SAILS TO ST. LOUIS
DoIph schiffmann Returns
From River Cruise

Dolph Schiffmann has returned from
his trip to ST. Louis in his river yacht
Roamer, and reports that he had a
most interesting and pleasant cruise
The official distance to the port of
St. Louis from ST. Paul is 728% miles,
and the trip down was made in seven
ty-four hours and thirty eight minutes
actual running time, about ten miles
an hour. and coming back 1171a hours
were consumed, making the average
rate of speed. about seven miles an
hour. Mr.. Schiffmann and his guests
acted as their own pilots, and are now
possessed of much valuable knowledge
of the river.
while L did not carefully inspect but
one other state building at the worlds
fair" said Mr. Schiffmann, "it seemed
to me that the Minnesota building
compared favorably with other state
structures. l went through the Wis
consin building, and must say that the
Minnesota building and the display
eclipsed that Of the Badger state. There
were many other state buildings less
attractive than that of Minnesota, al
though some of the smaller states had
more pretentious structures. In many
ways the fair was incomplete, but when
left 1T was a great show and there is
plenty to be seen.''
On his way back from ST. Louis Mr.
Schiffmann acted as his own pilot
through the rapids beginning at Rock
Island, and with the assistance of
Thomas McDermott- came through
without mishap. The regular pilot
attempted to overcharge for his serv-
ices. Rivermen with knowledge of
the rapids say that the feat was a dan
gerous one.

HARTMAN TALKS OF
new STOCK ISSUE
Railroad Flnancier Says South.
ern Pacific's Plans Are
Misunderstood

E. III. Hartman, who is in Chicago as a
delegate to the national convention, gave
yesterday his version of the Southern Pa
cific's financial plans. which have received
such adverse criticism lin the stock mar
ket.
The proposed Southern Pacific pre-
ferred stock issue he said, is appa-
rently misunderstood. The present stock
will sell at 60 before a great while.
The plans now under way for South
ern Pacific improvements and extensions
will make the road second to none. The
shareholders of the company, by reason
of their right to subscribe for the proposed
preferred stock at the ratio of twenty
shares of new to every 100 shares of old,
virtually will be given a dividend of 8
per cent.
Despite the short selling in the market
the Southern Pacific common IS in a good
position. 1t will sell at $50 share AS
for the preferred stock, it will see S140
without trouble
Mr.. Hartman believes general business
conditions must improve soon Prosper
ity, he said, has its foundation on the
crops, and he considered the crop out
look most promising

FUND RUNS OUT
WheeImen Fail to Buy Tags
and Work Is Stopped

Work on the bicycle paths in RAM
sey county was stopped last evening,
and unless there is a more generous
disposition on the part Of the wheelmen
to purchase bicycle tags there will be
no more work on the paths this sum-
mer.
The sidepath commission is discour-
aged and is ready to let the paths go
by default, and the members say it
Will be nobody's fault but the wheel
men themselves. But little more than
$4,000 have been realized from the sale
or tags this season, and this amount
has already been expended in keeping
up the paths. There is no more money
available, and the commission is be-
coming disgusted.
There was a meeting of the sidepath
commission at the Office of the presi-
dent, j. w. Taylor, yesterday afternoon,
and when the situation was explained
to the members it was decided that
there was but one thing to do and that
was to stop work on the sidepaths.
1t was pointed out that in Minneapo-
lis more than $4,000 had been realized
from the sale of tags at so cents each.
while here but little more than 81, 1000
had been received, and the sale is pro-
crossing so slowly that it was deemed
unwise to attempt to continue the
work of keeping the paths in repair
The commission is inclined to blame
the police department for the poor
showing made in st. Paul. The mem
bers say that If the police would en-
force the laws and make arrests where
cyclists are found using the paths with
out tags that many more tags would be
sold, but until something is done to
compel the wheelmen to buy tags the
commission does not expect to be able
to accomplish much.

SLOCUM VICTIMS ARE
NEARLY A THOUSAND
House to- House Canvass Will Be
Made to Verify List of Missing

NEW YORK, June 22.-Although a
week has elapsed since the steamer
Slocum went to destruction on North
Brother island, the bodies of it's vic
Tins continue to be found in the wa
ters adjacent to the scene of the dis
aster. Today thirty-seven came to the
surface making the total number re-
covered $50. Of these 77S have been
identified. Despite the fact that the
police are bending every energy to-
ward getting complete list Of those
who went on the Inflated excursion,
definite figures as TO the number of
missing cannot be given. From pres
ent indications, however, 1t is apparent
that the death roll will total nearly a
thousand.
Tomorrow nearly 100 policemen will
begin a house to house canvass for the
purpose of verifying the list of the
missing.

ALPHONSE BELLAND
ACCUSED OF FORGERY
is Accused of Passing Bogus Checks
on Three SaIoonkeepers

Alphonse Belland, polite as his name
implies, is in the county jail charged
with forging the name Of Melby & Co.
to three checks.
1t is alleged that M. Belland caught
Frank Ritter, saIoonlxeeper, for $1,000,
and that he found the game working
SO nicely that when he got to the sa-
loon of Leo Piringer, Third and Wa
basha, he raised the ante, and got $2S.
Not satisfied with the returns he is
said to have gone to the saloon of j. f.
Gobiel, on the West side, and attempt
ed to pass cAeck for $40. Gobiel pre-
tended that he was compelled to get
change, and while out telephoned and
found the check was worthless. Bel
land was arrested, taken before Judge
Hine in police court and held for ex-
animation.

SCHOOL BOARD WILL
NOT RAISE SALARIES
Inspectors Turn Down Applications
Filed by Teachers and Principals

The board of school inspectors yes
terday gently declined to grant the ap-
plications of teachers for increases in
salary, the matter having been ar
ranged in secret committee meeting
and not being discussed at the regular
board meeting. This means that the
kindergarten direetresses and assist
ants will not receive the raise for
which they have been contending, and
that the individual applications are
also disallowed.
The resolution merely provides that
the same salaries will be paid for the
coming school year as during the past
year, and provides that principals pre-
siding over buildings to which addi-
tions are being made shall be paid
only for the rooms that are fully oc-
cupied, receiving increases as addi-
tional rooms are opened.
