Meeting I Now in Progresa^The
New Owners Are Well Known.
The reorganization of the Minneapo
lis baseball club of the American asso
ciation is being perfected this after-,
noon at a meeting in the office of the
company in' the Kasota block.
W. H. Watkins, the former owner of
the club, arrived from Indianapolis this
morning, and was met by M. J. Kelley,
the leader of the new regime. Kelley
was ready to do business as were those
associated with, him, and after luncheon
the new stockholders and the old, as
sembled at the office an*d the formal
transfer was made.
The new owners of the club are all
local men and are as follows: Walter
Boutell, L. A. Lydiard, city clerk Wal
lace G. Nye, Commercial club Senator
E. G. Potter E. J. Westlake, Commer
cial club and M. J. Kelley, formerly
manager of the St. Paul clnb.
After the transfer of stock and in
terest, the new owners went into ex
ecutive session for organization. They
will spend most of the afternoon in
planning for next year and in getting
an insight into the workings of the
club.

astute manager and one of the cleanest

ROADS BEGIN TO PAY
GROSS EARNINGS TAX
The first payment of the 1905 rail
road gross earnings tax was made to
day, when the Omaha sent in $25,000
to the state treasurer on account.
The railroads have made no sign as
to whether they will pay the increased
rate of 4 per cent, or contest the in
crease in court. It is taken for grant
ed that they will pay, however, as a
refusal would rouse public sentiment
and make the railroad issue even more
vital. If the 4 per cent tax is paid,
the state will take in about $3,200,000
from the railroads alone before
March 1.

ALREADY BEGUft
ELABORATE PLANS FOR McQUAID
BUILDING O N HENNEPIN.
Grocery Company Will Use Firfet Floor,
While Upper Stories Will Fitted
as a European HotelMuch
Money Will Spent In Installing
Modern Conveniences. 1
Under the guise of a grocery build
ing, the McQuaid Grocery company,
which erecting a store building on Hen
nepin avenue, near Seventh street, is
at the same time carrying out plans
for a fine, modern European hotel in
the same building. The hotel will oc
cupy the entire two upper floors of the
building and will have also the ground
floor frontage on Seventh street. This
will be utilized for office room and lob
by, a fine cafe, stairways, elevators,
checkrooms, etc. There is a frontage
of 67 feet on Seventh stree, the space
to be devoted to the hotel running Back
130 feet.
In November the McQuaid company
purchased an L-shaped piece of proper
surrounding the Hulett block, at
Hennepin avenue and Seventh street.
The Hennepin frontage is 100 feet and
runs to an alley which separates it from
the Minneapolis Gas company property.
The Seventh street property is 67 by
130 feet and also adjoins the alley. The
entire ground space of the Hennepin
avenue frontage back to the alley will
be used by the McQuaid company as a
high-grade fancy grocery store.
As the building will be used as a
hotel property and is not to be of fire
proof construction, it cannot under the
building ordinance exceei three stories
in height. The space on the two upper
floors will be devoted entirely to rooms
the plans calling for 110 comfortable,
rcomy apartments. These will be finely
finished thruout with modern plumb
ing and lighting.
The office and cafe will bo equal .to
anj thing in the west. Mahogany, tile
and ainle will be used exclusively in
th- i nish. All the newest hotel de
vices will be installed.
While the McQuade company is
erecting the building, it will be man
aged under lease by some prominent
hotel man. Several persons are after
the lease, but it will not be let for
some time. Under the co.ntract, the
building is to be finished by May 1.
The total cost will be about $55,000.
The Jti. N Leighton compir.y is un
der ontract to put in th i foundation,
and is working on the exca.ition. The
plans for the superstructure will bo
out soon and bids will be called for.

