Groups of soldiers are stationed at
every 100 PAGES in the streets of Odes-
sa and by order of the governor the
electric lights and gas were cut off,
leaving the streets in darkness. Rail-
way communications to the north
were interrupted for four days. Later
in the day a private message was re-
ceived from Odessa saying that the
fires were extinguished and that the
sender anticipated the town would
resume its normal state in a few days,
directly after the trouble with the
fleet is settled.
1t is stated that 300 corpses Of vic
tins of the fire of Wednesday night
are lying in a heap in one of the har.
Dor sheds. Describing the incendiar-
ism, correspondent says:
Il saw women and young girls help
ing to carry bundles of straw and fire
wood, saturated them with parafine
and then lighting torches which were
thrown in through the small doors and
windows until the whole harbor front
was ahame. A mob of from 10000 to
10000 persons fell back slowly and re-
sistingly before the rifle volleys of
the troops until the machine guns
were brought into action when they
moved down the frenzied ranks"

criminal negligence in caring for en-
ployes in the great work. charges Of
all sorts against officials in charge,
stories of favoritism, blacklisting,

REV. LOUIS RICHTER DIES
INFIRMITIEs OF AGE END A LIFE
DEVOTED TO GOOD AS HE SAW

Rev. Louis Richter died at 6 pm,
yesterday at his home, 1910 Harmon
place, from the infrmities of old age.
He had been i'll for a year and con-
fined to his room three weeks. He
would have been IS years old May 21.
The funeral will be held at pm,
Thursday from the home. Rev. G. I:
Morrill, will officiate and the burial will
be at Lakewood.
Mr.. Richter was born in Wurtemburg,
Germany. When years old he came
to Buffalo, N. Y, with his parents. He
entered the ministry at the age of 20,
and in the next forty-six years held
pastorates in Ohio, Indiana, Kansas,
Wisconsin and Minnesota. He founded
the Ninth Presbyterian church in In
dianapolis over twenty years, ago. He
had lived in Minneapolis about ten
years. -. ~
Altho Mr.. Richter's later life was
embittered thru a controversy with his
church he chung to his religious faith,
and his last words were from the Scrip
lures: "For me to live is Christ; to die
is gain.' He had been excommunicat'
ed from the church following trial on
the admitted charge that he was re-
ceiving financial support from brewing
lets on the use of liquor, while still a
clergyman. The case was carried thru
to the general assembly, the supreme
court of the Presbyterian church, and
the expulsion was sustained. 1t has al
ways been understood by members OF
the presbytery, by which he was cut of
from church associations, that Mr.
Richter was absolutely honest in his
views, and some of them were daily Wis
itors at his bedside.
Mr.. Richter leaves a widow, fou1
children and an adopted son, p. D: Rich

F'itzsimmOns and Rockefeller.

Professor Robert Fitzsimmons has
taken up the cudgels for MI. Rockefel-
Ter in the matter Of "tainted money!"
and we do not know of any man more
capable of handling bludgeons than
Robert. Professor Fitzsimmons testi-
fes that he has given the proceeds Of
many a knockout to the church, and
does not see why Mr.. Rockefeller
should not have the same privilege.
What is the difference, Professor Fitz-
simmons would argue, between the re-
ceipts from knockout in the ring and
in the oil business9 There are few,
but they do not seem to have occurred
to the professor in his statement. In
the ring for instance the foul blow is
barred and the brass knuckle is ta-
booed, while we do not remember that
the oil trade has ever felt these ham
pering restrictions. Then again in the
ring, if a business man is knocked
down his competitor is compelled to
stand back and give him a chance tc
rise, while in the oil business when one
man is down, the others give him the
boots.

CITY GIVES FLAG TO
NORWEGIAN STUDENTS

Alderman Wilhelm Petersen set out
less than week ago to arrange for the
presentation Of an American flag to the
students of the University of Christiania
as a. gift from the city of Minneapolis, and
has already finished his work. In order to
make the gift a general one, he solicited
only small contributions, but the required
sum was quickly raised. The flag,
handsome silken emblem, five feet long,
is now being suitably lettered.
1t will be presented to the students at
the~Auditorium just before the opening of
their great concert, and will, be happy
overture for the musical event. Mayor
D. P. Jones will be asked to make the
presentation in behalf Of Minneapolis, and
Mr.. Petersen will supplement him with
a few remarks in Norwegian. DR.. Hen
rich Thompson, president Of the stu
dents chorus, probably will make short
address of acceptance.
1t is the wish of the donors of the f1es
that it shall be hung in a prominent place
in the students building in Christianis
as a souvenir Of America and particular!
Of Minneapolis.

Private Car Lines.

