All the lower end of town has a

OF Just having come from the barber.
Some of the haircuts have stairs in
them and some Of the shaves were
rough enough to spoil the skin of q
rhlnOceros, but the owners do not seem
to mind. -
The state barber board has been MAX
ing examinations of candidates who
wish to hang out their signs as tonso-
rial experts. There were between
eighty and ninety candidates, and each
was required to thoroly barber a vic
tim under the watchful eye Of the ex-
aminers.. Cards were sent out thru all
the lodging houses announcing that free
shayes and free haircuts could be had
by applying at the store where the ex-
animation was held. Attic the victim
would not be asked to pay for what he
got he was expected to take what he
got and carry it away without making
any fuss if it did not suit.
Every case that was turned out was
examined by the three members Of tht
board and the process produced confu
sion. Some Of the graduated victims
objected to being examined and thu
purpose of the entire gave had to b.
explained a dozen times. The ex
aminers are now going over the writer

when it is all over there will be perhap
thirty new BARRIERS.

HOMELESS CHILDREN
LEAVE STATE SCHOOL

Homeless, and suffering with tuber-
clllosis, Laura Brown, a 13-year-old col
ored girl, and Ruth Larson, aged S,
were turned out of the state school at
Owatonna today. The children were
sent from Minneapolis to the school
several years ago and have come to
think Of that as their only home. They
had become so i'll that they could not
be properly cared for there, and today
Miss Hannah Swindlehurst, a state
school attendant, brought them to Min
neapolis.
Whta to do with the helpless children
was question that bothered the Mime
apolis Humane society and the county
authorities. There is no provision for
such cases but thru some arrangement
they were finally admitted into the
city hospital and will be cared for there
for the present at least. Neither of the
children have parents who can OF will
care for them.

POLICE STOP FINE

NoRTHsIDE PUGILIsTs co
ELEVEN FURIOUS ROUNDS.
East End Of Twentieth Avenue N
Bridge Is Scene of Spirited Sporting
Event, Which Is Nipped in the Bud
by Bluecoats Only Three Spectators
Gathered In.

A prize fight with bare knuckles that
had already gone eleven rounds was
stopped by the police last night at the
east end of the Twentieth avenue N
bridge. !. -. :,
his had been planning the mill for sew
affair at Union Temple Monday night,
did not dampen their spirits in the least.
Last night it was quietly tipped off to
the sports that there would be some
thing doing at the end Of the bridge.
When the fight opened, fully three
hundred persons had gathered in field
on the riverbank, and promptly at 9
Q clock the fight was started. BY the
dim light of a few Pickering lanterns
in the hands of the active seconds, the
pugilists hammered away and the only
noise to be heard was the sound of the
blows.
For forty-fve minutes the fight went
at furious pace. Even at that time
the "pugs ~ were in good condition, and
into something good.
But, as usual, someone Clipped the
police, and a squad of officers from
the East Side station descended on the
crowd. The spectators and principals
took to the woods and only three men
remained to see the result. They were
promptly taken across the bridge and
locked up at the North station on a
charge Of disorderly conduct. They
gave their names as Herman Rolfe,
James O'Hara and Thomas Stowe.
They were arraigned IN police court
today and Stowe and Rolfe were dis
charged. O'Hara, who has been ar
rested before, was given a sentence of
ninety days in the workhouse and
granted a stay of six months
The police are now looking for the
fighters.

ARREST SHOWS SECRET
SERVICE MEYER QUITS.

Evidence of the bulldog tenacity Of
the government secret service when fol-
lowing suspected criminal is shown in
the arrest yesterday at New York of
%. H. Robertson, an associate of Edward
Vaughan, the bucketshop' man who
left Minneapolis suddenly last spring.
The officials evidently keep their
counsel well, for it was not suspected
until Yesterday in Minneapolis that the
government was following up the
Vaughan matter. Much criticism had
been expressed by the public over the
fact that the postoffice inspectors let
Vaughan get away from the city, altho
his office was under suspicion.
Testimony in the trial against Rob-
eertson ought not to be lacking. The
iron safe which was opened after the
Vaughan office force left the city CON
tanned a ledger with the names Of hun
dreds of victims, and the postoffice
had access to hundreds of letters adj
dressed to Vaughan, which were held
up under. fraud order.
J In addition to evidence which might
be cleaned from these hundreds Of let
ters, complaints from suspicious
clients were received from all over
the United States by the banks, the
rostofice and the secretary Of the
Chamber of Commerce.
Other evidence Of fraudulent inten-
tions is contained in the circulars which
Vaughan and his associates sent out.

Mayor Jones one of misery by their
opportunities for retention. The favor.

by delegations of more or less promi-

arguments and pleadings at the mayor.
Some of the most insistent and per

active usefulness-b like the Hhas-
been ballplayer, who every spring
comes around with the story Of being

of active service.
Naturally Mr.. Jones is somewhat pro-
voked. Everybody seemed to favor a
police pension fund last spring when
the matter was before the legislature,
The policemen, their friends and rela-
tives and the public generally aided
the passage Of the bill, but now there
is no one to pension.
