COMBINE IS A GO
WHOLESALE HARDWARE JOBBERS
TO FORM AX ORGAN
IZATION'
LARGE PROFITS, LESS EXPENSE
A Move to Cnrtnil Competition, Cat
-. .tins of PriccN, and Reduce. -
Operating Expenses to
a Minimum.
"The hardware combine is practically
an established fact," said a large Twin ,
City jobber yesterday afternoon to The
Globe. The promoters have options on
all the large wholesale hardware stores
in Chicago, St. Louis, Milwaukee, De
troit, Kansas City, Omaha, Dubuque, St.
Paul and Minneapolis.
"They have hied their articles of in
corporation, and arc now prepared to so
ahead and consummate their plans. i
There is no question about the project
being launched and that in the very near
future." ; ■•-,■ ■":-..• ■ ■ '
One of the leading Twin City jobbers
•was asked if he would consider a
proposition to go into such a scheme. He |
said: "Of course we would. We think I
the idea a good one." Then do we under
stand that you are in favor of trusts?
was asked. "Why, no, not exactly; this,
you understand, is not a trust;, it is
simply a business proposition, and one
that should appeal to any business man.
You must understand that combinations
and consolidations are possible now, that
could not be considered even as a remote
probability ten years ago; at this time
everything seems to favor closer working
relations of allied interests, in order to
be successful and we look upon trie
scheme as one that may prove of great
benefit."
When asked how long this matter had
been under consideration, the jobber
said:' "About two months ago a repre.
sentative of the promoters, a Mr. Jonn
Bindley, formerly president of». the Na
tional Association of Wholesale Hard
ware Jobbers, came to the Twin Cities,
looked over the field, and before he left
had conditional options on three of the
largest: establishments in the Twin
Cities."
Nothing has been said from that time
until the present, and it is not definitely
known, whether the proposition mafJe
two months ago will be accepted by the
promoters at this time or not, but it is
fair to presume that if such a combine
is launched, that the Twin Cities are a
center which must be reckoned with, and
now that the articles of incorporation
have been filed, the so-called trust is
very nearly sure of the houses which
It will have under it control and
from now on it will simply be a matter
of arranging the working details, and
getting everything in running order foi
the new concern to take hold, and direct
the movements of the various houses
which it will control.
The plan is to have a general office,
presumably in Chicago, and from there
the different branches will be operated.
It is also understood that the present
firm names of the different houses which
■will come under their control will be be
retained, so that apparently the mer
chants will do business with the same
firm that they have always dealt with.
The benefits which will result from
such a combination will be the cutting
down of an enormous expense of doing
business., For example, the three largest ;
houses In the Twin Cities employ about
150 traveling men. They all practically
cover the same territory, and under the
rew arrangement one man could take
the place of three, thereby reducing the
cost of doing business nearly one-half.
It also would do away with price-cutting
in order to secure business. This same
rule would apply to other cities that in
vade the same territory.
-It is understood that the president of
the National Association of Wholesale
Hardware Dealers, who is a member of
a large St. Paul firm, is one of the chief
promoters of the scheme, and is very
anxious for its consummation.. It is un
derstood that any who wish may sell
their business outright to the new or
ganization, but in doing so they bind
themselves not to again engage In the
■wholesale hardware business; if they do
not sell out, they can remain as a stock
holder in the new organization, which,
no doubt, would prove more satisfac
tory.
The combination of the hardware inter
ests in the West is one easy of accom
plishment, as there are comparatively
few of them to reckon with, and pros
pects of holding them together are more
inviting than in any other line of job
bins business. A strange thing about

11. & O. YEARLY REPORT.
KsirniiijfK for the Year Increased,
ami Expenses Likewise.
NEW YORK, Nov. IS.—The annual re
port of the Baltimore & Ohio railroad
for the year ended June 30 last, the first
issued under the new management,
shows an increase in gross earnings of
$4,331,322.73, or 10 per cent; an increase In
operating expenses of $3,218,014.16, or 11.66
percent, and an increase in net earings
of $1,113,308.57, or 7.44 per cent. Increase
in earnings from freight was $3,566,017.17,
or 11.T4 per cent, and in earnings from
passengers of $619,099.59, or 7.34 per cert.
There was an increase in expense, main
tenance of way, of $912,954,54, or 15.98 per
rent; maintenance of equipment of $979
--259.55, or 19.11 per cent: conducting trans
portation cost Of $1,04b\!i30.51. or 6.73 per
ceivt, and in general expenses of $278,800
or 12 ncr cent. After paying dividends,
interest and other charges there remain.
