Minneapolis Automobile Club Will Show
the City to the Hill People.
Members of the Minneapolis Automo

club has been planning a tour
to the twin cities since the club was
organized, and the announcement was
made yesterday that the trip would be
made Aug. 5, but the Minneapolis club
hopes that arrangements will be made
for an earlier start.
The trip will be made along the
Northern Pacific railway, the distance
being about 170 miles. The night stop
will be at Sandstone. A chart of the
road will be made during the trip to
sno-w -vy-liat improvements axe necessary.
The result -will probably be a united
effort on the part of the Minneapolis,
Duluth and St. Paul clubs for a cam
paign for good roads. About twenty
machines will start, and the tour wiil
be for pleasure.
FEVER AMONG HORSES
Authorities Believe "Swamp Fever"
Is Contageous.
Horses Kittson, Red Lake, Stearns
and Benton counties are becoming
much afflicted with a disease the farm
ers term "swamp fever."
Dr. Wesbrook of the bacteriological
department at the state universxty has
been making a careful investigation,
and believes that the disease is can
tagious and carried by germs. The
farmers believe it is the result of the
horses eating certain weeds in the hay
fed them, which contain the can ta
geon
shows a high temperature and a very
abnormal appetite for food. These
3ondxtion continue until the end. A.s

FAMILY EXISTING
ON BBEADCBDSTS
LUBE OF NEW WORLD RUINED
HOME IN LORRAINE.
Husband Sold Home in His Mother
Country to come to AmericaDis
appointments Followed, and the Head
of the Family Deserted His Children
and Wife.
Deserted by her husbaWd and left
with the care of four small children,
Mrs. Jacob Rudiek, 1817 Seventeenth
avenue S, lived for nearly a weels. on a
few dry crusts of bread that her neigh
bors, almost as poor as herself, had
given her.
Jacob Rudiek is a machinist by trade
and several times he has left his wife
to shift for herself. About two months
ago he obtained employment in Chi
cago, according to his own story, and
left her after promising to write aB
soon as he arrived there. The money
that Mrs. Rudiek had saved had to be
used for food. With 'four mouths to
feed this cash was soon exhausted, and
the family was reduced to abject pov
erty.
Friends in the neighborhood tried to
hep her, hut they scarcely have enough
for themselves, and for the past week
the deserted woman has lived entirely
on dry bread crusts and water.
Driven almost to desperation she ap
pealed to the poor department yester
day afternoon' for relief. A generous
grocery order was placed in her hands,
and she almost ran from the courthouse
to get the provisions and take them to
the starving children. The Humane
society offered assistance and a warrant
will probably be Bworn out for the hus
band if his whereabouts are learned.
Both Rudiek and his wife were born
in Lorraine. Thev owned their little
home and a small fairo, but hearing of
the money to be made America gave
up everything for the chance of be
coming rich. After their arrival they
gradually became poorer, Rudiek be
came discouraged and finally left his
wife to become a public charge.

BUSINESS INTERESTS
MAY FIGHT LAWYERS
Business interests along that discarded
portion of the former route of the
Fourth avenue line are getting ready
to raise a roar. Tho bar association
will roar back. When the downtown
loop ordinance was proposed the bar
association opposed the building of
more tracks on the grounds that the
line then on Fourth avenue caused so
much noise that it was at times al
most impossible to do business in the
courtrooms.
Mr. Lowry promised that in return
for the privilege of laying tracks on
Fifth street the company would aban
don Fourth avenue which has been done,
the tracks however, remaining in place.
Now the Chamber of Commerce, the
Milwaukee road and some of its pa
trons, William Henry Eustis, who owns
the Flour and Corn Exchange buildings,
and the othrr business interests on
Third street, say that they are entitled
to as much consideration as the bar as
sociation. They ask that the conpany
continue to use Fourth avenue from
Fifth street down, and Third street
either in going or coming or for the
short line ears. Petitions have teen
started and signers are sought in every
store and office along the line. The
claim is made that a large percentage
of the patrons of the Fourth avenue
line found the First avenue and Henne
pin avenue corners on Third street the
most convenient for their use waiting
for cars as well as in coming down town.
If the bar association decides to fight
there will be a lovely time. If they lose
they will be worse off than before, as
the Fifth street courtrooms as well as
the Fourth avenue courtrooms will be
over car Hne3.
CITY'S KICK RESULTS
IN CHEAPER STONE
"It often pays to make a kick," re
marked City Controller Dan C. Brown
today, when the council committee on
claims was auditing the bills of the
crushed rock trust for the past month.
It had been the custom of the trust to
bill crushed rock to the city at a uni
form price of $1.90, no matter whether
the stone was delivered a few blocks
from the plant or a few miles. The
controller and aldermen took the posi
tion that the citv should have the bene
fit of a sliding scale and in fact should
pay in addition to the cost of the stone
the actual expense for delivery. The
determined attitude of the council and
the threat to establish a municipal stone
crusher had its effect and today's batch
of bills priced the stone as low as $1.35
per yard.
HAS WON HER CHILD,
NOW GIYES IT AWAY
After securing possession, thru the
courts, of her five-year-old daughter
Edith, from her late husband's mother,
Mrs. Abbie Bryant yesterday gave the
child to comparative strangers, Mr. and
Mrs. Loren B. Jones.
Shortly after the death of the child's
father, the grandmother took charge of
little Edith. The mother brought habeas
corpus proceedings and, after a long,
hard fight before Judge H. D. Dickin
son, -was awarded the custody of her
daughter.
Yesterday, with the consent of the
mother, Judge Holt issued an order of
adoption, making the child the legal
daughter and heir of Mr. and Mrs.
Jones.

