WISCONSIN SHOES
NONE TOO GLOSSY
NEW ANTITIPPING LAW HITS
PULLMAN PORTERS.
Saddle Colored Servitors Running into
Minneapolis on Trains Which Traverse
Wisconsin Tell How the Law Works
Patrons Who Observe the New Law
Miss the Usual Shine.

, 81 shuah don't believe I'm corrupt,
but I do get tips in Wisconsin, = said
the dusky. attendant on the North
Western Limited as it pulled into the
Union station this morning.
IT do heah dey have sleuths on de
train an dat .dey are slookin out for
us" chimed in Blossom" johnson,
gled pocket full of change.
For several days after May g., when
the Wisconsin legislature passed the
antitipping bill, and Governor La Fol
lette signed the measure, porters and
walters on the trains to Minneapolis
thru Wisconsin were scared to almost
ashen whiteness. The Pullman agent
at the Union station said today that
at first they told him their troubles:
"From what | can learn,' said he,
"the only result of the law is that
those who don It want to tip the boys
have a legal excuse. What is more,
they take particular pains to explain
to the porters that they are not Civ
ing tips for highly moral reasons. This
rankles in the hearts of the colored
no effect upon their taking their tips
from others when offered"
The latest move by the porters
union is to employ a lawyer to test the
law. The law reads: "Whoever cor
ruptly gives, offers, or promises to an
agent. employee or servant any gift or
Employee who accepts any gift or gra,
tuity, is guilty Of a misdemeanor. -
The porters maintain that there is moth
ing corrupt in their actions and that
they are going to see what the law is
worth. They also hold that the Gus
tomary ''shine'' is not required by
their terms Of service and that it en-
titles them to payment.
A special agent of the Wisconsin
Central who arrived today, said that
the passengers are the losers. The non,
tippers are soon spotted by the observ.
ant porters and their shoes in the morn,
ing are as dusty and dirty. as at night
The wrong end of the whisk broom is
also piled with effect, and if an anti
tipster makes second trip on train
he misses the many little attentions
which make the tip timely. The wait
ers circumvent the law by going out
and getting telegraph blanks and re
ceiving. tips for "extra service rem
dered.' Telegraph blanks are at {
premium.

YENEzUELA'S ARMY
CASTRO, BALL PLAYER, is EEL
PRESIDENTE 81 NEPHEW.
He Is in Minneapolis as a Member of
the Kansas City League Nine and
Discusses the Venezuelan President
and His Fire-Eating Policy with
Mild Jocularity.

Louis Castro, ri{.iat fielder of the
Kansas City baseball team now in the
city, is a native of Venezuela and a
nephew Of the president Of the scrappy
little republic.
The young man was sent to New York
for his education at Manhattan college,
and incidentally learned to play base
ball. He developed into fine player
and after graduation made his debut
into professional ranks. He played
first with the Philadelphia Athletics
and was sold by Connie" Mack to
the Rochester, N. Y, Eastern league
and this season to Kansas City.
Castro has become citizen of the
United States and laughs as heartily
as anyone over the political antics of
his uncle and the army with which eel
presidente'' threatened to invade the
United States.

three years. said Castro today. con
