TO DISCUSS BAR
ON. TUBERCULOSIS.
STATE BOARD OF HEALTH WILL
MEET TOMORROW.
Action Will Be Taken Relative to Elk
Guiding from All Public Schools of
the State Teachers and Pupils AZ
flicted with Dread Disease Tubercu-
losis Exhibit to Be Held.

One of the most important meetings
the state board Of health has ever held
will be the quarterly session which will
convene IN the capitol, St. Paul, at 10
am. tomorrow.
Perhaps the most interesting thing
will be the action taken relative to ex-
Guiding from all public schools of the
in any way afflicted with tuberculosis.
In this connection are to be formulated
rules and regulations for the control Of
both tuberculosis and typhoid fever,
and the question of holding tubercu
losis exhibit in the twin cities, both to
awaken interest Of the general public
in the subject and for public education.
The board will tomorrow discuss plans
for carrying into execution it's new au-
thority under provisions of the code,
which goes into effect March l, author
construction in cities of the state, and
especially in relation to sewers Of state
institutions. Still another very timely
subject will be the discussion and prob.
able establishment Of meteorological
standard required Of the milk supplies
in cities and villages of any size.
A topic Of interest to Midway resi-
dents will be consideration of petitions
! for the abolition as unsanitary of the
two abattoirs located at the Minnesota
Transfer. Frank Day, Governor J. A
Johnson's private secretary. is the
leader of the opposition to these abat
toirs, his residence being near them. Pc
titions will also be considered to abolish
the abattoir at Detroit. In this con
nection DR.. H. M. Bracken, secretary Of
the state board, intends to bring up the
i Moorhead abattoir as an ideal Of the
way in which such institutions should
| be operated. ~. ....s.., 49,. ~

ENORMOUS PLANT OF
STOLEN TOOLS FOUND

Following the arrest Of: J. J. Court
ney and George Sestgast late Saturday
night on a charge of stealing tools from
a building at 413 Third street S, the
police uncovered plant containing
stolen goods valued at several hundred
dollars yesterday at SOB Washington
avenue S, where Morris, Haydnet con-
duets a secondhand store.
Sestgast and Courtney owned up to
the theft and said that they had sold
the tools at Haydnet's place. The po-
lice went there, but the proprietor re-
fused to allow them to search the place
and said that the men had sold no tools
to him. Later, however, Havdnet al
lowed the officers to search his place
and tools. of all descriptions, stolen
from different places, were found there.
They were taken to headquarters in the
patrol wagon, which was completely
filed, and notices were sent to several
persons who have been robbed recently
to come and look over the list. Hayd-
net was locked up charged with receiv-
ing stolen property. Pawnbroker In
ypector J. G. Scallen says that Haydnet
made no report of the purchases, and
the case will be pushed against him.
While the officers were searching the
store, Alonzoe Rodding, who escaped
from the workhouse some time ago,

For some time the woman has been
Ill and unable to care for herself or her

about the neighborhood and refused to
listen to the advice of neighbors who
tried to- make her stay in the house.
Late in, the evening she wandered far
Their away from home, and friends lost
trace OF, her. '..::.
: Shortly before midnight pedestrians
crossing the Washington avenue bridge
heard the woman moaning and calling
weirdly from under the bluffs, and a
call was, sent to the South Side station.
They searched for some time and finally
found her still walking about but nearly
paralyzed with the cold. .-
She was taken to Central station,
where Matron Sarah Schaeffer cared for
her. AS soon as she was dressed in
warm clothing she was seized with

.RIV Al CARRIERS
!. STEAL JOURNALS.
THEY LEAVE INFERIOR PUBLIcA-
TON IN ITS PLACE.
The Number Of Such Cases Arouses Sus-
! picion that the Boys Have Had a
Common Source Of Inspiration-Yes-
terday's Offenders to Be Tried in Jus
venile Court.

Thomas and John Engel, two Tribune
carriers, will have to defend themselves
next Thursday in the juvenile court,
against charges of stealing Sunday
Journals from the Lowry Hill flats yes
terday morning. According to the in:
formation filed against them, they not
only stole the Journals, but added in,
each Journal Sunday morning Tri-
bune.
Some time ago another Tribune car
rier was arrested on the charge of steal
ing Sunday Journals. He did not de-
fend himself against the charge and
was placed under the care of the proba-
ton officers. Other cases of misdi-
rected efforts to find out what is going
on in the world have also been report
ed, but no arrests have been made.
The case of the Engel brothers, how
ever is the first one where the motive
has been traced beyond the boys them
selves. The fact that the youths are
alleged to have left Tribune in the
place of each stolen Journal, has led the
officials to make thoro investigation,
and every effort is being made to ascer-
tain who has prompted the boys to rob
Journal subscribers. ...s.- a.,
The defendants are said to be the
sons of a school janitor who lives at

al's circulation department has re-
ceived many reports of stolen papers
and for several Sundays man has
been detailed to watch for the thieves.
Last Sunday morning this watchman
was rewarded by seeing two boys,
which he says are the ones now await
ing trial, making business Of exchang-
ing .Tribunes for Journals. He is said
to have caught one boy in the act of
exchanging Tribune for newspaper
and to have "nabbed' him on the
spot. While waiting for the arrival of
an officer the agent saw the other lad
playing the same game. 49,.
The boys cases came up today, but
were continued to next Thursday, Civ.
ing the officials time to make more
thoro investigation. At that time there
will undoubtedly be some interesting
evidence adduced.

fliated SSwith; the world s, organization.
The Minneapolis Wv. C. "A. is affiliated
with the American committee, whose
work is planned on an evangelical basis,
which closely resembles that of the Y.
M. G. A. In numbers and in it's active
policy, this is the stronger organization,
with lO4 city associations and over 500
college associations, but the Interna-
tional Board of Women IS and Young
Women's Christian, associations, with
in a few Of the largest cities.
At the convention the day was car
ried by vote for union ond a com
mlttee of seven was appointed to con-
fer with a committee Of seventeen from
the international board to draw up a de-
tailed plan Of union. A conventions for
the two committees and Y w. G. A..
workers will be called in April. One
hundred and fifty delegates represent
ing almost every state in the union
were present. The difficult question: to
be settled is the evangelical test, which
means that the control of the associa-
lions shall be in the hands of members
| Of evangelical churches, who are called
the active members Of the association.
The associate membership, with all the
! privileges and benefits Of the associa-
ton. is open to all women, no matter
what their creed. The American com
mittee is organized on the basis Of the
evangelical test, while the international
