Chapter VII. The Japanese Pagoda.

This being a Temple Fair, some thing representing a temple must be one of the features. Accordingly the Fair committee will have an extra fine oriental temple or pagoda brought over direct from the island of Nippon, Japan It will be rcular ill shape and will have four circular roofs, de- creasine in circumference as they ap- proach the peak At the base of the naaoda winsome attendants dressed ill the charming fashion of Samurai Japanese women with the characteris- tic roll of the hair and the fascinat- ing kimonas will wait upon the public as they do in Tokyo and Kyoto. The Fair committee is negotiating with the two eminent Japanese professors of Dreamland in Coney Island, New York, with a view to bringing them to the Temple Fair to do the "jiu jitsu," or peculiar Japanese wrestling, for the edification of the spectators. Visitors are warned to be polite to the Samurai attendants, since if they are wounded in feeling they might commit ''harikari' or Japanese sui eide. In the pagoda there will be enough Japanese goods on sale to dress all the women of ne Bluff la Japanese, from fans up to kimonas.

Twelve ear-old Charles Engel Tells
Court He Gould Not Sell Tribunes
Admits That He Has Exchanged
Them for Journals Ever Since Sun
day Journal Started.

IT took the Journals and left the
Tribunes because wanted some papers
| could sell. #
That was the simple and natural ex-
PLANTATION made by 12-year-old Charles
Engei, the Tribune carrier, when ques-
toned by Judge F. ". Brown in the
juvenile court today as to his guilt on
the charge Of stealing Sunday jour
nails from the Lowry Hillis flats last
Sunday. sSt F{
The court realized the reasonable
ness of the boys explanation, and in
view of this and of the boys youth,
he suspended his sentence to the train
ing school and ordered Charles placed
on probation.
Thomas, the older brother, was ac-
quilted on similar charge,
his guilt at any time and when ques-
toned answered frankly. He said he
had been doing that sort Of thing ever
since T h 9 Journal began publish
ing a Sunday morning paper. He in
sisted that he could not sell the Trib-
unes and he wanted to make money.
He said that he would take all T h 9
Journ ais he could substitute for his
usual oversupply of Tribunes and take
them home to his brother, who would
| help him sell them, not knowing where
| they came from.
| When the boy was informed. that the
judge had given him another chance
he seemed pleased Given some friend
ly advice by H. B. Chamberlain, the
prosecuting probation officer, the lad
said he realized the error Of his ways
and promised to be good. Tom, his
older brother, was urged to cooperate
with the authorities in saving the lad
who, tho but IL years old, had shown
such keen discernment, together with
| an unfortunate lack Of knowledge OF
the law and his moral obligations. The
boys father was in court and stated
that he would do everything in his
power to see that his sons never Of

Wonderful Energy Of Departed Head

DR.. II. =. Williams--In Early Days
He Worked Far Into Night and Still
Arose Early.

President William r.. Harper Of the |
University Of Chicago was well known
IN Minneapolis, especially In university
circles, and his death was the chief
topic OF discussion at the university to-
day. ~
The two men on the Minnesota fac

Harper are President Northrop, warm

who was student of DR.. Harper at

President NortErop expressed deep
sorrow over the death of DIR. Harper
and sense of the great loss to educa-
tional circles occasioned by his death.
DR.. Williams this morning related
some interesting stories of Dr. Harper,
showing his wonderful vitality and
working energy. In speaking of DR..
Harper:
DR.. Harper was professor at Yale
during my Undergraduate days and dur
ing my Junior and senior years took
Old Testament literature under him, =
he said. In my freshman year at Yale

North, and I remember that there was
always light in Dr.. Harper g study at
morning and working at 8 or q clock,
and it was reported that he ate four
meals regularly, the last at il pm. AT
that time he was working on plans Tor
| Chicago university, and was busy writ
ing, travelling and 1ecturing.I
i g remember that he had occasion
/ to change printers once, and he went
to his new printer one morning with a
EquantitY Of copy and told him that he
must have the work finished by night.
| In order to accommodate his new patron
the printer promised that 1t should be
done and he put on an extra force dur
4 ing the day in order to turn out the
! job. The next day DIR. Harper appeared
with just as much copy, and made the
same demand, that the work be finished
before night. This is an example Of his
capacity for work. Four typewriters
were kept busy all day turning out his

STRONG STAND BY
MUNICIPAL LEAGUE
STATE ORGANIZATION WANTS
d MOST RADICAL RATE BILL.
Not Satisfied With Terms Of Dolliver
Bill-Wants Action Taken Against
Relating - Candidates for Office to
Answer Questions-Co Compulsory Tele-
phone Connections Favored by Com
mittee. ---~.t. --.".. ......

Strong resolutions ON the railroad
rate question were adopted this after
noon by the Minnesota Municipal and
Commercial league, which ended its ses-
sion today in st. Paul. The resolutions
declare for bill along the lines Of the
Townsend measure, and go farther
than the Dolliyer bill. They call for a
commission power to name a reasonable
rate, and putting that rate in effect at
once, unless set aside by the courts.
They call on Minnesota Is senators and
congressman to support such bill.
The report of the resolutions COM
mittee also demands thoro enforce
ment of the law against rebates, and of
the long and short haul clause. It con
dennis discrimination against smaller
cities. 1t also urges the passage Of a
reciprocal demurrage bill. .s@
An important section. in the resolu-
tions is one favoring a list Of questions
on the issues Of the day to be submitted
to candidates for office This is rec
commended in order to restore interest
in principles rather than in persopali-
ties. p - J.E- p.
The league received a report this
morning from @. N. Andrews Of Man.
kato, chairman Of the committee on
public service corporations, which took
| stand for municipal ownership and
also favored a law requiring telephone
! companies to make connections with
each other when the public service de.
mands, and putting them under iuris
diction Of the railroad and warehouse
commission for that purpose. E. w
Knatvold Of Albert Lea told Of the
failure Of an ordinance passed by that
city to compel connections, and how the
city is restrained by a permanent in
| iuncti0n from intnrferinr with fhf
work or the property Of the company
The question Of league finances was
discussed. This afternoon G. M.iLor
