LABOR FACTIONS QUARRELING
ABOUT TICKETS.
Charged That Wellington Crowd, Con

Men On the Other SideAnti-Boy
cott Forces Will Meet Tonight to
Plan Fight.
The split in local labor circles ap
ears to widening over the visit to
this week of Samuel
Gompers, president of the American
Federation of Labor.
Matters have been leading up to a
division between the followers or A. E.
Kellington in the flour boycott matter
and his opponents. The breach has been
decidedly widened, it is said, by the fact
that the Kellington men control the
tickets for the great meeting which Mr.
Gompers will address tomorrow night
in the Auditorium.
It is charged openly that Kellington
plans to pack the meeting with his par
tisans. This theory, it is claimed, is
borne out by the fact that John Swift,
John Finley, John O'Donnell and other
prominent labor leaders who have taken
the other aide of the question, have not
been able to get tickets of admission,
and that Harry Dix, president of the
state federation, has not even been
asked to be present.
Mr. Gompers is to make the third
investigation of the flour boycott and
the conditions which attended the dec
laration of the general flourmill strike
of nearly two years ago. Altho the
manufacturers would appear to be vital
ly interested in the calling off of the
bovcott on flour, no movement apparent
ly "has been made by the local millers
interested in presenting the phases of
the boycott question.
Mr. Gompers will meet representatives
uildmg, which! of both sides of the question at the
room 'in the!West hotel. A. E. Kellington and his
movements aie being made in the
Exchange 1
will leave more
lobbies. The telegraph office on the supporters will endeavor to have the
fiist floor will be removed to the boycott sustained and Harry A. Dix,

placed in the recess. The telephone herents of the latter cause will hold a

William M. Regan, president of the
Betailers' association, has received tel
egraphic acceptance from Mr. Gompers
of an invitation to dine with the mem
bers of the organization at 6 p.m. Tues
day night at the Hotel Nicollet. The
merchants wish to pav their respects in
an informal way to the labor leader as
a distinguished American citizen and
guest of the city.
Mr. Gompers will speak in St. Paul
Wednesday night, returning by special
car in time to attend a session of the
Minneapolis Elks. Mr. Regan, who is

DEFENDS SOLDIERS
One of Them Replies to G. U. Morrill's
Criticism.
Fort Snelling residents are indignant
over a roast given Snelling soldiers by
Rev. G. L. Morrill of Minneapolis a
sermon preached May 7, in which he al
luded to the soldiers who visit Minnehaha"
things about them which the people of
the reservation take as a slur on the army
in general.
Exception is taken to the strong lan
guage of the sermon in a statement issued
over the signature of Charles VanBuren,
sergeant major of the Twenty-eighth in
fantry. asserts he has personally seen
intoxicated men at the park, but they
were civilians of a shabby-looking claps.
also says he has noticed intoxicated
women there. Girls, he affirms, who are
at an age which should not permit them
to be there without guardians, run thru
the park to flirt with soldiers or other
men.
Major Van Buren says it is not to be de
nied that soldiers sometimes get drunk.
But the police records fail to show a sol
dier was ever arrested for any cause at
Minnehaha. argues in favor of the
old canteen.

"The Pledgeling" is the name of the
class play to be put on at the Metro
politan theater next Saturday afternoon
and evening, May 27, by the members
of the university class or '05.
So much of the carefully guarded se
cret has become public property. How
much the name tells of the plot it is
impossible to say? but it seems certain
that the story will tell of fraternities,
sororities, initiations and things. Col
lege speculation is rife as to )ust how
much and what will be told, and there
have been several wild guesses as to
whom the jokes will hit.
A copy of the cast, including the
names and parts of the principal per
formers was found by an underclass
man in the university postof fice, and the
information contained therein was rap
idly made public. The list follows:
Vivian Vaughn the adieus with an awful
past Cornelia Holllnsheafl

girl Isabelle Browre

Rehearsals for the play that is to

year's production will be superior in
finish as well as in plot and material to
any of the efforts of former classes.

The sale of tickets at the Metropolitan
Music store for the Norwegian students'
concert at the Auditorium next Thursday
evening commenced this morning, and a
large crowd was in attendance at thtj
opening of the box office at 9 o'clock. By
all appearances the students will be greet
ed by a packed house, and the attendance
from out of town will run into the hun
dreds.
All the way from North and South Da
kota Norsemen will gather in Minneapo
lis to greet the singers from the father
land, and tickets have also been ordered
from Iowa and Wisconsin. Mr. Randall,
who has charge of the business arrange
ments for the concert, has received notice
of a large excursion party coming all the
way from Bryan and Madison, S. D.
The chairman of the arrangement com
mittee for the entertainment of the stu
dents, Professor Wilhelm Pettersen, has
collected a neat sum of money from the
members of the city council and other
officers of the city government, and with
this has been provided an American silk
flag that will be presented to the chorus
at the Auditorium Thursday evening.
This, however, will not be the only star

