BARNEY OLDFIELD
MAY SPEED HERE.
PLANS MAKING FOR A MONSTER
MOBILE MEET.
Dealers Form an Association and the
Event Will Be Pulled Off Under It's
Auspices Many Professional Drivers
May Attend Prelitninaries Arranged
at Meeting Last Night.

Preliminary arrangements for the
fastest auto meet ever held in Mime
apolis, at which Barney Oldfeld, dare
devil driver, may be a star feature,
were made. last night at meeting of
the Minneapolis automobile dealers,
held at the Commercial club
Only the first steps were taken, but
they we're of a businesslike character.
It was decided in order better to con-
duct the races and for the protection
Of the individual dealers, to incorporate
the Minneapolis Automobile Dealers
association and hold the meet under it's
auspices.
Among the plans discussed was an
invitation, not only to Barney Oldfeld,
but to other well-known professional
drivers, and there will probably be some
speed record breaking made.
The projected races will also include
speed contests Of local cars, hill-climb-
ing contests and other stunts to test
the speed, durability, power and staying
qualities Of the different styles of cars.
The project of an automobile show in
Minnea polls next year did not meet
with favor. It was suggested as the
lace G. Nye, chairman of the public af;
fairs committee of the Commercial
club, and automobile dealers, that Min
neapolis could have show if it desired.
The matter rests with the automobile
men themselves, upon whose representa-
tions the manufacturers may be relied
upon to send their cars and stocks for
exhibition. No decision was reached.

CITIZENS ALLIANCE
ISSUES A STATEMENT
To the Public

The Citizens Alliance Of Minneapolis
includes in it's membership several hun
dred Of the foremost business men of
our city. It was organized to promote
the interests of the employer and the
employee, especially by assisting in the
adjustment OF differences, where they
exist, and by seeking to prevent MUS.
employer and employee. It also uses it's
best endeavors to prevent lock-outs,
strikes and boycotts, and when they oc-
cur, to speedily find settlement Of the
difficulty. 49,. 1870
,Messrs. E. G.. Barnaby & Co., No. 400
Nicollet avenue, and Charles L. Hoff-
man, No. 81 Fourth street S, have been
notified by the secretary Of the Trades
and Labor assembly Of Minneapolis,
and by eight or more labor. unions of
the city, that their respective stores
have been boycetted, and that no pa
tronage will be extended to them from
their different organizations, SO long
as they handle certain line of hats
made by non-union labor. 49,, 49,
The boycott is a favorite weapon of
collective cowardice, obnoxious to the
tenets Of high civilization; contrary to
the theory Of free government, and
wholly illegal. This attempted coercion
Of reputable merchants Of Minneapolis,
together for the evident purpose Of de-
stroying the value of honest labor I'M
decorated by a union button, is a spe-
cies Of effronteryS and outrage which
the self-respecting citizens Of Mime
apolis cannot afford to tolerate or per-
NIT. Therefore, on behalf Of this Al
lance, we respectfully urge, you to use
your influence in such manner as will
best serve to make this boycott non.
effective, and protect the interest of
worthy and legitimate business houses
in our midst, who are bearing their
full share of all our public burdens, and
who are deserving Of every reasonable
consideration in an emergency OF this
character. 1t may be your turn next!
It is not the purpose of this alliance
to in any manner criticise or disparage
union labor or labor unions, so long as
their methods are reasonable, legal and
within the bounds of civilized usages.
Neither is it the policy Of this alliance
to make any discrimination whatever
between honest labor whether per
formed by union or non-unlon men, but
| it will at all times use its best endeav-
ors to promote fairness and even-handed
Justice among all business interests of
ment Of which we are all mutually In
terested, and when the parties order
ing the boycott above mentioned have
Withdrawn the same, due notice will be
given the public by the alliance.
The alliance is sending today, a spe-
cial notice to each Of it's members, call
ing their attention to the fact that
such a. boycott has been ordered.

Is GATES UNDER
WHEAT MARKET?
RUMoR LINKS HIS NAME WITH H.
P. WATSON.
Something On" in the Wheat Market
Sets Traders on Bootless Quest for
Inside Observation-Disclosures Condi-
tions Puzzling to the Old Dealers
Centers on May Wheat.

Something mighty, something big be-
yond anything yet attempted, is on IN
the wheat market. Just what it is, the
traders in wheat would almost give
their heads to know. Some power, with
money unlimited and nerve, unequaled,
coming thick and fast for the past sew
eral days, and out of the contradictory
reports arises the latest story connect
ing the names of John w. Gates of
Chicago and III. P. Watson Of Mime
apolis. These men are said to be the
leaders Of a clique that has cornered
May wheat.
The holdings of the clique are as
much a matter of uncertainty as is the
millions of May wheat is the conjec-
tural quantity, so fixed, probably, be-
cause it would take about that much
to corner the market. 5
Ever since May sold under $1.10 here
and under $l.0S in Chicago, some one
has had grip on the price. Today,
at $1.17ss for Minneapolis May and
$1.18% for Chicago, the markets were
tighter than ever. There is no concen-
tration of interests on the short side.
Thousands of traders are short their
little lots that make up the long lines
so tightly held. If the magnates should
put on the screws, prices might 90 soar
ing; but this is thought to be unlikely.
If there is 20,000,000 bushels Of long
May wheat, the holders of it will some
day want to sell it out. s.
A panicky market is the last thing
they want to see. Rather they will
try to work wheat up slowly and hold
it up. ,.* = ~,
From some centralized power comes
the manipulated and for a month the
II ~ 400
ored to locate it. Thru the confusion
of a market affected alternately at it's
ends and in the center, now at Mime
apolis, again at Chicago, St. Louis or
New York, it has been difficult to learn
much, for as soon as purchases or sales
Of influence appeared likely to be
traced to a particular source activity
would cease, only to break out again
in some other market The elimination
this has shown that it is not Armour,
Cudahy or Patten. It has left the in
ference that Gates is the man who is
to do the Letter act this time. ..
Gates, even tho he has millions, is
probably not fool enough to try to
handle a deal Of the kind alone. With
him, it is said, as money hackers, are
Schwab, Prick, Lambert and other cap
italists. With him as joint managers or
partners are John H: Wrenn and Robert
Pringle to help handle the Chicago end,
G. H. Spencer for st. Louis, and H. P.
Watson for Minneapolis.
Gates has gone to California, for a
short rest, leaving his lieutenants in
charge. The last thing he said before
leaving Chicago was that wheat will
sell much higher. His associates are
talking $1.30, $1.35, $3.50, almost any
old price.
The one thing about it all that makes
it look queer is the frankness of Gates
such as Gates is supposed to be in, he
does not take the public into his conf
dence. Z
Minneapolis May wheat sold up to
day to $l.175s and Chicago May jumped
! &c, to $1.19B. 80

SALVATION ARMY WANTS
TO BUY OLD CITY HALL

If the council desires to sell the old
city hall building to the Salvation
Army at a reasonable figure, it will
have an opportunity. .,
Brigadier W. E. Jenkins has written
a letter to the council, saying that un-
der the present rental terms the Sal,
walton Army would not feel warranted
in going ahead and making extensive
repairs, but would prefer to buy the
building outright. These repairs, he
says, are necessary. The organization,
he says, is now in good financial con
dition and has done excellent work in
caring for the floating population which
has for years vexed the police.
AS the building is old and repairs
will always be costly to the city, it is
thought the deal will go thru, altho
several Of the aldermen desire to have
q small park laid out on the site.
