RICHTER EXPLAINS
Claims Campbell Was In the Deal at Dew

lis Lake.
Dan e. Richter, one of the four news
paper correspondents about whom much
has been said concerning graft at Devils
Lake has returned to Minneapolis. Mr..
Richter admits that mistakes were made,
but declares he was no more to blame
than the others, one of whom has since
written a newspaper story holding him up
to riducule. Mr.. Richter says:
Campbell, the Sioux City man who has
i attacked me was in the deal. He con-
ceived the plan of making the business
men, of Devils Lake pay for his keeping.
/ The business men did not want the cor
respondents to leave, and We're informed
1 that they could remain only If their e2-
penses and salaries were paid. A propo-
sition was made that four would remain
for $3.50. The matter was taken up favor
ably by the business mems club. In the
meantime, Campbell, appalled, by the mag
nthceEce OF the amount, and fearing that
/ it would not go thru, gave out that he
would be willing to stay for ten or fiji
teen dollars Campbell and another cor
! respondent went to the tent and framed
a message to Grand Forks Offering to
come down there if there was anything
doing, and the business men of that city
desired their presence for a consideration
In answer to this message a cordial invi-
tation was received to visit the Forks
Then, when the Devils Lake people heard
that all the correspondents were actually
/ going to leave, there came a little small
talk of graft Campbell got scared, say
ing that if it came out that he was con-
nected with 1t he would lose his job. Sc

DR.. Henry L. Williams, coach of the
football team of the University of Mime
sofa, has completed his third year Of elm
ical work in the hospitals of the old world
and has packed his belongings and started
for Minneapolis. He is scheduled to ar
rive in New York on Aug. 81 and expects
to reach. Minneapolis on the morning of
Sept. 2. This information was conveyed
in a letter received today by a friend in
Minneapolis.
On arriving here DR.. Williams will at

and will have his first look at the new
men in the squad. There will be two OF
three days work at the island before the
camp transfers it's activity to Northror

tunity to study the characteristics OF the
candidates
Answers to the preliminary call are still
pouring in. The squad Of newcomers will
not lack in numbers no matter what tbs

the new men have records behind them
but the majority have their records tt

| week is that a greater number of the ole

pected. This will give Assistant Coacl
| Dobie an opportunity to break up the as

CARTER TELLS WHY
Says Lack of Advertising Caused Small
Attendance ut Expo.

Thomas H. Carter, chairman of the
United States commission appointed to
confer with the worlds fair directors in
regard to the loan Of $4 600, 900 to the fair
by the federal government was in st.
Paul yesterday on his way to Chicago and
st. Louis.
He attributed the light attendance at
the fair to the lack of advertising. While
everyone knew that there was a fair,
there was a lack of special knowledge
which people require before they spend
their money for travel and sight seeing.
However, since the commission warned
the fair officials that the government
might take charge Of the gate receipts
there has been an increased attendance
and it is expected that In the months OF
September, October and November the at
tendance will be phenomenal and that the
entire sum loaned may be repaid

But When They Become Children The.

The order affecting The Trossachs and
other Brown flats is not so rigid as at
first imagined. Babies will not be consid-
cred a nuisance until they have passed
the divide into childhood. Tenants having
children who disturb neighbors have been
given notice to find quarters elsewhere
w. r. Brown, owner Of the Trossachs and
several other hat~ buildings, says:
I'VE have no objections to baby visitors
but flats are no place for children of from
to 10 years of age. People who love chill
dren do not care to rent flat in build
ing where troops of little ones abound.
I'VE must have children, but they dc
not thrive in flats, and parents should
find homes for them where they can en-

with children at The Trossacns have been

THE TWIN CITY
EXHIBIT PRAISED
MRS. HAMLIN REPEATS COMPILE
MENTs OF VISITORS.
She Tells Fellow Members of Local
Commission That the Minneapolis
ST. Paul Joint Exhibit Is Considered
a Model-Its Popularity Increasing.

Mrs. Condo Hamlin entertained her
fellow members of the twin city expo
sition commission yesterday afternoon
with a lively report on the twin city
pavilion at the ST. Louis exposition
The meeting was held at Mayor
Haynes office and was attended by
Controller Louis Betz and B. f..
Beardsley from st. Paul and Alder
men c. b. Holmes, M. A. Gerber and
J.. FL. Duryea Of Minneapolis. Mayor
Haynes looked in when he was not
giving his attention to delegation
of women from Minnehaha or to the
| meeting of the board of charities and
| corrections.
Mrs Hamlin said that interest in
the model city was growing with every
| day and the twin city pavilion was
getting it's share of visitors. The city
was being made more attractive in
various ways and efforts were being
made by the exposition authorities
and the cities represented to increase
4 it's popularity. New York city, which
| had appropriated $4,000 for it's nu-
nicipal exhibit had recently made an
/ other appropriation of 10000 for ad-
/ ditional features.
Many hattering comments were
made by the visitors on the complete
ness of the twin city exhibit as we'll
as it's scientific arrangement and ar
tistic treatment The members of a
San Francisco delegation expressed
themselves as deeply Inundated in
comparing their pavilion with that OF
the twin cities and declared their ex-
hibit at the Portland exposition next
year would be based on the twin city
| model.
Mrs. Hamlin expressed keen regret
that the big fair was not attended by
more people from the northwest. II
was by far the greatest enterprise OF
the kind ever undertaken. An oppor-
tunity to see anything on a like scale
might not come to the northwest in q
generation, but she feared that many
who could easily afford to attend the
I fair would not realize the immense
scope of the exposition until it was toe
late.
/ Mrs. Hamlin was warmly compli.
mented on her share of the work.
The commission paid a number o.
claims and made arrangements fol
! publishing a complete catalog of the
exhibits at the twin city pavilion fol
the guidance Of visitors.

RIGHT INTO THE LAKE
A Good Meteorite Spoiled by Cooling Too
QufckIV -,

With increasing brilliancy, leaving q
path of fire. a meteorite burst from the
heavens last night about IL o'clock, and
lighting the sky and earth with its blaze
fell in Lake Minnetonka near the old
yacht clubhouse. There was a kissing
sound and muffled report. It is thought
that the explosion was caused by the
bursting Of the meteorite from the sudden
chill, and that it was dlss!pated into smas
fragments.
Early this morning, when a trip was
made to the spot where the aerolite was
supposed to have fallen the water was
found to be covered with an iridescent
oily glaze, and numerous dead, half.
boiled fish were floating around.
