CLUBS IN ST. PAUL S

ST. Paul, Mimi, Dec. 16-The Sun
day Lid movement has ceased to be
a joke IN st. Paul and it is possible
that the crusade which provoked SO
much hilarity among the bibulous
may result in the taking of the aft
ella scalps of the mayor and the chief
of uolice. The latest development is
a formal demand in behalf of the.
Christian Endeavor societies Of the
city upon Attorney General Young,
for the enforcement Of the closing law,
an II O'clock lid. and the removal
from office of officials responsible for
the enforcement of the law if they
do mot act. While the movement has
vet failed to enlist a large proportion
|of the citizens, it has the energetic
support of d number Of very active
church societies and a sufficient fol
lowing to make things very interest

One Plant Has Many Eyes

The night has thousand eyes, but the nasturtium leaf has more. Holding up his hand in front of a desert shrub, an experimenter has recently taken q photograph showing half dozen distinct images of his fingers formed by the eyes of the plant. Many common garden and wild fowers-the nastur- tium, begonia, clover, wood sorrel and bluebell among others-possess eyes sit uatod on their leaves. They are minute protuberances filled with a transparent gummy matter which focuses the rays of light on to a sensitive patch of tissue at the back of it in similar manner to that in which the eyes of an animal do their work. A common nasturtium plant has thousands of such eyelets on its leaves, forming thousands of minute images of the objects around them. But though plant may have eyes, it does not follow that it sees. It is not yet known if the sense impress sions are telegraphed to some central nerve exchange corresponding to the brain of the animal. In addition to these light sense organs many plants possess touch sensitiveness and res ponse to electric stimuli that show fur ther resemblances to the animal world, while ferns, mosses and seaweeds in an early stage of their existence are capa- ble of actually swimming through the water.

MACHO To GET

Macho, grating employment
agent, has achieved additional dis
tinction. Mayor Moore, Chief Rice
and the license inspector have in
turn vainly urged the council to re.
woke Macho's license for ro1b'1g
working men through fai e emp .oy-
ment offers. Last night Actin,
Mayor Pratt took a shot at Macho
with the same sort of a message
The council, which has stood by
Macho through thick and thin, was
moved thereby to set Saturday
night as the date of a hearing
whereat Macho is to be invest cat
ed. He has been investigated sc
frequently by the police that the tx
perience will be nothing new t.
him.
The reason he has not been con
victed on various charges IF gait
ing working men out If fees for
pretended Jobs is that he is an
adept In avoiding ,r.al until his vic
tins have left or can be got ont OF
town, leaving the prosecution with

LAST ACT PLAYED IN
POOL ROOM FARCE

All Is happy ami serene today at
Interstate fair headquarters, the
Wander Of commerce and other
places where the financial success
of the annual fair Is matter of
deep concern. Likewise is there
plenty Of similar good fee ling
among the gambling fraternity and
all for the same cause.
The city council last night per-
formed its advertised double back
somersault on the anti-poolroom or
dinance, permitting race track
fleeing for the weeks of the fair.
At other times this easy method
OF separating the unsuspecting
from his money Is all wrong. But
by the grace of the fair the game
may be worked to the limit in this
city while the races are run here.
Such is the wisdom of the city faith
res.
When the pool room ordinance
was passed with virtuous whoop
month ago only Councilman Lam
bert voted against it, taking the
ground he has held all along that
to prohibit pool selling would hurt
the fair
Last night all the councilmen
had been converted to a belief in 2
weeks of unrestricted pool selling
with the exception of Funk, and
he explained that his constituents,
the Union Park stalwarts, wouldn't
let him.
Thus ends the greatest civic leg
islative farce ever performed in this
or any other city. In obedience to
the civic clubs and other influences
opposed to gambling, and likewise
to play little politics. the council
prohibited pool selling, which is the
formal name for race track skin
game.
In obedience to the fair manage
ment which had set it's heart on a
race track gambling harvest, and to
all other strength that could be
summoned the council obligingly
bungled up its action to suit a spe-
cial interest. Presumably II suf-
ficiently strong showing is made in
another direction the council will
as promptly veer in that direction.
But the interstate management
doubtless feels safe enough on that
score.
The rankest part of the whole
deal Is Mayor MoOre's part In It,
de issued an interview in which
he declared he would not sign an
amendment and made numerous
other expressions relative to main

given notice of the time when the
question would come up for discus
sion. Councilmen, it proved, were

man Baldwin said they understood
1t was still in committee Of the
whole. Corporation Counsel Hamb-
len explained away that notion by
stating that at the last committee
meeting he was instructed to draw
a new ordinance including recon-
mendations and present it to the
next regular meeting. AS amended
the ordinance requires the railroad
company to lower its tracks feet,
to pay for third of the cost of any
street improvement, a third of the
cost of a viaduct were l built and
to stand a third of the expense of
property damages.
Attorney Pierce and Attorney
Stern, the latter the railroad repre-
sentative, got into tilt during the
formers demand for notice to his
constituents. Stern made some jok-
ing remark and Pierce replied:

so that it will not come up and be
considered in whispers" (Stern

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 14.-The
telegraph situation today is worse
than at any time since the strike
was inaugurated. San Francisco
might as we'll Sc off the map so far
as the companies are concerned.
The wire paralysis is extending in
all directions.
The Postal is in somewhat better
shape than the Western Union, but
neither company is moving any ap-
probable amount Of business. The
Western Union is almost entirely
cut off from communication with
the south since Monday.
Conditions on wires to the east
are little better. The Postal sue
ceeded in recovering Los Angeles
wires today, but congestion was so
great that all business was accept
ed subject 10 indefinite delay.
The Western Union accepted bus
mess to all points under the same
conditions. Very little business is
being transacted on the stock ex-
change today and what little trad
ing was done slowed declines.
Striking operators continued to
leave this city today.

