THE PEACE DOYE FLEW TO NORWAY MINNESOTA TOURISTS HEAR FROM MI SS ACKERMAN'S BIRD. The Homer Was Taken to Jerusalem with the Sund ay School Workers' Excursion and Was There Released Bird Has Now Been Captured at North Cape. Minnesota peop le who went to Jerusalem in he early spring1 tend the international conventi on of the Sunday School union, will be glad to learn th at he little white dove which was released in Jerusalem to carry a message to the United States, has been hea rd from. Mrs. E A. Russell of Minneapolis, who was in the party, ieceived the details today. Among the passengers of he Grosser Kurfurst, which sailed in Mar ch with the delegates to he con vention, was Miss Jessie Ackerman, so well known to Minneapolis people as a "W. C. T. U. worker and writer. Miss Ackerman went to Europe as a representative from he Peace society, and was to spe ak in England, Franc e, Germany, Switzerland and other coun tries in an endeavor to rouse interest in international peace. She was pre sent ed with a number of flags to take with her, and just before the steamer sailed a large ca ge was brought on board to her containing a snow-white dove, a carrier pigeon, which was to be freed in Jerusalem. he bird became a great pet with he travelers, who vied with each other in feedi ng it from the bags of grain sent with the ca ge until one of the sailors declared "she was too fat to fly." Miss Ackerman released he dove at he Mosque of Omar in Jerusalem, May 10, and a great crowd of people watched her fly away from he city. A soon as she was out of sight the tarvelers, who had grown so attached to the little creature, began to make inquiries as to her fate, for few really expected that she would reach Amer ica, altho birds have be en sent from France to he United States, and Miss Ackerman on ce sent a carrier with a message from Alask a. True to her homing instinct, he bird flew west, but nothing was hea rd of her until he last of June, when Miss Ackerman received a letter in London from a man near the North Cape, in Norway., "We saw a strange bird," he wrote, "and trapped it and found a scrap of red, white and blue ribbon about her leg and under her wing your address. What do you wish us to do with the bird?" Miss Ackerman wrote to have her sent to Londo n, where the little white messenger will on ce more be among friends after her brave en deavor to find home and carry he message of peace and goodwi ll which was trusted to her. to -at- "Hoff" Makes a Clever Shirt Purchase High Grade Shirts, 50c, $1,$1.35, $1.80.

Additional details of the pending Guaranty building sale came to-light today, when it transpired that Thomas Lowry had entered into a contract for he purcha se of the carworks at West Duluth. he present owner of the p'ant is the Metropolitan Life Insur ance company of New York, which is the prospective purchas er of the Guaranty building. The deal thus ap pears to have some of he features of a trade. The insurance company acquired he carworks several years ago on a mortgage. The property includes in the site of the carworks and the dock frontage arou nd it, about 165 acres. In addition to this, he contract in cludes about 400 lots in the third di vision of West Dulut h, owned also by the insurance company. The plant has a rollingmill with two trains of rolls, a foundry 6a by 400 feet, an erection shop 100 by 600 feet, a black smith shop 75 by 150 feet, and en gines with a capacity of 1,200 horse power, and eleven boilers. In the early nineties he plant was manufacturing railroad cars on a large scale. Mr. Lowry is known to represent some one else in the deal, and does not intend the plant for street railway purposes. Whom he is acting for is not known. There is a belief th at he is representing railroad interests, but this is nothing more than conjecture. The fact that he lots have be en pur-* chased also is held to indicate that the plant is intended for some use which will give value to he lots.

Kennedy, editor of the Western La borer, has sent his resignation as gen eral organizer of he American Feder ation of Labor to President Gompers expects to take an active part in he campaign and does not wish to do anything th at might embarass the ex ecutive council. I a sensational editorial, Kennedy, who has be en for years an ardent supporter of William J. Bryan, earn estly exhor ts labor unionists to help elect Roosevelt. declares th at after "the most undemocratic convention of the century, the masses of the peo ple are confronted with a situation such as they have eiot experienced be- fore." goes on thus: Bryan is not beaten he is only defeated for the present and his truths, tho crushed to earth by the money power, will rise again while there are yet 6,500,000 voters who have not bowed their knee to Baal. Exigency and political policy compel Bryan to remain in a party which we think he must despise in his heart. W cannot follow him in the support of a man who has been a dummy, who has a nomination thru the management of men possessed of all the evil traits of Benedict Arnold, but having none of his virtues. The nation today knows nothing of a Roosevelt policy. He has never attempted -to frame a policy, because the influences that forced him to take up the shameful and un-American legacy of imperialism, colonialism and John Hayism in the in terests of commercialism and trade left him neither time nor opportunity to frame and put in practice a Roosevelt policy. If Roosevelt were elected president he would be president beyond a doubt he has the courage begotten of his convictions and would not bend to the will of influences like McKinley We must trust Roosevelt, whose policy we do not yet know, rather than Parker, the sphinx, with the policy of Dave Hill and the corrupt influences so manifes,t in the democratic convention. As far as the platforms of the repub lican and democratic parties are con cerned they are of no interest or impor tance to organized labor, thanks to D. M. Parry and his industrial associations and citizens' alliances. j The time has come when the unions must take an active part in politics, not as unions or as a third party, but in de fense of their very existence. Organized labor now knows just where it stands and What relations exist between it and those obligated to destroy it. W have now come to the parting of the ways when the office-seeking politician must herd with his class while labor presses onward on its own way toward the goal of its emancipa tion in God's own time. The Western Laborer will support Theodore Koosevelt with all the power it possesses and will do its best to show the Bryan men of 1896 and 1900 a way to rebuke his enemies.^ *A* great globe ornamented with the map of the earth has been carved ain stone to decorate the estate of an eccentric Eng lishman of Swanage.

Carrivau, of Lake County, Must Re- main in PrisonValidity of Min- neapolis Armory Bonds and of Ped- dlers' Ordinance UpheldVander- burgh Loses Injuncti on Suit. A odd situation was presented to he supreme court in the Louis Car rivau murder case, decided today. Carrivau was found guilty of murd er in the first degree in Lake county, but applied to the state board of pardons and got his sentence commuted to life imprisonmen t. His attorney after that took an appeal. The attorney gener al moved to dis miss he appeal on the ground that the petition for clemency was the same as a plea of guilty, and he was in the same position as if he had be en in dicted for second-degree murder and had pleaded guilty. Justice Dougla s, having been attor ey general when the appeal was filed, took no part in the case, and the other four judges were evenly di vided on the point, so he motion was not allowed, and he appeal considered on its merits. The judgment of the low er court was unanimously upheld, and Carrivau stays in the penite n tiary. The syllabus is as follows: State of Minnesota, respondent, vs. Louis Corrivau, appellant: FirstThe defendant was found guilty of murder in the first degree and judg ment was entered adjudging that he be executed. He applied for. received and accepted a commutation of his sentence to life imprisonment, and the board Of pardons issued its warrant to carry the commutation into effect, and he is now serving such life sentence. Thereafter he appealed from the original judgment. Query: Has he waived his right to ap peal? SecondIt was not error in view of the uncontradicted evidence for the trial court to charge the jury that the homoclde was neither excusable nor justifiable and thereby exclude from the consideration of the jury the question of self-defense. ThirdNor was ft error to instruct tho jury that the burden was on the de fendant to establish his claim that he was so intoxicated at the time of the killing that he was incapable of forming any intent. Nor was it error to instruct them that an act committed by a person in a state of voluntary intoxication was not less criminal by reason of such con dition, but, that if the defendant was so drunk at tFe time of the killing as to be incapable of entertaining a premedi tated design to effect the death of the deceased, he could not be convicted of murder in the first degree: that if he was incapable by reason of intoxication of entertaining any design to kill, he could not be convicted of murder in the second degree, and that such a finding would re duce the offense to manslaughter in the first degree. Judgment affirmed. Start, C.J. Armory Bonds Valid. The long-drawn litigation over the Minneapolis armory bonds is ended. The supreme court decided the appeal today, holding the aw valid, so Con troller Rogers will be compelled to sign the bonds and the money will be come available.

Chapter 83 of the Laws of 1903 author izing cities having a population of 50,000 or upwards to issue bonds for the con struction of an armory is not in violation of sections 33, 34 or 86 Of article 4 of the constitution of Minnesota.

The syllabus of the decision is as follow s: State of Minnesota, respondent, vs. Peter Jensen, appellant. An ordinance of the City of Minneapolia which provides that no person shall "ex- ercise the vocation" of a peddler within the city without first paying a yearly li cense fee of $125, construed and held: FirstThe amount of the license fee is not so manifestly unreasonable as to ren der the ordinance void. SecondThe ordinance applies to all' persons who exercise the vocation of* ped dler within the city whether they peddle the products of their own farm or garden or buy their stock from others. ThirdThe evidence is sufficient to sustain the finding of the trial court that the defendant exercised the vocation of peddler contrary to the ordinance. Judgment and order affirmed. Start, C. J. Upholds Smoke Ordinance. St. Paul's smoke ordinance so stren uously resisted by certain corpora tions, is upheld, and the conviction and fine of Knut Haugbro, a fireman, is sustained. The ordinance pro hibiting he emission of dense smoke within he corporate limits of he city, is held to be within the valid exercise of the police power of he municipal ity and the conviction of defendant for violation" thereof is sustained. Vanderburg Injunction Denie d. The court dismissed the appeal of William H. Vandecburgh, hojdi ng that he has no grounds for an injunction to restrain he city, from vacating a sec tion of street for the benefit of the Great Western road. His remedy lies in a civil suit for damages, sa ys the decision. The syllabus: FirstThe City of Minneapolis, by res olution, attempted to vacate certain streets adjacent to plaintiff's property for the benefit of defendant railway company Plaintiff brought this action to restrain and enjoin the company from taking pos session of the vacated streets and to re strain and enjoin the city from enforcing the resolution vacating the same. It is held, for reasons stated in the opinion, that the complaint fails to state facts sufficient to constitute a cause of action. SecondConceding that plaintiff is en titled to damages for the vacation of the streets in question, he has an ade quate remedy at law by -an action to recover the same, and is not entitled to an injunction restraining the city and railway company from carrying out the resolution vacating the streets.