«:d an unapplied surplus of $1,363,085. The
text of the report is brief and does not
refer to the Pennsylvania purchase of
the stock.
The seventy-fifth annual meeting of the
stockholders of the Baltimore & Ohio
Railroad company was held today in this
city. It was notable, because for the
first tima since the receivership the stock
holders had a say in the choice of di
rectors, and In the further fact that the
Pennsylvania Railroad company domi
nated the meeting. There was no change
in the board of directors, the following
being re-elected: Messrs. E. R. Bacon

HOT SHOT FROM AMES.
Ministers Ml«*«tnte Facts—After the j
Coin I-ilie Oilier Folks.
"I am credibly informed,'' said Mayor
Ames yesterday, upon his return from -a
hunting expedition in the northern . part
of the state, that while I was shooting
deer In Itasca county, some of oar wor
thy ministers have had another., spasm
over the saloon question. That •is ; too
bad, but I don't suppose :it can be help
ed. Every city as ;: large as • Minneapolis
must expect to have periodical-spasms. oi 1
fanaticism and hypocrisy." . •,....
'"I understand that during my ab
sence a report was circulated to the ef
fect that I had offered ; Cole Younger
a captaincy on the police force. ; The re
port was absolutely untrue. " What I did
say to Cole •: the other day was, - that if
he couldn't find anytning else to do, I
would give him a job as turnkey in one, j
of the police stations. I never offered
him a captaincy or any other office."
Referring agan to the ministers who
have recently agitated the subject : of ,
night closing of saloons, the mayor said:
"Anyone who understands these minis
ters who are raising a hue and cry can
readily see their motives. They are not
preaching for their, health, any more
than lawyers or doctors are practicing
for their health, or a merchant 1 selling
goods for his health; they are simply
out for the coin like other folks. .
"Some of them rely on sensationalism
to bring them into prominence, and
that's why they resort to these tactics,
just to get themselves before the pub
lic ■' •
"I am sorry to say that occasionally
there arises a clergyman who doesn't
scruple to misstate the facts, if such mis
statement serves to bolster "up his con :
tention. Only a week ago Sunday . a
Minneapolis clergyman openly asserted
from the pulpit that a mass of saloons
in the city were open, all night long.
Now I brand that statement as utterly
false, as every man who knows any
thng about the customs of saloons m
this city can testify. - The great mass or.
saloons cannot be found open after 1
"What overthrew Tammany in New
York city? The law- and order, league
of tight and strict administration? . Not
a bit of it. Instead it was the assur
ance of the anti-Tammany crowd, that
if it was victorious it would give the
city a wide-open administration, only it
i would curtail the stealing done under the
Tammany rule and taxes would be re
duced. • That's all. The people don t
want a city shut up as tight as a drum, ;
but every once in a while we have to
endure these spasms of fanaticism.
"By the way, I have a new name for
the midnight slumming tours, that the
ministers take to get material for their
sermons, "Religious pastime, I call it.
INTRODUCE A NEW COURSE.
Board of Education to Consider a
Commercial Course.
The Minneapolis high school will be
asked to introduce a commercial course
in their curriculum next year, and it is
not at all unlikely but what the request
will be granted. Such a . plan has been
successfully tried in Chicago, and there
is every reason to believe that it would
meet with approbation here. -
For several years past the . number
of students who take the classical course
has been growing less, and . the same
is true of all the high schools through
out the country; students instead of tak
ing this course usually go to the com
mercial colleges and finish their studies
at that institution. ..•■, w, .
While the board do not intend to
abolish the classical course, it is un
derstood that they will endeavor to in
stitute a new course of study such as
is given in commercial colleges. ■;. .
Before anything is recommended, how
ever, they intend to secure a detailed re
port of the work in Chicago, from the
superintendent of schools, and find out
what has been their success.
<<SAFHO" HER DSWXFALL.
A Young: Minneapolis Girl Arrested
in Chicago for Stealing".
Mabel Gross, a young Minneapolis
woman, was arrested in Chicago a few
days ago, charged with having stolen
a valuable gown from a department
store there. '.'■-' •
The play "Sapho," her relatives claim,
was responsible for turning her head
and causing her downfall. She left
home some time ago and went to Chi
cago, where she registered at the Great
Northern hotel Nov. 10, and a few days
later she reported that a sacque valued
at $300 had been stolen from her room.
