New York, July 3.-No news of any kind has yet been received of the Fa- bre Line Steamer America, which sail- ed from Marseilles June 8, for this city, carrying 1l0 passengers and 70 men comprising the crew. Apprehen- sion for the safety of the steamer was expressed in shipping circles today. The steamers agent, however, explains that she likely has become disabled by a breakdown of her machinery or the loss of her propeller.
 It was June Il that the steamer lefk the Azores and she should have come into port here in nine days with good weather. Twenty two days have pass ed and no vessel arriving from Medi- terranean ports has sighted the Ameri- ca. The Germania, a steamer of the same line coming from Marseilles and Palermo over the same track. report ed upon her arrival here last Friday that she had seen nothing of the Amer- ica and today the Madonna also of the same line came into port from the Med- iterranean, but nothing of the Amerf@ ca was seen on the trip.

PARKS WILL DISPLAY "
WELCOME TO THE c. A. R.

When the members of the Grand
Army Of the Republic gather in Min
neapolis next August for the annual
encampment they will find that the
preparations made in their honor and
for their entertainment have not been
arranged on the spur of the moment.
The executive committee in charge of
the encampment is already making
elaborate plans for little novelties that
will be Of great interest to the visitors
and full Of significance as well.
It has been suggested to the park
board by the committee that the Min
neapolis park system play its part in
the welcome that is to be extended
next August. The committee suggests
one plan calling for special floral de-
signs in all the parks and boulevards
where the park board has flower plots
and beds.
By beginning now it will be possible
to plan special designs appropriate to
the G.. A. r. that will be in their prime
when the encampment comes. These
designs will be as beautiful and pleas
ing as any to the general public and
other visitors, and will be special at
tention to the veterans and their friends
who cannot fail to realize when they
see them that they were planned
months in advance as special compli-
ment to them.

NEW YORK AUTO " .
-. SHOW A WINNER

Harry E. Pence returned today from
New York, where he was in attendance
at the automobile show. A number Of
prominent Minneapolitans went east for
the exhibition. Mr.. Pence left party
in New York, including Judge J. B. Gil
fllan, John B. Gilfllan, Jr., Alfred F.
Pillsbury, Charles Pillsbury, B. H.
Woodwork, Fred B. Wells and George
c. Christian. Several Of the party had
the races . at. Daytona, Florida, before
returning to Minneapolis. - -
Mr.. Pence says the New York show
was the biggest ever held and the most
successful. Madison Square Garden
was crowded from morning until mid
night, and in the evening New York So
ciety was out in force, and number
Of foreigners Of prominence were to be
seen. High power cars were not especi-
ally in evidence. Altho the big ones
were there. the average exhibitor
showed a ffty-horsepower car for cen
ter attraction, more attention being
The foreign exhibitors, from London,
Paris, Milan, Turin and other centers
were in evidence, but American-made
cars showed up with the best of them.
Two features Of the exhibition Of spe-
cial note were the display of practical
service cars and the foreign and do
nestle steel exhibits. The basement of
the garden held hundreds Of trucks and
delivery carts, of the automobile type,
and Has the center Of attraction for
many business men. In the galleries
the great Krupp works of Germany, the
Cramps Of Philadelphia, and the Bethle-
hem and Midyale steel foundries Of
Pittsburg, exhibited material used in
construction work with charts and de-
scriptive matter giving strength and
resisting power Of material, all Of
which proved highly interesting.
. 'HIhe greatest season ever known is
opening for Minneapolis, said Mr..
Pence. :" q season that will fix i'm
moveably the predominance of Mime
apolis as the automobile center Of the
northwest. In one week recently thirty
five high grade cars were sold here to
go into North Dakota alone, and, from
the way the thing is opening up, there
IS every reason to expect trade in
the coming season that will exceed the
big business Of last year by many
thousands Of dollars

GRADE CROSSINGS
CASE TOMORROW
WILL SETTLE RESP
OF EXPENSE.
Supreme Court Will Take Up City's
Appeal from Decision Of Judge An
drew Holt to the Effect That Rail
= way Companies Need Not Rebuild
Bridge over Tracks. ="

