LUMBER INDUSTRY
EMPLOYS MOST MEN
STATE FACTORY INSPECTOR COM
PILES INTERESTING FIGURES.
Sawmills, Boardyards and Wood-W ork-
ing Factories Account for 17.2 per
Cent Of Total Wage Earners-De-
part1nent Stores Are First in Non
manufa curing Industries.

The annual report of the state fac
tory inspector on conditions in Mime
apois is out. The report shows that
wage earners in the city have increased
IA per cent the last year. An espe-
cial1y, large increase is shown in the
various lumber industries. The report
says in part: 20. i.
1872 inspections more than in The, pre-.
ceding year and an; increase in wage
earners number = Of 5,501,, or II per
cent: The exact figures given are 43,737
wage earners, subdivided in "a, APO male
adults, 9,1O6 female adults, and 202
children. under 10 years OF age, or 1888
boys and SO girls. The increase in
adult male wage earners was 5,9s4o go, per- . u.
it was 4S7 persons, or So per cent,
and the decrease in minor children was
from 1873 to 2O2, altho no comparison
can be made on account OF the fact
already mentioned elsewhere, that child
labor figures are shown for seven months
only Of 1906. IS
Lumber Comes First.
The principal industry of Minneapolis
with reference to wage -earners' num-
Der was that Of sawmill work and lum-
Der in general. In sawmllls and their
lumber yards were employed per cent
OF all wage edIueIS 0AAOWA Iva VIZ WY,
Work in, planning mills and sash and
door and blind factories furnished en-
ployment to So per cent Of all wage
earners; their number was 1928. The
manufacture of furniture and wooden
ware with propriety may be .classed as
allied trades to the numbering indus
try, and thus we find that the. whole
numbering industry furnished work to
17.2 per cent Of all wage .earners, be-
cause in furniture and cabinetmaking
l,101 persons were employed and in the
manufacture of woodenware 627 per-
sons. or, together, 3.9 per cent OF the
total. =,
In regard to non-manufacturing in,
dustries the report says: Department
lstores had the largest percent or wage
earners Of turing establish
ments; their number was 2,718 or 6;2
| per cent of all wage earners; wholesale
mercantile establishments had 2,427 per.
sons or 5.6. per cent; in 80 retail mer'
! camille establishments 1927 wage earn
ers, or 80 per cent, were enumerated
and the EN- ployees Of telegraph, tele'
phone and messenger companies repre-
| or LOTT persons. Sc"

ELWELL'S NOMINATION
Is ALL BUT ASSURED

: James T. Elwell is the probable nomi-
nee for the state senate from the thir-
ty-ninth district. With 81 Of the 80
contested votes Undecided, Elwell g
lead late this AFTERNOON was five votes.
According to- the estimates Of the
commissioners appointed by Judge
Simpson. to recount the ballots in the
thirty-ninth district, Elwell had lead
Of four votes with thirty ballots unde-
cided. Comstock, however, contested
the vote in the two voting machine pre-
cincts' of the second and ninth wards
and his attorneys this morning argued
that the entire vote in these precincts
should be. thrown out. Such proceed
ing would give Comstock a lead of
eighteen exclusive Of the contested
thirty ballots. It is not likely that
the voting machine precincts will be
thrown out and Elwell's nomination
seems assured.
Of the nine votes decided by Judge
I Simpson today three went to Elwell
two to- Comstock and four were de-
clared Illegal and ruled out. Nine OF
the thirty votes are signed with the
name Of the voter and it is probable
| that all Of these votes will be declared
illegal. '-zzS y = ~

