Within two days the Smith home has

HASSE LANDS

former manager of the Central news

attorney, secure bondsmen. They are

bills down nearly $1,000, and with a like in
vestigation the Grand Jury was satisfied
to take its present action.

ward Bull, an ardent Dowieite, and a
travelling representative Of the Zion
City association, appeared in police
court this morning on charge of
Judge Smith fined him So or three days
in the workhouse. He paid the fine.
Bull came to America about eighteen
months ago and joined his fortunes with
those Of Dowie. In the old country he
had been commercial traveller, and his
lot with the association was to sell it's
manufactured articles.
Bull had been warned by Mr.. Dowie
and the elders not to indu1 ge his appe-
tite for liquor. And he obeyed the
warning until he arrived in Minneapo-
lis. His business was not good in this
city and altho he worked hard for q
whole week he opened but one account.
Discouraged by the failure, he sought re-
lief in the flowing bowl, and found him
self in police court, disgraced.
IT know I ought not to have taken
the iquor,' Bull explained to Judge
Smith, but | did and it made me

WANT PAY FOR
ESPECIAL" WORK
FREE SERVICE OF POLICE AND
FIREMEN NOT FAVORED.
Feeling Among the Aldermen that
Theaters Should Not Be Singled Out
and Compelled to Pay While Other
Requests for Watchmen and Firemen
Are Granted Without Cost.

A resolution will probably be intro
Gil compelling all who ask for special
details Of fremen or policemen, to pay
reasonable amount for such service.
At the last meeting the fire commit
tee recommended that all theaters be
compelled to furnish their own fire
watchmen. This resolution does not
seem fair to many of the aldermen, be-
cause department. stores and other con
Germs draw literally upon the depart
ment in the holiday season and are not
included in the present act.
When the question comes before the
council again it will probably be so
amended as to require everyone who
wants this special detail to pay for q
substitute to stay at the fire house while
the regular official is on the special
duty. The amendment will also include
the police department, whose courtesles
have been abused. Department stores
will pay for officers to stay in the stores
in the holiday season, and athletic or
CARNATIONS will come under the same
rule. At the big games of football
the fire department has always been
on hand with several pieces of appara-
tus. On these times the crowds at the
| theaters are larger and it often happens
that the drain on the two departments
works serious detriment.
| In regard to theaters and public meet
ing halls Alderman Satterlee thinks
that the public feels safer when fire
man of experience is on duty. II the
matter is left to the theaters the spe
cial Waterman would probably have
other duties which would hinder care
full inspection of the building before eacl
performance. He is in favor of reduc
ing the drain on the department., bu
does not think that partially should b.
shown by singing out the theaters.
Members Of the department are will
! ing to do the theater work if a sub
stitute is hired to take their places a
the stations, and indications are tina
such a change will meet with genera
approval.
