With Odel.
[By Associated Fressl

Albany, N ", Dec. Ex-Governor
Higgins tonight replied to that part of
the statements made in New York to-
day by former Governor B. B. Odell,
Jr., chairman of the republican COM
mittee referring to the governors
action in proposing Assemblyman
James w. Wadsworth of Livingston
county for speaker of the state as
sembly. The governors statement
was made verbally, but dictated with
more than ordinary care and delibera-
tion to the group of newspaper cor
respondents He said:
Il have read the statement of Gov
ernor Odell, sent out from New York.
l do not care to discuss with Governor
Odell through the press questions of
honesty or dishonesty.
$50 far as the future of the repub-
lican party is concerned, think that
it can be safely be trusted with the
press and the people as to whether
my action is wise or unwise. That is
all care to say on the subject

IN DISTRESS FINANCIALLY.
New York's Historic Plymouth Church
in Straits.


Brooklyn, N. Y, Dec. 21.-Historic
Plymouth church has come to such
financial straits that a meeting was
held last night to devise ways and
means to increase the revenues, which
have so dwindled as to show deficit
in the last year against surplus thirty
years ago, when Henry Ward Beecher
was paid a salary of 100000. The
meeting was in no sense reflection
on the ministration of Doctor Dwight
Hills, but rather an Endorsement OF
his untiring efforts in the face of ex-
traordinary adverse circumstances.
The old Brooklyn Heights families,
who were the mainstays of Plymouth,
have disappeared through death or re-
1noval.
The deficit in the Plymouth exche-
quer from 1900 to 1905 was $4,000. For
the present year it has been $1,000.
The plan of relief will be definitely
considered next week.

Governor La Follette's administration
were placed on the stateute books,
but were repealed by the next legisla-

Only Single Telephone Wire Main
tains Communication With Moscow
Serious Conflicts Between Troops
and Populace Reported There-Sup-
pressed Newspapers Reappear Un-
der New Names.
iBy Associated Pressl

st. Petersburg, Dec. 21.-The single
telephone wire working to Moscow
this afternoon brought grave reports
of serious disorders and collisions be-
tween troops and the populace.
The Narshadney, formerly the Syn
Ontechestva, and other secretly pub
lished papers, which are being distri-
buted by thousands to the workmen,
are filled with the most inf1amma-
tory appeals melting the people to an
armed rebellion. Many of the articles
are especially directed to the army,
which is implored not to shed the
blood of the nation. One writer, ad-
dressing the soldiers, said:
"Join u.s. Rise with us. No power
can stand against the people and army
united"
1t is significant that the workmen
in the mills and in the factories have
for more than a week been presenting
demands that the priests discontinue
the usual prayers for the emperor,
with the alternative of being boycotted
if they do not cease SO doing.
Since noon today the streets have
been filled with troops, especially those
in the industrial sections. The railroad
stations are in possession of the mill
tary.
Many Leaders Arrested.
Wholesale arrests of the leaders of
the workmen were made last night.
1t was reported that the police includ-
ed in their capture the members of
the second workmen's council, who
were placed in the fortress of st.
Peter and st. Paul, with the members
of the first council, who were arrested
Saturday night. A third council, how
ever, promptly took the place of the
second.
The League of Leagues has issued
an appeal to the public asking for lib
eral support of the poletariat, (which
is bearing the brunt of the struggle
for the emancipation of the nation.
The appeal says that there is going to
be much privation and suffering from
cold, and not only asks for material
aid, but proposes the inauguration OF
free dining rooms for workmen in all
parts of the city,

with an easy riding carriage in
which she was able to make the
trip with comparative ease. The
accident, which we failed to note
last week on account of the copy
being mislaid, was caused by the
explosion of one of the tires of
the auto which caused the mach

throwing Miss Taylor to the

fracture her arm besides badly
bruising her face and body.

desire to call the attention Of tbs
public, through the columns Of your valu-
able paper, to a violation OF law that II
becoming all too common and should be
checked at once.
A wise ordinance has decreed that in
most Of our residence streets the side
walks shall be SO placed from the street
lines that strip of grass shall be al
lowed in the boulevard inside and outside
of the walk.
In all parts Of the city, but perhaps more
particularly in North Minneapolis, many
persons have built fences close up to the
sidewalk, thereby appropriating from two
and one-half feet to four feet of the pub
lie street, and thus making their property,
for various reasons, more Or less nuis-
ance to their neighbors. Now this does
not seem to me to be right. It should be
the duty Of the police or some proper
officer to see to it that the rights Of the
public should not be thus imposed upon
and not leave it to an individual to make
a specific complaint against his neighbor
There is another custom which is not
lawful. and that Is where the lots lie high
above the grade to make the foot Of the
terrace come clear out to the line OF the
sidewalk instead of stopping at the street
line as it should.
Is there not some way, without engens
dering a neighborhood cav. to stop this
