L00IING THE CAPITOL
CHAIRS AND DooRKNoBs, AMONG
OTHER ARTICLES, DISAPPEARED
FROM THE NEW BUILDING. .

Vandals and thieves are already get
ting in their work at the new capitol
building. Among the crowds Of PEG
pie who have visited the structure in
the past two weeks there have been
some whose instinct for curios was
stronger than conscience. The capitol
commission employees have already
missed several Of the ornamental brass
doorknobs with which the building is
fitted.
Some bold persons seem to have
actually walked away with handsome
chairs. The new capitol is full of
workmen and men are carrying furni-
ture in and out every day, so almost any
one can pick up chair and walk out
with it and not attract attention.
Either some furniture has gone astray
in delivery, or else some thief has taken
chances BY carrying chairs away in
plain sight Of hundreds of people.
Now that the articles have been
missed, a closer watch is being kept by
the building employees. The house and
senate chambers are protected by
legislative employees during the hours
that the capitol Is open.

MAKES REBATE CHARGES
GEORGE s. LOTUS FILES FORMAL
COMPLAINT WITH THE STATE
RAILWAY COMMISSION.

A hearing of an important charac-
ter will be held before the railroad and
warehouse commission Wednesday,.
The complainant is George s. LOTUS Of
the ftus-Hubbard Elevator company,
St. Paul, who made some sensational
statements about railroad rebates re-
Gently at the meeting Of the Minnesota
Municipal and Commercial league.
Mr.. LOTUS makes some definite
charges, but in general terms he de-
clares that three large elevator COM
panies have rebate agreements with the
railroads, under which they get rate
to the head of the lakes about half as
large as other shippers pay. The re.
bates are covered under the guise Of
"elevator charges,' tho the grain does
not go thru elevators at all. The Great
Western road, he declares. arbitrarily
doubled switching charges in West st.
Paul, while leaving them the same at
other points. .. e.
The complaint charges that $50 cars
Of coarse grain were brought from Chi
cago to the twin cities last fall on a
net rate Of S cents, while the regular
tariff is 10 cents. It also states that
/ trust shipments to st. Paul and Mime
| apolis are recognized without An extra
charge, while small dealers must pay S.
car. It also says that the switching

thru the twin cities is entirely escaped

SWARMED OUT. AND CAPTURED
AN INQUIsITIvE INSPECTOR.
He Was Looking Under the Canvas
Housing Over the Submarines When
the Japs Seized Him and Held Him
Prisoner for Many Hours ~ Profuse
Apologies Followed Explanations.

Few freedom American citizens have
had the distinction of being arrested on
the free soil of the United States, and
held as prisoner Of war by the Jap
anese on the charge of being Russian
plotter, but this is the unique expert
ence Of Jacob Koerner, ST., Of Litch-
field, MINI. He is a travelling heated
car inspector for the Great Northern
railway and returned today from an
eventful trip to the coast.
During the present cold weather
every car leaving the twin cities loaded
with perishable goods is equipped with
a kerosene stove and it is necessary for
a man to travel with the train to care
for the heating device.
Last week Koerner left st. Paul with

man with a heavy mustache, and believes
that he was taken for q Russian spy
He was soon securely bound and, as il
they had sprung from the air, nineteen
Japs appeared on the scene from the

on the cars. Some were for immedl
ately throwing him from the train
while others argued that he could be
better dealt with if he could be gotte1
across the waters. The latter finally
prevailed, and Koerner was roughly
thrown into the hull Of one Of thu
boats.
For many hours he lay thus, awaiting
chance to explain, but the man ,wht
stood guard over him knew no English

at his absence and found him, after {

ODD FREAK OF THE
MAY WHEAT MARKET

At 9:47 this morning sales Of May
wheat were made simultaneously in Min
neapolis, Chicago and New York, at
SLIT.
This is the first time in the memory of
the Oldest traders that these markets
have been on the same level at the same
moment. 49,.
As freight Minneapolis to New York
is about Is cents and from Chicago to
New York, or 8 cents, there should
be a corresponding difference in prices:
the interior is too high, but the interior,
close to the supply situation, believes e.,
they must come up eventually.
This morning COS cars Of wheat were
in here, against 461 the corresponding
Monday last. year, which made the. pit
feel a little bearish and May sold from
$1.17ss down to $1.16ss, the three
markets coming together at SLIT on
the slide.
The market went down another peg
before the close, May to l$l.l5%@
600 cars for Minneapolis tomorrow.

MORNING GLORIES
They Appear at the Dewey in "The
80 i. Devils Daughter

Clarence Wilbur and Constance Win
dom are the particular stars Of an ex-
i ee @or is5g ap9peare@ rh ae DeT G
Daughter at the Dewey this week.
Wilbur is favorite on this circuit,
and his comedy work is always. free
from coarseness and horseplay. "The
DEVILS Daughter" is a burlesque well
suited to his talents, and the same is
true Of Miss Window. She has a pleas
ing voice and natural stage presence,
and besides is graceful, dancer:
nalities and pretty musical features
which take the place of the usual olio.
The songs are mostly all new and catchy
aud many of them were written espe-
cially for this company. More than or
binary attention has been given to the
stage settings and the costuming which
is particularly effective.
"The Jefferson Guards" a troupe of
sixteen young women, who give several
difficult drills, and military band com.
posed largely Of young women, are the
leading specialties.

REPLIES TO RUNGE.

Chief Engineer James r. Canterbury of
the local fire department expresses sur
prise that veteran fire fighter like Chief
A. H. Runge of the Grand Forks fire de-
partment, should hold the Minneapolis fire
department responsible for the Croker
hotel catastrophe. He cites the case Of
the Westminster church, the front wall of
which fell out on Nicollet avenue several
weeks after the fire, to show that acct
dents happened even under the admins
tration Of Frank L. Stetson, whom Chief
Runge held up as model
