PADEREWsKI. THE PIANIST,
COMES IN THE MIDST OF AN
OTHER TRIUMPIIAL TOUR.

morning in his private car. coming di-
rectly from the west, where his four
performances in San Francisco, given in
the large auditorium Of the Alhambra,
were completely sol out, and the enthu-
slasm over his genius reached the same
high pitch that has attracted SO much
notice in his previous tours. 81.
While. Minneapolis is showing its ap-
probation Of the visit of the poetic
Polish musician, it has not shown the
symptoms Of a real craze, such as st..
Paul has done. The ticket office there
was besieged the whole day yesterday
by anxious people and at closing time
last night, there was still long and IN
satisfied line. The strenuousness Of the
business had worn out three ticket sell
ers during the day.
Sometimes the very exuberance of the
enthusiasm over Paderewski leads cool
headed people to question whether he is
really SO much greater than other plan
lists, but the soberest, sanest criticism
has acknowledged him as pianist
without superior, with a few possible
equals, and endowed witha1 with won
derful personality that not only creates
this unbounded admiration, but adds
a quality to his art that is possessed by
no other pianist.
If there is any. change noticeable in
added breadth and richnesss, such as
comes with ripened experience. He has
not been spoiled by adulation, but pro-
crosses steadily in greatness.

WALTER HURLBUT DEAD
BANKER EXPIRES
WHILE VISITING RELATIVES IN
CALIFORNIA.

Walter Hurlbut, a wellknown banker
and business man Of Minnesota, at one
time vice president of the National
Bank Of Commerce Of this city, died
suddenly last evening at the home OF
his sister, Mrs. T. II. Mcconnell, in
Los Angeles. A telegram was received
this morning by Minneapolis relatives.
While Mr.. Hurlbut had not been in
tives and friends were wholly unpre-
pared for this news. About six weeks
ago he left his home in Rochester, Mimi,
accompanied by his wife, for a trip to
Mexico and California. Several letters
written to a Rochester paper from
Mexico indicated that the trip was prov
ing a pleasant one. r.

made many friends among the business

and regard by his business ability and
fine personality. aa

for many years identified with the First

WOMAN A FENCE
FOR BOY THIEVES
RAILROAD DETECTIVES BREAK
). UP CAMPAIGN OF THEFT.
Boys Stole Wheat from Cars in South
east Minneapolis, Selling It to Female
Fence for 35c Per Sack, She Sell
ing It for $1.15 Per Bushel.

A systematic plan for robbing rail
road companies having trackage in
Southeast Minneapolis of wheat may
lead to the arrest Of two or three adults
on charge of inducing young boys to
steal. The scheme was unearthed last
night by Agents Watson and Blair Of
the state warehouse commission and
F. w. Herrick, special officer for the
Great Northern.
The revealing Of the plan resulted
from the arrest of Frank Walters and
Roy Cable, St. Paul youths, caught
stealing wheat from a Great Northern
car. At first the boys claimed that
they had been hired by q man to steal
the wheat and that they were to re-
ceive So each as their share. Afterwards
they confessed that this story was con-
cocted and that the only arrangements
they had made was to sell the wheat
to a woman who lives on Seventh street
Sc, for 35 cents sack.
Special Officer Herrick called on the
woman, who admitted that she had been
in the habit Of purchasing wheat that
sack and selling it at $l.15 per bnsi.el
She said, however, that she had not
induced the boys to steal the wheat, but
had simply provided a market for the
stolen goods. She could see no wrong in
that, but it is likely that her arrest
will be ordered today.
Young Cable and Walters were ar;
raigned in police court this morning and
pleaded guilty to petty larceny. Judge
Smith sentenced them to the state train
ing school, but suspended sentence Tor
one year, placing them under the care
Of a probation officer.

ELLIOT REQUEST
CAUSED SURPRISE
AMOUNT GREATER THAN HAD
BEEN EXPECTED.
Had Been Known for Some Time that
the Institution Was to Be Favored,
but There Was No knowledge that
So Large a Sum Was to Be Given.

Altho it was generally known in uni
versity circles that Mrs. Mary H. Elliot
intended to leave a sum Of money to
the institution, the news that 100000
had been bequeathed with which to
erect a building for philosophical and
engineering purposes and as a memo
rial to her husband, came as a great
surprise to the authorities. III
Mrs. Elliot died in Santa Monica,
Cal, Jan. 20, and her whole estate,
said to be worth $500,000,. was left to
Walter; j. Trask, an attorney of Los
Angeles, with the provision that he
should give 100000 to the University
OF Minnesota. IKE
Professor G. W. Hall of the university
was lifelong friend of the late DR..
Elliot, and in talking Of the bequest said
today: ~ had known for long time
the wishes of both the doctor and Mrs.
Elliot concerning the disposition Of this
estate. Indeed, the strong friendship
which had for years existed between
us led Dr.. Elliot, when first stricken
death, to explain his wishes and ask
that at the proper time give him some
well-considered suggestions toward car
rying them out.
" Realizing the embarrassment of the
state when SO many institutions fall to
its care, he hoped that he could ul-
timately save some capable ,resolute boys
from the serious difficulties which sur
rounded him in his student days and
enable them to reach their goal. Mrs.
Elliot had already placed $4,000 in the
hands of the regents, the income from
which has been used as a loan fund for
several years in the school Of mines.
Thru this fund a number Of young men
have been. graduated with high credit
who otherwise would have failed to re-
ceive their training.
"But memorial would not be com
plete without emphasizing not only Dr.
Elliot's high ideals and loyalty to the
state Of Minnesota, but the beautiful
womanly character Of Mrs. Elliot. For
years, while her husband was so nearly
helpless as to be a constant care both
day and night, this faithful and tireless
wife watched for his every wish and
saw to it that every needed comfort was
provided.
':Mrs. Elliot proved herself to be q
noble woman in her solicitous care as a
wife, and in her selfsacritcing dedica
ton Of the estate as a memorial to hel
husband IS worth. In any disposition
the university may make of the funds
placed in it's hadns, the beautiful char
acter Of the wife should have equal rec
ognition with the high scholarly ideals
of her husband. -
