HENRY 7. M,AIAHoN."
Police at Work on the Case.

This letter conveys about all the po-
lice have to work on in the case. Tele-
grams were sent to Reno. New. and
other places asking for information, but
up TO la<e last night no information
had been received about il. Two let
tiers were found in the possession Of
Myrtle Huling which threw a little
light on the affair. The first one was
written Nov. il from Reno and signed
( Harry" 1t relates to the murder case
and is written in an affectiOnate tone.
He tells her that there is a blonde
woman in the hands of the police who
is suspicioned by them for the murder
of the man. He says that the police
have never succeeded in getting a de-
scription of her and that he would die
with a rope around his neck before he
would betray her. He says in the let
ter that at first the murdered man was
thought 10 be himself, but that when
he turned up all right the police au-
thorities were puzzled over the case.
Then he says that the woman was
caught in Bakersfield. Cal, who is un-
der suspicion and that he was going to
see her accompanied by an officer, but
that he is not under arrest. He also
promises to send her some money in
the near future as soon as things set
Tie down. He closes his letter vOWing
that he will not give her away and
that she can always look to him for
friend.
From his letter but little solid in
formation can be CLEANED. but it looks
as if the woman had been suspected OF
the murder and that the blonde woman
had been arrested for her. 1t is also
evident that he had been located and
was going where the woman was i'm
prisOned TO see if he could identify her
Beyond this the case is a mystery and
il seems that the name of the man
murdered thought 10 be Lorenz, is UNI
known

.DAIRYMEN APPROVE
Ordinance Regulating Shipment Of MIX
Regarded as Advisable. =

Hearty Endorsement of the new ordi-
nance regulating the shipping of milk
into Minneapolis was voted by the Min
neapolis Dairymer's association at it's
meeting last evening. The measure re-
uuires the owners Of all outside dairies
shipping milk to this city to have their
cattle tested FOR tuberculosis as provided
by the ordinances on penalty of having
their product excluded from sale"'tn this
city and confisca ted when found. The
purpose Of the new law, which goes into
effectsInext Friday. was explained by
Milk Inspector w. D. Mccall and Alder
man r. H. %Castner. After general de-
bate the ordinance was approved without
opposition A committee consisting Of c.
A. Nelson, Fred Long, Louis Larson, A.
T. Anderson and John Halloran. was in
structed to assist the health department
in securing evidence. as to milk shipped
into the oity in violation Of the ordi-
nance The dairyrnen take the position
that ina asmuch as they have been put
to the expense of having their cattle
tested all their competitors should be
placed on the same footing.

CRAWFORD MUST DIE
ON THE GALL0WS

a.
G. D. Crawford must hang at Elk
River, Dec. s.; . ~
The state. board of pardons, at it's
special meeting in. the capitol, St. Paul,
yesterday afternoon, refused to inter-
fere with the sentence Of the court.
The board, after listening to arguments
on both sides OF. the case, came to a
unanimous decision in about ten min
utes Of executive consultation.
Attorney E. s. Cary of Minneapolis,
attorney for the condemned man, re-
viewed the evidence at length, dwelt
on it's lack of exactness at vital places,
and said he believed the evidence did
not call for the death penalty to be in
ficted.~
Rev. William Wilkinson of Mime
apolis also spoke in Crawford's s favor.
He spoke of Crawford as being friend
less at his trial and said that Lundeen,
who told Crawford to shoot, got a
sentence of thirty years as result
Of his having $1,000 with which to Sc
cure the most skilful defense. Craw
ford, he said, had no money to fight his
case. When the instigator of the crime
got but thirty years, surely it was not
just to make the tool that carried out
the order Of Lundeen suffer the deatt
penalty.
q Sheriff Ward Of Elk River was pres
ent and gave further information as tt
Crawford.
Mr.. Wilkinson objected to the pre-
sentation Of evidence by the sheriff
He said the sheriff had $500 fee il
sight for doing the hanging, and init
mated that this was the reason he wa
ready to give further damaging ties

MUSICAL REVIVAL
SOON TO BEGIN.
PLAN FOR CAMPAIGN NOW WELL
ny UNDER WAY.
Real Work viii Begin with Meeting to
Be. Called Early Next Month, when
Associate Directors, with Their Aides,
Will Meet with Prominent Musicians,
Educators and Others Interested.

. Plans for the great musical revival
are now well under way. The idea of
a campaign for musical education has
scored a pronounced hit. Every mu-
sician who has been invited<to take part
in the work has warmly indorsed the
project and many words Of praise have
been received from the public by those
interested. 3
8 The plan, in brief, is to divide the
city into districts; to organize in each
district large singing class under the
direction Of a competent musician, and
to hold the regular weekly session of
all the schools on the same evening,
with the lesson for the week. # :
The classes are to be made up Of
persons who wish to learn singing and
sight-reading without regard to distin-
gushing qualifications. All to whom
the ability to- read music would be a
school, following the plan so success
of Dr. Damrosch.
The real work will begin with a
meeting to be called early next month,
when the associate directors, with their
aids, will meet, together with a great
many prominent musicians, educators
and other interested persons, to discuss
| the plans for the work and to ratify the
movement. Willard ..-Patten, who is
| deeply interested in the plan, hopes to
be able to address the minister's meet
ing tomorrow and secure the co-opera
tion Of the city pastors, as it is gen
orally considered that the results of the
campaign will be of vital Importance tc
the churches.
The staff Of musical directors is now
nearly all made up, and the appoint
ment of aids, clerks and assistants, soo1
to be finished, will complete the work
ing organization Of the enterprise. Al
the head of the business staff will bt
Miss Eva Blanchard, formerly secretary
of the Philharmonic club. After Dec

Arcade. Assistance and advice RELATIVE
to locating the schools and other i'm
portant details will be sought by viii

PHILHARMONIC CLUB BUSY
REHEARsAIs FOR FAUST" AT
AUDITORIUM, DEC. 5, ARE
BEING HELD ALMOST DAILY.