The hotel people became suspicious, and
detectives watched her. A valuable tailor
made gown had been found in her room,
and it was later learned that she had
walked '. out of the store with it :' while
it was being fitted. This resulted in her
ejectment from the hotel and her subse
quent arrest..
Mabel Gross had lived in Minneapolis
until ten days ago, since childhood. Her
fi>.the-. Theodore Gross, died three years
ago and lived at 105 West Lake street,
with $1,680,238.10 for the same period in
liM), an increase of $1,773)042, while as
compared with the same period in lSh!),
this years gain is $540,734.77.
Illinois Central Circular.
A circular has been Issued by E. H.
Harriman & Co., calling attention to the
present condition of and the prospective
outlook for the Illinois Central road.
This circular says:
"The progressive policy in the manage
ment of this road may be clearly traced
as far back as ISS7. Realizing that in
successful competition service to the pub
lic counted as much as low rates, it has
not hesitated to make improvements and
extensions in advance of actual require
ments, and results have abundantly justi
fied the wisdom of this course. The large
increase in traffic has taxed the road to
its fullest capacity, and to handle this
more economically the equipment is to be
largely increased and the road double
tracked.
"The company has the most direct
route from Chicago to New Orleans, its
roadway following- the course of Missis
sippi river through a flat and easy coun
try. It serves the great wheat, corn and
cattle districts of the Middle states, as
well as the cotton and lumber districts of
the South. At New Orleans It has ex
traordinary facilities for the trans
shipment of freight to other ports, and
will benefit largely by any increase in
trade to Central and South America.
"The growth in net profits from $2 778,531
in '1897 to $6,967,660 in 1901 is due only in
a small degree to increased mileage; the
latter increased 34.6 per cent, while net
profits increased over 150 per"cent, and
this is the more notable when attent on
is directed to the fact that during the
same period the amount spent annually
for maintenance increased from $2,013 to
52,032 a road mile. The average in 1900
was $2,442, while the average on all roads
in the United States was only $2,038.
"Since 1878 stockholders have each year
received dividends of at least 5 per cent
per annum, and as high as 8 per cent,
the present rate being 6 per cent."
Reducing: Interest on Bonds.
NEW YORK, Nov. 18.-At the annual
meeting of the stockholders of the Buf
falo, Rochester & Pittsburg Railway
company today the recommendation of
the directors that the. interest of $1,000,-
COO of debenture bonds be reduced from
5 to 4 per cent, was accepted. The con
dition that they be made convertible into
common stock of the company at par
was imposed. The proposal that the bal
ance of $2,000,000 debenture, bonds au
thorized in 1897 be made convertible and
redeemaole on the same terms was also
accepted, as was the recommendation
that the common capital stock of fhe
company be increased $3,000,000. The Old
beard of directors -was elected.

THE ST. PAUL GLOBE, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 19, 1901.
since which time Miss Gross had lived
with her sister at 1117 Third street
northeast. It is claimed by her brother
in-law that she had been "stage struck"
for a long time. She haunted the local
hcr.ses and became acquainted with
many actors, and often expressed a de
sire to go on the stage, but never re
ceived an opportunity. When "Sapho"
was presented here last summer she be
came acquainted with one of the leadr
Ing men, who promised to assist her. The
company later left for Detroit, and the
actor whom she met, left with them,
and she never heard anything more
from him.
This was a great disappointment, and
now that, her desire for the stage was
thoroughly aroused, the glare of the
footlights seemed to fascinate her more
and more, and a week ago she decided
to go to Chicago in the hope of securing
an engagement. The only thing that
has been heard of her since she left was
the notice chronicling her arrest.
Her brother-in-law says that he will
do nothing to help her, as he does not
believe she entertains any practical ideas
of life. Miss Gross was for about a
year and a half operator at the North
western Telephone exchange.
RETURNED THE NOTES.
Defnnct Insnrnnce Company Resorts
to Strang-e Business Methods.
Receiver W. S. Dwinnell, of the Minne
apolis Fire and Marine Mutual Insurance
company, has begun legal proceedings in
order to discover what has become of
about 4100,000 of assets supposedly in the
pessession of the directorate of the com
pany at the time it was placed in his
charge.
The assets in question consisted of
notes given by certain parties and of col
lateral given to secure the notes. Alto
gether they formed what was known as
the guaranty fund of the company, and
when advertised as such formed the basis
upon which much business was secured.
