T told the sheriff and marshal what the woman said, and they still refused to release her. They sent two attorneys to jail to see the woman, and then came to me and said that the lawyers wanted $25 out of the case. I replied that I did not have any $25 to give them. and then he said he would release the woman. l asked where the county solicitors office was and asked that they hold the woman un- til l could see the solicitor.

POLICEMAN SORE
 ON HIS TREATMENT Birmingham Officer Gets Cold
 Deal in West Point, Miss. WENT AFTER A PRISONER
Claims That Officials There Used Many subterfuges to Keep Him From Se- curing Ida Hunter and
 Tried to Hold Him Up."

Policeman Penn has just returned from West Point, Miss, where he went after Ida Hunter, a negro woman wanted here for assault with intent to murder, and he tells a story of what appears to be rather shabby treatment he received at the hands of the authorities there.
 The policeman says that the authori- ties there attempted to hold him up'' for S25 for two lawyers who had nothing ap- parently to do with the case, and turned the woman loose without any habeas corpus proceedings after she had agreed to return to Alabama without requlsition papers. His story Is as follows:
 Said 1t Would Be Easy.
 When I reached West Point I went to the hotel to breakfast and the marshal of the city called to see me and said 1t would be easy to get the woman, that she would return without papers. After that the sheriff of the county and the marshal had conference, and the mar shal returned and told me that a lawyer had told the sheriff not to let the woman leave without requisition. I wired Chief Wier for papers, and then went to see the sheriff and the marshal
 T asked to be allowed to see the woman and they refused. Finally after about an hour they let me see the woman, and she seemed glad to see me. She said she wanted to return by the first train and was willing to come without papers She denied that she had engaged any law yer, and said that she had not even seen one, although the sheriff and the marshal had told me she had retained this attor- noy, who said she could not return with out papers

DES NJ. LOCKOUT Is OYER
PHIL CARLIN RETURNS FROM
IOWA CAPITAI-sAYs LABOR
ING MEN GAINED THEIR POINT.

Phil Carlin, secretary of the Build
ing Trades council, returned from Des
Moines, Iowa, this morning, whittier
he was called in connection. with the
lockout in building trades circles. He
effected a settlement, and the agree
ment will be ratified to-day.
1.-THE trouble started with the
plumbers, painters and electricians, y
said Mr.. Carlin. '"The employers at
tempted to force the open shop on the
men, and there was lockout of the
carpenters and bricklayers. The en-
ployers had refused to meet a COM
mittee representing the building
trades, but I talked them into seeing
that they were wrong in this.
by the agreement, the men are to
work eight hours, and time and a half
is to be paid for all overtime and
night work. Double time is to be
paid for working on Sundays and holi-
days. The men are to reserve the
right to refuse to work with non
union men or under nonunion fore
man. The standard wages for car
penters will be 40 cents an hour, and
the minimum wages 32h cents. Stew
ards on all jobs and the business
agents are to carry out the instruc-
tons of the executive council of tbs
Des Moines union. The trouble lasted
about three weeks"

Judge Brooks Denies the Former

be allowed to use his Oak Lake prop

denied without prejudice and may be
renewed after the conclusion Of the
case to be tried before Judge c. B. Ell

any rate, DR.. Ames has not withdrawn
and he will show the people that he is

RARE FORM OF SMALLPOX
Lillian Byorum Down With Disease
Which Killed Her Brother.

