ENGINEERS QUARREL
WITH BEER MAKERS
Brewery Workers Must Explain
Their Attitude to Trades
and Labor Assembly.

There is trouble between the Steam
Engineers and the Brewery Workers
unions, the engineers claiming that the
brewery men will not assist the engi-
neers in their efforts to control the men
following the occupation Of stationary
engineers. The engineers have appeal
ed to the Trades and Labor assembly
to interfere and if possible bring about
an agreement. There are two organ
izations of engineers, one of which is
not recognized by the local assembly.
but with which the Brewery Workers
affiliate.
The engineers claim that they have
done everything within their power to
secure recognition from the Brewery
Workers, but their personal efforts
have come to naught and written COM
municatiOns have not been answered.
1t is further claimed by the engineers
that they have at all times acted in a
friendly spirit, but that the Brewery
Workers have seen fit to either refuse
their requests in an arbitrary manner
or ignore them altogether.
The question will come up at the
meeting of the Trades and Labor as
sembly Friday evening and the action
taken by this body will be important
as the American Federation of Labor
has held with the engineers, and If
action is taken by the local assembly
it must be in line with the action OF
the national body and therefore in ia
Vor of the engineers.

DIDN'T LIKE 1T.
Soon Found Why.

Coffee has a terrible hold on some
people.
About eight years ago l was a great
sufferer from stomach trouble; my liv-
er was all out of fix and a wise doctor
forbid tea and coffee. At that time 1
was so weak could hardly walk, abso-
lutely poisoned.
"One day l noticed Postum in the
store, and, having read about it, L
bought a package and made some. /
did not like it, but tried it again and
followed directions carefully. 1t was
not long before liked it better than
any other drink, and 1t has brought
me out of all the old coffee troubles,
too.
Il can now eat what I want, am
strong and healthy and the effects of
Postum on me were so good ali our
family soon drank it.
In summer, when the weather is hot,
| do not have that all gone feeling
now, for when l drink a cup of Postum
it refreShes and strengthens, but never
has the. bad er-effect like coffee.
Postum is like everything else-it
needs to be made right and there is no
better way than the directions on the
package" Name given by Postum Co,
Battle Creek, Mich.
There's a reason.
Look in each package for the famous
little book, The Road to MELVILLE"

FUEL DEALER NABS
MAN WHO WORKED HIM
Cashes Worthless Check and Then
Runs Into Man Wanted.

John B. Covington, a dealer in fuel
at 500 ST. Peter street, who is also a
special policeman, arrested Richard
Brown Saturday on a charge of pass
ing a fraudulent check on him.
Brown, who is also known to the po-
lice as Charles Miller, alias f. Meyers.
went to COvington's Office Saturday, it
is said, and ordered cord of wood.
He presented in payment a check for
SIS. The check was indorsed, appar-
emily, by Patrick III. Webb, another
fuel dealer COvington gave the man
about SO in change and he departed.
Later in the day, when the fuel man
started to deliver the order, he dis
covered that the check had been forg-
ed. He drove to Webb's place, and
while there in walked Brown. Coving-
ton grabbed the man and drove him to
the central station.
At the station Brown was searched
and a number of rubber stamps and
about $40 in cash were found on him.
1t is said that he has relatives in Min
neapolis.
At headquarters it was said yester-
day that the man had been operating
extensively in other cities. He was
we'll dressed, and his hat was marked
with the name of a Des Moines cloth
ing firm.
The police of that city and of Chi
cago were notified.
Don't forget to register Tuesday.

COLORED MEN WANT

sofa Senators.

If congress adjourns without ratify-
ing the appointment of DR.. c. c. Crum
to the post of collector of customs Of
the port of Charleston, S. c., the col
ored population threatens to take up
arms against the party in power in
Washington
Urgent messages are being sent out
by the colored leaders calling upon the
local negro organizations in all parts
OF the country to use their influence
with their senators in the interest Of
the confirmation of the appointment of
DR.. Crum by President Roosevelt.
Harvey Burk. Of Minneapolis, a prom
lnent local colored man, and a member
of the Mems Sunday club Of St. Paul.
has received a telegram from Wash
lngton which he read yesterday after
noon at the meeting of the club at Pill
grim Baptist church.
The telegram announced that in all
PROBABILITY congress will adjourn with
out confirming the appointment of DR..
Crum, and urges that the Minnesota
senators be asked to favor the selec-
ton OF the colored man to fill the fed
eral post at Charleston.
<AAICA OH ANIMATED discussion, In
which the opposing senators were
roundly scored, it was decided to call
a mass meeting Of all the coIored peo-
pie of st. Paul, to be held at Pilgrim
Baptist church Tuesday evening.
AT that meeting resolutions will be
adopted urging the Minnesota senators
to vote for the confirmation Of the
appointment. Addresses will be made
by prominent cOlored men of the city.
we feel that justice demands the
confirmation of the appointment, for
DIR. Crum has now been acting as col
lectOr of customs at Charleston for
several months" said Rev. w. D. Car
ter, pastor Of Pilgrim Baptist church.
He will receive no salary till the SEN
ate approves the presidents choice,
and if it is not secured he will have
no remuneration for the services which
he has performed. The appointment
of DR.. Crum was a recognition of the
colored people, and we would not like
to have the honor taken away by the
senate"

