KING OF TR0ITERS IN
HIS MINNESOTA HOME

-
Cresceus. the king of trotting stall
ions, is in his Minnesota home. There
were no brass bands and celebrations to
greet the king when his private car was
sidetracked yesterday at the stables of
his new owner, NJ. W. Savage, at Saw
age, MINI. The former holder of the
worlds trotting record was placed in
one of the roomy. comfortable stalls Of
the Savage stock barn and will be sta;
BILE mate of Dan Patch and a host OF
other live ones.
Next summer Cresceus will be one OF
the star attractions on the Savage farm.
IT has not been definitely decided what
his years program will be-. whether
the great horse is to appear IN exhibl-
ton or retire permanently from the
track. He will be kept in condition
thru the winter and spring under the
direction of F. G. Hersy, who will di-
vide his time and attention between
the two kings, Dan Patch and Cresceus'

SEVERAL SALOON
!. men LIFTED ] Lid
PERSONS SEEN IN MINNEAPOLIS
SALOONS SUNDAY.
Police Discover Alleged violators ..
Sunday Closing Order and Will Give
Them Special Attention-Mayor Says
Law Prohibits Even Select Gather
ings on Closed Days.

Several saloons in Minneapolis were
open yesterday, and the proprietors
have been recorded in a little book at
police headquarters. They will receive
special attention from the police every
Sunday Hereafter.
1t is not alleged that the saloons in
question were open for business or that
any liquor was actually sold. The
places were used for sort of family or
neighborhood gatherings. Just what
transp1red is not known, for the general
public was not admitted, and only the
select could pass the keeper of the outer
door.
The police did not discover what was
going on until too late to make any ar
rests, but will be little keener next
Sunday: If the game is repeated, no
revoked licenses to be published on
Monday. 1t is immaterial whether
liquor is sold or not.
No Excuses Go.
Th law says that the saloons shall
be closed on Sunday, and according to
Mayor David P. Jones, this means that
no one must be admitted on any pre-
tence. No inquiry will be made as to
why anyone was in the saloons in ques-
tion and none will be made, fer no ex-
cuse will be accepted.
1t is believed that some Of the LIQUOR
dealers are under the impression that
they can entertain thir friends in their
places just as merchant could invite
friends into his store on Sunday if
he saw fit. It may be that they think
that the places can be used for enter
tainment provided no liquor is sold.
On both propositions the mayor says
they are badly mistaken, and will sif-
fer the full penalty Of the law is they
persist.
Distinction Difficult.
tt is not easy to draw the line al
ways. Some saloons have restaurant
attachments which compare favorably
with the best restaurants in the city,
having high-grade chefs and corps Of
walters. Two Of the swellest restaur-
ants in the city have bar attachments
in the same room. In these cases it is
- easy to draw the line.
Other saloons have fine cigar counters
in front and separated from the bar
rooms by partitions. These places ask
the privilege Of selling cigars on Sun
! day, but heretofore the requests have
been denied on the theory that the cigar
business is simply a side issue.

MAYOR JONES NOW ..=
,L0LLs IN LUXURY

Mayor David u. Jones occupied his
office today after occupying temporary
deskroom more than two months, in
which the decorators, painters and fur
nishers = is have been busy; The executive 9
and equipped like any Of the other
rooms in the city hall, is now surpassed
only by the council chamber in gor-
geousness. It has been frescoed and
decorated until no one would ever rec
ognize it again. The frosted glass win
dows have given place to brilliant spe-
cial designs in loaded glass.
The commonplace furniture of the
past has been replaced by twelve mas
sive mahogany and leather arm chairs
and two big leather settees. A fiat top
desk and a big, carved table,, both Of
solid mahogany complete the furniture
The walls are tinted in maroon and the
rug, is dark green. ~.

MAN And WIFE ARE
ALMOST ASPHYXIATED

Mr.. and Mrs. Ole Anderson, 313a
Cedar avenue, had narrow escape from
suffocation by coal gas while they were
sitting in their parlor yesterday after
noon.
Both were reading and did not detect
the odor Of the gas escaping from the
hard coal in the stove. Mr.. Anderson
began to feel sleepy and put on his
4oyercoat to start after his son, who
had gone to neighbor' IS house. He
thought the walk would arouse him,
but when he reached the door the sud-
den rush1of fresh air had a<peculiar eff
feet on him, and he fell forward on
Fhis face. He remained unconscious for
some time. Neighbors across the street,
seeing him fall, ran to his rescue.
In the meantime Mrs. Anderson had
tainted from the effects of the gas and
friends had to care for her also. A
physician was summoned and they were
both taken to neighbor g home to
stay until their own house was entirely
cleared of the gas. They were revived
in q short time and were able to return
to their home.
Physicians say that had not Mr.. An
derson started to go outdoors, both he
and his wife would have fallen ints a
death sleep and no. one would have
known it,.
