alive, Michael Finn, Sc years old, will
probably step into possession of for
tune that will keep him in luxury for
the rest of his days.
Two years ago Michael, wanting a
little spending money, started begging
on the street and was arrested by, the
police on. charge of vagrancy: His
father, then more than a hundred years
old, appeared in court and obtained the
release of Michael, who promised to be
good. The story in some way appeared
in the New York papers and was re.
Gently read by Thomas E. 'Brien OF
Fall River, Mass.
Mr.. O'Brien, in letter to Police
Superintendent Doyle, says he is posi-,
tive that the aged man is a member of
his family, and that there is part. of
an estate worth 100000 now waiting
for him in probate.
Detectives have been assigned to look
into the case, but they have been unable
to find the man, as he has moved since
his appearance in court. Superinten'

CAUGHT
BY RESCUE WORKER
GAY MIR, MCINTYRE rs ARRESTED

He Is Charged With Robbing Working
Girls by Inducing Them to Elope

Would Secure Their Savings and De-

To Mrs. S. J. Fairfield, rescue agent

man, not unlike the late unlamented
Johann Hoch.
Eugene Mcintyre Of Seymour, Wis,
alias j. Macarthur Of Milwaukee, who
was arrested in Menominee, Mich,
Wednesday night, thru the efforts of
Mrs. Fairfield, has every appearance of
being seducer and robber of working
girls upon large scale. He has oper-
ated in Wisconsin and Michigan, and
seems to have made Minneapolis the
final scene of his romantic swindle and
the dumping grounds for his discarded
victims. 1853. r.. 9. ,-.-
When arrested, Mcintyre was in the
act of persuading another girl to place
her honor and her fortune in his hands.
The officers located and arrested him
at the home of Miss Clara. Weller of
Menominee, whom he had almost per-
suaded to draw $500 from the bank
and elope with him to Minneapolis.
The strange part Of the situation was
the fact that Miss Weller was close

with the officers. 49,"
Elopes with Lover.
The case upon which Mcintyre, or
Macarthur, was run to earth and for
which he will be tried, is that Of Bar
bara Pollock, servant girl of Menom-
inee, Mich. On Dec. 20, Mcintyre and
Miss Pollock arrived in Minneapolis.
The girl had been persuaded to elope
with Mcintyre with the idea of helping
him take a. claim in Washington.
Arrived in Minneapolis, Mcintyre
offered to transfer $3.50 certificate of
deposit belonging to Miss Pollock to a
Minneapolis bank. She consented, but
he deposited the money in his own
| name. AS soon as this was done he
lost all interest in his victim and after
advising her to go to work as do
nestle, he left the city, She was un
able, because of sickness and grief, tc
hold the position she obtained, and III
her dilemma appealed to Mrs. Fair
field.
Loyal to the Last.
Even in her distress, she was lcya

PLAN FOR 1908
CONTEMPLATION
GOVERNOR NAMES COMMISSION
UNDER MANNIx RESOLUTION.
Five Persons Named Will Recommend
Plan to Celebrate the State 8 Semi
centennial VIII Have No Funds, and
Can Only Report to Next Legislature.

Governor johnson today named five
commissioners to consider and recon-
mend plan for celebrating the state s
semicentennial in 1908. They are APP
pointed under the Mannix resolution,
passed, last winter by the legislature,
named as the first member Of the COM
mission. 1t is composed as follows:
). i: Mannix, DR.. @. II. Kohler. Min
NJ. B. Cullom, Duluth; Captain C. G.
Whitney, Marshall ,s
This commission will have no funds
to spend, and can only form plan and
but the possibilities of the movement
are tremendous. The commissioners will
confer with the city commercial bodies,
and are likely to recommend an exposi-
tion devoted to exploiting the north
west. Such an exposition could be held
on the state fair grounds, utilizing the
building there for part Of the equip
ment. The cities would, no doubt, con-
tt tribute t. literally for the purpose, but
slider and decide on the commission g
plan. sE@z %a.- d.
The commission is non-partisan,
Messrs. Mannix and Whitney being re-
publicans, while the other three are
democratic. 80 III
The Mannix resolution creating the
! commission is as follows:
Text Of the Resolution.
Whereas, The year 1908 will mark a
half century of progress since the north
star state was admitted into the union,
during which time Minnesota has in
creased from few thousands to almost
two millions in population, and 3. 49,.
! Whereas, Educationally agriculturally,
commercially and politically she has set
an example of progressiveness not ex-
celled by any other state in the union,
such that Father Hennepin, as he stood
at the threshold Of the great northwest
and gazed into the future, could well have
said with prophetic voice:
Beside the squaw's light birch canoe
The steamer rocks and waves,
And city lots are staked for sale
Above old Indian graves.
IT hear the tread of pioneers
| OF nations yet to be,
The first low wash of waves
Where soon shall roll a human sea-"
Therefore, It is fitting and proper thai
such an event as the admission Of Mime
sofa into the union should be properly
commemorated by ceremony or jubila
! ton, that the achievements Of fifty year.
!, may be brought graphically before tn
eyes of her people, and the minds Of tn
rising generation be directed to and i'm
!, pressed with the example set by tn
founders of our beloved commonwealth.
Therefore, Be 1t resolved sby the hous

A conference was held this afternoon
between the council committee on paw
ing, the paving committee Of the Min
neapolis Retail Dealers association and
John B. Robbins, the northwestern rep
resentative of the Barber Asphalt COM
pany for the purpose of effecting some
arrangement for taking care Of the
downtown streets.
The asphalt company has proposed to
resurface the asphalt streets at a uni
form price Of $3.50 a square yard or
about 100000 for the entire work.
This bid includes the removal of the old
material, the deposit Of guaranty fund
to keep the pavement in frst-class con-
dition for ten years and the interest on
the company's investment, which will
be paid in five annual installments as
collected by assessments against the
abutting property.
The merchants feel that this sum is
too large in view of the size of the con-
tract and the figures obtained else
where. u-
Mr.. Robbins has agreed to do the en-
tire work, according, to specifications
for S1:l5 square yard, provided the as
ssociation, the city or any person will
finance the venture, in other words adj
vance the money. .t. +%r'|-.
Frame an Ultimatun1.
The city is not in position to adj
vance the money without using a large
share of the paving fund and deprit ing
various parts of the city Of improve.
ments which are as badly needed as
the paving of the downtown streets.
The merchants, after discussing the
matter at some length, agreed to pay
at the rate Of $l.37!!A square yard
This is their ultimatum.
The proposition is quite dubious one
in view of the scarcity Of funds, and
it may be that the problem will re-
solve itself into the matter of paving
Nicollet avenue alone and patching the
other streets. From Washington ave
nue. to Tenth street about twenty thou
sand square yards will be needed anC
the aldermen may see their way cleal
to take the necessary money from the
paving fund, as it will take only 1913,
600 on the basis Of $1.15 yard.
