Firms GOING HOME
TAKE HOPEFUL VIEW

That the reforms of Russia granted
to the Finnish people are thought to
be sincere is shown by the large num-
Der Of Films who are returning to
their native land from Minnesota and
other northwestern states.
The Campania Of the Cunard line,
which sails from New York July 20,
will take 10, only one of whom intends
to return. A week ago thirty Films
from one section in Montana pur-
chased steamer tickets from the Min
neapolis agents, and only two de-
clared that they would return. Most
Of them had been working in the mines
and had boarded up enough money to
buy small farms; When they became
fully assured that their property would
be protected in Finland they decided
to invest there rather than in Amer
lea. r.. H.. =
"We thought this talk was all
fake,' said Alex Kolowski today,
"but it seems that the car is trying
to really give as much liberty to the
Finnish peoples as he can. Altho we
have learned to love the liberty
granted to the most humble in Ameri-
ca, conditions are different than in the
home land. There is new language
to learn and new customs to under
stand. It is all right for children, but
we older people begin to long for the
old ways and the life that we were
used to when we were children. -

Commercial Club Will Try to Get Some
for Next Year.

The Mississippi river was the direct
cause of most Of the matters up for dis
cussion before the public affairs COM
mittee Of the Commercial club yester-
day. River lighthouses, river sufferers
in Aitkin county, and upper-river reser-
voirs were discussed from all sides. The
club will start movement to secure
lighthouses along the river for next sea-
son. Many drownings have been re-
ported this year on account of bathing
at dangerous places, and it is hoped that
BE- BE- Stopped. K Committee, ac Consisting e Of
c. M. Loring, E. G.. Potter, J. D.
Shearer, c.: A. McCollum and Thomas
Voegeli, will investigate the matter and
report to the club.
The Duluth Commercial club has
asked conference on the river-reser-
voir problem. This subject and the
relief of the Aitkin county sufferers
will be further considered, and the local
club will probably confer with the Du-
luth organization.

SEEKS INJUNCTION
FOR BUCKETSHOP.
CHAMBER SAYS QUOTATIONS
TIoNs ARE WRoNGFULLY TAKEN.
Suit Brought for Damages and to Re
strain J. E. Wells Company from Do
Ing Business by It's Present Meth
Quotations Have Been Declared
Property of the Chamber.

A new campaign against 'bucket-
shops has been begun by the Min
neapoIis Chamber of Commerce. In a
suit filed in the district court today
the chamber asks damages from the
J. E. Wells company and seeks an in
junction preventing that company from
continuing it's present business. The
motion for an injunction will be argued
Aq he 80 s;,;t is brought against John ?,
Wells, John E. Grimes and Sumner s..
Johnston, doing business as the J. D..
Wells company. 1t is alleged that the
defendants have offices at 200 Third
street and are there buying and sell
ing stock and grain for future deliv-
cry, or, in other words, are running a
bucketshop.' They are also said to
have places of business in other north
western towns.
Plaintiff AYERS that the defendants
have blackboard upon w WHICH eh are post,
Chamber Of Commerce. It is alleged
that defendants "fraudulently, wrong
fully and surreptitiously get, post on
their blackboards and disseminate these
quotations. and are thereby injuring
the plaintiff.
The present suit is in line with the
policy pursued for some time by. the
chamber, and, if successful, may lead
to putting out of business many Of the
independent brokers. Members Of the
Chamber of Commerce alone have the
right to use the chambers quotations
Various methods Of securing these
prices have been tried and some of
them have succeeded. How the de.
PENDANTS in this suit secure their quo
tations is not set forth in the papers
but probably will develop at the hear.

PLEAD FOR JOHNSON
South Side Delegation Asks Mayor Not
to Shift Police Captain.

Captain A. P. Johnson of the South
Side police district was defended by a
delegation Of more than one hundred
South Minneapolitans who called on
Mayor D. P. Jones yesterday afternoon
to urge the retention Of johnson at the
head Of the station. The speakers were
j. D. Holtzerman, Senator Henry J.
Gjertsen and Alderman Lars M. Rand.
Senator Gjertsen said that the nation
atty question had been raised by mis-
chiefmakers and that the delegation
was satisfied that Captain johnson had
been actuated by the best of motives
in his administration.
Mayor Jones said that Captain John
son was not under the ban, but there
had been considerable squabbling in
South Minneapolis, in which racial and
other questions had been introduced,
and he had deemed that change in the
captaincy might be the best thing. He
promised to consider the matter care
fully before taking further action.

BRAN GOES TO FINLAND
FIRST BUSINESS IN BY-PRODUCTS
AFTER A QUIETNESS IN THE
EXPORT TRADE. -...

