A FIGHT FOR MEN
Eailroad and Steamboat Companies
at Duluth After Men to Fill
Strikers' Places.
They Appeal to Minneapolis Agents
labor Organizations Try to
Keep Men Here.
An effort by the employers of the
striking freight handlers at Duluth to se
cure men from Minneapolis to take the
places of the stiikers is likely to be
blocked by the Trades and Labor Council
of this citj Orders for several hundred
men to handle freight in the zenith city
were received this morning by the vari
ous employment offices in the city The
officers at labor headquarters were also
notified and will do their best to dissuade
men fiom going
The btrike which has been in progress
but a few days, is tying things up and the
need of relief is uigent The strikers
thought that theii demands would be ac
ceded to as soon as the blockade became
so stringent as to compel the employers
to ' hustle' for relief They were mis
taken however and the order for men
from Minneapolis was the way in which
the railroad and steamship companies
sought to outwit the strikers
The labor organizations may be able to
dissuade men from going to take the
places of the strikers If they succeed,
the strikers will feel that it will be but
a few days until the employers will be
forced to accede to their demands

Catarrh
Invites Consumption
It weakens the delicate lung tissues,
deranges the digestive organs, and
breaks down the general health.
It often causes headache and dizzi
ness, impairs the taste, smell and
hearing, and affects the voice.
Being a constitutional disease it re
quires a constitutional remedy.

MONDAY EVENING,
SEEING THE SOLONS
The Minneapolis Auditorium Flan Is
Presented by an Enthusiastic^
Delegation.
Special Report for the Hennepin
Members Will Be Made
Wednesday.
Members of the Hennepin legislative
delegation this afternoon received peti
tions signed by 200 representative business
men asking them to vote favorably on the
proposition to increase the bonds to be
issued foi the completion of the court
house and city hall building from $400,000
to $500,000 in order to provide for the con
struction of an auditorium in the open
space in the center of the structure E
J Phelps W L Harris and F B Long
outlined the plan to the commission It
is understood that a majority of the mem
bers of the delegation which went into
executive session will support the move
ment
The proposition is m the hands of a
subcommittee consisting of Messrs.
Shearer, Gillette, Shove, Helliwell and
Girling The committee is to investigate
the feasibility of such a scheme and report
Wednesday to the delegation Mr. Girl
ing s idea is to add $15,000 or what may be
needed to the armory bonds which now
amount to $150,000, and build an audi
torium under the same roof as the
armory, so arranged that the drill hall can
be thrown in as part of the auditorium for
larger assemblies
Measurements of the university armory
and the Swedish Tabernacle made by the
promoters of the new auditorium plan
show that the proposed music hall can be
made to accommodate more people com
fortably than the largest two Minneapo
lis auditoriums, excepting the partially
dismantled Exposition hall
The University armory will seat 2,200
on the ground floor and 850 in the bal
cony. The Swedish Tabernacle can seat
2,000 people comfortably It is estimated
that the new hall can accommodate 3,000
people, and that its capacity could be still
further increased by the utilization of
greater balcony space B y "comfortable
seats" the promoters mean standard opera
chairs
Even more space can be created says
W L Harris, by following the plan of
Italian opera-houses, where the floors are
ten feet below the outside level
Mr Harris says he is more enthusiastic
than ever over the architectural possi
bilities of the plan H e says the con
struction of the proposed hall should in
nowise postpone the erection of an im
mense auditorium with a seating capacity
of from 5 000 to 12,000 people H e finds
that many business men favor the issu
ance of bonds for the completion of the
building only on condition that the audi
torium should be constructed
A WOMAN'S KIND ACT
In Driving Bain Picks Up Fruit for
Nonplussed Peddler.
Most unexpected touches of humanity
ciop out on the street Saturday in a
drizzling rain a Greek fruit peddler was
pushing a cart loaded with bananas down
Nicollet avenue At the Sixth street
crossing the front end of the load fell to
the asphalt The cart was one of those
unevenly balanced affairs swung on to two
big wheels It was up to the Greek to
hold up the loaded end of the cart with
one hand after reaching the other end like
a man feeling his way along the roof gut
ter of a ten-story building get the ban
anas with the other H e tried first one
hand, then the other until a crowd had
collected to watch the luckless fellow s
efforts, but none offered to help The
Greek had about decided to dump the
whole load and pile it over again when
a richly dresed woman stepped from the
surb to the cart dropped her skirts in the
mud and in an apolegteic manner threw
the fruit into the cart with one hand
while she shielded herself against the
driving rain with the umbrella in the other
hand Then without looking at the ped
dler she hurried unceremoniously to the
other side of the stre'ET with a half guilty
look on her face and disappeared in the
crowd

