RUMORS ARE RIPE
Many : Stories of Money Made in
Stocks.
ALL ARE DIFFICULT TO VERIFY
Chas. E. Level* Said to Be in Luck-
Some Heavy Lo««e» In
'•'-.I • - St. Paul.
It is learned indirectly that a well
known Minneapolis man cleaned up |100,
--000 in the stock panic yesterday.This
information came out in the form -.of .a
message received by long distance tele
phone from New York. After the' cra3h
yesterday, the cashier of a local bank
called up a correspondent in New York by
telephone, on a matter entirely foreign to
i the stock market. After completing the
conversation and settling up their busi
ness, the Minneapolis man was about to
ring off, when through natural interest
he mentioned the stock panic. The New
York man said he had heard of a Mlnne
apolitan who had won heavily on the day's
crash. He did not know his name, but
said it was some Minneapolis man now
in New York. This report became cur
rent on the street this morning and an
effort was made to run it down. It is
perhaps a mere coincidence that Charles
E. Lewis is in New York. Mr. Lewis is
known to have been a persistent bear on
Atchison stock, and, in fact, to have told
some intimates that in his opinion a slump
was inevitable. About a week ago Mr.
Lewis quietly dropped out of town and
has been i«i Wall street since. Inquiry at
the office of C. E. Lewis & Co. caused
every employe to close up like a ■ clam.
Nobody knew anything about anything.
No one would talk. The manager said:
"I cannot talk about Mr. Lewis' per
sonal affairs. He is now in New York,
but will be here Tuesday and can speak
for himself.'"
Other stories of heavy winnings are told,
but there were not many such, and they
grow in size as they are repeated. No one
could take advantage of the break yes
terday unless he had an abundance of
money for margins, and even then it was
j difficult to act unless one were on the
spot or in the closest telegraphic touch:
Edwards. Wood & Co. say that no losses
of any size were sustained by their cus-
I tomers. Nearly everyone was warned of
I the impending danger and got out in time.
The manager for I. G. Andrews & Co.
reported the same, and said - there had
been practically no losses made through
their firm.
St. Paul suffered severely r.nd many
speculators in that city lost large amounts.
LUMBER IS HIGHER
.—
I Finishing Is Boosted by Price List
Committee.
INCH AND THICKER ARE UP $1.00
Lower River ' Lumbermen Wanted
an Advance on All
Gradea.
Finishing lumber, both inch and thicker,
has been advanced $1 per 1,000 feet by
the price list committee of the Missis
sippi Valley Lumbermen's association,
which met her last Wednesday. No other
grades are raised, and the present sched
i ule will prevail at least for a month and
| possibly all summer. # •
There has been a general demand by
i the manufacturers on the lower Missis
! sippi for an increase* in rates on all
j grades, but this has been resisted by
lumbermen of Minneapolis and northern^:
i Minnesota. They are enjoying a large
j trade, building operations, are bbooming
| in the cities and the farming districts,
| and the market would doubtless stand an
; increase, but the Minnesota manufactur
! ers are quite content with their present
profits.
The request for an advance has come'
i from the mills farther south. They sold
j freely last year and their stocks are law..
The demand is still brisk and they were
satisfied that the market would stand
another raise. '{'.££■*•■ - - . •; : .
" A compromise' has been effected, the
increase being ordered on finishing lum
! ber. On dimension and rough boards,
: which constitute over two-thirds of the
; saw mill product, there has been no in-
I crease. The advance in finishing lumber
j is not due wholly to the demand from the
| southern members, either. Logs suitable
j for this grade are getting decidedly
! scarce. To obtain any lumber at all it is
I necessary for the lumbermen to* put the
j saw into timber which they would not
| look at a few years ago, and the fine old
j white pine giants of generous girth are
I rare. ;.;..- :■.

night's meeting for the vacation of the
stub ends of the streets running through
its recently acquired property in North
Minneapolis for freight' terminal expan
sion purposes, and another tedious cam
paign is at hand. The company has pur
chased all the land between First street
and the river contained in the blocks
lyfng between Fourteenth and Twentieth
avenues N; and has planned an 'extensive
list of terminal improvements, including
an $80,000 freight depot and a network
of side, tracks. It will ask for. the vaca
tion of the intersecting streets, Four-,

street and the river. Eighteenth avenue
was vacated some years ago for the con
venience of the C. A. Smith Lumber com

wide. They have never been used for

Deputy "* Duluth.
L. D. Marshall was appointed chief in
spector by the railroad and warehouse
commission to-day. E. S. Keishus will
continue in office until Aug. 1, when Mar
shall's appointment takes effect.
Marshall's appointment was predicted In

