LAUNCHING PARTY
is BACK FROM EAST
Members Are Enthusiastic Over
the New Big Battle.
ship

Tired but happy, and with con-
science of duty well performed, the
launching party that went to Newport
News to see the battleship Minnesota
glide into the waters returned from
the east last night after an absence of
a week. They were unanimous in their
praise of the new ship as she appears
at present, and say that she will re-
fleet great credit on the North Star
state.
There were no accidents and no I'M
pleasant experiences. All of the large
party returned except Col. and Mrs. E.
S. Walsh and Col. and Mrs. A. H.
Poehler, who went to New York for a
brief visit The party left Washington
Tuesday night.
In the party were Secretary and Mrs.
Frank A. Day, Senator and Mrs. Albert
Schaller, Mrs. Gov. J. A. Johnson, Miss
Rose Marie Schaller, sponsor, and Miss
Lillian Mcmillan and Miss Constance
Day, maids of honor
I'VE had a most delightful trip" said
Secretary Day. Everything went off
according to programme. We were
most courteously treated by our repre-
sentatives in Washington, the ship
building company and by the officials
of Virginia. Our Minnesota pjeople at
the capitol did all that they could to
make us have pleasant time, and we
certainly appreciated that. The navy
officials were most courteous and ex-
tended every honor that could be paid
to the state of Minnesota.
Gov. Montague and the officials of
Virginia certainly won warm place in
the hearts of the christening party by
the hospitality shown us as representa-
tives of our state. Then we had trip
to Mount Vernon, entertainments in
Washington and everything was done
to show the state the honor she de-
serves.
The Minnesota will certainly be a
fine vessel when completed said Mr..
Day. THE ship will not be ready to
go into commission for two years yet.
From this one can have some idea of
the eXtensiveness of a modern battle
ship. But the Minnesota viii be star
in the navy, and one which all Of our
people can feel justly proud"
Al the luncheon given after the
launching, Secretary Day representing
Gov. Johnson, responded to the toast,
1.-THE Commonwealth of Minnesota"
Gov. Montague of Virginia responded
to the toast, The Commonwealth or
Virginia" There was an exchange of
courtesies from the northern and
southern states and the best of feeling
prevailed.
When the party arrived last night
Gov. Johnson was on the platform to
welcome them home.

LABOR M EN- SCORE
Protests Result i'm Amendment
of the VoIImer Bill

The protest of organized labor to the
passage of the Vollmer bill, to remove
all limitations to the employment of
convict labor in Minnesota, has resulted
in a decision to amend the bill to meet
in a measure the wishes of labor
The Vollmer bill was on the house
calendar yesterday, but was laid over
TO this morning. 1t will be succeeded
by a practically new bill which will
leave the present limitation of 10 per
cent of the men employed in any in
dustry in the state to the employment
of the inmates of the st. Cloud reform
atory. The new bill will permit the
employment of the Saltwater convicts
In the manufacture of articles not now
manufactured in the state. This will
include the manufacture of binders,
mowers, rakes, rope and a number of
other articles. While the amended
Vollmer bill may pass the house, it's
future in the senate is not so promis-
ing.
A delegation of st. Cloud men APP
peared at the capitol yesterday to enter
a protest against the Vollmer BILL
which would remove all restrictions as
to the number of men which may be
worked on the production of granite
at the st. Cloud reformatory. The dele
cation was headed by Mayor John N.
Benson, and included representative of
the business men, stonecutters', imple-
mentmens and granite producers as
sociations. Senator Brewer and Rep
resentative Lynch were enlisted in be-
half of the protest, and they forced
the compromise outlined above
The Zelch bill, authorizing the board
of control to use one-half the net pro-
ceeds of the Saltwater penitentiary
for the next year to make a start on a
factory for binders, mowers and rakes,
was passed by the house yesterday.
Those who voted in the negative were:
Bouck, De Laittre, Ekman, Fosseen,
Haskell, Klein, Lennon, Mannix,
O'Laughlin, Rosenthal,~ Selb, Stock,
Stone, Wallace and Ware. There were
65 votes for the bill.

GOVERNOR is GUEST
Junior Pioneers Greet the
States Executive

Five hundred persons crowded the
Elks' hall, in the Lowry building.
Fourth and st. Peter streets, last
night, on the occasion of the reception
and celebration given in honor of Gov.
Johnson, as the first governor who was
a native of the state, by the Junior
Pioneers association.
I. d. OBrien, state insurance COM
missioner, presided and gave the ad-
dress of welcome to the governor
Fathers of some of the members of
this organization" responded the gov
ernor in part, were responsible in
securing and retaining for this mag
nificent city the state capitol. Had 1t
not been for Joe Roulette, who in the
early fifties stole the capital bill that
sought to transfer the capital to ST.
Peter, / would today be Junior Pho
neer of st. Peter and a st. Paul man
would be governor. AS st. Peter, how
ever, was cheated out of the capital, it
is no more than right that ii should
seek to furnish majority of the gov
ernors of the state, of which / am one
of the four"
Mayor Smith confined his response
to an introduction TO a few words:
Il would indulge in "reminiscences -
he said, were 1T not for the fact that
see in the audience before me many
men Older than / am and who should
have been chloroformed long since"
Judges Kelly, Brill and Willis also
made short addresses, following which
a stag social took place. Robert &C.
han sang a topical song, Van De Koor
prestidigitated, Charles Ellsworth did
a German comedy act, Master Vivian
wore the carpet with a buck and wing
dance and Charles Mead gave a mu-
steal entertainment on various instru-
ments. Messrs. Black and Bush sang
coon songs and told stories, being
warmly encored. A three round exhi-
bition bout with the gloves between
Barton and Banholzer resulted in sew
eral narrow escapes from injury by the
referee, Ed Wallace, who declared the
match a draw.

HEALTH CERTIFICATE GRAFT.

One thing the next legislature
should do. and do speedily, is to pass
state quarantine law in which the
scandalous health certificate graft, be
ing perpetrated on the travelling pub
lie at various points on the railroads
will hereafter forever be made impos
sible.-Hot Springs News.
The health certificate graft has
been a scandal most everywhere IN
the state. When the quarantine was
first put on in Pine Bluff health
certificate cost dollar which was
so outrageously exorbitant that the
city council proceeded at once to put
a crimp in the health certificate busi-
ness by fixing the price at 25 cents
each AS the News says the legisla-
ture should provide so that in future
epidemics of contagious diseases, ne
cessitating a quarantine and the is
suance of health certificates, that
there may never again be any more
such graft as has been perpetrated in
various parts of the state under the
present quarantine.

funds for the establishment and
maintenance of the association.
The railroads would not thus spend
money on the Young Mems Christian
associations of the country If it was
rot profitable investment for them;
unless it was a necessary part Of the
cost of operation and maintenance,
they would have no right to use the
stockholders money for this purpose.
If it pays these corporations thus to
spend this sum for such a purpose,
it will certainly pay the business men
of Pine Blunff to invest in work of
Ike character in which they not only
have the direct interest of employers,
but the added direct interest of the
social welfare to animate them.
It may be said, deliberately, that
measured by its capacity for definite
tangible good, for material benefit and
civil progress, for social elevation
and moral growth, that nothing tC
which the men of Pine Bluff could
give their time, money and energies
can compare in value with the Young
Mems Christian association.
