THE MODERN BROTHERHOOD OF
MAN.

Not many centuries ago the ambas-
sailors to country were its hostages,
held as security for the good behavior
OF their own nations toward the one
to which they were accredited. They
were men of prominence whose lives
were subject to the demands of the
nation, should that of the ambassador
break treaty faith.
In those times men shook hands
not to express friendship but to show
mortal enemies, that they were I'M
armed
When men travelled but little, there
was little need of any means by which
they could be recognized by their fell
lows whom they had never seen. The
man who came to establish a world
religion did not travel over a region
hundred miles long in presenting
that religion to the world.
But In our modern age the man who
has not travelled more than a hundred
miles could find lucrative employ
ment in dime museum.
Our changed conditions and the
enormous commercial business con-
Quoted in this age, together with the
rapidity of travel. make it necessary
that men shall mingle largely with
those to whom they are strangers.
1t is often important for him to
know the integrity and the standing
of the men he meets. Inquiry among
the public-strangers to him-would
not only be embarrassing but unre-
liable. What is needed is some meth
cd by which men. otherwise strangers,
can meet upon a common ground.
This is the great work of the mod
ern secret society, and the badges Of
the scores of orders are guarantees
of the integrity of the wearers.
There is nothing in the modern So
cial development that is more useful

out in the report of the committee on

sixth district convention held at the
West hotel today. " t..
The institutions supported are the
National Jewish hospital for consump-

GROSS EARNINGS SUITS
STATE WILL START ACTIONS
SOON AGAINST GREAT NORTH
ERN AND GREAT WESTERN.

Suits will be filed in few days by
Attorney General Young, to collect the
per cent gross earnings tax from the
Great Northern and Great Western
roads. The outcome of these cases will
decide whether the state is restrained
from collecting per cent by the terri
torial charters held by the two systems.
The Great Northern has paid 8 per cent
on its 1905 earnings, and the Great
Western per cent. The suing is for
the balance, and in the Great Northern
case it amounts to about 100000.
The Great Western case will involve
the other per cent of the 1905 earn
ings, and also p per gent on the earn arm
state claims that under the 3-per cent
law the Great Western was included,
and never should have been let off
with per cent.
The case will go to the supreme court
in any event and will be a great legal
battle.

MARKET GARDENERS
REAPING A HARVEST

The first two weeks Of this season
with the local produce market, have
been the most successful Of any open
ing fortnight since the market was in
augurated Each day there have been
from ninety to one hundred stalls oc-
cupied. The cash business each morn
ing has averaged from 81 900 to $4,000.
One man brought in a single load Of
lettuce and radishes for which he re-
ceived 1926. Much Of the garden truck
offered 50 far has been raised under
glass, but at present open garden prod
ucts offered include asparagus, spinach,
radishes, onions and pieplant.
The outlook for fine crop Of garden
truck is bright. 1t is expected that
Minnesota strawberries will be in the
produce market early in June. The
early berries have been nipped little
by the late frosts, but the crop will be
fully up to last year. 4.

There was a stein on the table and
enough, but it wasn't the Song and
Stein club, whose Saturday night meet
ing resulted in the appearance OF four
student youths in the police court to-
day. Ted, Johnson, William johnson,
H. D. Potter and H. D. Richards were
the names given by the pournful quar-
tet whose merry party grew so sad at
the conclusion.
It was all due to the refusal Of the
National hotel management to keep on
serving all sorts of refreshments after
the hour of midnight on Saturday.
This didn't suit the student bunch at
that they be served that Patrolman
Healey finally appeared on the scene
to quiet the disturbance. He arrested
the prisoner who gave his name as Ted
Johnson and was Immediately .assailed
by all the students attempting a res
cue: The patrolman held his man, how
ever and; stood off the crowd with his
revolver till official assistance came.
The four young men were arra1g1 1e
orderly conduct. Their Attorneys ap-
peared for them while the defendants
remained outside, but Judge E. F. Waite
thought it more proper that they should
appear in court with other and less for
| tunate culprits. So they stood before
the bench and whispered their true
| names to the court. Ted Johnson, who,
the court believed, was largely re-
sponsible for starting the trouble, was
fined $25, and the other three men were
fined 500 each.
This sad affair has been the cause of
deep regret to the real Song and Stein
club, which held a meeting Saturday
night at the Hotel Nicollet and dis
cussed intellectual topics over huge
bumpers of iced tea. In some way the
National hotel bunch was credited with
being the s. and S. aggregation, an
implication to which the members Of
that organization are entering panied
| and strenuous denials today.