vator company. While he is a republican
of long standing, he has never been active
in politics. His residence has been at
Crookston, but his headquarters is at
Minneapolis, and he is credited to that
city.
The chief deputy inspectors at Minne
apolis and Duluth were also named to
day. Both are Duluth men.
f. W. Eva will fill the bill at the head
of the lakes. He is now a member of the
board of grain appeals. J. W. Barncard
of Duluth succeeds E. \V. Knatvold at
Minneapolis. These appointments take
effect Aug 1.
Tbe commission was in executive ses
sion to-day on the ore rate case, con
sidering the concessions asked by the
roads.
THE INSTALLMENT PLAN
THIEVES TAKE ADVANTAGE OF IT
They "Move" Frequently and Have
Got Many Hundred Dollars
Worth of Property. -
A gang of furniture thieves has been
operating in Minneapolis during the past
winter and several firms have been
swindled. Among them are the Town
Market, Isaac Segal, 513 Washington ave
nue N, and other smaller dealers. The
method of obtaining the goods has been as
follows:
Several well-dressed women enter a
store and order a large bill of goods,
having them sent to an address in North
east Minneapolis. A small amount is paid
down and the rest contracted for in in
stallments. The women have as an ac
complice the man living at the address
where the goods were to be sent. After
the delivery of the furniture, and before
any of the payments have been met, the
man having possession of the furniture
suddenly moves, taking the goods with
him.
Isaac Segal managed to obtain posses
sion of a large share of his goods and
came out a loser by only a small margin. ■
The Town Market hail several hundreds
of dollars' worth of goods stolen in this
manner. They are now on the track of.
somes of their goods and hope to be able
to replevin a large part of them.
The gang operating here is believed also
to have done business in St. Paul, as a
piano was recently replevlned by a St.
Paul house that had been sold in this
way. • , 'r?jilif-&
No two of the firms victimized,in this
city can furnish the same description of
the women that bought the goods.
IRON ROADS PROTEST
Don't Want to Acknowledge K. R.
< omniiHHiou'M -Authority.
The offer of the railroad and warehouse
commission in the ore rate case does not
suit the iron range ; railroads. ... Attorneys
for the railroad companies were in. secret
session for two hours yesterday with
the commission, and at 12:30 took a re
cess, for lunch. , • ,--<:
Those in conference with the commis
sion yesterday were L. B. Kellogg, gen
eral counsel for the Duluth & Iron Range;
J. B. Cotton, for the Duluth, Missabe &
Northern; M. D. Grover. general counsel
for the Eastern Minnesota, and Ed Win
dom, claim agent for the Duluth & Iron
Range.
The commission in its order, filed Tues
day, said it was willing to grant a rehear
ing under certain conditions. The roads
have maintained all along that the fixing
of rates was a private business trans
action. They refuse to acknowledge the
authority of the commission, or to file
schedules showing the rates at which they
carry ore. The commission says it is will
ing to grant the rehearing if the roads will
file these schedules, also a stipulation ac
knowledging the commission's authority
to inquire and to fix the rates. ■
The roads squeal at this demand. The
attorneys pleaded with the commission
this morning to remove the conditions and
permit a rehearing on the same basis as
the original investigation. They declared
that it was preposterous to ask the rail
roads to sign away all their legal rights
in order to get a hearing. "
The session was strictly executive and
the members of the commission absolutely
refused to discuss what was going on.
RecrnltlnK for the Navy— J. J.
Killin of the United States navy arrived In
the city yesterday ■from Omaha, where he
has been conducting recruiting service. On
Monday morning he will open a recruiting
office in courtroom 7 in the federal building,
First avenue S and Third street. Mr. Killin
will have eight assistants. Young men from
IS to 25 are wanted at $16 a month, and third
class apprentices, 15 to 17, at $9. The office
will recruit for twenty-four ratings up to $60

part of the city. The matter la to come be

lively discussion is anticipated. Business
men are discussing the ; proposition, but as
yet none of the business organizations hps
taken action. Soster & Smith this afternoon