WOMAN LOSES FIGHT
FOR HUSBANDS LIFE
Wife Is Severely Burned in At.
tempting to Prevent His
Suicide.

Almost crazed by pain, with her
hands streaked and scared by burning
carbolic acid, Mrs. James Cline strug-
gled and fought in the doorway of 63
Sherburne avenue to save her husband,
who, battling like mad man, succeed
ed, despite the efforts of the woman
ana assistance that she had summon
ed, in raising a three ounce phial of
the deadly fluid to his lips, and, drain
ing the contents, he dropped with a
groan, dying at the feet of his wife.
Evidently made insane by the
thought that his wife had left him for
ever, James Cline, a steamfitter living
at S99 Clark street, swallowed almost
three ounces of carbolic acid late yes
terday afternoon in the doorway of
the residence of Richard Barrett at IS
Sherburne avenue. Mrs. Cline, who
had been summoned to the door to
meet her husband, was severely burn
ed about the hands in her attempt to
wrench the bottle from her husband.
Cline and his wife, whom he mar
RED about fifteen years ago, had been
| separated for almost two years. Two
children, Paul, aged eleven, and Alice,
a pretty little girl of six, have made
their home with Cline'S parents, who
live at 500 Clark street, since that
time.
Yesterday Cline, after kissing his
children good-by boarded a down
town car and going into a drug store
on Wabasha street purchased three
ounces of earbolic acid. He then went
to the house where his wife had made
her home since the separation and ask
ed Mrs. Barrett if he could see her.
Mrs. Barrett called Mrs. Cline into the
VeStibule and Cline asked her if she
was going to go home with him. She
refused.
Cline, without another word, pulled
the bottle of acid from his pocket and
with a quick movement placed it to
his lips. Mrs. Cline screamed and
| grasped the bottle. The fluid was spill
ed over her hands, and realizing that
her husband was about to destroy him
self, she Shrieked for assistance.
Mr.. Barrett was in the front parlOr
at the time and rushing into the hall
grappled with the man. 1t was too late,
as he had drained the bottle. He was
carried into the parlor and died in ter
| rible agony. Both of Mrs. Cline's hands
were terribly burned. Coroner Miller
was called and the body was taken to
the mOrgue.
Cline's parents were notified. Cline
was forty-fiVe and was born in Wis
cOnSin.

FUNDS FOR STRIKERS
St. Paul Operators VIII Assist
Men Out i'm Canada.

ST. Paul operators, members of st.
Paul Local No.. g. Commercial Teleg-
raphers' Union of America, will do all
In their power to assist the operators
of the Great Northwestern Telegraph
company, who walked out at Toronto
and other Canadian cities.
The local union operators met yes
terday afternoon at Central hall and
listened to lengthy, communications
from President w. Q. Long and Vice
President Dunn, who are now in Can
ada looking after the interests of the
strikers. The two officers explained in
detail the causes which led up to the
strike, and Informed the local operat-
ors that the men across the line were
making a fight for the future Of the
union. The communications stated
that the men whose discharge brought
on the strike were let out simply be-
cause they were members of the union.
The operators of the local decided
to raise funds for the Canadian strik-
ers by giving a smoker" A commit
tee was appointed and the date of the

MAY. REVIVE COUNCIL
Labor Unions Would Reorgan.
lze Building Trades Council.

An effort is being made in several of
the loealqlabOr unions to revive inter-
est in the Building Trades council,
the carpenters taking the lead. A
committee composed 'ofsC.. H. STRAIT
ton, E. NJ. Allen and A. r. Hughes
will represent the carpenters in a con-
ference with the brieklayers, stone
masOns and plasterers, and will re-
port back to the union Tuesday even
ing.
1t is likely that an agreement will
be, reached, the plasterers' and brick
layers unions having appointed COM
mittees to meet with the carpenters
and report back to the unions. 1t is
thought that the stonemasons will act
in a like manner and that the council
will be reorganized.
The object Of such a body is to treat
with employers for the different af-
filiating unions. making 1t unnecessary
for the individual unions to seek
recognition.

