SALOONMEN PUNISHED.
Those Who Didn't Close at Midnight
Kent Shut S1lndav

Several saloonkeepers in all parts Of
the city were forced to keep their places
closed yesterday, because Of an infrac-
ton of the midnight closing act.
It is known that the officers in the
several precinct stations carried out the
orders Of the mayor, but they would not
give out the names Of the saloonkeepers
who were punished. Two, however, ad-
mitted that they had received orders
to close. They were Sam Nelson, at
Cedar and Fourth, and the proprietor Of
saloon at 629 Central avenue. ~!
This is taken as the mayor 8 method
of punishment as heavy loss always
attends Sunday closing. just what
he will do for second infraction Of the
ordinance is not known.
Another liquor problem for the mayor
to solve will soon be laid before him
by. the hotel men Of the city. They
will endeavor to persuade him and the
city council to adopt the Boston idea
as a solution of the saloon closing
problem. This plan provides for spe.
cial license for hotels having more than
100 rooms. The license costs $500 more
and the hotel bar is allowed to remain
open as long as there is business. Spe-
cial police officers would keep a close
watch on the bar and report any case of
disorder to the mayor, who would have
the authority to revoke the license.
The movement is backed by many of
the hotel men, and conference will
probably be held with Mayor Jones and
members of the council license commit
tee some time this week..

A Timely Suggestion.

I Senator Washburn makes sugges-
ton today which ought to and no doubt
will receive consideration at the hands
! of the legislature and the capitol COM
mission. 1t certainly will be very en-
barrassing to us in the future If we Go
not put upon the walls of our new capt.
tol fitting representation of the most
glorious and thrilling event in our
state war history. The charge of the
First Minnesota at Gettysburg reflected
undying honor upon the name of the
American soldier; no more brilliant and
heroic charge was ever made by the
soldiers Of any country or any time
Beside it the famous charge of the Light
Brigade is unimportant. The men of
the First Minnesota were sent to almost
certain death and they knew it, but
they saved the day.
Of course the old soldiers of the First
Minnesota cannot press this matter
themselves and will not even suggest it
publicly, but how shall the rest of us
ever excuse a failure to write with the
artist s brush on the walls Of our CAPT.
tol the story Of their great deed? Here
are men living among us today who
were in that charge to whom no peculiar
tribute is paid; very few people probab-
1y know who they are, SO modestly have
they borne the honor which belongs to
them-let us show to these living before
they 90 hence that the state to whose
name =, they have brought such mex
tinguishable glory as soldiers Of Liberty
and the Union is ready to acknowledge
the debt in this appropriate and perma-
nent way. The new capitol is to have
large number of paintings Of histori-
cal and allegorical subjects by dis
tinguished artists; not to include in the
number, and place in conspicuous posi-
tion, the charge of the First Minnesota
at Gettysburg would be an oversight
that could never be explained on any
!, ground creditable to the people of this
state.

power be exercised.
Among the most influential and pow
serful of the railroad managers who
have come into line with the president
is Mr.. j. j. Hill. Time has been when
Mr.. Hill was not in sympathy with
Mr.. Roosevelt in any particular. Time
has come when Mr.. Hill lunches with
Mr.. Roosevelt, discusses with him the
matter Of railroad regulation and de-
clares his sympathy with the presi-
dents aim and in general approves his
plan.

Moreover, he has developed qualities OF
diplomacy, and has come to exercise
degree of influence over sentiment

AT THE THEATERS
Bijou-"The Female Detectives"


