LOCALS LOSE TO BRAINERD,

The ball game played on the grounds
at the ceder yards Sunday afternoon
between the North Stars and the Lit
tie Falls teams was one of the fastest
and cleanest games played this year,
says the Brainerd Dispatch That it
was fast is seen by the score of 2 to 0
in favor of the Brainerd team. It was
also clean throughout, not only as to
errors but as to jangling and Quarrel,
ling. The Little Falls boys were good
ball players but were unable to con-
meet with Shepherds quick curves,
only making one hit off him. He
struck out 13 men allowing but one
nit, and Little Falls never saw third
base during the contest. The Brain
erd batters found Newman, the Little
Falls pitcher, but We're unable to get
more than two hits off him, while he
struck out but one man. There were
but two errors made by each team
Manager Koop, Of the North Stars,
speaks very highly Of the Little Falls
team, not only as ball players but as a
fine bunch of young fellows, all of
whom are perfect gentlemen. Mr..
koop had two special police on the
grounds to prevent any repetition of
the dlsgraceful affair OF the Sunday
previous but their services were not
needed.
That our boys could not have had
their batting eye must be true, as in
the game played here a couple OF
weeks ago, the same pitcher was
batted all over the lot The Brainerd
aggregation was also strengthened a
great deal with players from Staples
and Motley. According to the report
of the home team two hits were made
on each side. The locals, although
feeling that they should have won, are
not downcast, and are doing some
good work this week. They will 20
up against the strong st. Cloud team
Sunday to play off the rubber, each
having won game, and expect to
win.

COURT REFUSES TO
RESTRAIN THE POLICE
Effort to Stop Raids on Alleged
5ueketshop FalIs--case Is Con-
tinued and Defendants
Must Appear

Judge Conrey yesterday denied the re-
stralning order against Chief of Police
Kern, officers OF the prosecuting at
torney's office and District Attorney
J. ID. Fredericks, by which It. c. VIII
kins, manager of an alleged broker e
office, sought to prevent the police raid
ing his place of business. Demurrers
in which the defendants asked the
case be dismissed were overruled at the
same time, and the defendants will be
compelled to appear in court and answer
10 the suit.
wilkins filed his complaint January
1s, claiming he had been the object of
a number of raids by the police, which
were carried out in pursuance of the
city ordinance prohibiting the trading
In commodities without actual pur-
chase on any board of trade. A re-
strainlng order was asked, together
with $20,140 damages. A ruling on the
validity of the ordinance in question
was also requested, but both sides yes
terday entered into a stipulation that
for the purpose of getting a decision on
the order to restrain and demurrers
the ordinance would be regarded as
valid.

SAY LAB0RER AIDED
IN THEFT OF EGGS
Detectives Arrest Alleged Companion
of Man and Wife Now Held at
the Central Police
Station

w. l.. Gray, a labprer who lives or
Towne avenue near Ninth street, was
arrested late yesterday afternoon by
Detectives Chapman and Home and
booked at the central police station on
suspicion.
Gray is alleged to have been con-
nected with John L. Mitchell in the
wholesale theft of eggs from the
Wells Fargo Express company. Ac-
cording to the story related by the
police, Gray is the man who did the
selling of the eggs after Mitchell had
secured them from the depot of the
company or from the cars at the rail-
road stations.
The plan seems to have been for
Mitchell to drop off one or more cases
of eggs at some agreed point. and
Gray would then call at the Mitchell
house and find out where the eggs had
been cached. The next day he would
go with wagon and get the eggs and
take them to some regular customer.
1t seems that the men had built up
a regular route for the distribution of
eggs and numbered among their pa
irons restaurants, boarding houses,
grocers and small produce dealers and
peddlers.
One other man remains to be arrest
ed in connection with the case, and 1t
is possible a number of the dealers
who have been purchasing eggs from
the men at reduced rates will be
called on to settle for the stolen goods.

UP TO THE COUNCIL TO ADOPT
REPORT MONDAY
Trolley Representatives VIII Fight
Plan of Assessing All Rolling
Stock at Figures SWELL
ing Costs

The special committee appointed by
Council President Niles Pease to pre-
pare a draft of an ordinance
regulating the licensing of street cars
In Los Angeles will report as follows
according to the latest program:
We recommend that each and
every street car operated in the
city of Los Angeles be required to
pay a monthly license OF 81 per
month, payable quarterly in ad-
vance. and that each and every
street car operated for a less period
than a quarter be required to pay
license of $3.50 a month for each
month so operated, and that the
license for each car operated be
placed conspicuously in the interior
of the car near the cash register,
and present herewith and ask your
honorable body to adopt the ac-
companying ordinance.
For various reasons the committee
has preferred to make no definite an
of it's report, but the de-
cision has finally been made to put the
figures at 50 a car.
In the meantime the trolley attorneys
will muster their forces to prevent any
changes being made from the old plan
when the council meets Monday.
City Auditor w. c. Mushet contends
that Los Angeles should follow the
rule of taxing each car. thus prevent
ing any exceptions or evasions.

NEW YORK Jan. 31.-GovernoT
Charles e. Hughes, whose nomination
for the presidency by the Republican
national committee 10 being urged by
the New York county committee and
other Republican county committees
In New York state, made an. open
declaration of his views on national is
sues and principles tonight.
The governor was given an ovation
when he concluded his speech. De-
claring the Republican party wasN a
party of progress and stability, Coy
ernor Hughes In his speech commend
ed the administration of President
Roosevelt as one which, ito a degree
almost unparalleled. has impressed the
popular Imagination and won the con-
fldence of the people,"
Governor Hughes asserted his un-
qualified opposition to government
ownership of railroads, but said that
regulation of interstate transportation
is essential to protect the people from
unjust determinations. AS a means
of railroad supervision the governor
suggested an administrative board. He
declared that the Sherman antitrust
act should be clarified and be made
more explicit; that the law may be
made stronger and more effective
by being made more definite.
II am not in favor of punishment In
the shape of fines upon corporations
except for minor offenses. The bur
den of fines imposed on such corpora
tions is either transferred to the pub
lie or is borne by the stockholders"
declared Governor Hughes.

