500 ROAD TO run
A GARBAGE TRAIN
EFFICIENCY OF CITY COLLECTION
WILL BE DOUBLED
BY Hauling the Refuse to the Work
house Crematory on Train, the Long
Wagon Haul Will Be Eliminated and
the Wagons Can Make More Collec-
/. tions.

The 500 road viii haul the city's
garbage to the crematory next summer.
This willzbe good news to every house
wife in the city, for it means that the
health department, with the same equip
ment, of garbage wagons and men, will
be able to do more than twice as much
work as last year. go
Sections of the city which last year
had only weekly collections will have
will be extended over a much larger ter
rltory, while districts which formerly
did not have the benefit of any garbage
collection can now be accommodated.
"a While no definite terms have been OBJ
tanned from the 500, ample assurance
has been given the health department
officials that the rates will be satisfac-
tory to warrant them in going ahead
with the work. - -. ..
At the council meeting last evening,
the clerk was instructed to advertise for
bids for new crematory building at
a location to the west Of the present
one, on the workhouse grounds. An
ordinance granting permission to the
500 road to run spur track to the
Workhouse grounds was also presented
The health department. officials are
greatly elated over the prospects. The

factory garbage collection except at a
tremendous expense. The agreement
with the 500 places the entire question
on an entirely different basis, and the
department can now undertake the
work on a scale which will show re.
suits. Several downtown stations will
eventually be established for the col.
lection Of garbage for the workhouse
special.' The road will build special
cars for this service, taking as pat.
tern the cars used by the. city of
Cleveland in conveying it's refuse out

BOY HAS A NARROW
ESCAPE FROM FLAMES

=, Emmons, the 14-year-old son Of Mrs.
s. Abeles, 2115 Aldrich avenue s, had a
narrow escape from death last night by
a fire which nearly destroyed the family
home.
The boy had gone up stairs to look for
something in a closet, and held a lighted
candle in his hand. AS he was over
hauling some clothing the garments
caught fire from the candle and he was
soon surrounded by flames. He attempted
at first to smother the flames with his
hands. and when. he started out to the
hallway the flames were shooting out
the doorway, nearly blocking the exit.
He managed to escape, with only a
slight scorching, and an alarm was
turned in. The fire department responded
promptly, but the fire had broken thru
into the attic and caused considerable
trouble. After. the fremen left, the
flames started up again, and second
run had to be made. p
The roof Of the house was the only part
damaged by fire, but the furniture was
slightly damaged by smoke and water.
The loss will be about $500.

NEW READINGROOM
IS DULY ACCEPTED
PUBLIC LIBRARY MECCA FOR
-, YOUNG MINNEAPOLIS.
Thousands Of Youngsters Visit New
Juvenile Department and Eagerly
Inspect New OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
Keeps Open House All Day-Rooms
Well Adapted to Youthful Readers.

Juvenile patrons Of the public library
room today, and from $3.50 am until
the closing hour, the juvenile depart
ment was thronged to its utmost ca
pacity. That the arrangements met
with the approval of the younger ele-
ment was evident at a glance.
In expressing his feelings Of delight
one of the boy readers was heard to
say most enthusiastically, "By golly,
this is peach,' while the little misses
whispered in delight, cts perfectly
lovely.'
Everything Is New.
So it is. Everything to please the
youngsters is at hand, A large, airy
room, bright, cheerful settings, pict-
ures of Mother Goose characters in
poster style, ferns in the window stills,
and, last Of all-thousands Of books.
Think of it! Two thousand brand new
books for the young readers! The JOY
was great, and the boys and girls had
lively scramble to take possession of
their favorite books.
The room has fifteen high windows
and there is light in even the remotest
corner. When necessary, light is sup
piled by three immense electric lights
Light frame bookcases are Du1lt dgalnS
the walls and hold the many brightly
bound books. Seven large oak tables
round and square, with many comforta
BILE seats for children Of all ages, are
placed about the room, SO that reading
will be a matter of pleasure and com
fort. AS souvenir, the children re
ceived the new bookmarks, each bear
ing the six principal rules, which viii
help to make the department. one of the
best kept children's libraries in thu
United States.
Smile for All.
Miss Countryman, the librarian, re:
ceived, and during the morning and at
tcrnoon the other library assistants
dropped in occasionally to tighten hel
burden as hostess. Miss Stella Louise
Woods, assisted by several of the popu
lar young kindergarteners, held story
hours, and the little visitors listened
with delight to some Of the fables
which Miss Wood worked cleverly into
amusing stories. Boys and girls up tc
the age of 16 frequent the depart
ment, and last year the registration OF
| Juveniles at the central office was 125
600. There is no dou BIT but that the
| new reading room will increase the cir
culation to twice that number. The
department will be open every after
Lnoon after 1880.

MAYOR ADMITS DEFEAT
: BY THE CITY COUNCIL

, Mayor David P. Jones admits his de-
feat by the council in the Patterson in
candescent lighting fight and if there are
no legal obstacles he will submit to the
will of twenty aldermen and sing the
warrants for the street lighting when
they were presented. .-..-..-.-
The legal questions involved, however,
may compel him to withhold his signature
until the obstacles have been overcome.
The contention of City Controller Dan
G. Brown that no lighting bills can be
paid without duly executed contracts be-
ing In force has some import. Mr.. Brown
said today that he would confer with
his attorney again and the questions will
be fully discussed. He is willing that Mr.
Patterson should have his money as soon
as possible, but intends to abide by the
charter, whether it. is right or wrong.

