HIT A NEW TACK
An Interesting sidelight has been caat on the
suit of "Jimmy" Irsfleld against Colliers' Week
ly for alleged libel by the announcement that
garnlshmert proceedings have been instituted
against the accounts of the company in Minne
apolis and St. Paul banks. A point of law will
be raised as to whether the institution of gar
nishment proceedings against the bank accounts
of a foreign corporation constitutes service.
When the suit was first filed the question was
raised that it would be impossible to secure
service in this state, as the Colliei company is
an eastern coiporation The company maintains
offices in both Minneapolis and St. Paul, how
ever, and maintains a bank account in each
city.
Under ordinary circumstances the suit would
have to come in the United States court, but by
raising this point of law Mr Irsfleld's attorneys
hope to secure service in Minnesota. The origi
nal papers were withdrawn today and others
substituted to correct a slight error in the
original wording.

Leaders of Entire State to Attend Hen

Arrangements Made for 1,200 Plates
It Will Be the Opening of "Snap
py" State Campaign.
On Lincoln's birthday, Feb. 12, the
republicans of Hennepin county, to
with the party leaders of the
state, will assemble in Minneapolis for
a grand celebration and dinner. Other
S[ennepin
olitical dinners have been held in
county, but nothing that will
compare with this affair, the arrange
ments for which already are well under
wav
The speaker of the evening will be
either Secretary of State Elihu Root or
Secretary of War William H. Taft.
Congressmen James A. Tawney and
Loren Fletcher constitute the committee
to secure the speaker, and have received
assurances that one of these noted cabi
net officers will be here. The guests
will be the entire republican county
organization, from the members of the
county executive committee down to the
precinct committeemen. Leaders thru
out the state will be invited and local
republicans not members of the organi
zation will be provided for. The ban
quet will be held in the shrine room of
the Masonic Temple, and arrangements
will be made for 1,200 plates.
Begins the Campaign.
The Lincoln day dinner will be, in a
way, the beginning of the 1906 state
campaign. I will be above all, tho, a
grand republican rally, and will be the
biggest thing of the sort ever attempted
in the state, the more so since it will
not be held during the excitement of a
campaign. The members of the county
organization, 1,000 in number, will be
the complimentary guests of the com
mittee in charge of the arrangements.
Plans for this gathering of the re
publican forces preparatory to the big
fight next year have been on for some
tune and now are practically completed.
Negotiations for the leading speaker are
not completed, but there is now every
reason to believe that either Secretary
Boot or Secretary Taft will attend. Con
gressman Tawney has undertaken the
active work of securing one of them and
says that he will succeed. Other speak
ers will be selected from the leaders
thruout the state and the straight, un
adulterated republican doctrine, well
prepared, will be served in liberal quan
tities.
Will Be "Snappy" Fight.
Thomas Girling, chairman^ of the
republican county committee, is most
enthusiastic over the proposition. "We
are going to have a snappy campaign
all up and down the line next year,"
said Mr. Girling, "and this gathering of
the workers will be but a start to what
is coming. The present county com
mittee has been holding meetings regu
larly since the last election and has
kept the organization in perfect work
ing order all the time.
We know that this dinner is almost
a year ahead of the next election, but
believe that the party organization
should be continually maintained in
perfect order and that this is' one of
the best ways to do it. With 1,200
good republicans gathered arouWd the
board and with either of the cabinet of
ficers as speaker, there will be some
thing doing^"

Lizzie Stephenson, a maid in the wom

stantly killed this morning while trying
to operate the freight elevator at that in

the employees to the hospital, there being
no regular operator.
This morning a deliveryman from
Shochs arrived with groceries and being
a new man on that route did not know
how to operate the elevator Miss Ste

spite his protests went into the elevator
and started it.
When she reached the main floor she
tried to stop it and failed. This seemed
to frighten her. She partly opened the
safety door at the main floor and at