The test case to determine the con-
troversy between the city and the
Great Northern Railway company over
the responsibility for the expense Of
separating grade crossings is set for
The suit grows out of the destruction
Of the highway bridge over the Great
Northern and Northern Pacific tracks
at University. and Twenty ninth ave-
nues NE, which was partially de-
stroyed by fire and then collapsed. Tho
build the bridge, but declined to do SO
on the ground that they had secured
the right Of way before the street was
extended across. Mandamus proceed
ings were brought in the district court
and Judge Andrew Holt ruled that the
position of the railway companies was
correct. The city took an appeal to
the supreme court.
The case is one Of vast Importance
to the city, as on the decision depends
the solution of the grade crossing ques-
tlons in Southeast and South Mime
apolis. The city contends that, no mat
ter whether the railway tracks or the
street was on the ground first, it is the
track which causes the danger, and it
IS the duty of the companies to make
the crossing safe.
ALI the grade-crossings matters are
now held up until the authority Of the
city to enforce the separation Of the
crossings has been established.
The council is believed to be united
on the proposition Of pushing the i'm
provements as rapidly as possible. Plans
have already been adopted for South
east Minneapolis at Oak street and
University avenue Sc and for the in
terurban crossing on Washington ave-
nue. Sc.
The Milwaukee problem has not adj
vanced so far, but its engineers are
working on plans and these will be
submitted to the special council COM
.mittee on grade crossings two weeks
from today. It is expected that they
will make many objections to the plans
prepared by City Engineer Andrew
tinker and will endeavor to effect a
compromise which will reduce the pro-
posed elevation Of the tracks to nine
feet above the present grade.

Five hundred children are coasting
down the splendid hill at Fairview
park today, thanks to Theodore Wirth,
the new superintendent Of parks, who
today is the most popular man in
North Minneapolis among the young
sters.
Mr.. Wirth visited the park yesterday
and inquired of the park officer as to
his duties The man said that he did

But the coasting can It hurt the grass

The policeman was not sure, but sup
posed that it was part of his duty to
keep the children off the tempting hills.
He was instructed to allow the children
lay out the slide SO as not to- injure

The order was Clipped off,. to the

It is one Of the purposes Of Mr.. Wirth
in planning parks, to make them useful
as we'll. as ornamental. While the
scenic value Of park tract is always
kept in view, it is his idea that the
more park is used by the general pub
which the money was expended. Pub.

than mere scenic parks where much
money is expended simply for the graft

MRS. CARLSON FOUND

Mrs. A. Carlson the woman who is
,aid to be demented and who has been
sought by the police for three weeks, was
.ound last night and taken in charge BY
Police Matron Sarah Schaeffer at Gem
trail station. -
Mrs. Carlson was recently discharged
from an asylum in Montana and came
here, where she took charge of her A.
Year-old child who had been cared for
during her absence by relatives Then
she disappeared from the home Of her
brother in North Minneapolis and could
hot be found.
Last night a policeman learned that
she had rented a room and was trying to
care for the child, altlo she could find
no employment. She said she feared that
her relatives would take the child away
from her and send her back to an
asylum. Nothing has been done in her
case yet, but friends have promised to
care for her.

After successfully avoiding the
treacherous pitfalls of a large city, Lulu
iOstrum, the l7-year-old girl who was
found dead by the roadside near Grand
Rapids, Mimi, yesterday, is thought to
have met her death Indirectly as a re-
SUIT, OF acquaintance made in Mime
apolis three months ago.
The young girl, who is the daughter
OF H.. b. Ostrum Of Nekoosa, Mimi,
was found dead in the snow twelve
miles southeast Of Grand Rapids. No
ono could account for her death, and the
murder theory is gaining credence.
Lulu came to Minneapolis with an
older friend three months ago in search
Of work. A woman had written to her
telling Of the money to be made here.
While the two girls were wandering
along Washington avenue S, Patrolman
Dudrey questioned them, and finding
they were lost, took them to the Union
City mission and placed them in charge
OF superintendent G. M. Stocking. They
tole Mr.: Stocking that the woman had
arranged to meet them at the station,
but had failed to keep her promise.
The following day the woman came
to She mission and took the girls to
a place on Sixth street S, where she
sale she was working. Later they re-
turned for their baggage, and suspect
ing something wrong, Mr.. Stocking de-
LallGd one OF the men at the mission TO
follow them. They went to a lodging
house ACROSS from the Milwaukee sta
tion, and there were found by a po-
liceman detailed from headquarters, who
accompanied Mr.. Stocking.
The strange woman would not give
her name, but said that she was once
a neighb0r of the girls and would get
them employment. She did not have
the chance, however, for the girls were
taken back to the mission and the next
day were given transportation to their
home. When they were at the station
the etrange woman, who still posed as
their friend, was there and said she
intended to accompany the girls to see
that they got into no trouble. r.. s..
That was the last seen of them in
MINI eapolis, altho Lulu father had
his attorney write a letter to Mr., Stock
ing thanking him for rescuing his
daughter and sending him money to
pay For their expenses while here. Mr..
Stocking says he fears that the girl
again met the woman who was so much
interested in the case and was led into
bad company. He does not know how
the girl came to be in Grand Rapids.
but thinks that if the officials look for
the strange woman they will learn more
of the girl IS death. 49,
