VOL. XXV.—NO. 15. MINNESOTA VS. MICHIGAN CrOrHEIIS AND WOLVERINES TO ••LAV FOOTBALL NEXT THANKS GIVING DAY MEETING TO BE AT DETROIT Slanngern of Big: Teams Hold Con ference nt iiicano and Take Action Auent Next Fall's I Schedule. ITO BIG GAMES FOR MADISON Special to The Globe. CHICAGO, 111., Jan. 14.-Another defi nite AYestcrn football fixture, which will serve materially toward unraveling the Bchcdule situation, was brought out to 3ay, when, at the meeting of the football managers at the. Victoria hotel, it was Dfncially announced that Michigan wouM play Minnesota at Detroit on Thanksgiv- Jig day. Though no definite date for a Cliicago- Michigan game was set, it may be said tvith fairly positive assurance that the game will be played in Chicago in 1902 and I'jOZ, and in the year following m Detroit or Ann Arbor. The game next fall probably will be played about the middle of November. Athletic Director Baird and Coach F. H. Yost represented Michigan; A. A. Stagg, the maroons; Manager C. H. Kil patrick, Wisconsin; Dr. C. M. Holiister, Northwestern, and Jack Holiister, Be leit. There was no representative from Minnesota. Wisconsin and Michigan want to get together, but thus far there is a hitch which prevents joint action. Wisconsin must go to Minnesota, for its game with the Gophers this year, and as the game with Nebraska is the only big game scheduled for Madison, the Badgers would like to have Michigan play at the Wisconsin capital, but it is hardly probabie this wJll be arranged. Michigan has the heaviest schedule ot any Western college, whether it plays Wisconsin or not. Coach Yost said to day that games would positively be play ed with Albion, Oberlin, Ohio state uni versity, Indiana, Chicago, Minnesota and lowa. THEIR HOPE 13 HIGH WOMAX SUFFRAGISTS FEEL SI'KE THEY WILL SAVE MANKIND STILL WITHOUT A PRESIDENT Dr. Itatler Didn't Get Around Till the Women Hud Started, : • So His Talk Was Postponed. Dr. Rader, pastor of the First M. E. church, attended the meeting of the St. Paul Political Equality club, held last night at the home of Mrs. W. E. Koeers, -S4 South Exchange, prepared to deliver a comprehensive addn ss.but seven women were there before him. and the doctor was forced to postpone his address until some other time. Mrs. J. Kelly presided at last night's meeting, which was attended by about fifty men and women interested in the woman suffrage movement. Dr. Ethel Hind, of Minneapolis, read a lengthy paper on "The History of the Woman Suffrage Movement." Dr. Hurd's view of the future was exceeding ly optimistic for with women in posses sion of the ballot box she saw no reason why the millennium should not be pos s-ble. The paper pointed out the work that might be done by the local club, especially in a legislative way. for woman suffragists were busy women, she said, and it was difficult for those livine out side of St. Paul to watch closelv tlio workings of the legislature. Eternal vig ilance, she assured her hearers, would be the price of female suffrage, .i.irs. Lora Little, the state organizer, was present last night and gave a history of the suf frage movement in Minnesota. She ad vised the new club to prepare attractive programmes for its meetings. She knew of no better means of arousing in terest in the work. A programme of music and recitations was presented by Miss Bessie Kirk, Miss Christian, Mrs. Frank Wtu^e and Miss Edith Shaw. Following tiie programme there was an informal discussion and refreshments were served. A feature of these refresh ments was the suffraee salad. The salad was made of lettuce leaves and between the leaves were auotations from address es delivered by different noted suffragists. The club has not yet been successful in obtaining a president. Mrs. W. K. Rogers, the vice president, will serve in tl-at capacity for the present. GAYETY AT WHITE HOUSE IMtESIDENT AND MRS. ROOSEVELT HOXOR THE JUDICIARY. WASHINGTON.

