NEWS OF THE CITY DUNN'S DECLARATION STIRS REPUBLICANS The Statement That Senator Ciapp's Re-election Is Ex pected Creates Sensation The declaration by R. C. Dunn in his West Duluth speech that he expects the re-election of Moses E. Clapp as United States senator by the next legislature, is the political sensation of the day. Dunn's statement was confined to a simple declaration that he "believed that J\ioses E. Clapp will be re-elected United States senator," but it was more than Ciapp's friends had expected of him, in view of the apparent coldness that has existed on the part of the Princeton man to the junior senator's candidacy. Numbers of Dunn's closest friends are now working overtime on the "I told you so" stunt, and say that they knew all along: that Dunn would come out for <'l;ipp as soon as the state convention was out of the way and he had had a breathing spen; The Clapp men are smiling and ac cepting the explanation of Dunn's proph ecy for what it is worth. They say that <'!;<l>l>\s impartial rulings in the Repub lican state convention entitle him to Dunn's support, for he was in a ,position to ruin the Princeton man's chances for nomination, had he been so minded. The Collins men. since the convention, have not been very cordial towards Clapp: They point to their record in the skirmishing before the convention. They insist that but for them Clapp would never have been chairman. They say that, led by Joel P. Hoatwole, the Dunn members of the state central committee would never have invited Clapp to be temporary chairman of the convention, and they point to current gossip to prove the truth of their claims. Then they say that when the senator, as temporary chairman of the convention, named the committee on permanent organization, he put four Dunn men on the committee to three roll ins men. Situation Badly Mixed The situation has been much mixed. It Is admitted that Clapp had very little to say in naming the Republican state central committee. Everybody conversant with the political history of the past three months knows that Clapp was pres ented with a list agreed upon between the candidates on the state ticket, and that he could not put himself against the whole state ticket and dictate the nom inees for the committee. H e calmly swal lowed the list and it is now the Repub lican state central committee The open hostility of Joel P. Heatwole who was one of Dunn's most trusted lieutenants in the pre-convention fight, Jias naturally involved Dunn in the public mind. It has been freely opined by the politicians that as was Heatwole so was Dunn. The entrance into the field of a multi plicity of candidates for the Republican nominations to the lower house of the leg islature in almost every district' i n -the state has been charged to the Heatwole - Dun n influence. Where a candidate had early declared himself for Clapp's re-elec tlon he was almost sure to have, at least count, one opponent for the nomination. The Gilfillan candidacy for the senate has never been taken seriously. Mr. Gil fdlan has been designated as a "dead one" and in many quarters he has been considered the stool pigeon for some other more powerful candidate. He has visited Heatwole and Heatwole hus visited him. There have been conferences in the ex clusive parlors of the Minneapolis club as late as Thursday. The withdrawal^ of T. G. McLain as a candidate for renomination in the Anoka district—a part of Mr. Dunn's own legis lative district—is charged to his forward ness in espousing the re-election of Clapp. Henry Lee, representing the same dis trict, voted for Thomas Lowry for the senate at the session in 1901 that elected Clapp originally. George Wyman, the man who is counted on to take his place on the ticket, is not committing himself. Naturally, the developments had been charged to Dunn, but his West Duluth speech has put a different light on the (situation. What Becomes of Heatwole The question that is bothering the poli ticians is—what becomes of Heatwole? Has he lost caste with Dunn and his ad visers? Has he been sidetracked in the interest of "harmony" for Dunn? The situation in the Republican party In the state is admitted by men closest to the people to be one requiring the ex ercise of the greatest tact if the state is not to be lost to Dunn. The practical certainty of the nomination of John A. Johnson, of St. Peter, as the candidate of the Democratic party, and the as surances of support that have come to him from unexpected quarters, have frightened the members of the Repub lican state central commitee into an ac knowledgement of the seriousness of the situation. When Lind defeated Eustis. they say, there was not a tenth of the defection from the Republican ticket that exists today. The feeling against Eustis was confined to Hennepin county and a few scattering counties in widely separ ated parts of the state. This year the fooling of distrust is deepseated and widespread. Influential Republican pa peri are either openly bolting the ticket or giving it a support that is little bet ter than outright opposition. Johnson Strongly Favored Assurances of support have come to Johnson that have surprised the most sanguine of his friends. A telegram re ceived last night from St. Peter said that Joh&son had spent the entire day yes terday in answering letters and telegrams congratulating him on his determination to accept a_nomination for governor if it should be tendered 'him. Republican managers have at least realized the era- :iv of the situation and the only pos sible explanation of Dunn's apparent change of heart is that he has come to the conclusion that without Clapp's INVFSTIfi ATF -doctor SB IMVLJ IIUHI C COLE'S CREO .jfigKEik TREATMENT FOR f&'ffc*2&j£ aS^ ■ ■ ■—r^i\k. !tIL_.I 1 * •KJl'JUß^^^^S^^aJMHl self.,-HalAhe evils of this l']if^oome ■ bMWmmm&&&&mßaEf'':-^:-'- *hln?s-deferred. ~j: The time. to.see the doc *' i'lilllillli^^^^^^^^i--' ii^ture-s laws" OUDo e n'liZe' you f 'llavc violated ll^^^^^fe^"-^^« •*••■ ERE IS HELP FOR you; call • ~^"idipC^v^ •If you nnot call',; full particulars, glv- '''■■'■'■•\-.\'>^j^K^;n^i^L^^^^\\\\W» '"mi ode of treatment, price, : terms, etc., sm^v--\ -WRITE for ; FREE: SYMPTOM: blank.