A BIG WAR PREDICTED
Events in the Balkans Said to Be
Drifting That Way. * * .
London, April 13With the inevltable
ness of fate the course of events in south
eastern Europe shapes without pity or
deviation towards a sanguinary struggle.
Like many another crisis which has
ushered momentous changes in the desti
nies of historic races, an unforeseen event
has broken in on the calculations of states
men. This event is the murder of St
Cherbina, the Russian consul at Mitro
vitza. Allowing for the vast contrast in
political conditions, it may be said broad-1
ly that the shot which ended the Russian
agent's life had in it for Turkey's domin
ions in Europe possibilities akin to what
the blowing up of the Maine had for
Spain's empire in America. It is a dif
The esentence of fifteen years' imprison
The sentence of fifteen years imprison
ment imposed on the Albanian soldier,
Ibrahim, whose shot was calculated as ac
curately as a murderer's ever was,
amounts to an insult to t
ment That the sultan would gladly have
him executed nobody douDts, but Abdul's
bodyguards are Albanians of the most tur
bulent type, drawn from the same bands
that attacked Mitrovitza The giand
vizier, Ferid Pasha, is an Albanian Hi s
chief favorite, Ized Bey, is an Albanian,
and his chief chamberlains, Emm Bey,
Seifoullah Bey, Adji All Bey and Raghip
Bey, are all Albanians They will bring
the necessary pressure to bear on the sul
tan, who is almost as much at their mer
cy as were formerly the Roman emperors
in the hands of their Pretorian guards
It is becoming more apparent and prob
ably more plain to the Russians themselves
than to others that the Macedonian reform
scheme is not going to solve the Balkan
question.
Supposing that the concert of Europe
be substituted for the Russo-Austrian
combination, there is even less hope Mu
tual jealousies would make anything ex
cept negative action ineffective
The tory newspapers of London brave
ly declare that England will never allow
Russia and Austria to divide Macedonia
between them, though it is difficult to see
who, except the Turks, could prevent them
if they could agree on the partition, but
they will never agree to it while Russia
rates Austria's strength so cheaply.

WOMAN GETS THE LAND
Celebrated Civil Case In Lincoln County
Settled by the Principals.
CANTON, S DA noted civil action
which has cumbered the docket of the
district court for about ten years has been
settled The case involved the ownership
of a valuable quarter section in Norway
township The land was taken as a home
stead in the seventies by John K Moen,
who died some time afterwards, and the
title parsed to his brother, John J , who
claimed to be the only heir. About a
year after there came from Norway a
young woman, Johanna Bertena Johns
dotter Moen, who asserted she was the
illegitimate daughter of John K Moen
After many fruitless efforts to settle the
matter, it was finally taken into court
where a verdict was returned in favor
of John J Moen The case was taken
to the supreme court, however, and that
body reversed the decision of the lower
court, deciding that the plaintiff was en
titled to the land And now, to avoid
further litigation the principals have re
cently perfected a permanent settlement
whereby Johanna Bertena Johnsdotter
Moen, who is now Mrs A Tvedt, becomes
the undisputed owner of the land.
