LLOYD TOLEAYE CHAMBER.
VETERAN TELEGRAPH MANAGER
WILL BE DISTRICT sUPERIN-
TENDENT AT ATLANTA, GA.

Changes in southern territory Of the
Western Union Telegraph company, by
which former Minneapolis man re-
ceives promotion, were announced to-
day. George w. Lloyd, for twelve
years manager OF the Chamber Of Com
merce office of the company and per-
sonally known to nearly every business
man in Minneapolis, becomes district
superintendent, with headquarters at
Atlanta, Ga. Since leaving Minneap-
oils, some two years ago, Mr.. Lloyd has
been general Inspector of the second
district of the south. The new posi-
tion represents a reward for long and
faithful service.
Three Minneapolis telegraph men
have gone out OF the city within the
past few years and have worked rap
idly to the front. I. McMichael, for
merly in charge of Minneapolis head
quarters of the Western Union, at Hen
nepin avenue and Third street., now
holds the position of general manager
Of the Great Northwest Telegraph com
agement centralized at Toronto. J.
Levin, who was assistant here to Mr.
McMichael, received a promotion some
time ago and has done good work as
general perintendent of the southern
districts of the Western Union, oper-
ating from Atlanta. Mr.. Lloyd is the
third Minneapolis man to 20 up on the
official register.
There appears to have been general
shakeup at Atlanta. J. M. stephens
and T. E. Murray, district superintend,
ent and assistant superintendent respec.
lively, have resigned. The company is
said to look with special favor upon
men trained in the commercial work OF
the northwest, who carry an energetic
manner and appear to have the faculty
Of inspiring energy in their subordi
mates.

LIGHTS
ARE DANGEROUS
MINNETONKA CARS ON CITY
LINE DAZzLES EVERYONE.
Huge 1900 O-Candlepower Arcs, Greatly
Intensified by Powerful Paraboltc
Refectors, Throw Shaft of White
Light for Blocks Ahead-Dimming
Device May Be Used.

How to dim the powerful headlights
OF the Minnetonka cars is question
that is perplexing the street railway
company. at present. Of the twelve
heavy, high-power Minnetonka cars
completed, only few are used on the
Minnetonka line. The others are used
on the Hennepin to Lake, Hennepin to
Thirty-frst, Eighth and Central and
other lines, as occasion demands. The
zling brilliancy.
In the country they are absolutely
necessary to make high speed safe, but
in the city their binding brilliance is
confusing and almost dangerous. An
official of the company said today:
''They are almost as bad in town when
the cars run at normal speed as they
are good in the country when running
at high speed.'
Experiments are being made with the
hope Of finding some device whereby
the light may be softened. At present
the lights are arcs of about 1900 call-
dlepower, greatly intensified by pow
erful parabolic refectors. The light is
projected far ahead of the car and OBJ
stacles on the track can be detected in
ample time to insure safe stop, even
when running at top speed.
~One of the workcars has been
equipped, as an experiment, with a
light which has both an arc and an or.
dinary incandescent. Tho arc can be
used in the country and when the city
is reached, turned off and the incan
descent switched in. The latter equip
ment, with the powerful reflector
would be more powerful than the or
dinary lights. but much less dazzling
than the arc. The objection to the
powerful lights in the city is the blind
ing effect on the eyes. Other approach
| ing objects are rendered invisible, anC
there is danger Of accident.
| The lake line is now in shape to han
die a large amount of heavy traffic
Tho not completed yet, the distributing
stations at Hopkins and Excelsior have
been temporarily equipped and are il
working order. The equipment of thu
Excelsior plant relieved the .Hopkin
station, which has been carrying mos
of the load from the Harriet loop, an(
practically doubles the initial power O.
the line.
Another addition that will increas
the power on the entire system will b
made at the main powerhouse at tn
east end Of the Tenth avenue bridge
A 1900 horsepower engine, .dupl1
cate Of the three now in operation /
the station, is being installed and wi
probably be completed and in workln
order by the first Of the year: Th
station was planned for five of thes
engines, and with the new one ther
), will still be one to come. The presen
addition will increase the capacity o
the station 33 1-3 per cent.

VAN AUKEN WOULD WED
HIS UNDIY0RCED WIFE

William J. Van Auken, now Of St.
Louis, formerly Of Minneapolis and
few other places, and known here as
URed' Van Auken, is again in the
limelight of publicity in st. Louis; IN
October Mr.. Van Auken set staid old
St. Louis to turning handsprings while
he tore about town in huge red auto
mobile at a forty-mile gait, the
chauffeur being held to the game by
the gentle pressure of revolver un-
der his fifth rib. The celebration was
said to be one Of joy over the prospec-
tive return of his wife to st. Louis after
a long visit with her parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. G. A. Warren Of SIT Ridgewood
avenue.
Following the October appearance;
Mr.. Van Auken went to the hospital
and was nursed back to health by his
wife. Now his gratitude is SO great
| and overpowering, according to the
press dispatches, that he wishes to re-
marry her. Mr.. Warren, the father-in'
law. says the whole affair is all huge
Joke and that the young people are
coming back to Minneapolis for Thanks
giving. They have been married seven

FLOUR SHOULD 60

s. r. VAN SAINT WANTS TO SEE
RIVER STEAMERS HERE.
Former Governor Says Minneapolis Pro-
duct Should Be Loaded on Packets at
Minneapolis Wharves, and Go Down
the River for Export, Breaking Bulk
only Once, at New Orleans.

