Talks to Omaha Newspaper Man
Wants to Reform.

Omaha, Neb., May 6.-Pat Grove, the
alleged kidnaper of Eddie Cudahy, son
of the millionaire packer of Omaha,
and for whose arrest rewards aggre-
eating $4,000 have at different times
been offered, walked into the office of the

Thomas O'Brien, proprietor of the
Henshaw hotel, of this city.
Grove stated that he had served in
the Boer war, fighting with the Beers.
He returned to this country after the
war, and has lived continually, &C
cording to his statement, quietly in a
South side fiat in Chicago.
He says that he is very tired of liv-
ing in isolation from his relatives and
friends, and wishes to reform and get
into business. He declared that he
would ask for immunity from the pen
itentiary and stated that he was ready
to accept the protection of the Omaha
police. He said that in case he was
permitted to remain in Omaha and
have indictments against him quashed
he would probably get into business at
once.

Sugar Factory Burns.

ST. Louis Park.-The factory and
sugar refining plant of the Mime
sofa Sugar company at ST. Louis Park
was totally destroyed by fire. The
loss is estimated at 100000, with in
surance of $4,000.
Flames were first discovered by
workmen in the roof of the labora
tory and before the village volunteer
fire department and the factory
hands could get a stream of water
playing upon the burning structure,
the flames had spread to the entire
roof and the building was doomed.
From the southwest end of the big
building where the flames originated,
they traversed the entire plant, COM
prising four buildings about 200 feet
in length and nearly as wide. A tele-
phone call was sent in to Chief Can
terbury of the Minneapolis depart
ment, and he hurriedly dispatched
District Chief Hernlund with three
engines, three hose carts and chemi-
cal to the scene, but when the local
apparatus arrived the building, ma
chinery and manufactured stocks had
been destroyed.

Transfers lose
chicago STRIKE.
EMPLOYERS MAKE DELIVERIES
ALL OVER CITY WITH
OUT OPPOSITION.
This Week will See the Strike Ended
or the Greatest Uphe avail Ever
Witnessed in the History of Chi
cago.

Chicago, May s-The week will
bring either an end to the transfers
strike or one of the worst industrial
upheavals in the history of the city.
The present trouble now OF two
weeks duration, has reached a point
where the business men appear to have
gained decided advantage.
This advantage means that team
sters must either yield or decide to ex-
tend the strike by calling out thou
sands of other workmen engaged IN
affiliated unions.
Commencing today the business men
will increase their efforts to bring the
strikers to terms
Arrangements have been made by
every business house involved in the
trouble to at least double their force
of non-union men during the day.
Last night it was said that all prep
arations had been made to start out
1000 wagons manned by non-union
men.
Each of these wagons will be guard
ed by deputy sheriffs or policemen,
and each one of these men has received
explicit instructions to prevent dis
turbances.
They are to use every peaceable
means in their power to quiet the
rioters, but if this means proves un-
successful, to use revolvers.
Yesterday the seven express COM
panies made deliveries in all parts of
the city.
Each of the wagons carried two
armed guards and in q single instance,
was asserted last night, had any of the
wagons met with opposition.
During the day, several of the firms
involved in the strike succeed in replen-
ishing their coal supply which in many
cases had dwindled down to nearly
nothing.
The Chicago Federation of Labor
met yesterday and passed resolutions
charging the Employers association
with conspiracy and asking that the
States attorney start an investigation
of their business methods.
The Employers association through
their chief counsel, Levy Mayer an
nounced last night that they would do
everything in their power to assist
the committee appointed Saturday by
Mayor Dunno to investigate the cause
of the strike

REFUSES TO SEND TROOPS
GOV. DENEEN DENIES REQUEST
OF CHICAGO DELEGATION.
Sheriff Barrett Assumes Command and
Swears in Force of Deputies
to Maintain Order.

