At the Third Ward Republican hall
last night there were 1875 boys in line
who were drilled as two companies.
They made good progress and seem to
be getting an insight into the prelim-
mary foot movements.
Now that the companies will all be
practically formed this week, squad
drills will begin for the purpose Of dis
cipline, control and order.
The squad proper consists of cor
poral and seven privates. The corporal
is the squad leader, and when absent
# no private IS designated, the senior
in length of service acts as leader.
These corporals will be shortly ap-
pointed and will consist Of cadets who
show the most aptitude and reliability.
The corporal when in ranks is posted
the squad. When the corporal leaves
the ranks, his rear rank man steps into
the front rank and the file remains
blank until the corporal returns to his
place in the ranks, when his rear rank
man steps back into the rear rank.
The squads will be placed under the
corporals, who are under the supervi-
sion Of sergeants who will be next ap-
pointed to qualify them as squad lead
ers, while the recruits are being taught
the movements in close and extended
order.

Two Minneapolis girls, Lucille Way
and Fanny Fligelman, will participate.
in the annual PillsburY $l75 oratorical
contest to be held in the university
chapel tomorrow evening, and owing to
the fact that Of the six Contestants two
will be goods unusual interest at
taches to the contest. More than thirty
undergraduates submitted orations in
the preliminaries of the Pillsbury con-
test, and the fact that the faculty, com,
m1ttee IN charge Of the contest selected
the orations. Of the only girl. entries
among the six best submitted is taken
by the university coed element as a
vindication of their claims to equal
consideration in debate. and oratory.
Fanny Fligelman is senior in the
university and she has been the prime
mover in interesting university women
in oratory and debate. Believing that
women should be counted in oratorical
contests she entered the Pillsbury con-
test last year and carried off second
place against q field of five men. She
is a member Of the Minerva literary
society and a graduate Of the South

WOMAN SMILES AS
SHE IS CONVICTED
EMMA G. BERRY TAKES CONVIC.
TION OF PERJURY CALMLY.
Divorce Maintains Same Air Of IN
concern When Jury Reports After
Long Deliberation AS Marked Her
During Sensational Trial She Will
Move for New Trial Saturday.

For the first time in years a con-
viction on the charge Of perjury was
returned by a jury in Hennepin county
today. Mrs. Emma G. Berry was found
guilty before Judge John Day Smith
today after the jury had been out for
nearly twentY-four hours. A motion
for new trial will be made and argued
Saturday.
The defendant showc1 no signs Of
emotion when she listened to the read
ing Of the verdict. She appeared-as
she has during the two perjury trials
and during her three trials in divorce
case where she was charged with in
unconcerned, and even
smiled a trife as she turned to her law
yer after the Jury had been discharged.
The perjury was committed during the
divorce trials in which Mrs. Berry, and,
it is alleged, five Of her friends swore
to her being at the Bijou theater on a
certain night when in reality she was
in ST. Paul in company with another
woman and two men.
The first trial resulted in disagree
ment, but County Attorney Al J. Smith,
realizing the need Of and the #salu tary
effect Of a conviction of perjury,
brought the case to trial again without
delay and was rewarded by securing
a conviction against great odds. The
other defendants under similar indict-
ments will be tried next term.

Kites and Geology.

Kite Photography, first: successfully
essayed in France about six Years ago,
bids fair to become an aid in scientific:
investigation, notably. in the study Of
certain geological problems. A camera
is attached to a kite and sent to. the
height Of several hundred feet, from
which a photograph is taken. Of the
country below, the shutter being con
trolled electrically from the ground. It
has been found that such photographs
will throw interesting light on the mode
Of formation of the country. Take, for
instance, q strip Of beach along the
ocean; a photograph taken from q kite
will show clearly a considerable stretch
Of the beach with the adjoining coun-
try, showing the ridges and hlllocks
as clear-cut as in a geographical model
made with the greatest precision. The
great heights to which modern discov-
cry and invention have assembled make
it hard for an invention to live unless
it has extraordinary merit. 1t took
years Of work and study to bring gol-
den grain belt beer to its perfect state,
and now we can point to it as a great
modern production which is aid to
health, strength and happiness.

fight, occurred at 10 pm, as Simon was
going upstairs to his room. He lives
in the same house with De Moose and
the two met in the middle Of the stair
way. After failing to settle their dis
pute with words, De Moose is said to
have drawn a knife and stabbed the
other several times. ~--~
De Moose then went to his room while
neighbors cared for Simon and sent for
the police. Patrolman Plant of the
East Side station arrested De Moose.
Simon will recover, but his wounds
are serious. Both men were peddlers
and were not friendly. 49,
De Moose was arraigned in police
court today charged with assault. He
asked for an examination and his case
was continued until tomorrow.
When the court placed the bail at
$500 smile came over his face and
reaching down in his pocket he counted
out the money and walked out of the
courtroom free man for the time.

northern part of the country, the high

has extended southwark to Texas, divid-
ing the southern 'Iow' into two dis
tinct parts, one of which is nearly sta
tionary over the southern Rocky noun
tain region, while the other has moved
to the Carolinas. There has been a rise
in temperature in western and northern
Minnesota, the Dakotas and the west
ern Canadian provinces, but in the Mis-
sissippi valley and thence westward to
the Rocky mountains the temperatures
have fallen, due to the southwark ex-
tension of the "high.'' There has
been precipitation during the past TWEEN
ty-four hours in much of the central