Because W. V. Kaufman didn't ob

county jail on a write of habeas corpus,
Judge Webber at ?iew "Ulm has dis
charged a writ of habeas corpus secured
there and ordered the defendant held
for trial in Brown county.
Kaufman was arrested here and in
dicted on the charge of embezzling from
the D. E. Ryan company. He secured
a writ of habeas corpus, alleging that
the crime, if there was any, was com

was released but was immediately ar

that Hennepin county had jurisdiction
and that the prisoner had been wrong
fully discharged here, but concluded by
stating that the defendant had lost his
rights by not opposing his release in
Hennepin.
The reason for the release here is
said to have been the careful conceal

produced evidence in New Ulm to show
that he had sold a car of apples belong

county, but that he had brought the
money back to Minneapolis and made
a tender of part of it to the company
before appropriating any part of it to
his own use. Thus the crime was com

HALF FARE TO FAIR
GRANTED BY ROADS
One fare plus 50 cetots is the round
trip rate granted by the Great North
ern, Northern Pacific and the Soo roads
on account of the state fair, the 50
cents to cover cost of admission to the
?erday
rounds. The decision was reached yes
at a conference of St. Paul busi
ness men with officials of the roads.
Assurances were given that every effort
would be made to protect agarnst ticket
scalping. Measures similar to those
adopted in St. Paul will be taken in
Minneapolis.
The announcement of half rates is a
matter of great satisfaction to the offi
cers of the fair. There has been no
doubt in their minds that the rate
would be given, but they have felt that
it was desirable to have it made public
at as early a date as possible. In con
nection with the previously announced
half-fare rate by the lines of the West
ern Passenger association, the territory
covered is now practically that known
as the twin city commercial district.
SIGNIFICANT NOTICE
TO THE PROCURERS
"Any woman who conducts a disor
derly house and permits young girls to
become inmates need not expect len
iency at the hands of this court," said
Judge C. L. Smith in police court today
when he sentenced Enda Spahr to
ninety days in the workhouse for con-,
ducting a house of ill-fame.
Matron Schaeffer of Central police
staon lened that a 16 ear eirl
watsi livinagr at the resort.y Thold.place
was raided by Detectives Conroy and
Lyons and Patrolman Stanley and the

Kheinhart Miller attempted to pre
vent the police from taking the'woman
and was himself locked up.
In police court Miller was sentenced
to thirty days in the workhouse and
the Spahr woman, after a severe rep
rimand, was given the ninety-day sen
tence.
The girl will be taken to the House
of the Good Shepherd today and she
will stay there for one year.
WOULD TAX THEM
City Assessor Not for Exempting Pri
vate Schools.
Educational institutions not public,
and which charge tuition, should not be
exempt from taxation, was the doctrine
laid down by Citv Assessor C. J. Minor
at a*meeting of the citv board of equal
ization today. An application came in
from jStanley Hall requesting tho can
cellation of the assessment on the ten
nis courts adioiningr the schools, which
Mr. Minor had assessed at about $t,000.
Mr. Mxnor insisted that business col
leges, private seminaries and similar
concerns which charged tuition were on
a par with mercantile houses in that
the primarv purpose was to make
money. The application for eancella
tion was not formally made.

