Special to The Journal. Winona, Minn., June 7.The State Music Teachers convention opened aus piciously at the First Congregational church today, with a representative at tendance 01 music teachers from all over the stahe. Marc D. Lambard of Winona, assisted by Jacob L. Hjort, soloist, gave a fine organ recital. Irwin Shepard cordially welcomed the delegates to Winona. President D. Colville in his annual address emphasized the importance-of teachers getting together occasionally and said the aim of the stats associa tion was to enroll every music teacher in the state. In meeting outside the twin cities, it was sought to cultivate an interest in the different section1? of the state visited. John A. Jaeger, secretary-treasurer, reported that 1,500 music teachers in Minnesota had been supplied'with lit erature concerning the association, but not all had joined, the active member ship showing a slight falling off from last year. The finances are in good condition, the cash on hand and money due the association amounting to $550. i- MAYOR LYTLE DEFEATED. Mayor George L.

A. INSURANCE CHANGE DISCUSSED OTHER FRATERNAL INSURANCE ORDERS ARE INTERESTED. Readjustment of Rates Necessary in All Societies, Says an Authority of the Modern Woodmen of sAmericaOthers Say Changes Already Made Provide for Mortality Increase. The change in the rate plan of insur ance''in the Royal Arcanum has caused considerable comment in fraternal in surance organizations generally as to what' will be done by other organiza tions whose memberships are rapidly leaching the heavy mortality period. "All fraternal insurance societies have discovered that a readjustment of their rates, sooner or later, is neces sary, said M. W. Dawson, state deputy for the Modern Woodmen of America. Fraternal societies are coming to real ize that insurance has a commercial. Minneapolis postoffice business has value, and that the societies have no place from which to get money to pay losses except from their members. And with a better realization of these facts, fraternal societies are coming nearer a correct basis. I venture to say that the Eoyal Arcanum, with its new rates, is nearer to a correct basis than most of the others. Yet I believe the Eoyal Arcanum's oxperience has not been long enough for them to make up an abso lutely correct rate-table. "Will it ever be necessary for the Modern Woodmen of America to further increase their rates? I am afraid I will have to answer honestly, yes. Yet without taking into account the growth of the society and the taking in of younger blood, the Modern Woodmen can operate on the present rate-tables for ten years before reaching a stage where twelve assessments a year will be necessary. At that time, rates will doubtless be readjusted and the society will be in a position then to prepare a new table, which will be absolutely safe and permanent for all time to come. The hardest thing frateraals of stand ing have to contend with today is the organization of new fraternal societies operating on an inadequate, too cheap, E.' M. Weil, state manager for the Woodmen of the World and publisher o their official paper in Minnesota, the Stump, said: I have just returned from the meet ing of the law committee and the sov ereign camp (the national organization of the order) at Chattanooga. The situation* was then thoroly gone over, and it was decided that absolutely Wo change was, or would be necessary in Woodmen of the World rates. We con sider the existing rates to be sufficient ly high to be safe for all time to come. A demonstration that our rates are right is shown in that since their adoption four years ago, we have paid every death loss, and at the same time have created a reserve fund of $2,500,000. Carefully prepared estimates lead us to believe that our rates are sufficient to meet all demands when' the present membership becomes old and the mortal ity greatly increased." John Kennedy, custodian and assist ant financial secretary for the Knights of Columbus, gives the following state ment for his order: "The Knights of Columbus were or ganized in 1882, and on a plan which it is believed will assure permanency to the insurance feature 01 the organiza tion. This plan is a graded schedule of assessments. Every five years the monthly assessment of the insured is in creased. At the age of sixty this in crease ceases an*d there is a flat rate charged, which will meet the increased demand for payments among the aged members of the society. The Knights of Columbus do not claim their insur ance is the cheapest, but they do claim it is permanent on the present basis." E. N. Young, Jr., past high chief ranger of Minnesota for the Independ ent Order of Foresters, says: "The fact that the insurance rates of our society are perfectly safe, is shown in that we now have a surplus on hand of $8,716,518, which is increasing each month $60,000 to $80,000. Our income will vastly more than meet the increase in mortality. A safe feature is that the sick benefits to members are not paid out of the national treasury, but are met by the local dues of each re spective lodge." Shirt Tailors and Monogram Work. Hoffman'sTwo StoresTry Us! FIREMEN HAVE REQUEST WOULD ASK CONGRESS TO COM- PEL UNIFORMITY IN FIRE FIGHTING APPARATUS. An effort is to be made by the Minne apolis and St. Paul fire departments to have congress pass a law requiring uni form connections for fire hose in all cities maintaining departments. Under the present systems every city has its own screw thread, and hose or engine companies from other cities can not connect with them. In the past year it is said that property worth mil lions of dollars has been destroyed in large cities of the country because help from other cities was not obtainable. At the time of the great Baltimore fire other cities sent their engines but only in a few instances could they be con nected. Even in Minneapolis and St. Paul the connections are not uniform. The de partments, however, have a stock of special hose connections that can be fit ted to the hydrants in either city. These appliances are kept at the headquarters in each city for emergency use and the fire companies near the dividing line are supplied with them. ^By this ar rangement the twin cities are able to aid each other. Other cities in Minne sota, however, could not possibly get substantial aid from outside. Even the fire equipments on the dif ferent government reservations are not uniform and Chief Canterbury said this morning that it would probably be an easy matter to get such a bill thru. The councils will help push the matter and the bill will be introduced at the next session of congress by some Minnesota representative. It will mean the sav ing of a large amount of money annual ly and on that account strong support is expected from the east. WOULD REOPEN EMPIRE New Application for License for So dini's Former Dive. A. H. Schofman has applied to the city council for a theater license for 208-210 Washington avenue S, former lv notorious as the Jumbo, Columbia and Empire. At the city clerk's office Schofman was unknown and the city directory does not contain the name. Ii* Mr. Schofman will give assurance that there will be no connection be tween the theater and the saloon ad joining and will remove the existing passage he will probably get a license. The quartermaster general of the army has announced, thru Colonel Rob inson of the department of Dakota, the award to Barrett & Zimmerman, the Midway horse dealers, of a contract to furnish 176 artillery horses and four cavalry horses for various army posts. The Midway concern competed in bid ding with all other large horse dealing markets of the country, & WORKING FOR A it NEW P. 0. HEREL MR. FLETCHER WANTS ONE COVER A WHOLE BLOCK. shown remarkable growt- and-the"ne- cessity of preparing for the future is apparent to the department. A bill for an appropriation sufficient for the purchase of the ground will be intro duced this winter and, if possible, the site will be selected and purchased at oner. The work can then be done by annual appropriations. To Cut Out Stairways. A building covering the grater part of a block is contemplated so that the working and sorting rooms may all be on the ground floor. With tho exception of a two or three-siory front, the great er part of the building will be, but one story high. This style of building has been found the most convenient. The department in the last few years has advocated the purchase of less expensive sites and the erection of buildings more for use than ornament. It has also adopted a policy of build ing for the future. Were there a large union railway station in the city, the government would advocate the erection of the building on property immediately adjoining, so that mailcars could be switched into' the postoffice. At pres ent the government pays $11,000 a year for carrying Minneapolis mails to the stations, and this expense could be done away with. Deficit in the Way. 