Grand Chief Stone went to New Haven last
night supposedly to confer with President NreIIaD
and other officials of the New-York. New-Haven
and Hartford road on the demands referred to.
in the foregoing dispatch An official Of the
local branch Of the Brotherhood confirmed ttbe
dispatch. however, although he said that some
Of the Brotherhood branches had not yet voted
whether or not to strike in case the demand
was refused AL the branches were asked. he
said, to vote the question at the annual con-
vention of the order last summer. Engineers on
some roads were satisfied with the examination
system in vogue them at that time and
therefore did not follow the conventions instruc-
tions TO vote Now, however, these branches
were likely to vote. At present, this official said
the chief pressure to bring about change In
the rule was being exerted on the Lake Shore
and Michigan Southern. a subsidiary of the
New-York Central. but a change was desired
on many other roads. and in OF refusal
there were possibilities Of sympathetic strike
mem bers of the order.

President made his acknowledgements to the
press and public of the South for their effective
anti-lynching crusade declaring that in the last

years.
Senator Doliver, in a speech that took his
hearers by storm. made a reference to the Sen

Philadelphia Feb. 13.-The real purpose Of
the visit of Grand Chief Warren S. Stone of
the Brotherhood Of Locomotive Engineers to
New-York at this time is TO see the presidents
Of the big railroads and inform them that un-
less change desired by the Brotherhood in the
rules for the physical examination Of engineers
is granted forty-eight thousand engineers, from
one end Of the country TO the other. will go on
strike on March l. In that case the engineers
are counting on the support OF the Brotherhood
of Locomotive F1remen and the various organ
izatons of which the tranmen of all grades are
members
Every branch Of the Brotherhood of Locono-
tive Engineers all over the country has voted
on this question. and has voted to strike If the
demand is not granted.
The change desired In physical examination is
for the benefit Of men long in the service-the
older men, whose eyesight cannot stand the opti-
cal tests at present imposed on men who apply
for the place Of engineer 1t is to save the jobs Of
these older men that the Brotherhood is work
ing. It asks that the engineers long in the ser
vice be allowed TO test their eyesight in the open
air, on signals semaphores and lights, at dis
tance of, say, one thousand feet ability to rec
ogniZe the signals at that distance to count as
though they had passed the inside test For
men applying for places the Brotherhood is sat
isfied with the inside test
When Chief Stone called on August Belmont
on Saturday. as told in The Tribune, he in
formed the president of the Interborough of the
demand Of the men, for 1t takes in not only
the steam roads but all electric roads on which
the motormen are members of the Brotherhood
The local branch of the Brotherhood with the rest
Of the $4,000 members of the organization has
voted TO go out on March l If the new exam
ination rule is not adopted, and Chief Stone told
Mr. Belmont Of this decision. It will be re-
Tnembered that some time previous to the open
ing Of the subway the elevated motormen made
demand for change in the physical exami-
nation rules, threatening a strike if it was not
granted. Concessions were made at that time
and strike was averted Now the Interborough
is soon to be confronted again by similar de-
mand, accompanied by a threat to tie I'D the
subway and elevated trains.
Chief Stone while here will see the officials
Of the New-York Central, the New-York. New
Haven and Hartford. the Long Island. the Erie

vania and other roads The demand has AL
ready been made on most Of the Western roads

trains for a workday of the same hours as tba+

First Public Appearance.

