LITTLE FOR H0LD.UPS
GROCER MOE GLAD DAYS RE-
CEIPTs WE'RE LIGHT WHEN HE
PEERS DOWN GUN BARRELS.

There is one man in Minneapolis who
is glad he didn It do a rushing business
Yesterday. He is B. j. Moe, a grocer
at 1929 Ninth street S, and the fact
that he didn It have as much cash as
usual when he was held up in his store
last night and robbed of his day 8 re-
ceipts is the cause Of his happiness.
MI. Moe was counting his cash short
ly after 10 o clock when he was startled
by the command: "Hold up your hands
and III attend to the, cash.
Thinking that someone was playing a
joke, he replied without looking up that
he needed it himself and proposed to
"say, pal, this is no JOKE" came the
reply: IT'S your money or your head,
The grocer looked up to see tall
man covering him with revolver and
another man. standing outside the door
with another. revolver. Not caring to
put a price on his own head, Moe held
his hands high in the air while the rob-
Der took the money bag, which con-
tanned but $5. After complaining of
the poor business his victim had done
during the day the robber backed out
Of the door, joined his companion and
ran away. -
The police were notified and detec-
tives were sent out to look for the men,
who are thought to be the same ones
who have been terrorizing South Min
neapolis for the last three weeks.

TO COLLECT MAIL
EVERY 40 MINUTES
TIME AND LABOR TO BE SAVED
BY WAGONS.
New Service That Will Relieve Carriers
of Arduous Work and Save Time for
Business Man to Be Put at Work
Jan. ALI Big Buildings Will Be
Benefited.

BEGINNING Jan. l mail in the business
districts will be collected every forty
minutes for sixteen hours every day.
The collecting will be done by wagons
and the carriers will be relieved OF an
arduous task.
The district covered by this new serv-
ice is that lying within radius ;, OF tour
blocks Of the postoffce and Will be SO
laid out as to include all the ofhce
buildings and wholesale houses In the
downtown district. The need for such
a service has been felt for some time
and it's Inauguration will be a great
benefit to business interests.
The collecting will be done by two
covered wagons equipped with fiber,
board crates which can be taken out
and left at the postoffce when they are
full. These crates will not fill the en-
tire body of the wagon, but will leave
room for sack mail collected from the
wholesale houses. A driver and ear
rier- collector will man each wagon. The
carrier will ride on the rear step.
The first wagon will start on It's
rounds at am and will continue col
lecting until pm. The second wagon
will begin work at $50 and continue its
rounds till 10:30 pm. This will give a
sixteen hour service with two wagons
working during the busiest part OF the
day.
The contract for providing these
wagons and teams has been let to A
w. Harwood, who formerly had the con
tract for furnishing the screened wag
ons for the depot service.

MELVIN THOMPSON SUSTAINS
BROKEN LEG WHILE FLOWING
THRU FOOTBALL OPPOSITION.

Melvin Thompson, 23O2 Third street
n, 7-year-old aspirant for gridiron
honors, will not be able to buck the
line orIcircle right end for long gains
for some time. Last night he attempt
ed to advance thru his brother, Tommy,
and went down before clean tackle.
The remaining players, two in number.
piled on him, Just to make things
realistic.
When the scrimmage cleared away,
Melvin could not stand. A passing
mailcarrier picked him up and took him
home, where a physician who was called
discovered that the lad s left femur
near the hip was broken. The fracture
was easily reduced and the young foot
ball player will be on his feet again
in few weeks.
Melvin said today that he was not
playing regular football. Just practic-
ing, and that he did not think he cared
for the game any more. The lad 8
father, Martin Thompson, does not
blame the other boys who were playing
with his son. He said:
GA man broke his leg the other dav

accident is one that might happen
even if one did not play football. {

TO HAVE SAYINGS DEPT
THE NORTHWESTERN NATIONAL
BANK HAS DECIDED UPON A
NEW DEPARTURE.

The Northwestern National bank will
open a savings department Dec. /.
This decision was made yesterday by
unanimous vote Of the directors. The
department will be operated in the
banking rooms of the bank, where facil-
tiles are ample for the new departure.
The purpose is to offer the same terms
to savings depositors that are granted
elsewhere.
Altho this action is an innovation
among the clearing house banks Of Min
neapolis, the national banking law spe-
cifcally authorizes the opening Of saw
ings departments in connection with the
commercial business Of national banks.
1t is under this act that the Northwest
ern will conduct it's savings department.
The bank is simply adding another fea-
gture, in line with the action Of many
strong and conservative national banks
in other cities. .~
E. w. Decker, vice president, said
today in regard to this departure from
the order of things at the Northwestern
Nationals:
"After giving very careful consider
alton to the matter, our bank has decid-
ed to establish a savings department,
which will be opened on the first of
December next. At that time we will
be prepared to give the same terms to
customers on savings accounts as are
now offered by other institutions on the
same class Of deposits. All of the rules
and regulations governing money de.
posted in this department of the bank
will be cheerfully given to any who
wish to take up the matter with u.s.