BIG WINNINGS OF LOCAL MEN
One Cleared Ip $11.000 In a Few
Minutes—Some Loieri, bat
More Winner*.
Local railway officials were very much
interested in the erratic career of North
ern Pacific and the wonder is as to what
will happen next. It was thought when
the stock reached the 200 point the ex
treme limit must be near at hand, but as
the tape kept the stock Jumping along
half a hundred points at a time, the crowd
settled down to a realization of the fact
that the war prevailing in Wall street was
one that overshadowed everything ever
known in the history of speculation and
that giants of the world of finance were
engaged in a contest which would utterly
crush any man with an ordinary number
of millions at his command.
Local interest was al! the keener by
reason that J. J. Hill, a Minnesota man,
a product of the northwest, a man whom
many of them knew personally, was con
ceded a leader on one side.
A Wild Humor.
One wild rumor that got into circulation
about the time Northern Pacific stock
struck the 1000 point, was to the effect
that Hill had been caught where he
couldn't get away and had dropped a
heavy loss.
Employes of the Northern Pacific, both
here and in St. Paul, were badly worked
up and between gasps of astonishment
they only found time to wonder for whom
they were working.
Local Man Sell« at 1.000.
One well-known business man sold a
number of shares of Northern Pacific,
which he had held for some time past as
an investment and received the top price
of the market, $1,000 a share.
Crowds Watch Tickers.
The phenomenal advances in* Northern
Pacific stock drew excited crowds to the
brokers' offices, where the tickers threw
out the latest from the seat of war. Aside
from the natural local interest in this
northwestern property, there was evi
dence in the early reports that a wild
time was on in Xew York, that the long
predicted culmination of the bull market
had been reached.
When the stock sold to 200 there were
exclamations of astonishment, but the6e
stopped short and a hush fell over the
crowd, as it watched the stock jump up
by spurts of 50 points, finally striking 1,000
bid, while the rest of the market was
crumbling and breaking everywhere.
Local Speculators Paralyzed.
These wild spurts, fierce reactions and
generally panicky conditions ran through
the stock market and threw a pall over
the local speculative market. The brokers'
offices were crowded with spellbound
watchers, who read the tape and marked
the price changes with intense interest,
but of actual trading there was a limited
amount, except for very heavy individual
trades. Everybody knows that it is now
a big man's game, and the man of ordi
nary caliber, who ventures in, does so at
the greatest risk. But this morning the
small traders were practically out of it.
Brokers would not. risk their all in hand
ling narrow trades, and margin calls were
heavy. A well-known capitalist, a close
follower of the stock market, who has been
holding off of late, decided to go short
this morning, and gave an order to his
broker to sell 1,000 Missouri Pacific. The
broker demanded $60 a share margin. "I
may change my views directly," he said,
"but as I fp«l at the moment, I do not
want to make the trade unless you can
put up $60,000 for protection. The market
is crazy, and no one can foretell what a
moment may briftg forth."
Taken the Bluff.
The trader asked for a blank check and
began to fill it out for 160,000. while the
broker hastened to wire the order. Mis
souri Pacific had closed at 105 yesterday
and was selling at 102. By the time the
order was executed, the price had broken
to 90, and at this figure the stock warf
sold.
Makes $It,OOO.
In a few minutes Missouri Pacific struck
76, the trader gave an order to buy, got
it filled at 79, cleared JII.OOO and quit.
"This is too swift a pace for me," he
said. "One might make an everlasting
fortune in short order, but the strain is
pretty severe."
A number of other heavy trades were
made on the break, but there was little
chance for the small trader.
Railroad Man's Experience.
A well-known railroad man who has
been short of St. Paul, on a range of 176
to 170, came down town this morning
and in addition to his already heavy line
put out close to 3,000 shares, in the neigh
borhood of 165. When the stock struck
138 he gave orders to buy in, and while
he did not get all his orders filled at
the low figure he cleared up handsomely,
making the biggest individual winnings
learned so far.
ThiM Man Lost.
Still another man bought United States
Steel common yesterday at 48, after it
had broken from 52. Later he decided to
get out, fearing a general smash, and
sold at 44^6, losing heavily. The wisdom
of his course was shown when on the
break this morning. United States com
mon sold to 25. Here he decided to take
hold, bought heavily and on the later re
covery to 47 had a profit of over $50,000
in sight, but whether he closed the trade
or is still carrying it is not known.
Locals L ii«l«-r«tood Market.
Of the local crowd it can be said that
they have been right in their views on the
market for some time, and many snug
profits have been cleaned up. When the
turn came it did not catch them. Nearly
every heavy trader here has foreseen the
result; many, in fact, had figured on
heavy reaction long before this, and have
been extremely cautious on the long side
for a week past. ' Whatever may be the
case elsewhere, it may be said with cer
tainty that the long drawn out bull mar
ket has put a great deal of money into
the hands of the Minneapolis crowd, and
what is more to the point, they have .not
lost It again on the break. To this there
are two glaring exceptions.
Two Exception*.
One man took hold of Union Pacific at
133, has carried a good-sized lot putting
up heavily from time to time, and finally
being closed out this morning at a heavy
loss, when the stock struck SO. Another
and even more unfortunate trader sold
Northern Pacific at 117 and has remained
persistently short, firmly believing that
it must weaken, refusing to give weight
to the stories of a corner, and carrying it
along, putting up increased margins
against the advice of his brokers, who
cautioned him to take his loss and quit.
This morning finished him.
When the market struck the very low
point 9 such as 138 for St. Paul, and 25
for Steel there was a ru»h to buy. Brok
ers let up a little in their heavy margin
demands and a flood of buying orders for
mixed lots were, sent In.
Shevlin'M Mis*.
One of the sorest men in Minneapolis
is Thomas H. Shevlin. Minnesota's na
tional republican committeeman. He had
been holding 250 shares of Northern Pa
cifle common for an investment, and when
the bulge began last week he did not
wait for the market to drop off, but closed
out the entire line at 115. He made a
godo profit, but when it went kiting yes
terday and to-day, somehow Shevlin did
not feel satisfied.
Shevlin has great faith in Soo stock.
He has put away 500 shares of the pre
ferred and will hold it for a steady rise.

