' AGAINST A JEWELRY STORE T h e y Ask t h e Mayor a n d City Coun cil to I n v e s t i g a t e the Place. - " Finally wearied of carrying their troubles to the police, the down town business men have appealed to the mayor direct and the council to take a hand in the regeneration of their section. Satur day the city cleark received a pettion 'signed by thirteen firms dioing business on Nicollet, be tween Washington avenue and Sec ond street, addressed to both the mayor and the city council, asking them to in vestigate the business methods of an al leged fake jewelry house in that locality. The petition declares that the establish ment is "engaged in inducing unsuspect ing persons to buy shoddy goods at big prices, and to bid on good goods which, in being delivered, are skilfully changed for poor ones." It is further recited that if the bidders make any protest they are forcibly eject ed and threatened with arrest*. The pe tition adds: "With a gang of thieves to witness against them and no one for them, they are helpless as to redress." A. D. Lunberg, in another petition put before the city council Friday night, declares that the city is full of runners, cappers and solicitors who ply their trade right under the noses of the police, openly vio lating the ordinances. He recites the case of a person, whom he describes as a former inmate of the St. Paul jail and workhouse, who stands at First avenue S and First street from 7 a. m. until dark and entices strangers into a fake store near by. The attention of the chief of police has been called to his operations, the petitioner says, and the captain of the central precinct also knows about him. He declares that he knows personally of men who have been swindled at this place and that they have appealed to the chief of polioe in vain for redress. This peti tion was referred, to the police committee. The other will be presented to the city council at the next meeting. QUARTER IS ENLARGED FOR THE GREAT ELKS' CARNIVAL, Additonal Attractions H a r e Been Se- curedSome of t h e Lending Feature*. More space will be demanded for the Elks* fair and carnival to be held in Min neapolis, June 2 to 14, inclusive, than was first believed. It has been found neces sary to enlarge the carnival quarter by the addition of several streets and blocks. Arrangements have accordingly been made to change the confines of the big show BO as to include it within the fol lowing bounds: Sixth street from Hennepin to First ave nue N, First avenue N from Sixth street to Seventh street, feventn stt'et fiom First avenue N to Third avenue N, Third a\enue N from Seventh street to Ti-i.th street N, Holdeu avenue from Seventh street to Tenth street K, Ninth street from Seventh stsjet to Western avenue. AVhen it is remembered that the con tract recently closed by the Minneapolis lodge of Elks with the George Jabour Circus, Cart-ival and Menagerie company, calls for fifteen distinct shows, the ne cessity for greatly increased area read ily becomes apparent. Among these star attractions will be the congress of all nations, the beautiful Orient, dog and pony show, German village, projectoscope, monkey balloon ascension, aerialists, star of Egypt (ten Arabs), Mexican village, Moorish palace, flying lady, high dive,' high wire walker, and wild animal show. Mr. Jabour is also negotiating for many other high grade attractions. It will require several streets, also, to accommodate the industrial department of the fair. Several thoroughfares will be devoted to the displays and demodstra tioms of Minneapolis and northwestern merchants and manufacturers whose booths will line the streets on either side. A. M. Shuey, chairman of the commit tee on special features, also has several trump cards up Ws sleeve. One of the grand features of the car nival at night will be an elaborate scheme of illumination. F1SK JUBILEE SINGERS To Sing at P l y m o u t h C o n g r e g a t i o n a l Church Monday E v e n i n g . The Fisk Jubilee Singers are to appear in Plymouth church at 8 o'clock this evening. This company of singers is working for Fisk university of Nashville, Tenn., under the authority and direction of the trustees and faculty. The pro ceeds are used altogether in the interests of the university. The program of the concert is made up of folk-songs of the colored. Most of them originated in the days of slavery, but some of the best were produced under the inspiration of freedom. They have a sweetness and a charm, a weirdmess and a pathos that have never been excelled. ^ The mission of the singers is patriotic, phllanthropio and Christian. Eight mil lions of colored oitlzens in the United States need education and Fisk university was established to give them encourage ment. W. D. Park of Gloversville, N. Y., in a comparison of the present company of singers with the original company, says: The voices of all the singers are remark ably rich, and their harmony is so perfect that their combined voices seem to make one rich and powerful note at a time. I heard the crlgiral Fisk Jubilee Singers of 1S74. Toeii voices were rich and powerful, but the piesent singers far surpass their predecessoro in haimony and in general extent and rich ness of musical cultur?. 