This was the result Of meeting of
the special council committee appointed

and to take steps to prevent, if pos;
horror. The committee discussed the
subject in general way and, in addi-
ton to the suggestions from Fire Chief
j. R. Canterbury and the building in
spector, received much instructive in
formation and advice from J. A. Brant
Of the underwriters organization and

TO BOOM ST. LOUIS BAY
rs STATED HOTEL ST. LOUIS WILL
BE OPENED AGAIN AND BUSY
LIFE RESTORED.

st. Louis bay will be one Of the busy
points on Lake Minnetonka this sum-
mer, according to the present prospects.
It is stated on good authority that Ho-
tel st. Louis, which has been practically
closed, so far as the general public is
concerned, for several years, will be
when the lake and the house were the
sum mer resort Of the south.
Thomas Lowry secured the ground on
which the big hostelry stands some time
ago, and it is said that he also controls
the hotel, and may operate it during the
coming summer. The Minnetonka Yacht
club leased the property last year for
it's clubhouse.
There is every reason to believe that
Minneapolis will experience a revival of
the old-time summer travel next sum-
mer. Many national bodies will meet
here. The large touring companies of
the east plan to bring thousands of
tourists thru here during the season,
stopping in the city to rest en- route.
With all these strangers in the city dur

The acquisition Of the Milwaukee lake

will be fully electrified and ready fol

Friday evening, Feb. %, she will be
seen in her most popular sentimental
tragedy, one. which has been SO much
in demand since the beginning of her
farewell tour of America that extra
matinees and extraordinary perform

clamor.
The story of .tCamille' is one Of
unique and morbid novelty, written !, In
the strongest vein of Dumas, Ills.
Camille is the type of repentant Mag
dalene set in framework of French
courtesan life.
Imbued with spirit of deep re-
pentance, she attempts to lead the life
for which her better nature calls, but
when the father of Armand appeals, to
society and denies her the right to her
newborn happiness in a faithful and
honest love for the younger DuvaI
she relapses and becomes again the
figure Of the underworld. so beautiful

with mortgaged property, and SNUG

It is charged that the two men now
under arrest purchased horses, farm
machinery, wagons and harness worth
$4,000 in Saskatchewan last September,
securing credit by representing that
they owned land in the province where
they have resided for about two years.
After securing the property, it is al

divided and sold, but was later located
by the customs officials and attached
for duty because it had been struggled

same pair made big haul last June and
succeeded in making getaway with it.
The amount. alleged to have been real

FOOTBALL DEBATES

form crusade inaugurated by the big

: The council will meet this evening
for discussion of the conference
rules, and as the annual meeting of
the Minnesota alumni will be held to-
night at the armory, nothing but foot
ball talk, with predictions as to the
attitude Of faculty and alumni in re-
gard to the game, can be heard on the
campus. -
In the opinion of university stu
dents there will be no rkadical action
Northrop is a firm friend of football
and that he has expressed himself as
opposed to submitting to dictation in
regard to Minnesota IS attitude On
the other hand, it is recognized at the
university that Dean Jones made a de-
termined fight to save the game at the
recent meeting Of the conference and
that the rules adopted, while radical,
were agreed to by Minnesota's repre-
from absolute abolition. It is believed
that Minnesota will 60 slow and adopt
a conciliatory attitude.
Many of the rules adopted by the
| conference, including the rule, limiting

is doubtful whether Minnesota will
officially reject any Of the big nine
regulations. $. ::

Sixteen representatives Of the

the Offices of the railroad and ware
house commission.
The travelling men ask that the west
ern roads unite in issuing a 5,00O-mile
book for 800, without rebate, and good
on any road. If that is not granted,
they ask that the northern roads Join
in the credential mileage scheme of the
Western Passenger association, which
allows a rebate of $40 after $l20 has
been paid out for tickets. They also
asked in the complaint that the bag
gage allowance be increased from $50
to $50 pounds, but agreed today to
waive that proposition.
The Western Passenger association
roads now require $50 payment on a
