HENNEPIN AVE.
IS STIRRED UP
BUSINESS MEN WANT NO INyA-
SION OF MAIN ST. DENIzENS.
Some Say 1t Would Give Avenue a
Permanent Black Eye-What Is
Needed, Others Say, Is Thoro
Cleaning Out of the Vicious Classes
Already Located There.

Hennepin avenue is much stirred up
over the theatrical invasion of the red
light denizens from the East Side.
East Stders, on the other hand, who
are about to be rid Of this class, aver
that Mayor Haynes, if properly backed
attitude toward Hennepin avenue and
in addition to preventing the invasion
of the avenue will assist in clearing
out the present vicious roomers and
inmates Of dives.
The view of Hennepin avenue bust
ness men is pretty clearly shown by
the following interview obtained by
T h e urnal:
Stewart Gamble of Gamble & Ludwig
Huh! The street is pretty we'll invaded
already.
0. b. Clark, agent of the Adams Elk
press Company-Hennepin avenue from
ourth to Second street should have been
just as prominent a business street as
NiGollet from ourth to Second, had 1t not
been for this class of people. 1t was all
right at one time, before they came in and
claim owners Of property have killed It.
Thomas Voegeli of Voegeli Bros-I
think the policy should be to concentrate
such people in district which will not
affect the general reputation of the bust
ness institutions which cater to the better
class of people. Henenpin avenue is de-
tined ultimately to become a street cater
ing to the higher class of trade and a gen.
eral movement Of the red light district to
any street of this kind must affect it I'M
favorably.
F. c. johnson, president John c. Johnson
Co.-Goodness! Don't head off what is
coming. Head off what is already here.
j. 5. Porteous, manager of the Lumber
Exchange and owner of the Edison Build
ing-It Is an outrage that anything of the
kind should be permitted especially now
that there are signs of an awakening from
the deafness which Henepin avenue has
known for several years. This is one of
the finest streets in the city. Important
improvements have been considered for
Hennepin avenue and such thing as this
Is likely to give them a serious setback
w. l.. Badger, agent for Henepin Ave-
nue. Properties-We don't want them
there. 1t IS a very poor proposition to al
low it. 1t would be a great mistake. The
evil ought to be kept down south with
the rest of this class of people.
A leading East Side citizen said to-
day that the clearing of Main street
was not a matter for the East Side
alone to approve, but something that
affected the whole city. He said, fur
thermore, that this evil once removed
would never return under another ad-
ADMINISTRATION, at least while the pres
ent generation lived. He. said that the
law and the states prison penalty
would be invoked if ever an attempt
were made to break it again.

SAVED
HIM BEFORE
HOW SILBERBERG GOT OUT OF A
GERNIA NPRIsON.
Interesting Story Told in a Letter from
U. S. Consul Thieriot of Lisbon to
Sheriff J. w. Dreger-The Consul
Denies silberberg's Story of Rela-
Honship.

Henry Silberberg, it seems, was an
adept at the art of being sick in prison,
long before his experience in the Hen
nepin county jail. ]. H. Thieriot
United States consul at Lisbon, Portu-
gal In letter to sheriff j. w. Dreger,
onment at Freiburg, Germany, that
Is OF great interest in view of the man
ner In which the professor of hypno-
tism secured his release under bail
here.
Consul Thieriot was in 1897 sta
toned at Freiblurg. He received a
letter from Mrs. Silberberg, saying
that her son had been arrested, and
that there must be a mistake as he
was gem Of a SON. and an "exem-
plary youth Silberburg was sent
enced to three years imprisonme emit.
Soon after he became very sick and at
the earnest solicitation of Mrs. Silber-
berg, Consul Thieriot went to prison to
seeehim. OF his visit and efforts in
Silberberg's behalf he says:
found him in a pitiful state. The idea
came to me to try to get him pardoned.
The mayor, the chief of the prison, the
prison doctor all told me that was UNI
dertaking an impossibility. According to
the laws Of Baden, they said, dying or not
dying, prisoner must serve one-half Of
his sentence before ideas Of pardon could
be advanced or dreamt of. I did not let
this d1scoEcert me and saw the hereditary
grand duke of Baden. The grand duke
told me to apply to the prime minister,
Won Reck. In a week had his pardon.
He was too weak to be removed from the
prison hospital, but the knowledge that
I had obtained his pardon did more to re-
vive him than all the medicine. AS soon
as able to walk and travel he was handed
over to me, and had to send him under
an escort, selected by the Baden Jail Off
Gals, to Bremen where he was handed
over to a captain Of a North German Lloyd
liner, who obtained a receipt from the
New York authorities in proof of hiss ar
rival on American soil His pardon was
obtained on the condition that he never
again set his foot on German soil.
Consul Thieriot says that he is not
related in any way to Silberberg, ex-
planning more in detail the emphatic
telegram he sent Sheriff Dreger some
time ago.

members who were called on.