RESIDENTS ABOUT CALHOUN
THREATEN INJUNCTION.
Won't Allow City to Reduce Present
Level and. Claim. It Is Established.
Damage Suits Threatened Because
of High WaterSchoonmaker Would
Restore Park Board's Authority.
Alderman Prank L. Schoonmaker
contemplates introducing an ordinance
repealing all measures establishing the
minimum stage o -water the lakes
comprised in the park system. Such
a course would leave the jar board
supreme in the matter of controlling
the levels of the three lakes. Person
ally he regrets that the council ever
interfered, but he cheerfully takes his
Bhare of the blame for overriding tho
authority of the park commissioners.
He was strongly favor of Alder
man Walker's proposition to amend
the Lake Calhoun ordinance so that
the level can be lowered one foot, but
when he heard that a desperate effort
was to be made to defeat the proposed
compromise he was ready to quit. Many
other aldermen have soured on the
lake light and -want to escape any more
trouble.
Captain Ewing and other residents
about Lake Calhoun now. epntend that
the council cannot lower the present
stage, having once established it. Fur
thermore, they announce their inten
tion of applying to the courts for an
injunction to restrain the lowering of
the lake, and if this fails, they will
begin actions against the city for dam
ages. With numeious threats of suits
for damages thru the present high wa
ter, the council seems to be facing
some annoying litigation.
I notice that one of the advocates
of 'high water' wants the toulevarc
raised two feet, and expresses the opin
ion that it can be done for $600," said
Mr. Schoonmaker today. "If the
work can be done for much less than
$100,000 I will be surprised. It will
cost a tidy little sum alone to raise
the grade of five miles or more of
boulevard two feet, or even one foot.
But that is only a very small part of
the expense. Much of the ground be
tween Lake Calhoun and Lake of tho
Isles is only a swamp covered with
water most of -the time. Many trees
have been killed by the high water.
It will be necessary to begin over
again to establish a new park to .cor
respond with the present stage of water
if it is to be maintained."

ALL VISITORS GO
TO NEW CAPITOL
SIGHTSEERS STILL FLOCK THERE
Guides Are Kept Busy Showing Large
Companies Thru the BuildingCar
pets Being Ruined by Tramping Feet
Prohibition Against Kodaks Is
Often Disregarded.
Fifteen thousand people a month visit
the new state capitol in St. Paul, prac
tically all sightseers.
When the capitol was first opened it
was expected that for a time people
would flock to the marble palace by the
thousand, but also that the number of
visitors would decrease as the newness
of the building wore off. Sush, how?
ever, has not been the case. The vis
itors have been constantly on the in
crease. The capitol has become one of
those twin city attractions to which all
non-residents who happen into St. Paul
or Minneapolis must visit.
The capitol is supplied with two
guides. At first these guides would take
a party of about a dozen or more at a
time. Then the number was a score.
-A-iid nr it is not unusual to see a
party of over a hundred at once in
specting the building, headed by a
guide. If any employees at the state
house earn their money, the guides do.
Every visitor to the capitol is a fu
ture walking advertisement for the
great building. "Be sure to go to the
new capitol,' 'is the word given by non
residents of the twin cities on return
ing home from a eity visit, in advising
acquaintances about to make the city
trip. The visitor tells of the great re
ception room of the chief executive
how the walls and ceilings are decorated
with thousands of dollars' worth of real
goldleaf how there is at one end of
the apartment a painting which alone
cost $4,000, with others as valuable
soon to be hung- how the rich, red
plush curtains at doors and windows are
worked with thread of real gold, an3
how beautiful is the great center table
of mahogany, which cost $800. They
tell of the grandeur of the legislative
halls of the two paintings in the sen
ate chamber, for which the state paid
$30,000. They tell of the magnificent
stone corridors, and the grand staircases
with imposing: granite and marble pil
lars on each Bide. They tell of the mag
nificent ornamentation, andv of the
matchless richness of the building's fur
nishings. These, and many more won
derful tales of the new statehouse, are
spread to the four points of the com
pass by the visitors and hence it is
that callers are dailv flocking to the
building in greater numbers.
Take "Snaps" Anyway.
In spite of careful watching to pre
vent visitors from taking photos of
copyrighted paintings in tho new capi-
tol," there are many people armed with
kodaks who are continually taking
"snaps." The governor's rooms are
particularly attractive to the "fiends,"
and the governor has probably been
snapped a hundred times the past two
or three months.
Visitors are carefully watched to see
that no defacing or marking of the
walls or furniture takes place, yet the
