WILL MOBILIZE HIS RIOTERS
Hearst Buys Up All the Hotel Rooms
Available in ST. Louis.
From Wednesdays Daily.

Chicago, April Ga Record Herald st.
Louis special says:
| Through the refusal of st. Louis hotel
keepers to sell all the space in. their
taverns to William R. Hearst, delegates
to the Democratic national convention
in July and others attracted by the
event who do not desire to be the guests
of Mr.. Hearst will stand chance of be-
ing accommodated. If the original
Hearst program had gone through there
would have been little room left in st.
Louis for any except Hearst delegates
and Hearst supporters.
As things stand, there is no parallel
in the history of national political con-
ventions for the plans that have been
perfected by the Hearst presidential
bureau. Hearst has engaged quarters
sufficient to house an army? His dele
gates and shouters are to be entertain
ed, roomed and fed at his expense. It
will not cost anyone who comes to st.
LOUIS W FOCc VI IOoC 1OT hcdTSC any
thing except his time, so far as can be
learned.
At the Planters hotel, Hearst has
| three full floors reserved for the con-
vention period of six days, and tried
| to rent the entire hotel. One of the
Hearst agents offered to remunerate the
management to the amount of several
thousand dollars day, but the manage
ment refused even to consider the prop
osition on the ground that it expected to
be in business after the convention.
Finally it was agreed to place the
eighth, ninth and tenth floors at Mr..
Hearst's disposal for the convention.
There are fifty rooms to a floor, so the
Planters reservation aggregates $50
rooms.
At the new jefferson hotel, close to
the convention hall, where the head
quarters of the national committee are
to be located and where the formal
opening will take place ON Thursday, the
Hearst agent wanted to reserve five
entire floors.
The management refused the re-
quest. But Mr.. Hearst did succeed in
reserving ninety-two rooms, occupying
two whole floors and the major part of
third.
At the Southern hotel, where the floor
space is measured in acres, the agent
would have been satisfied with a single
floor, but on the pretense of having to
attend to prior applications he was
turned away.
The cost that will attach to the rem
tai of rooms alone gives an mixing OF
the expense of the Hearst campaign.
Exclusive of what the delegates and
shouters eat, and of the bills they other
wise incur, Mr. Hearst's hotel bill Will
amount to $500 day. The Hearst
campaign, by its prodigality, has stag
gered some of the Democratic national
committeeman.

WOULD BE ADVANTAGEOUS.
Control of Northern Pacific by Union
Pacific Favored.
From Wednesdays Daily

The ST. Paul Globe last evening in
structed its Mankato correspondent to
interview several leading citizens and
ascertain their views upon the effect
upon the northwest which would result
from the Union Pacific road acquiring
the Northern Pacific. The interviews
were sent, but were not published for
some reason, possibly because the views
expressed did not coincide with those
advocated by The Globe. The follow
ing is the substance of the interviews
that were secured by The Globe CORES
pendent, and indicate the sentiment of
Mankato business men on a very impor-
tant subject:
R. d. Hubbard said that he did not
like mergers as a general proposition,
as what is needed is competition, but he
was hardly prepared on such short notice
to discuss The Globes question. The
tendencies of mergers is to repress all
competition.
w. L. Hixon said that he had not Civ
en- the matter much thought, but he was
of the opinion that the acquiring of the
Northern Pacific road by the Hartman
interests would not have much effect
upon the northwest. He did not think
that it would be any disadvantage, as
the system would hardly want to build
up one section that it passes through at
the expense of another. He was against
mergers as matter of principle, and did
not think that this proposed one would
do any good, and did not see what would
be gained by it.
F. M. Currier said that the way that
he sized the matter up it was simply a
question of whether Hill was to continue
to control both the Northern Pacific and
Great Northern, or whether Hartman
would get the Northern Pacific in addi-
ton to his Union Pacific At present
there is no competition, and he could see
no harm to the northwest if Hartman
should acquire the Northern Pacific, as
that would bring about competition. 1t
was too large subject to discuss upon
short notice.
H. A. Patterson said that he did not
think that the consolidation of the
Union Pacific and Northern Pacific roads
would be detrimental to this part of the
state, because it would create competi-
ton between two lines now controlled
by one interest. With the Hill interest
having the two roads it now controls,
it is difficult to secure rates and SER
vice except such as Hill feels willing to
give. Were the Northern Pacific to come
under the control of the Union Pacific,
there would be apt to be competition,
and both roads would give greater con-
sideration to the wishes of their pat
rons.

tonna earlier in the evening say their
names are Joseph Lewis and Alex Stew
art.
Lewis, who admits that he did the
shooting, is seventeen and halls from
Texas. Stewart is fifteen and his home
is in st. Louis.
Lewis says that the body of the dead
man can be found in car No. 1904 or
7402-he is not certain which-of the
Omaha road in a Rock Island train. Five
of the tramps were in the car when it
was discovered that one was well sup
piled with money. Lewis says he then
pulled gun upon the stranger, demand
ing his money and making threats. He
denies that he intended murder and says
that as he waved the gun about it was
accidentally discharged, inficting fatal
wound.
He then fled, he says, without wait
ing to rob the body, and did not get a
cent, the only thing about the trans
action which he seems to regret. He
and Stewart then concealed themselves
until the train pulled out, when they
again boarded it, going northward.
Lewis is hard-looking customer. He
says he is of Spanish American descent,
but appears to be an Irishman. He has
been coming north in the spring for sew
eral years, and says he has worked for
three summers in nursery at Albert
Lea. He came north again this year to
work at the same place, but the season
being rather late, started on the road for
adventure. He and Stewart will be tax
en- back to Owatonna today.
A revolver was found upon Lewis, al
though he had made an effort to con-
ceal it by slipping it down his trousers
leg. Officers found that it had been but
recently shot. Loaded shells were also
found in his pocket and around his
belt.
The boys say the murdered man was
about 40 or 45. He had dark hair streak
ed with gray, and his mustache was also
turning gray.

FINE DOG POISONED.

From tuesdays DAILY.
This morning the fine. pointer hunting
dog, owned by John @. Thro, in some
way was poisoned near the family home
at Ill South Broad street. The dog was
about three years old and was well brok-
en- into the hunt 1t is not thought that
the dog was doped by any person with
malicious design, but he probably found
some poisoned food that was lying some
where, possibly some that had been pre-
pared for rats.

Stephen Thorne has decided to be
candidate for reelection as clerk of the
district court, subject to the action of
the Republican primaries. He is now
serving his fourth term, having first
been elected to the office in 1883. During
this time he has gained rich experience
in conducting the affairs of the office,
and he has gained the reputation of be-
ing one of the most efficient clerks of
court in the state. 1t is an office where
experience is particularly desirable, as

sition must of necessity be largely car