A W/ Ib^Hb i jBH •*—4R ] 9 BtM^ i E REMEMBER THE CHURCH OMAHA BURGLARS SEND STOLEN GOODS TO DONATION PARTY. Special to The Globe. OMAHA, Neb., Jan. 14.—Burglars with a religious bent raided the meat market of Peter Besen, 2504 Farnam street, last night. The robbers drove to a rear door with a wagon, and dropped into it the contents of Mr. Besen's refrigerator, which was well stocked. A donation party was in progress in a neighboring Unitarian church mission church, and learning in some unknown way the nature of the festivity, the burglars sent a con tribution by a lad who was hanging about the church, and who said he was given 10 cents by a stranger in a wagon to carry a gift to the pastor. The gift was a half dozen hams and a quantity of canned meat, which the clergyman received thankfully. The meat was iden tified by the butcher today as part of his property.

CHICAGO, Jan. 14.—Trade unionists of Chicago have Decided to take uniform action against the building of warships and naval machinery in any but govern ment shops. Resolutions have been adopt ed by the leading unions of the city re questing Congressman Foss, who is the head of the committee on naval affairs, to use his influence toward the adoption of a bill to that effect by congress .

It is claimed by the men that the gov ernment can as well build its own ships as not, and that yards should be placed on the Great Lakes and work be done there as well as on the ocean coasts. "UNCLE TOM" MUST CO SOUTHERN 1 WOMES W TO'VT TOLER- ATE IT ANY LONGER. LOUISVILLE, Ky., Jan. 14.-Continuing the opposition to the playing of "Uncle lom's Cabin," which was begun by the Lexington chapter of the United Daugh ters of the Confederacy, requesting the manager of the Lexington opera house to not allow the play from Mrs. Stowe's book to be presented there, the Albert Sidney Johnston chapter, of Louisville today began a movement to petition the Kentucky legislature to prohibit the pre sentation of the play in this state A committee was appointed to draw up the petition and to draft resolutions indors ing the Lexington chapter's act'on Mrs. Basil W. Duke, wife of Gen. Duke the Confederate cavalry leader, and a sister of Gen. Morgan, of Confederate fame, who is president of the Albert Sidney Johnston chapter and tormer state president of the United Daughters of the Cdyfederacy, will, through the present state president Mrs. J. M. Ar nold, of Newport, bring the subject of "Uncle Tom's Cabin" before every chap ter in the state, in an effort to have them combine to protest against the play in Kentucky. Mrs Mary B.

WEDNESDAY MORNING, JANUARY 13, 1902.---TEN PAGES. PADDLES HIS OWN CANOE PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT TAKES PATRONAGE INTO HIS OWN HANDS HANNA IS SHORN OF POWER Ohio Senator's Role of King: Maker Likely to Be Played Out Long: Before the Vest Republican Convention Assembles*. GOSSIP OF NATIONAL CAPITAL PROM THE GLOBS BIREAI', Washington, D. C. WASHINGTON, D. C. Jan. 14.-Presi dent Roosevelt has taken the southern patronage out of the hands of Hanna and the Republican national committee. Whatever federal offices are to be filled in that quarter he will attend to him self. This is a violent departure from precedent as established bv McKinley and it results in taking a large moiety of power from Hanna. How the Repub lican machine will like it remains to be seen. There are various explanations. The apologists for the administration sav it is merely the president's anxiety to carry out his ideas of merit in the civil service. He, they say, is going to appoint only good men whether thev be Republicans or Democrats, white or black. u.'his sounds well; but it has been noted that the old Republican bosses have been hamstrung so often lat.ly that the merit excuse is getting frazzled with them. In past years tne southern patronage has played an important part in securing the Southern delegates at the Republican na tional convention. If Hanna were a can didate himself he mieht use this influence to good advantage. Or even if there were another candidate it would heln Hanna to maintain his role of king-maker. So per haps the president thinks he will use it himself. That is the way it is interpreted by rude every-day politicians. An Historic Resort. "Hancock's" place on Pennsylvania avenue, is one of the historic landmarks of the national capital. It is pomted out to visitors as the resort patronized by Daniel Webster, Henry Clay, and later by Grant, Lincoln and the prominent figures of war times'. It is little more than a - museum now. The same old bottles of rum behind the bar have been preserved for fifty years and the same duct has been allowed to accumulate and remain upon them. About the walls are hundreds of relics