NOT LAND OF LIBERTY"

"America'' was not sung at the last
meeting of the literary society of st.
James African M. E. church, st. Paul,
because of the feeling aroused by the
dishonorable discharge of three com
panies of negro infantry for murderous
assaults committed by some Of their
number. The words s'Sweet land Of
iberty' are objected to. "-.. l.. =.
At the opening Of the meeting the
president called for the customary sing
ing of "America,' but the suggestion
was met by storm Of angry protest.
America was no land Of liberty for the
negro, the members urged, and it was a
farce for them to sing the song while
men of their race, for harboring rioters,
were being discharged from the army
by an arbitrary exercise Of power by
President Roosevelt. si .a,.
Finally the majority accepted the
challenge Of the minority to debate the
question Friday night. Racial discrim-
nation and even persecution will be
cited by the negative to prove its case,
while the affirmative, will urge that
anti-negro demonstrations are merely
local and that to- refuse to sing the
hymn would brand their race as un-
patriotic. Sergeant Sanders, one Of the
discharged soldiers, will preside.

MANY HUMAN LIVES IN
y PERIL; HORSES BURN

Twelve horse were burned to death in
a fire which imperiled scores Of human
lives yesterday afternoon, when flames
destroyed the second story of the Mat
tlson & Foye livery stable, on Fifth
street n. - -.
|. Crossed wires started the fire, and it
gained great. Roadway before it was
discovered A strong breeze threatened
Tor a time. to carry the fire into other
buildings, but the fire department. kept
it under control. - - !. ~
In the Pfaum cigar factory, sepa-
rated from the upper story Of the stable
only by thin wall, sixty employees
were at work when the fire started.
Dropping, everything, they escaped to
the street. They were uninjured save
for the. smoke inhaled while going
down the stairs. Other persons in
nearby buildings also fled the fire
peril.
i, The baled hay made little more than
a gigantic smudge which could be seen
for miles: Many persons thought some
large building was afre, but a small
amount Of water stopped the progress
of the flames. The horses that were
killed undoubtedly were suffocated be-
fore the flames reached them.
The building was two-story struc-
ture owned by W. II. Vanderburgh. He
says he will repair the structure imme-
diately. Aside from the loss on the
horses, the damege will be light, as all
the carriages, bus equipment stored on
the first floor was saved. The loss will
not exceed $4,000, and is covered by
insurance. '> -,

INSURE AGAINST BREAKS
COUNCIL COMMITTEE PROVIDES
FOR TWIN BYPASS IN WATER
MAIN AT CAMDEN PLACE.

In order to. prevent a repetition of
the serious situation which prevailed
last week, when the big main broke at
the Camden Place pumping station, the
council committee on Waterworks
worked yesterday on a plan that will
insure safety. A. twin bypass will be
laid at the Camden Place station
around the place where the recent break
occurred, SO that in the. event of sim
liar accident the consequences will not
be so disastrous. y
In all the hundreds Of miles of, water
main there was no place that break
could have crippled the system, except
just where. it occurred, and the chances
Of an accident did not appear to- be
more, than, one in a thousand. Never
theless, the contingency will be provid-
ed for. A bypass Of two twenty. four
inch mains around the danger point
will insure plenty Of. water, even if a
The committee decided to advertise
for bids for four. twenty-four-inch gates
and the requisite amount Of pipe. 1t
was also decided to advertise for 1900
feet Of twenty-inch pipe for twin
pipeline across the river at Thirty sec
ond avenue N and four: twenty-inch
gates. ~ ~ -.
This will be an emergency line con-
Meeting the east. and west distributing
systems and will insure the mainte-
nance of the usual pressure in the mains