carry back with them, as yesterday at

HERO OF RING'1
LOSES A BATTLE
'FITZ' S' LAST FIGHT WAS A LE-
GAL ONE.
Fighter-Actor, After Several Rounds
Notable for Their Fast Leg-Work, Is
Cornered and Served With a Sum-
monsHe Compromises and Settles
an Old Bill.
Bob "FitzBimmons, the hero and vic
tor in 363 battles in the ring, fell a
victim to a local legal light last week
in a game of serve and dodge the sum
mons. Some seven years ago when Fitz
was in the citv on one of nis tours he
got into trouble and engaged Thomas
Garrity to assist him out of the diffi
culty. He neglected the formality of
paving for the same, Mr. Garrity says.
The lawyer waited long and gatiently
and when the Fitzsimmons show ap
peared in town last week began to mar
shal his forces. His bill for $125 was
pulled out of a pigeon-hole and dusted
off. He prepared his suit and made
ready to serve summons and complaint
on the pugilist-actor.
There was some difficulty, tho, in
getting next to Fitz, the veteran fight
er appearing fully as shifty in the le-,
gal game as in the ring. Finally on
Friday the box receipts at the theater
were garnisheed, but still Fitz refused
to come to the front. On Saturday he
settled his score at the hotel and with
his family prepared to beat the creditor
out by hiding in the theater.
The gentleman behind the summons
was a sticker and decided to land at all
hazards. He was refused admittance
at the stage door. At the front door he
was allowed to go in by paying for it.
Instead of watching the matinee per
formance he began a systematic search
for the stage door and finally was suc
cessful. His task did not end when he
reached the stage

PICKPOCKETS CONFESS
Two Who Robbed Henry Hageman
Frankly Own Up.
Murt Thornton and Charles Daly,
pickpockets known to the police, were
sentenced to ninety days in the work
house this morning for robbing Henry
Hageman at the Milwaukee station last
Saturday.
Mr. Hageman, who lives at 805 Plym
outh avenue, went to the station to see
his son off and while in the coach the
two men crowded him into a seat and
took $20 from his pocket. They ran
out of the coach before he could call
the police.
Yesterday detectives went to Monte
video on an excursion train and upon
a description furnished by Hageman
arrested the two men. They pleaded
guilty in court today.
BEGIN NEW SUIT
Judge Steele's Clients Want Schraps'
License Revoked.
Klein & Pauntz, thru their attorney,
Judge John H. Steele, today began a
new suit in the district court to secure
fee revocation of the liquor license re
cently granted to the Schraps Catering
company. They allege that the license
was improvidently granted because it
runs to a corporation instead of an in
dividual, as provided in the statute. A
motion for a restraining order to be in
force pending the adjudication of the
case, will be argued before Judge John
Day Smith tomorrow.
The old suit to enjoin the city from
issuing a license to Schraps has been
dropped, as the new one, if successful,
will furnish a quicker remedy. If the
plaintiffs' petition is granted, then a
new application for a license will have
to be made and a fight will be made
upon the granting of it.
ROAD CONTRACTS LET

the county commissioners today. This
is but one batch of contracts out of the
$35,000 worth to be let this spring.
''We are endeavoring to expend the
money we have in the way that will
benefit the most people," said County
Commissioner Andrew E. Smith today.
"We have complaints from all parts of
the county about the roads, but every
year we are making as many permanent
improvements as our appropriation will
permit In time all the county roads
will be macadamized and in the con
dition they should be."

MINISTERS WAITING FOR
NEWS FROM RDLL FIGHT
Methodist ministers of Minneapolis
are waiting to hear the exact facts in
the case about the bullfight at Cornell
university before censuring the presi
dent and the college management if
they were responsible for such an af
fair. Dr. P. A. Cool brought the mat
ter before the ministers today.
"If this affair has been correctly
reported," he said, I regard it as
the most disgraceful thing that ever
marred the annals of an American col
lege, and it should be met with a pro
test that will be heard around the
world." This declaration was ap
plauded and emphatically approved.
Dr. Cool took the ground that while
leniency of judgment of individuals
was a virtue, it did not extend to con
doning their errors or even passing
them over in silence. ""We ought to
have convictions and to express them,"
he said.
Rev. Joseph Hogg thought there was
too much toleration and liberality in
modern life. Rev. Mr. Graves spoke on
A Growing Minister." The discus-s
sion wandered from the subject, and
there was a sharp tilt over the neces
sity for toleration in judgment on fel
low ministers and for discrimination
between a man and his methods.
Rev. Theodore Heysham and Rev. A.
T. Fowler gave reports of the Baptist
anniversary meetings in St. Louis at
the meeting of the Baptist ministers.
At the meeting of the Congrega
tional ministers Rev. J. S. Rood read
a paper on "Wit, Humor and Irony
in the Pulpit," advocating their use

CISARSKY WAS WATCHED

Oscar Erstgaard, trustee of the "es-

Gives His Opinion of Outcome of the
Conference Meet.
New York Sun Special Service.
Chicago, May 22"Chicago's victory in Sat
urday's track meet with Michigin should not
make the maroons favorites for the conference
honors. Team for team, I believe we can de
feat the wolverines any day in the week. In
the conference meet, however, outside teams will
cut in on Chicago more than on Michigan, and
for this reason 1 believe with Coach Fitzpat
rick and the Ann Arbor people that they have
slightly the better chance to take the western
track championship
This was Coach Stagg's conference "done"
given out yesterday after his return from Ann
Arbor with his victorious band of athletes With
the meet, whici he termed "the greatest dual
contest In the l.lttory of western athletics." to
serve as a basis for his Judgment, the maroon
director was not slow to modify the opinions of
Chicago enthusiasts who believe that Chicago
now has a call on the conference meet.