and pictures. There are photo graphs of the hanging of Mrs. Surrafct and the Lincoln conspirators, old car toons, hand bills offering rewards for the murderer of Lincoln, old muskets of | revolutionary pattern and service, old hats with fuzzy nan, autographs of famous men and flnallv relics of the Spanish American war. ahe bar is the same one which supported the elbows of the giant statesman. It is lower than it used to be; as it rotted at the bottom it was gradually reduced in height. It is related that Webster alwavs ordered his liquor by dumb-show. Feel ing ran high in those days and a man in drink was likelv to eet into trouble it" he permitted discussion. So Webster made it an invariable rule to speak to no one. He would eo in and hold out two fingers, and bartender would fill a glass to that height: or if Mr. Webster were more conviviaF. and had alreadv in dulged he would hold out three finerers for a larger measure, or even four. He made a business of his drinking and never in vited or accepted treat. "Where Correspondents Assemble. Speaking of drinking resorts, one of the oddest places in Washington is one discovered by the newspaper correspond ents in a little out-of-the way corner not far from the avenue and the treas ury. It resembles the famous old Chesh ire Cheese, in London, though its pro prietor would feel insulted at the sugv gestion of anything English. Mine host is a Dublin University man, with a turn for letters and a knack of keeping good beer. It is an unusual combination. Dennis Mullaney tends his cash register with one hand and holds a book in the other. Ir. the matter of English and grammar he is a purist, and a split in finitive Is as much of an offense to him as stale beer. He is fond of mathemat ics, and delights to get up controversies with the experts in the scientific de partments. He has a brogue like Mr. Dooley, and his comments on current events are often quite as trenchent and edifying. There is scarcely a member of the corps of correspondents stationed at Washington whom he does not know, and even old veterans like Duimell, Wynne and Maj. Carson do not scorn to sit on his iee box and discuss affairs of state and the newest book. Ambrose Bierce and Mr, Mullaney have long been friends, and the latter has a high opin ion of th# former's book reviews. Al though his place is noted for its beer, Mr. Mullaney is true to his ancestral drink, and it is a favorite saying with him that there is inspiration in whisky ' but not an brginal idea in a brewery. The newspaper men have guarded the secret of their discovery with great jeal ousy. A few senators and representa tives who are in the good graces of the corps have been initiated, but it is the consensus of opinion that the politicians are not wanted. It is the kind of place which might be spoiled by too much popularity. Southern Postoffice Rivalry. Down in Negaunee, South Carolina, they have their own chivalric way of settling postoffice rivalries. There were two candidates for the position, one Scott, a large man of great physical proportions and political influence; the other ParceiT, a small man of notorious activity. Scott was an avowed candi date; Parcell had not given any hint of his ambition up to the time of his ar rival at Washington. He came because he had been selected by Scott to go to the front for him. Scott thought Par cell's activity would be very beneficial to his cause. But after a few days in Washington Parcell appeared in the light of an active candidate working for him self. Scott was wroth, and wrote to the department denouncing Parcell, and filing charges against him; they were to the effect that he rented some real estate for improper purposes. The active Par cell became angry in turn, and hastened home to Negaunee. As the story is told he hurried from the train to the favor ite haunt of the ponderous Scott, and reaching up struck him on the nose. Then he jumped the air and hit him again. Then,he kept on until he was through. Before he went away he requested Scott to withdraw the charges filed against him and to cease his can didacy for the postoffice.

D., today, "is becoming a second Paris. No, I might say New York is a second- Paris. As the influx to Paris undermined it, so New York is being undermined. The society woman and a great many of her less wealthy sisters consider it a disgrace to have children. They* do not wish to lose any of the gay life in the city. My lady, with a family about; her, could not go to a ball, or sit in a box at the horse show. In the country families are as large as they once were. But in New York the family is becoming smaller and smaller. According to the keeper of the records there are 10,000 fewer babies this year than there should be."

