BOARD. PROBING INTO
FARMERS INSTITUTES

The board of managers of the farmers
Institute held their first meeting today
in over three years. Since the amended
act of 1903 was passed there has never
been quorum at a meeting, and the
members OF, the board are now going to
the bottom of things. 1t is claimed that
the business has been done by Superins
tendent Gregg without any check and
his books are being inspected. The meet
ing of the board lasted all day behind
closed doors. The board includes Messrs.
Rice Nelson and Liggett Of the university
regents- President O. N. Cosgrove Of the
agricultural society: and the presidents Of
the. state dairymen's association and state
horticultural society The public exam
iner has CANNED the books and found
them properly kept, but questions have
been raised as tottfe propriety Of certain
epense charges Attorney General Young
was called in and stated his opinion that
the rule under which superintendent
Gregg pockets the money paid in for adj
vertising in the farmers institute annual
is illegal. The board will cut off that
| source Of revenue and may demand some
refund Of past collections.

Weather Conditions.

Cloudy weather is general east OF
the northern Rocky mountains as far as
the New England coast, also along the
Atlantic and gulf coasts. Light rains
or SHOWS have fallen during the past
twentyfour hours in Saskatchewan,
parts of Minnesota, in the lake region
and New England, and moderate rains
in parts of the gulf region. The pres,
sure is low over the lake region and
over the Lake Winnipeg region, accom-
panied by snow this morning at Lakes
Superior and Michigan points, and rain
at Buffalo. While it is warmer than it
was yesterday morning in most Of Min
nesota, the Dakotas, eastern Montana,
Iowa, Nebraska and Kansas, there have
been no decided changes in stempera-
ture, except in Louisiana and themes
eastward to the Virginia coast, where
it is cooler, with a fall Of from IA to
20 degrees in Alabama, Georgia and
Tennessee. It is expected that the
low over northern Illinois and the
lake region will move eastward, fol
lowed by fair weather in this vicinity
tonight, and that the Lake Winnipeg
{" low" will cause unsettled weather
in this vicinity on Wednesday, and
probably showers or snow furries.!

OBJECTS TO THE TIE; !.
BLANKET REPORT
JUDGE DICKINSON AGAIN AT,
TACKs GRAND JURY CUSTOM. :
He Says. Persons Should BE Accused
Only by Indictment and Not in a Way
Which Deprives Them Of the Privi-
J., lege Of a Hearing in Open Court.

I Judge H. D. Dickinson today vigor-
ously questioned the 1time-honored Gus
tom of Hennepin county grand juries Of
making reports. In charging the No
vember grand jury, Judge Dickinson
who has before made similar attacks on
the grand jury report-gave few hard
jolts to the retiring jury and its report.
"In the last few days, - said he, 'we
have been presented, with the spectacle
port the names Of persons indicted and
giving this report to; the public press,
forty-eight hours before the persons
named could be placed under arrest.
This is gross violation Of the law, and
the persons to- blame should be made
to suffer. It also charged certain indi-
viduals with felonies, altho the jury
failed to make presentments against
them. Such a course is entirely wrong.
It does not g i've the accused day IN
court or a chance to defend himself.
The practice Of editing final disserta-
tions on their deliberations is not per-
missible, for the statutes do not call for
1T. BY law, indictments and present.
ments are the only form Of communica.
tions provided for. - ~.
l. After vigorously criticizing the for,
nler jury on account of it's report, he
uyged the present jury to refrain , from
similar action. ID g.. -.

grand Jurors to make reports Of condi
tions which in their opinion were noto
riously wrong, but which could not be
reached thru. regular channels. :. 4. II

.ARCHDEAC0N WEBER
HAS GREAT SUCCESS

Large and deeply interested congrega-
tions are listening daily to Archdeacon
Percy Webber, who is conducting serv-
ices in the Episcopal churches of the
city in sympathy with the Chapman
evangelistic campaign. His sermons are
of the soul-searching kind, compelling
the closest attention, and evidently MAX
ing deep impression on each hearer.
Last week the archdeacons daily Wis
tied an Episcopal church and three
oneach of the two Sundays past, preach
ing always to large and intenselY-inter-
ested congregations. AS a consequence,
the whole Episcopal church has been
reached as it could have been in no
other way, and not only reached, but
truly reused. 49, 4Ssss8 !:
Every night this week the archdeacon
will preach in St. Mark IS at s o 'clock,
assisted by the various parish choirs.
The noon meeting at st, Mark IS

moved his hearers deeply. ~. "a, +

Business Pressure Is Brought to Bear on

Planned. u stl 3.

Minneapolis will not remain dry on
Sunday without a vigorous protest and
an active crusade against the movement
on4the part of the saloon, men and their
friends. The first step in the fight is
now in progress in the form of an appeal
to business interests. 1t is probable that
every business man and every business
firm in Minneapolis will have a chance
to make a square declaration of princi-
Piles on one side or the other. The re-
suits Of these campaigns will be placed
before the mayor by the interested par
ties and he will be requested to rescind
his order.
The cigar jobbing and manufacturing
houses. the furniture houses, the fixture
manufacture and supply houses and
banks are being asked work for the
Men in these lines will be asked to get
into the movement or expect to lose the
business Of the Minneapolis liquor
dealers. Business organizations and
trades unions will also be asked to as
sist in the movement.
Petitions are already out and resolu-
tions asking the revocation Of TIE or.

lated among the banks and it is said
that at least one of the downtown
banks fatty refused to consider it. A
resolution asking the recall of the
mayors order was presented to the

The meeting was fully representative of
the commission interests and was at
tended by about sixty members. :.
Failing to secure the Sunday priv.
ilege by business pressure, the plan is
to swing to the other side and insist on
complete and literal enforcement OF
the Sunday statutes. Every prohibited
trade and business will be attacked by
injunction for the purpose of securing
influence from classes at present unaf
fected. This will include stores Of al
most every sort, theaters and, possibly

Rose has been the central figure in
half dozen tragic love affairs, and
yesterday she came near appearing IN

Nine months ago Petra, who had
saved several hundred dollars, went
back to Italy. He left Rose, his COM
mon-law wife, in charge Of the little
home at 407 Fourth street N, where she
was to keep boarders until he returned.
In the meantime Lucci made love to
Rose as only the Italian knows how,
and her sincerity trembled. The result
was that by the time Petra had arrived
at his old home, Rosa and Alfonso had
been quietly married. by Court Conlmis
