NO TAINTED MONEY
George D. Dayton Says Recipient II
Not Responsible.

That the recipient of money is not
responsible for the manner in which it
was acquired by: the donor and that
churches may well make use of all the
so-called "tainted money! that comes
into their hands, without being parties
to sin, was a point made by George D.
Dayton, in discussing the subject in his
Bible class att the First Presbyterian
church yesterday: p. Mr.. Dayton when
seen today was DESTROYS Of keeping out
of discussion Of "tainted money!
but reiterated the sentiment he ex-
pressed: ~ @
= 'sI made my remarks just incidental
" in my Bible class and had no idea
that reporter would discover what 1
said,' said Mr.. Dayton, q still argue,
however, that the receiver is not respon-
sible for the manner in which the donor
made his money. He is responsible only
for the disbursement Of the donation,
and if the money is spent in the deve!-
opment of good and worthy projects, l
hold that it's acceptance is entirely justi-
fed.'

Presbyterian yesterday, were unique. In

Dan PATCH NOW A
GOOD METHODIST
RELIGIOUS scRUPLEs INTERFERE
WITH EXHIBITION AT TORONTO.
M. w. Savage, His Owner, Won't Let
Him Go if Pools and Liquor Are Sold
on the Grounds, and the LS-al Man
agement Has Been Permitting These
Practices.

If the board Of control Of the city of
Toronto can be convinced of the sin
cerity Of the religious scruples of Dan
Patch, his owner NJ. w. Savage, and his
manager in the present case, III. O. Da-
Wis, all of Minneapolis, there is posi-
bility that Dan will be able to pace an
exhibition mile in the capital Of Onta-
rio. At present it is very much Of an
open question whether the horse will be
ing of the half-mile track at Exhibition
park.
Mr.. Savage, the owner Of the great
horse, is unalterably opposed to betting
and the sale Of liquor on tracks where
Dan is to appear. The Toronto Board
Of Control takes the same stand, and
for that reason closed the track at Elk
hibition park last week because the
Toronto Driving club was openly allow
ing betting and bookmaking. Dam il
scheduled to appear at this, track OF
Oct. 81, but before the park will b
| opened to him, the board will have tt
be assured that there will be nothing
doing but racing. .ts..
| Mr.. Davis, who is representing MI
Savage in Toronto, is having his hand
full in trying to straighten out affairs
Mr.. Savage stipulated in his contrac
that there was to be no betting or ban
but the Toronto Driving club wit
! whom the contract was made, was in
clined to ignore these provisions. NOV
the track has been closed. On top o
this the country has been liberall
billed for a distance of 200 miles abou
the city, excursions have been arrange
and there are all sorts Of interest in tn
appearance of the king of all race
horses. This expense amounting t
several thousand dollars will be tots
loss unless the board decides to allo7
Mr.. Savage to open the park. zig
| Mr.. Davis has offered to give heav
bonds as a guaranty that all sportin
side lines will be eliminated. He he
also called the attention of the boar
to Mr.. Savage's stand in q similar ma
ter last summer. Mr.. Savage was O.
fered $4,000 for the betting and b.
privilege at Delmar Park, st. Louis, II
one day. His reply by wire was, $50
ry, but Dan Patch Joined the Methods
church two years ago.
. Mr.. Davis announces that the hor'
will appear. He left Lexington {
Friday and is now in Toronto. It
believed that the board will accept Il
guarantee Of Mr.. Savage and Mr.. Day
and allow the use Of the park. ,.s. TT

A WORLDS FLOUR RECORD
TIE PIILsBURY A MILL Elk
UEEDED EVEN IT'S OWN SUP
POSED CAPACITY ON SATURDAY.

The worlds record for one days
grinding of -four in one mill was brok-
en- in Minneapolis Saturday. The Pills
bury A mill in twenty-fonr hours turned
out the astounding total of 15,267 bar
rels Of -four. This is more -four than
any other two -four mills in. the world
could turn out in the same time. The ma
chimes devoured 10000 bushels of wheat
in making the flour and 500 men, work
ing in three shifts were kept busy at
the work.
The days output Of -four will fill
seventy-fve cars and when the bran,
millfeed and offal is loaded the total
will fill 200 cars. The A mills best
previous record was $4,000 barrels,
which was supposed to be the limit Of it's
capacity. But the Pillsbury- Washburn
company now has need for every barrel
of flour it's mills can turn out and none
Of them is allowed to shut down for any
cause Whatsoever. The bag companies are
working night and day to supply the
4 the necessary bags and the barrel
companies are just as busy. The -four
market was never better and this means
| busy times on the platform.
I The company's officials are naturally
proud Of the record made on Saturday
which is likely to stand for some time
as the world-record on flour output fol
1 one day from one mill.

TELEPHONE POLES IN T ARK.
EIGHTH WARD RESIDENTS FEAR
COMPANY WILL SET UP MORE
PARK OFFICIALS CONFIDENT.

Residents in the vicinity Of the
eighth ward park have been on the
alert recently to prevent the North
ting a line Of poles up thru the middle
Of the park. which includes the block
between Aldrich and Bryant avenues
and Thirty-frst and Thirty second,
streets.
In extending its lines the company
started, a few days ago, to cross the
park. One pole had been set. and an
other was partially set when the park
board, on complaint of wideawake resi-
dents, near the park, ordered the work
to cease. The order was obeyed and
the poles removed. 1t was supposed
that the incident was closed. The park
board has control of the entire block,
the public alley previously extending
the length Of the block having been
vacated by the council at the request
of the park board.
The telephone company may have
| been unaware Of the fact that there
was no alley in the block, but a few
days later the pole-setting screw was on
the ground and before the park board
could interfere had set three poles. one
at either end Of the block and one
near the middle. No further poles have
been set, nor have any wires been
strung, but the poles are still standing
and the people interested in the park
fear that further work will be done il
a short time.
! No apprehension is felt by the parl
i officials, however, as they express con
fidence that nothing more will be done

NEWPARKS AREDISCUSSED
LONG JOHNS POND PROJECT BE-
FORE THE BOARD - OTHER
PLANS POSTPONED.

Long John IS pond in Northeast Min
neapolis was formally before the park
board this afternoon for final decision
on it's future prospects as a park. There
is no particular objection to the designa-
ton Of the Long Johns pond tract for
park purposes either within the park
board or without and the only reason
the report Of the condemnation commits
sioners was not adopted before is that
the legal number Of votes have not been
present at the later meetings of the
park board. .-
Camden Place will not secure park
for some time. Proceedings have vir.
tually been suspended and if the mat.
ter is taken up by the park commission.
ers at present it is expected that they
will vote for indefinite postponement.
Action will be deferred for short
time on the plan to acquire additional
land for the Riverside parkway in the
vicinity of the government dam. The
awards for: the land are not satisfac
tory to the owners, but they are moi
unreasonable in their demands and some
arrangements may be made SO that
all opposition will be removed. H.
