JACOBSON FOR FEDERAL, JOB
Rumor Comes from Washington
that He will be Named Col
lector of Customs.
Julius Block Talked of in Connec.
ton with Fred Won Bonn
bach's Place.

The following political gossip comes
to the St. Paul Dispatch from its
Washington correspondents, Fred A..
Johnson:
From casual remarks made by Min
nesota visitors who have been in the
East this month, it is to be inferred
that Jacob F. jacobson, late republi-
can candidate for governor, will be
considered when the new federal adj
ministration assumes the reigns after
March 4.
Whether or not Mr.. Jacobson is
looking for any appointment, it is the
talk that he will be rendered one. In
this connection the Office Of collector
of customs, now held by John Peter
son, is mentioned as being a position
which Mr.. Jacobson would fill most
satisfactorily, having had many years
of practical experience in holding re-
sponsible places.
Mr.. Peterson will retire at the expi-
ration of his term next spring after a
service of twelve years, during which
period he has given general satisfac-
ton to the treasury department., and
to the public.
The same can be said of Hon. Fred
Won Bombach, efficient collector OF
United States interval revenue, who
will also retire after serving three
terms, of four years each.
It is not known, OF course, who will
succeed to this important federal posi-
ton. But political gossip is always
going some in Washington and there
is a rumor that Hon. Julius Block,
former state treasurer of Minnesota
could land the collectorship if he went
after it. But so far as can be learned
Mr.. Block is engaged in profitable
business elsewhere and may have quit
politics entirely.
The impression, however, seems to
prevail that the two relationships
that of customs and internal revenue
will go to the country districts and
that the United States marshal will be
taken from the cities. Deputy United
States Marshal Steve Picha, of St.
Paul, is being talked of some as a
proper man to be promoted to the
head of that department in Minnesota.
It is said of Picha that he holds the
record for quick and prompt returns
on all legal processes which he has to
handle.
It is expected, of course, that Mar:
shall Grimshaw, of Minneapolis, will
not voluntarily relinquish the Office,
but if the precedent is established OF
federal officers retiring after three
full terms the marshal may take the
same v lew. as Collectors Peterson and
Won Bombach.

eff Japan be suffered now to get
control of China, Europe will suffer.
The emperor is keeping friends with
the Mohammedan world. He is even
suppl ing them with rifles, because
they are devils in the fight, and stand
there between the east and the west,
where they can break the first force OF
an attack.
Emperor William said he believed
that America would be forced to fight
Japan within ten years. He seemed
eager to talk, and poured a steady
stream of criticisms upon England for
two hours.

FIRE DOES SMALL DAMAGE.
Started From Leak in Gas Pipe and a
Lighted Match.

The fire department was called out
by still alarm at s;l5 O'Clock Saturday
evening for fire in a house on Camp
street owned by Il. P. ODDS and occupied
by Andrew Knapp. But little damage
was done and the blaze had been ex.
tinguished by the time the iircmen ar
rived. The fire caught under peculiar
circumstances Mr.. Knapp had detected
the ohor Of gas in the house and 90
ing down cellar and investigating with
a light match found that gas was es.
Gaping from the pipe near the meter.
To stop the leak temporarily he wound
cloth around the pipe and then went
up stairs. About an hour later he saw
smoke coming up through the floor
from the cellar and he found large
flame streaming out from the leak in
the pipe which ne previously covered up
with a cloth and the floor had caught
hre above the meter. A pail of water
put out the fire in the floor and the
burning gas was stopped by turning the
'hut of in the cellar wall NIT is thought |
that the gas must have become ignited |
rom the match with which Mr.. Knapp
irst discovered the leak.
