LIVESTOCK BOARD MEETS
Several Changes Will Be Recommended
to Coming Legislature. b.

The state livestock sanitory board
met yesterday in st. Paul and decided
to recommend to the coming legislature
a number Of changes in laws. These
recommendations include changing the
penalty from a misdemeanor to an in
dictable offense to sell and remove dis
eased animals; increasing the penalty
Of $25 to 800 fine to $500 to $1,000 for
importing diseased animals; creating a
penalty of revelation of license to vet
erinarians who fail to report cases Of
CHAMBERS; the securing Of an appropria-
tion Of $4,000 for payment Of claims
pending against the board for COM
demned animals. =
4 Dr.. Ward, in his report to the board,
said there never had been so few out
breaks of CHAMBERS at this season. as
this year. The small number Of cases
in st. Paul and Minneapolis led him
to conclude that the closing Of the pub
lie horse fountains has had great deal
to do with limiting the spread of the
disease. .--.o. -. -e.s. -z
During the three months ending Sept.
80, there have been 347 horses inspect
ed for CHAMBERS, and total Of sixty-fve
killed.

TWO MEN OVERCOME
IN GAS.FILLED ROOM

Dan Leo and Ed Ericsson, laborers,
were overcome by gas in their room at
635 Monroe street NE last night and
are now at the city hospital in pre-
carious condition. -
! The men lodged at Mrs. J. Back.
strom g boarding house. They came
home late last night, lighted the gas
in their room and, after turning it out
accidentally, turned it on again, so
there was a slow escape. When Mrs.
Backstrom knocked on their door early
today, she received no answer. When
the door was forced open the two men
hurried to the city hospital in the pa
troll wagon, and there is a possibility
that they will recover. They are still
unconscious. $50. 49,,

BRYN MAWR TO RIDE
Free Bus Line Will Minimize Incon-
ventence of Closed Bridge.

Thru the disposition of the Great
Northern to minimize the inconven-
fence arising from the closing of the
Bryn Mawr bridge, residents in that
district are to. be carried free to the
Western avenue car line by bus. Act
ing for the railroad, Rome G.. Brown
has perfected an arrangement whereby
a free fifteen-minute bus service will
be operated from Bryn Mawr to West
ern avenue every day from Z am. to
Z pm, beginning tomorrow. The Great
derstanding prior to the closing of the
bridge was satisfactory to all, but when
dissatisfaction was expressed, the bus
plan was authorized at once. The serv-
ice will continue till the bridge is re-
opened.

R. S. REID KNOCKS
RIVER CONVENTION
DELEGATE DECLARES RAILROADS
...4 DICTATED ACTION.
La Crosse Man Fails to Secure Favor
able Consideration for Plan to In
stall Gable and Motor Boats and
Afterward Finds Much to Criticize
in Association Proceedings.

Because he was unable to stir up any
great excitement with pet hobby at
the Upper Mississippi River Improve
R. s. Reid, secretary Of the La Crosse
Board Of Trade, and. one of the La
Crosse delegates to, the convention, has
broken into print, announcing that the
convention was controlled by the rail-
roads and was q practical failure. This
is the explanation offered by Mime
apolis men who participated in the
convention
~-. MI. Reds Plan. -.
It is stated that Mr.. Reid came to
Minneapolis primed to create sensa-
ton with suggestion for motor boats
on the river.
His plan was to use system now in
use on the river Elbe, where the cur
rent is swift. There a line Of thirty
four motor boats cover the river for
more than 800 miles. These boats are
propelled by means of engines con
steel chain cable, laid the entire length
Of the river One of these motor boats,
he says, would pull 1,500-ton barge up
the Mississippi at the rate Of four miles
an hour at minimum cost.
Mr.. Reid says this system could be
installed from the mouth of the Ohio
river to Minneapolis with steel wire: in
stead Of chain cable, including 100
motor boats that would pull 1000, 900
tons Of freight per season for $4,000
900 approximately, and could be ready
within couple of years. ~. -
'' - Figures Out Failure. -,
The convention failed to appreciate
the plan. Mr.. Reid prepared a paper,
in addition to the one presented at the
convention, which he proposed to read
at the banquet, but was unable to
speak until it was so late that most
Of the party had left. Returning to
La Crosse he announced that railroad
men controlled the convention and that
river transportation has been postponed
eighty years at least. He charges that
the six-foot channel asked by the con-
vention in it's resolutions and memorial
to congress is impossible and made
quate and makes other assertions con-
demning the convention.
The resolution condemned by the La
Crosse objector is, Resolved, That the
congress of the United States should
adopt the report of the United States
engineers recommending six-foot
channel from the upper Mississippi
river and that it should appropriate
such sum of money as will be neces-
sary to carry out such plans, the same
to be done under the continuing appro-
priations act.
The association hopes to secure $780,
100000 for the work in as large chunks
as possible, tho that amount is not
noted in the resolutions. Mr.. Reid
charges, however, that 100000 year
was demanded and figures in some way
from that that eighty years will be re-
| quired for the work.