CHINESE CELEBRATE
WITH RICH FEASTS
DEBTS PAID AND FRIENDS WEI.
COINED IN CHINATOWN
New Year Is ushered in with Tom
Tom Greeting and All Differ
ences Are Laid
Aside

At midnight last night the Chimes,
new year began, and the celebration
Whlch Was inaugurated by the differen
chinese clubs and commercial bodies ir
the local Chinatown will continue fol
four days.
1t is usual for the big celebration tc
pc ushened in with the explosion OF
pale after bale of shooting crackers. the
beating of tom toms, the playing OF
chinese orchestras and smiling greet
1ngs of Ng hal fat tsoi' and "Hoi
mum tai kai''-"A prosperous new year
TO YOU and May good luck attend
YOU"
Last night these ceremonials were
curtailed only by the omission of the
f'recraekers the police having ordered
that there be no explosion of fireworks
in Chinatown except between the hours
of 1 o'clock and o'clock D. m.
Last night was devoted exclusively
by the celebrants to people of their own
race. The white man and visitors were
not welcomed, as on the first day of the
new year the Chinese winds up his ac-
counts for the year.
Last nigh all debts in Chinatown
were paid, or those so unfortunate as
not to be able to do so We're forgiven
the amounts they owed and those who
wilfully neglected to do so "lost their
face" as the Chinese expression is, and
never agar will such be given credit
by a member OF his race.
There wert but few of the former
class and none of the latter in all Chi
natown last night, 1t is said, and the
year started off auspiciously.
Visitors Welcome
Today and the following days of the
celebration the public will be welcomed
to Chinatown. In every house will be
eound a happy greeting, and the visit
or VIII be welcomed with politeness
and cordiality and will be treated like
a prince. Gifts of sweetmeats, cigars.
nuts, cakes and wine will be offered,
and the Chinese will be seen at their
happiest and best, arrayed in all the
glory of their silks and satins, and the
rooms will be gorgeously decorated and
punk sticks will be burning every
where, making the air heavy with
sweet incense.
In every joss house and tong head
quarters the gods and idols of the race
will be appeased with gifts of the rich
est kind, and offerings will be made for
special blessings during the coming
year.
AS long as visitors to Chinatown be-
have themselves they will be treated
Ike honored guests in the house of
their friends, but if there is any breach
of hospitality the police, of whom there
will be en- extra force OH duty, will see
that the guilty one does not intrude
again.
All of the buildings and stores and
club headquarters were gorgeously dec =,
GRATED last night, and in many of the
homes Of the Chinese merchants the
scheme of decoration was carried out
with d lavishness and disregard for ex-
pense that was astonishing.

By Associated Fress-
SYRACUSE, N. Y, Jan. 21-Chan-
cellor James r. Day of Syracuse uni
versity, discussing President Roosevelt,
said:
''Of tho presidents message, If 1 am
entirely honest and frank, 1 am COM
PEELED to say that much of it reads like
the rawlings Of a disordered mind, and
other portions, in which appeal is made
to class prejudice and excitement, are
large with the suggestion of the adrolt
and cunning, the shrewd but reckless
demagogue.
THE whole message is his familiar
ranting against what he calls criminal
wealth. and it proceeds under the
slanderous assumption that so great a
per cent of the corporate business Of
this country is SO corrupt as to demand
special messages to congress, popular
harangues by the president and the en-
tire time, ability and effort of congress
in a volume of corrective legislation
such as the world has never seen.
1T is wrong, a great wickedness, for
the Standard Oil company to defend
itself, but there is no improperly in
the presidents assailing this corpora
tion by name and defaming it and
slandering It with all the envenomed
influence of his great Office, while It's
cause is stin undecided in the higher
courts. The square deal has long been
a farce, and this inconsistency seems
to have escaped Mr.. Roosevelt's ethical
standard, OF which he makes so much.
LAS I am one of those hired book
writer's referred to, personal word
may be permitted. Not a nickel or
dime was ever offered 10 me. by any
person, company or corporation for
sentence or a paragraph in print in
any shape or form whatever. No such
party knew a syllable contained in my
book until it was published.
II was warned that If I wrote my
reputation would be assailed by the
president and every unworthy motive
would be charged against me. I have
been accused of personal pique and re-
venge. am now charged with SELL
ing my character and bartering my
reputation for pay to a cause that
know to be corrupt. When one learns
the high source of such slander can
one imagine a much lower descent of
vituperation or a more astounding use
OF tho prerogatives of the highest office
and influence of our land?
These are strange times, when
American citizens are to be assalled
under cover of a message TO congress
for exercising their inallentable right
of discussion of the policies and the
acts of the administration of the coun-
try. III TINS liberty IS TO be taken from
the people, what is there left of the
democracy of which we boast?
What better are we than Russia
When a president of the United States
will descend to such indecent slander
and other assaults by innuendo upon
the honor Of his fellow citizens whose
regulations for honor and high moral
ideals are as firmly established as his
own. we are left to one of eseveral
possible inferences. We will try to
take the one that is most charitable"
