Judge John Day Smith of the dis
trict court today issued a warning that
is almost an ultimatum to the criminal
element of Minneapolis, especially that
element that is inclined to press its
demands on the public at the point of
a gun. Martin, Ellison, who pleaded
guilty to robbery in the first degree
for entering the butcher shop of Charles
Sather on the evening of Dec. 23, when
he shot the owner and took $50 from
the till, was given a twenty:five-year
sentence in the state penitentiary. Da
sentencing him, Judge Smith said:
I want to sayand I wish that
what I have to say could be heard by
every criminal, 'or every man crim
inally inclined in Ihis citythat if a
person is brought before me while I
have charge of the criminal branch of
this court, and convicted of breaking
into a dwelling house in the night, with
a deadly weapon in his hands, or hold
ing up a man in the street or anywhere
else, at the point of a revolver, I will
give him as severe a sentence as the
law will allow. As has been stated, in
many states of -the union, robbery in
the first degree is punishable by im
prisonment for life, and I wish it were
so in this state."
Ellison's crime was committed on
the same evening as was the Bader
murder. He was arrested a few days
later and made no attempt to, jlef end
himself. When brought before' the
court for sentence he said that, he had
worked at various trades from time to
time. A physician testified that the
prisoner was afflicted with tuberculosis
and heart trouble and his condition is
such that it is doubtful if he will live
to serve the whole of the twentv-flve
year sentence. He is 29 years of age.
His father and mother appeared to
plead his cause.
Sister's Letter Saves Him.
Because of tan
their meeting at Hennepin Avenue, lowed a light sentence, after pleading

and Fifth street, and were arrested for

that they were intoxicated at the time
of the trouble and that they had

sleep. Both boys were allowed to
plead guilty to unlawful entry of a
building and were given $10 or ten
days' sentences.
John Madden, Frank Stevens and
Frank Hanlow, found guilty of grand
larceny the second degree, were sen
tenced today. Madden was given five
years at Stillwater and Stevens four
years and six months, the court stating
that he*purposely made the term short
er that Stevens might have an oppor
tunity to get away from Madden,
whom he judges the worst of the trio.
Hanlow was given a reformatory sen*

Co- Prospective M. D.'s May Not
operate in The Gopher.
Unless a'satisf actory system of choos
ing the 1908 Gopher board at the uni
versity can be agreed upon by academic
and professional school sophomores, it
is probable that a separate medical
annual will again be published next
year. At a meeting yesterday repre
sentatives of the sophomore medical
class rejected a plan of representation
proposed by the academics and which,
the opinion of the academics, would
be a satisfactory solution of the Gopher
problem.
The plan proposed by the academics
called for the election of sixteen asso
ciate editors from the different de
partments in the following proportion:
Academics, five medics, three engi
neers, four laws, three agricultural
ists, one. In addition the academics
conceded that all the departments
should have a voice in the election of
the chiefs of the Gopher staff and
agreed that the managing editor,_ the
artist, the assistant artist, the business
manager and the assistant business
manager should be chosen at a general
election. They refused, however, to al
low the students in the professional
schools to have a voice in the choice of
an ditor-m-chie| and proposed that
this official be chosen by the academic
sophomores.
CONTROL DULUTH MILL
Minneapolis Firm Buys Big Interest in
Universal Flour Plant.
The controlling interest the Uni
versal flour mill of Duluth has passed
into Minneapolis hands, Gregory, Jen
mson & Co. of the chamber or com
merce having acquired a two-thirds
share. The one-third interest will be
held by A. D. Goodwin. The property
was owned by R. S. McCormick, the
Seattle lumberman. The Universal mill
has capacity for 600 barrels daily. As.
Gregory, Jennison & Co. already own
the Commander mill of Duluth, the new
acquisition will make them very promi
nent in milling at the^ head of the lakes.
Several important ^Duluth properties
have been absorbed by Minneapolis
capital within the past few years. Just
a year ago the McCarthy Brothers com
pany bought the big plant in the Du
luth Imperial Milling company, for the
storage facilities attached, paying about
$250,000 for the property.

snapped at several persons and at the
feet of several horses.
As it passed the bov the dog sank its
teeth in his leg and/Francis, unable to
free himself, called for help. A pedes
trian attacked the dog with his cane
and Succeeded in making it loosen its
hold on the boy. The man was himself
bitten. Before he could kill the animal
it escaped. The matter was reported
to the police officers, but the dog was
not found.
Dennis Quinn, father of the boy, at
once took nim to Dr. Frank Corbett,
city bacteriologist, and had the wound
properly dressed. It is not known
whether the dog is afflicted with ra

strangely.
The health department is looking for
the man who was bitten that it may
get all the information possible.

