G. G. Phillips proposed yesterday that
he would give TO the Elks lodge, if
they accept his proposition. so per
cent of all premiums of life insurance
policies written in this city, provided
that they in turn build the opera house
with that money. All that is neces-
sary is the favor of the lodge and its
backing; that is TO say, that the mem
bers will take insurance and urge all
their friends to do the same. Then if
$50, 900 is secured by the insurance
company in premiums $25,000 will go
towards the opera house funds. II is

pany, to play Romeo" and stage the
play. Not only this, but he prepared
the present version Of the play. The
result has ben apparent. Mr.. BelascO,

is cOnsOled by the fact that Mr.. Elsner
is actually in his service. and will APP

DELIVERED IN SILENCE
Tennessee Congressman Draws the
Literary Record on Roosevelt.

WASHINGTON, D. c., April TO-
me routine work on the general de-
1ciency bill was nearly completed by
the house today. The feature of the
day was speech of criticism on
Theodore Roosevelt, the Republican
presidential candidate" by Represent
atlVe Patterson, of Tennessee.
referring to a recent speech of Mr..
Grosvenor, delivered in silence" (the
speech was inserted under a leave to
PRINT and giving the record of Presi-
dent Roosevelt on the labor problem,
Mr.. Patterson referred to the surmises
IN some quarters that this speech ema-
mated from the White house.
After expressing his admiration for
the president as a ranchman, a soldier
and an author, Mr.. Patterson quoted
from the writings of the president to
show his estimate of the public men
Of the country, past and present. Mr.
Roosevelt had declared one-third of
the New York legislature, of which he
was member, was corrupt; that both
parties in that state were dominated
by corruption; while civil service COM
missioner, the president had condemn
ed a speech of Mr.. Grosvenor in oppo-
sition to an appropriation for that
service as either full of ignorance or
gross misstatement"
The presidents writings on former
presidents were quoted by Mr.. Patter-
son and in many instances commented
on as grossly unjust criticisms.

MINING OFFICIALS ARE
CHARGED WITH MURDER
Outcome of the Inquest on the Har-
wick Mine Calamity.

PITTSBURG, Pa, April 16. - The
coroner's jury in the investigation into
the Harwick mine disaster, in which

ing State Mine Inspector F. M. Cum
ningham and Superintendent of Mine
Milfred Sowden responsible for the
explosion Warrants have been issued
for their arrest charging murder.
The finding Of the jury is that the
explosion was caused by blown-out
shot igniting gas and coal dust; that
there was insufficiency of ventilation
due to the accumulation Of ice at the
bottom of the air shafts; that Mine
Foreman Brown and Fire Boss Gordon
were negligent and did not comply
with the mining laws; that Mine In
spector Cunningham violated the min
ing laws by allowing time to elapse
more than was required in making his
official inspection; that Supt. Sowden
violated the mining law in signing mine
foreman and fire boss report books.
The jury censures the Allegheny Coal
company for not attending to the mine
according to law.

OPENS THE NEvA
Winter Is Officially Declared
at an End i'm ST.

ST. PETERSBURG, April 16.-All
st. Petersburg assembled on the banks
of the Neva this afternoon to witness
the picturesque traditional ceremonies
connected with the opening of naviga-
ton. No steamer or other boat has a
right to cut the waters of the Neva
until the governor Of the fortress Of
st. Peter and st. Paul crosses the river
in a gilded barge to the Winter palace
and presents to the emperor the keys
to the stronghold, which are returned
to him with a cupful of gold coins.
Early this morning there was an un-
wOnted stir around the fortress. Sew
eral hundred tackles" belonging to
the marine guards, each as tall as
Frederick the Greats famous grena-
6iers, assembled in spotless uniform to
man the fiotilla Of freshly painted
barges, which We're launched and
manned at o'clock. The ceremony,
however, had to be delayed because
the Neva chose to send an enormous
ice foe to st. Petersburg. Gondoliers
wearing bright cOlOrs waited impa-
tiently aboard their gondolas, expect
ing to reap a harvest of Scent fares
for crossing the mile-Wide river, and
equally numerous steamboats, also
waited patiently to begin business.
BY o'clock the procession had left
the river gate of the fortress and
headed for the palace opposite. Gen.

occupied the first barge. The others

even the steel bars, here as elsewhere

tell his jovial jailers his name and
height and weight; the color of his
hair and eyes; his age; whether he has
a strawberry mark, and on which arm;
or a scar where little sister hit him
with her china dollie. He will declare
where his home is. whether he is mar
ried, and whether he's a citizen.
If he had time and opportunity to
examine the book in which all his an
sWers are recorded, he would be pleas
antly surprised again. He would find
that the jail of Ramsey county is hard

house Of detention; that nine tenths
