Assembage Faithful. Rare Program Rendered
$1,000. Added the Fighting Fund.

The 18th Annual State Prohibition
Banquet took place in the great BAN
quoting hall of Masonic Temple, Min
neapolis, on the evening of the 18th
inst. No one was surprised that 1t
was by far the biggest affair of the
kind that Minnesota ProhibitiOnists
have ever known. 1t would have been
strange had the growing popularity OF
the Prohibition movement not mani
tested itself in an eager desire on the
part of many of it's friends, new and
old, to get together and celebrate re-
cent victories. Seven hundred people
sat down to the great tables and it
was an inspiring sight. Miniature
flags floated from the top Of the
menus extended before each plate. The
Dorsetts served and that is enough
to say of that. H. G. Meals Orchestra
discoursed fine music during the meal
as we'll as rendering several numbers
in the course of the program.
Chairman Higgins was the Toast
master and in his usual brief-and-to-
the-pOint style made many a hit
which caught the crowd and clinched
the thought of the speakers. Rev. S.
W. Squire rendered number of Pro-
hibition solos in his inimitable fash
ion and was heartily encored. The
program, as last year, reflected the
growing breadth of the party. 1t eX-
tended the glad hand to every enemy
of the saloon, however his method of
opposing it might differ from ours.
Prof. G. A. Gruman, of the Mime
sofa School of Business, voiced the
Welcome of the State Committee to
the best people on earth. 1t recog-
nized the demand for herOism in such
a fight as this and expressed apprec1a-
ton of the sacrifices which the rank
and file had made in order to ac-
complish the splendid results which
we are now celebrating.
Rev. Donald Mckenzie, "The Fight
ing Parson" of Excelsior, responded
to the toast "The Battle" Greasy had
written on "The Fifteen Decisive Bat
ties of the World" A history of the
sixteenth would be written, not one of
shot and shell, but one in which the
ballot was the weapon of warfare.
Heretofore we have not had square
chance at the liquor traffic. 1t has
hid behind Uncle Sam and the local
and national revenue received
from it has blinded the eyes of
many. The speaker expressed re-
gret at the absence of any reference
to the saloon issue in President
Roosevelt's message. The Southland
however had sent us cheer. Eighty
three per cent of the First Regiment
Of Minnesota fell at Gettysburg. We
must not be less true. The speaker,
with true Scottish-American spirit,
rendered effectively Burns

Come boys, and let us cut it down."
Mr.. Higgins here briefly presented
the pecuniary needs of the State Com
mittee and although a large share of
those present pledged themselves a
year ago for two years and many had
since given pledges, nearly $1,000 were
added to the assets of the Committee.
The TOastmaster introduced Rev.
Henry Holmes, State President of the
Anti-Saloon League, "an organization
of blood relations said Mr.. Higgins.
He responded to the toast Our
Friends" He said he would be
ashamed if he were neither a Prohibi-
zionist nor an active Anti-Saloon
Lacquer He desired to talk of things
in which the Anti-Saloon League and
the Prohibition party agree. I'VE
agree first" said he, lin our motto,
The Saloon Must Co. Second, in
that we are a praying people, and
third, in that we propose to use the
same instrument for our wOrk-the
ballot. Two great anti-saloon forces
are being trained,-the Prohibition
party and those who have not seen
their way to fight with it but have
been trained to fight with you in other
parties. These two divisions of the
anti-saloon army will be brought to-
gether and then we shall see the
death of the saloon"
Miss Loe, of Minneapolis, rendered
a beautiful solo and responded to- an
encore.
Ex-Mayor Jones next spoke on "The
People" He was proud to be counted
in with the champions of so great
principles. II am neither a member
of the Prohibition party nor of the
Anti-Saloon League" said he, "but I
should be ashamed if I did not speak
and work in my own party for what
you are working for. 1 say again as
have said before that if my party
will not stand for the reforms which
will save the nation, | wish it defeated.
1t is not essential that we should all
see alike" The Mayor charged upon
the brewers a large share of the evils
of the saloon, for their harboring under
one roof liquor selling, gambling and
the nameless evil and declared that
it was now too late for them to re-
deem the business. He plead for the
establishment of a substitute for the
saloon as fast as it was driven out.
The suggestion was cordially received.
THE Law" was responded to by
Judge Frederick Brown, of Mime
apolis, a Democratic district judge.
He defined the function of law in re-

Columbus is the Place
National Committee Meeting. Convention 10
Occur al the Buckeye Capital City.