The first results of the Byorum fu-
neral at which several persons were
exposed to smallpox infection, are be-
ginning to show themselves in South
Minneapolis. Lillian Byorum, sis
ter Of William Byorum, is down with
the disease in the same rare but dead
ly form which carried off her brother,
and which the physicians did not even
recognize as smallpox
The disease has first appeared just
where DR.. Hall expected it, in the
only member of the family who has
never been successfully vaccinated-
Miss Lillian's condition may be re-
garded as serious. AS in the case Of
her brother, there is no eruption and
no external symptoms.
Health Commissioner Hall did not
see William Byorum, but is convinced
that he had smallpox, and that he
contracted it from handling the body
of Joseph H. Lockwood. DR.. Hall is
also thoroly satisfied that Mr.. Lock-
wood had smallpox The surviving
members Of the Lockwood family are
now considered out Of danger. Mrs.
J. H. Lockwood, who lost her husband
and two children, is down with the
disease in very light form.
At PAPA Twenty-fifth avenue S,
where Mrs. Stewart and Mrs. j. Wes-
ley Lockwood died, there are two re-
cent cases, J. Wesley Lockwood and
one of the little girls, both of whom
have 1T in light form.

BIDS ARE COMPARED
p. G. Reilly Analyses Offers for Paw.
ing Material.

P. G. Reilly, of the Republic Greco
soting company, discussing the bids
submitted at the city council meeting
last evening for material in his COM
pany's line, said:
ITO an experienced person an an
alysis Of the bids received last night
will show there was no effort on the
part of the Southern Creosoting COM
pany to make any substantial reduce
ton. Rather, as is generally the case,
the lowest bid in the original competi-
ton was taken by them and by the
third party criterion for their bid
Of last night. Our first bid on long
leaf pine was STA; the southern
companys was s1.75. Last night our
bid was $154; the Southern company
who assured the council of big re-
duction, bid $1.6S, reduction OF only
seven cents from their first bod. 1s
this not proof that their original bid
was made with a full knowledge of
the requirements and that it was a
reasonable and fair bid?
"Our original bid on Norway was
$3.50. The third party bidding last
night bid s1.59 on long leaf pine, the
only timber readily obtainable by 1t.
On two-thirds the quantity Of oil, the
as a basis, the additional one-third
quantity Of oil would bring the cost to
at elast s1.69. 1t is easy, therefore, to
see that our low, at the first letting,
l. e.: $1.60, was taken as the basis for
this $3.50 bid.
''Our original proposal was fair and
as low as we could reasonably make it.
proves this. The reduction in our bid
cannot be stood by us alone-it must
be shared by the raw material men
and by our employees"

MORE TIME IS GRANTETD
Work on the Anol1a Trolley Lin
Won't Begin Until June 1.

Work on the trolley lines to Anoka
and Shakopee need not be comm fenced
by the Minnesota Power and Trolley
company until June /. The county
commissioners this morning granted
a thirty-day extension.
Joseph Kiichli, for the company,
informed the commissioners that he
believed some agreement could be
reached between his company and the
objecting bicycle riders as to the use
of the bicycle path. Upon this repre-
sentation the commissioners agreed
to give him more time.
1t is rumored that the company is
planning to secure land along the
proposed routes and run it's lines on
private property instead Of on the
roadway, and in order to do this it
needs time.

TOURED THE RIVIERA
Il. j. Phelps Returns After Chufflng
Along the Mediterranean.

F.: J. PHELPS has returned from an an
north coast Of the Mediterranean.
Leaving early in the winter he went
to Genoa, where he found his large
gasolene touring surrey awaiting him,
and in that vehicle he followed the
beautiful coast road around to Nice.
From that point as headquarters he
made many shorter trips and brought
his outing to a close by chuffing back
to Genoa.
In all, Mr.. Phelps drove his machine
about 1000 miles, and without a bad
accident or breakdown. On the trip
to Nice he found portions Of the road
shrouded in dust which was as i'm
penetrable to the vision as London
fog. On the return trip, there had
been rains and this dust had been
transformed into greasy coating
which made the rock foundation Of
the road exceedingly dangerous. At
San Reno he skidded at a sharp turn
on steep road of this sort and de-
scribed a complete circle, but without
injury. An instant later French
tourist dashed around the same cor
ner and knocked his aluminium ton
neau into the semblance Of an old
tomato
Mr.. Phelps returns in better health
and more profound believer than
ever in the coming supremacy of
the side entrance car. He says the
tonneau is already being largely
abandoned for the side entrance style
of rig in Italy and France.