still moving. She struck the door and fell

ADBURY HAKES CHARGES
CALIFORNIA STATE MINERALO-
GIST ACCUSES HOLDERS OF
CALIFORNIA LANDST. WAL-
KER IGNORES HIM.
Charges against large holders of Cal
if ornia lands have been made by L. E.
Aubury, state mineralogist of Califor
nia, which have been dignified with
long illustrated articles by San Fran
cisco papers. Mr. Aubury warns the
public against the prospect which the
state faces, unless the public be
aroused to the situation. I his article
the names of H. Yard, T. B. Wal
ker of Minneapolis, and others are
coupled.
Mr. Aubury says: "Hundreds of
thousands of acres of the finest timber
and richest mineral lands in the state
are being seized by the timber grabbers.
If it is exempt from entry as timber
land, they file mining location notices
on it, take out a patent later, and thus
forever shut out the prospector and
miner. Where it is open to entry they
file timber locations and swear the land
in non-mineral, even where it is known
to be rich in mineral. I know of timber
grabbers filing on land and swearing it
was non-mineral when there were stamp
mills crushing gold ore on the same land
at the time the timber location was
filed."
No specific charges are made against
Mr. Walker, tho he is named among the
other ownrp of large tracts.
When seen today, Mr. Walker
evinced little interest in the Aubury
charges, which he said had been thoro
ly threshed over and discredited long
ago, so far as they concerned any of
the Walker holdings. The fact that
there had never been a contest over
any of his acquisitions was cited among
other things by Mr. Walker as evi
dence that the California tracts had
been acquired by means wholly legiti
mate and proper.
SHOWS A FINE RECOR
WATERWORKS REPORT TOR 1905big
CITES INCREASED RECEIPTS
AND GREAT PROGRESS.
The annual report of H. Gray,
registrar of the Minneapolis water
works department, which is now in ,importance
preparation, will show a revnue of tachedh to thse voicDetectivit
$278,240 for 1905. This is an increase *n_a*
in collections of about $30,000 com
pared with an increase of about $3,000
for the year previous. The large num
ber of new taps following the exten
sion of the water-main system and the
most gratifying to the officials of the
depaitment in consequence.
Permits were issued for 2,369 new
taps in the year which is an increase of
about 500 over the number issued in*
1904.
The efforts of the depaijtment to en
courage the use of meters has been
highly successful. There have been
set about 2,700 new meters, an increase
for the year of about 800. Not until
all the taps with more than one faucet
are metered will the department be on
a satisfactory basis. By using meters
the consumer pays for just what he
uses and waste is greatly reduced.
While the revenues of the depart
ment appear to be large they do not
begin to represent what the depart
ment actually does for the city. No
credit is given to the department for
the water used for fire purposes and
street sprinkling, lawn sprinkling, nor
for water used for flushing sewers,
supplying water troughs, or at the fire
stations, police stations and other pub
lic buildings. If proper credit was
given for all this the receipts of the
department would be doubled at least.
Some day there will be a proper ac
counting for all the water pumped in
this city. Some progress in this direc
tion already has been made.
ABMOB BOARD SERVES
NOTICE O N CONTRACTO
A meeting of the armory board was
held late this afternoon to consider at
length the condition of the new" arm
ory. Earlier in the day the board held
a brief meeting and decided to serve
a legal notice on the William Porten
company to make good certain work
which was not approved by the archi
tects.
The notice was served today. Under
the terms of the contract the company
will have six days in which to act.
This step places the entire matte* he
fore the company in*,a legal way and
the future course ofthe armory board
will be governed by the reply to the
notice.
When the defects in the concrete
work were first called to the attention
of Mr. Porten, he declined to act, on
the ground that his work was first

columns or pillars was not due to poor
concrete, but to the settling of the
piles underneath. When the footings
were uncovered, it was

"The men were talking almost con

clue^ was noticed
tenar of Helm, who
was in the room pricked up, when the
possibilities in the statements were real
ized and that he took Milen aside for
a long interview after the inquest. Milen
said he had not considered the value of
Bader's habits and the places he
kept his money. Milen will rack his
brain in an effort to place these voices
and tho his success in establishing their
owners necessarily will be kept secret
by the police, it is known that consid
erable importance is being attached to
the clue.
Well Disguised.
The fact that the robbers were so
well disguised that not one of the eye
witnesses of the shooting can give any
but practically valueless descriptions
of their persons lends significance to
the peculiarities d* their voices. If
Milen can recognize, after delibera
tion, the voices of the holdups as those
of men he had seen in the hoteland
the holdups must have spent some time
there to gain the knowledge of the
placethe police will have their first
valuable clue.
Milen was the las$ witness called by
the coroner. Deteetite' Helin was pre-the
ared to take the stand, but after he
been in consultation with Coroner
Kistler, was advised by the latter not
to let go of the evidence he has "up
his sleeve." What Helin knows will
not be divulged by the police, but the
fact that he was advised to hold it, ining
dicates that some progress is being
made in the search for the murderers.
The verdict of the jury was that
Charles O. Bader had died from inter
nal hemorrhage caused by a bullet
wound inflicted by a person unknown
to them.
Jurors at Sea.
The testimony had .left the jurors as
much at sea as is the general public.
Dr. T. Quimby who presided at the
post-mortem, described the course of
the fatal bullet from its entrance on
the right side, seven inches below the
shoulder until it was found imbedded
in Bader spinal column. stated
it was the direct cause of Bader's
death.
C. G. Swallender, who was eating in
the dining-room at the time of the
holdup, and who run into the barroom
after Bader was shot, recited his for
mer story, but could furnish no descrip
tion of the robbers. C. Cool, anoth
er man who had been in the saloon,
like Milen, had been too frightened to
attempt to penetrate the disguises of
the robbers. He had summoned the po
lice. Anna Fores and Minnie Whalen,
waitresses, who had merely peered into
the saloon, could offer only general de
scriptions of the robbers.
It was established by the testimony
that the tall man had done the shoot
ing, firing into Bader before his ac
complice had finished uttering the sen
tence, it's a holdup." I was he who
then hurried over Bader's prostrate
body and looted the cash drawers while
his "pal" stood near the door and held
the men cowed. I was he. of the soft
voice who did not lose his nerve, as
did his tall companion and kept advis
ing the latter where to look for the
"big pile."