II haven't seen anything for some
time that interested me so much as the
article in last Sundays Journal, stating
that down-river steamboats, would leave
Minneapolis Wharves Next Spring"
said former Governor S. R. Van SAINT to-
day.
1T is stated that Major Derby says
that boats drawing four feet of water
can pass the locks, and it is true that
the Diamond Joe boats do not draw
more than four feet. It will be a
can send flour down river to New Or
leans.' ..s
''The natural outlet for Minneapolis ,
great flour output is toward the south,'
continued Mr.. Van SAINT, "and it will
not be great many years before -four
will be shipped for export right down
the river, breaking bulk only once, at
New. Orleans. What is the sense of
shipping our export -four up to Duluth,
where it has to break bulk; Or TO Buffa-
10, where it has to break bulk, whether
shipped all rail or by the Erie canal,
and break bulk again at New York
All this handling Of heavy freight is ex-
| pensive.
| 1T is exceedingly gratifying to me
to note the manner In which Minneapo.
lis has become interested in this matter
Of a deep waterway south. Heretofore
the people have not realized the far
reaching Importance Of river improve
ment.
| Since the Franco-Prussian war France
has spent $S00,OOO,00O in improving hel
harbors, water front and rivers. Yet
France is only little larger than these
four states, and how much have they
spent9
"The little country Of Holland, from
which L came, has spent over a Thousand
millions in winning back her land ant
defending it from the sea. The Who'll,
country is made up of dams and dikes
as the names Of its cities show-Rotter
dam, Edam and Amsterdam.
IL hope this matter will be vigorous
~ pushed from now on until we achiev
the results for which we have long bee1
hoping.'

TOO LATE NOW
Relentless Turnoff Crew Will Call on
Water Del1nquents.


More than $4,000 was collected yes
terday from water consumers by the
city treasurer. This is the highest rec
ord made for water collections. All
claims unpaid yesterday are now delin-
quent, and the turmoil crew, will start
out as soon as the books can be checked
It has been the practice for many
wears to be somewhat lenient with de-
linouents and the turmoil crew has been
held back until all have had ample op-
portunity to pay their bills. The result
has been that chronic delinquents have
imposed on the department until there
has been serious interference with the
business. At the last meeting of the
Waterworks committee, instructions
were given to the registrar and super
visor to see that the turmoil crew was
started out as soon as possible after the
last day for the payment of water bills.

Wing Woo On, the Chinaman arrested
in Minneapolis several weeks ago under
the Chinese exclusion act, and whose
examination has been continued from
time to time, has been discharged by
order Of United States Commissioner
Charles Bechhoeffer of St. Paul. Yes
terday the commissioner filed his find

story of Wing Woo On, that from 1888
to 1895 he was bona-fde merchant in
Butte, Mont, was true, and that he
could not, therefore, have Registered
as laborer in 1893 and 1894, as al

to statement signed by the accused at
the time of his arrest, which seemingly
contradicted some Of his testimony.
The testimony showed that this state
ment was practically extorted from him.

OLD PLAYER KILLED.

La Grande, Ore. July S-Pete Dow ling. at one time one of the best known baseball pitchers on the Pa cific coast, was run down and killed by train near here. Bowling had been pitching for La Grande in the Bunchgrass league since the dissolu- ton of the Pacific National league. couple of weeks ago. but went to Hot Lake. health resort few miles from here to take treatment. He was walk ing on the track toward La Grande when the eastbound passenger came along. He was unable 10 get out of the way in time and was run over. His body was terribly mangled. the head being completely severed. Dow ling has been a splendid pitcher but drink got the better of him. Two years ago his record in the Butte club was such that he was drafted by the St Louis Nationals. He drifted into his old habits in St Louis. and drank so heavily that he lost his mind and was sent to the asylum where he soon re- covered and was discharged as cured.

FROM UNDER THE SEA
Crew of French Submarine
 Rescued From Death.
TWELVE TARS IN CRITICAL STATE.
Destroyer Sank at sidi AbdnIlah, i, Tunis, on Thursday MorninE-Mcn Had Been Entombed In Deep
 Water Ever since.

PARIS, July s.-The ministry of ma
 rine issued a communication last night
 saying that the combined efforts of French and German salvage tugs had succeeded in bringing to the surface the submarine boat Farfadet, which sank Thursday morning at the en- ! trance 10 the port of Sidi Abdallah,
 Tunis. The imprisoned crew when found and taken out were in a criti- cal state. but when water, provisions and fresh air were supplied to them they revived and were able to tell of their thrilling experience under the sea.
 The divers and hundred other men engaged ill the unequal struggle that resulted in the raising of the boat against the pressure of two atmos- pheres to the surface were astonished to find all of the crew still alive and breathing the last of the air that had been fed out sparingiy from the store in the after air compressors.
 The story of suffering they tell is horrible beyond description.
 Ignorant of what was being done to save them save for the reassuring taps of the divers al work placing the era de of chains about the submarine. the imprisoned men waited in dread si- lence for their rescue or death.
 Tears streamed down the face of their commandant when the men were brought ashore. Thousands lining the quays cheered the grimy rescuers who had labored without sleep. almost with out food. in this battle against time
 The men of the submarine Farfadet while under water communicated with divers who went down by knocking on the sides of the submarine for many hours. but al last the signal from the sailors ceased, and it was feared that the imprisoned men had perished.
 The full crew Of the Farfadet con- sisted of fourteen men and Ensign Robin. under the command of Lieuten- ant Rotier. Rotier and two of the sailors managed to get of the sub marine and reach the surface as she sank in the water. The three men were on deck at the time and thus were able 10 save themselves. although their dan ger was great. owing to the suction caused by the rapidly sinking vessel