CHAIRMAN KEEP RESIGNS -\ORTH-WESTERX LOSES ONE OF ITS OLDEST OFFICERS. Special to The Globe. CHICAGO, 111., Jan. 14.-Albert Keep, for fifteen years chairman of the boar.T of directors of the Chicago & Northwest ern Railway company, has resigned and the office has practically been abolished. The duties of the office.however.have been assumed by President Hughitt, who, when he gets ready to retire from the presidency, may be made board chairman. Mr. Keep retains his directorship, but will not again be an active factor in the affairs of the North-Western system. The retirement of the chairman, who is in his seventy-sixth year, was caused by a pe riod of ill health lasting nearly one year. Mr. Keep became president of the North western in 1874, holding the place four teen years. GOOD FEELING IN GERMANY. Preparations for Prince's Reception Pleases German People. BERLIN, Jan. 14.—The correspondent ot the Associated Press here has received a telegram from the North German Lloya Steamship company at Bremen sayins that the date of Prince Henrys sailing has not yet been fixed. The telegram concludes as follows: "It is concluded that the company will send a fast liner not- in the published sailing schedule to convey Prince Henry to New York." An arrangement has been made between the German admiralty and the North German Lloyd Steamship company by which the imperial yacht Hohenzollern, when she arrives at Hoboken, will be freshly painted in order to remove all traces of her long voyage and that she may present her handsome appearance for the festivities. German papers print long cablegrams from New York dwelling on the interest developed by Prince Henry's projected visit, describing the tentative plans for his entertainment and giving the com ment of the New York pres3 on the mat ter. These latter have created the best impression here. Prince Henry will ar rive at Berlin next Thursday, where he will remain for the court festivities. IN FAVOR OF RECIPROCITY. Manufacturers of Agrieiiltnral Im plements "Want More Markets. KANSaS CITY, Jan. 14.—The conven tion of the Western Retail Implement Dealers' association opened today. W. S. Thomas, of Springfield. Ohio, presi dent of the National Association of Ag ricultural Implement Manufacturers, made an address favoring reciprocity. "The manufacturers of agricultural im plements and vehicles are deeply inter ested in reciprocity,'* said Mr. Thomas. "Our factories are enlarging rapidly. The production ha« been so much larger than could be consumed In this country that we have been forced to go abjroad for a market." Mr. Thora%s spoke of tlfe hostile French tariff, the threats of Germany and Russia, and the prospect of retalia tion by England, and ss^id: "As long as we have high tariffs on goods from those countries we cannot ex pect them to do else than retaliate." OPINIONS ON TAX BILL REPORT OF THE COMMISSIONERS COMMENTED ON BY PROMINENT TWIN CITY CITIZENS D. R. NOYES ADVISES CAUTION Says Unscrupulous Citizens Will Ui». | doubtedly Find Means to Erado It, to the Detriment of Honest Men. IS FAVOEED IN MINNEAPOLIS The Globe has endeavored to ascer tain the views of a number of the lead ing business and professional men in the Twin Cities regarding the report which the tax commission submitted to the gov ernor a few days ago. It has found, how ever, that owing to the voluminous char acter of the report and the importance of the question treated that most of those approached were not prepared to give their views at present, saying they had not yet found time to peruse it carefully and thoroughly digest its contents. Be low will be found the views of some of those who did express their opinions: D. R. Noyes said: "No more, important matter for consideration has come before the people of the state than the proposed new state law for taxation. It looks to me as if very carefully prepared, ana the result of much thought and study. 1 think the work has been -done by good and competent men. It bears every marie of faithfulness and care, and yet, I am by no means sure that we are ready for It. If its objects, the taxation of all prop erty, could be attained, and everyone could make a tax statement showing in full all his property, it might by the re duction of the rate and by the correct ness of the list, prove a wise and bene ficial law to all. "But human nature is the same in Min nesota as elsewhere, and the first point to be considered will be as now—how to pre vent unequal, and, therefore, unjust, tax ation. An honest man making a complete list of all his property at the present time (and the law demands this) would be most unfairly taxed, or be sent home by the assessor himself with directions to comply with the law as others are doing. It is just as much a principle of law that all shall b^ taxed equally as that all shall be taxed fully. "1 have gone over this law carefully, and some portions more than once. ]t is, like all such laws, seeking to enforce a principle not fully recognized by many as binding upon them, a severe statute* in the power that it gives for search into private affairs, and if administered harsh ly, would be simply crushing to the busi ness