THE MISSING CARETAKER HAD
MANY ALIASES.
DR.. Pinault Returns and Is Making a
Careful Inventory to Establish Just
What Historic Relics Are Missing
Police Believed to Have Put Law

Positive that the looting of the huge
safe in his Mount Curve avenue home
was the work of an exceedingly clever
professional crook, and realizing the
Importance of an early start in the
search for cunning criminal, DR.. josh
ua N. Pinault reached home yesterday
to take charge of the hunt for his miss
sensational robbery. It is further init

taker obtained employment with DR..
Pinault with the sole design Of maxi

ued silver that formed the principal
loot of the cleverly executed crime.
The police have charged DR.. Pinault
that not word relative to the case
must be uttered. Other sources OF
information have been effectively
made by the police cannot be definitely
traced. It is known, however, that the
return Of DR.. Pinault and his inven-
tory of the property has lent ,substan-
tiation to the first fears of the police,
and that the robbery is one Of the most
important in years, and that one OF
! the most sagacious crooks who ever
| operated in the city is the quarry who
will test the best efforts Of Superin'
tendent Doyle's most astute detectives

That some Of the priced silver plate
that did service in the household OF
Louis XVI of France was in the loot
is indicated by the hurried trip Of DR.
Pinault from his winter home at Pass

and Gratifying Effect and Managers
Were Joyful-Comnittee Receives
Many Sidelights on Encampment Pos
sibilities-Many Big Posts Ask Room.

Urged by the second call Of the
Grand Army encampment finance COM
mittee, Minneapolis is coming to the
front in it's old-time typical style with
generous subscriptions for the encamp-
ment fund. The first mail today brought
pledges and money amounting to
$1,312.50. Six hundred dollars of this
amount was from a prominent jobbing
house, the balance in smaller subscrip-
tions. This amount was increased SD
or more by later pledges.
it will not be the fault of the committee
if generous fund is not Forthcoming.
A never-give-up policy has been
adopted and the committee will keep
hammering away at it steadily every
day. Prompt replies are what the COM
mittee wants, and to get them it pro-
poses to give lessons to the public in
| the art Of prompt and generous Civ

ture that will no doubt appeal to every
resident of Minneapolis who has
friends or relatives elsewhere.
The writer confided to the committee
that he was willing to do his share Of
the work of entertainment. but felt
that charity began at home. He stated
that he expected to entertain during
encampment week twenty members Of
his immediate family. Eight uncles, all
veterans, his father, who is veteran,
and enough aunts, cousins and high

have announced their intentions of Wis.

Record Breaking Crowd.
From the hundreds Of requests for res
ervations and special accommodations
that are coming in it is safe to say that
the crowd that will visit Minneapolis
| during encampment week will be the
largest in the history of forty years Of
| encampments. The interest is general
all over the United States: Prominent
posts are especially active and are seek
ing quarters for from 100 to 500 men
| each. Many have their own camp out
fits, which they will bring with cooks
and other helpers, and only ask to be
given suitable ground assignments
where they may maintain their camps.
The committee can accommodate all OF
these easily and well and believes that
| these post camps will be one of the most
pleasing features of the Minneapolis en-.
campment.
