GLAD AT SUCCESS
OF RUSSIAN ARMS
LOCAL MUsOovITEs CELEBRATE
THE DEFEAT OF NAPOLEON.
Today Is Their Christmas and They
Ransack History For an Appropriate
Reason for National Rejoicing =
Heroic but vanquished Defenders of
Port Arthur Remembered in Prayers.

With bowed heads and sad faces, the
800 members of the Greek Russian or
thodox church, Seventeenth avenue NE
and Fifth street, stood this morning,
during the two hours jubilee Christmas
mass. This is the Russian Christmas,
for the Greek church calendar is nearly
two weeks behind the usual chronology.
Praises for the car and Russian arms
which have been sung on this day for
centuries sounded today, rather as re-
QUEEN, and yet, the service was not al
together one Of sadness, as this date is
the holiday on which the victory over
Napoleon in 1912, is celebrated. Those
present today declared that victory but
the omen of the final success Of the
Russian arms in the present war. With
streaming eyes they prayed that victory
might come to Russia in it's darkest
hour.
Services this morning were con-
Quoted by Rev. Kanstantine Popof.
He was arrayed in an elaborate robe Of
white satin embroidered with silver.
On his head he wore the sacred purple
hat of the Greek church. The choir
was composed Of members of the church
and the boy choir of the Russian col
lege. Thte services began at 10 am.
and closed at noon with prayer for all
Christians and special prayers for the
late defenders of Port Arthur, for
President Roosevelt and the American
nation .... .,E L.. !:

HOT RIVALRY FOR PLACES
BEST COMMITTEE CHAIRMAN
SHIPS COMMENDED FOR BY
LEADING HOUSE MEMBERS.

Speaker Clague Is improving the leg
islative recess to complete his list of
committees, and it is understood that
they will be announced Tuesday morn
The speakers life has been made a
burden by members importuning him
for places. Some Of the. assignments
arc still in the air. For instance, the
Craftsmanship of appropriations, sup
posed to be slated for Elaner E.
Adams of Fergus Falls, may drop else
where.
It is not usual to give this important
post to a new member, and altho this
was done in 1908, when Ambrose Tighe
of St. Paul was chairman, Speaker
Clague may decide to recognize some
older member. w. H. Putnam of Red
Wing is possible selection, having
been member of the committee at the
last session. The post may come to
Hennepin and be assigned to W. P. Rob-
erts.
He has been a candidate for the ju-
dietary, and his fight for the place at
the head of this important committee
is understood to have knocked the
chances of w. w. Bardwell, chairman of
Hennepin' IS house delegation, who was
Ia favorite for the appointment. On
account of the conflict in Hennepin it
is believed that the place will go to
w. B. Anderson Of Winona.
Messrs. Bardwen, Wallace, Wash
burn, De Laittre, Fosseen, Nolan, Tim,
berlake and Chamberlain are said to be
booked for good committee places. The
universities representative on the ap-
preparations committee will probably
be Mr.. Timberlake, and Mr.. Chamber:
lain is said to be slated for chairman
of teh university committee.

More than 500 Journal newsboys were
entertained at the Lyceum theater last
night thru the courtesy of Manager
Dick Ferris, and it is safe to say the
popular Hennepin avenue playhouse
never held a more appreciative audi

sincere applause.
"Under Two Flags was given in a
praiseworthy manner, and the entire
Ferris company outdid themselves to
give an enjoyable evenings entertain

and made great hit. The newsies in
the gallery cheered and shouted them
selves hoarse and answered sundry in

