few years of the life of Minneapolis.
Mayor D. P. Jones is determined
that order shall be kept in South Min
neapolis If he has to go to the ex-
IRENE measure of dismissing every
policeman now working out of South
station. For some time South Mime
apolis has been the most unruly part
of the city. Police officers have re-
peatedly been pounded and beaten and
yet the rowdies cannot be gathered in
and punished 1t is said that the
necessary executive ability among the
officers in charge is not apparent. The
patrolmen work as they please, it is
said, and violations of police rules are
frequent. AS result of laxity among
these patrolmen and their superiors
Mayor Jones' ire has been aroused to
the boiling point. Said he, 1.-The police
of the South station will have to make
good or many of. them will be dis
missed. To help the force of that sta
ton extra men will be placed at
work.

on the Great Northern, was founG
dead beside the railway tracks in st.
Anthony Park early Wednesday,
There were no marks on the body, and
! it was apparent that his death was not
due to accident. 1t is believed that %
| died of heart failure. Mr. Johnson was
the conductor on a train which runs
between st. Paul and Willmar. His
train was being made up in the yards,
and he started out from the dispatch
er's Office with his lantern to board
his train. When he did not appear,
the members of the crew started to
investigate. They found his body near
the tracks, with his lantern beside
him, and notified the police and the

Miss Loretta Garvin, assisted by
Miss Frances Vincent (vocalist) and
Frances Pauley (violinist). gave a
piano recital in the Assembly hall of
Holy Angels academy Monday even
ing, June 10, which proved most en-
joyable to the large audience present.
The young pianist showed conscien-
tious preparation of the varied pro-
gram, and in her Interpretation of the
classics evinced a musical and techni-
cal mastery which may well be con-
sidered compliment alike to herself
and to her Instructor. The "adagio"
of Haydn was most exquisitely con-
! trasted by the fleeting Chopin Etude,
and were two of her best numbers.
The assistants contributed much to
| the evenings entertainment which
marked the closing of this seasons
! events in the academy.
I Minneapolis lumbermen will sub
scribe the major part of a 100000
fund for the endowment of chair in
the Yale forest school, to furnish the
study of forestry. Leading lumbermen
of Minneapolis, who are at present
owners of vast lumber tracts in the
West and South, express the utmost
enthusiasm concerning the plan, which
bears the direct Endorsement of Presi-
dent Roosevelt. At the annual meet
| ing of the National Lumbermenis asso-
citation in Chicago, several weeks ago,
Clifford Pinchot, forester of the United
States, in the presence of President
Roosevelt, appealed to the assembled
lumbermen for fund sufficient to en-.
dow a chair at Yale. Mr.. Pinchot urg-
ed that no class of Americans should
be more interested in the preservation
and proper conservation of timber
! lands than the lumbermen of the
country. He argued that more intelh-
gent conservation might arise through
the interest of the lumbermen than
from any other cause, because the
lumber workers had more complete
opportunity than any other class of
recognizing just where restrictive
measures ought to be applied. After
Mr. Pinchot's address the lum
bermen held meeting and decided to
raise 100000 for the endowment of a
chair of forestry. The Minneapolis
men present were particularly enthus.