PLAN TO BOOM HILL
A Swing Through the West for
David B.
O'BRIEN AND ROSING HEAR OF IT
Scheme Emanates From Washington
State, but Ik Backed I>y Tag
tfart of Indianapolis.
For president, David B. Hill, of Xew
York.
This is the meaning of a circular letter
sent out by Secretary Hazzard, of the
democratic state committee of Washing
ton, to prominent democrats of the wes
tern and northwestern states.
Such letters have been sent to the dem
ocratic national committeeman of each
state and to the chairman of eacii state
committee.
The letters do not suggest Hill's candi
dacy in direct terms, but hia nomination
in 1904 depends in large measure on the
way the idea suggested is received by the
committeemen addressed.
Mr. Hazzard announces that David B.
Hill has been secured to make democratic
speeches in Washington for the 1902 cam
paign. He suggests that Mr. Hill might
be secured to deliver a series of speeches
in each state through which he passed.
The idea Is for the committeemen of all
the states along the route to get together
and send a joint invitation to Mr. Hill.
By concerted action a program of dates
could be mapped out, and Mr. Hill's trip
from ocean to ocean would be one grand
triumphal tour, rivalling Harrison, Mc-
Kinley, Cleveland and Bryan in their
palmiest'days of swinging round the
circle.
The intention was to keep the cor
respondence quiet until the sentiment of
all the national committeemen had been
ascertained. If they receive the idea
coldly it will of course be dropped. If
the response is spontaneous and
unanimous, a Hill boom of. mammoth di
mensions will be the result.
Thomas Taggart, Mayor of Indianapolis,
is reported to be one of the prime movers
in the affair.
T. D. O'Brien, national committeeman
for Minnesota, admitted this morning that
he had received a letter from Mr. Haz
zard, but declined to discuss its con
tents. He has not yet replied to it.
An early conference of Minnesota lead
ers will probably be held before Messrs.
O'Brien and Rosing send their reply to
the Washington committee. "
Rosing Admits, Too.
Chairman Rosing of the Minnesota
democratic committee frankly admitted
that he had received a letter from
the chairman of the democratic state
committee of Washington in which the
latter proposes that the various commit
tees of the states of the northwest join
in extending to Mr. Hill an invitation to
speak in their sections during the coming
off year campaign of 1902. It is under
stood | that nothing : appears in the letter
which in any manner refers to Mr. Hill
as a presidential candidate or possibility,
but very little discernment is required
to size up the move in its proper light.
, Chairman Rosing would not intimate
what his course regarding the matter
would be and would not say whether or
not he had returned any reply to the let
ter in question, but it Is understood that
he will wait until the matter can be laid
before the state committee for official
action. ' . v.
This is the course which, it is expected,
will be pursued in every state where the
question is taken up and considered. -

A BUSINESS MAYOR
Red Wing* New Executive Outlines
His Polley.
Special to The Journal.
Red Wing, Minn., May 10.— The new
mayor, John H. Rich, in his address to
the council, pointed out many difficulties
and among other things that only capable
men should fill the city offices and if ap
pointments prove a mistake the mistake
would be corrected, as in any business
concern. "The public," said Mayor Rich,
"rightly expects of us a thorough busi
ness administration. We are chosen
trustees and executors of the municipal
corporation in which every resident and
every property owner is a shareholder.
The management of the city is a business
and should be run on business lines." He
also suggested that the city adopt a new
charter, sayingl the present one had long
since been outgrown.
The official city roster now stands:
Mayor, J. H. Rich; president city coun
cil, M. Kappel; vice president, N. Tuf
vesson; clerk. C. E. Harrison; attorney,
F. M. Wilson; chief of police, James
Daily; engineer, R. W. McKinstry; street
commissioner, George M. Harlow.
The Teutonia," a German newspaper
published her for many years, will be
moved this week to Rochester. —Andre W.
Sandberg, of Minneapolis, has been grant
ed a divorce from Olga Sandberg on the
ground of desertion. They had been
married but twelve days when the wife de
serted.
