CARS EDICT MEANS MUCH
REV. KONsTANTINE POPOFF
TALKS OF EASTER GIFT OF EN-
PEROR TO HIS PEOPLE.

"All this newspaper talk about the
cars granting religious liberty to
Russia is NONSENSE said the Rev.
Konstantine Popoff, pastor of the Greek
Russian orthodox church today, when
asked what he thought of the reported
edict of the emperor granting religious
liberty to Russia, as an Easter gift.
"The newspapers evidently don It
know the conditions in Russia,' the
pastor continued, "for religious liberty,
meaning the right of foreigners or peo-
pie under the Russian rule that have
been brought up in any other religion
besides the orthodox to believe what
ever they please, exists today and has
always existed in Russia. From what
can make out Of the reports, the gift
of the car consists in permitting mem
bers of the Russian church to change
their religious belief, a thing which
was heretofore prohibited, or could be
done only with the permission of the
authorities. -. )
Asked whether he thought this would
mean that a large number of Russians
would now change their religion, he
answered.: "There will certainly be
some who will fall off, but my knowl-
edge of the Russian people convinces
me that only an insignificant number
will s>ive up the faith Of their fathers.
Nevertheless, the concessions granted
by the car are important. To know
their real significance I must get de-
tailed reports from Russia. -

.DETHIER MAY 4
Great Organ Will First Respond to a
Masters Touch,

The large seat sale for the opening
OF the great organ in the Auditorium
indicates that Minneapolitans have lost
none Of their spirit of loyalty and ap-
preciate the fact that they now pos
sess the fourth largest organ in the
United States
The magnitude of the organ cannot
be fully, grasped by those who have
no knowledge Of organ building. With
it's 1000 pipes, it's immense bellows,
with a capacity Of 5000 cubic feet per
minute, its electric motor of ten-horse
power and it's 140 stops, it yet responds
as quickly to the demands Of the player
as a piano, and great orchestral effects
can be produced.
CASTOR Dethier is one of the famous
organists of the day, and he came to
America bringing the warmest indorse-
ments of Guilmant, the greatest organ
master Of this generation. Mr.. Dethier
has arranged a program for the open
ing, May 4, that will reveal to Min
neapolitans the full power and beauty
of their great instrument, and for the
first time the Philharmonic club win
be heard with an organ accompaniment.
The seats are now on sale at the Met
ropolitan Music store at popular prices.

AFTER 4 TRUST BUSTER
PATENT MEDICINE MANUFAC-
TURER ENTERS SUIT AGAINST
! A CUT-RATE DRUGGIST.

S. B. Hartman of Columbus, Ohio,
proprietor of well-known patent medi-
dine, has begun suit in the United
States court to recover damages Of
$4,000 from local anti -trust'' drug
store. It is alleged that the drug store
obtained the remedy contrary to writ
ten contracts with wholesale dealers,
by which the medicine cannot be sold to
anyone cutting prices, and then de-
stroyed the labels and sold the goods
under different names.
,r 1t is said that the druggist in speak
ing of the medicines manufactured by
Hartman, said: "His medicine is no
good; it is only booze drink. I will
fix the purchaser out with something
much better. The other remedy is
composed Of whisky, rain water and
Peruvian bark. IF enough is taken it is
be shown in evidence to prove that the
initials Of the Columbus company are
blown in the glass.
There are also a number of other
bottles standing on the shelves at the
United States court. They are to be
used in another suit by the same com
pany against George J. O'Brien and
Edward O 'Brien Of Minneapolis, who
are manufacturing remedy resem-
bling the original medicine in name,
taste and wording on labels. It is
said that the old bottles of the original
medicine have been used.

BURGLAR SHOOTS
AT HIS PURSUER
POLICEMAN AND CROOK EX-
CHANGE SEVERAL SHOTS.
Patrolman Interrupts Burglar in the
Act of Robbing a Saloon Till, and
Chases Him-Fleeing Man Tries to
Wing Him-Oficer Fires and NAV
Have Hit His Man.

