MAY SAVE LIVES
OF OTHER BABES
INVESTIGATION TO FOLLOW Elk
POSTURE OF BABY FARM HORROR.
City Health Department Will Probe
Conditions at Place Where Little
frankie Heath Suffered Inspectors
Had Approved the Home After Two
Visits to the Premises. s.sss

Much sympathy is being expressed
for little frankie Heath, whose dread
full experiences in southtown tsbaby
farm = have given him fearful handi-
cap. in the struggle Of life. The insti-
tuition in which he came so near losing
his life, will be fully investigated by
the authorities, and if the facts war
rant it, prosecution will follow.
The timely discovery Of the condi-
tion Of the child may be the means Of
saving other unfortunates from like
fate. 31sS
DR.. Hall, the commissioners Of health,
is not prepared to make any detailed
public statement at this time. He has
made as careful an investigation Of
the present case as he would like to
40. At the same time the stfarm'
is under the supervision of his depart
ment, and he will not shirk any re-
sponsibility. The place has been in
speeted twice within a short period,
hrst by the chief sanitary inspector and
Later by one of the medical inspectors.
The woman in charge is vouched for by
the officers Of the Florence Crittenton
Home and others as an honest and con
sclentlous woman. But DR.. Hall has no
desire to shield the woman if the facts
are ANYTHING like those represented.
DR.. Hall says that the two cases of
death at the institution were from
whooping cough, the certificates having
been signed by physician of excellent
standing. j., - - ... III. a... ISL

COLE CARRIED SIX OF
EIGHTY.IHREE COUNTIES

A. L. Cole carried six Minnesota
counties, while Governor johnson re-
ceived pluralities in each of the other
seventy seven. Johnson carried every
county in the third, fourth, fifth, sew
enth and ninth. districts Cole carried
Houston in the first, Faribault and
Jackson in the second, both by small
pluralities, Cass and Hubbard in the
sixth and Cook in the eighth.
Itasca county went for johnson by
about 400, according to A: B. Clair of
Grand Ra pids, who reported at demo
cratic state headquarters today He
says there are about fifteen small out
lying precinct to hear from, which will
not materially change the result. Cook
county's official vote was received to-
day from Grand Marais, on the north
shore Of Lake Superior. It cast 1870
for Cole and 1875 for Johnson.
Governor Johnson 3 plurality is now
exceeding 10000, with the probability
that complete returns will increase in
stead Of diminishing it.
The wide-open tax amendment is run
ming better. With forty counties re-
porting, the amendment has 53,433
votes out of total Of 97,478 cast, or
more than $500 majority. Nothing can
be told certainly, however, till the
count is finished in Hennepin and Ram

Valuable in Time of War.

Til possibilities Of the wireless tele-
phone are practically imitless. Its
value to an army in. time of war would
be almost inestimable. Mr.. Granger s
invention is SO constructed that an en-
tire outfit with a range Of so or 100
miles could be carried by a man with
out any trouble. A scout, for instance,
could pack the telephone in a case no
larger than would be necessary for an
ordinary camera. Getting sight Of the
enemy he could instantly telephone his
information to the main body Of the
army. There would be no danger Of
having the message stolen in transmits
sion, as the instrument would be
"tuned - so as to avoid this.
Z Mr.. Granger, believes his method
eventually will take the place Of ordi-
nary telephone circuits, and he says
it will be. particularly valuable at sea in
preventing accidents IN fogs, etc, One
Of its most useful spheres is it's appli-
cation to vessels in harbor. S. Under
such conditions the wireless telegraph is
not as advanta geous, as it requires an
operator, and an experienced one, to
handle it, and delays are frequent. On
the other hand, the wireless telephone
is irst-hand instruments; and may be
applied to any vessel at a comparative
+ ly small cost. The instrument can also
be installed in house for $40, and the
cost Of operating it is very small.

MOVE ARIED TO

TYPOGRAPHICAL SURVEY BEING
MADE FOR PARK BOARD.

in Acquiring and Preserving the
Beauties Of the valley from Lake
Harriet to the Falls.

being made of the valley Of the Mime
haha creek under the direction Of Su-
perintendent Theodore With and Engi-
neer %. II. Nutter, Jr., The work will
require several months 81 Sz$ t5E
Mr.. Wirth has an idea that the park
board should control both banks Of
Minnehaha creek, within the city limits
as well Y. as the lakes feeding the creek.
Thiseidea has not been submitted to the
park board and probably will not be
until the survey has been completed.
Similar views are held by Park Commits
sioner c. M. Loring and others who
have given some study to the local park
situation. WIS
From a park standpoint it would be
desirable to control the banks simply
in order to preserve the natural trees
and shrubbery along it's course, which
will eventually disappear before the
march OF improvements. Minnehaha
creek is bound to be: another Bassett IS
creek, not only from scenic, but sani-
tary standpoint unless protected and
preserved. s,%1sss Il. n.
There is a long stretch Of the creek
between Portland and Hiawatha ave-
nues, which is not under the jurisdic
tion of the park board and also bend
here and there. It is urged that Lake
Amelia and Rice lake should also be in
cluded in the park system. Much of
the land around Lake Amelia will be
given to the board, but the meadows
around . the two lakes will probably
have to be condemned. ,.. .~