Possibly in spite of itself the senate
committee is happening upon some in
teresting railroad information. It
discovered yesterday a private car line
man who was willing to admit that the
Armours have monopoly Of the fruit
business in several sections Of the coun-
try; that they have thirty exclusive
contracts with railroads for the trans
portation of. fruit in cars owned by
them; that they make the rates and
that being a private concern it is no.
body's business what they charge.
These facts are not altogether new,
but they have never been officially on
record and they may assist congress in
arriving at some conclusion. If con-
gress has no power over private car
line it will be very easy in the future
for the railroads to avoid any effort to
control their rates. All they will need
do is to organize a private company to
own and control their freight and pas
senger cars and turn the matter of
making rates over to the private con-
Germ. Congress will have no power to
inquire into the doings of private COM
panies and the business will go on mer-
rily. ... a..
This is the way it may look, but
| when congress becomes really in earn
est on the question Of protecting ship
pers and producers it will doubtless
find means Of enforcing supervision. It
may put stop to the practice Of COM
mon carriers making exclusive con-
tracts with private car lines; it may
define a railroad as inclusive Of a full
complement Of engines, cars and all
other necessary paraphernalia for do
ing the business Of a common carrier
The power Of congress to regulate in.
terstate commerce is expressed in broad
and general terms. It is not confined
to the matter Of rates. Congress has
already legislated for the purpose Of
protecting the lives and limbs Of mel
employed on railroads. It need not be
assumed that because railroad me1
hide behind alleged private companies
the power Of congress to give relief
from unjust exactions is exhausted.

WHAT OTHER PEOPLE THINK
An Industrial School.

To the Editor of The journal.
Professor Peterson's suggestion that
the city Of Minneapolis commemorate the
f1ftieth anniversary of her history by is
suing an appropriate medal symbolical of
the event is good one The cities of
Europe have long followed this custom.
At the worlds fair the Vile de Paris had
a wonderful collection of such medals,
illustrating every important event in her
history
But the best part Of the suggestion was
the proposal that the money secured from
the sale of the medals should be used in
the establishment of an industrial school,
OF the many things needed in this city,
and there are many, the Industrial school
stands out as the most necessary. With
out going into the reasons for the decline
Of the apprenticeship system, it is suffi-
cient to say that the old system is nc
longer existent as training school. II
has gone with the incoming Of the new
forms Of industrial organization without
leaving any adequate way of instructing
the present and future generations to a
knowledge Of the arts and the hand1.
crafts. The result Of this condition has
been to throw unframed workers on the
labor market and to make it increasingly
difficult for manufacturers to get skilled
artisans to do his work.
10 put IL AUTOMATICALLY, the wealth.
producing capacity Of nation depends
upon the efficiency Of its workers. The
failure to appreciate this and to provide
for the industrial training Of boys ant
girls Is sure to result in the lowering O.
national production.
| In addition to these reasons Is anothe,
one to be found in the moral effect upo1
! the boys and girls.
The public school system has for on,
reason or another, failed to provide in
dustrial training on an extended scale
| It is, therefore, necessary that we lool
| for the time being to other sources TO
industrial schools The method proposed
is a good beginning. The funds thus Sc
cured can then be supplemented by pr
vate gift and public subscription. (
it then worth while for the cit,
Of Minneapolis not only to com
/ memorate her fiftieth anniversary b
the issue of a medal, but also by the es
4 adjustment Of an industrial school t
erect a memorial that will stand in futur
years as a real evidence Of her industrial
| growth? Frank N. McVey.

The Three Toms.

Tom Johnson and Tom Watson are
beating the Tom-Tom over the owner
shi1. of the ownership issue. Tom
Johnson claims it because he claims it;
Tom Watson claims it because in 1890
the populist party "boldly advanced to
the radical ground Of public owner
Ship" Wonderful! And then it went
off and died and the democrats came
along and plucked this flower from the
grave of the dear departed. But what
of it9 If the issue has any usefulness
why should it not be used?
But tho Tom johnson and Tom Wat
son may fool about with it, it will
never be Of any use to the country I'M
til some people of common sense take
it up. All the Toms may have noticed
that it is not the fellow who "discov-
ers' an issue who gets the ear Of the
people. Possibly they may have no
ticed that the people usually let out
their business to some one who can do
it. The late democratic and populist
parties have had a good deal to say in
their memoirs about the railroad rate
question, but it does not appear that
any large body Of voters constituting q
majority have referred it's solution tc
their mature Judgment. On the con
trary the job has been let out to Roose
welt, who did not ask for it. If the
Johnsons and Watsons could ever con
stitute majority their contention
over the authorship of phrases nigh
be heroic. At present it is only pa
thetic.

A Losing Battle.

The Chicago teamsters strike is ap-

in Chicago by invitation Of both bust

has not assumed charge Of the strike,
and is not going to, but he hopes to be
useful in effecting settlement.
Simultaneous with Mr.. Gompers ar

important effect upon the attitude of
the labor leaders, is Mayor Dunno $

in securing enough men to carry on

for success by the strikers without re-

upon the federal government to pre-
