BURNS STANDS UP
FOR The NEWSIES
rs GOING TO SEE THEIR RIGHTS
RESPECTED.
Indignant at Treatment Of One Little
Street Merchant by a Policeman,
He Carries the Matter to Superin-
tendent Conroy, but Won't Stop
There.

Has a newsboy any rights that the
police are bound to respect?' AS a
merchant disposing of his wares to the
passing throng in the Streets can he
be hustled along and told to move on
when he gets into certain territory
held by the police to be sacred, but
part of the public streets ali the same !?
These are questions that are raised
by John Burns, whose tendency to be-
friend the down-trodden has already
borne fruit in the drinking fountains
he has provided for dogs. Mr.. Burns
was seeing a friend off at the union
station to-day and on emerging was
besought by a small news merchant
to buy. He did SO, whereupon big
policeman not only ordered the
"newsy'' to get away and keep away
from the station, but emphasized the
order by hauling the youngster along
as far as First street by the slack Of
his coat collar.
Mr.. Burns was indignant. The
more he thought about it the more in
Iignant he grew. He hunted up the
policeman and asked why. The pa
trolman was at first disposed to re-
Burns kept his indignation we'll in
hand and asked why with increasing
firmness, the police declared that he
acted under orders.
Whereupon the indefatigable Mr..
Burns sought out Superintendent Con-
roy. Yes, said the chief, the men had
orders to drive newsboys away from
the union station. Why? Well, they
were nuisanc IS. They annoyed strang-
ers and others by trying to sell them
papers and offering to carry valises.
But, urged Mr.. Burns, hadn't they a
right to do so? He wanted a paper
and was glad to buy one Of the boy,
who, he was sure, had not been in the
least nuisance. The chief was I'M
convinced. They were nuisances, and
that was all there was to it. Mr.
Burns pointed out that they were nc
more nuisances near the union station
than they were at Nicollet avenue and
Fourth street, for instance. Why
chase them from one locality and not
the other?
Mr.. Burns suspects that some one
is trying to protect the newspaper
sales of the news company which con.
trolls the rights within the union sta.
ton and on trains, but he cannot un.
derstand by what authority these
rights can be extended to the public
streets adjacent to the station. He
even consulted the city engineer to bt
sure that he made his purchase or
the public street and not on the prop
erty Of the union station company.
And as Mr.. Burns does not readil.
Gle down." it looks as If a champion
of the "newsy'' had arisen who ma!
do more than merely ask uncomfort
able questions.

~ H.. ..,-.- World Wide.
Twenty eight months for a walk around
the globe-that is the assertion made by
William j. Geer sofs St. Paul. What mat
tiers it if his labels extend only to Red
Wing? He claims that horrid relic hunt
ers deprived him of the odds and ends
which his discriminating taste picked up
east of Suez. It is a shame, because his
story is a good one. s=E&
On Feb. 8, 1902, he left w. H. Sand
saloon, corner Of Eagle and Washington
streets, st. Paul, as a result of bet
between Sand and H. F. Hit. Since
that time he has covered 1916 miles.
It, 900 miles of which he travelled on foot
pushing a 4OO-pound truck. During his
trip kind people along the way supplied
the necessares and luxuries of life There
was no trouble anywhere in securing
transportation gratis. In fact, people fell
over each other in giving him the best
they had. ,@s&
OF course, these people include only
those Of Christian lands. The Turks de-
prived him of finger because he sought
to raise the American flag from the dust
And 10! When he reached the forsaker
city Of Chicago he was arrested as q
carbarn rotber.
Geer is thinking seriously Of becoming
one of the exhibits at st. Louis. If not
he will go back to the profession Of bar

WHEAT DOING WE'LL
In Fact, All Grains but Corn Are Fairly
Humping.


Humping.
Weather and crop conditions in Mime
sofa for the week ending yesterday are
thus summarized by Section Director Out
ram in the regular weather bureau bulle-
tin:
Rains fell in the Red river valley, for the
most part on the night Of the 9Th or morning
of the 9th. Elsewhere in the state there was
very little rain during the week. The temporal
lures We're low for the season on the 9th and
18th, but later in the week they were higher, the
highest reported being IS degrees at New. Ulm
on the 10th. The conditions have been favor
able for all the crops except corn, which needs
warmer weather. Wheat, oats and barley are
growing we'll, and they are stooling, tho on some
low lands there are good many weeds. Flax Is
growing, and the later sown is coming up.
Small areas of fax and barley are still being
sown on newly broken land Rye is beginning
to head. In most sections the crop is poor and
thin. Pasturage is generally abundant. Wild
hay promises good crop. Last years seeding
Of clover looks WE'LL and the later seedlings u
timothy promise better than old timothy sods.
Corn is still backward because of poor seed and
unfavorable weather, and q good deal Of replant-
ing has had to be done. The earlier paintings
are being cultivated. Early potatoes are in
bloom Apples and wild plums seem to have
fruited well. The strawberry crop is generally
good and 1t is beginning to ripen. Blackber.
ries and raspberries are in full bloom. Goose
berries are being marketed.

WAS THREE INCHES SHORT
That Fact Saved Murphy from Answering
Charge of Robbery.

Charge of Robbery.
Detectives at police headquarters
thought they had a good catch this morn
ing when Lee Murphy was brought into
the Bertillon room to be identified.
Murphy so closely resembled a man
wanted in Illinois for robbery that the
officers had visions of a new police gym
nasium that would be equipped with the
$500 offered for the latters capture. When
he was measured, however, he was three
inches too short. For once in his life
Murphy was glad that he was a small
man. Without further questioning he was
allowed to plead guilty to charge of dis
orderly conduct and was sentenced to ten
days in the Workhouse