1 congratulate Fis university upon the possession of such o baud of singers. BEAR THIS FACT In Mind That small plants in steam or hot water heating for four, five, six and eight room houses and cottages are a specialty with W. F. Porter & Co., 521 2d avenue S. They put in just as good and effective systems as those for large buildings, and the price is in accordance with the size, but always lower than any one else, the excellence of work and effectiveness con sidered. All work that these gentlemen do is done on practical plans. They have no guess work. The plants they put in will thoroughly heat the four-room house the same as the big systems will heat a hotel or manufactory. Call on them and let them explain. T he New Cnnard Liners. The Cunard Line has been identified more closely than all others with the history of the transatlantic passage. Its two famous liners, the "Etruria" and the "Umbria," built in 1888, are still the largest single-screw vessels in the world. This line now propose to put on two new vessels which shall be larger than any heretofore built and which shall have a speed of at least 25 knots per hour. The best speed at present is 20 knots. Like the Cunard Line, "Golden Grain Belt" beer stands pre-eminent In its class. For purity, healthfulness and delicacy of flavor it has no equal. An honest brew for honest men is the reputation the brewers of this beer aspire to, and you can judge best of their success by trying their beer. If out, telephone 48G Main and set a case to-day. THUGS WAX BOLDEB One Impersonates a Police Officer in Working His Game. JNO. HUMBERGH LEFT PENNILESS He W a s Lured Into F i s h Alley a nd Choked Almost Into I n - senslbllty. John Humbergh, of Spring Park, Min netonka, was robbed in notorious Fish alley Friday night. He was decoyed into the dark byway by two men who pretend ed to be his friends They choked him and took his watch and $30. This was the second holdup reported to the police thiB morning. Humbergh met the two strangers on Washington avenue near First avenue S, shortly after 7 o'clock. One was well ap pearing and well dressed. The other was evidently a lumberjack. He asked if the ' would tell him where a certain hotel was located. "I'm an officer." said the well dressed man, "and I'll bo glad to take you to the hotel. You might walk along with us," he added turning to his pal. Together the three men walked down Washington avenue. At Seventh avenue S the three turned out of Washington. "Right down thiB way," said the "'offi- cer," and he led the way into fhe dark alley that has figured so prominently in crime for many years. They had gone but a few stens down the alley when the lumberjack turned quickly, clapped his hand over Humbersh's mouth so that he could not cry out, and with the other arm choked hira almost into insensibility. The "officer" threw back the victim's coat and grabbing his vest at the side ripped it open. The victim was then "frisked" and the thugs ran away. Humbergh has been in the United States only a few months. The robbery leaves him penniless. O. N. Gardner, who is well advanced in years, reported to the police this morn ing that he was held up and robbed at Third avenue S and Third street last night shortly before midnight. He had started to his home, at 322 Eighth street S, .when he was met by a lone highway man who thrust a revolver into his face. He was forced to give the robber $18 in cash, and his watch and chain. No arrests. WAS SQUEEZED TO DEATH WATCHMAN OF THE RYAN ANNEX J o h n D o n a i an Caught liy D e s c e n d i n g E l e v a t o r a nd P r o b a b ly S l o w l y Crushed. John Donavan, night fireman and watch man of the Ryan annex, St. Paul, met with a terrible end between 5:30 and 6:30 Saturday morning. He was caught in the space between the elevutor and the sixth floor and was slowly squeezed to death. He was discovered dead at 7:05 by Carl J. Fristedt, the elevator man. The first intimation that something was wrong in the building was when at 6 10 this morning Donavan failed to turn in his watchman's box at the A. D. T. Donavan started the elevator, which is a slow one, and, after getting in, reached his hand out for his lantern. Te must have miscalculated the speed of the ele vator, and before he could withdraw' his hand with the lantern he was caught by the elevator and slowly crushed between the floor and the top of the cage. When he was discovered the lantern was lying, on its side on the floor. He had a pipe in his mouth. The effects of the terrible crushing ef fect could easily be seen when the body was viewed by the coroner this morning. The heavy caging made of steel and brass was bent and twisted. The safety clutch was set by the blocking of the space by the body. Donavan may have lain sev eral minutes, perhaps an hour, slowly strangling to death, or he may have been instantly killed by