WHAT THIS CITY WANTS
PRODUCE MEN FOUND THAT HA-

SMOKE PREVENTIVE.

Most Of the local wholesale fruit and
produce dealers who attended the Ma
tional League Of Commission Mer-
chants convention at New Orleans
have returned. Several of the delega-
ton made the trip to Cuba, among them
d. W. Longfellow and w. B. McCor-
mack. At the request Of the members
both gave half-hour talks to the Prod
uce Exchange this morning.
During their stay of two weeks on
the island the mercury averaged from
60 to 85, the first figure representing
the lowest temperature known there for
a number of years. Both of the gentle
men consider the island as presenting
great possibilities for the energetic
northerner, but not until a more stable
form Of government is assured. !. The
gentlemen spoke interestingly Of the
lands and people and had word Of
warning for the land buyer, as there
are thousands of acres that are unfit
for any use whatever.

SONS WAYWARDNESS
BREAKS FATHERS HEART

William Jeppson and John Mccall, 16
and 10, respectively, were arrested by
Detectives Brown and Grumpy, charged
with smashing the window Of Hof's
Toggery shop on Fourth street and
stealing jewelry valued at $50. Part
of the stolen property was found in
their pockets when they were searched
at the central police station.
In police court this morning they
waived examination and were held to
the grand jury in $500 bail. -,
Just before the arraignment, Albert
A. Jeppson, 2009 Portland avenue, faith
er Of one Of the defendants, went into
the detention room and upbraided his
SON. s

the heart-broken father between his
sobs, and this is the first time I have
known one Of them to get into trouble.
For twenty years I have worked hard
to support my children and to raise
them respectfully, and now to see this
one 20 to jail breaks my heart. It is
enough to drive man crazy"
Young Jeppson turned away from his
father and refused to listen to him.
When the old man saw that he could
not talk to his, son he went out into the
courtroom and wept silently, while the
son was being arraigned.

FROST KING FIXES
MAN TO HIS BURDEN

A UNDERGROUND chunk of ice, frozen
tightly to the back of sturdy iceman
employed by the Cedar Lake Ice COM
pany, made the burden carried by Sin
bad, when the Old Man of the Sea took
passage on his back, seem mild by COM
parison. s%' . ~ ~ r. .s4 z
The iceman took the huge cake Of
liver it to a customer. When he at
tempted to drop it, dangerous tight
ening of his clothes about his throat
warned him that something was wrong.
He quickly took a fresh grip and
caught his breath. To take off his
coat was impossible; to get at the
trouble was equally difficult, and the
iceman stood irresolute. %"s
The longer the cake Of ice remained
the chills beginning to creep up and
down his spine:
would come up here" he called out to
his fellows on the wagon standing at
Nicollet avenue and Fifteenth street.
Assistance came, but no way was seen
out of the difficulty.
Just then a bustling little woman
came ae out Of the house GU e nearby cl a
before the iceman could protest she
threw hot water in under the huge, in
ert mass. The iceman jumped as if he
had been shot.
"What the -" and then the nat
ural gallantry Of an iceman asserted
itself. 49,
EtI mean what are you trying to do, -
he asked, ttscald mes" and under the
burden Of his ice pack the iceman
danced with the grace Of polar bear,
but the mass still chung to him.
"Well," he remarked in disgust, "of
all the humps ever see on any human
critter, this does beat all. Why don 7
you fellers do something's Do ye think
I'm going to stand here and let that
COMPOUNDED thing freeze clear thru
mes" and the burdened iceman gave q
yell Of derisive scorn.
Some one finally, produced a knife
and after merciless treatment, sue
ceeded in cutting out the entire back
of the man IS coat and his release was
accomplished. ~t - ..s-e=..~<-~

CLUBS ARE INTERESTED
Women s Organizations Send Checks for
Salary Of Mrs. Farmer.

Renewed activity. by women 8 clubs
has resulted from the recent misunder-
standing between the Humane society
and the w. G. T. u. organizations Of
the city, relative to the amount the
unions were to pay toward the salary of
Mrs. II. L. Farmer, the agent whose
duty it is to look after the Interests Of
young girls. Within the past few days
several clubs have. sent remittances to
the Humane society, amounting to
$44.50. #.
When it developed that the unions
only intended to give SO cents month
per union, instead Of $50 for all the
unions, the clubs saw that there was
something left for them to do. Sew
eral sent in checks at once, two for $40
each and one for $3.50. In addition,
two individual checks for $40 each were
, received by the Humane society, this
sum being all that has been paid toward
Mrs. Farmer 8 salary.
Mrs. Farmer began working for the
Humane society, Nov. 20, and more than
800 is due her. So valuable has been

WOMEN AS LOBBYISTS
Will Ask Legislators to Build Women s
Building at the ''U.'

A committee Of women was appointed
yesterday at a meeting Of the advisory
committee Of the Civic Improvement
league at the Commercial club, to ask
the legislature to make a generous ap-
preparation for a women IS building at
the state university. This committee
is headed by Mrs. j. A. Crosby and con-
sists Of Miss Ada L. Comstock and
Professor Maria L. Sanford Of the uni
versity, Mrs. J. B. Gilfillan and Mrs.
David F. Simpson.
Ralph w. Wheelock, secretary to
Mayor Jones assured the committee of
the support of the executive. It will
also have the Endorsement of other local
organizations and will appear before the
legislators with substantial backing.
The need of the proposed building
was explained by Miss Comstock. She
said the women have no place where
they can congregate, rest between reel
tations, eat their lunches, or have social
amusements, and emphasized the abso-
lutte necessity of such accommodations.

WANT A NAN OF
TACT And FIGHT
CHAMBER MEMBERS AFTER A
SHREWD TRAFFIC AGENT.
He Is Needed to Guard the Commercial
Interests Of Minneapolis in Confer
ences on Railroad Rates in Many
Cities Salary May Be Raised by
Subscription.

Coincident with the announcement
that President Roosevelt is looking for
a high-class man to take charge of the
work Of digging the Panama canal
comes search on the part of the Min
neapolls Chamber of Commerce for a
high-grade freight man to take charge
of the traffic affairs Of the chamber.
Today a petition was in circulation on
the floor looking to this end. There is
no fund from which the chamber can
pay the salary Of such man, and, to
provide for it, it is proposed to levy
an Individual assessment of $50 upon
the firms doing business at the chamber.
At present the institution is handi-
capped for lack of an aggressive man
who can fight its battles at the various
conferences Of freight men, held from
time to time in Minneapolis, Chicago,
New York and elsewhere.
at meeting this afternoon, and, should
the plan go thru, there will be an op-
portunity opened for some young, COM
petent and widely acquainted railroad
man to enter the services Of the cham
Der at a fair salary.
Charles G. Bovey is one man men
toned as likely to do very effective
work, but it is certain Mr.. Bovey would
not accept it, as the transportation in
terests Of his own firm, the Washburn-
Crosby company, demand his entire at
tention. .-.0,
James L. McCaull, now chairman of
the transportation committee Of the
chamber, is another man the directors
would like to get, but there is no hope
there, as Mr.. McCaull has his own pri'
vate interests to look after.
The necessity for the employment OF
some man who is at once diplomat
and fighter has been brought home
forcibly by the freight disturbances
now on in the west, and the charges
against Minneapolis-cha that, il
warranted at all, the directors say, are
more than offset by counter instances
of discrimination in favor Of Chicago
and against Minneapolis. .-". 81.