CAPTAIN JOHN JOHNSON /:
- SAILS FOREIGN" AGAIN

Captain John johnson, the .'ancientt
marinerVs of Lake Minnetonka, and
former high lord admiral Of all the
ports, is about to make his forty-frst
trip across the raging Atlantic -
In his younger days Captain johnson
saw all the civilized world and nearly
all the, uncivilized. that touched salt
water, ~ For twelve years he sailed
wherever vessel dared to float PARA
Bahia, Rio. Janeiro, Buenos Aires and
other South American ports he visited
Horn and Cape Of Good Hope several
times, Torres strait, which separates
Australia from New Guinea, Mallaca
strait, the Gulf Of Arden and many
other waters known to Americans only
from, their biographies he has sailed
more than once. Ask him about Sura-
baya, on the Island Of Java, Singapore
right under the equator on the Malay
peninsula, and any far away port that
comes to the mind, and Captain John
son will be sure to have an interesting
story to tell.
Even to st. Helena and Tristan
Atlantic, where vessels rarely touch,
he has found himself in his wanderings.
In those days crossing the Atlantic
was not even an event, simply a part
of his work. -. ~:
Conditions are a little different this
time. His preparations will be some
what more elaborate than simply throw:
ing his spare clothing into a bag. He
will be accompanied by Mrs. johnson
and his daughters Jennie, Dagmar and
Ida. Kate, who married George Mas
two days ago, will have to stay at
home to take care Of the house until
| next March. The Johnsons will visit
Christiansand, Stavanger, Bergen and
other Norwegian cities, and will like:
| wise peek into Germany, Denmark and
other foreign countries They left last
night. :" 80. ~. =

TOO MUCH JOHNSON
STIRS BOTH SIDES
CHAIRMAN OFFERS
TO COOPERATE WITH DENIS.
Would Send Out Joint Circular Warning
the Voters Against Confusion of
Names-Democrats Decline Offer, and
Are Using Incident to Stir Up Their
Workers.

DR.. A. B. Cole, chairman of the re-
publican state committee, today sent
the following letter to Chairman Day
of the democratic committee:
Hon. Frank A. Day, Chairman Demo-
cratic State Central Committee-Sr:
In order to avoid, as far as possible, any
mistake in 4eonfounding the name of the
democratic candidate for governor with
that of ME, socialist labor candidate, the
republican state central committee is to-
day sending circular letter to every re-
publican newspaper in the state with a
view of having them make such explain
atoms as will fully inform their readers
of the facts in the case. 49,,
In addition to this the republican state
central committee is willing to bear one
half the (, expense of sending printed
mailing cards or letters to all the voters
of the state, stating that John A. john
son. Democratic, John w. Johnson. So
cialist labor, and A. l.. Cole, republican,
are nominees for the office of governor.
I make this offer to the end that every
voter may know just whom he is voting
for and to prevent any one being de-
ceived by the similarity of the names OF
the democratic and socialist labor nom
inees.3 If you have better non-partizan
plan of disseminating this knowledge, we
will cooperate with you. Respectfully,
~. ''.- "A. B. Coles Chairman.
After receipt of the letter, Mr.. Day
said he did not believe the plan sug.
gested was feasible. He replied thank.
ing Chairman Cole for the offer and
for the spirit displayed in it, but did
| not suggest any substitute plan. ~
| think it is matter we will have to
| handle ourselves,' said Mr.. Day.
l. The members of the republicans or
ganization regret the occurrence, an6
are afraid it will be so used by the dem
ocrats that they will gain more votes
| than they lose. They say the campaign
has been going just to suit the repub
licans so far, and it is unfortunate that
anything should have happened to give
the democrats a chance to work up
sensation and make sympathy plea
They have proof that the democratic
committee had information three day.

MOTHER PROTECTS
TWO LITTLE GIRLS
FATHER TRIES TO TAKE Chill
DREN, WHEN MOTHER SCARES
HIM OFF BY SHOOTING PISTOL
IN THE AIR.

Yesteday evening about $50, on the
corner of Third avenue and Twenty-first
street, three pistol shots, following in
quick succession, rang out and at the
same time a man was seen rushing in
the direction of Capitol park.
Deputy Sheriff Stratford, who happened
to be close at hand, ran over to where
the shooting occurred and found wo-
man, accompanied by two little girls, who
Immediately arrested her and took her
to the sheriff's office, where explanations
were made.
From what could be learned of the oc-
curence, it appears that the woman's
name is Jennie O'Rourke, that the little
girls are her children and the man who
did the running is her husband, Charlie
O'Rourke. Bystanders stated that the
man was trying to take one of the chill
dren away from the mother and had been
cursing and abusing her, when she pulled
out the pistol and fired in the air, at
which the man took sudden fight.
The records in the county Jail show
that O'Rourke had been tried and con-
victed during the past week of assault
and battery and malicious mischief, but
had made bond on Friday and was lib
Grated
Mrs. ORourke was arrested on q charge
of assault with weapon. her bond being
fixed at 500, which some citizens prompts
ly signed, after which the woman and
her children were taken to their home.