AS LUo NdIIOudl FTOulDlIlOu SOAn-
mittee was in session as we went to
press last month, we were able to
mention only one or two of the most
important Outcomes of it's delibera-
tiOns.
Fifty committeeman were present
from thirty states reaching literally
from Massachusetts, to California"
Kentucky, Tennessee, West Virginia,
North Carolina and Texas represented
the Southland. Young and enterpris-
ing Oklahoma was on hand. Mime
sofa was represented by State Chair
man Higgins and State and National
Secretary CalderwOod; Wisconsin by
State Chairman Cox and EX-Chairman
Clayton North Dakota by D. Leigh
Colvin, President of the National
Intercollegiate Prohibition Association;
South Dakota by State Chairman
Templeton and Secretary Morrow and
Iowa by A. U. Coates and Malcolm
Smith.
After five hours of eloquent present
alton of the respective claims of ten
cities which desired the National Con-
vention, Columbus, Ohio, was given
the honor. The matter Of fixing the
time for the Convention was left with
the Executive Committee.
The basis of representation deter
mined upon was the same as in 1904,
four delegates at large from each state
and territory and in addition one
delegate for each 200 votes or major
fraction thereof cast for Swallow for
President. This provides for a cOnven-
tion of 1903 delegates. The total
number of delegates to the conven-
tion of 1900 was 1884 and to the 1904
convention 1241. Illinois will lead off
with 178. Indiana comes next with
121. Then follow New York, 108;
Ohio, 101; Pennsylvania, 70; Michi-
gan, II; Iowa, 62; Wisconsin, So;
California, AZ; Kansas, Al; New Jer-
sey, SO; Kentucky, 81 and Nebraska,
So.
Minnesota will be entitled to IS
delegates, North Dakota to 10, and
South Dakota to 10.
There were several candidates for
the national craftsmanship. While
not seeking the honor, Secretary Cal
derwood received 20 votes. The re-elec-
tion of chairman Jones was made
unanimous and Felix T. McWhirter
was also unanimously reelected
National Treasurer. Secretary Calder
wood holds over until the convention
The report of Chairman Jones in
cluded many facts of interest and i'm
portance. The receipts of the Com
mittee are given elsewhere in this
issue. During his term Mr.. Jones
has visited every state in the Union,
attended state conferences and cOnven-
tions in "a and the Committee has
sent 81 other national field workers
into 80 states.
The resolutions presented by Dr..
Cranfill embodying suggestions made
by Robert H. Patton regarding the in
vitation of fraternal delegates to the
convention and pre-convention Con-
ference were referred to the Executive
Committee. Resolutions were adopted
urging the organization of National
Issue Clubs, pledging support to the
new paper, The National Prohibition
list, commencing the National Com
mittee's press service and endorsing
the Worlds Temperance Congress to
be held at Saratoga Springs next June.

DEMAND FOR MECHANICS
Shortage in the Navy Yards on thu
Pacific Coast.

In answer to numerous inquiries re-
ceived in regard to an article published in
the press to the effect that a large force
of mechanics is needed at the navy yards
on the Pacific coast. the Secretary of the
Navy has issued a circular stating that
owing to shortage of mechanics on the
west coast 1t is unable to secure a SUM-
cient number to meet the demand at the
Mare Island or the Puget Sound navy
yards. However, he says, the department
Is unable to furnish transportation to ap-
plicants for employment at these yards,
the only inducement being offered is the
fact that they will be p>Nnitted to register
by mail. For further information appli-
cants should address the board of labor
employment at either the navy ward.
Mare Island Cal. or the navy yard Puget
Sound. Wash.
In contradiction of the published state
ment that wages at the Pacific naval sta
tons were no higher than wages for
similar work at the Washington nayy
yard. 1t was officially stated at the NAVY
Department today that the pay of second
class machinists at the navy yard, Mare
Island. Cal. is 1915 day, the same as
the pay of f1rst-class machinists at the
Washington navy yard, while the pay OF
first class machinists at the California
yard Is 81. 16 a day.

to the effect that the defendant signed the

CONTROVERSY OVER ESTATE.
Caveat Filed to Will of Mrs. Louise
A, B. Hughes.

Another step has been taken in the
litigation involving the estate OF Mrs.
Louise A B. Hughes. who died in New
York last January leaving property
valued at about 100000. A caveat was
filed late yesterday afternoon to her al
legged last will. dated March 3, 1902. which
bequeathed a large portion Of her estate
to the late Edward G. Niles. who was her
legal adviser and at one time committee
of her estate. when she was adjudged in
sane.
The caveat filed by Ivory G. Kimball
and w. H. Sholes. executors under a
former will. dated March "a. 1899. and
filed some time ago, sets forth that the
petitioners are informed that a certain
writing, bearing the date of March 3. 1862,
and alleged to be the last will and tesla
ment Of the said Louise A. B. Hughes, has
also been filed in the Probate Court for
probate. They state that IL probate is
allowed ON this last-named instrument,
their interests as executors will be injuri-
ously affected.
1t is claimed that this instrument of
March 8. 1902. Is not the last will and
testament of Mrs. Hughes. and that at
the time 1t was executed she was not of
sound mind. and not capable Of executing