TRIAL NEAR END

Arguments Begin In .Laramle-Egan MUIR
. .:--.+. s... der Case.
Long arguments and short flights of
oratory. furnished the attraction in Judge
Orr's St. Paul courtroom today. The
court will probably deliver his charge to-
night and Harry Laramie and James r.
Egan, accused Of numbering Policeman
Raverty will then await the verdict of
their twelve peers ... ... ...E.
Egan was one of the principal final wit
nesses. He claimed that he never had
been in ST. Paul prior to the murder and
swore that he first met Laramie at
Knapp, Wis. He detailed the alleged
movements of the pair up to the time OF
their arrest at Point Douglas. His cross
examination developed nothing of i'm.
portance., Laramie was recalled by the
state and admitted having served three
months in jail.
Hackdriver Gadboutt was called by the
defense, His evidence did not prove the
sensation expected. He said he was sc
frightened that his recollection of the
events of the shooting that occurred

POLICEMAN CALLS MR..
PIXIES LITTLE BLUFF

William z. Pike Of 1920 Harmon
place had the idea until last night that
the sight of a revolver would frighten
any member Of the police force.
John Larson of the municipal court
detail was compelled to show Pike his
mistake when he went to arrest him
on a charge Of non-support last night.
Larson, armed with warrant, went to
the Pike hone and was met at the
door by Pike himself, who ordered the
officer downstairs. "i'.'r
"Youll 90 down or I'll shoot you
full Of holes,' said Pike.
"Commence,' replied Larson, as he
sprang for Pike, who had drawn p
revolver from his pocket. Pike, who
was slightly under the influence of
liquor at the time. was no match for
the officer, who soon had him disarmed
and on the way to Central station.
When Larson arrived at the house
Pixies wife and family had fed from
home, fearing that he would harm them
while in his rage. Mrs. Pike. however
appeared against her husband in court
today and the case was continued until
tomorrow. The prisoner is held in $lOO
bail.

SAYS ROOSEVELT
PLAN IS PROPER
ATTORNEY GENERAL e. r. YOUNG
APPROVES INSURANCE PLAN.
Presidents Cooperation With United
States Insurance Commissioners
Makes Move a Concerted, Official Eff

Basis-Destruction of Life Insurance

Edward It. Young, attorney general,
believes the united action of the state
insurance commissioners with the coop
Grafton of President Roosevelt is the
best plan for the solution of the pres

York insurance companies.
" "This plan,' he said today, "has in
it the germ of the real solution of the
trouble. 1t makes the move concerted
official effort, and converts what is now
condition of chaos into a movement
with regulated, legitimate, official

assets involved. - ;,

would do the cause more harm than
good.
= ''It is not help lping the matter to act
rashly and in haste, as did Commission
er Vendiver in Missouri. 1t does no
good now to exclude any Of the com

business in the various states. What is

and place it nthe hands of those who
will act solely in the interests of the
policyholders. What is wanted is the
administration of the companies on a
basis where they will accomplish the
object of their organization. This mat

hitting some company on the head with
big club, will do no good. -:
"It is a very good thing that the
movement of the insurance commits

MAJOR LE0NHAEUSER
HAD NARROW ESCAPE

The Army and Navy Journal prints
recent correspondence from Camp Con-
nell, Samar, p. l., from which it ap-
pears that Major Harry L. Leonhaeuserr,
formerly military instructor in the uni
versity and well known here, with his
wife and son Watson, narrowly escaped
in the devastating typhoon that swept
over the Philippines, Sept. "a.
The major was stationed with Co. +,
Twenty first infantry, at Camp Carts
horne, Lavang, samar. The storm com,
pletely demolished his house, but all
escaped injury. One soldier, Artifcer
Joseph Rulon, Go. b, was killed; Other
companies Of the Twenty -frst-which
was recently stationed at Fort Smelling
had similar experiences, but there
were no other casualties. Gondara,
where Co. K, under Captain Morrow
was stationed was completely demol-
ished.
The disaster was one of the worst
that has occurred in those regions in
many years. Nearly all the native
towns in it's path were destroyed, many
lives were lost and farms left desolate.
Many boats were wrecked.

SAVE CASS LAKE
FOREST RESERVE
TWIN CITY COMMERCIAL CLURS
WILL WORK TOGETHER.
Vigorous Campaign Will Be Made
Against Proposed Repeal of Morris
Bill, Creating the Reserve-Clubs
Adopt Joint Resolution Asking that
Reserve Be Maintained as Consti-
$ tuted ..r=.-.s.. -... f..

Because the beautiful Cass lake for
est reserve occupies land tributary to
their cities, which they wish settled,
the business interests Of the towns of
Walker and Cass Lake seek to have the
MOTIFS bill creating the reserve re-
pealed: The business interests Of Min
mercial clubs of the two cities, have
adopted a joint memorial resolution
asking that the law stand and that the
Cass Lake reserve be maintained as
constituted by the creative bill. The
public affairs committee Of the Mime
apoliss organization took action yester-
DAY lndors1ng the stand taken by St.
Paul, and the. joint resolution will be
distributed widely thruout the coun-
try, especially to officials of cities and
towns In the Mississippi valley and to
all congressman and United States SEN
atOrs.:
The present agitation was started by
bill which passed the legislature last
winter without discussion and recon-
mended the opening of the reserve for
settlement and the repeal of the Morris
Dl1. The original plan was for ma
tlonal park forestry reserve about Cass
lake, but was afterWard modified to a
forestry reserve. The reserve consists
OF 5000 acres of fine timber. By
the provisions of the bill a certain
amount OF cutting is allowed from time
to time on condition that the slashings
and brush are removed and danger of
fire minimized. A certain percentage
OF the timber must be left standing for
seeding purposes, and it is said that
there has been fine natural reproduc.
tlon. Only trees of certain size are
cut.
The state has established a sanato-
rum for consumptives on the reserve,
and should the plan to repeal the Nor
ris bill win and the reserve be de-
stroyed the sanatorium would be worth
less for the purpose for which it is in
tended. 1t is also maintained that the
reserve is protection to the headwat-
ers of the Mississippi, which seems
| about to be. an important factor in the
future development of the state. .
If the repeal bill is introduced in con-
gress this winter vigorous campaign
will be made against it. The joint reso-
luton of the two clubs is strongly
| worded and will be in the hands Of
every member Of both houses when con-
gress assemblies.
