Consular Department.

WASHINGTON, April 2S.-Amos p.

consul general at Hong Kong aud
Shanghai, in an address at the Ma
tional Missionary Congress today de-
clared Investigation will show that
our state and commerce departments

condemned this function OF the con-
sular department and said there was
room for protest by the Christian
church.
Mr. Wilder declared that the class
Of men sent from the United States to
foreign countries by the government
and by missionary societies has done
much to create feeling OF respect
and admiration for Americans by the
peoples of other nations. particularly
in the Orient. He said:
There has been much to crafty
national pride and to encourage the
church in the affirmative Christian
character Of many OF the men in high
stations sent to foreign countries. They
have typified to the natives OF the
Orient the best things of our American
life and thought. II is difficult for us
careless. democracy-mad Americans to
conceive of the awe and majecty that
to the Oriental mind invests an oilic-
ial."
Mr.. Wilder spoke of consul in Foo

whose quiet life and correct living in

province. and from him they drew

tinued. 1.-THE representatives OF the
United States are, with only an occas-

nifty and right life. In the Orient the
relation between the officials and mis-

SHE LIKES SIBLEY PARK
Declares II to Be An Ideal Spot
For Big Event That Is
Contemplated
From Tuesdays Daily.

From Tuesdays OaIly.
Miss Mary Cutler of Minneapolis,
an expert pageant director, has been
engaged as general director of the
big historical pageant which will be
put on by local people at Sibley park
on July A. AS the pageant has grown
in importance far beyond what was
planned by those who first conceived
the idea, none of the local members
of the committee in charge would as
sumo the work of general director,
as it will require practically all OF
the time, especially during the last
three weeks before the pageant, to
oversee the work of putting on the
different scenes.
The organizations and groups OF
people having separate scenes in
charge will have the responsibility
of putting on their scenes and can
always rely on the ready aid OF the
newly engaged director. With the
talent at their command and the
capable leaders, and the advice OF
Miss Cutler, it is practically certain
that there will be no hitch in the
proceedings, and that the historical
pageant will go down in history as
one of the big things done by the
citizens of Mankato.
Plenty of Funds Assured.
Plenty of funds have been assured
for the working out of the plans, and
the affair will prove one OF the big
gest successes ever held, as every
citizen is enthusiastic and will lend
whatever aid they can.
The executive committee which
was elected to have charge OF the
pageant held a meeting at 1870 yes
terday afternoon with Miss Cutler in
the First National bank. Those pres
ent were w. D. Willard, c. E. But
Ter. Mrs. C. H. Cooper, Mrs. c. j.
Holman, Judge Lorin Cray, Mrs. j. K.
Brandrup, and G. w. Eichsteadt. Mrs.
H. A. Patterson, who is also mem
Der of the committee, was unable TO
attend, as she was out OF town.
Miss Cutler, in company with mem
bers of the committee, visited Slb-
ley park, and expressed herself as de-
lighted with the place. She remarked
that it was the most wonderful set
ting that could possibly be had Tor
the historical pageant. Miss Cutler
is in great demand as pageant d1-
rector, and is at present putting on
pageants at three other places. She
will return to Mankato on May 8,
and that evening will meet with COM
mittees from organizations which are
putting on the different scenes, and
will plan the scenes with them, and
give advice The last three weeks
before the pageant is presented she
will spend in this city, and will de-
vote all her time to assisting the
committee in getting the scenes into
shape for presentation.
During the meeting of the pageant
committee yesterday it was decided tc
offer prize of $40 for the best design
advertising the pageant, which can be
used on bills, stickers, etc.

ASSAULT ON GARAGE
OWNER BY STRANGER
Tom Barker Alleged to Have
Drawn Knife On William
SchWender
from Tuesdays DaIIv.

Two strangers, calling themselves
Tom Barker and Charles De We're,
made trouble late yesterday afternoon
at the Schwender garage. The men
were in the vacant lot by the side OF
the garage with two magnets, testing
the old automobile fixtures that were
lying there fer brass pieces. Each
time they found a piece Of brass they
scratched and marked it. One brass
piece was broken off by one of the
men.
William Schwender noticed what
they were doing and hurried out to
demonstrate with them. Barker, the
taller and evidently the older of the
two, grew quarrelsome. High words
passed between him and Mr.
Schwender. Mr.. Schwender relates
that Barker followed him to the
garage, drew a knife and then at
tempted to attack him with the
shovel Mr.. Schwender tells how he
jumped out of the, way Of the shovel,
which struck a pane of glass in a
back door of the garage, breaking it.
Mr.. Schwender tells that then one of
his men beat Barker over the head
with an old rake.
Others gathered round and the
men retreated towards the railroad
track. Barker was seized. The police
were notified and Officer Bell came
and arrested the two men. Both were
locked up at the station.
Barker declared that he did not
make any attack or do anything with
the shovel, until one of the men had
begun to beat him over the head with
what he called an iron pipe. Then, he
said, he seized the shovel to defend
himself
Officer Bell found knife in the
mans pocket at the time of the ar
rest and took it out. De We're seems
to have made no trouble
Both men said at the station tina
they were single. De We're gave hi:
