PIONEERS HOLD Big
MEETING TONIGHT
Association Anxious to Assist
in Erecting an Audi
tOrium

The Junior Pioneers association has
definitely determined that the fiftieth
anniversary of the incorporation of the
city of St Paul shall be celebrated in
a fitting manner that will be apparent
TO the citizens during the next half
century. Whether the monument TO be
erected commemorating the fiftieth
birthday of the city will take the form
of a permanent triumphal arch or, bet
ter still. a new auditorium. will be de-
term1ned at a meeting of the committee
of $50 citizens which will take place
in the council chamber in the city
hall tonight
Judge E. w. BaZille, a member of the
association, and one of the most earnest
advocates of the semi-centennial cele-
bration, stated yesterday that while the
city was one year late in publicly re-
membering that st. Paul had reached
the half century mark, the celebration
would not be permitted to run over
another year, but would surely occur
either in May or June
Il am in favor" said Judge Bazille,
'of erecting some memoSal that will
appropriately mark the substantial
growth of the city since il was incorpo
rated. 1t has been suggested that an
arch be built, which would be we'll
enough in its way. but l am in favor.
IL 1t is found possible, to give St. Paul
an auditorium that will speak for the
next fifty years of the progressiveness
of her citizens at this date.
Il feel certain that if the $50 citizens
OF the anniversary committee will take
hold of this proposition and work in
conjunction with the Commercial club
that an auditorium will be an assured
fact this year.
In fixing upon the date of the celebra-
tion ii is understood that the citizens
committee will seriously consider join
ing with the citizens of the state in
celebrating the forty-seventh anniver-
sary of the admission of Minnesota TO
the union which will occur in ST Paul
on May II. 1t is expected that at that
time over 1000 old settlers will be pres
ent in this city from different parts of
the state. This matter will be taken up
by the committee tonight, and if
thought favorably of a committee will
doubtless be appointed to confer with
the committee in charge of the states
celebration.
Judge Bazille feels that a dual cele-
bration between the city and state
would be not only an occurrence to be
hailed from sentimental standpoint,
but that ii would have the effect of
waking up good many citizens who
nave been prone TO regard the city's
future welfare as an assured fact
A recapitulation of the labors of
progressive citizens which has largely
resulted in the building of such a city
as this" said he, will serve to en-
phasize the fact that if the city keeps
pace with her neighbor during the next
flfty years ii will only be through the
progressiveness of her citizens. And
what better way to begin the second
half century than by building an audi
torium?"

NEBRASKA HAS FIGHT
Independent Telephone Com.
panies Attempt to Bust Trust

While Kansas has been fighting the
Standard Oil, and Wisconsin is going
after the railroads, Nebraska has been
doing little trust busting of her own.
While it is not national in extent, still
ii is burning local question. 1t is
the telephone trust. which has torn up
the state for several years.
Perhaps no state has been so Vitally
affected by the action of a single tele-
phone company as has Nebraska said
Frank Nelson of Omaha, who regis
tered at the Merchants yesterday. THE
Nebraska Telephone company has had
an immense growth under the manage
ment of Vance Lane and has taken the
state by storm.
"On the other hand perhaps no other
state has offered as wide a field for
independent telephone companies as
Nebraska" said Mr.. Nelson. ''Nebraska
has the populistic spirit, and the CO.
operative plan has been tried along
all lines, but the telephone seems to
have offered the most extensive field.
The Nebraska Telephone company had
franchise into Omoha, and it was ex-
elusive. That was where they held the
whip hand over the independent COM
panies. AS Omaha is the chief city in
the state, ii follows that a telephone
company that cannot offer a connection
with Omaha could never become a
braSka.
The Independent companies got
busy about year ago and consolidated
into a state association, combining
practically all OF the independent COM
panies. But they were still shut out
OF. Omaha. Then they went into the
legislature to fight the big company.
The weapon they used was prac-
tically the same as that which the in
dependent oil dealers wanted in Kan
sas-they wanted to make telephone
companies common carriers. For this
purpose what was known as the Fow-
Ter bill was passed after much fight
ing. The bill makes telephone COM
panies common carriers. and they must
transmit messages delivered TO them at
a reasonable cost. The independent
companies say that they will now be in
position to fight the big company on
equal grounds"

The Electric LiRht Plant.

Some complaints of defective lighting
of the streets have recently been heard.
and in the interest of the public a rep
resentative of this paper visited the
chairman of the board of managers and
was assured that steps are being taken,
as rapidly as the means at the board s
command will allow, to perfect the sys-
tenn, with every prospect that in short
time every defect will be corrected and
the system made as effective as is pos
sible.
Some street talk, limiting at extrava-
gance in management, and apparently
started for Campaign purposes, was
also referred to, and the chairman,
(who, with the other members Of
the board, are well-known citizens
of the very highest repute), insisted
upon displaying the books and re,
cords of the board, which were found
to be carefully kept, showing the board, 8
transactions in the minutest detail.
These books and records are open to
the inspection of any citizen, and if any
one can find any fault with which to
charge the board, it will appear therein;
Such inspection and investigation is, of
course, invited and will be welcomed by
the board at any and all times.

on his forehead was noticed and the
doctor cut 1t off. Immediately Franks
nerves became steady and he walked
home in a normal condition.
He called at DIR. Robinson's office
yesterday to have the bandages re-