the snapping of hi3 spinal cord. When found the elevator was about two feet from the floor below and Donavan was hanging with the stomach and the email of the back be tween the floor and the top of the cag ing, h's feet four feet above the fifth floor. Coroner Miller ordered the city engineer's department to investigate the state of the elevator. An expert elevator man said that the accident could have happened only as described. He found that the stepping of the elevator had snapped the cables and had twisted them and broken the drum in the basement. The body was removed to the morgue for an autopsy. Donavan had lived in St. Paul for many years and was 38 years of age. He was a member of the A. O. H. UPSET TRADITIONS H. C. A k e l e y Disturbed Mills Hotel W a i t e r W i t h a H e a v y Tip. H. C. Akeley created a sensation in the dining-room of the Mills hotel while in New York Mt recently. Mr. Akeley has recently given $10,000 to the workingmen'a hotel fund in Minneapolis, and takes a great interest in similar enterprises else where. In company with a New York friend Mr. Akeley made a thorough in spection of the great Mills hotel. When they had finished they went into the spa cious dining room with a good appetite. It was a workingman's dinner and his fel low diners were all sons of toil, but Mr. Akeley enjoyed it hugely, and was pleased with the attention given by the waiter. So when he rose to go lie handed the young man half a dollar. Tips are un known there, and such a princely donation fairly upset the waiter, who thought he was either dealing with a crazy man or a joker. The head waiter reassured him, however, for he knew who the big lumber man waa. NOT IN THEIR LINE Shipment of W o m a n s ' Hair to a P r o - duce F i r m . - H. H. Edwards & Co., commission mer chants of produce and fruits, have re ceived perhaps the strangest "shipment" ever received by a firm in their line. It is nothing more than a package containing about two pounds of woman's hair. It is of a beautiful chestnut brown and came from North Dakota. What the idea of the shipper was in sending it to a commis sion-house is best known to the shipper. Much fun has been made over the receipt of the .strange package at the offlce of the above firm. WORTH TRYING AGAIN. Stray Stories. The impecunious author passed over the manuscript with a faltering hand. The aged but truthful editor started.

"II blieve I ead of it," stammered the impecunious author, slipping his hands into his pockets. A faraway look came into the face of the aged but truth ful editor. "I was merely throwing out the sug gestion," he said softly. MEAN MAN. Smart Set. Mrs. ScrappingtonIf somebody should threaten to abduct me and hold me for a ransom, what would you do?

K e n k e l B e Or,. dered to F a y H i m 9 8 0 , 0 0 0 D a m a g e s . The sequel to the unfortunate automo bile mail service contract in Minneapolis was made manifest this afternoon in a complaint filed by Lane & Nantz, attor neys. John Fallia Linton, who has been manufacturing automobiles In this city, has commenced a damage suit against his former partner, Herman H. Kenkel. It appears from the complaint that Linton was doing business under the name of the Republic Motor Vehicle company and that Kenkel conceived the idea of in corporating the firm under that name Feb. 1, 1901. Afterwards Linton entered into negotiations with the United States gov ernment preparatory to making a con tract for carrying mails in Minneapolis. These negotiations culminated in the making of a contract for eighteen months for which the government agreed to pay the vehicle company $17,312.65 annually. It also appears from the complaint that before all the vehicles wero ready for operation Mr. Kenkel refused to comply with the terms of the contract which Liv ton alleges he made in this, that he failed to furnish the necessary funds to finish the work on four of the vehicles. Linton alleges this was done for the purpose of decreasing the value of his, Linton's stock in the company. The complaint also alleges that Kenkel went to Washington in an endeavor to have the postmaster general rescind the contract which that official refused to do. Linton alleges that Kenkel, in order to affect the business of the company, made an application for the "appointment of a receiver which application Linton resist ed and Kenkel was forced to abandon the receivership idea. He alleges further that while he was absent from the city, Kenkel, without any authority, made and executed an as signment of the company's property for the benefit of its creditors, all of which Linton asserts was done for the purpose of making his stockone-half of all the stock issuedvalueless. He therefore asks the court to award him $30,000 dam ages. PLEAS ARE HEARD Results of R e c e n t Grand J u r y W o r k B e c o m e Apparent. Judge Simpson presided over the first arraignments for the April term, this morning. First was Edward Ewing, charged with forging a check for $16, using the name of the Nelson-Tuthill Lumber company.