NORTHROPJ illS
FOR FOOTBALL
DEFENDS UNIVERSITY TEAM
AGAINST IT S CRITICS.
President Makes Emphatic Statement
in Favor of the Game Before State
TeachersElection of Officers for
Association a Big Feature of the
Closing Day.
Yesterday's late proceedings or the M.
E. A. on page 14.
President Cyrus Northrop of the
state university, discussed the recent
criticism of the Minnesota university
football team by an eastern writer, be
fore the high school and college sec
tions in the auditorium of the Central
Presbyterian church, St. Paul, today.
President Northrop did not hesitate to
give the charges against the Minne
sota players the lie.
He spoke of the author of the charg
es as "the miserable correspondent for
an eastern paper a pretty disciple of
'improved morality,' to come out west
and talk about football."
A recent visitor to the university,
he said, "remarked that the American
child gets his first principles at his
mother's knee} the English child gets
his first principles across his father's
knee. This eastern correspondent has
never been, he should, across his
father's knee.
"Football is here. I has a hold on
the student and on the public mind. I
cannot be driven out. But it should be
regulated.''
President Northrop lamented the
practice of betting at football games,
and sSTd it was only a game for the
physically strong too rough for the
weak.
"Nor do I believe," he said, "that
the university should play against the
high schools. Such contests are too
I even believe there should
not be so much interhigh school play
ing, as the high school boys have not
the physical development to stand the
strain.''
In speaking of general school work,
President Northrop lamented the grow
ing tendency to "crowd" students, and
advocated character building.
Papers relative to co-operative needs
of colleges and high schools were read
by George S. Inms of Hamline and
A. Cranston of St. Cloud.
The high school section elected the
following officers: President, W.
Kunzq, Red Wing E. Lurton of
Preston, vice president and secretary.
A resolution was adopted indorsing
the proposed "college of education" at
the state university.
The election for association officers
was the subject of much interest today.
The polls closed at 2 o'clock, but some
time Was recmjred in counting the votes.
The impressidn prevails that Professor
J*. Watson Cooper of Hamline is the
winner the contest for president.
School Board Members Elect.
"Essential Things in Our Public
Schools" was the subject of a round
table discussion at the meeting of Asso
ciated School Boards at the Ryan hotel
this morning.
Preliminary to the discussion the fol
lowing section officers were elected:
President, Ir a G. Stark, Albert Lea
vice president, W. H. Skemp, Cloquet
treasurer, Veytier, Hutchinson:
secretary, A. Long, Excelsior dele
gate to national association convention
in. San Francisco in July, James H.
Sharp, Moorhead.
W. N. Jamieson of Winnebago City,
who was to read the opening paper on
general subject for the taorning,
was not present, so informal talks were
at once begun. John Moe of Duluth
spoke of the importance of manual
training in the schools that in his ob
servation students who had taken up
manual training had no trouble in find
employment when they graduated.
Former State Senator Halvorson
spoke of how essential is the teaching
of good morals and true citizenship.
J. W. Olsen, superintendent of public
instruction was called upon and said he
believed Mr. Halvorson had gotten
right at the essential thing. "Charac
ter cannot be properly maintained un
less coupled with moral culture," said
Mr. Olsen. He also strongly approved
of uniting of handicraft instruction
with mental training on general school
subjects.
George B. Aiton made an address
telling what the state high school board
has accomplished. "The time has come
for us all to more seriously consider,"
he said, "ways and means of introduc
ing more of the industrial element in
our schools. We want to put more of
the idea of earning a living to the fore.
Our children can get thru the world
without education, but they must have
the purpose and ability to earn livings
for themselves."
Eddy to Graded School Teachers.
Former Congressman Frank M. Eddy
was the speaker of the day at the meet
ing of the graded school section in the
Sunday school room of Central Presby
terian church. "It is the trained mind
which rules the world, socially, morally
and physically," said
Mr.impressduring
his address,'
Decetrfcer 29, ^1905.
Eddy
and if I can upon
you the importance of thoro training,
along all lines, my remarks will toot
have been in vain.
"Seventy-five percent of the 35,000,-
000 adults in this country follow gain
ful occupations. Seventy-five percent of
these work for less than $2 a day. And
one in every five of them all, is a grad
uate of some kind of an institution. Of
the untrained workers, the common
laborers, not one in one hundred is a
graduate. But of the higher paid class,
65 per cent are graduates of places of
learning.''
Principal S. Johnson of Grove City
read a paper on "The Foreign Ele-
ment." Actual tests and statistics
showed that children of German and