Male choruses which abound in the
Ground opera. "Faust,' are receiving
snecial attention in the rehearsals OF
the Philharmonic club, which is to
olive the opera in concert form, Dec. .,
at the Auditorium, in the combined
Svmnhonv orchestra and Philharmonic
course The women's choruses are oe1ng
rehearsed assiduously also. Their com
bined work this year will be an 1nno-
vation in chorus singing. =,
The chorus, which numbers about
275. with forty on the waiting list, Will
be increased and at the first concert,
Dec 5, it probably will have been IN
creased to 800. Over 125 men will take
part in the male choruses and, strange
to relate. the tenors will be found
heavier than the bassos, a character
istic which is lacking in most all
choruses.
The assisting talent. is of the best
quality. Anita Rio Of New York will
sing Margarita. Margarit Hall of New
York will personate Siebel, George
Hamlin of Chicago will sing Faust
Frank Croxton of New York will be
Mephisto, and Vernon D'Arnalle Of
Chicago is slated for Valentine. Most
of these voices are we'll known IN Min
neapolis, some Of them being familiar
in Philharmonic programs.
AS announced, season ticket buyers
will get full course, because Mes
siah,0 Dec 25, has been added in plac.
of the first concert Of orchestra, whlc]
was given earlier in the season. Seat
for the course may be secured at tn
Metronolitan music store for the min
remaining performances. To holders o
season tickets, bought before the initia
concert. the HMessiah'' performanc
will remain an extra number for whic
separate tickets must be secured.

WEBB MUST FACE
MURDER CHARGE
NEGRO SHOT ON WASHINGTON
AVENUE DIES AT HOSPITAL.
Two Bullets from His Partners Re-
volver Lodged Just Below Heart and
Turned Saloon Quarrel into Tragedy
Murderer, When Told His Victim
Is Dead, Says He Is Sorry. .

Murder in the first degree is the
charge that will now be placed against.
Walter Webb, colored, who shot Eliza
Holmes, his partner in the entertain
ment business, in front of Joe Black
we'll s saloon at 212 Washington ave-
nue. S., Friday night.
After brave fight for life, Holmes
died shortly before 10 O'Clock last
night at the city hospital. In his dying
statement to the police Holmes accused
Webb of deliberately numbering him,
and said that Blackwell was implicated
in the deal. Blackwell, who was ar
rested charged with interfering with
an officer, was released yesterday noon
on bail, but will probably be arrested
again on another charge.
Webb, who admits that he committed
the murder and at first said he was
/ glad he got his man, is weakening in his
cell at central station, and when the
officers told him that his victim was
dead he said he was sorry for the act.
In his manner, however, he appeared
little concerned over the matter and
frequently interrupted the officers dur
, ing their questioning by demands for
whisky.
"I'm losing my nerve,' he said,
"and I we got to have it, The police,
of course, refused to allow liquor to be
brought to him. He still stolidly re-
fuses to speak of the shooting, and as
Holmes lost consciousness before he
could tell all Of his story, the police are
still in doubt as to the real cause Of the
crime. Men who were lounging about
the saloon saw Holmes slap the smaller
man in the face after they had quar-
relied for several minutes, but they
profess not to know what the quarrel
was about. f.
The murder has created excitement
in colored circles, as both men were well
known and liked by their acquaint-
ances. Holmes was somewhat of a hero
in the eyes Of the colored people, as he
figured prominently in several esca
pades with the st. Louis police, and also
caused some trouble for the Minneapolis
officers when he first came to the city
several years ago. He was a good-na
tured fellow, however, and had beer
Industrious Of late years.
Several officers are at work getting
evidence on the case and the most dam
aging Of all will be the accused man =
own statements Immediately after tn
arrest, when he said: "I guess I go
my man all right and I'm glad Of it. ,
Several persons who were intimatel,
; acquainted with both Holmes and Web
;; say they knew Of no trouble between
them, and the detectives expect to hav
{ hard work getting their evidence to
! gether.

of the Endicott building.
It was originally the intention to Sc

this figure was reached, some generous
citizen offered $25000 more on. the con-
dition that another $4,000 be raised IN
three days, the time limit within which
it was at first planned to secure the
$2OO,OOO. The offer was accepted with
enthusiasm.
Yesterday the work advanced with
great strides. A great siren steam

! Of contributing next week, but who
have not yet been heard from, that be

amount will reach $3o0,0oo, with prac

season come to such a peaceful close.
The demonstration was like the Sunday
The team forgot its past triumphs
watching the show at the "Met' and

tions for the benefit of the Biiou audi
ence. There were a few 'Rah-rah
boys loose on the streets, but they
did not "Rah.'' =. ..f>I /:
& On the streets every one hurried
along to keep the chill air from pene-
trating within their wraps. In con-
trast with the Saturday before, the
street crowds were made up almost en-
tirely Of shoppers and others whose
business compelled them to be down
town. l., After the theaters released their
crowds there were many quiet little
parties at the cafes and restaurants
and here and there a player could be
found enjoying the luxury Of cigaret
after the long abstinence demanded by
training. Old university men were
| unanimous in saying that never before
had there been less show of enthusiasm
at the end of the season.