A noisy and aimless sort of melodrama
is that presented at the Bijou this week
by the Russell Brothers, in which the
girl detectives.
The Clancys chiefly displayed their YER
satility by lightning changes in their
feminine costumes, from which they were
always able to draw the deadly pistol
at the crucial moment.
The play starts out as a comedy, but
changes its mind just before the curtain
falls and becomes tragedy. At least,
there are two deaths in close succession.
There are two thieves in the play. One,
beautiful girl, is a kleptomaniac. The
other, a bold, bad man, is a thief for
revenue only. OF course, the revenue
thief gets an ascendancy over the girl.
Then there is the noble limb Of the law
in the form of a captain of police, with
whom the girl with the taking habit
falls in love. Add to this, a grandfather
with too great a fondness for the fair sex,
a granddaughter whose birthmark, sit
uated just between her pretty Shout
ders, is worth quarter of a million;
villains ad libitum, black, half black and
yellow, and the cast is nearly complete.
The setting IS as various as the plot.
1t alternates from such opposite poles as
the Waldorf-Astoria to the Moulin Rouge,
a dreadfully tough place in the Tender
loin, where they drink red liquor, ad-
minister knockout drops as pastime
and kill people with great nonchalance.
There is a great deal of fun in the
play. In fact, there is no danger of
overlooking the humorous parts. The fun
of last night was of a character to raise
| the roof. The talented company seemed
to think the noisier it was, the more
laughs would be elected, and a conscien-
t1ous effort was made to get the laughs
After various bloodcurdling and blood
thirsty scenes, in which the kleptomaniac
girl bewails her fate in several different
costumes justice is allowed to walk in
and take possession in the last act The
detectives accommodatingly walk off the
stage In time to let the villain get a knife
plunged In his back by the kleptomaniac
girl, who then shoots herself with a big
forty-four Colts. The curtain falls and
then rises, showing the victims strewn
about the floor. Luckily all is over.
James. Russell was i'll yesterday and
couldn't appear. His nephew, John Rus
sell, Jr., took his role.

A Significant Advance.

Among the gains of Minneapolis last
year there is one of no small impor-
lance in a financial way-the moving
up of the city to twelfth place on the
list in bank clearings. With total clear
ings for 1904 of $S43, 230,77 compared
with $741, 049,342 in 1903, Minneapolis
made a gain of 1877 per cent. 1t is
the largest gain among cities of the
Minneapolis class, as to size, excepting
only New Orleans and Memphis, cotton
centers. Some cities, notably Boston,
Philadelphia, Pittsburg and San Fran
cisco, fell off. Cleveland made a big
drop and permitted Minneapolis to pass
it. It is a showing that will do the
city an immense amount of good the
country over, and will carry favora-
bic advertisement to eastern investors
and others accustomed to use the bank
clearings as general guide to the state
Of activity in the west.
The coming year starts with the rate
Of increase over the corresponding pc
RODS still maintained. There is a
chance for Minneapolis to make an
other good gain this year. Two or three
years more should see the city in the
| billion dollar class. Indeed, if the local
banks continue to enlarge, and money
from the country continues coming this
way when temporarily idle, the financial
growth Of Minneapolis in the next few
years will be very great. 1t was not
alone the high price of wheat that
swelled the bank figures last year, al
tho that was a principal cause.

Our Thrice Armed President.

There is something going on in Wash
ington these days, which can hardly
have escaped the notice Of careful
readers Of the newspapers; something
which must have provoked a smile of
satisfaction wherever it has been noted.
This matter of peculiar interest is
the success with which the president
is bringing public men connected with
official life and with business life to
/ his way of thinking. The president has
taken up the matter of railroad regu-
lElation as the most urgent and pressing
business and has, for the time being,
T at least, laid aside such matters as the
tariff, the merchant. marine, the navy,
4 the Panama canal and other affairs of
Importance, and is concentrating at
tention at Washington and thruout the
country upon the railroad problem.
He calls into conference senators and
congressman, railroad men and shippers.
#t He solicits the advice of his official
counselors and confers earnestly with
men in public and private life, pressing
b all the time for solution Of the intoler-
L able situation which now obtains in

titles, the injustices and the burdens
borne by individuals and Communities,
Is along with the favors and advantages
accorded to other individuals and other
communities, suffered on the one hand
and enjoyed on the other, thru the op-
GRAFTON Of public-service corporations,
3 has appealed strongly to the president s
sense of right and fairness.
Nothing satisfies the president short
of a "square deal.' The phrase is
a favorite one with him and describes
his natural attitude of mind. It ex-
presses his determination that, so far
as may be possible by government inter
y ference, the general public shall have

Of the state made for the purpose Of