community. While I would like fo £«e all property reached and taxed equal ly and fairly, I do not believe that It can be affected by this law, carefully framed as it is. Some means of avoiding its provisions will be found not only by the unscrupulous, but by honest and good citizens, who feel that in its practical workings it bears rr.ore heavily upon them than upon ethers. Likely to Be Modified. "I am very much inclined to think that the proposed statute will be greatly mod ified before it becomes a law, and that the opposition to it will not be confined to the unintelligent and unscrupulous, but that the lear of it will cause many ol our best citizens to oppose it in its pres ent shape. "I do not wish to appear opposed to any wise and carefully prepared law to secure the fullest possible listing of property. It iff the ideal plan that all should be listed, but I would like somewhat more assurance that such a law as this, pre pared with care as it is, will not bear unequally upon our taxpayers in its ad ministration. Its possibilities of inequal ity in its administration, are in my opin ion, very great. "While the idea of the state board of review is a good one, yet I confess to a liking for the comfort one finds in the name, if not in the actions, of our state board of equalization." Auditor Dnnn Favors Bill. State Auditor Robert C. Dunn, than whom there is no man in the state bet ter posted on the general subject of tax ation, after a careful perusal of the re port of the tax commission, gives his hearty approval. Mr. Dunn says: "I have read the report of the tax com mission twice, and it is what "I expected of them. It is a strong document, and I have very few changes to suggest. There are some things I do not quite agree with, but I am going to talk them over with the members of the commission be. fore I make up my mind fully. "I have a suggestion to make to the leg islature. With all due respect to the members of that body, It must be ad mitted that none of them, and, in fact, no one outside of the tax commission, knows anything like as much as the com missioners do about the problem of taxa tion. If the legislators go to amending that bill to suit their ideas, they are go ing to spoil the whole act unless they io it intelligently. Now I would suggest that the legislature secure the attendance of the commissioners at the capitol dur ing the session and confer with them re garding all changes. The commission has finished its work and no longer exists, but it would pay the legislature to pay them $25 a day if necessary, to help them in an advisory capacity. "There are a few changes that I would recommend from my experience. They have re-enacted the old law limiting the tax levy for county purposes. There should be a limit, but it is placed too low on the poorer counties. The limit is 5 mills in counties with an assessed val ulation of $1,000,C0Q to $20,000,000. That is not enough for counties from $1,000,000 to $5,000,000. In a county of $1,100,000 valua tion it will only raise $5,500 for county purposes. That is not enough. It hardly pays the county .officers. The limit should be 10 mills for all counties with less than $5,000,000 valuation. *'I favored keeping the state board of equalization, but that can't be done un der the system they have worked out, and I must admit the truth of their argu ment for abolishing the board. The local representatives are continually trying to keep the assessments down in their local ities. The meeting of county supervisors with the state tax commission is a good thing. The expense of this meeting should be paid out of the state treasury, though, and not by the counties. "The permanent tax commission is a thing we need. It will take considerable responsibility off the state auditor's office, especially in the matter of abatements. The permanent commission "will keep the laws up to date, too, and there will be an end of haphazard amendments to the tax laws, which throw them in con fusion. The tax commission will know from their experience just what is need- Continued on Fifth Page.

BOOTH-CLIBBOKN WILL JOIN HIS CHURCH Salvation Army Lose* One of its Most Successful Leaders to the Chicngu Elijah. Special to The Globe. CHICAGO, Jan. 14.—A London dispatch stating that, owing to doctrinal differ ences, Gen.

Castle Liebburg, Lake Constance. Switzerland. In this letter among other thines the famous Salvation Armv leader says: "Oh, the joy of knowing there is a people who dare to live and teach the whole word without compromise or discount and who fear no man and no nation." 1 have decided to offer myself to you, dear doctor, for Zion, and do so, firmly believ ing it to be the will of God. I take it that you come in the spirit and power of Elijah and as the herald of the second coming of the Baptist of the millennial dawn." Commissioner Booth-Clibborn. next to the famous Gen. Booth, was the main tower of strength in the Salvation Army on the continent. His work in France. Switzerland, Ireland and other parts of Europe almost equaled that of his illustrious father-in-law in every Dart of the world. These evangelists will come to Chicago early in the spring.