MORE MONEY FOR
SITE IS NEEDED.
NOT ENOUGH CASH AVAILABLE
FOR NEW p. o. LAND.
Matter Is Likely to Be Referred to
Congress by Secretary haw--Larger
Appropriation to Be sought-Delay
in Selection Meets with Approval.

The postoffce-site situation has re-
solved itself into the original terms
Minneapolis will have to have more
money to get a site. It is probable
that Secretary Shaw Of the treasury
department will refer the matter to
congress, stating that site cannot be
secured for the $250,O0O appropriated,
and asking more money. This is the
opinion OF Wallace G. Nye, secretary
Ct the public affairs committee Of the
Commercial club.
pressed that Minneapolis should have a
Larger appropriation. Blocks on Nicol-
Jet and Hennepin avenues, other than
the Pence site might have been consid-
cred If the appropriation had been
larger in the first place. Possibly a
block more satisfactory to all interests
would have been suggested already, and
still within the civic center plan that
has been outlined, as the Harrison block
at Washington and Nicollet avenues.
1T appears today that all of the work
th "a has been done SO far on the post
office site. situation by the people Of
Minneapolis and J. Knox Taylor, the
supervising architect, has accomplished
nothing more than the clarifying of
the situation. Delay in selecting a site
will meet with the approval of several
interests. Mr.. Nye makes on express
sion Of opinion, further than to com
ment on the action Of private inter
ests in insisting on a hearing today,
altho the Commercial club, the Mime.
apolis Retailers association, and the
Minneapolis Real Estate board tele-
graphed the secretary asking post
ponement.
Secretary Nye received a telegram
today from Secretary Shaw as follows
GAS none of the blocks can be secured
for the appropriation there is no need
to consider conflicting interests. See
I letter. -. .@}-t
William Henry Eustis of Minneapolis

.DREGER LAGS in
COUNT ! ON SHERIFF |.
WEINGART MAY YET LAND TN
THE OFFICE.
With the Country Vote All In and Five
Of the Wards Counted, the Democrat
ic Candidate Has Lead Of Several
Hundred Some Freak Votes Cast.
Who is the sheriff-elect Of Hennepin

Who is the sheriff-elect Of Hennepin
county?
The question is being asked every
where in political circles today and no
s HRe Ses shsr aPf Breger a R9ddhx his da
uties claim that the present incumbent
will win by five or six hundred votes.
Peter Weingart and his friends insist
that he is elected and put the majority
at about two hundred. The impartial
observer is entirely at sea and all in
wasting board, whose figures will be
final and which will finish the count to:
night or tomorrow morning.
Up to noon the board had completed
the country districts and the first five
wards of the city. In the territory
covered Mr.. Weingart had received TO-
90S, and Sheriff Dreger l0,167, giving
the democratic candidate a lead Of TAI
votes. The strong republican strong
holds in the Eighth and Thirteenth
wards are yet to be counted and the
Dreger vote will considerably exceed
that of Mr.. Weipgart. There are, how
the ninth and tenth-Weingart wards
and the result is in doubt. The Vein
CART vote has been increased quite ma
terially by the official figuring, and if
this continues there seems to be a good
chance Of another democratic victory.
The county canvassing board has al
ready completed the state ticket, but
there are several precincts, the returns
Of which have not been properly signed
by the judges Of election, and others
in which no vote on the charter and
constitu ional amendments have been
marked. These will be taken up in
court at once and In several instances
the sealed ballot boxes will be opened
and the ballots recounted. On this ao-
count no totals have been made and
will not be for a day or two.
The official count has disclosed sew
eral amusing instances and the dry
work Of canvassing has been. enlivened
by the grim humor of some of Henne-
pin county's voters. One man in Long
Lake evidently believes in the election
Of senators by the direct vote of the
people and voted for "Tom Lowry'
for United States senator. Another
joker in the seventh precinct Of the
second ward voted for "Jim Hill'' for
judge Of the district court. An unequal
combat was started by one of the
voters in the eighth precinct Of the
a wi Williams foar county treas.
urer against Henry c. .Hanke, who was