It is possible that he 7^ll have to make his declaration stronger than a mere expectation that Clapp will win, but doubtless what he did say was bad news for the sage of Northfield. The locality may have had something to do with Dunn's statement. Duluth is one of Ciapp's strongholds. L. M. Will cuts, collector of the port of Duluth, who was in town last night, insists that all of Northern Minnesota is committed to the re-election of Senator Clapp. STRIKING BUTCHERS INDORSED BY UNIONS Trades and Labor Assembly Will As sist in Fight Against Packers The striking butchers of South St. Paul last evening procured the indorse ment of the Trades and Labor assem bly, and a committee of eleven from the assembly was appointed to begin an active crusade for money with which to carry on the strike and to pay strike benefits to a large number of'men, who, it is claimed, are ready to leave their places if such an ar rangement can be made. A number of speeches were delivered by delegates who had made a study of the subject and it was asserted that St. Paul must make a showing in the great meat strike if it expects to re tain its standing as a union town. The result of the agitation in favor of the butchers was that it was decided to solicit assistance from all the business houses of the city, the members of the committee being furnished with a statement of the conditions that led up to the strike. It was claimed by some of the speakers that it will not be difficult to raise $3,000 or $4,000 in St. Paul and Minneapolis. The committee in charge of the so liciting, which will include all the la bor organizations of the city, is: John Puerner, C. E. James, H. V. Koch, C. H. Blye, R. Hoffman, A. H. Garfielcl, W. C. Van Brunt, George Dowdle, G. C. Collins, J. W. Graham and M. T. O'Con nell. A meeting of the committtee was held and it was decided to prepare the subscription lists at once and begin the solicitation the first of the week. EXHIBIT TO EXCEED THAT AT WORLD'S FAIR Big List of Entries Received in State Dairy Competition The butter entered in competition for the dairy exhibits at the state fair, and which is being judged by experts at the refrigerator, department of the dairy building at the fair grounds, yesterday reached a total of nearly 400 tubs, and A. W. Trow, superintendent of the dairy de partment, says that the list of entries is greater than at any of the contests at the world's fair at St. Louis. The larger number of entries are by Minnesota buttermakers, but there are quite a number of entries from lowa and Wisconsin, with several from North 'Da kota and South Dakota and Illinois. The total is about 50 per cent larger than at any previous state fair, and so far as can be determined by the work of the judges the quality of the butter entered in the competition is somewhat better than the average. P. H. Kieffer, Manchester, lowa, as sistant dairy commissioner for his state, is the expert determining the scores and is assisted by Hans Sondergaard, a but termaker of Litchfield. The judging will be completed within three day s and the butter will be put on exhibition in the dairy department of the fair on Monday. The sum of $400 will be divided pro rata among the exhibitors whose product scores above 92 points. One of the attractions of this depart ment of the fair next week will be a creamery in operation for the education of the public, A separator will revolve at the rate of 7,000 revolutions per minute; there will be a churn working and steril izers, coolers and all the paraphernalia of a first-class creamery. NUMBERS MUST NOT BE HUNG ON AUTOS Law Requires That They Be Painted or Posted on Vehicles St. Paul owners of automobiles who have adopted the quite common device of hanging the numbers from the rear axles or boxes of their machines will do well to conform to the provisions of the law and paint or post the numbers on the bodies of the machines. The hanging of numbers on tags or pads has resulted in an interchange of numbers in some in stances, and has led to confusion in lo cating the owners of automobiles whom the police would like to get in touch with. State and city authorities unite in say ing that the practice is illegal and that offenders will do wisely to change their plan and conform to the requirements of the law. At a conference yesterday afternoon at the state capitol between State Boiler Inspector R. H. Johnston and Police Lieutenant Frank Horn abuses of the law and the remedy to be applied were discussed. It was said after the meet ing that the state and city officers charged with the regulation