MINISTERS WAITING FOR
NEWS FROM BULL FIGHT

Methodist ministers Of Minneapolis
are waiting to hear the exact facts in
the case about the bullfght at Cornell
university before censuring the presi-
dent and the college management if
they were responsible for such an af-
fair. DR.. P. A. Cool brought the mat
ter before the ministers today.
'1f this affair has been correctly
reported he said, 'tI regard it as
the most disgraceful thing that ever
marred the annals Of an American col
lege, and it should be met with pro-
test that will be heard around the
world. - This declaration was ap-
plauded and emphatically approved.
Dr.. Cool took the ground that while
leniency, Of Judgment Of individuals
was virtue, it did not extend to con.
doning their errors or even passing
them over in silence. "We ought to
have convictions and to express them, u
he said.
Rev. Joseph Hogg thought there was
too, much liberation and iberality in
modern life. Rev. Mr.. Graves spoke or
sion wandered from the subject, and
there was sharp tilt over the neces
sity for federation in judgment on fel
low ministers and for discrimination
between a man and his methods.
Rev. Theodore Heysham and Rev, A
T. Fowler gave reports of the Baptist
anniversary meetings in ST.. Louis al
the meeting of the Baptist ministers.
At the meeting Of the Congrega
tlonal ministers Rev. J. S. Rood reaf
a paper on "Wit, Humor and Irony
in the Pulpit,' advocating their use
by those having the natural Gift.

"The Pledgeling" is the name of the

and evening, May 81, by the members
Of the university class Of 'O5.
So much Of the carefully guarded Sc
cret has become public property. How
impossible to say, but it seems certain
that the story will tell Of fraternities,
sororities, limitations and things. Col
lege speculation is rife as to just how
much and what will be told, and there
have been several wild guesses as to
whom the jokes will hit.
A copy of the cast, including the

Criticism.

One Of Them Replies to G. L. MorrlPs
Criticism.
Fort Smelling residents are indignant
over a roast given Smelling soldiers by
Rev. G. L. Morrill, of Minneapolis in a
sermon preached May 7, in which he al
luded to the soldiers who visit Minnehaha
in such numbers as crowd Of salacious
scoundrels." Mr.. Morrill, said other hard
things about them which the people Of
the reservation take as slur on the army
in general.
Exception is taken to the strong Ian
guage of the sermon in a statement issued
over the signature Of Charles VanBuren,
sergeant major of the Twenty-eighth in
fantry. He asserts he has personally seen
intoxicated men at the park, but they
were civilians Of shabby-loolking class.
He also says he has noticed Intoxicated
| women there. Girls, he affirms, who are
at an age which should not permit them
! to be there without guardians, run thru
| the park to f1irt with soldiers or other
| men. .-. ........ .....
Major Van Buren says it is not to be de-
MED that soldiers sometimes get drunk.
But the police records fail to show a SOL
dier was ever arrested for any cause at
Minnehaha. He argues in favor of the
old canteen.

OVER GOMPERS
LABOR FACTIONS QUARREIING
ABOUT TICKETS.
LABOR
Charged That Kellington Crowd, Con-
trolling Them, Won't Give Any to
Men On the Other Side-Anti-Boy
cott Forces Will Meet Tonight to
Plan Fight.

The split in local labor circles ap-
pears to be widening over the visit to
Minneapolis this week Of Samuel
Gompers, president of the American
Federation Of Labor. ..rt>~
Matters have been leading up to a
division between the followers Of A. E..
Kellington in the flour boycott matter
and his opponents. The breach has been
decidedly widened, it is said, by the fact
tickets for the great meeting which Mr.
Gompers will address tomorrow night
in the Auditorium. ..
1t is charged openly that Kellington
plans to pack the meeting with his par
tisans. This theory, it is claimed, is
borne out by the fact that John Swift,
John Finley, John O'Donnell and other
prominent labor leaders who have taken
the other side of the question, have not
been able to get tickets Of admission,
and that Harry Dix, president Of the
state federation, has not even been
asked to be present.
Mr.. Gompers is to make the third
investigation of the flour boycott and
the conditions which attended the dec
laration Of the general fourmill strike
of nearly two years ago. Altho, the
manufacturers would appear to be vital
ly interested in the calling off OF the
DOyCOIL gu 1lOur, uO ulOFeIneuo c.pp1i oAo
ly has been made by the local millers
interested in presenting the phases Of
the boycott question.
Mr.. Gompers will meet representatives
Of both sides Of the question at the
West hotel. A. E. Kellington and his
supporters will endeavor to have the
boycott sustained and Harry A. Dix
president of the state federation; John
Swift, John O'Donnell, Mike Neary, and
others will endeavor to show Mr.
Gompers that the boycott is ineffective
and unjust. Labor leaders who are ad
herents of the latter cause will hold q
meeting tonight to consider methods fol
putting their side Of the question be-
fore Mr.. Gompers. -.-
William M. Regan, president Of the
Retailers association, has received tel
egraphic acceptance from Mr.. Gompers
of an invitation to. dine with. the mem
bers Of the organization at 6 pm. Tues
day night at the Hotel Nicollet. The
merchants wish to pay their respects il
an informal way to the labor leader a.
a distinguished American citizen ant
guest Of the city. ~
Mr.. Gompers will speak in St. Pau
Wednesday night, returning by specia
car in time to attend a session Of tn
Minneapolis Elks. Mr.. Regan, who il
exalted ruler, received a telegram from
Mr.. Gompers today giving his accept
ance Of the arrangement. .

Oscar Erstgaard, trustee Of the 'ses-

came into possession Of an additional
asset today to put in the safe for the
creditors with the $l7.o2 already, re-
ceived. The new asset is railway
ticket purchased by Cisarsky yester-
day in St. Paul for Mason City, Iowa,

cape.

fact. he has never been out Of sight of
a detective since May 4, and when he
quietly went over to St. Paul yesterday

he might return to Minneapolis to keep
his appointment at the United States

he is in the city, he has not produced

over forthwith, and unless something
is doing very quickly. he will be CON

LIVES OF PASSENGERS

Passengers on the Milwaukee train
which arrives over the Iowa & Mime
sofa division at 10:30 pm, had a mar
row escape from death in an avalanche
OF stones near Fort Smelling, Saturday
night.
AS the train was dashing around the
high bluff, several large rocks broke
loose from a ledge and crashed into the
engine, derailing it. The engineer
stopped the train before the coaches
left the tracks, but it was several hours
before the wrecking crew could get the
train into the city. The tracks there
are dangerously close to the river and
but for the presence Of mind of the
engineer the whole train might have
toppled over into the water.

BEGIN NEW SUIT
Judge Steele's Clients Want Schraps'
a'.- License Revoked.

Judge John II. Steele, today began a
new suit in the district court to Secure
the revocation Of the liquor license re-
Gently granted to the Schraps Catering
company. They allege that the license
was improvidently granted because it
runs to corporation instead Of an in
dividual, as provided in the statute. A
motion for restraining order to be in
force pending the adjudication Of the
case, will be argued before Judge John
Day Smith tomorrow. ...-
The old suit to, enjoin the city from
issuing a license to Schraps has been
dropped, as the new one, if successful,
will furnish quicker remedy. If the
plaintiffs petition is granted, then a
new application for a license will have
to be made and a fight will be made
upon the granting of it.