'There will be one great obstacle in the way," said Mr. Fletcher today, 'and that is the condition of the treas ury. For the eleven months ending June 1, there was a deficit of $37,000,- 000. Our revenues are constantly in creasing, but not as fast as our expen ditures. The result is that we are run ning behind. The president is advocat ing extensions of the navy and the army, all of which comes out of the cur rent revenues. This means that important river and harbor improvements and improvements in public biuldings will be hindered. Our revenues must increased in some manner, for the expenses cannot be re duced. In addition to this, the presi dent and others propose a revision of the tariff which will further reduce the revenues. "The building of the isthmian canal from the current revenues has already resulted in the expenditure of between $50,000,000 and $60,000,000 from the fund that would naturally be used for internal improven ents. From the first I advocated the construction of the canal by the issuance of long term, low per cent bonds, thus throwing the load of building the canal on the future, where, I believe, it belongs. "The only way I see for providing for the necessary improvements of the next few years is to return the large amount already expended on the canal to the treasury where it belongs and to bond the canal work. Then, if more is needed, we can call for an additional stamp revenue similar to the war tax levied during the Spanish war. The first principle in any business is that the income must at least equal the necessary expenditure before anything can be done." Too Many Straw Hats, $1, $1.50, $2. Hoffman'sTwo StoresGet one! WHEAT GRADING MAY BE CHANGED CHAMBER IS DIVIDED AS TO CON TRACT GRADE. Strong Following on Both Sides of the Question Promises a Merry Contest When the Subject Comes Up for Consideration on June 14.Another Storm Brewing. Wednesday, June 14, has been fixed upon for the decision of the question of the change of contract grade in wheat. No sooner was the announcement made than the exchange floor at the Chamber of Commerce was dotted with groups of men arguing the matter. The opposi tion to the measure began immediately, as also the advocacy of its passage. A big fight "will be on when the polls open. If the proposition goes thru, No. 2 northern wheat will be contract grade in Minneapolis instead of No. 1 north ern, this effective after Sept. 30 next. W. S. Warren, former president of the Chicago Board of Trade, who recently joined the Minneapolis Chamber, was on the floor today. Mr. Warren is averse to mixing in the controversy and it is uncertain to which side his influence will go, but, he says, he favors mainte ance of a high grade for contract. Another fight broke out at the Cham ber at noon. The assesssment proposi tion of yesterday, that'would levy an annual tax of $20 on every membership for three years, is to be voted on at 3 p.m. Tuesday, JuWe 13. Opposing mem bers claims this is a plan to carry it by vote of acclamation. The objectors ask that the directors reconsider it and make it subject to regular ballot, at 10 a.m. and a petition to this effect received numerous signatures. SEEK AN INJUNCTION Electrical Manufacturing Company Is After W. I. Gray & Co. The Western Electrical Instrument company has begun suit in the United States court against the Chamber of Commerce, alleging that a switchboard manufactured by W. I. Gray & Co. of Minneapolis is identical to the Key stone switchboard manufactured by them, is being used. An injunction is asked and the defendant has' been sum moned to appear tomorrow morning be fore Judge William Lochren to show cause why it should not be granted. SCHOOL PRINCIPAL NAMED.

The appointment takes ef fect next September. Mr. Cleary has been connected with Beloit college, Be loit, Wis., and stands high an an edu cator. M'Z' Wednesday Evening, THE ^MINNEAPOLIS JOURNAL, June 7, 1905. TO Congressman Has Been Consulting with the Postmaster General and the Gov ernment Architect About ItThe Building of a New Union Station Would Determine Location. Congressman Loren Fletcher has un dertaken the task of securing a new postoffice building for Minneapolis. The new building is to be exclusively for postal service and the present building retained for the use of the other federal offices. The cost of the building and site will be from $1,500,- 000 to $2,000,000, and about $500,000 of which will be for the site. Mr. Fletcher has already taken the matter up with the postmaster general and the government architect. The INCINERATOR TOO FAR FROM CITY MANAGER OP MANUFACTURING OOMPANS DISCUSSES LOCATION. Experience of Other Cities, Which Adopted Garbage Crematory Plan When Its Success Was Demonstrated Here, Proves that More Central Lo cation Would Be More Economical. Since Minneapolis, four years ago, put up the first Decarie incinerator for the destruction of garbage and refuse, the city has attracted a great deal ot attention from municipal health and sanitary officials, and nearly every large city has at one time or another had some representative to inspect the plant at the workhouse. In conse quence