of automo biles and their speed had determined on a raid of offenders, of whom there are re ported to be a considerable number in St. Paul. The law provides that the numbers is sued to owners of automobiles by the state boiler inspector must be either painted or posted on the bodies of auto mobiles. The numbers must be not less than four and one-fourth inches in height and of proportionate width. No tag or hanging numbers are permitted, for it is plain that with this manner of numbering the machines an exchange of numbers could easily t»e made, and false numbers might be "rung in" on the authorities. THE ST. PAUL GLOBE. SATURDAY, AUGUST 27, 1904 MHHEAPOLDS HEWS! TWO MEN KILLED BY A LAKE TRAIN Harvest Hands Are Run Down and Ground to Pieces Under Wheels Harold Kincaid, of Oshkosh, and Guy Cotton, supposed to be from Madison, Wis., were run down by a Great North ern lake train near Cedar Lake about 5:30 last evening. Cotton was killed instantly and Kin caid died at the city hospital shortly after being brought to Minneapolis. Fred Hoffman, a companion, jumped from the track only to see his two com panions ground to pieces under the wheels of the heavy train. The three men were walking along the tracks bound for Clearwater Junc tion, where they expected to board a freight train for the harvest fields. They heard the whistle of the west bound train and stepped from the track, not noticing that a train from the west was bearing down upon them. Hoffman saw the danger, shouted to his companions and jumped to safety. Engineer Aye'tt, of the east-bound train, applied the emergency brakes, but could not stop his rapidly moving train until after it had passed over the two men, mangling them almost be yond recognition. Arm Was Overlooked The two men were picked up by the train hands and~with Hoffman brought to Minneapolis. Cotton was dead and in their hurry the trainmen overlook ed one of his arms which had been severed at the shoulder, and not until a resident of the locality telephoned to police headquarters was it known it was missing. At the union depot there was an un fortunate delay. Neither the police headquarters nor the central police station had been notified of the acci dent and it was not until nearly twen ty minutes after the men had been left at the depot did a man hurry into the central station and ask why the patrol wagon had not been sent for the men. Sergeant Fred Johnson telephoned the union station and after some delay learned that the two men were in the baggage room. He hurried the wagon to the station. There it was found that Cotton was dead. Kincaid had a leg and arm gone and his skull was crushed. He v<as taken to the city hospital, bnt it was only a few moments before he died. Kincaid and Hoffman were boyhood friends and came from Wisconsin to make their way west to the harvest fields. They fell in with Cotton and others and decided to make their way to Clearwater Junction. It was while walking between the tracks that they were run down. Cotton was identified by a letter found in his clothing written by Ida O'Brien, of Madison, Wis., who appears to be a cousin. SALOON MEN ANGRY Nine Who Were Fined Intend to Close Town Sunday The nine saloonkeepers who were fin ed on Wednesday for keeping their places open on Sunday are demanding vengeance. The arrests were made at the instance of trie Home Protective league which claimed that the offend ing saloon men had maintained wine rooms which were frequented by wom en, but rather than to make a test of the wine room ordinance it was de cided to prosecute under the Sunday closing ordinance. Now there promises to be trouble. The Retail Liquor Dealers' association held a meeting yesterday and the nine men who paid their fines Wednesday announced that they would keep their places closed tomorrow and would prosecute all saloonkeepers who vio lated the Sunday closing law. Efforts were made to induce them to reconsider their determination, but they asserted they would comply with- the ordinance. If they were to be punished for keep ing open on Sunday they were deter mined . that others should have the same treatment. Knights Visit Minneapolis A big delegation of Pittsburg Com mandery No. 1, Knights Templar, 287 strong, were in Minneapolis yesterday on their way to the Pacific coast. This commandery is the largest in the world and has a membership of 1,205. The visitors spent a short time here and proceeded West over the Northern Pa cific. A pleasant feature of the stay in Minneapolis was the presentation of a handsome charm to Past Eminent Commander Herman