assistant with the former printer. He
wanted to meet his new assistant and
talk things over, and" sent word by
Alderman Lynch of st. Paul, who is a
brother of the St: James man. An
appointment was arranged at one OF the
st. Paul hotels for certain day and a
certain hour: '.&~
Williams paced the corridor waiting
for his man, and prompt on the minute

SOUTH DAKOTA COLONY

1t is unlikely that the colored people
of Minneapolis will send any of their
number to the negro colony projected
for South Dakota, -..
Paul l.. Scott, colored, successful
cafe owner at Mitchell, S. d., is be-
hind the movement. He proposes a
coloney of 100000 colorred people,
gathered mainly from the great cities.
He is now negotiating for large tract
to be divided into 50-acre farms.
''The practicability of Scott s
scheme has already been demonstrated
right in our own state,' said William
R. Morris, colored attorney, this morn
ing. ...several years ago a colony of
Kentucky and settled on a tract, in
Aitkin county. It has been very sue
cessful and all it's members are now
I'm St: Paul and Minneapolis there
are about 4,3OO colored people. : In
Duluth there are 500 more, and nearly
as many scattered thru the state. Min

cause of the condition Of the colored
people here. When I came to Mime.
apolis fifteen years ago, there were but
ten colored. families that owned their
homes. There are now at least 200 fam.
lilies in their own homes. In short, it
has generally proved true that in Min.
neapolis colored people who wanted
work, who wanted to get along in the
world and do well, have been able to
do so. Since they are so prosperous
here it is improbable that any number
could be induced to join the South Da

SMOKE MENACED. LIVES
FIRE IN A TENEMENT BLOCK AT
TENDED BY DANGER TO SLEEP
ING FAMILIES. ..:..-..@

A fire, probably caused by sponta,,
neous combustion in rags saturated
with turpentine, caused a loss of about
$500 to the shoe store Of John A. Sc
derberg, 1918 Washington avenue s,
last hight. The building is: a. three.
story brick structure and a dozen fam
lies occupy the two upper floors. It
was with the greatest difficulty that
these persons were awakened and taken
safely to the ground, as the building
was filled with sitting smoke, caused
by the burning leather. .~ f.. t.-= 49,. p.
Engine company No. s, the first on
the scene, devoted itself to quenching
the fire on the first floor, while the other
companies went thru the upper floors
and awakened the sleeping persons. In
to take time to don their clothing, and
they were forced into the street in the
fimsiest of night garments. Stores and
houses were thrown open for their re-
ception. - ..t'.,....rs,#
But little damage was done to the
upper stories and this was from smoke.
| Among the spectators were George
Gill and Carl Dahl, who, hearing the
cries of two children after the build
| ing was supposed to be emptied Of it's
occupants, rushed up thru the binding,
| choking smoke and soon reappeared
| carrying two small children who had
been overlooked. &:
Mr.. Sederberg, when seen this morn
ing, said that he had been going over
his fixtures yesterday with turpentine
but failed to finish the Job last night.
! He left the rags he had used lying upon
the floor, and attributes the fire to that
cause. The stock is partially insured.

MUCH ROOM FOR

CEMENT PRODUCTS MANUFAC.
TURERS PLAN BIG MEETING.
Entire Fourth Floor of the City and
County Building to be Placed at Their
Disposal - Cement-Working Machin-
cry a Part of the Exhibit "A Model
Building.

Secretary H. A. Rogers Of the North
west Concrete Manufacturers associa-
tion expressed his belief that the com
ing convention Of the organization is al
ready an assured success. The meeting
will be held in the city and county
building, Minneapolis, on Jan q 25
and 26. Invitations have been issued
to all producers of concrete materials in
the northwest and from. the responses
received a large attendance is in pros
pect.
The purpose of the meeting is to
bring together the manufacturers of
cement products and the consumers.
To accomplish this invitations have
been issued to engineers, architects, con-
the progress and development Of the
concrete industry. .t<5 -
I The convention and displays will take
| up the entire fourth floor of the city
and county building and the most com
modious quarters ever enjoyed by a con-
vention in Minneapolis will be at the
service Of those attending. There will
be papers and discussions touching
upon the various uses Of Portland and
native cements covering the field OF
building blocks, freproofng, sidewalks
sewerpipe, cement brick and all the
uses of cement products. --..- -
An exhibit of these products is sure
to prove one of the interesting features
of the convention and this will be add ded
to by display of cement manufactur
ing and working machinery. Reduceo
rates for those attending the convention
from distance have been arranged.
One Of the exhibits--too big for the
city and county building-wlll be tn
ting company. This is one Of the
latest and best examples of cement con
struction in Minneapolis. This. plant
will probably be thrown open to lnspec
tion Of the visiting manufacturers anc
their guests.
Cement working machinery firms from
Chicago, CIR Il Rapids, Minneapolis anc
st. Paul have already arranged for ex
hibit, and by the opening day it il
thought that more will be in line. The
local Officers Of the convention are

Unless something happens the new
city jail on the fifth floor Of the city
hall will be in use early in February.
The jail and offices as well as the new
police courtroom are finished and the
only. thing needful is to get the new
jail elevator in working order. With
out this the prisoners cannot be taken

According to members Of the police

Thirty-four Of the cells are in the

boys under l6 years old There are
three distinct wards in this department,

are fitted with mattresses for the women
and the young girls cells are fitted with
comfortable cots. Four baths complete

In the men 8 cell block, there are nc

see fit. In this corridor is a wash bow
and a jar for drinking water.

NO STATE ORGANIZATION
M. G.. White Says Gamers Will Re11rai1
-. Independent, 49,

M. G. White of Chatfeld, says that
no temporary organization of canning
factories in the state was formed Thurs
day at the meeting Of proprietors at
the Commercial club. A committee Of
five decided that it was better to have
each factory remain independent, to ad-
vertise it's own output, to make con-
tracts for its own raw material and to
dispose of its own pack. It was also
decided that any combination would
tend to force the good factories to help
the poor ones, therefore there is to be
no organization this year.
