'• ■ ■','■' * '
Despondent over bis. recent.. discharge
from the-'Duluth diocese or toe Catholic
church, as indicated by letters found on
his person. Rev. ',' Francis Budzyowski of
Duluth, shot himself twice through the
heart "at the Golden West hotel yesterday,
morning. Death was instantaneous."
He came to the hotel four days ago and
registered as "Rev. James, Minneapolis."
He did not leave the room to which be was
assigned;from*then until his tragic death.
Ho had his meals: served in the room and
complained of having a cold which he
thought might lie a slight attack of the
grip.- He explained to the- hotel attaches
who had occasion'to enter the room that
his ailment was trifling. He occasionally
ordered liquor, but had drank no more
than a man might take for medicinal pur
poses. The b^ll boys who waited on him
said he seemed perfectly rational.
Tried Gait Flrnt.
He asked Wednesday to be called at
6 o'clock. When aroused, yesterday there
was' a strong smell of gas. outside his
room; 'He was told that the gas . was
escaping. 3 He.replied that it was turned
off, and was then heard to open the win
dow. , He asked to have his bill sent up to
his room, explaining that he had no money
with him. He could get all he needed, he
said, by going over on the East Side to his
residence, and suggested that 'he be ac
companied.'; , ■W'fi'" 1-."-.
When two bell boys came up at 11 o'clock
and rapped at the door, the priest called
out:
'•All right, just a minute; I'm dressing."
I think that fellow needs watching,"
said one of the boys;" he acts as though he
might kill himself."
U-.iM.-In in His Heart.
The words had scarcely left his mouth
when a revolver was discharged twice in
the room. Groans followed and the two
frightened boys hurried away for a physi
cian.
When the door was broken in a little
later the jriest was found lying lifeless
on his bed. He had partially dressed him
self, and was in his trousers and under
clothee. Sitting on the edge of the bed,
he had placed the muzzle of the weapon
over his heart and pulled the trigger
twice in rapid succession. Both bullets
entered at the ?ame point, tearing an ugly
hole in his chest, from which the blood
.streamed treely. On a chair by the bed
lay the rich black broadcloth garb or his
calling.
DUchurKcU From UnUilli.
I The coroner found a few letters in his
pockets. Oue was from his superior, it
was written under date of Jan. 4 and read-
Doluth, :'-!>. 1301.—Rev. anU Dear Sir: 1
shall have no farther use far your services
j in this diocese after tbe 27th of this month.
I Your faculties are hereby withdrawn fetter
j that date. Hoping that you will find a suir
| able place in another diocese, 1 am your
| in x-. —James McGolrick.
The priest had no money and hU finan
| cial pUsht may have weighed on his
' mind.
I He was a tall, dark man of pleasing ap
| pearance, rather bald and with a fesv
I days' growth of beard. He was about 40
years of age.
The dead priest has a brother at 2G6
X Hutchins street, Elmira. X. V., to
whom he had addressed a letter. Another
letter was addressed to Anna Gluba an
employe of a restaurant at 113 Xicollet
avenue. Minneapolis.
A telegram from Duluth says that
i Father Budzowski was at one time in
: Barnum. Carleton county, and later went
ito Roseau county. Bishop McGolrick says
jthe letter dismissing him was given be
cause he showed signs of mental aberra
tion and was not attending to his duties.
He was told to look for another place and
went from Roseau to Fargo, X. D.

REVISED PLANS OF THE WISCONSIN CENTRAL RAILROAD TERMINALS.
The west side yards lie between the alley east of First, street N, and the dotted line
next to the Minneapolis & St. Louis tracks. The freight depot stands almost in the mid
dle of the property, with a large platform and crane at the north end. Between the sec
ond story of the freight depot and the edge of the bluff, on the street level, extends the
platform bridge shown in the map by a shaded space.
The improvements on the East Side commence at the intersection of the Great
Northern tracks and Main street on the east river bank. A curved steel bridge extends
to Nifollet island and another steel structure gives access to Boom island. The island
will be enlarged by driving piling and filling in along? the general lines shown dotted on
the map. The idea is to make it a regular and compact body of land There will be no
tracks on the East Side triangular shaped piece of land at present.

More Than Half a Million.
Extensive changes iv the plans for the
terminals of the Wisconsin Central rail
road in .Minneapolis has been
made since the new project was
first announced, about a year ago.
As a number of more or less inaccurate
statements regarding the terminals have
been made and as the matter is one of
very large importance to the commercial
interests of Minneapolis, The Journal
now gives the, first authentic derails of
the terminal plans as finally and ( recent
ly decided upon by the official's' of the
Wisconsin Central railroad.
