IN DEAR OLD VIENNA
Wiener Schn1tzel and Muenschener
Loewenbraeu Enjoyed at =.
Annual Banuueta2z# &:&f

Wiener sehnitzel.S and Muenschener

at banquet held last evening at the
Commercial club by former medical stu
dents in Vienna now located in the twin
cities. About year ago hey-organ-;
lied social body and held their first
banquet: DR.. Henry T.. Williams was
elected president.
The affair last evening was made as
Teutonie as the arrangements at the
Commercial club would permit. The
walters could hardly be suspected Of
being of German descent, but they were
quite satisfactory and the meal was
prepared in German style. The menu
called kartoffeln potatoes and rothkraut
appeared as red cabbage, but. these
1apses into Anglicisms were overlooked,
for the digniied physicians were out to
live over their, earlier days in dear ola
Vienna and were not disposed to be
captious over the menue.
The election of officers resulted as
follows: President, Dr.. J. ". Cham,
berlain, St. Paul.: vice president, DR.

WIRTH WOULD SWAP
j WITH GOVERNMENT
Land at Meeker Island Dam May Be
Traded OFF,

Theodore Wirth, superintendent Of
parks. had conference yesterday with
the government engineers over a trade
of land at the Meeker island lock and
dam.
The government wants additional
land at the east end OF the dam, now
occupied by buildings used by the en-
Giineers during the construction OF the
dam. The park board can spare the
land without affecting st. Anthony
parkway and is willing to give 1t up
under certain conditions. On the other
side of the river the government owns
small tract which it does not need,
but which would form an attractive
addition to Riverside parkway. 1t is
believed that a trade can be made.
The matter will be taken up by the
park board at it's meeting next Mon
day.
The question of closing the skating
season will also be considered. The
finances of the board are somewha
straitened, but the commissioners do
not feel like closing the Kinks as long
as the ice remains good.
The acquisition of Trainer s quarry,
at the foot of Church street Sc, will
be discussed at some length. The con
demnation commission awarded $4,000
to the Trainors for their land, but they
lave filed a protest against it's con.
irmation on the ground that the award
i, insufficient. They allege that the
property is easily worth $4,000, the
stone alone being valued at half that
amount.

BAD GRAMMAR CAUSE
OF HOLMES MURDER
FATAL QUARREL IN SALOON HAD
STRANGE BEGINNING.
Eyewitness Says Holmes Criticized
Grammar Used by Group of Colored
Men and Said They Had Had Chance
Of Getting Education-"In Free
Schools, Too,'' Said Webb.

Bad grammar used by some persons
educated in the public schools is prob
ably the strangest cause for deliber-
ate murder that has ever come to the
notice Of the police. Yet that is what
led to the murder of Elijah Holmes,
colored, by Walter Webb, who will be
tried next week. The shooting took
place in saloon at 212 Washington
avenue s, last December.
An eyewitness has told exactly what
happened in the saloon that night. he
says that Holmes and Webb were CIV
ing a musical entertainment and be-
tween their numbers they listened to
group Of colored men talking.
"Their grammer is disgrace" said
Holmes, turning to another man who
stood near. "They have had chance
of getting an education, too.
"Yes," said Webb, "and In free
schools, at that"
For some reason Holmes was deeply.
offended at this remark, and turning
to his partner slapped him viciously in
the face. "Don It you talk about gram
MARI said Holmes; for you don It
know anything about it,
Without reply Webb left the saloon,
traded his mandolin for revolver and
returned Just as Holmes was coming
out of the place. Here Webb pulled the
revolver and avenged the insult to his
education. Q

CAPITOL, TOO SMALL
.,,s.-- FOR STATE OFFICES
Commission Says One Department Must
Return to Old Building.

The capitol commission Saturday al,
ternoon invited the state dairy and
food department. and the state board OF
health to move from their present quar-
tiers on the ground floor of the new
capitol to rooms in, the old statehouse.
The commission does not insist that
both: make the change, but is anxious
that one should. This is because, OF m
sistence of the secretary Of state, for
additional room for his documentary
department, now in the basement.
When the capitol was planned, 1t was
arranged to give the secretary OF STATE
the Offices over the dairy and food ana
health department quarters, but the at
torney general got the rooms. Peter
p. Hanson, secretary of state, has never
been quite satisfied with the rooms
which he now occupies, and because
of his protestations the commission Is
irving to get ground-foor quarters Tor
his documentary department, now
lodged in the dark and damp basement.
ar understand the commission has
offered either the board of health or
the dairy and food department., the old
Secretary of state rooms in the old cap
itol . said a state official, with a
nroposition to fix them up In nice style;
In nv opinion, however, the capltol
commission has no jurisdiction over the
old capitol, cannot offer accommoda-
lions in it to any one, and much less
can the commission spend any OF us
money in improving the old building.
The state board Of health and dairy
and food commission will doubtless
strenuously object to being removed &c
the old building.