Junker, who has charge of the pilgrimage. Fear a Wild Dog A white bulldog has been terroriz ing the people in the vicinity of Four teenth avenue south and Fifth street He has snapped at several children and residents of the locality fear he has rabies. The police have been unable to dispatch the animal. Drink Bill Broke Him Axel Anderson, a laborer, has gone into bankruptcy. H e has filed a sched ule of liabilities and it is found that he has unpaid liquor bills amounting to the sum of $932.37. He says his as sets are exempt. Dies From His Injuries Ed Thompson Randleth, who was run over by a Milwaukee train Thursday night died at the city hospitals last night! Randleth was found in the yards with his foot severed and leg badly crushed. He was taken to the city hospital, but did not recover from the shock. Storm's Victim Will Die Little hope for the recovery of August Moy, the twelve-year-old boy who was injured in the storm at Waconia Satur day night. He was the only survivor of the family and has been unconscious at St. Barnabas hospital since his removal from Waconia. Minnesota Bank Clerks Take Part ST. LOUIS, Mo., Aug. 26.—The feature of the second day's session of the Ameri can Institute of Bank Clerks was the inter-clty debate on the question "That it is contrary to safe banking policy for commercial banking corporations to un derwrite or trade in stocks, corporation bonds or real estate." J. M. Anderson, of St. Paul, was among those who upheld the negative. Among the papers read was one by George Lang, of Minneapolis, on "The Cereals." CROWD OF WOWN PURSUE A MAN Accused of Improper Behavior, John Hurley Flees From an Excited Mob John Hurley, who was released from the workhouse last week, had a thrill ing experience in the Hebrew settle ment at the corner "of Sixth avenue north and Fifth street yesterday, and had it not been for the arrival of four central station detectives he w TOuld have fared ill at the hands of a crowd of forty or more excited" women and men. Hurley, it is alleged, attempted to entice a six-year-old girl into an alley. Her mother appeared .on the scene, and it is said Hurley made an insulting remark to her. This was heard by a number of women in the neighbor hood, and they gave chase to the manf armed with clubs and what weapons they were able to seize. Hurley was chased several blocks, and finally was brought to bay in a wood yard. Defies Crowd With Knife Here he defied the c?rowd with a long knife and threatened violence to any women or men who might ap proach him. «. Some of the excited ones .in the crowd shouted for a rope arid others talked of making a funeral pyre of one of the woodpiles. An employe of the yard telephoned to police headquarters and the central station ivagton, with Detectives Helm, Hansen, Crummy and Brown, was sent on the run to the scene. The policemen fou#Kt their way through the excited women and when Hurley saw them he :■ dropped his knife and followed them to the patrol wagon. Hurley denies that he attempted any assault upon the little girl, b&t admits his behavior was not of a; pr#er char acter. He is marked "held" at j the police station, but the mother of the little girl will make a serious charge against him. The neighborhood was,wrought to a high tension by the fnj&aent, and had it not been for the arrival of the policemen there is no doubt that Hur ley would have been dealt with se verely. WACONIA IN NEED OF ASSISTANCE Mayor's Secretary Reports on Result of His Visit to Storm Center George P. Douglas, Mayor Haynes' pri vate secretary, who visited Waconia yes terday, reports there are eighteen fam ilies that have been made destitute by the storm and assistance from points outside of the village is necessary. The financial loss of the community he estimates at $75,000. "The eighteen families to which I refer," said Mr. Douglas last night, "have lost everything, houses, clothing and what little money they may taive had. Their loss is fully $15,000. "There are thirty or,forty other fam ilies which have sustained severe losses, but they have resources and will he able to care for themselves after a fashion. "The relief committee is well organized, but at least $12,000.is needed at once to relieve the distress that will result from the storm." W. G. Nye, secretary of the private af fairs committee, of the Commercial club, made a tour of Hopkins and St. Louis Park. At St. Louis Park he found sev eral cases of families which he deemed worthy of aid. having lost their all. At Hopkins the conditions were not so se rious. DESPONDENT MAN COMMITS SUICIDE George E.