The property acquired by the Wisconsin
Centra] includes four distinct parcels.
One of these is a strip of ground -of
about 150 feet, average width, extending
from Hennepin avenue to Third avenue
N, and lying between the Miuneapolis &
St. Louis tracks and a line parallel with
and about 150 feet east of First street N.
This line is in part the same as the alley
first east of First street. With the ex
ception of the Hennepin avenue frontage
it is unoccupied by buildings, and the
structures on Hennepin are old and of
little value; their destruction will be a
good thing for the locality.
The Freight Depot.
This ground is in a general way level
with First and Hennepin and will be cut
down to the level of the Minneapolis &
St. Louis tracks about twenty feet be
low. Almost in the center of the space
thus secured will be erected- a modern
two-story brick freight house 40 by about
360 feet in size. This will bo a novelty
in Minneapolis. The lower floor will be
level with the oar floors. Incoming
freight will be taken from the cars,
trucked directly upon elevators and de
livered quickly on the second floor, which
will be the height of a wagon bed above
the grade of First street.
Connecting this second story of the
freight depot with the streets adjacent
will be a long platform or bridge, similar
to that which now covers the tracks
which pass between the Union passenger
station and High street. This platform
will be reached from both First avenue
N and Second avenue X, thus giving per
fect access at grade. With the exception
of the Milwaukee, the Wisconsin Central
will be the only road having a freight
depot so situated that teams need not
haul their loads up grade to get into
the central part of town.
The elevators which will save the horses
this work will be three in number with a
capacity of five tons, or 10,000 pounds
each, and will be operated by electricity.
They are the first elevators to be used
ii* a Minneapolis freight depot.
Outgoing freight will be received on the
lower floor of the depot, aud to enable
teams to reach the lower level a drive
way will descend, north of the platform,
by an easy 4-per-cent. grade. Once down
the incline, teams can pass clear down
to Hennepin avenue, and there will be
facilities for loading or unloading direct
ly into the cars, as well as at the freight
house doors. A powerful crane for un
loading heavy goods will stand at the
north end of the depot.
The \nrilM and SliopN.
The other three parcels of land ac-
j quired by the Wisconsin Central are on
the East Side —one along the east shore
of Xicollet island, one on the main land
just below Plymouth avenue bridge, and
the other Boom island (with additions)
connecting the first two.
To reach this property the Wisconsin
Central will build a curved bridge com
mencing at the intersection of the east
river bank and Great Northern tracks
and striking Xicollet island several hun
dred feet up-stream. The tracks will
continue north along the shore of the
island to the nearest point to Boom
island. Here another bridge will be
built. Just west of this railroad bridge
there will be a wagon bridge, and still
another wagon bridge will connect Boom
island with the main land near the Plym
outh avenue bridge. At present there
will be no tracks on the latter piece of
ground.
Boom Island Kxtended.
Boom Island will be enlarged by driving
piling about the edges and filling in. per
mission having, been secured from the gov
ernment for this work. The island will
also be raised, as it is subject to overflow
—at least in some parts. It is understood
I to be the intention to construct a part of
the tracks on trestles at first and fill be
tween them gradually.
The plant on the island will be large
but is planned with the. idea of further
expansion as necessary. In the first place
there will be storage for at least 800 cars—
this means about five miles of tracks
Then there will be switching tracks and
'•team tracks." Here the purpose of the
wagon bridges to the island appears. All
heavy and bulky goods in car lots, like coal
lumber, staves, wood, etc., will "be han
dled at the Boom Island team tracks.
There will be a round house with ca
pacity for ten or twelve engines at first
and arranged for enlargement as neces
sary. There will be shops suitable for re
pairs at an important terminal, a modern
coaling plant and an icehouse of 1 000 tons
capacity. There will also be the yard
master's office and some minor buildings.
The Real Terminals.
The Boonr Island yards will be the
'•eRI terminals of the Wisconsin Central
company. Here all trains will be made
up. Crews will start from here and a
large proportion of the men will make
their homes In this city.
The company hag a ninety-nine-year con
tract with the Great Northern for running
privileges over all its lines between Min
neapolis and St. Paul and in Minneapolis
This gives the Wisconsin Central exactly
equal facilities with the Great Northern,
as it can run its engines wherever a Great
Northern engine has rights.
To reach the west side freight yards and
depot, trains will simply pull out of the
yards and on to the Great Northern tracks
at the junction at Main street NE and the
river; they will then back across the
Great. Northern bridge and westwardly to
about Second street N where, again re
versing, they will pull directly across the
Minneapolis & St. Louis tracks into their
own depot yards. There will also be a
connection with the Minneapolis & St.
