolis,
but it has been done thru the agents
of the local roads who have sold over
their own road to Chicago and east
over any line the passenger desired.
Under the new plan this procedure
will be reversed. Passengers will buy
thru tickets to the east at the city Of
flee of the eastern line Of their choice,
and the agents will secure for them
tickets as far as Chicago over any
line they may choose.

McGraw's lumber camp on the Will
low river has contributed case Of
smallpox to Minneapolis. One Of the
men in the camp was taken ill last
Friday and came to Minneapolis on
Saturday. but did not call on a ply
sician until yesterday.
The physician directed the man to
proceed at once to the health office.
He also informed the department Of
the coming visitor AS the patient did
not appear a search of the lodging
houses was started, but the victim was
not located until this morning. When
asked why he had not revealed himself
yesterday, the fellow said cheerfully
that he thought he only had ring

Hall believes is a new name for con-
fluent smallpox

SETS A BAD EXAMPLE
Man Arrested for Drunkenness Gets 9th
ers Into Trouble

Man Arrested TOR drunkenness Gets Oth.
ers Into Trouble.
1t is a curious fact we'll known to Off
GERS of the police court that when the
prisoners enter their pleas in the morn
ing they usually follow the example OF
the first man called. If he pleads guilty
the rest do the same.
Twelve men were arragned on charges
of drunkenness this morning and the
first pleaded guilty. He explained that it
was his first arrest that he had a wife
and family who needed his support, and
asked leniency. Eight of the twelve told
nearly the same story. All had wives and
children and because the court listened to
their story they thought all was well. The
other four were old offenders and wisely
kept silent. There was d uniform sigh
when the judge sentenced all to the GUS
tomary $40 or ten days.
The court officer who makes cut the
lists in the morning Is thinking Of placing
first on the tab the name Of some man
who will be sure to plead guilty. The
others will follow like sheep and save the
court much valuable time.

TRIBUTE TO FLOUR CITY
s:PRIMARY EDUCATION' UTTERS
EULOGY UPON INDUSTRIAL
WORK DONE IN MINNEAPOLIS
SCHOOLS.

Under the head of Treasures From
Minneapolis the editor of Primary
Education" the leading publication of
it's kind in the country will in the
April number pay a fine tribute to the
Industrial work in the Minneapolis
schools. From proof sheets received
by Miss M. A. Holton, supervisor Of
primary work, the following is
clipped:
MY faith in Minneapolis teachers
always great since I visited them
mounts higher in the glow Of my ap-
probation. We accept the benefit Of
hand work in education so universally
in these days that no thoughtful critic
can be found to doubt it's wisdom. The
allowance of time given to this indus
trial work in Minneapolis schools is
so little that the success attained could
hardly be understood if one did not
know what plan and energy In SUI
pervision can accomplish with the CO.
operation Of able teachers-and Min
neapolis teachers have long ago won
an enviable reputation for loyal sup
port in all good things"

preme Court Decision.
BY a recent ruling of the United States
supreme court all volunteer soldiers who
serve in foreign lands are entitled to two
months extra pay. The law providing
that the Spanish Am erican war soldiers
serving outside Of this country be given
extra pay was passed in 1899, but the adj
jutant generals department decided that
1t did not apply to the volunteers enlisted
in 1899 and discharged in 1901. Test cases
were brought with the result stated above.
This decision will effect about 1000 men
in Minnesota who enlisted at Fort Smelling
in the Forty fifth regiment.

BUILDERS AGAINST. IT
OPPOSE REsOLU-

CITY LABORERS.

Representatives from the labor
unions and the Builders Exchange
were at the city hall this afternoon
to attend the meeting of the special
council committee to which was re-
ferred the proposal to increase the
pay of city laborers to 81 per day.
While the building trades are the
ones most affected by the proposed
resolution, all organized labor is tax
ing an active interest.
On the other hand, the master
builders fear that the resolution, if
passed, will disturb the labor market
generally. They will vigorously OPP
pose the resolution as uncalled for
and not for the best interests of the
community.

He was endowed with great executive
ability and was distinguished for his
sound judgment, large business capacity
and good common sense. He loved his
friends and was true and steadfast in his
friendships. Tie was not only a good lover
but good fighter and never turned his
back upon friend or foe. In a frank and
manly fashion he met every issue squarely
and reached right conclusions quickly"

the diameter is 27 inches. The work
of making the sleeve proved a diff
cult task, as it was necessary to pro-
vide heavy bulges on one side of the
sleeve to make room for the broken
and extended f1anges of the water
main.
Two divers will be necessary to
handle the big casting under the wa
ter. A hosting crane will be built
on the ice and this will be used to
assist the divers in their task. As
all signals for hosting or turning
will have to be given by jerking a
rope, the work Of getting the big
chunks into position will be difficult.
The divers will be in constant danger
until the task is finished. 1t is ex-
pected that the repair will be COM
pleted in a few days.
