TWINS AT THE FAIR Mayor Haynes Thinks They Should Be Well Represented at the Dedication. Is Making an Effort to Get Large Delegations to 60 to St. Louis. TRIALSOFBAD 'KIDS' The Gaping Public Is Barred, for We've Juvenile Courts Now. "Short Tall Shirts" Minneapolis and St. Paul will go down to St Louis hand in hand to help dedicate the magnificent world's fair buildings and incidentally to boom the northwest Such at least are the plans of Mayor James C. Haynes who is now engaged in arousing enthusiasm for his project. I n his opin ion it is the du ty of Minneapolis and St. Paul to make a real "splurge" in the great civic parade of Ma y 2 and on ail other ceremonies connected with the dedication I t is now too late to design and construct allegorical floats or make a picturesque display but there is no reason why a strong representative delegation cannot participate in the ex - ercises and no reason why the numbers should not be sufficiently impressive to attract attention Mr Haynes has convinced himself that it will be possible for the twin cities to make a showing worthy of a community of 450 000 and he was busy to-day carry ing out his plans. This evening* he will submit a writing to the city council calling attention to the importance of the coming events and to the absolute necessity of being adequate ly represented H e will further urge an appropriation for some of the expenses of such a trip. I n addition he has sent personal communications to the Commer cial club, the Chamber of Commerce and other bodies earnestly urging them to take an active interest in the matter and to send as strong delegations as pos sible Mayor Haynes will attend the dedica tory exercises on April 30 and the civic parade on Ma y 2 H e realizes that it will not be possible to keep a large dele gation together for such a long time but the whole trip can be made in four or fi\e days and he says, it will be worth the while St Paul is very enthusiastic and is willing to join hands wi th Minneapolis in anything that will promote the inter ests and fame of the twins First Juvenile Trials Under New Nolan Law Were Conducted To-day. Judge Andrew Holt of the municipal court this morning enforced the provisions o fthe Nolan juvenile court law, for th * first time m the state When the "round ers " the police reporters, police officeis and the usual curious crowd sought ad mission to the police court this morni n? they were confronted by the big form of Lieutenant Copeland w h ocurtly said ' You can t com in e " "What's up9"ewasheie th customary reply ' Judge s orders was all the satisfac tion most of them received Judge Holt had before him two way ward girls charged with vagrancy and as both were under 16 everyone was excluded except the officers of the court and the witnesses JDven Police Matron Schaeffer was halted by the inner guard as she tried to get in and was not admitted until she had given assurance that she was a wit ness Manj derisive remarks were made b the morbid and vicious who frequent the police court hearings, but the very natuie of their ermarks proved that the law was timely Under the new law prisoners under 16 must not be confined with oldei prison ers, nor tried with them nor be per mitted to associate with them In any way Moieovei a child under 14 must not be committed to jail or prison pending trial, but turned over to a sheriff or police of ficer for proper care It vViH be no particular hardship for Minneapolis to comply with the new law for in the Hennepin countv jail there is a boys' ward separate from the jail proper while at tne central lock-up there is a woman s wa rd whei e prfsoners of tendei age mav be kept }%. * ?- "* I V " * * * _ ) GOOD FOR MILLERS British War Duty on Breadstuff Im ports Soon to Be Can- died. Also There's Prospect of Reduction on Export Flour Rates by Eastern Lines. Minneapolis niilling companies which maintain agencies in England received cable advises this morning that the im - port duties on flour as well as on gram would b ^ abolished by the British govern ment July 1 Morning paper dispatches indicated that the wheat duty alone would be affected but the millers accept their private messages as accurate Th e can cellation of the import breadstuffs duty will be a benefit in a way to Minneapolis millers who have been watching the de - velopments along this line for some time I t was Boer war tax When it went into effect Minneapolis millers were not seii ously affected by it as it was an all around tax Had the du ty of about 20 cents a bairel been levied on flour alone it would have been bad, but inasmuch as the Eng lish government also taxed wheat 3 % cents per 100 pounds and corn 1 ^ cents per 100 pounds there was no discrimina tion and the Minneapolis millers were not seriously affected Now that the ta.c comes off all around, the American miller compared with the English miller, in the matter of the relative cheapness of wheat supply is not materially affected A Poslsble Future Help. " I think," said a miller th is morning, "that the taking off of this tax will help the American export flour trade of the near future I t is not that the Minneapo lis export trade was seriously affected by the tax , nor will it be affected perma n ently by remission of it But every one kn ew that this tax was simply suicidal for Great Britain, was an emergency measure only, and every one expected it to eome off, including the English buyer of American flour. Hence a good many Eng lish flour buyers have been skimping along wi th light supplies pending the ac tion of" their government in the matter Our cable from London this morning states that the English governme nt will allow bonding facilities to July 1. This I take to mean that any flour arriving in Engla nd from now on may be placed in bonded warehouses until July 1, after which all flour will go into England free as was formerly the case There is, therefore no reason why an English buyer in ne d of flour should hesitate longer over the tax question, as he now knows just about what to figure upon " Prospective Domestic Revision. The interstate commerce division ye s terday, in the case of proposed advan tages in freight rates on, various articles, including gram and grain products, is hailed wi th unmistakable pleasure by the millers The commission's decision that the pro posed advances in the rate on gram and giain products are not just was in the form of a general investigation, and no order can be made, therefore, on the rec ord, but further proceedings will be com menced unless the respondent carriers re adjust their lates on grain and grain products in acordance wi th the views in the decision on or before Ma y 15, 1903. It is believed that this decision is an entering wedge toward acting on the com plaint of Minneapolis millers against the high thru rate to the seaboard on ex - port flour This view is evidently shared by the weste rn lines which have stood by the millers thru thick and thin, for tele grams to local freight agents from head quarters were being shown around the chamber this morning, indicating that the decision would.result in a bieak by the eastern connections Restrictions Are Being Withdrawn In Fa vor of Shippers The railroads are beginning to let up a little on restrictions affecting Minneapo lis shippers, .and while conditions are still unsatisfactoiy in many respects, they have greatly impioved within a few days Six weeks ago,when the roads were congested with business, some drastic measures weie lesorted to and restrictive orders were issued affecting all shippers, espe cially the gram and milling trades That shippers may know about where they stand, A L Scott of the Terminal Dispatch association has issued on order defining the position of the roads that have changed their orders The Gieat Noithern will now allow sys tem cars (except hopper-bottom cars which must not leave the line) to go to all points within a radius of 300 miles of terminals when final destination will not take them beyond the regulations of the delivering line The Omaha and the Chicago & Nort h western consideied as one svstem, and the Minneapolis & St Louis and Iowa Central as one system will allow system cars to move more freely anywhere withir control These roads and the Burling ton, Cedar Rapids & Northern of the Rock Island system, will allow system cars to go thru to all points on the Burlington line east of the Missouri river except Chicago and Kansas Citv proper, and will allow svstem cars loaded to all points in Iowa and Nebraska via Willmai and Sioux Falls Yailway junctions to go thru without transfei These loads will also allow cars destined to points on the Du luth Mesaba &.

The proportion of girls to boys will be much as usualtwo to one But the pre ponderance of Portias does not really in dicate that more girls than boys will go from Minneapolis to collegiate institutions On the contrary most of the high school girls will crown their education wi th roses of 1903, the majority of the high school boys will break tho rules and records of some university.
