AN ANNOUNCEMENT

On the first day Of May the publication
Of the st. Paul @ o will be discOn-
tinued. The reasons for this passing out
OF existence OF a great daily newspaper
after nearly thirty years of active life are
purely of a business nature; but the read
ers who have SO loyalty supported h
G. o b e, and who are more numerous to-
day than they ever were at any moment
OF its previous history entitled to a
plain statement Of them before the final
farewell is spoken
The single and sufficient explanation OF
this decisive step is found in the fact that
the business interests of St. Paul have not
been able to give to T h e G o e that
business support without which no
newspaper can thrive. h e G o b e has
had courteous treatment at their hands,
but apparently the business is not here.
st. Pauls business interests are not ade-
quate to the support of two morning pa
pers.
The experiment has now been tried out
SO thoroughly that there is no room for
doubt as to the correctness of the cOnclu-
sion reached. In every other respect
n G o b e has met with a success
fully equal to its most sanguine expecta-
tiOns. 1t has not to complain that the peO-
pie do not want it; that they fail TO appre-
ciate it; that they are unwilling to give to
it its due a newspaper. On the contra
ry, it has to thank them for the most COR
dial and liberal encouragement. 1t
would be wOrEe than idle, in connection
with an announcement such as this, TO
gild or to darken the fact. And the fact is
that the circulation of T n @ l o b is
larger in quantity and better in quality
than at any time since its foundation. But
the rule Of newspaper enterprises every
where, that advertising revenue is pro-
pOrtiOned to circulation, does not hold in
st. Paul. Increase in amount and value
Of circulation is here found wholly con-
sistent with diminishing revenue.
To show more clearly what this means,
an experience whose results aresactually
at hand with another newspaper may be
cited. This paper, having circulation
Identical with that Of h @ o e,
within a few hundred copies, published
in a city Of considerably smaller size, and
carrying total expense several thousand
dollars a month greater than the entire
cost Of publication Of T n G o b e, earn
ed net profit annually Of more than the
equivalent Of per cent on the total cap
ital stock of T e @ / o e. But the town
adVertises. That is the whole story Most
readers know already that newspapers

THIS APPOINTMENT
is ASTONISHING
President Attaches Grunsky to
Reclamation Service on
High Salary
Globe Special Washington Service

WASHINGTON, April 19.-The talk
regarding the extraordinary appoint
ment of G. E. Grunsky of California as
a consulting engineer of the reclama-
ton service will not down, and if con-
gress were in session the affair would
probably assume the proportions of a
public scandal. Mr.. Grunsky was a
member of the isthmian canal commits
sion, who was obliged to resign when
President Roosevelt decided upon his
plan of radical reorganization. AS a
consolation he received the appoint
ment in the reclamation service:
This service already has at it's COM
mand about $50, 900. 900 for carrying out
federal irrigation projects in the west
ern states. 1t is necessary to have
good engineers, and "a lot of them are
employed by the government in this
work at moderate salaries. +. II. New
ell, who has the title of chief engineer
and who is at the head of the reclama-
ton service, under the superintendent
of the geological survey draws a SAL
airy of $4,000. There are engineers sub
ordinate to him who receive salaries
ranging from So a day to $3,500 a year.
Mr.. Gruhsky, the newly appointed con-
sulting engineer, receives a salary OF
$4,000.
The appointment naturally has not
caused pleasant feeling among the
others officers and employees of the re-
clamation service, for the anomalous
situation is presented of one consult
ing" engineer receiving fancy salary,
while several other men having the
same title and presumably similar du-
ties, receive salaries as low as $4,000.
Naturally, also, Mr.. Newell, the chief
engineer, must feel somewhat embar-
rassed when giving orders to Mr..
Grunsky, consulting engineer. when he
considers that the California gentle
man receives a salary two and a half
times as large as his own.
The president fixed Mr.. Grunsky's
salary, and it is probable that nothing
will be found in the law to make this
appointment illegal. The question is
being discussed, however, of what par
ticular services Mr.. Grunsky is going
to perform which should enutle him to
a salary four or five times as large as
that of other officers of the same NOM
inal rank as himself in the reclamation
service. Walter l.. Clark.

Brought to Minneapolis

Scrawford and Losee were brought
TO Minneapolis last evening. 1t was
intended to take Farmer to the prison
at once, but owing to a hitch in train
connections Sheriff Ward decided to
hold him IN Minneapolis until this
morning. Farmer was assigned cell
in the main cell room. Scrawford was
taken to another part of the jail and
night and day he will have a deputy
sheriff outside his cell. Sheriff Ward
of Sherburne county has asked that a
special guard be assigned and this will
be done. Last night one of the deputy
sheriffs was impressed into service, but
arrangements will be made for a reg
ular death watch which will stand
guard until the condemned man is
taken to Elk River for execution.
Scrawford appears to be in the best of
spirits and has said he would cheat
the gibbet. For this reason he Will be
watched closely. Farmer is jubilant.
He expected a life sentence, and the
penalty Of thirty years does not wor-
ry him in the least.

Special to The Globe

Special to The Globe
ELK RIVER, Mimi, April 19.-Be-
fore starting for Saltwater this after
noon Losee, alias Farmer, confessed
his share in killing young Lundeen. In
the presence of several people, in
Guiding Scrawford, he said to wit
nesses who had testified against him.
You fellows did not tell anything
but what was absolutely true. l used
the exact language you said 1 did
when 1 told Scrawford to shoot When
/ went to the back end of the car. Lun-
deem had his hand in his overcoat
pocket and kind of raised up and l
feared was going to pull gun. That's
why l told Scrawford to shoot. I'm
glad the prosecution didn't know of
our jobs in North Dakota or l wouldn't
have got off so easy. 1 didn't expect
less than second degree and feared 1
might get first"
Scrawford broke down for a few
minutes today for the first time, but
soon rallied. He says he isn't a
squealer and will take his medicine.

Both are Sentenced

ELK RIVER, Mimi. April &c. D.
Scrawford, convicted of the murder of
Heino Lundeen, was brought into court
today and sentenced to death by hang
ing. Arthur G. Losee, alias Farmer,
who was convicted of murder in the
third degree, was sentenced to the
highest penalty-thirty years in the
penitentiary. Losee was Scrawfords
companion in a box car last November
when Scrawford killed Lundeen. The
attorney for Scrawford made plea
for clemency, saying that justice in
his case had miscarried. He main
tanned that Farmer was the instigator
of the crime, that it was at his order
that the deed was committed and that
in perpetrating the murder the will of
Scrawford was only bending before
the stronger will of Farmer. The date
of the execution has not been set.

Dead or Not. He Was Buried

Over twenty years ago S. P. Ives, a
well-known legal light of Essex coun-
~. and Charles p. Thompson of the
superior court were pitted against
each other in an important life insur-
ance case at Salem, Mr.. Ives for the
company and Mr.. Thompson for the
plaintiff. Mr.. Thompson was very
anxious to put into the case certain
affidavits, and Mr.. Ives was equally
strenuous in opposition.
After lengthy arguments the Judge
decided in Mr.. Thompson's favor. and
he proceeded TO read. with much en-
phasis, dispositions relating to surgi-
cal treatment. death, funeral and last
the interment of the insured.
AS Mr. Thompson finished reading
this, which was from a sexton of the
cemetery, giving name, date, number
of burial lot, ETC., he threw the papers
upon the table and,s addressing the
judge, said, with a bit of impeachment
in speech which sometimes bothered
him: There, your honor P-perhaps
Bro. Ives don't be-believe this man is
dead! B-but we've b-buried him, any
