PURDUE BASKETBALL MEN GAN'T GOME SO FAR Because the Purdue university facul ty objects to the members of the Pur due basketball team's making the long trip to Minneapolis it is propable that no game will be placed at the univer sity between Purdue and Minnesota. As a result the schedule of the Western Intercollegiate Basketball association is somewhat in the. air and it is possible that the western intercollegiate cham pionship may not be decided. The news that the Purdue team could not appear in Minneapolis was decided ly disappointing to the members of the university basketball team, who have been training faithfully in* preparation for the hoosiers and who hoped to start the season with a victory. Dis uietin rumors fiom Illinois that the faculty contemplates refusing the basketball team permission to make any trip away from Champaigne are also invading the basketball atmo sphere at the university. Minnesota will be severely handi capped in the race for championship honors if the Purdue and Illinois facul ties persist in their decisions and re fuse to allow their teams to come to Minneapolis for gabies. Such action would mean that Minnesota would only meet the Purdue and Illinois teams in only one game and that would be played on their own floors, a fact that would put the Minnesota team at a dis advantage. PRINTERS STRIKE IN BOSTON. Boston, Feb. 1.A strike was declared today by tne book and job printers against all firms that iiave not acceded to the demands of the typographical union for an eight-hour day. It is estimated that 200 Journeymen quit work. About seventy-five printing firms have entered into an agreement to oppose the demands of the printers. Thursday^fevenina NOS E SWEARS^TO *:IU1DEI SE GI Sj^* 2J^ WITNESSES OF BADEE MURDER ^OAN 'T ipENTIFX.JOHNSONiS Some See a General Resemblance, but Positive,, Legal Identification IsLack- ingPrifoner Will Be in toe Status of a Deserter from Navy charged JHere. Not one of* the if Dis- n* men who witnessed the murder of Charles Q. Bader in his saloon on the night of Dec. 22, is able to identify Carl A. Johnson as one of the murderers. A dozen witnesses were called into the county attorney's office today and shown the accused. None of them could say positively that he was the man. A lew of the witnesses said that he was about the same height and of^the samoJ.jgeneral appearance, but further than that they could not go. The investigation of the Johnson case was continued today with zest by the county attorney, chjfef of police and de tectives.' The alibi "given yesterday'by the accused was disproved many par ticulars, but there was no new convinc ing evidence brought out against him. The officials are working on certain leads and running down certain portions of the man's story and no decision as to whether the case will be submitted to the grand jury will be made before to morrow. Deserted if Beleased. Deserted is the charge which will hang over Johnson, should he be re leased. A damage suit, with the per sons ^who brought nim to Minneapolis as defendants, may further complicate the situation. Whem Johnson "was arrested he was serving as a- coal passer on board the battleship Texas Charleston, S. C. The commander of the Texas allowed him to go upon- the*, theory that he was a murderer. He has now been absent from duty without leave for over ten days, and, if he is acquitted, he is, ac cording to the rules of the navy, a de serter. His new-kit, valued at $45, will be sold and it will be his duty to re join his ship at his own expense, unless the' persons who brought him to 'Min neapolis should see fit to repair the damage done him by paying his fare to Charleston. Lieutenant I. C. Wettengel, in charg# at the local recruiting station, said to day that he did not see how the gov ernment could be called on to pay Johnson's wav back to his ship in case of his release as, technically at least, he is a deserter. It is customary to let deserters maka their way back as best they can, despite tho fact that their offense is aggravated' by every day of absence from duty. Ryan Case Similar. The only similar case which the re cruiting officers call to mind was that of a coal-passer, Ryan, who was taken back to Chicago last March, held for six weeks on a criminal charge and then released. He gave himself up as a deserter and was sent back to his ship with the understanding that his transportation should be stopped out of his pay. Ryan began suit against Cook county for the amount of his transportation and th4 value of his kit, but the suit was never finished, AS Bva% was, kiU&d in,a*"fist fight aboard'the Dixie a-.few weeks after* he"*rejoiried. -The- lirie'of* action^adopted in the yan case seems to appeal to the naval,men here, and should Johnson be released, he may be' compelled to start suit against the private persons who caused his arrest, in order to escape the penalty for desertion. THE BLUNT FUNERAL Services Yesterday, Were t&tteade^'by Relatives and Intimate' Associates." The reading, of ah exceedingly, grace ful tribute in verse, written'by Laurence C. Hodgson, and. the Episcopal service for the dead, conducted by Rev. Irving P. Johnson of Gethsemane church, were the simple ceremonies of the funeral of Abbott Blunt at the residence of .Mrs. Anna C. Flickinger, 10.09 East 'Seventeenth street, yesterday_ after noon. At the close, Mrs. Pearl .Williams sang "Remember Me" with 'touching expressiveness. The attendance was limited to rela tives and intimate friends, the latter including representatives of the Elks' lodge, of which the deceased was a member, and newspaper men with whom he had been associated. Among the latter was Milie Bunnell, publisher of the Duluth News-Tribune, of which Mr. Blunt was the editor. There were many floral tributes, among them pillows of roses marked with the emblematic "30" from the press clubs of Duluth and Minneapolis, and another inscribed "Jn memory of the old Times," which came as the remembrance' from twenty-seven at taches of that paper When Mr. Blunt was its editorial writer. Ths interment was at Lakewood be side the body of his wife, who died in 1899. The pall-bearers were John M. Rees, George Clark and A. J. Mullen from the Elks and John S. McLain and Smith B. Hall from the Press club.t Last night the Elks neld memorial service at the lodge room, at which heartfelt tributes to the memory of. Mr. Blunt were paid. The following tele gram has been received from Colonel W. E. Haskell of the Boston Herald, who was publisher of the Minneapolis' Times when Mr. Blunt was its editor: "The news of Abbott's death is a shock and a surprise that leaves a weight upon my heart.** Few men I have ever- known have had so sweet and lovable a personality. Condolences to all friends." PIANO PRICES ONE SMALLPOX CASE Two cases of smallpox were reported to the health department today, but one of them proved not to be the genuine article, the suspicious eruptions being due to another disease. John Fredrickson, living at 711 Fif teenth avenue N, has the real thing, however, and has been taken .to the quarantine hospital. He does not know whpre he was exposed, but the infection is not from a local* case, as Mr. Fredrickson arrived only a few days ago from North Dakota.