DEALERS IN WHEELS
SCORN COMMISSIONS
viii Sell Cycle Path Taos If
the Price Is Cut Fiji.
ty Cents.

In the bitter war that is waging be-
tween the cycle path commission on
one side and the local bicycle dealers
on the other the Kilkenny features are
httle more prominent than the wilI-not-
give-in-at-any-pr pronuncjanento
that has been the most noticeable out
growth Of the dispute.
The cycle path commission has met
and has solemnly declared that it will
be impossible to put the paths in first
Grass condition if the tags are sold at
less than 81, to which the dealers. sun
ported by many of the riders, answer
ed that as much money would be COL
Iected with the tags at so cents as at
81.
Nothing of the kind" asserted the
commissioners.
we know what we are talking
about" rejoined the dealers and the
riders.
And so it has gone on from the be-
ginning of the discussion. Neither side
seems disposed to give in, and the
question has become so entangled in
personalities, and the facts have be-
come so twisted that it is possible that
it may be referred to The Hague arbi-
tration tribunal.
The gentlemen have to all appear
ances made up their minds, and Simply
Will not listen to further argument. The
pickering may be satisfactory to the
parties engaged therein, but the BIZ
cycle rider who wants good paths and
is willing to pay his proportion of the
cost is growing restless, fearing that
in the quarrel the very existence Of the
paths will be forgotten.
There is slight ray of hope in the
rumor that the dealers and riders in
terested with them would accept a
compromise if the price of tags is re-
duced to rs cents. This would be
meeting the commissioners half way.
1t remains to be ascertained if this
unexpected move has been made.
But that number of the dealers
stand pat is evidenced by the fact
that they have made another PROPOSE
ton to the path commissioners in
which they offer to handle the tags
without commission if the price is
reduced to so cents, paying cash in
advance. 1t is claimed that this would
save $500 that is now paid for book
keeping and clerk hire.

PRETTY CLERK QUITS
STORE FOR HUSBAND
Miss Clara Miner, Out for a
Walk, Meets and WedS
William North.

I'm not feeling we'll and I'd like to
get off for q little while to take a walk
in the open air. 1t might relieve my
headache said Miss Clara E. Miner,
a pretty clerk in the lace department
of Field, Schlick & Co.'S store, at 8
o'clock Saturday afternoon.
Within half an hour the young wom-
an returned with flushed cheeks and
beaming eyes, the picture of health and
happiness. The change in her appear
ance was noted by the manager and
several of the clerks, and in reply to
question as to whether the air had
helped her she replied, as she took her
place behind the counter:
Yes, I'm feeling much better, thank
you. I've just been married. I'm going
to quit tonight. l want to say good
by to you girls" she continued, with a
sigh, Il met my husband at the door,
and we went together to Judge GAL
lick and he married'us. He's gone now
to break the news to my folks"
Notwithstanding her determination
to finish the day, Miss Miner became
weary Of her duties and notified the
manager that she wished to stop work
Immediately. Her pay was then made
up and she hurried to her home, where
she overlook her husband, who is Will
liam j. North, telegraph operator for
c. H. F. Smith. The newly welded
couple then went to the grOOmS home,
730 East Fourth street, where the news
was broken to his mother.
Yes it was rather sudden" said the
young husband last night. Though
we've known each other for over two
years, and were engaged, we had not
made any arrangements for wedding.
When l finished work Saturday at noon
l made up my mind to get married that
day. A short while after I met Miss
Miner at a newsstand, where he was
buying a fashion plate. She said she
would rather wait and make some
preparations, but l told her that as we
had decided to get married we might
as we'll have it over with at once as at
any time. She finally consented to
meet me on Wabasha street at 8
o'clock After We secured the license
she went to the store and looked up
my brother Tom. She kept her word
and we found Judge Gallick, and he
performed the ceremony"
Miss Miner is a daughter of Thomas
Miner, a commission merchant, who
resides at White Bear. She came to
st. Paul to reside with her uncle on
Mississippi street last fall, and went
to work at Field, Schlick & Co.'S store.
She was Familiarity known as Duke"
Miner, the only name by which her
fiance knew her till she gave her full
name when applying for the marriage
license.
The wedding is the result of a ro-
nance which started at Bald Eagle
lake two years ago, when North met
Miss Miner while sailing. North was
a frequent visitor at White Bear last
summer, and when winter made boat
ing impossible Miss Miner came to
the city. North and his bride will re :
side at his home with his mother.