Springfield, ILL.,, May 5.-Gov. De-
neen will not send state troops to Chi
cago until the civil officers find it impos-
sible to cope with the strike situation.
A promise to Investigate thoroughly"
and a refusal to commit himself until
then on the strike problem was the best
the committee from Chicago represent
Ing the employers obtained from the ex-
ecutiVe in a conference that began at
4:3O o'clock Thursday afternoon and
continued for three hours. Among 9TH
er things, Gov. Deneen told the repre-
sentatives of the Chicago business in
terests that the state is prepared to meet
emergencies as they arise, and that the
national guard is fully equipped and in
readiness to do it's duty on the shortest
possible notice.
Chicago, May 5.-Sheriff Thomas E..
Barrett, the chief peace officer of Cook
county, has practically assumed COM
mand of the forces that will endeavor
10 check violence and disorder in the
streets of Chicago incident to the team
sters' strike. Immediately after he de-
cided to take hold of the strike situa-
ton, the sheriff began swearing in dep
uties. More than 400 extra men were
added to the force, and were promptly
sent out for strike duty. The recruit
ing of deputies was in response to an
appeal to the sheriff signed by repre-
sentatives of nearly 300 business con.
Germs.
he
hundreds of policemen detailed in the
business district were kept busy break
ing up crowds which congregated on
corners preparing to attack wagons.
Serious trouble came before noon, then
there was lull until late in the af-
ternoon, when disturbances broke out
fresh. A total of q men and one WON
an were injured during the day.
Chicago, May 6.-The transfers
strike passed Friday into a phase that
had all the appearance of ebbing viru.
lence. There was falling off in the
amount of violence offered by turbu-
lent strikers and sympathizers, al
though it still was necessary for the
business men to send all wagons driven
by nonunion teamsters under heavy
guard.
Startling evidence has been brought
to the attention of the employers re-
garding many cases where members Of
the police department have abused
their authority to assist the striker:
and to impede the progress of the EN-
ployers' business affairs. The employ
| ers, in the statement made public
| openly charge that the police have dis
| regarded the orders of the mayor Il
| preserve the peace, and also that May
or Dunno, as demonstrated in the effec
an announcement that he would make
personal investigation of condition:
had in keeping down riots Thursday
afternoon, could have quelled the stree
mobs if he had taken decisive actor
two weeks ago.

Defective Eyesight.

st. Paul.-Reports received by the
state board of health indicate that
there are 10000 to 10000 pupils in the
public schools of Minnesota who have
defective eyesight, and that less thar
10 per cent of these wear glasses or are
taking any treatment to improve their
eyesight.
This condition is all the more re-
>markable when it is known that ow-
Ing to the nature of the test applied
by the teachers, only the more serious
defects are discovered. If the pupils
eyes were examined by oculists the
number showing defective eyesight, it
Is believed, would be much larger.
The reports received by the state
board of health show that 10 to Is per
tent of the pupils examined have de-
lective sight. In many cities the per-
tentage is much greater. For in.
jtance, in the public school at Tower,
Nf 200 pupils examined, Sc had defect
syesight. In Sank Rapids 43 had de-
fective sight of of 26O. In Red Wing

No More Mineral Leases.
No mining leases to operate in
the beds of meandered lakes
will be issued by State Auditor S. G.
Iverson for at least two years. The
recent legislature refused to pass a
law expressly authorizing the state
auditor to lease beds of lakes, and in
the absence of authority from the leg
islature the state auditor will issue no
such leases.
Scores of applications for leases COW
ering the beds of most of the lakes in
the vicinity of the iron range have
been filed with the state auditor. Two
years ago he issued prospecting leases
on a portion of the bed of Long lake
in St Louis county, town So, range 20,
in accordance with an opinion filed by
Former Attorney General w. B. Doug
las, who held that the state owned the
land and that it should exercise its
ownership.
Irrigation.
Minnesota and North Dakota are
taking steps to catch good
share of the immigration that is being
directed toward the northwest province
of Canada. The legislatures in both
states appropriated large sums for the
purpose of advertising their agricult-
ural, commercial and educational adj
vantages.
In Minnesota annual appropriation
is S15,O 900, and will be expanded by
State Auditor Iverson, who is ex-officio
land commissioner. Mr.. Iverson is
given authority to advertise the ad-
vantages of Minnesota lands within
and without the state and to prepare
such literature and statistics explain
ing the resources of the state as he may
deem advisable.
