WILL DEDICATE ARMORY

Minneapolis new armory on Ken
wood boulevard will have its first for
NAL public opening Monday night, when
the four Minneapolis companies of the
national guard, Companies A, B, F and
I, with the Battery B band, will hold
dress parade and inspection. The oc-
casion will be the first formal gather
ing Of the guard for drill in the new
building, and the first opportunity to
see the Minneapolis battalion on pa
rade in its new home. -
Major Oscar Seebach of Red Wing
will be in command Monday evening
and Colonel Frank r.. Corriston Of Min
neapolis will conduct the review. Bat
terry B band is ready with an elaborate
program and the galleries Of the main
hall will be open to the public.
It is planned to make these dress pa
rades and inspections attractive and in
teresting affairs. The numerical
strength Of the guard will probably be
greatly increased and it is hoped that
the entire city will come to take a
general interest in the movement. In
other large cities dress parade and in
spections are invitation affairs and
form an important part Of the win.

CITES LEAD
STIRS UP CHICAGO
MINNESOTA RATE, REDUCTION
TIE LAST STRAW.
Windy City Feels That It Is Shut Out
Of Much Good Territory and Com
mercial Association Will Try to In
duce Northern Lines to Reconsider.

Rate reductions in the state of Min
nesota and, on the northern lines ex-
tending into North Dakota, have
aroused the Chicago Commercial asso-
citation. The reduction was made by
all railroads in Minnesota in agreement
with the state railroad commission IS
request, but the Chicago association
will make it's first attack on the Hill
lines, and has arranged. for a meeting
when it will lay before them petit
ton for reconsideration. -
1t is commended that the revision Of
the schedules will work to the disad-
vantage Of Chicago as against the al
most impregnable position the twin
cities occupy in the northwest and it is
charged by the members Of the Com
mercial association that any changes
that have been made arbitrarily will

trial center, depends for its output.
: ,.A Chicago Whipsawed. - u =.
In the last six months the tariffs
have been so arranged from north to
south and from south to north that it
is stated that Chicago has been COM
pletely isolated, SO far as the grain and
commercial markets are concerned,
felt. Statistics and instances will be
cited to show that Chicago is the OBJ
ject Of discrimination, and that any
revision Of tariffs without the assent Of
Chicago merchants and manufacturers
is unjust and that the results are OBJ
viously adverse to the welfare Of the
petitioners. 49,.
elbow the Hill interests managed to
switch the tariff on the Chicago mer-
chants, in the fact of the Interstate
commerce law, is subject of consid-
dispatch. "Western railroads will be
asked to establish such tariffs as will
nullify the action Of the Hill roads,
and since the latest move by the
Northern Pacific and the Great North
ern system it is believed the western
carriers will give their consent to as
early revision as can be made within
the provision Of the interstate COM
merce law

CAUCUS IN SEVENTH
| DELAYS DECISION
TIE VOTE BETWEEN JOHNSON
Z. AND RoCKNE REPORTED.
Six Candidates for Speaker Given a.
Hearing, and Small Army of Po1iti-
Clans Was on Hand to Work, but
Delegation Fooled Them AL by Adj
journing to Dec. II.

Twelve good men and true considered
the speakership question at Granite
Falls last evening, and failed to come
to any conclusion. The deliberations
OF the seventh district caucus were so
protracted that none of the outside
politicians were able to get away on
all day. &
Reports from the juryroom indicate
that the contest finally narrowed down
to johnson and Rockne, and that a
vote was taken giving each man sig.
The delegation wants to hang together,
and wants to play with the winning
combination. and the final action was
to adjourn till Dec. IT, when the twelve
mem bers will meet again at the Ryan
hotel, st. Paul. q
No less than six candidates for speak
er attended the caucus, and each one
was given a separate audience with the
delegation before it tool" up tho SUBJ
lect for. discussion. There were N. E..
Hugo Of Duluth, A. J. Rockne Of Zun1-
brota, w. a. Nolan Of Grand Meadow,
Ambrose Tighe Of st. Paul, r. J. Wells
o of breckenridge and 1. H. Johnson Of
other candidates had friends on the
delegation, but Johnson and Rockne
had the strength, and It soon devel-
oped that the choice lay between the
two. The long postponement Of the
seventh s. decision probably means a
protracted contest for the speakership.
This is what the candidates profess to
want. go ~.
There were more lawyers than jury, at
Granite Falls. Nh. Hugo had with him
W. I. Nolan and John G.. Lennon Of
the .Hennepin delegation, Ole Peterson
Of NicoIlet and James .McMunan Of
Minneapolis: B: H. Timberlake accom-
panied l.. II. johnson. Buzdette Thayer
Of Spring Valley was on hand helping
W. 4. Nolan, and with him was Asa NJ.
Wallace Of Fairfax. While Nolan is
pledged to Senator Nelson, he is being
supported for speaker by Joel P. Heat;
Nolan 8 candidacy is an anti-Nelson
move. Nolan declares that his candi=
dacy is bona fide, and that the first dis
try splits the country strength, which
was disposed to line up for either John
son or Rockne. ..
R. J. Wells had John T. Lommen of
Comstock and H: Q. Biorge Of Lake
Park, two other ninth district members,
on hand with him. ~,