The law gives the homeopaths three

having been cited to this provision, the
governor appointed three allopaths yes
terday, dropping Dr. Beach of Man'ka

Governor Johnsen expressed his re

sent out, and it was too late to make
a change. If his attention had been
called in time he would not have made
the mistake.
It is Wot likely that anything further

shall on the succeeding Monday, or as
soon thereafter as I can get a hearing
beforo a chancellor in court of equity,
pray for an interlocutory injunction re
straining each and all of you from vio
lating the law against theatrical enter
tainments on Sunday, on the 14th day
of January, A. D. 1906.
Had First Trouble Here.
I propose to find out why we cannot
exhibit these pictures Sunday when the
theaters give shows, some of them using
moving pictures in which such refined
subjects as safe-blowing and train-rob
bing are depicted,'' said Mr. Houseman.
I ascribe the order of the mayor last
Sunday preventing the showing of the
pictures at the Casino rink to he local
theatrical managers.
"There are nine sets of these pict
ures and you can judge how widely they
have been exhibited! when the aggre
gate receipts since last September are
$1,100,000.' The pictures were shown
at Convention hall, Kansas City, last
week to $18,000, and at Toledo to $14,-
000. In no city have we been estopped
from showing them on Sunday, except
in Minneapolis.
I have not seen Mayor Jones, but
I understand he has said we cannot
show the pictures at Normanna hall
Sunday. I'm not going to see him
either. If I am not allowed to show
I'm going to find out why other places
of amusement are all6wed to give Sun
day entertainments. Jt is simply an
oversight that I have not included the
Orpheum and Unique in my notice to
the managers for I mean to compel
them all to close their doors 6n Sunday.
W close our engagement here Sunday
and I shall not stay to prosecute the
matter, but a citizen of Minneapolis
will be secured to act for me. at
torneys are Kickham and Scanlon, of
Chicago, who will have a representative
here Monday."
Act I Yet Unnecessary.
This is all the explanation that
Houseman will give for his action,
which is peculiar for this reason.
to date Mayor Jones has had no in
tention of forbidding the showing of
the pictures at JJormanna hallrSunday.
said at noon*j
r"
I ordered the police! to stop the
exhibition lasfcHSfcinaW t^an the com
plaint of workers in Hope-chapel, who
said it would be an annoyance to their
religious service to have a performance
given in* the rink nearly adjoining their
church. There has been no such com
plaint in regard to Normanna hall and
no one has approached me on the sub
ject so I have no intention of inter
fering with the exhibition.''
The theatrical managers disclaim any
intention on their part to interfere with
the pictures. There are suspicions on
the part of some that Houseman may
have been instigated by the Casino
rink management, which would have
the theaters closed on Sunday because
skating is not allowed at the rink, and
by others that the Sunday closing cam
paign committee of the Retail Liquor
Dealers' association is back of the
effort to close the theaters Sunday in
order to make the Sunday closing move
ment unpopular by extending it to in
clude places of amusement as well as
saloons.
Houseman denies that he has been
influenced by either of these considera
tions.
FOR WIRE INSPECTOR
Examination of Candidates for New Po

A competitive examination for the po

will be held next Wednesday morning in
the council chamber at the city hall.
There are eight applicants for the posi

ers will present themselves at the exam
ination. The examining board will con

the state university, Charles L. Pillsbury
and R. E. Daniel, the representative of
the board of underwriters
It is the intention to give a very thoro
examination, particularly as to- practical
knowledge of electrical matters, as the
office is one of considerable importance.
The principal duty will be to locate and
cause the removal of exposed wires car

ARTIST IS HONORED

Colonel Freeman Thorp of Hubert,
Minn., an artist of national fame, has
been signally successful at San Anto

fair of United States and Mexican ex
hibits at San Antonio he was awarded
the first prize for portraits in oil. His
portrait of General Edward Burleson
painted in competition for the s$ate