Louis at Hennepin avenue.
The Wisconsin Central will deliver cars
to the Milwaukee and Minneapolis Western
on the east side at University switch and
will reach (he Railway Transfer company
and the Minneapolis Eastern on the west
side. Millers and snippers know what
this means and how great a convenience it
will be to the road and its patrons.
Switching charges will be done away with.
No IliK-h Level BrMgei
All the stories to the effect that there
would be a high level bridge direct from
Boom Island to the west side property, are
tjuite without foundation. It was a chi
merical idea. As late as this morning
this atory appeared again.
The W. C. has no property north of
Eighth avenue NE., but it will be easy to
make connection with the Northern Pacific
at that point if desired.
A Possibility.
It was at first intended to build the
freight depot on Hennepin avenue. This
was later decided to be too costly a loca
tion for a freight house, and It was located
between First and Second avenue N. This
leaves the Hennepin avenue frontage open,
and it has been suggested that here is a
chance for a modern building to be erected
aver the tracks. It is an excellent place
for a hotel. The Wisconsin Central peo
ple make no admissions on this score, but
it is known that the freight depot location
was changed for the reason stated—which
certainly implies an intention to make
further use of the admirable site on Hen
uepiu.
AVliut It Meaua.
The improvements to be made by the
Wisconsin Central are of the utmost im
portance to the city. This is not alone
through the fact that an important road
secures independent terminals. That item
is a/notable one; but in addition this move
means that about half a million worth of
idle real estate will be removed from the
market and made useful and productive,
while fully half a million more will be
spent immediately in betterments. It is
estimated ■ roughly that the bridges and
buildings to be erected will cost fully $250,
--000. while the grading and tracks will
make up the remainder. And in addition
will be future improvements—for every
thing is being planned with the idea of
extension as the needs of the business re
quire.
It is expected that the city council will
act at once and lavorably on the petition
for the vacation of the ends of First and
Ittcond avenues N, through the new yards,
Those streets'are laid out on the plat of
the city through to the river, but have not
been used beyond the alley east of north
First street for many years. As there is
absolutely no use for maintaining th*
streets in theory where there is no possi
bility of their ever being wanted iv fact,
there seems no reason why the permission
should not be granted at once.
Adjoining property holders are under
stood to be uruuiimously in favor of the
plan, as it will enhance the value of their
holdings.
Work will be begun as soon as the coun
cil has acted and contracts can be let, and
the road should be using its new terminals
by the end of the summer.
CAMPBELL VS. THE POLICE
HE «ETS THK WORST OF IT
Complain* of a Theft and In Fined
$1O and Again Arrested for •
' • Vagrancy.
On February 28 Ambrose Campbell made
complaint at police headquarters that he
had been robbed of $100 in a resort on Sec
ond street S by an inmate, named Vivian
Thomley. Ambrose Campbell found thai
the confidence that he had reposed in tho
police department, resulted in his arrest
and fine the following morning for being
found in a disreputable resort.
The county attorney's office hearing the
man's story, issued a warrant for the ar
rest of Vivian Thomley on a charge of
grand larceny. This warrant bears date of
March 5, the day it was turned over to the
police department for service. Despite the
frequent protests from the county attor
ney's office this warrant was not served
until March S. The delay, it may be rea
sonable to suppose, was caused by the
numerous councils of the "plain clothes
men." some of whom have apparently
sought to embody unto themselves, the
three governmental functions of legisla
tive, executive and judicial.
However, the manner of service and
proceedings following the novel "arrest"
are deserving of more than passing men
tion.
In this connection reference to the tab of
the municipal court of this morning is
significant. Ambrose Campbell figures as
a vagrant, under arrest and behind the
rail where prisoners, under ordinary cir
cumstances, are to be found. In the au
dience room unhampered by shackles end
unshadowed by the insignia of disgrace,
complacently sits Vivian Thomley bearing
the proud distinction of having "eluded"
] the police department for four days.
Both cases were continued by Judge
Dickinson until the early part of next
week. ■
Blanche Rogers, the proprietress of the
resort where Campbell alleges the theft of
the $100, also appeared in the police court,
and was fined $100 for keeping a disreput
able house.
THE COMMITTEE TO ACT
A SEVERE LICENSE POLICY
The Council Committee on Licenses
. . Meet* and Renolvest to Inves
tigate License Question.
The license committee of the city coun
cil asserted itself this morning. Hitherto
this committee ■' has been largely orna
mental. It hag had but a perfunctory
part In the. direction of affairs connected
with the issuance of saloon licenses, con
tenting itself in the, main with indorsing
the judgment and recommendation of the
license inspector and .appealing to him
for all information.