health about the condition of the
Offices which the companies main.
tain in this city. The operators
claim that the condition Of these
places is such that they are NUS

and general lack of proper sani-

board that this is not the first COM
plant that has been made against

LOCAL TELECRAPHERS
EXPLAIN THEIR STAND
Prejudiced Newspapers Attempt to Show That
Operators Have No just Grievance.

The local telegraph strike situa.
tion remains practically unchanged
The ranks of the striking operators
are intact. The Western Union has
secured one additional man in addi-
tion to the two who refused to quit
work at the time of the strike. The
name of the new recruit Is not
known. He Is said to be a profess
sional strike-breaker.
The names of the two men who
remained at work are j. Wallace
Seeker, non-union man, and c. w.
Cloves, MEMBER of the union,
who was deferred from joining his
brethren, through promises of one
kind or another from the company
officials. Pres. Nisonger of the 10
cal union says:
Company officials are trying to
impress the public with the idea
that the main contention Of the op.
orators is that the sliding scale is
being put into effect and deny that
such practice is in existence or
In contemplation. The union oper-
ators are In position to cite spe-
cific instances where the sliding
scale has been operated, but say
that the main issues which led up
to the strike were an increase in
wages and reduction of working
hours.
Certain subsidized and preju-
diced newspapers make the state.
ment to the public that the issue
is a closed shop and that the oper-
ators are without substantial
grievances

PARK Wins
CAMPAIGN AGAINST SALOON
RESULTS IN UNANIMOUS
VOTE REJECTING APPLICA-
TlONS FOR LICENSES.

The people of Union Park, who
don't need a saloon, don't want a
saloon and won't have saloon,
have put a crimp in the brewery
business as far as that part of the
city is concerned, and have opened
the way for a successful campaign
against saloons Invading the resi-
dent districts in other sections.
Last night the council rejected
applications for saloons in Union
park without single civic states
man saying a word on behalf of the
booze peddlers.
The action was rewarded by the
hearty applause OF number Of I'm
ion Park citizens who were in the
hall. They had fought the saloon
night and day and the action of the
council was to them a matter of
vital Importance. 1t is equally i'm
portant to the city at large, also,
as it apparently marks the begin
ming of an era when saloon men
will not be able to designate the
part Of town they desire to operate
in.
Councilman Lambert moved the
denial of the liquor license last
night and was followed by Funk
and Brown, who also opposed the
licenses.
That settled the matter and the
Union Park people are to be COM
mended for another successful fight
against the liquor interests.
Councilman Lambert's ordinance
restricting saloons to the fire linn
it passed the first reading.

IS AFTER
TRANSFERS

Provided the council ever gets to
it the discussion of requiring trans.
fers from one streetcar line to an.
other will be taken up. Council
man Funk proposed resolution to
this effect last night and it was re.
ferred. Such an arrangement pre-
walls in almost every city where
there are competing lines and
should be in force here. But the
council has a way of referring a
thing effecting corporation inter
and then forgetting all about it.
1t Is now up to Councilman Funk
to insist upon the resolution being
taken up at the earliest possible
moment.

the Summit Coal company, making
a total fine of IS for each man who
took part in recent strike con
trary to the provision In the con
tract with the state miners organ

and each miner was assessed 81 q
day, or a total of $4,000. which
goes into the Golfers of the coal
company. This is the first time the
contract was ever enforced against
striking miners.

ell and commission will discuss the

tanning his self-respect, etc. But it
proved to be an easy matter to in
duce the mayor to take a pleasant
trip to Chicago at the city's expense
leaving Councilman Pratt in the
chair Mr.. Pratt made no bones
about favoring the amendment. He
stated last night that he would
sign it today.
That the mayor did not know
what was to be done during his alb.
sence must be dismissed from the
range of probability. He was a par
ty to the deal as much as Pratt or
any of the others. 1t was simply /
of the many little ways of handing
the moral element" grain of
sugar and then dose of quinine.
But what was the use of all the
horse play? II the council really
wants to help the fair carry out its
money-making schemes why didn't
1t take that stand in the first place?
II there was any good reason for
prohibiting pool selling why did 1t
not maintain consistent course in
that?
Perhaps Sec. Cosgrove, of the
fair association, or any 1 of the
dozen or SO members of that organ
ization who were busy with the
council until last nights session be-
gan could explain. Perhaps the
councilmen who were converted
could.
But would they?
Here is the vote:
For amendment-Brown, Gray,
Baldwin, Estep, Pratt, Phillips,
Lambert.
Against--Funk. Laumer. Dalke.
