ROOSEVELT.


CHICAGO. May 11.-Late yester
day afternoon committee of labol
men met President Roosevelt by ap
pontment to lodge a protest agains
tne employment of federal truOps
during the teamsters' strike. No one
was present outside of the President
Secretary Loeb and the labor com
mittee. Secretary Loeb later gave
out the following as to what took
place:
MIR Shea, after presenting the pro
test as spokesman for the labor com
mittee, said:
We are here as a committee to
our position in this controversy be.
tween the Employers association and
the Teamsters' association. We have
understood that they have asked your
aid for bringing federal troops into
Chicago. We want TO present our pc
tition to you"
The President read the petition at
once, and after doing so, said:
Il have read the petition which you
have presented to me, the conclusion
OF which is a request for hearing

CITY'S BUSINESS
ON VELVET NOW
BANK cLEARINGs $4o,5e9, 554.44 TO
THE GOOD.
Total to Date Is $685., 1880, 327.44, with
Seven Business Days Remaining in
1so5-$90O, 100000 Mark Will I'm
doubtedly Be Passed, and Minneapo-
lis Will Move Up Another Notch.

Minneapolis is doing business as the
year draws to close, on Nvelvet -
that to date runs up to $40 ,599 ,554.4
and ought to reach $67 100000 before
the year ends. The city is ahead OF
last year that amount in total volume
of business.
In 1904 the great gain was made
that moved Minneapolis up a notch in
the list Of important commercial CEN
tiers, the bank clearings for that year
running to $s43, 23o, 34S. High-priced
wheat and heavy transactions in grain
and -four, based upon levels varying
from $1.10 to $1.27 for No. northern,
had some effect in swelling the figures
in 1904, more money being required
movement and for working capital in
the big milling industry. It was, be,
lieved that, with a return of wheat
prices to the more normal levels OF
80 to 90 cents, the effect would be to
work against higher figures in bank
exchanges. in 1905. (-44-ss-.- .-;.L...-
This, indeed, had some effect, but SO
much more business was done in other
business lines that despite a relatively
of exchange in leading farm commodi'
ties and in -four, clearings are already
well in excess Of last year. ~

to Francis j. Carmody Of Minneapolis
and Washington, D. G., at Grace church

feeble as he went thru the ceremony of
giving the bride away. Mrs. Plat
looked very handsome in a brown
panne velvet. The church was comfor
tably crowded with friends of both fam
lilies. Mrs. Mark Hanna and mum
i Der of friends from w sshington were

NEGOTIATIONS WITH -
WALLACE NOT DENIED

Members of the state railroad COM

the prospective employment Of John 3.

did not care to discuss the matter, but
made no denial Of the facts stated in
The Journals exclusive story yes
terday.
The members Of the commission were
much displeased because the facts have
become public at this time, and said
that there was absolutely nothing to
be made public about the matter.
It is not known what salary has been
offered to Mr.. Wallace, who, when chief
engineer of the Panama canal, re-
ceived salary Of $4,000, and was I'M
derstood to have left for $685. 900 rail-
road position. AS the state has only
$4,000 year available for salaries
and expenses Of the work, it is not
likely that more than $4,000 will be
offered to Mr.. Wallace.

The other part Of the report is that
Robert McMullen, street commissioner
OF the fourth ward, is aware Of the
scheme to overthrow him and will at
tempt to circumvent it by having his
name presented for the position by an
alderman Of another ward. Mr.. Nc
Mullen, aside from being a competent
official, has many warm friends in the

LAND MEN SENTENCED
Royal B. Stearns and William Horsnell
Convicted Of Land Frauds.

The federal jury sitting in st. Paul
yesterday found Royal B. Stearns. and
William Horsnell guilty Of conspir-
acy to defraud the government out of
10000 acres Of public land in South Da:
kota. Judge G. F. Amidon sentenced
Stearns to one year and six months in
the Saltwater ,penitentiary and fine of
$1,000. Horsnell was given nine months
and fine Of $500. - ="
Stearns and Horsnell carried out their
frauds carefully. Horsnell would obtain
signatures to blank certificates Of ap-
plication by promising the signer two
trips to South Dakota and. 500 when
the title was perfected and vested in
him. He would then forward these
blank certificates to Stearns, who filed
them out with the description Of some
tract and filed them in the land office
at Chamberlain, s. D. The witnesses
called by the government, testified to
about twenty such cases, but the gov.
eminent claims that at least 100 Of
these fictitious applications were filed;
The prisoners were refused a new trial
and are held, Stearns on $4,000 and
Horsnel on $4,000 bail.