NOT LOOKING FOR TROUBLE
DEMOCRATS DECLINE INVITA-
TON TO JOINT DISCUSSIONS
WITH FRANK EDDY.

The democratic campaign committee
had fine chance for one of those Joint
debates yesterday, but lost their nerve,
and the village Of Winthrop lost some
promised excitement. H. H.
John J. Boo bar, head Of the republi-
can speakers bureau, had booked
FrankS:M Eddy for "a speech in Win
throp Tuesday night. He was informed
by the local committeeman that the only
for DR.. P. NJ. Magnusson of the St..
Cloud normal school, democratic nomi-
nee for secretary Of state.
Mr.: Boobar Immediately suggested
that the two should speak from the
same platform and share the time. At
his suggestion, Mr.. johnson. the local
mitteeman, made the proposition to
the local democrats. They. hesitated,
but hated to back down, and agreed to
consult DR.. Magnusson. They got word
to him and he was "game.' - This did
not satisfy them, and they submitted
tae proposition to the state headquar-
tiers. They got veto message hot on
the wires. It was explained that DR..
Magnusson was not a seasoned cam
paigner, and would not be any match
for Eddy. So the joint meeting was
called off, and the democrats will hold
forth alone in Winthrop Tuesday night,
while Eddy's date is changed to Gay
lord.
In the, course of the correspondence,
John Boobar stirred them up at Win
throp with this characteristic MESSAGE:
We do not back up for the opposi-
roller is slowly but surely passing over
the democrats, and with no issue, it is
no wonder. they don t wish to divide the

NO BAR TO MURDER
TRIAL IN JURY CHOICE

A challenge to the petit jury was
interposed late yesterday by Harry s.
Mead, attorney for Alexander McEwen,
accused Of killing Frank Grain: Mr..
Mead based his challenge upon the sec.
jurors shall be drawn by the board of
county commissioners instead of by the
Judges of the district court, as under
the old law and as the present panel
was drawn. County Attorney John F..
Dahl took an exception to the chal
lenge and Judge Holt. sustained the
exception, holding that the present
grand list Of jurors was drawn before
the new law went into effect and that
the men were, therefore, legal jurors.
The McEwen granddaughter case will be
commenced Monday morning before

CHURCHES TO JOIN
FOR "U" PASTOR
PREsBYTERIANs TAKE THE LEAD
IN THE PROJECT. .-E'
Resident Clergyman to Represent AT
Denominations and Cooperative
With Y. M. 9. A. and Y. w. q. A. in
Religious Work at Big Educational
Institutions.

In, a movement to secure for the Uni
versity of Minnesota a college pastor
who, representing all Christian denomi-
nations, shall labor for the welfare Of
the student body, the Presbyterian
synod Of Minnesota has adopted strong
resolutions. The work Of securing such
a man will be taken up at once by the
university committee Of the synod and
efforts will be made to enlist in sup
denominations of the state.
The action Of the Minnesota synod
was preceded by that Of the Wisconsin
synod, which went on record favoring
the installation Of a pastor. at the Uni
versity Of Wisconsin, but the movement
differs from the Wisconsin plan in that
the Minnesota pastor is to be chosen
by the national board Of the Y. NJ. G.
A.. and is to represent every religious
denomination willing to participate in
the movement. The university pastor
will combine the duties Of a secretary
Of Bible study for the Y. NJ. G. A. and
Y. w. C. A. with ministerial, pastoral,
educational and social work among the
students.
The resolution passed by the synod,
introduced by Rev. G. f. Hubbard,
chairman Of the committee on the re-
lation of the university to the church,
is as follows: >,.' .. @.-~'
r ."That as provisional arrangement
for the period of two years the COM
mittee be authorized to act with sim

churches and labor in behalf of the
student body in such other ways, min
isterial, pastoral, educational and so
cial, as his own. judgment or wisdom or
the wisdom of a joint conference may
suggest. - -.
Raising the Money.
A resolution authorizing the commit
movement in proportion to an appor-
tionment made in joint conference was
also passed and the work of securing
the consent Of the other churches in
the movement will be begun at once.
The morning session Of the confer
ence was given over to the reports OF
committees and to the routine work
connected with the last session Of the
synod. Duluth was selected as the next
place of meeting. .~.s =.