.Patrolman Frank Zalusky had a run
ming encounter with burglar whom he
caught in the act Of robbing Axel John
son s saloon at Eighth avenue S and
Fourth street, early this morning. The
two men exchanged shots freely at long
range, and the burglar is thought to be
wounded.
When zalusky was making his rounds
at 2 O'Clock he noticed some one at the
cash register behind the bar. AS the
officer looked thru the door, the man
tried to escape thru the rear door.
Za!usky ran around to the rear of the
building, but the man was already some
distance down the alley, and when the
policeman started to follow, the robber
started to shoot. Zalusky returned fire
and started after his would-be slayer.
The shots attracted Patrolman J. L. Elk
lund, who joined in the. chase, but the
thief escaped in the dark.
Zalusky is unable to give a good de-
scription of the man because he could
only see his back while in the, saloon!
Detectives are working on the case.

PROTESTS AGAINST
CAPITOL PAY ROLL
GOVERNOR MAY CLASH WITH
COMMISSIONERS ONCE MORE.
List of Fifty Employees Declared to Be
Greater Than the Needs of the Build
ing-Their Pay Rool Alone Is Four
Times the Former Expense of Main
tanning the Old Building.

The meeting Of the capitol commission
called for tomorrow promises warm
features.
Governor johnson, backed by one or
two Of the members of the company, it
was limited today, has decided to pro-
test openly against the expensive salary
list agreed to at a former meeting.
This list carries a total of fifty en-
plsoyeess, with q payroll Of over $4,000,
vice alone. On this list are nineteen
lanitors, five watchmen and two guides.
Governor johnson thinks the whole
! thing out of proportions. :,~s.E' go.
For the care and maintenance Of the
capitol 100000 has been appropriated.
Whatever is left after the employees
are paid goes for the purchase Of fuel,
supplies and needed repairs.
For the care and maintenance of the
old capitol $4,000 was annually ex-
pended.
Governor johnson refused today to
say to what extent he would figure in
the protest, but enough was cleaned to
show that the commission will have to
meet his accusation Of extravaganza if
it persists in approving the new payroll.
EThe number Of EN- ployees, and the
salaries fixed for the heads of depart
ments, are entirely out of proportion, -
said Governor Johnson, "and I think I
shall tell the board so. If that list pre-
wallis, men will be falling over each
other in this building.'
The lowest salary to be paid acord-
ing to the list furnished is $50 a month
each for two elevator men. The JAM
tors, watchmen and guides are rated at
$50 month. each; and skilled labor
son intimates that he intends to exercise
his prerogative as chairman at all
future meetings of the capitol commits

QUEER STUNTS
FOR A SLEUTH
SENT TO COUNT THE SHINGLES
ON A HOUSE.
Canvassed Washington Avenue and
Took a Saloon Census-Sent to 500
Yards to Keep the Boxcars from Run
ming Away and Biting Each Other
"Boss'' Is in Trouble.

y: FortWangler, manager of the United
States Detective agency and indicted on
charge of obtaining money under false
pretenses, is on trial before Judge D. F.
Simpson today. The jury was quickly
secured and John Runstead, the com
planning witness, told most of his story
before noon.
Runstead-a swede boy with pic
turesque dialect-told Of coming to
Minneapolis with $500, and of reading
an advertisement that took him to Fort.
Wangler. He said he first gave the de-
PENDANT $3.50 as security that he would
continue work. The manager agreed
to pay him $lS a week. Later, upon
the representations of Fortwangler,
Runstead said he harded over $15 as a
sort of loan, but without security. To
time and $40 at another, making in all
over $500. Later he asked for his
money, but it was refused. He became
suspicious and reported the case to the
authorities. =
When asked what work he was given
to do after he had become a detective.
the witness said:
ooh, he sent me down by Washington
avenue to take names Of all saloon
ting ay could see." He further re-
lated how he was sent into the 500
yards to see that freight cars were not
moved from the tracks. Again, he
said, he was sent to count the people
who went into local theaters, and was
set to counting the shingles on a house.
Runstead swore that after he became
suspicious and demanded his money
back, the defendant told him that he
had better stay in the game, that he
would make a large amount of money
and would get rich. He said Fort
wangller suggested that he go out and
get his friends, "green, Swedish fellers
IKE may" to come into the agency,
from them.
The state has eight witnesses who will
testify to having given the defendant
money to secure jobs with him and to
having been sent on seemingly foolish