THE LITTLE WOMAN"
GOES WITH HUSBAND
U. S. Marshal w. II. Grimshaw Raises
Money for Mrs. Sissling.

Thru the generosity Of a few Of the
business men of Minneapolis Mrs.
Ernest Sissling, "the little woman,''
accompanied her husband when he left
last night for, New York in the charge
of Deputy United States Marshal W.
w. Rich. When the order came to for
ward Sissling, who has been held here
for a forgery and theft committed in
Nottingham, England, over a year ago,
to the British authorities in New York,
it looked as if his young wife would
have to remain behind:
The pathetic plight Of ''the little
woman who had come all the way
from old England to join her husband
here and arrived Just a few days before
his arrest, touched the heart of United
States Marshal w. II. Grilnshaw, and
he swore in a manner which would do
credit to "our army in Flanders that
she should 90 with him.
Kindhearted railroad officials winked
at the numerous rules and agreements
which regulate the, issuance OF passes
and provided railroad transportation
for the young Englishwoman to New
York. Steamer fare and "expense
money! remained to be raised and the
marshal set to work. From his private
purse and the contributions of a few
public men he was able to raise $50 and
a grateful young woman left Mime
apolis last night at the side of the
man she loves in spite of the disgrace
he has brought to himself and to her.

GLEASON PRESIDENT
OF ATHLETIC BOARD.
FOOTBALL STARS NOT FAVORED
BY VOTERS.
Athletics Controlled by Men Who Lead
in Them Not Popular in Election Last
Night-Date of Annual Athletic Elec-
tion Postponed One Week - The
Ticket Elected.

Athletes found themselves at dis
count in the athletic board Of control
election at the university last night.
Tho several football stars were out for
elective honors the student body showed
by it's votes that it did not approve
of athletics conducted by the men who
participate in them. Football men
were the ones who had the greatest diff
fculty in securing the votes Of their
fellow students.
An amendment to the constitution of
the athletic association postponing the
date of the annual election one week
was adopted unanimously. The date for
the election was established when the
university was run on the three-term
plan and when the semester system was
adopted the mid-year examinations con-
ficted with election and prevented
many of the academic and engineering
students from being present. This
amendment will do away with the con
f1ict of dates in the future.
The election resulted as follows:
President, John Gleason; vicepres1dent
Randolph McRae; secretary, E. j. Law
renee; academic representative, Carroll
K. Kitchener; engineer representative
Art Larkin; medic representative, Ray
Varco; law representative, Coleman
The vote stood as follows: President
Gleason, 1862; Cutting, pol; Condor, %
Vicepresident, McRae, held over. Sec
rotary, Lawrence, 221; Running, 1914

ARE WOMEN DRIVING
MEN TEACHERS OUT?
r. L. CLARK TELLS OF REASONS
FOR HIS CHANGE.
"There Is Not Enough Difference Be-
tween $1,000 Woman and $4,000
Man to Justify the Average School
Board in Hiring Men, He Says.

Teaching may offer fair and certain
remuneration, but the law, while pre-
senting greater uncertainty, pays more
to the successful man. This is the rea-
soning which induced R. L. Clark to
resign profitable position as principal
of the Franklin school and launch out
upon the precarious career of a young
attorney. Mr. Clark finished his work
at the Franklin school Friday and left
at once for Oshkosh, Wis, where he will
enter the law firm Of Barber Brothers
as junior partner. /.
''The teaching business has treated
me we'll and have no grudge against
it, said Mr.. Clark in discussing his
reasons for leaving. "Like many other
young men I went into it because it
offered me larger immediate returns
than any other line of work open to
me. There are some fine positions in
the educational world, but think that
for the average man there are greater
opportunities in other lines of work,
Besides, a man constantly dealing with
children and the petty details Of routine
is in danger of%getting outs2of touch
with men and of falling into a nut, with
nothing before him except a life Of mas
culine old maidism. ~: = 2
without caring to give advice te
young men about to enter upon thel1
life work, I should say that, from my
personal experience, teaching offers
three things to the young man. The
first, and to many the most essential
is an immediate money return create
than that offered to beginners in an,
: other profession.
! "Once in, a man can either make
high place in the profession his goal O
he can look upon teaching as step
ping-stone to something else. The sum
ner vacations offer an opportunity t.
study some other profession. I took u
a little mining and mechanical engi
neering before turning my attention t
the law. The habits of study necessar,,
to the educator make self-culture easy
and a man can fit himself for som
other career while earning a living, an
then wait for an opening in the worl
of business.
"Female competition is the creates
objection to teaching as business flo
men. The best woman principal obtair
able can be secured for about ST. ,50(
while a man as well qualified cost
$4,000 a year. There is not enough di1
ference between $1,000 woman and