Railway Commission Tells His
Troubles to the Governor To-day

James Manahan had his conference
with Governor johnson today. The
young attorney who is after the state
railroad commission was closeted in the
executive office for about an hour. He
dld not come prepared to present his
formal complaint, but said:
The question of procedure is a very
INDEFINITE one, and I want. to talk that
ever with the governor before taking
formal steps, Later will file writ
ten complaint with my transcript of the
proceedings. I want to 20 over the
whole, question with the governor in.
formally, and acquaint him with the
circumstances from our point of view.
The Manahan complaint will ask for
the removal of all three commissioners
from office on the grounds Of NAL
feasance, in office and neglect of duty.
The definite grounds Of the complaint
have not been determined yet, but it

enter into any controversy with Mana

say that it was not the shippers who
were ruled out, it was ,Manahan. He

him to continue conducting the whole
proceeding. AS long as he was given

NICOLLET FIRMS CHANGE
Spreading Out Of Big Concerns Makes
Smaller Ones Move. -. r.


Prophesied changes in Nicollet avenue
tenantry, owing to expansion Of quar-
tiers by other firms and the rise in rents,
are beginning to take form.
The Bell-McCord Drug company,
which must move from Sixth and Mic
ollet, location the store has held for
many years, has leased the ground
floor corner Of the new Pearce- Walton
building at Ninth street and Nicollet
avenue. This will be ready to occupy
by spring. The Kimball Piano COM
pany is reported to have secured the
entire new Knoblauch building on Mic
ollet near Eighth street. An option
was secured today on the Sea block
corner at Ninth and Nicollet, owned by
George D. Dayton. Eastern money will
probably erect a fine building on that
corner.
A score or more other tenants Of Mic
allet avenue property will make changes
in the next year, and some firms on the
cross streetsc will change their loca-
tions. The expansion Of the Dayton
Dry Goods company to occupy the en-
tire ground floor OF the building will
make it necessary for several firms to
move. 81

Using Mistake in Charge.

Frank Brown, arrested on a charge
Of yagrancy by Frank Colwell, rail
road detective, who suspected him of
pocket on Minneapolis & St. Louis
train, may go free because Of a tech.
meal error.
Brown was arraigned and tried on a
complaint charging him with vagrancy
on Nov. rs. When the trial was nearly
over it was discovered that the man
was arrested on the Oath. A new COM
plant was made out, correcting the
date. A. t.~is
Michael Brady, his attorney, now
asks for dismissal, saying that the
man has once been tried and that a
second tri al will place the defendant
twice in jeopardy for the same offense.
The change Of complaint should have
been made, he says, before any evil
dence was taken in the case. Judge
Waite has continued the case and City
Prosecutor AL Finney and Mr.. Brady

MACHINES SAVE CASH
Election Bills Will Not Exceed $50, 900
$4,000 Under Appropriation.

It is believed that the expenses Of
the late primary and general election
in Minneapolis will fall under 100000,
pense of two years ago. The bills al
ready allowed foot about $4,000. Out
standing bills ss far as Dan G. Brown,
city controller, can compute will hardly
exceed $500. Unless some unexpected
expense should be presented the cost
will not exceed 100000. The appro-
priation was $4,000 and altho deficit
Of $3.50 was carried from the election
Of 1904 there will be a neat little sur
plus. The saving is due to the use
of voting machines.