PRIMARY LAW WILL RE
TRIED FOR ITS LIFE

A meeting that may mean much to
the political future Of Hennepin coun-
ty and Minnesota will be held Dec.
II in Mckinley hall under the auspices
of the Fourth Ward Republican club.
The primary election law is to be up
for consideration before an informal
convention consisting Of legislators and
prominent party men from all parts Of
the state. .:,.:-d:A4c:' - ~,
: For some time a sentiment against
the primary election law in it's present
form has been growing. Many Of the
more prominent republican leaders have
have come to the same conclusion. Now
there is a widespread feeling against
the law in the ranks of the party. It
is to discuss what had best be done
and to propose something better that
the meeting for Dec. II has been
called.
The committee in charge has re-
ceived replies from many well known
republicans who ask to be allowed to
speak and request that some certain
time be allowed them. Some of these
are, for the, bill, but more are not.
A special effort is being made to
bring in all the members Of the legis-
lature. 1t is hoped that a better sys-t
tenn can be worked out and that with
the unofficial gathering working in
every, county of the state, a sentiment
may be created in favor of the pro-
ny it.
The committee consists of Senator
j. +. Calhoun, Fred B. Wright, repre-
sentative from the fortieth district,

Workman in Candy Factory Has Mar
row Escape. ..~

Fred Baker, employed in John T.
Garland 8 candy factory. at 13 Third
street S, was badly hurt early today in
an elevator accident, and taken to the
city, hospital. According to another
workman who saw the accident, Baker
was, receiving - freight # rom the alley
shipping door and packing the boxes
on the elevator. The floor of the ele-
yator was crowded with boxes and left
little room for operating. AS Baker
stopped over to pull the cable to start
the lift, his head struck the top Of the
door frame and he was crowded to the
floor. Fortunately, the door frame was
wide and there was sufficient space
for him to slip between the edge of the
moving elevator and the projecting
door of the shaft.
AS quickly as possible the elevator
was run to the top and brought back by
the eyewitness. Baker fell first on the
ledge Of the first floor, inside the shaft
door, and then fell to the bottom of the
pit. He was picked up, badly bruised,
and was hurried to the city hospital:
His head is cut, and it is feared he is
internally injured. Baker is recently
from Ashland, Wis, coming here few
weeks ago to work as an expert candy
maker. He is about 40 years old and
resides on the East Side. --.. -

.WORKHOUSE POOR
SCHOOL FOR BOYS.
JUDGE SMITH FAVORS NEW SYS-
TEN OF CORRECTION.
Experience with Youthful Offenders
Leads to Conclusion that Best way
to Make Good Men Out of Bad Boys
Is to Build a Special Training School.

Minneapolis should establish school
for boys in connection with the juvenile
court and the police court. The pres
ent system is wrong and 1 believe that
the establishment of a good school,
which would combine surveillance and
instruction, would be the best way of
solving the problem which is confront.
ing the judges who are brought in con
tact with youthful Offenders
This is the opinion Of Judge Charles
Z. Smith of the municipal court, who
believes not only that boys under. II,
guilty OF misdemeanors, should be sent
to training school, but that boys be-
tween IL and 10, who, under the pres
emit system, are sent to the workhouse
along with the most hardened Hvags'
and drunkards, should be given an op-
portunity to make good in an institu-
ton organized on the plan outlined.
In discussing the problem which faces
the, municipal Judge in Minneapolis,
Judge. Smith said today: "Under the
placed on probation sent to. the re
form school at Red Wing. Truants
are taken care of in the truant school,
The majority of youthful offenders do
not have the right kind of home sur
roundings, and truant school, where
the boys live at home, is not the ideal
system, for it is the home training, in
my opinion. which is responsible in
many cases for the truancy. ....
- Separate Offenders.
The same situation applies to the
practitioners, and such an institution
as [ should favor would include both
these classes. A separate department
for the older offenders, between the
ages of II and 49,, could be included.
The trouble with the workhouse system
is the fact that no distinctions are
made there between the Oldest and
most depraved offender and the young
fellow who is just commencing his
down career. Can anything be worse
than association with the class of men
who 90 to the workhouse? And yet we
have no alternative but to send the
youthful offenders there. The work
house is more or less a school of
crime for the younger men.
Such an institution, as I favor
could be established in the suburbs Of
the city and farming and mechanical
department. such as those in the farm
schools of Denver and Cleveland would
be fine features. Truants would be
taken care Of, youthful offenders could
be given indeterminate sentences with
an opportunity, to make good, and the
boys between II and 10 who now go to
the workhouse would escape the con-
tamination which must necessarily re-
suit from their being confined with old
offenders.' It~