CAFE BARGE FORCED
TO. CLOSE ITS DOORS

Cafe Barge, 24o-2 First avenue is
closed today while the proprietor Jacob
Barge, one Of the best-known and old
est restarauteurs of the city is placing
the affairs of the business in the hands
of the creditors. Mr.. Barge, it is an
nounced by his hackers, will make
formal assignment for the protection of
the creditors, after which the place will
be reopened and business resumed.
The cafe was opened Nov. 20, 1905,
in the f1ve-story building formerly occu-
pied as a wholesale paper house. Con
siderable money was expended in fitting
up the first two floors for the restaurant
and delicatessen business and the place
seemed to be popular and to be doing a
thriving business. It was the intention
of Mr.. Barge to fit up the three upper
floors for hotel use, but the plan could
not be carried out owing to. the, obsta-
cles presented by the city building ordi-
nances. It is said that the load of
carrying these three floors vacant
caused Mr.. Barge to, make an assign
ment today. The business was paying
and growing, it is said by his hackers,
but the profits were taken by the vacant
unavailable space. The bar in the place
did good business. e= Z
Tho it is announced by Mr.. Barge s
hackers that the place will open in a
day or two, it is not said just what plar
will be undertaken to care for the re
sponsibility Of carrying the three upper
floors. The Minneapolis Brewing com
pany is interested and will probably ex
ercise a considerable influence in what
ever arrangements are made. It may
be possible to utilize the floors for stor
age Of some sort or to secure tenants

PLEADS FOR UNITY
DR.. George L. Zepin Discusses Dangers
of Fractional Strife.

of fractional Strife.
"Unity for the Jewish Race was
the subject of an eloquent plea made
by Rev. DR.. George l.. Zepin before
an open meeting OF the sixth district
convention of the B mai B 'rith at the
Reformed Jewish Temple last night.
raking for his subject 'Our Con-
tending Factions,' DR.. Zepin pointed
out that the Jewish race was threat
ened with disruption and, perhaps, with
extinction, thru the factions into which
it is divided. He named as the chief
divisions the Reformed church, which
thodox church, which asks how the
candidate observes certain forms and
customs, and the B Mai B 'Rith, which
is solely a racial order and asks only
if q man be Jew, is a third division,
which overlaps the other two and which
seeks to draw them together on matters
pertaining to the good of the race,
while permitting them to, differ as they
please on points Of doctrine. ~ O. -,
"Disaster will attend these divi-
sions,' said Dr. Zepin,, for they. di-
vide us in numbers as well as in aims:
The question is often asked, What will
become of this wonderful people9' Uni
ty means the preservation Of our race
and the choice between life and death
is before you. >.
"The humor of the situation lies in
the fact that all three factions are
right and all three are wrong. The
solution of the problem lies in a broad
ening of party lines until they merge,
giving us a united people which shall
go on to final and complete victory

.HENNEPIN AVENUES
FATE IS NOT SETTLED

Hennepin avenue was the principal matter
under considerat ton by the park board at its
meeting this afternoon. There is sentiment
among the park commissioners that the board
has won a substantial victory in the mandamus
proceedings brought by the property owners to
compel the board to retain control Of Hennepin
avenue and that it is justified in abandoning all
efforts to maintain the street as q thorofare.
On the other hand both the city council and
the property owners have urged the park board
to continue in nominal charge until the legal
court for final adjudication. The board may
therefore look after the street during the sum-
mer.
The report of the commissioners on the awards
for the two blocks between The Parade and
park purposes, was presented. Formal objec.
tions have been filed by Brattleboro Savings
bank. Ann c. Kitchell and L. S. Gillette the
ground that the awards are too low.