Young, charged with stealing the pens and disposing of them to Schaffer, was in court, but no indictment has been found against him. He was directed to appear again on May 7. Young may escape prosecution entirely. He was a witness before the grand Jury, which makes him indictment-proof. Frederick C. Pratt, bookkeeper for J. M. Davis, was arraigned on two counts for the embezzlement of $5,300. After his plea of not guilty was received, his bail was fixed at $0t) and the trial set for April 30.

LET T H E R E BE LIGHT The Normandie F e n c e Case Settled Out of Court. The dove of harmony and peace floats over the Normandie flats. The owner, Mrs. Jacob Tourtelotte, agrees to dismiss the action which was to have come ,to trial May 22, and C. W. Lang, the owner of the lot adjoining in the rear, who lost fall put up the famous line fence, has agreed to remove it, and is already doing so. The fence matter created a great deal of amusement among passers-by at Four teenth and Nicollet, and among the occu pants of the lower flat at the time. Owing to some disagreement, the owner of the lot erected a tight board fence reaching to the second story windows and extending the length of the court, effect ually shutting oft passage to the street. A city ordinance prevented the reten tion of the obstruction as a fence, so it was transformed into a parody on a shed with the conventional rent sign. This spring action was brought in the district court to have the shed removed. The agreement is as satisfactory to all con cerned.

An army of Minneapolis Isaak Waltons have been getting their fishing tackle in shape the past week in preparation for the opening of the trout season April 15. Some alarm is felt here over the law recently enacted by the Wisconsin legis ture requiring visiting sportsmen from other states to take out $25 licenses. It is claimed that this will head off many anglers for Wisconsin. Other Minneap olltans who have tramped every foot of the Kinnikinick winked the other eye in a significant way when this subject was broached. "What do we care about the Wisconsin law?" asked one of them. "We all have our friends in the other state, and we guess they'll take care of us." Among those who will hie them to the shady streams Monday are Dr. O. E. Sutherland, W. D. Butterfleld, Frank Campbell, H. S. Grover, S. Vr Morris, A. G. Duhme, W. G. Leonard. Most of them will go to the Kinnikinick, some to Bar ron, Wis., and others to Glenwood, Minn. RAY JONES' CANDJDACY A Mass Meeting Next T u e s d a y in His Interests. J. W. Nash, chairman, and H. C.

POLICE TIP NO GOOD Gladys W i l s o n F i n e d , Despite x F r i e n d s W h o W e a r Stars. Attempts of the police to save Gladys Wilson the penalty of the usual monthly fine exacted from women of her class were thwarted by Judge Holt in the municipal court this morning. A lumberman re ported to the police that he had been robbed of a considerable sum of money recently in the house in the rear of 215 Second street S. Owing to the inability of the police to fasten the robbery charge upon her, she was brought into court charged with keeping a house of ill fame. The woman attempted to explain to the court that she had really been arrested on another charge. The court refused to take the other charge into considera tion. As she pleaded guilty to the charge on which he was arraigned, she was fined $100 or ninetv days. When the regular "fine" day arrived, Gladys Wilson failed to appear in court. A friendly policeman had given her a "tip" that having already paid a fine, she need not appear again within a month. Judge Holt immediately issued a bench warrant on which she was brought into court this morning and again assessed $100 with the ninety-day alternative. A LITERARY GOVERNOR A R i v e r Story toy Governor Van Sant Is Published. Governor Van Sant has an interesting story of old steamboating days on the Mississippi in the last Philadelphia Satur day Evening Post. The part played by the Mississippi in the making of the west is illustrated by the big loads of supplies carried by the boats in early days. On one occasion a steamer towed enough lumber to load a railroad train two miles long. The supplies for the early seftler and the seed from which the northwest has developed into one of the great grain raising sections of the world were brought in by the river route. Governor Van Sant reasons that the river will regain its old importance as a highway of traffic with the completion of the isthmian canal. Going back io the old water route means low rates and the northwest should favor the building of the big canal.