names used. Marie L. Ware was the


United States commissioner, and she
had been indicted on numerous counts.
Land officials have been indicted, but
in the whole list of indictments it is
charged that the Mitchell machine was
always represented. The special agent
Of the department, who made the in
vestigation, reported that no prosecu-
tion would be undertaken by the fed
eral attorneys, who were creatures of
the machine. A special prosecuting at
torney was designated by the depart
ment of Justice and the removal from
office Of the United States district at
torney for Oregon, Mr.. Hall, is the
result Of his failure to cooperate in the
prosecutions.
Senator Mitchell has had a most re-
markable career. He was born in Wash
ington county, Pennsylvania, June %,
1885. His name was John Mitchell
Nipple. The Nipple family was an OBJ
scure one. He was married in Washing
ton county and admitted to the Wash
ington bar Because of domestic diff
cu1ties, which resulted in a divorce, he
left Pennsylvania and went to Cali
fornia, where he changed his name to
John Nipple Mitchell and began to
practice law. In 1860 he moved to
Portland, Ore, and within one year
was elected corporation attorney fol
Portland. He has continued to hold
office since, except for the period Of
four years, when the refusal Of part
Of the Oregon legislature to take the
oath of office made his election to the
senate impossible.

WHO NAMES STAFF
FOR NEW CAPITOL?
COMMISSION CUTS SLICE FROM
GOVERNORS PATRONAGE.
Assuming that It's Control of the Build
ing Extends to Administration, the
Board Names Employees Whose Ap-
pointment Was Supposed to Lie
Wholly with the Governor.

Is the state capitol commission usurp-
ing the appointive rights of the govern
or Of the state? T.
This question is now leading topic
among officials at the capitol.
It was expected that when Governor
johnson took the reins of state he
would have an army of Janltors,
watchmen, engineers, fremen and gener-
al help to appoint for the new capitol.
But the state capitol commission has
relieved the new governor OF all Worry
by making, such appointments without
even consulting him. AS
The capitol commission has assumed
the right to make all these appoint
ments on the ground that the building
is still in the hands of the contractors
and the commission and has not been
turned over to the state. At the same
time there is law which gives these
appointments exclusively to the gov
ernor. 1t is conceded the building can
not be completed inside, OF two years.
This being true, under the capitol com
mission s Interpretation OF the law,
their appointments will hold all thru
Governor Johnson's term.
Not only has the commission appoint
ed the usual employees, but it has seen
fit to garrison the new state house with
Il number of special police, and has as
slmed the further authority, belonging
usually to the governor, of giving out
the special privileges, such as cigar
stands.
The attorney general may be called on
to rule on the matter.

Six little, words averted impending

fulctlon OF the year, the Junior pam

nimble wits, of the juniors and the
prompt use Of the telegraph Gloom has
changed to joy and the platcidity of
the campus has been resumed, together
with attendance at classes.
4 The pan Hellenic dance must close
at 1 o'clock in the morning. These
were the words which caused the So

sociation to drop to $3.50. Captain
Guild, custodian of university build

armory at l Q clock, and despite the ar
guments of the Junior men and the
pleading of the fair Junior co.eds, the
veteran captain announced his deter
mination to obey orders. His instruc-
tions were positive and at l o CLOCK
the armory would be cleared Of dancers.

citation was called and the rumor,
spreading around the campus, almost
caused a complete cessation of the

logical plan Of relief could be suggested
by the members of the association who
has assumed the financial responsibility
for the ball. If the ball closed at I

was clear. Even if the dancing com,
menced at $3.50 instead Of at $3.50, a
scant FIVE and half hours of dancing
could not be considered. There was only
one way in which the success of the
party could be assured, and that was
thru the countermanding Of the presi-

before they can afford to give atten-
ton to block signaling. That is, they
must arrange to carry more passengers
before they can afford to make safe
the passengers they are now carrying.
But, in Tact, would it actually cost
SO much money to block-signal the roads
Of the United States7 The number of
collisions during 1904 was more than
six thousand, and the loss in property
was more than $5,000,000. We can only
guess how much more the railroads lost

Perhaps another $5,000,000. Now, this
$4,000, 900, or it's far greater part,
could have been saved by. the block
system: In ten years collisions cost
the railroads about $1O0,OOO,OOO. This
amount would come very near covering
the cost Of Understanding the roads
Of the United States. Here, then, is
a simple problem: # the railroads
were now to install block signals, at
the end Of ten years what will have
been the actual cost to the railroad

the lives that would not have been lost
and Of the injuries that would not have
been suffered.