Acquisition of Lake Amelia for park
purposes was recommended in the re
port of President Fred L. Smith, sub
mitted this afternoon at the annual
meeting of the board of park commis
sioners. The report calls attention to
tie need of acquiring more complete
control of Minnehaha creek, and sug
gests that Lake Amelia would make a
goqd link in the chain of lakes and
parkways controlled by the board.
Nearly all the property-owners on the
lake are willing to donate land for a
boulevard, leaving little to be pur
chased. By putting a dam at the lake
outlet, it could be made a reservoir for
Minnehaha falls, giving out the sur
plus water during the dry season.
President Smith recommends that
competent engineeers be consulted to

CONDEMNS SOCIALISM
Men's Club of Church of the Redeemer
Discusses Movement.
Socialism was condemned at a meet
ing of the Men's club of the Church of
the Redeemer, held in the church par
lors -last night. A paper by W. D.
Washburn, Jr., served to introduce the
subiect. The general condemnation of
socialism was based on the ground that,
by placing men on an equality as to
earning capacity, it removed all incen
tive to sacrifice and labor, the two great
moving forces in the world's progress.
Preceding the business meeting^ and
discussion the women of the church
served supper, at the close of which
the club held its annual election. The
following are the officers for the ensu
ing years: Philip B. Hunt, president

Today the $5,000 mark was passed by
the1
Berwi memorial fund thanks to
today's contributors and the receipts
of the benefit entertainment at the Ly
ceum theater yesterday. The gener
osity with which citizens have re
sponded to the suggestion to reward
Berwin's signal heroism already has
set a record for the city, but the origi
nators of the endeavor still complain
that scores who were expected to remit
have not been heard from yet. It is
their desire that the lists be left open
for several days at least.
Today The Journal received the
following letter, dictated byhis mother,
but signed "George Milton Fish, Sauk
Center," in the laboriously-written
script of a child:
I want you to put this quarter in
the Berwin fund. I am 6 years old,
and my'papa is chief of the fire de
partment.
Accompanying the letter was another
containing a draft for $15, contributed
by the Sauk Center fire department and
forwarded by Chief George Fish.
Word was received that the Eveleth
fire department is allowing the several
others who have contributed to the me
morial. A per capita assessment of
$1.50 has beeen levied^and the aggre
gate will be near $30. The men are
fenerously paying and the sum will be
orwarded next week.
"The Alternates,"'described^in the
letter accompanying their contribution,
as A Small history club," today con
tributed $5.

Republicans Discuss Campaign for
Reform in Municipal Administration.
St. Paul republicans are waking up
to the necessity of a vigorous cam
paign for reform in municipal admin
istration and a preliminary meeting of
representative republicans was held
last evening at the Ryan hotel to start
the ball rolling. Addresses were made
bv P. Spates, H. T. Halbert. J, J.

E. B. Lott, F. H. Griggs, E. C. Mahle,
Georgje W. Walsh, John F. Selb, Charles
B. Patrker, E. M. Parish and others.
The consensus of opinion was that
the republicans had a splendid chance
of winning &t the next election, but
they raust nominate for mayor a man
of marked ability and independence
who could obtain the support of the
better element of democrats and the
independent vote. Political methods
should be avoided and, if possible, there
should be a unanimous choicft. It was
decided to hold a mass meeting in the
near future. A committee of eleven
membeijs to confer with like committees
from the Lineoln, McKinley a&d Roose

was appointed as follows: David Ham*

t*r The county attorney's office is wrest

almost within the jurisdiction of the
probation officer and the juvenile
court. An 18-year-old husband' has re
fused to support his 20-year-old wife
and their child. Another child is ex
pected and the mother needs assistance
and care now more than ever before.
Rudolph Boerner, the delinquent hus
band, has found that there is a law in
Hennepin county. When brought be
fore the municipal court he refused to
do anything toward the support of his
family. The case was carried higher
and after ten days/in jail he weakened.
He now says that he will give $4 a

PROSPECT PARK HOT
Opposing Factions Present Their Claims
to the Park Board.
Prospect Park is divided over the
proposition to convert Tower Hill and
adiacent land into a public park. For
weeks past both factions have been
working up sentiment and the culmina
tion of their efforts came yesterday
at the meeting of the park board's com
mittee on designation of grounds. The
party favoring the park presented sev
eral petitions, one signed by 200 pupils
of the Sidney Pratt school, another
from the Prospect Park Mothers' club,
another from the teachers of the school
and finally one from taxpayers in the
ark the number of 118. Former
James C. Haynes, Alderman W.
E Satterlee, Professor Haynes and
Mmes. J. L. Cable and J. D. Engle
spoke for the park plan.
The opposition was headed by Pro
fessor J. G. Moore, F. C. Nichols and
J. Eustis. Professor Moore was quite
vehement in his remarks and charged
the other faction with resorting to un
derhand methods in conducting their
campaign. The opposing petition had
240 names, but was partially circulated
outside the park. No action was taken.