The new committee proposes to go into
details on its own account.
The license inspector was instructed to
prepare a list of all saloon men together
with a statement showing when each
mans license was granted and when it
expires. He was also instructed to give
every saloonkeeper a month's notice of
the expiration of his license.
In the case of the three-package re
tailers whose licenses expired weeks ago
and have not been renewed, the license
Inspector was instructed to inform them
that they must pay at once. It is prob
able that the committee will insist upon
a change of policy in the matter of trans
fers of licenses. The police department
ha 3 allowed this to be done in the past
although It is illegal.
BREEDING.

The masseur did not reply:
"Oh, yes, for one has often to wait long
before one gets any patients to knead!"
On the contrary he said, simply:
"Well, I should to cackle!"

A GOOD LOAN FIELD
New York Capitalist Prefers Minne-
apolis to Chicago.
EASTERN MONEY IS EASY TO GET
A. J. Dean lit-turn* From X.Y. Where
He round Minneapolis Invest
ments Are Favored.
"Minneapolis offers a more favorable
fn<ld for loans than Chicago, for the reason
that things have been rather overdone in
the latter city," was the observation of a
New York capitalist to Alfred J. Dean, a
member of the firm of Thorpe Brothers,
who returned from an eastern trip yester
day.
"The man who made the remark," said
Mr. Dean, "is president of a large finan
cial concern whose assets are considerably
more than $10,000,000. He told me he was
allowing some of his loans to be paid off
in Chicago, as he wished to use the money
in Minneapolis. Ido not give this as a
representative instance of the feeling
toward Minneapolis, but it reflects the
judgment of a prominent and extremely
conservative man."
Mr. Dean added that financial concerns
now generally regard the west with favor.
One thing that surprised him was the com
ment on an observation recently made by
George D. Dayton, that the country about
Minneapolis is getting ahead of the city,
and that there is plenty of room for the
city to grow on a healthy basis. This
opinion is shared by eastern people.
"There has been a wonderful change in
the feeling toward us," said Mr. Dean.
"It is not so many years ago that I made
occasional trips to New York, and when
financial institutions learned I was from
Minneapolis they were more than half in
clined to show me the door, so many of
their people had been bitten by wildcat
speculations in this territory. But all that
feeli- - has passed away. We are in good
stat / g with the best financial centers,
and un have all the money we want on
proper securities."
ST. PAUL'S GOOD EXAMPLE
WAR OX THE BAXAXA PEEL
Mlnneapolin Has Ordinances Cover
ing; the Fruit Rind ami Spit
ting- \aiaances.
St. Paul has an ordinance prohibiting
spitting or throwing fruit rinds on the
sidewalks, and Health Commissioner Ohage
of that city promises to enforce it to the
letter. As a preliminary he is having
signs prepared, the same to be located in
conspicuous places in the streets, calling
attention to the ordinance. Failure io ob
serve it invites a fine of from $1 to $50.
Minneapolis has ordinances covering
both tho above offenses, but no move has
ever been made to enforce either. The
ordinance prohibiting sidewalk disposition
of fruit peelings was passed by the coun
cil in lSi»4. Violations of the same carry
a fine of not to exceed $50. The spitting
ordinance has been in effect since Decem
ber, 1898. This is a less heinous offense,
the maximum penalty being but $5. It
will probably be news to the public that
the spitting ordinance also declares against
the practice of throwing cigar and cigarette
stumps and discarded quids of chewing to
bacco into the street.
The enforcement of both these ordi
nances is the duty of the police depart
ment, while the department of health is
supposed to look after the spitting nui
sance in the street cars.

About Our Busy People
WHAT THEY ARE DOING AND WHAT THEY SAY
Nearly every afternoon from 4 iv o
o'clock music lovers are entertained at
the store of the Metropolitan Music com
pany, 41 Sixth street S, with Impromptu
concerts on the pianola. I make it a point
to drop in there quite often, for they are
very enjoyable. The pianola is rapidly
growing In popularity, and already you will
find quite a large number of them in the
homes of Minneapolitans. This ingenious
Invention makes it possible for any one to
execute the most difficult compositions
upon a piano, and there is no limit to its
possibilities. A child can play the grand
operas of Wagner and Verdi or the latest
popular rag time airs. Its cost is $250,
and this is the price to all. There are
over 2,000 different rolls from which to
select the music you wish to play, and
these may be purchased or rented at"small
cost. Go into the Metropolitan at any
time and they will be pleased to show you
just what a pianola can be made to do.