notable pictures in Washington', but in
recent years lived close to nature

The Phoenix has been represented in

TO RUN EXPRESS
BETWEEN CITIES
FAST THRU INTERURBAN TO E
PUT ON.
Lake Street-Merriam Park Interurban
Line Will Be Traversed Next Sum
mer by Oars Which Will Fly Betweention
CitiesOlder Interurban Lines Can
Care for Local Traffic.
Fast express cars between Minneapo
lis and St. Paul will be run over the
Lake street-Merriam Park interurban
line next summer by, the street railway
company.
For years there has been a demand
for an express service between the two
cities. The experiment was tried once
on the Como-Harriet line, but was aban
doned on account of the objection to
having thru cars go flying by when it
meant a long wait before a local car
could be secured.
With the Lake street interurban line
in operation and, with the great addi
tional power that will be available be
cause of the new substation to be
erected at Chicago avenue and Lake
street, it will be possible to establish
the express service. Purely local traffic
in both cities will be cared for by
other linjs and by the older interur
bans. In Minneapolis the Lake street
line will care for the business between
Lake Hairiet and the river, as at pres
ent. I St. Paul the Meriram Park
line, which leaves Marshall avenue at
Prior, will do the same. The local ser
vice will be further cared for by inter
urbans that will stop at all points. This
will affoul excellent and adequate ser
vice for the local needs and will re
move the objection to the express ser
vice.
The St. Paul end of the line will run
direct into the business center of the
city, as doeB the Merriam Park line at
present. The distribution in Minne
apolis will be made by transfer to the
intersecting lines along Lake street.
Naturally the East Side daily interur
ban business uses the Como line, which,
saves the slow trip into and thru the
down-town districts and the delay inci
dent to transferring. The heavy busi
ness on* the West Side can therefore be
quickly handled with the Lake street
express.
All North Side business will be well
cared for with the same express service
and the Lake street transfer. Eve ry
northside line has a Lake street inter
section and passengers coming from St.
Paul on the express, after making a fly
ing trip thru St. Paul and into the city,
can transfer to their home lines as they
are reached at Cedar. Bloomintrton,
Fourth, Nicollet avenues. The South
and West Minneapolis interurban trav
el, which is heavy, will be accommo
dated much better than at present and
much congestion in the center of the
city will be avoided.

MINNESOTA TO KEEP PRISON
PLANT GOING.
The state board of control and War
den Woifer of the penitentiary are
ready to meet the competition of 4he
binding twine trust, which is about to
start a flax twine plant ija St. Paul,
and run the prison twine ,plant out of
business by underselling in the state.
If the~t*ttetf plant cuts-into the mar
ket for prison twine, v$he state will
carry the war outside, and force the
trust to meet competition in the sur
rounding states.//
Under the present law, the prison au
thorities mav go outside the state to
sell any of the product left on hand af
ter July 1. That is late in the day to
sell twine, but if the state has any
trouble next season in disposing of its
output, the legislature will be asked
to^ change the law so the state can go
outside and sell the prison output any
time after May 1. That would give
the trust some trouble. The present
plan is to break the market only in
Minnesota, in order to kill ftff the
prison plant. The trust is not looking
for competition all over the northwest.

to his acquaintance with P. A. Seguin,
the head of the Minneapolis institution.,
Mr. Seguin came from Canada to St
Paul several years ago. He was then an
ordained priest In the Catholic church,
but was unattached. He thus came un
der the supervision of the archbishop,
who shortly afterward placed him at St.
Cloud. His work there was not wholly
satisfactory and his actions are said to
have contributed to his leaving the
church. It Is in relation to this part of
the respondent's life that Archbishop Ire
land is expected to give the court light.
Mr. Seguin has been away from home
temporarily and has therefore not been
served with the writ, but service will be
made sometime today. Mrs. Seguin this
morning stated that the charges made
against both her and her husband were
false, that they would retain counsel at
once and fight the case.

Qold Timepiece.
For being too obliging to a stranger on
the street, Ole Johnson was held np,
choked and robbed of his gold watch by
Thomas Ahern, who accosted him at
Second avenue S and First street yester
day afternoon and asked the time. John
son pulled out his glittering timepiece,
and it looked so good to Ahern that he
grabbed the owner about the neck,
choked him almost to Insensibility and
after taking the watch, ran toward the
mills.
Detectives Wlrtensohn and Lyons were
only half a block away, and seeing the
fleeing man, started In pursuit. The offi
cers overtook Ahern near the mills and

The readers of this paper will be pleased to
learn that there is at least one dreaded disease
that science has been able to cure In all Its
stages, and that Is Catarrh. Hall's Catarrh Cnro
is the only positive cure now known to the
medical fraternity. Catarrh being a constitu
tional disease, requires a constitutional treat
ment. Hall's Catarrh Cure is taken internally,
acting directly upon the blood and mucous sur
faces of the system, thereby destroying the
foundation of the disease and giving the patient
strength by building up the constitution and as
sisting nature in doing its work. The proprietors
have so much faith in its curative powers that
they offer One Hundred Dollars for any case that
it fails to cure. Send for list of testimonials.
