MANY GET POSITIONS
Five Hundred Men Placed Annually
in Y. M. c. A. WOrk-MostIy in
Physical Department.

There is an excellent opportunity for
the young man who has some ability
in athletics and gymnastics to secure
a good position as physical director
in the various associations about the
country. Each year, over 500 young
men are placed in positions.
The opportunity is enlarged accord
ing to Mr.. Wolf, of the local associa-
ton, on account of the scarcity of
men going into this work. Mr.. Wolf
spoke of this fact in connection with
his difficulty in securing a physical
director for this association recently.
THE city play grounds take many
of our best trained men," said Mr..
Wolf. There is a big demand in that
work also, and an excellent chance
for public service. The large cities
of our country are beginning to realize
the Importance Of the play ground
and physicsI training for the school
children. They are paying good SAL
aries to competent men who can take
charge of a large city play ground
and direct the physical education Of
the boys and girls.
"The colleges and the high schools
of the country" continued Mr. Wolf,
also furnish an opportunity for young
men trained in the Y. M. G. A. train
ing schools. They become coaches or
physical directors with good salaries.
The fact that the graduate OF Y. M.
| G. A. training schools can secure
credit for his work in the medical
schools Of the country, leads many
into the medical profession, This
leaves only a small percentage to take
up association work, making big
demand on the training schools for
physical directors. Mr.. Lansing, the
new physical director had plenty of
chances to go other places but he
decided to come with u.s.

ski, the boy bandit" who shot and
killed Policeman Harry A. Chesmore
Jan. of this year in a Superior street
car, died at the Minnesota state peni-
Tertiary at saltwater. tuberculosis
cut to less than six months the life
sentence imposed by Judge Cant after
the boy had been convicted of murder
in the second degree.
At the time of the crime, Melodrow-
ski was apparently a well boy. After
he was placed in prison, the confine-
ment told on him and tuberculosis de-
veloped. He was 16 years old last
March. His parents are believed to
be In Chicago, but they could not be
located at the time of the trial.
The crime for which Melodrowski
was sentenced has prominent place
in the records OF crime in Duluth. for
Policeman Chesmore was the first Du-
luth officer to be killed in performance
of his duty. After Melodrowsld and
Algot Johnson, his 15-year-old COM
panion, had held up the night clerk in
the Mckay hotel and taken sos from
the cash register, Chesmore caught
them on Garfield avenue early In the
UlOTu1uSt JAN % w ull6 ne was taxing
the boys to the police station in a
street car and when the car was at
Sixth avenue west on Superior street.
Melodrowski fired several shots, three
taking effect on the policeman. Ches-
more died thirty minutes later.
The two boys escaped from the car
and were captured the same night at
an abandoned logging camp back on
the hill. They were indicted on a
charge Of murder in the first degree
and were tried separately at the
January term of court. Melodrowski
was convicted of murder in the sec
ond degree and was given life sem
tence, the only sentence possible under
the conviction. johnson was convict
ed of murder in the third degree and
sentenced to thirty years in the state
penitentiary, that being the limit UNI
der the law.
The two boys were sentenced Jan.
20 and were taken to saltwater few
days later, about a month after the
crime was committed.

MARKET COMMENT OF THE DAY
Eunninn erain Letter.

Chicago, July 2s.-Wheat-The mar
ket opened steady at about last nights
closing prices and has ruled very strong
All day. The northwest markets were
particularly strong and led the general
advances. The trade has finally taken
note Of the reports which have been
coming for over a week regarding
northwestern conditions. Even now
experts, differ very materially in re-
gard to their views about damage, but
the action in today's market certainly
indicates that more credence Is being
given to these reports. Today's adj
vance came rather as a surprise and
the upturn from yesterdays low point
is a marked one. However, If further
of serious damage to the
spring wheat crop should be forth
coming, higher prices will result.

Chicago, July 2S.-It was the gossip
of wheat trade that the Armour in
terest while bullish on wheat are as
bearish on corn and oats and are anx-
ious to keep from advancing to any
extent above the present level until
they can get in their shorts in the
coarse grains. Some Of the sharp OBJ.
servers in the corn pit said they saw
evidence of buying of September Jy
the leading bears through a different
set Of commission houses, the orders
coming through a circuitous route. Pit
traders claimed that liquidation by
weak holdings of September was over
and that the market had had it's
break and unless good rains come in
the next day or two prices will work
higher. Inter-Ocean.