Their operations on, Anping are supported from Gutziatzy, three miles higher up the Lianhe river and along the Taitse river, as shown in the. dispatch reporting that the Russian front, south of the Taitse river was engaged, and that Gen. Kuroki was simultaneously moving on Liandiansian along the high road, as reported from Liau-yang last night and by the fact that another Japa nese column isTnoving on Liandiansian along the south road from Siaoliridzy, ten miles northeast of Hai-tcheng. That Gen. Kuropatkin had foreseen these various moves is shown by the manner in which the attaok on Tanzapu was met and by the repulse of the Japanese at Siaolindzy. DRIVE IN OUTPOSTS The advices of the war office from the front are confined to a report, dated Aug. 24, giving an account of the advance of the Japanese column of 30,000 men along the main road towards Liau-yang, which began at daybreak Aug. 24. The Japanese drove in the Russian outposts and when the column reached a point two miles west of Liandiansian, the Japanese attempted to install batteries, but they met with such a hot fire that they succeeded only in placing one battery, which was soon compelled to change its position. At the moment of sending the dispatch the Japanese had suspended operations. The war office has no news of the reported attack on Anehan shan, and the general staff is by no means satisfied that the eastern movement of the Japanese is more than a feint. Gen. Ivanoff is in command of the late Gen. Count Keller's corps at Liandiansian. The war office was much elated this morning at the re ceipt of a dispatch from Lieut, Gen. Stoessel, dated from Port Arthur Aug. 22, reporting that the Japanese had at last been exhausted by their attacks and that the bombardment had been suspended. PREPARE TO CREMATE THE DEAD LIAU-YANG, Aug. 26.-^—According to the best information obtainable the Japanese are preparing for a desperate attack on Liau-yang, in which, the Chinese say, they are confident of success. Siege 'guns have been sent from .Yin Kow to Taliehkiao, intended for use against Gen. Kuropatkin's posi tions. A curious indication of the methodical preparations for a big battle is the fact that 10,000 wooden boxes, which it is intended to place the ashes of the killed who are to be cremated on the battle field, have been delivered in the neigfi borhood of Liau-yang and that 800 Chinese have been engag ed to burn the bodies of those who may be killed. The-disposition of the forces is as follows: Gen. Kuroki, with 100,000 men, is between Khoyan and Gutziatzy; Gen. Nodzu, with 60,000, is on the line between Simoucheng and Khalin, and Gen. Oku, whose force has been greatly depleted by withdrawals for the Port Aruth siege, is at Hai-tcheng. HERE'S A YARN PARIS, Aug. 27. —The Tokyo correspondent of the Matin declares that the Japanese minister of war has confidentially informed his colleagues that there is no hope of taking Port Arthur by direct assault and that long operations will be nec essary. Therefore the minister has-ordered the field marshal, Oyama, to avoid attacks entailing heavy losses. This, the correspondent says, has been concealed from the public. NOT SO FAST BERLIN, Aug. 27. —Dispatches to the Lokal Anzeiger from Liau-yang indicate that the Japanese have not occupied An shanshan, but on the contrary, have advanced barely beyond Hai-tcheng on the south front. One. correspondent, under date of Aug. 26, says that the Japanese hold a fortified line one miles north of Hai-thceng and that on Aug. 25 thirty-two Japanese cannon were destroyed in a battle to the eastward. HILL'S NEW ROUTE BOON TO MILLERS Continued From First Page in connection with their immense local business, a condition which as present does not obtain in the West and South." Two years ago there was a great blockade of traffic between Chicago and the seaboard. Some of the milling companies sent out solid trains loaded with flour. These were taken to Chi cago. There they were broken up and a car or two at a time hauled to the East. In more than one instance it w Tas three months before the last car of a solid train which had left Minne apolis reached the seacoast. In view of the fact that at present there is a lack of orders for flour due to the uncertain price of wheat, there is every indication of a blockade on the Eastern lines as soon as, wheat reaches a stable price and the millers begin shipments .of flour to fill the large orders which will pour in upon them at that time. The sooner the Kansas City and gulf route is in commission the better it will please the flour manufacturers of Minneapolis, say those conversant with the grain and flour trade.

LOUIS REPUBLICANS OF NINTH ELECT NEW CHAIRMAN J. Watson Smith Is Chosen to Sue- ceed James Drummond James Drummond. is succeeded as chairman of the Ninth Ward Repub lican organization by J. Watson Smith. The change in executive officers was effected at a meeting held last night by the organization at the Lincoln club rooms in the Court block. No personal objection's are charged to Drummond, but he is chief deputy to E. G. Krahmer, present county au ditor and a candidate for re-election. This was sufficient to mnke an impera tive demand for a new man at the head of the organization, and J. Watson Smith was elected to succeed Drum mond. O. A. Wendell was chosen vice chair- - man, and O. H. Oace was named sec retary-treasurer. John Larson was elected as the ward's representative on the city committee, and W. B. Webster on the county committee. There were speeches by W. L. Chapin, John T. Rosenthal, Frank Maron, Judge Gal lick's competitor, and others. The list of Republican judges for the primary and general election was selected by the organization to be submitted to the city council to be nfimed for the ward. The committeemen are said to be friendly to the re-election of P. G. Warner as chairman of the city and county committee. Injured in an Elevator Noel Peterson, an employe of Swift & Co. at South St. Paul, was injured yes terday afternoon while riding in the elevator. He stood too close to the edge of the platform and his shoulder was caught as the elevator ascended. The car was quickly stopped and Pe terson escaped with severe bruises. William Simon Arrested William Simon, arrested in Milwau kee upon request of Chief O'Connor, of the St. Paul police department, will probably be held in the Wisconsin city, where he is wanted oh a charge of burglary.
