BARKEEPS ARE
FOR TEMPERANCE
THES MINNEAPOLIS MlxoLoeIsTs
FORM UNIQUE ORGANIZATION.
uaion Organized the Main Object Of
Which is to Espouse the Cause Of
True temperance and to Suppress
Sale of Doped Liquor.

st. Paul, March 1s.--One OF the most
remarkable organizations in the state
of Minnesota filed articles Of inc0r-
poratlon with the secretary of state
here today 1t is the Minneapolis Bar
lenders association and one of Its
main objects is TO "espouse the cause
Eof true temperance"
The name of the new organization
is the Minneapolis Bartenders' Benev-
olent and Protective association, No.
1852. In addition to espousing the
cause of true" temperance, the or
ganization is for the purpose of sup
pressing the sale OF adulterated liquors
and to instruct its members along
moral and educational lines.
The bartenders contend that most Of
the resultant misery and bad effects Of
drunkenness are due to the use of inn
pure liquor They assert that pure
liquortt used moderately, are bene-
fetal, rather than Injurious to the user.
They contend that if adulterated
liquors are banished from the market
conditions would be so much improved
that the outcry against saloons and
dntemperance win be greatly lessened.
BY true" temperance, the bartend-
ers mean the moderate use Of pure
liquors, and IL is as much the aim of
the organization to encourage moder-
ate use as to insist upon the quality.
BY way Of instructing it's members
along moral and educational lines, the
members are to prohibit as much as
possible the use of profane language
in their saloons, to abolish winerooms
and to conduct their places upon a
highly moral" plane.
The educational activity of the or
ganization will be confined to the reg
ular monthly meetings. when promi-
nent men will be invited to speak upon
the live topics of the day.
The incorporators are all well known
among Minneapolis bartenders. 1t is
thought that one of the objects of the
organization, which is not contained
i'm the articles of Incorporation, is to
prepare a way for lifting the lid
which is now down tight

TRIAL is ON
JUSTICE SPALDlNG RESUMES
HEARING OF BISMARCK CASE.
One of the Charges Against Proprietor
of the Northwest Hotel, That Of
Keeping a Disreputable Place, Gre
ates Sensation at the Capitol.

Bismarck N. D., March 1S.-The en-
crossing theme of public interest in the
capitol city continues to be the pro-
ceedings instituted against e. G.. Pat
terson of the Northwest hotel, for al.
legged violation of the prohibition law.
There are now four charges against
the much ARRESTED landlord, three, be-
ing for offenses against the liquor laws
and one for maintaining q bawdy
house. The first liquor case has been
continued from time to time at the res
quest of the prosecution, and is now
set for trial before Justice Pierce Tues
day at o'clock p. m. The three other
charges are issued from the court OF
Judge b. F. Spalding, who is sitting as
ia committing magistrate, and came up
for hearing again at the state capitol,
Monday morning at 10 o'clock.
Considerable feeling is being mani-
Tested over the matter,
The charge Of maintaining a bawdX
house has brought forth universal ex-
pressions of disapproval and depreca-
ton. The Northwest has for years
been and still continues TO be, theaead-
ing hosiery in Bismarck, and Is at the
present time used by all prominent
visitors to- Bismarck as a stopping
place All the judges of the supreme
court make this hotel their headquar-
tiers, as does also the judge of the U.
s. district court, which is now in ses-
sion in this city. Many other premi-
nent jurists are now guests at the
Northwest, and during the session of
the legislature just closed a great
many members of both houses, to-
gether' with their wives, made the
Northwest their home. Mr.. Patterson S
family which includes his wife, his
sister and his two nieces, all of whom
move in the best society of the city,
and who are universally respected, also
reside at the Northwest.
The information on which the
charges are based was ELECTED behind
closed doors, in the presence Of but
four people, besides the person being
examined. Even the bitter personal
enemies of Mr.. Patterson are regrett-
| ing the methods Of the prosecution
The women who swore to the COM
plant in which Patterson is charged
with maintaining a bawdy house, were
only in service at the hotel for a few
days, one of them in August last and
the other this winter, both of them
being discharged for cause. The un-
usual method Of the prosecution in
calling in Judge Spalding as a commit
| ting magistrate, when another supreme
court judge was in the city at the time
is also creating some comment, and the
air is full of rumors as to tile final out

Grand Forks, N. d.. March 18.--Re-
ligious circles are excited over con-
troversy at the Great Northern station
here between Evangelist E. N, Hunt
of Minneapolis and v. p. Squires, pro-
fessor of English at the university,
who on numerous occasions has oceu-
pied the pulpits of state and local
churches.
The trouble occurred at an informal
meeting in the waiting room, when
Professor Squires asked all who were
not liars and hypocrites to hold up
their hands, following a request of
Evangelist Hunt for all Christians to
hold up their hands Squires said he
was surprised to see Rev Hunt raise
his hand at such request, and. the
discussion was becoming exciting
when Rev. MIR. Myrland asked that all
kneel in prayer for the professor.

had against the citizens on account
Of the injuries which they claimed to
have suffered. The negroes returned
to the barracks after committing the
assault on the town and many soldiers
assisted in the hurried cleaning of the
guns for the inspection which followed
soon after the shooting in the town
ceased.
Apparently the soldiers from only
one company participated in the raid,
although practically the entire battal-
ion knew that soldiers had done the
shooting.
Many of the negroes belonging to
this battalion enlisted in Galveston
during the summer of 1905 and re-
turned to the city after being dis
charged from the army. Knowing there
was a story in some of the returned
soldiers, news reporter has been
working on them for two months, but
with poor success, because the negroes
had been advised by local negro poH4
ticians to avoid a newspaper man. AM
other reporter was assigned to the
story and met with success through the
fact that the negro jumped at the con-
elusion that he was a United States
secret service detective and let the sec
ret out for obvious reasons.
The man who talked to the reporters
gave his name as ID. G. Gray and stat
ed he was formerly a private in Conn
pany B of the Twenty fifth infantry.
He is apparently 20 years of age, and is
about five feet ten inches in height,

New York. March 1S.- Some queer
attacks on President Roosevelt are be-,
ing made in Wall street. The follow
ing headed ''Roosevelt the Peace
maker" was prominently displayed in
certain brokers' offices today.
There is war in Wall street.
War against the. railroads.
War against the so.called trusts.
War against the bankers.
War against capitalists.
If this war keeps on Europe will de-
clare financial war against the United
States, and we will have to pay them
what we owe and our credit abroad
will be stopped.
Roosevelt has always been man of
opportunities.
Now is the opportunity.
IL he will be the means OF bringing
peace in the financial world, it would
be one of the greatest strokes In his
career.

Greater than the Japaneseia,R Russian

Greater than a charge up San Juan

Greater than anything Roosevelt has
over undertaken.

existing between corporations and leg
islatures, between financial leaders and