Among the musical organizations
of the city which are rapidly coming
to the front may be mentioned the
High School orchestra. This organi-
zation made it's fret public appear
ance at literary entertainment given
In the High School room on Monday
afternoon OF last week, mention OF
which was crowded out OF our last
issue. That the orchestra pleased the
audience greatly was evident by the
hearty encore given it. Under the ex-
cellent training OF Prof. Powers the
orchestra will undoubtedly become
one OF the best musical organizations
Of the city. The Willm.r High School
is the only institution of the kind In
this part of the state that possesses
such IN aggregation of musicians and
aspirit OF pride is naturally manifested
by both members and patrons of the
school. Long may the High School
orchestra live to charm its listeners
with such excellent music a. was dis

was held In the schooIhouse in Dist
No. SO, town of Gennessee, by farm
ers living in the vicinity, for the pur.
pose OF discussing the best means of
aiding In getting the saloons out of
Atwater. All present were of the
opinion that the saloon is an unmiti.
gated evil, demoralizing to soul and
body, damaging both the town and
the tributary country, and all were
willing to do everything in their power
to get rid of the saloons In Atwater.
For this purpose it was decided to ar
range for = big mass meeting, to be
held in the same schoolhouse, Dist
No. SO, five miles southwest OF At
water, on Saturday, Feb. 4, at two
O'Clock p. M. 1t is the intention to
get up . big petition, asking the At
water people to vote against the sa.
loon. Every person interested in the
te importance work is requested to be
present. There will be some speeches
by good speakers. Prof. H. 8. Hille-
Doe will be asked to be present and
address the meeting. We hope to see
a very big crowd present, ii the wealth

is in the right place For more til n

being sympathetic and broaom n led.
"What the world needs mot tod~y,"

rather mistaken ideas of duty were
portrayed with q vividness and en-

months ago by committing suicide,
has been discovered, not roaming in

on earth, even near the pleasant little
burg known 40 Luverne, in Rock

mustache but In spite OF his he WAS
recognized by hi- friends who lost no
time asking him for Information both
regarding himself and his suicide
He had no other explanation to Offer
than that he had oeen In North Dsko.

sufficient reason for his peculiar b.

About two moaths ago Mr.. Fuda

thing would have been all right. This,
however, he neglected to do and con-

his home and neiRhborhood were
busily engaged shedding tears to show
their Infinite admiration and respect

remsined to mourn his sudden and
unexpected departure. Twice some of
his friends went to Minneapolis to see

courage to kill himself and that this
view of the matter was the correct one

AS yet the suicide remains absent

Willmar tribune., 1905-02-01

Due to the splendid efforts put forth
by our debating team Willmar now
enjoys the honor OF being the home of
the Champion Dsbaters OF the Seventh
District. Three times they have gone
forth to GRO ss swords with strong ad
versaries and three times they have
returned victorious. This is ill the
more gratifying as the general opin-
ion in our city seemed to be that our
team was destined to be put out of the
race by the very first team they should
happen to run up against. When it
defeated Redwood Falls most OF our
citizens were surprised, when Madison
also went down to defeat they were
astonished, but when furthermore even
Appleton met her Waterloo, they were
amazed and thoroughly delighted.
But in no case did the boys have an.
easy time of it and 1t was only after
three hard fought battles that they
were awarded the much sought after
prize, the championship of the dis.
trict.
The debate with Appleton last Fri.
day proved as two sided as either of
the previous ones and it was only by
= mastery and powerful rebuttal that
our eam~secured the majority vote of
the judges.
A dispatch to the Minneapolis Jour.
nal gives the following account of the
debate: !:
- Wallace Martin, who opened the
debate Tor Wf1lmar, contended t6s1f
the policy OF the Uaited States in5the
past, has been to afford liberty loving
people and homeseekers a home, but
that at present the conditions within
the United States have become changed,
there being fewer places for laborers
and less land for them to settle upon.
Further, that the character of the i'm,
migrants has changed, the majority
Of them being below the standard of
the earlier classes. Marion Hayes,
for Appleton, based his arguments on
the assertion that total exclusion OF
all except those having relatives was
prohibited by International law and
that the point was not to exclude, but
to distribute, assimilate and protect
them.
''Our duty was to distribute the i'm
migrants by establishing more ports
of entry, giving them information and
directing them where to 60.
"Maurice Jenness asserted that up
to 1891 the northern part Of Europe
contributed the majority of the immi-