Two lots Of bran were sold this morn
ing by one Of the Minneapolis milling
firms, to go to Finland. The same firm
has several good-sized orders booked for
Germany, and had some business in
hand from Belgium, which because Of
small price difference could not be
booked, but is expected to be entered
later.
While it is common for Minneapolis
mills to sell big qualities Of by-prod-
ucts for export, today's business with
Finland was the first for time, and
the foreign business on the whole, en-
tered today, markes a change for the
better.
W. g. Croker, manager Of the feed
department of the Washburn- Crosby
company, says the foreigners are show
ing an interest which promises better
for the mills.
If the northwest raises a good crop
of milling wheat. as seems likely from
the better reports coming in. idle mills
will resume and many men be re-em-
ployed when the new wheat begins to
move. .....

editors of the agricultural papers of
Iowa and Illinois, who are members of
the state immigration bureau s newspa
per excursion are to be credited, Kit
son county, Minnesota, was undoubteq.
ly detached from their respective states
and, by some mysterious operation Of
nature, set down in northern Minnesota.
The visiting newspaper men arrived
in Hallock, Kittson county at 1880
Tuesday morning and were immediately
taken in charge by a committee Of bust
ness men with carriages, who drove
them about eighteen miles thru the sur
rounding country.
The greater part of the fields visited
were sown to wheat, tho flax, oats, bar
ley and macaroni wheat were much in
evidence. ~"
Tho the wheat was much retarded in
its development by the wet weather,
which prevailed thru June, it presented
a very promising appearance. In the
best fields the heads average fully three
inches in length
Part Of. the land inspected had been
drained by. the state ditch system and
is identical in character, with $4,000
acres OF Kittson county land which
Auditor lverson will soon offer for sale
in behalf of the state The visitors
were very much impressed with the fer
tlllty OF the soil and with the splendid
opportunity offered to settlers.
After lunch served by the women
of the town the experts Of the party
were called upon for speeches and re-
sponded with advice upon farming
methods.

Contortion acts are seen so frequently
that even the most wonderful Of them
sometimes fail to create establishment.
Asydia Ameza, performing at Wonder
land park this week, however, seldom
fails to impress the average spectator
with the idea that she must be either Of
India rubber or else homeless. She per-
forms some tricks that it would seem
should cause dislocation Of most Of the
bones in her body. For instance, she
without moving her feet twists her
body completely around SO that she is
facing you. She does the same thing
after bending over and taking hold Of
her heels with her hands. Miss Meza
is Japanese by birth, but was reared
and educated In this country.

FORMAL ENTRY
into THE FORT
STREET RAILWAY SETS TUESDAY
FOR START OF SERVICE.
Delays Have Been Numerous on Ac-
count of Unfavorable Weather. Com
mercial Club and Citizens to Visit
Fort and Entertain officers in Return
Plans at the Lake.

Barring bad weather, war, strikes,
floods, fires, or other misfortunes, the
Mimi ehaha extension to Fort Smelling
will be put Ill operation next Tuesday.
This date has been the mark set for
some time by the street railway COM
pany, and as far as can be seen the line
can be opened at that time. When the
tho line might be open by July 4, but
continued wet weather caused delays.
The opening will be celebrated by the
Commercial club and other business or
CARNATIONS of the city. A large dele
cation will go down to the fort, where
they will be guests Of the officers of
the post. In the evening the celebra-
ton will be transferred to Minneap-
oils, the officers and ladies of the fort
being the guests Of the Minneapolis cit
liens. The plans are not complete, but
it is said that the officers are greatly
interested and will cooperate.
Minnetonka Plans.
It is also hoped that the Minnetonka
Aug. Is and ready for business. "That
will mean lot of work between now
and then,' said an official Of the street
railway company. today, "but we are
trying to make it. The wet weather
thirty days, but T believe we will be
able to make up at least half of that
during the balance Of the building sea-
son. Altho things seem a long way
from completion at present. we will
work to bring order out Of the appar-
ent confusion. -.
"The transforming stations at Hop
kins and at Excelsior have been held
way back by the weather. In addition
to that, we have increased the size of
them from 40x50 feet to 4Ox78 feet to
provide for the future which, of course,
has changed the contractors plans.
There still remain three weeks before
Aug. Is, and in that time I think we
will be able to have the buildings COW
cred so that machinery may be in.
stalled. -.-. ...-
Third Interurban.
Another delayed extension is the
third interurb ban, via Marshall avenue
| Merriam Park and Lake street. The
steel contractors who are to widen and
strengthen the Lake street bridge, will
not have their part of the work com
| pleted until much later than was ex
pected. This line was TO have been
but the present Indications are that il
will be Oct. !, if not later.
| Additional power has been made nee
essary on account Of the extensions in
the local system. Additional machinery
is to be installed in the Eleventh street
building, doubling the distributing ca
pacity Of that plant. Part Of the new
machinery is in place and will soon be
in operation. Another large trans
former will soon arrive and will be
added to the equipment Of the plant.
