Henry HaIberstadt Discovers a
Burglar at Work in the Base
ment of His Bake Shop
CROWDED STREET AIDS THIEF
Home of n. 8. Robinson, on Prairie
3A Avenue, Entered by Porch Climb
ers Monday Evening, But
No Va1uab1es Taken

| Henry Ha1berstadt, the West Main
street baker, encountered a burglar
at work in the basement of his shop
late last night, but the burglar es-
capped uncaptured, as he whipped out
revolver, and placing it at the tenn
| pie of the proprietor of the bakery,
forced him to stand aside while he
rushed through the front door of the
bakery to the street, and although the
street was crowded with people, the
burglar overawed the crowd by flour
ishing revolver and escaped. His
identity is not known, but the entire
police force and force of deputy
sheriffs are at work on the case and
they confidently expect to bring the
burglar in before nightfa11.
It was just before 9 o'clock that
4 Halberstadt heard someone walking
about in the basement of the building
and went down to investigate. He
| noticed that the door leading to the
bakeshop had been unlocked, and as
he was going toward the door he
found a man in hiding behind the
door leading to the basement of the
Parker meat market adjoining. Hal
berstadt shouted, Here's burg1ar!"
and just at that time Mr.. Burglar
stepped out from his hiding place and
in defiance shouted, eyes, you are
right; throw up your hands," Then
the burglar emphasized his demand
by placing the muzz1e of the revolver
against Ha1berstadt's head. Ha1ber-
stadt backed up the stairs with the
| burglar IN pursuit. AT the top of the
stairs the burglar said, ''Now stand
with your hands up and don t ho11er!"
Halberstadt again complied with his
orders, and the burglar quietly left
the store through the front door.
Then Halberstadt shouted and the
crowd on the street attempted to take
up the rush for the man, but the re-
volver was again brought into play
and the burglar overawed the crowd.
One man, more daring than the rest,
attempted to hur1 a brick at the fellow,
but it fell far short of the mark. The
anal al AAOA III dAOAS IAAC dCPOI pat
form, and lodged behind freight
car and was gone. Good descriptions
of the man have been given to the po-
lice, but the case was not reported
until this morning. It's thought that
the police will be able to find some
trace of the man during the day.
Halberstadt insists that he was not a
Kenosha man. Nothing of value was
taken from the basement.
Enter Bankers Home.
In the meantime it leaked out this
morning that the home of Henry B.
Robinson, president of the Merchants
and Savings bank, was entered by
porch climbers early Monday even
ing. The case was reported to the po-
lice. The men managed to get on the
porch in front of the Robinson house
and enter the upper rooms just after
10 O'Clock. They were heard walking
about the rooms on the second floor by
Mr.. and Mrs. obinson, whowere in the
lower rooms, and when Mr.. Robinson
started upstairs they escaped through
the window. Nothing is missing from
the house, and it is thought that the
men were frightened away before they
| had gotten to work.

PRESIDENT ELLIOTT SAYS:
IF CONGRESS ACTS HuRRIEDLY
ON RATE QUESTION, IT MAY BE
SORRY.

President Howard Elliott of the
Northern Pacific, who returned Sunday
from Washington and New York, says
regarding the railway rate discussion:
ftIt is complicated, far-reaching
subject. Moreover,it concerns the pub
lie, the shippers, quite as much as it
concerns the railways. Any ill-advised
measure hurried thru congress might re-
suit in much injury to private as well
as to corporation interests.
ssBut many are mistaken. I think. as
to the attitude of the railways. We are
not averse to the prohibition Of personal
discrimination. On the contrary, we
are most desirous ourselves to avoid
such discrimination 1t is the aim Of
every railway manager to get as far
elimination. There is, in point Of fact,
very little rate discrimination in favor
of particular shippers at the present
time.
oft is often overlooked that the
railway rates in this country are not
excessive. Compared with rates in
other countries, ours are decidedly low.
Interested persons should examine the
reports of the interstate commerce COM
mission, which demonstrate clearly
enough that rates on our railways are
not at all exorbitant.
81 might say, too, that shippers in
this northern section are particularly
fortunate. The rates on our northern
lines are considerably less than the
rates for corresponding traffic on the
Southern Pacific and other transcon
! tinental lines that are south of u.s.

WAS RUSSIAN
CHURCH, FIRED?.
WILD RUMoRs FOLLOW MYsTERI-
GUS BLAZE.
Father Popoff's Recent Interview
Anent the Massacre in st. Peters
burg Last Sunday, Cited as Provo
cation to the Liberal Russian Ele-
lnent- 4

st. Mary's Greek Russian Orthodox
Catholic church, Sixteenth avenue and
Sixth street NE, was badly damaged by
a fire yesterday afternoon. The blaze
was of the most mysterious origin and
wild rumors are afoat in the Russian
settlement in this city that it was Of in
cendiary origin.
The burned church was owned by the
Russian government and its priest, Rev.
Konstantine Popoff, is employed by the
Russian government. When the mas
sacre occurred in st. Petersburg Sunday,
he was interviewed and his statements
have caused q great furore among the
whom are found in the local settlement.
Yesterday afternoon when the church
was vacant, smoke was seen issuing
from the roof. A fire alarm was sounded,
but before the department. could respond
the roof was a mass Of flames. The
cold was bitter, while a high wind
famed the flames into greater activity,
and before they were brought under con
troll, the rear portion of the structure
was mass of ruins. The loss is said to
be $4,000.
Father Popoff' IS interview which gave
offense to the liberal Russians of the
city was as follows.
Russia can afford to lose a few. hun
dred Of this class. She will not notice it
at all. They are discontents, strikers
as understand the matter, for little
better pay and little shorter hours
and are trying to enforce their demands
by force: They will never succeed il
the world. No revolution could be start
ed in Russia which would make itself
felt in which the people who work the
land Of the kingdom do not help.
II doubt very much if Russians out
! side Of St. Petersburg and the larger
cities, are paying any attention to thu
trouble. These riots are not uncommon
in the greater European monarchies

WANT BIG LIVESTOCK
BUILDING AT THE FAIR

The plan for a large livestock am
phitheater at the state fair grounds,
which the State Agricultural society is
urging, received sa.#vigorous boost last
night at the meeting Of the twin city
committees Of the. Minneapolis and st.
Paul Commercial clubs. The commit
tees advocated the appropriation by the
legislature Of from 100000 to $250,000
for the purpose. s.s,~y4
It was pointed out that the livestock
exhibit at the fair is one of it's best
drawing cards. Hitherto it has been
given in hinsy tent, which was no
protection against Indictment weather.
This has caused SO much complaint as
to endanger the reputation Of the big

CITY WANTS TO BOND
ITSELF FOR .$l,000,000

At a ameeting Of the waterworks
committee yesterday it was decided
to ask the legislature to authorize the
issuing Of 81 100000 in bonds voted by
the people at the last election, for the
construction of a new fltering plant at
Columbia Heights. ,5.
The committee decided that the an
nual surplus of the department would
not be enough to pay for the plant and
also pay for the extension Of the
mains to new. parts of the city.
An agent of an eastern filtration COM
pany endeavored to get the committee
to ask for bids. The members decided,
however, that such move would be
useless until the legislature gave. them
power to get the funds. <, 80,
City Engineer Rink er formally turned
the North Side Pumping station over to
the committee. Until two months ago
the plant was in charge Of the company
that installed it. Since then the city
engineer has had charge Of it to see that
it was in good working order. Every,
thing was found to be satisfactory.