RUSSIANS CELEBRATE
": A BELATED EASTER


The Russian colony of this city, num-
bering 1875 families, yesterday cele-
brated Easter with the traditional re-
ligious service prescribed by the Greek
Catholic church. After spending three
days in fasting and prayer, the mem
bers of the orthodox, church assembled
at midnight Saturday in the main hall
of the parish schoolhouse, Fifth street
and Seventeenth avenue NE, to cele-
brate the resurrection day. The serv-
ices consisted Of the singing of hymns
and the celebration of high mass, and
were similar to those, of the Roman
Catholic church, but the ceremonial is
more marked in the, Greek church.
: Special services will be conducted for
one week and the celebration of Easter
will end as far as the church is con-
cerned on Saturday next. The people
in general only observe the first three
days of the. week as holidays.

Up to the close of business at the Cham

els OF wheat had been delivered on con-
tracts. Expectation was that at least
4,OOO,0O0 bushels would be delivered. and
when the figures We're found to be run

sorts of rumors went around, but the
thing remained unsolved as the market
closed. Meanwhile, however, the traders
were badly scared and those who were

Why the deliveries should be so small
was question no one could answer, but
just before the close the rumor was heard
round the floor that big line had been
delivered and settled for privately. In
quiry poured in from other markets as to
the status Of the May delivery at Min

in May in all markets when the 100000
bushels should have been rendered in
Minneapolis, but the market went con-

If the rumor of private deliveries is

be learned, however, the wheat went to
many different firms, some local and some

BRIGADIERS ARE HERE:
They Invade the Dewey With "The
~> Wise Guy

A complete musical comedy with
original and catchy songs is presented
by the Brigadier Burlesquers at the
Dewey theater this week.
The piece is called 1.-THE Wise Guy, -
and Edmund Hayes, an old favorite
with Dewey patrons, plays the title role.
As in. the more: pretentious musical
comedies, there is little plot but plenty
of good music and entertaining special
ties. The songs written for this pro-
dl1ction are new and are we'll received.
The usual ensembles and speciality
TURNS by the chorus are we'll above the
average, and the costumes and stage
settings are elaborate
The laughable situat ions are many
and all the comedy work is in the
hands of experienced and popular
stars.
THE customary olio affords a few
minutes diversion from the regular
piece and contains some good mum
bers. Jack Symonds, as "The King Of
the Hoboes," Keeps the audience in
an uproar and sings some good paro-
dies.
The Kuhns have novel musical spe
cialty that takes well, and Miss Young.
the prima donna of the company. sings
the latest ballads.
A sequel to "The Wise Guy'' CON
clndes "a show that is full of dash and
repletes with entertaining novelties.

OFFER RICE HULLS !
TO ADULTERATE BRAN

Minneapolis milling concerns and the
Northwestern Miller are endeavoring
the rice hull shippers by issuing fraud
orders against them. Several millers
have recently had letters from Texas
firm offering rice hulls at SIS ton. The
circular says that "the hulls can be
mixed with wheat bran and will not
be detected.' This would mean a
profit of nearly S. a ton to the wheat
bran sellers. ~-. =.
In a letter sent to Postmaster w. D.
Hale by the Northwestern Miller, the
statement is made that the rice hulls
have absolutely no nourishment, and
that the sale is contrary to pure food
laws and is an imposition on the public.
Postmaster Hale will make a full re-
port to Washington. -. @.