The first ease was that of Fred Hoyle, accused of maintaining a gambling re sort at 28 Sixth street S. The evidence wap submitted and the case continued until afternoon. HarriB Liverman was also tried this morning on a charge of running a gam bling house in the Melbourne hot^l on Hennepin avenue last November. The case was also continued until afternoon. City Prosecutor Al Finney asked that the case against Charles Loomis pi the Travelers '"club at 416 Nicollet avenue be dismissed, and the court minte the request. The only case remaining is thta of Louis Wiley charged with con ducting the Metropole club at 41 Third street S with Carl Blake who has al ready pleaded guilty to that charge. Many Go Free. Forty^Sve of the sixty-three men ar rested in Saturday night's gambling raid were discharged by Judge E. F. Waite in police court yesterday after noo. Lack of evidence won the day for the gamblers. The raid was carefully planned and well carried out, but the of ficers who did the work didn't see enough to secure damning evidence and Judge E. F. Waite was compelled to find the defendants not guilty. Edward Bandall, John Twohey and Harris Liverman were tried yesterday afternoon on charges of conducting a gambling house at 252 First avenue S as joint partners. The only evidence submitted by the police was that when the doors were broken open several card games were going on. The raiders saw no money change hands and tried to se cure the conviction on testimony show ing that professional gamblers were in the place and that the place had the reputation of being a gambling house.

BURGLARS GUT PHONE-4 WIRES AND ROB HOUSE "Watching until the family departed for church and then cutting the tele phones wires, flaring burglars last night ransacked the home of B. F.

Feeling secure after the precautions they had taken, the burglars worked deliberately and consistently. Not a drawer or closet escaped their attention and the entire house was in confusion whon'the family returned. One of the boys of the family was the first to en ter.

DOG SJASHES WINDOW AND GIYES FIRE ALARM While the family was absent thi? morning, the home of William Sladd, Fortieth- streeet and Fortieth avenue S, was totally destroyed by fire at a,-loss of about $2,500. Mr. and Mrs. Sladd had spent the morning downtown and the children were in school. They re turned at noon, without knowledge of the fire, to find the house in ashes. The first thought of the children was for their pet Newfoundland dog, whom they knew had been locked in the house. Their calls brought their big Ead, et however, and it was found that he leaped thru a second-story window when he found all other avenues of es cape cut off. He had plunged thru the glass, and with the exception of a few scratches, was unhurt, to the extreme delight of the children. The wild barking of the dag, after he had made his escape attracted neigh bors, and the alarm was turned m. But it was too late to save the building and its contents. The kitchen stovo is thought to have been responsible for the fire. FIGHT OVER GARBAGE Man and Woman Have Lively Setto in Lockup Alley. Michael McDonald and Mav Sanasky had a quarrel over the possession of a pail of garbage in lockup alley this forenoon and as the woman's claims seemed to be the stronger, McDonald threw the garbage in her face and told her to keep it. Sergeant Fred John son happened to see the trouble and promptly arrested McDonald, who was brought into police court and fined $5. Both McDonald and Mrs. Ssnasky have collected garbage from the res taurants tot several years and today they happened to cross beats, with the disastrous results. MANY JANUARY DEATHS Pneumonia and Accidents Swelled Roll for the Month. Death claimed a long roll of victims in Minneapolis in January, the list ap proaching 260, whereas the monthly average at this time of the year is about 200. There has been no epidemic, in fact, the city is unusually free from con tagious diseases. The increase is due largely to pneumonia and other pul monary diseases and to the large num ber of accidental deaths.