.KITTIES ARE LEFT
OUT IN THE COLD
FELINES WILL HAVE NO PLACE
AT POULTRY SHOW.
Cat Fanciers Are Aggrieved Because
Dogs Will Be Shown, but Secretary
George 10th Of the Minnesota Poul-
try Association Says There Isn't
Room for PUSHES This Year.

Following the announcement by the
management Of the annual poultry
show Of the Minnesota State Poultry
association that there will be no room
for cats this year, comes the wall OF
the cat fanciers, who declare that they
have been given "the double cross. -
This is emphatically denied by the as
ISOLATION, altho it is admitted that
there is little probability that there
will be a cat exhibit this year. The
cat fanciers say that after they were
allowed to proceed with preliminary
arrangements, they were told that there
would be no room for their pets, but
that even then room was found for a
dog exhibit.
In reply to this, George 10th secre-
tary Of the association, says, "There is
dogs last year. We are going to pay
more attention to them this year than
before, and unless we find more space
than is in sight at present, we will not
try to show any cats. This course was
finally decided upon at meeting Of
the association last night, when the III
present favored featuring the dogs and
the sportsmen g exhibit, rather than
t e9 k S;1E' the cats. 1t is merely change
"All people do not care for cats,
altho. they. have many admirers. In
addition, the cats are losing propo-
sition and have cost about $3.50 over
and above returns every year. More
people like dogs, as we found last year.
The sportsmen's exhibit will also re-
quire more room. The Evans exhibit
will be on larger scale here than was
shown. even in the Cincinnati or San
Francisco shows. We will show every
species Of native game bird as well
as the European and Asiatic species
we have shown for two years. These
two features will appeal to more people
than will the cats. If there is room,
tho, we will exhibit the cats. To Sc
| cure cats, we have had to give premi-
ums for practically every cat on exhi-
| bition and special premiums in addi-
ton. The dog exhibitors will take
chances to win on points.
! There is every indication that the
| show this year will eclipse all previous
exhibitions Of the Minnesota associa.
| ton, now recognized as the best apd
| biggest In the country. Over 5000
birds are expected from all parts OF
the country. The management believes
that the attendance will beat that of
last year, which ran over $1,000. The
auditor Of the association has reported
the expenses Of last years show as
| $5,462.05. The show this year will be
held Jan. 23 to 80.

GRAND JURY REPORT
WILL CONTAIN J0LTS

From reliable source it is an
nounced that the present grand jury,
when it finally reports, will administer
a forcible jolt to some features Of re-
cent city business transactions. It is
admitted that the jury has several inn
portant questions under consideration
that may not result in the return Of
indictments, but which may be made
public by means Of the time onored
report. Judge Dickinson, to whom the
present grand jury reports, is opposed
to general reports not backed by in
dictments and has emphatically voiced
his objections, but oven this may not
prevent a report.
Among the matters under considera'
tom is The incandescent lighting con-
tract over which the mayor and the
city council are locking horns. It Is
known that witnesses have been asked
to tell what they know Of this contract
Six aldermen are mentioned individual
ly as in line for some attention. at the
hands Of the grand jury, either by
means of the report or otherwise. Some
of those mentioned have been similarly
honored before in connection with other
council deals.

WANT TO HOLD MONEY
SINKING FUND COMMISSIONERS
HESITATE ABOUT TURNING
OVER 100000 TO CITY.

Inasmuch as ali the assets of the
sinking fund are invested in bonds and
other erest-bearing securities the
sinking fund commissioners are adj
verse to handing over 100000 to the
city to the credit Of the permanent i'm
provement revolving fund, as directed
by the district court. Gilt-edged secu-
missioners have often found out when
looking for investments for the spare
cash which comes to them periodically.
To turn over proft-making invest
ment at par is not agreeable by any
means and the commissioners hope that
the matter will not be pressed until
the cash has come into the fund thru
the collection Of taxes. This probably
will not be until next June. At present
the aldermen have two plans for spend
ing the roll when it comes into their
hands: One is to pay off a portion Of
the claims for rebates on special as
sessments. This sum will pay about
one-half Of the claims already allowed.
Another plan is to use the amount
for taking care of the asphalt streets.
There is no hurry in this respect, how:
ever, as no definite plan has been pro-
posed.
No decision has been reached rel
ative to the kind of material to be
used in repaving the downtown streets.
The city engineer recommends asphalt
under the present conditions, but there
is strong demand for creosoted wood
block paving, which has proved SO de-
sirable elsewhere in the city. AS it
is likely that considerable time will
elapse before an agreement on the ma
terial can be reached and work actually
begun, the chances are that the sinking
fund commissioners will not be called
upon to sacrifice their dearly price
securities.
