"TIME TO HALT, >

Republican Manager Holly Con-
dennis Great Northern S Po-
litical Interference.

II do not hesitate to say that the
Great Northern railway is absolutely

MIR. Martin with number of friends
was at the Ryan hotel. A Journal man
called his attention to the published
stories that he was securing support
for Governor Van SAINT as senator to
succeed Moses E. Clapp.
'sIt is all ie,' answered Martin,
with considerable: warmth, "and I am
glad that I have the opportunity right
here to say so. I have not written a
letter or sent telegram except to my
mother since the close Of the campaign.
"All these stories mentioning and
didate and mentioning my name with
his come from one source, the Great
Northern railway. It received first
publication in MI Hill IS official organ,
the st. Paul Globe, and that is enough,
IN my mind, to condemn it as an abso-
lutte lie. The Great Northern railway
and its agents are simply trying to
shape the policy of the re publican party
and to head off what they fear will hap
pen.
The stories appearing now in the
merger papers relative, to the sena-
torlal contest ought to remind every re-
unbHcan in this state Of the early days

SOUGHT DEATH TO
ESCAPE CENSURE
Thomas Healy Did Not Have
Heart to Face Family and
Employers.

Thomas Healy, employed by the
American Hoist and Derrick company
of St. Paul, committed suicide in chair
car of the Chicago Great Western linn
tied as it pulled into the yards across
the st. Paul drawbridge at 1920 this
morning.
The suicide was not discovered until
the train had stopped under the union
station sheds, when a negro porter
found a thin stream of blood flowing
from under the closet door. He opened
the door and found Healy, dead. Near
by lay 44-caliber revolver. ..
Healy had placed the muzzle in his
mouth and pulled the trigger.
For several weeks Healy had been
at the Boston navy yard installing ma
chinery. About ten days ago he went
off on spree and since then the com
pany had heard nothing of him.
1t is supposed that the man was
conscience stricken because Of his de-
sertion and did not have the heart tc
face his employers or his wife an(
family, with whom he lived at 100
Glencoe street. He was 48 years old.

PROBING CANCELLATIONS
Council Committee to Have Look into
Assessment Attachments.

Aldermen F. L. Schoonmaker, James
S. Lane and Sam E. Adams were ap-
pointed by President David P. Jones at
the council meeting last evening. as a
special committee to investigate alleged
illegal cancellation or anullment of spe-
cial assessments on the books of the
county auditor. The officials are reti-
cent, but intimate that there may be
sensational developments.
A specific case is in connection with
water main on Main street Sc from
Third avenue to Sixth avenue, for
which citizen advanced more than
$500, the cost of the improvement, with
the understanding that he should be
reimbursed when the assessments had
been collected. When the time came,
he received only half that sum. An
investigation showed that half of the
assessment had been cancelled on the
ground that the abutting property was
railroad property and exempt, This is
disputed by the city. It is intimated
that there are several suspicious look.
ing attachments of the same general
character.

BEQUEATHED TIDY sum
TO HIS BENEFACT0R


Charles Madden, one of the early
residents of the city, and who for sew
eral years has lived at the Dewey no.
tel, on First street, died Thursday.
When his will was read yesterday, John
Nelson, who took care Of the old man
in his last days, was found to inherit
5000 in cash.
Madden was usually thought of as
a pauper, and when his health began
to fail him, Nelson, proprietor of the
hotel, gave him room and waited on
him personally.
A few days ago the old man called
for lawyer and made his will, leav-
Ing all his money to Nelson, who, he
said, had been his good friend. His
wealth at that time was not known,
but when the attorney searched the
room he found certificates of deposit
on the Farmers and Mechanics bank
calling for $4,000.
The large amount of money was a
complete surprise to Nelson, who had
considered Madden penniless man.

WHEAT FALLS SHORT
IN THE GRINDING

One of the big Minneapolis milling
companies made the statement today
that in all flour produced for some time
past a larger proportion of wheat has
been used. On a grind of 100000 bar
rels the excess consumption of wheat
over ordinary ran to 100000 bushels.
This was nee ssary to keep up the quail
ity of the -four.
AS the department of agriculture
is now Investigating the matter of the
proportion of milling wheat in the last
crop, and expects to make report this
month, the foregoing would indicate
that the report will find a serious def
cheney in the northwest.
All the local milling companies ad-
init that they are using more wheat in
proportion to the -four output than ever
before, and the country mills confirm
this tn The effect ct Of Of the lower -four pro- S

DID NOT SEE THE ENGINE
AUGUST SANDBERG STRUCK ON
THE 500 LINE TRACKS AND IS
PROBABLY FATALLY INJURED.

