SHARP CONTRAST TO A WEEK

SUNDAY WEATHER

1"Oh; what a difference just a few
days make was the slogan Of the
pleasure seekers yesterday as they
shivered in the parks and at the lakes.
Either the prayers for cooler weather
were too strong, or else the change was
too much after the hot weather Of the
past week. At least everyone has been
looking to see how low the mercury
has sunk, and the weather is as much
a topic for conversation as ever.
However, altho most people have been
talking all day about wintry cold and
icebergs in Lake Minnetonka, no one
has taken it quite as seriously as the
steam this morning. The air around
the old city hall seemed to glimmer,
and passersby, when they felt the hot
blasts coming out Of the doors, yelled
"Fire!
Finally the smoke pouring out Of the
chimneys and the appearance Of the
perspiring inmates drew such crowd
that Captain Gooding made an explana-
ton. The officers had been waiting for
a cool day to do some repairing about
the furnace and to test the steam
pipes, and today has been the best OPP
portunity of the summer.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
COLLISION MAKES SERIOUS
WRECK, AND TWO OCCUPANTS
OF YACHT ARE PAINFULLY IN
JURED.

While running fast before the wind
IN the endeayor to dock at Tonka Bay
before the break of squat Saturday
afternoon, Tomahawk II, sailed by
Halle Reiter, met Tom Shevlin' s motor
boat. AS q sailboat always has the
right of way, Reiter kept steadily for
the dock. never thinking that the
launch would try to cross her bow.
Either the engineer of the Helenita
thought that he had enough leeway, or
someone lost his head, for the boats
crashed together.
Joseph Jaegersburger, the engineer,
was thrown from the motor boat. The
mast and rigging on the yacht were
carried away, and the motor boat
seemed to be caught in the rigging.
However, it tore itself loose and started
on a wide circle. The rudder rope had
been broken, and the engine was not
shut off. While the people on the sail
boat were working to rescue the man
in the water and bring about some or
der, the motor boat had turned in its
course and again bore down on the help
less sailboat.
The second crash was amidships, the
big engine driving the narrow bow of
the motor boat eighteen inches into the
side of the sailboat.
Telford Doerr was knocked from the
sailboat, and if life ring had not been
thrown him it is possible that he would
have drowned. AS soon as the boats
struck the engineer clambered over the
side Of the motor boat and shut off the
engine. The steamer Acte sailed to the
rescue and took off the ladies. The men
| stayed by the boats until they drifted
ashore On the Helenita were Miss
Glee Jamison, Miss Louise Jamison,
Tom Shevlin, Jr., and the engineer.
On the Tomahawk II. were Louise Bay
liss, Ethel McKusick, Mrs. S. P. Harris
Telford Doerr and Halle Reiter.
Examination today showed that the
yacht is practically out Of commission
for good and all. Last year it won the
championship at Lake Calhoun and was
! taken to Lake Minnetonka this year
When seen today Mrs. Harris was. I'm,
able to walk, her knee cap having been
wrenched loose, and Mr.. Reiter was suf-
fering from two heavy, gashes, one
above the knee and one on the ankle OF
his right leg.

Remnants Port Arthur Story.

Stoessel to receive a sword offered hin,
by French admirers receives some coun-
tenance from George KEENAN, s crit.

Arthur. He says the Russians made
radical mistake in their defense in per-
uniting the japanese to come UP within
a tunneling distance of their forts with
their trenches. He saw Japanese work

yards Of the principal Russian forts
while the Russian guns were sweeping
distant parts of the field and trying to
knock out Japanese batteries which

Whenever a fort would open fire upon
the men in the trenches the japanese
would concentrate a furious fire upon
THAT particular fort. The Russians
could not stand the reply, hence they
let the tunneling parties alone NH
However, it must q, not be assumed
that the Russians were cowardly. In
the same paper which describes this
failure of the Russians to appreciate

brought back their general severely
wounded and left 5000 men dead on
the field, having captured not a single

The truth about Port Arthur seems
to be that the Japanese captured it

Roots New Duties.

The inauguration of Elihu Root as
secretary Of state was conspicuous for
two things. The first was it's simplicity
The man whom Mr.. Roosevelt calls the
greatest man who has served a govern
ment in this generation was indicted
into what is easily the second position
of influence in the United States, and
maybe in the world by taking the oath
before the assistant librarian of the
state department. There were present
several newspaper correspondents, two
or three employees of the department
and one other person. It was the one
other person who recalled to the mind
of those present that this is America, {
and that besides directing the diplo-
macy Of a republic, Mr.. Root is ex-
pected to give out consulships to faith
full partizans.
The other person was Senator Dick,
who dropped in to tender his congratu-
lations to the new secretary, and to ask
for a bit Of patronage. Some newspa-
Epers have thought it Of moment to add
that it was an Ohio man who WWasnt Ell
Job from Mr.. Root before he had seated
himself in the chair of state. We do
not see anything remarkable about this.
It seems almost inevitable that it should
have been an Ohio man. s~ss- /. :

At Wonderland Park.

The Ceballos, twin brother and sister.
give a remarkable platform exhibition of
wire walking at Wonderland park this
week. They do not use balancing poles,
and as they are not high in the air their
act does not embrace the element of
much danger. Nevertheless some OF
their feats are thrilling. The girl, for
instance turns handspring on the
wire, and the boy leaps a table three feet
high. They also do graceful tumbling.
Asydia Maza, a Japanese woman, is a
remarkable contortionist and Wilfred
McGrath, a hand balancer, astonishes
with exhibitions Of strength. .-
The attendance at Wonderland yester-
day was $1,000. about evenly distributed
between the afternoon and evening.
Women and children constituted large
element and the best of order was main
tanned. The concerts by the Journal
Cadet band prove a prominent feature.

Senator Nelson on immigration.

I Senator Nelson of Minnesota con-

grafton as a factor in the great Ameri
can uplift.
4 The industrial effects of immigration
are set forth on the basis of the labor
value of the immigrant. Of these 3d.
100000 have come to the United
States and as each has contributed to
the value of the country, Senator Mel
son has made an effort to set a money
price upon the contribution of each.
Statisticians place q value of from $500
to $1,000 on each immigrant between
the ages of 1t and 20 years. Seventy
per cent of the persons who have come
into this country have been between
those ages, so that taking the lowest
estimate they have been worth to the
country upward Of $13 900, 100000. BE
Sides they have brought into the
country more than 5000, 100000 in cash.

would have been something less than
40,000.0Q0 people in America. and a
corresponding industrial condition.
This is what the immigrant has done
for the country. What the country has
done for the immigran is equally i'm
portant Thru the free industrial and
the immigrant has been enabled to ex-
change "humhle homes, low wages,

ceived from the immigrant. The i'm
migrant, in his opinion, has recognized
this obligation to his adopted country
The Transformation of Europeans Of all
kinds into Americans has been due in
a great measure to their gratitude for
the conditions that met them here. &
OF course one great factor in the as

America could place the immigrant or

cost and assist him to the world mar

with the crowding of immigrants into
cities different condition may arise
which will be less easy to deal with.