Mr. Dwinnell yesterday began action
to force the directors of the defunct
company to disclose the present where
abouts of the notes and collateral in
question. The proceedings were had be
fore Judge Simpson, and resulted last
evening only in a statement from the di
rectors and officers present that the as
sets had been given back to the parties
advancing them before the concern was
placed in the hands of the receiver.
Mr. Dwinnell made the point that such
a proceeding would at least be in doubt
ful taste, inasmuch as such a fund would
never be more necessary than when the
company was upon the point of failure.
No reply was attempted to this criticism.
Mr. Dwinnell was made receiver of
the insurance company March 5 last, as
the result of an action brought against
it by the Germania bank, of this city.
The directors yesterday claimed that
they had divided the guaranty fund and
returned it to the individuals in Decem
ber of last year.
Charles S. Spencer, under indictment
for forgery in connection with the affairs
of the company, was its secretary.
POOR BUT PROUD.
Has Relatives but Would Not Ask
Their Assistance.
Wrapped in a small canvas horse blan
ker, the body of Charles Flanders was
found in the loft of a barn at the rear
of 86 Western avenue, yesterday morn
ing. Flanders was fifty-five years old,
and had lived in Minneapolis thirty
years.
For many years he was one of the
eha:acters about the market, being a
peddler. The last seen of him he was in
a saloon Sunday afternoon. He com>
plained of feeling ill, and he was urged
to go to the home of his brother, Wil
lam C. Flanders, 2318 Eleventh avenue
south. But the old man was too proud
to ask for aid, even from his relatives,
and so he crawled into the barn loft.
He was seen there by men around the
barn, and, although they heard him
groan occasionally, they thought it was
only the effects of liquor, and did not
disturb him.
Date for Meeting Set.
Chairman Elijah Barton, of the Demo
cratic county, organization, has called a
meeting for the evening of Monday, Dae.
1, at which time a hearing will be ox
tended to the committee of five appoint
ed at the recent conferences.
The fact that Chairman Barton call*
this meeting, however, is not to be re
lied upon as a sure indication that either
he or the committee will yield to the de
mands of the other faction that a pri
mary election be held Immediately for
the election of new committeemen
throughout the county.
It is hinted that an amicable outcome
will be arranged whereby the organiza
tion will call primaries for the election
of its successors sometime early in the
Spring, the plan suggested by W. H. Wil
liams, one of the complaining commit
tee.
Issned Many Licenses.
Up to the present time County Auditor
Scott has issued 33S hunters' licenses.
This beats the best record of any previous
year oy almost 100. In 1900, 242 licenses
were issued and in 1899 only 193.
The unusually large number of deer
hunters this year is regarded by those
who issue the certificates as an indica
tion of prosperity. The fact that so many
people can afford to spend time and m.gn
ey in excursions to the northern part of
the state is regarded as an evidence of
good business conditions. ,

CNCINNATI.Nov. 18.—President Wood
ford, of the Cincinnati, Hamilton & Day
ton railway received a dispatch today
from the attorneys of the road in New
York advising him that the negotiations
were closed in that city today whereby
the Cincinnati. Hamilton & Dayton rail
way purchased the Findlay, Fort Wayne
& Washington road. This road is sev
enty-edght miles in length, running from
Findlay to Fort Wayne, Ind., crossing
the C,. H. & D. at Ottawa. The pur

SPARKS FROM RAILS.
The Baltimore & Ohio Southwestern
has in contemplation improvements and
additions to its terminals in Cincinnati
that wiil involve an expenditure of $250,
--000 or $300,000.
Arrangements are being made for the
use of the Pennsylvania's tracks into
Chicago by the Baltimore & Ohio. The
latter's own tracks end in South Chicago,
where connections will be made with the
Pennsylvania. The change will effect a
saving of twenty-five minutes in entering
Chicago.
Steel rails are being delivered to the
San Pedro, Los Angeles & Salt Lake
road in 100 car lots. In addition to those
already contracted for, 12,000 tons of
rails have been ordered, the deal for the
material having been closed/ The Illinois
steel company is turning out the rails.
The material contracted for and delivered
will construct about 200 miles of road.
Notice has been given by the Rock
Island, the Union Pacific, the Denver &
Rio Grande, and the Union Pacific roads
that they will make a rate of one fare for
the round trip for the Benevolent and
Protective Order of Elks, to be held at
Salt. Lake city Aug. 12 and 14 next. These
roads seem to be in the field for the
business in ample time.
The Big Four road has closed a con
tract for twenty-five new locomotives for
March delivery. Ten will be heavy pas

have already been delivered, four more
will arrive this month, and the last four