August Sandberg, farm hand en-
ployed by A. w. Estes, two miles north
Of Minneapolis, received probably fatal
injuries this morning from a switch
engine in the 500 yards at Camden
Place. Both legs were broken and he
received serious internal injuries.
The accident happened at 7 am. as
the young man was coming to the city.
He failed to see the approaching en-
CINE as it backed down and the wagon
was struck squarely in the middle.
San6berg was thrown out against the
engine. and then hurled violently to
the ground. The team escaped without
injury and, with the remnants Of the
wagon, ran up to Washington, where it
was stopped.
The injured man was taken to the
Lyndale hotel, and the physicians sum
moned decided to take him home, the
there is little hope for his recovery.

MAP SHOWING PROPOSED ADDITION TO
UNIVERSITY CAMPUS.

Definite steps toward the securing of
''greater campus for the University
OF Minnesota were taken yesterday at a
meeting held in response to a call is
sued by David P. Jones, George H. Part.
ridge, Fred B. Snyder and 6. J. Rock.
versity of Minnesota met in Mr.. Rock.
wood 8 office in the Andrus building,
and inaugurated a movement for add.
tional campus ground for the university
which may prove solution of the prob.
lem now confronting the board Of
regents.
The fact that the campus is too small
and inadequate for the needs of the uni
versity has been shown by the difficulty
the regents have had in finding suitable
1 for the proposed main and
s;Gatad buldngs 1t was con-
cation of the psychological building on
the river bank back Of the library, a
beauty spot of the campus, which in the
opinion Of many, has already been en-
croached on by too many buildings.
The location Of the main building has
not yet been determined, but a site on
avenue will probably be chosen at the
next meeting Of the regents. Feeling
that there is a crying need for addi-
tional ground in order that the beauty
Of the campus may be preserved. the
alumni present at the meeting yester-
day, declared themselves in favor of
condemning and securing for the uni
versity, the tract Of ground along the
river toward St. Paul, bounded by State
street and the Mississippi. The pro-
posed addition covers nine blocks on
both sides Of Washington avenue, and
is covered at present with dwelling
houses. It is thought that the plat
could be secured for $150,00O.
The plan met with the approval of
the alumni present and a committee of
three will present the idea to the
regents at the first opportunity. If
their Endorsement can. be secured the
state legislature will be asked to take
steps toward carrying out the idea.
In connection with the discussion of
the proposed addition to the campus the
| argument was advanced that should the
land be secured it would be possible to
segregate the different departments of
the university. The archaeological
building might be built on part Of the
new campus, and in time the medical
school might have part Of the campus
devoted exclusively to the department
Of medicine. The present campus would
of course, be used by the academic anc
engineering colleges.
The need Of more ground for the uni
versity is admitted, and as this plan i!
| Endorsed by many of the most prominent
alumni in Minneapolis thoroly CONVEX
SAINT with the situation, it is quite like
Nv to be adopted.

HAYNES LOSING
AS COUNT GOES ON
is THAT RECOUNT

With About Half the City Recounted,
Jones Is Wiping Out His EARLY Losses

With all of the first five wards and

counted in the mayoralty contest,

of only nineteen votes, including the
Gag error in his favor Of forty votes in
the sixth district Of the fourth ward.

close of the recount today. Gains were
made in the eleventh district Of the
fifth ward, where Jones gained five and
Haynes lost seven. This wiped out all
the Haynes gains except the big forty.
In the fourth Of the eighth, Jones
gained IL and Haynes lost IL.
One of the Haynes attorneys admitted
this morning that there was no show
whatever for Haynes to overcome the
Jones lead and it will be no surprise
if the contest is abandoned before the
recount is completed. ~h. II
No Further Attack.
Some comment has been made by
certain newspapers over the failure Of
port on expenditures and there have
been intimations that legal proceedings
would be instituted to GUST Mayor elect
David P. Jones, if he took office.
George, P. Douglas chairman Of the
democratic campaign committee and
private secretary to. Mayor Haynes,
said this afternoon that no such course
had ever been considered by the COM
mittee or the friends of Mayor Haynes
as far as he knew.
David P. Jones spent only $50 Of his
own money. say his friends. The speak
ers in his behalf and the automob iles
cost nothing. Undoubtedly some Of his
friends spent some money, but there was
no campaign commi ttee they say, and it
was not necessary to inform Mr.. Jones
as to the amount spent in his behalf.