ATTITUDE or CHAMBER
Absolutely No Hostility Towards tn
Farmers EXCHANGE,

. First official expression Of the feeling
of the Minneapolis Chamber of" Com
merce towards the new force y in the
grain trade, the Farmers exchange, was
heard today. The Chamber is not hos
tile to the newcomers. To date it's at
titude has been a waiting one. The
meeting in Minneapolis this week and
the visit Of many delegates to the trad
ing floor, made the situation little Diff
much conjecture INDUCED in as to what
would happen should the farmers pre-
sent an application and demand admis-
sion.
Some time ago such an application
| was submitted and turned down. While
no official statement covering this case
IS made, it is understood that the re-
fusal to admit the applicant at that
time was due purely to reasons that
sion and not meeting all requirements
and not to any effort on the part Of the
directors to exclude a representative Of
the farmers. ~.s .@..s. g.. 49,.
There is, in the organization of the
farmers, a provision, not so definite a!
to be open to Interpretation at glance
but understood to provide for the divi
sion Of profits among its members. A
to whether OF not this would confsic
with the rlle requiring members t,
maintain uniform rate Of charge TO
service, and prohibiting cutting Of com
missions. It is question for lawye
to answer The Chamber officially ha
not gone into the matter. RI
;. Peter B. Smith, president of tn,
chamber, is +en route for China. In hi
absence H. F. Douglas, acting presi
dent, outlined the attitude of the bod,
as follows:
"There is absolutely no sentiment, a
an association, hostile to this farmers
| organization, which would proven
| their application from receiving fai
consideration. Their right to organic
I and to do business is unquestioned
Should they apply for membership il
!, the Minneapolis Chamber Of Commerce
such application would receive exactl
the same consideration as that of an;
other association, corporation, firm o
1 individual. I know of no application
from them now pending. The Chambe
of Commerce is a mutual association
1t reserves the right to inquire int
the financial standing, character, etc
Of any applicant and conducts its bus
ness subject to rules applicable alik
7 to all. An application from the Farm
ers Exchange would receive exactl
the same consideration accorded an
other.

DEEP PROBLEM in
UNRULY CHILDREN
NEW INSTITUTION NEEDED rs
CRYsTALIZED SENTIMENT.
AT Meeting Of Charitable and Social
Workers, Necessity Of Institution In
termediate Between Public School
and Home System and Red Wing
School Is Pointed Out.

Minneapolis must have an institu
tion intermedite between the ordinary
school and home system and the state
school at Red Wing, in which to care
for children who are not amenable ia
existing conditions. p, -
This was the gist Of discussion at
the meeting of charitable and socia
agencies called today by the Juvenile
court committee of the Teachers club
Mrs. Alice Cooley, president of the
Teachers, club, was elected chairman.

home declared that; what the juvenile

You would be surprised at the num-
Der OF girls and boys who are brought
into the jail for no other offense than
being out late at night,' said Police
Matron Schaeffer. t'Last year 16G
women and girls were lodged in the jail
In the same period 125 boys under II
were taken in.o@
Judge Q. L. Smith of the municipal
tions. He said that ehree-fourth of
the bad boys were due to good mothers
and that the public school teachers
were responsible for much delinquency
In explanation of the first point he said
that the Overlooking mother who felt
that her boy could do no wrong was re.
sponsible for, much lawlessness. He
was convinced that few teachers, al
least, deliberately undertook to run un.
ruly children out Of school rather than
give them the attention they required.
DR.. Jordan replied to this last state
m1ent, saying that it was no part OF
the teacher g work to reform the pupil
who was abnormally bad, that her time
belonged rather to those scholars who
were willing and anxious to learn. The
great difficulty was that there were
many boys who had nothing to do. DR.
Jordan also called attention to the
point that bad boys were not the only
problem, that birls could be and, TOT
often were, as bad as boys. The solu
ton he offered was, %'To find out whar

RESISTS EXTRADITION
Robinson, Of Bucketshop Fame. CIings to
New York.

While Edward A. Vaughan, who a year
ago posed as one of the high financiers
of Minneapolis, languishes in the Henne-
pin county jail, his partner, and perhaps
leader in the big mail-order bucketshop
sWindle, "Peanuts'' Robinson, is making
a. gallant fight against extradition from
New York.
Robinson, who was arrested in New
York by the postal inspectors early in
November, has SO far defied all attempts
to bring him out of the empire state. He
has taken advantage. of the stringent
New York extradition law, and so far has
succeeded In holding his own. Under the
New York statute it Is practically neces-
sary to convict the accused before ex-
tradition papers will be honored.
Robinson's latest hearing was set for
March 6, but so far the United States at
torney's office in st. Paul has heard
nothing from this last attempt to bring
him to Minneapolis. -

Messages from a 'tFriend'' ..-

As a result Of mysterious messages
received. by two druggists yesterday,
an extra force of detectives was kept

case daring robbery was pulled off.
Someone called up Larrabee' s drug
store at Hennepin avenue and Twenty

the proprietor that he had overheard a
conversation between two robbers. They
had planned to loot the place last night,
the informant said, but he refused to
divulge his own name. A similar mes
sage was received by Martin Aune