of the success of the pioneer incinerator of this type, Atlanta, Ga. Brooklyn, Johnstown, Pa. Spokane, Wash. Muncie, Ind., and Tampa, Fla., have followed the example of Minne apolis, while Lowell, Mass., and Los Angeles are now installing the same system. It is worthy of note, however, that while Minneapolis has shoved the crematory as far out as possible, the cities above mentioned are saving thou sands of dollars annually and handling the garbage much more expeditiously by constructing the crematories as close as possible to the business center of the city. In Atlanta the garbage, plant is located within four blocks of Mari etta street, the main street of the city. It stands in plain sight of one of the most prominent corners of the city. In Spokane, the crematory, or in cinerator, is located near one of the bridges near the principal section of the city. John M. Root, general manager of the manufacturing company, thinks that it would be a great benefit to Min neapolis if the crematory were moved from the workhouse to Hall's island. "The idea of hauling garbage five miles naturally causes unfavorable comment from those who come to this city to study the garbage question," he said today. "With the crematory on Hall's island the health department could do the present work with one half the men and teams, which would mean the saving of several thousands of dollars annually, or the present force could do twice as much work, giving daily service to sections of the city where collections of garbage are made semiweekly, and extending the collec tion to parts of the city which are not thus benefited. Either alternative is desirable and Bhould be seriously con sidered by the council. As I understand it, the only objec tion to the removal or the incinerator is the assumed one that it gives out offensive odors. As far as that feature is concerned the plant could be located right on Nicollet avenue and no one would find the smoke any more offen sive than from any steam plant. As a matter of fact, it would not be near ly so offensive. In view of what the other cities of the country are doing, Minneapolis should not hesitate long to derive the benefits which will surely follow." CHIMES IN FACULTY SHIFTING OF INSTRUCTORS AN- NOUNCED BY PRESIDENT OF WI- NONA NORMAL SCHOOL. Important changes are to take place in the makeup of the faculty of the ^tate normal school at Winona, before it opens this fall, according to Dr. G. E. Maxwell, president of the institution', who is registered at the National hotel today. Among the new teachers will be Miss Isabelle Austin, of Minneapolis, who is studying in Speyar school, Columbia university. She "will become super visor of the intermediate department in the Winona school. Mrs. Irene Mead will return? this fall and take charge of the department of literature. The succeeding year Mrs. Mead is to become secretary and regis trar, succeeding Mrs. Grace Hopkins, who will retire. Professor Gaylord is to be absent the first term and will spend the time in special study at Stanford and Harvard universities. Miss Jeane Weidenstall, a fellow in the Chicago university, will fill Professor Gaylord's place. Miss Jeannette Morey has resigned as a critic teacher in the grammar grade, and will be married. Her place will be filled by Miss Sallie Buck of Winona. Miss Ann Clarke, a teacher fn the Winona public schools, is to becomede assistant in the normal kindergarten1 partment. SON MADE SHIFTLESS BY TOO MANY SMOKES On complaint of his own father, I. A. Gonyea, a special policeman, Fred Gon yea, aged 19, was this morning sen tenced to ninety days in the workhouse on a charge of vagrancy. The father says that altho he has al ways been good to the boy, it has been impossible to keep him at home. Fred offered no excuse court, and said that he only made money enough to keep him in cigarets. According to the fath er the cigaret has been the cause of all the boy's trouble, and he will be cured of the habit by the usual method, at Camden Place. CISARSKY MUST EXPLAIN He Must Give a Good Excuse or Forfeit Liberty. Deputy United States Marshal Will iam Grimshaw, Jr., has served papers on Joseph Cisarsky to appear before Judge William Lochren of the United States court, to show cause why he should not be committed to the county jail for contempt. He was ordered by O. C. Merriman, referee in bankruptcy, to turn over $800 to Oscar Ertsgaard, receiver. It has now been fwo weeks since the order was issued. The petition for the order to show cause alleges that the money, was wrong fully withheld from the receiver, and that the bankrupt attempted to leave the city, but gave that plan up when he learned that he was under the eyes of a detective.
