THIEF GETS SIX YEARS
JOHN DUSENBERRY SENTENCED
TO STILLWATER-A. L. GORDON
DREW WORKHOUsE SENTENCE.

John Dusenberry, accused Of numer::
Gus small burglaries, and convicted of
clothes from the Pantorium,
this morning faced Judge H. D. Dickin
son for sentence. The young man, who
has calmly passed thru all the stages Of
his prosecution and trial, showed the
same nonchalance which SO often indi-
Gates the hardened criminal. He
answered the questions Of the court in
clear voice, and had no objections to
offer to sentence being passed upon him.
W. E. Hewitt, his attorney, asked for
Judge Dickinson, largely on account
Of the defendants previous bad record,
was not moved to leniency and SEN
months in the penitentiary.
In his remarks to the court Mr.. Hew-
lit stated that the defendant was en-
gagged to a fine, respectable young wom-
an, who intends to IS tick by him to the
end.'-
Albert Anderson, who had pleaded
guilty to an Indictment charging grand
larceny in the second degree, admitted
that he had previously served sentences
in the reform school for petty larceny
and was sentenced to the state reforma-
tory.
A. L. Gordon, a young man with a
previous good record and who had
pleaded guilty to forgery in the second
degree, was recommended to the elem
ency of the court by Assistant County
Attorney J. F. Dahl. He was sentenced
to the county Jail for three months.

However this suits the liquor inter-
ests, the temperance workers are up
in arms.
There is an inclination among many
of them to regard the action as vul-
gar Joke, but others place the matter
III a more serious light and consider 1t
an outrage on public decency.
. Among those taking the latter view
is Walter N. Carroll, president OF the
Home Protective league, who said TO-
daX .rho aa,;hsra+a annointment of q
man constitutionally and by all his at
filiations unable to take an unbiased
view of the very matters referred to
the committee, is travesty on leg1s,
lative procedure and an insult to all
lovers of fair play. Every such com
mittee should be as nearly as possible
without prejudice. The appointment is
certainly unwise and unfair
It is agreed among all temperance
workers seen today that the appoint
ment will effectively shut off all tenn

w. j. Dean, prohibitionist, consid-
cred the appointment a sop thrown to
the liquor business to retain their sup

tai to any real temperance interest.
George w. Higgins welcomed the
move as a help in effective temperance
work: He said: "1he more such fool
ish and irritating actions are taken
the better prohibitionists and friends
Of temperance are pleased, for such acts

FIGHT HAS BEEN
ON TWENTY YEARS
AGITATION AGAINST GRADE
CROSSINGS AN OLD STORY.
Revived After Almost Every Disaster,
It Lives Short Life and Is Forgot
ten-City Engineers Office Chock
Full of Plans for Remedy-How Chi
cago Did It.

With the intimation from the Mil
waukee road at last night Is council
meeting that it will abolish it's deadly
grade crossings in Minneapolis, comes
the question as to how it shall be &C.
complished. Any plan means a heavy
expenditure of money, tho it will effect
q great saving of human life and suf
fering and will doubtless work saw
ing Of money in the long run.
The Milwaukee road has grade cross
lngs al the way from Sixth avenue S
and Third street to the Milwaukee
shops in Southtown and out on the
Hastings & Dakota line.
There are two possible remedies-to
lower the tracks and throw bridges over
the street crossings or to raise the
tracks and run the highways under the
tracks.
Engineers generally favor the ele-
Andrew Rinker, city engineer. "C6i-
cago, where millions Of dollars have
been spent in abolishing grade cross
ings, has almost invariably forced the
tracks upon embellishments. This plan
IS cheaper and generally more satisfac-
tory. Ordinary street traffic can be
cared for with a headroom Of thirteen
or fourteen. feet, while the railroads
now demand headroom of twenty -one
feet. Hence the tracks must 90 deeper
down when they are lowered than they
must be elevated if the alternative plan
is adopted.' 49,.
An Ancient Agitation.
It is fully twenty years ago since
agitation began for abolishing the Mil

ton has bobbed up periodically ever
since and at each recurring spasm tho
city engineer has been instructed to
prepare plans and estimates until his
office is now fully stocked with draw.
lngs, blue prints, plans and everything
needful for beginning work under eth
er plan Immediately.
One of the first agitations resulted
in the building of the Washington ave-
nue. vladuct: The people did not want
it and the aldermen who were respon.
their act. Another agitation resulted
in bridging the Hastings & Dakota
line at Hennepin avenue and one or two
minor crossings have been cared for
as at Fourth avenue S, but all the big
plans faded away soon after being pro
| posed.
At one time the chief officials of the
Milwaukee system had consented tc
; lower the Hastings & Dakota tracks
from Southtown junction to Lake Cal
houn but an alderman who thought the
railroad was getting too many priv
leges for nothing blocked the game
Later, the company made a tentative
promise to raise it's tracks, but this was
defeated by the eighth warders them

A BELATED NEW YEARS
The Holiday Celebrated Today by the
Local Greek Church.

Praise for the mercies and glories Of
the past year were offered by the 800
members of the Greek church, at the
Russian colony in Northeast Minneap-
oils today. Owing to difference be-
tween tie Russian calendar and that
used by other Christian nations, the
Russian New Years comes thirteen days
later than the day celebrated by the
Protestant and Roman Catholic
churches.
The litany and praise service were
read by the priest, Rev. Kanstantine
Popof, who holds his authority directly
from the Russian church. AS most Of
the members of the church are natural
ICED Americans, the prayers Of thank
fulness for the successes of the United
States in the past year wer ardent,
but when the usual words of praise to
the cZar, and the success of the nation
wer read, there was a suppressed feel
ing Of hopelessness for the Russian
cause. 5000 ..<.sf So z,j.---%1s:
