When S. T.

The grand entrance will be on Second avenue and will be decorated with two elaborate bronze lamps. Other fittings in the building will correspond. Five passenger elevators will be installed. The structure will have a frontage of 152 feet on Second avenue and a depth of 132 feet on Fourth street. The ma terial in the present buildings on the site has been sold. Construction will be rushed to completion. As a result of experiments conducted by several practical engineers of Min neapolis a device for all kinds of large furnaces has been perfected that promises to make the abatement of the smoke nuisance a comparatively easy matter. A demonstration showing two large boilers equipped with the new device in full operation was given Saturday night in the Glass Block engmeroom under the direction of J. W. Allen, the smoke inspector. The demonstration was attended by nearly a hundred prac tical engineers and firemen and all pro nounced it a success. Not only was the smoke entirely con sumed, but the boilers gave nearly double the power under the intense heat of the new system. Where 300 horse power was obtained under the old arrangement, they can now be crowded close to the 500 mark. One of the Glass Block boilers has been run under this system for a week and dur ing that time 25 per cent less fuel has been used for the amount of power gained. The demonstration was conducted by the health department simply to show that is possible to burn even the grade of soft coal and have no smoke. The arrangement is a practical and simple arrangement of the firebox. Un der the old system theboiler was di-supportedcharges ^T-Iu 1 t1n small particles of carbon ^M 3 a 350 degrees. As it takes abo heat a boiler filled[with smoke the desired results could not be obtained. The gas was cooled and the smoke passed up the chimney nnburned The oxygen under the old system was consumed by passing up thru the burn ing coal and no new supply was fur nished. The new arrangement consists of an arched wall of fire brick between the firebox and the boiler. These bricks can be heated to incandescence and when the smoke strikes the heated sur face, it will not be cooled. Two airchurch tubes run between the boiler and arched wall, and deliver the second supply of oxygen at the rear of the fire box. As the air passes over the hot bricks, it is heated to about 1,000 degrees, and any small particles of carbon that may have traveled as far as the rear of the box are immediately consumed. The problem of the engineers hereto fore was to get the second supply of oxygen. A device was made to do this, but the oxygen was not heated and thethe result was a cooling of the smoke. Under this system the flames never touch the boiler, but the heat after it is generated is brought back and distributed thru the flues of the boiler. Stoking under this system, say the firemen, is much easier than under the old, and a test of the ashes shows that there is a minimum of unconsumed mat ter. Dr. M. Hall, health commissioner, watched the smoke stack for an hour Saturday, while the two boilers were going at full blast. The other boilers which have not been equipped with the device were running at low pressure and only a small amount of smoke was coming out of the chimney. With all the fireboxes rearranged he says there will be no more smoke than when hard coal is used. He has not tried the de vice long enough to pronounce it per fect, but hopes to be able to do so. I has been demonstrated, he says, that coal can be burned without making smoke, and if one fireman can do it with the new system, others can learn to do it. To improve a boiler in this way will not be costly and the work can be done between closing time Saturday and Monday morning. If crucible bricks are used in the arched wall they will last for nearly ten years without re pair. Patent papers have been taken out by the engineers who^perfected the new plan, and no attempt will be made by them to do a general business until the smoke nuisance Minneapolis is abated.

HILL AGAIN ACCUSED SILAS SWALLOW AFTER FORMER MINNEAFOLITAN. Transfer of Dr. Hill, Once Pastor of the Fowler M. E. Church, from Har risburg, Fa., to Brooklyn, Arouses His Old EnemyMinneapolis Friends Say Attack Is Unwarranted. Much ado is being made in Brooklyn, over the Eov. Dr. John Wesley Hill, for merly pastor of the Fowler M. E. church, in Minneapolis, who has been fcalled from Harnsburg, Pa., to the prosperous Jane Street M. E. church in Brooklyn. His old enemy, the Bev. Dr. Silas Swallow, late candidate of the prohibition party for president of the United States, -has published in his paanat per, the Pennsylvania Methodist, a scathing attack on Dr. Hill, and sent it broadcast thru the east. The article teems with such words as "swindle," "fraud." "fake" ana "falsehood." Dr. Swallow accuses Dr. Hill of deup ception in connection with the sale of university lots in Ogden, Utah makes the allegation that advertisers in Min neapolis were deceived on a fake his tory of Methodism that Bishop Fowler was asked by several men in Minneap olis to remove Dr. Hill because of his alleged use of liquor that Dr. Hill was guilty of falsehood concerning his call to a churcn that Dr. Hill refused to re pay some money borrowed from a poor woman in Ogden, Utah that Dr. Hill was one of several men whose language tended to excite a mob to violence on the occasion of McKinley's death that Dr. Hill once traveled thru the west under an assumed name, impersonating a judge. These are reported to be by affidavits and depositions, among them those of George E Dick son, now of Chicago, but formerly of Minneapolis, and J. W. Earl of this city. Mr. Earl said today that he never made any affidavits or charges against Dr. Hill, and as far as he knows Dr. Hill is worthy of all confidence. Minneapolis friends of Dr. Hill de clare that if the charges are no more serious than those which emanate from Minneapolis no one need have any con cern. I is true that there was some friction in the Fowler M. E church, when Dr. Hill was pastor. He was called here from Helena, where he had been stationed a short time after his work in Utah, where he was a bitter opponent of the Mormon power. I is conceded that he built up the Fowler from next to nothing to a pros perous congregation. For the benefit of the church he prepared a "History of Twin City Methodism," which brought in considerable revenue and some trouble, principally from dissatis fied advertisers. Dr. Hill was quite unconventional in manner and speech and made enemies among the conservative in that way. There were many rumors in the air and the congregation decided to investigate, leader in the movement being J. H. Kerrick. The meeting was attended by Bishop Fowler, Dr. Chaffee, then presiding elder, and the whole congre ation and Dr. Hill simply swept the oards of his enemies, say those who were present. J. Kerrick bacame a steadfast friend of Dr. Hill and accompanied James Bradshaw to Beliefont, Pa., in 1902 to attend the Central Pennsyl vania conference as witnesses in behalf of Dr. Hill in a trial precipitated by Dr. Swallow. Friends of Dr. Hill in this city say that there is nothing back of the charges except the personal animosity of Dr. Swallow, who hates the name "republica n" and who was the author of a bitter attack on President McKin ley. While at Fostona, Ohio, Dr. Hill became well acquainted with William McKinley and M. A. Hanna, and in political campaigns rendered them val uable service, which aroused Dr. Swal low. They say further that if Mr. Dickson has made any affidavits, he is inspired simply by personal malice, as he made no showing whatever at the hearing held in the Fowler church.

Frank Bloutt, 18 Eighth street N was arrested last night fifteen minutes after he had smashed a window in the Fuller laundry, 607 Hennepin avenue, and stolen a quantity of clothing. He was found in his room with his hand still bleeding from a cut received from the broken glass and the stolen clothing was found concealed in the room. He is thought to have had an accomplice, but refuses to reveal his partner's name. Bloutt is said to have taken advan tage of the passing of a streetcar to smash the window. The noise made by car completely drowned that or the breaking glass. He stepped inside the window and took the clothing. A pe destrian saw him and notified the police. Four detectives, sent from police head quarters, followed Bloutt to his room and arrested him. Bloutt waived examination when ar raigned in police court this morning oh a charge of burglary, and was held to the grand jury in $500 bail EXPECTS A CLASH Helena Man Thinks Sheep and Cattle Men Will Have Trouble.

"J, BRIGHT OUTLOOK FOR BOATOWNERS NAVIGATION ON THE LAKES TO OPEN SOON. Finns Owning Vessels Expect to Re coup Losses of Last SeasonMinne apolis Fleet to Be Among the First Reported ClearedBoats at Buffalo and at Head of the Lakes. Advices received on 'change indicate that navigation on the Great Lakes will open early, and that an enormous amount of tonnage will be ready for the boats when they start. A Duluth man in Minneapolis today says the prospect is highly favorable for a prosperous year, and vesselmen expect to recoup for the losses attend upon the great labor tieup of last season. The Minneapolis fleet, the big Peavey boats, are ready, and will be among the first reported cleared. The Heffelfinger lies at Buffalo and will probably come with coa'l. The Wells and the G. W. Peavey and H. Peavey are at the head of the lakes, and will probably clear with ore, altno there is little do ing yet in charters. A wire from Duluth this morning says that if the present weather holds, the first clearances will be about April 1 or 2, and navigation will be open by April 10 in any case. This will be an unusually early start, for in times past the Duluth-Superior harbor and the Straits of Mackinaw have not been entirely free of ice to May 1. I will not make a new record, however, for in 1902 there was an ex traordinarily early spring and one of the Peavey fleet got out of Two Har bors on March 31. There is much freight to go down the lakes. Anywhere from 30,000,000 to 33,000,000 tons of ore will move and much flour and other tonnage.

Telephones are to take the places of telegraph operators at the Milwaukee road stations at Mjllville, Hammond and Zumbro Falls. Some time ago the business men of these three towns petitioned the state railroad commission to compel the Mil waukee company to re-establish opera tors, saying they could get no infor mation from the local agents as to movements of trains, whether late or on time. The commission has secured a prom ise from the railroad that at each one of these three stations a telephone ser vice will be established with the near est station where an operator is located. This plan is to be tried to see"what satisfaction it gives. I the meantime the case remains open without preju dice to the petitioners if they desire further proceedings. NEEDS OF TEACHERS Prof. W. Webster Participates in Discussion at Ministers' Meeting. Professor W. Webster,principal of the East high school read a paper two weeks ago before the Presbyterian ministers' meeting. The paper was dis cussed this morning, Professor Web ster bein gpresent to elucidate further his subject, "Some Moral Phases of the School Question." The importance of the training of the ethical teachers of the church in sound principles of pscychology and pedagogy was emphasized by Mr. Webster and Dr. D. L. Kiehle, who took the ground that this was not now done to any con siderable extent. Several others, while agreeing with the necessity for this, thought the Sunday schools were about on a part with day schools in respect to this training. The necessity for accurate instruc tions on the evil effects of bad habits was given stress, as exaggeration leads to distrust of the whole teaching. At the meeting of the Baptist minis ters Dr. E. Hammond talked of his evangelistic work maong children and Bev. C. J. Triggerson made a statement of the accepted scientific doctrine of evolution as held today. Dr. George L. Merrill read the first chapter of a biblical introduction for Sunday-school teachers to the Congre gational ministers. At the meeting of the Methodist preachers Dr. S.