^INSPECTED.

Holmes, Richmond, Landour, Trenton
and New Albion Hotels and, T. M.
Roberts' Supply Company and Day
ton Dry Ooodfl Company Looked
Oyer With Respect to Fire Safety.
Five hotels awd two mercantile build
ings were examined by the aldermanic
committee on building inspection yes
terday afternoon, the hotels being the
Holmes, Richmond, Landour, Trenton
and the New Albion, ami the mercan
tile buildings being those of the T. M.
Roberts Supply company, and the Day
ton Dry Goods company. None of these
buildings is of fireproof construction,
the New Albion hotel and the Dayton
building having been erected on special
permits granted by the council after
Jng
iermits had been refused by the build
inspector.
Naturally, the two mercantile houses
contain a great deal of inflammable
material. The Dayton building is pro
vided with $hree good fire escapes
in the rear, easily accessible. George
D. Dayton* stated that there was a reg
ularly organized fire corps among the
employees, and that they were con
stantly drilled in unreeling the fire
hose placed on each floor and connect
ed with a standpipe. All employees
are familiar with the fire escapes and
have definite instructions what to do
in the event of fire.
With regard to the hotels, the inves
tigators were at a loss as to what to
recommend. Being entirely of wood in
interior construction, the isolation of
the various floors and the hotel proper
from the basement is no simple matter
except at great expense. All have fire
escapes, but in order to reach them it
is necessary to pass thru chambers
which would be locked when most
needed. Many such rooms were found
locked .yesterday. Shavings and wood
edgings seem to be the favorite fuel,
and these, in addition to being easily
lighted, will also produce great quan
tities of smoke.
An additional fire escape was rec
ommended for the front of the Holmes
and the New Albion hotels, also one
in the rear for the Richmond. The
Landour is a model as regards fire
escapes. In the rear there is a good
one from which direct access is given
from every window. There are two
in the front and two in the small inte
rior court. The management was high
ly commended by the aldermen for its
precautions.^
After completing their tour yesteT
dav the aldermen were united In de
hotels of some valuable room, but the
first requisite of a fire escape is that
it shall be accessible. Skylights which
may be easily opened to admit the pas
sage of smoke should be provided over
every elevator nd stairway shaft. In
this way the hallways may be kept
clear of smoke until the guests can
reach a place of safety.
The committee will meet next Mon
day at 2 p.m. at fire department head
quarters in the city hall and will in
spect seven or eight buildings in the

RURAL CARRIER EXAM
Postoffice Department Wants Men tor
Station Routes.
Postmaster Hale is advised by the
postoffice department that an examina
tion for rural delivery carriers at the
Minneapolis postoffice will occur in the
near future, with especial reference to
Station F, which is the starting point
for four of the rural routes radiating
into the townships of Richfield, Bloom
iiigtonand Eden Prairie.
The regulations require that a rural
carrier shall not be under 17 years of
age, mmtt be a resident within the ter
ritory supplied by the route he pro
poses to serve, and he must be both
mentally and physically fit for the
work. The applicant must be vouched
for by four persons who are patrons
of rural mail routes served from sta
tion or St. Anthony Falls station.
The examination consists of practi
cal tests in examples of simple addi
tion and the reading and writing of
addresses. Application papers may be
obtained at the postoffice.

SATED FROM PRISON
BI SISTER'S LETTER
Warren Sehiffman of St. Paul may
spend Sunday at home instead of at the
Stillwater penitentiary or 'the St.
Cloud reformatory because his little
sister intervened in his behait in
sweet, innocent, trustful letter ^written
to Judge John X)ay Smith of the Heni
nepin county district court. The
brother was arrested in the basement
of a Minneapolis drug store and indict
ed for burglary in* the third degree by
the grand jury. He pleaded guilty,
saying that he was drunk when he
broke into the store basement with a
friend and went to sleep.
Today is the little sister's eleventh
birthday. She has not seen her brother
for a month. Her father and mother
were coming to Minneapolis to ask
the mercy of the court for the erring
^brother whom she loved with childlike
devotion. In uneven childish charac
ters she wrote a note to the court,
telling of her love for her brother and
of her hope that he might come home
for her birthday.
"But for this innocent, loving, child
like letter that would touch a heart of
stone, you boys would be given a se
vere lesson," said the court. I ant
going to give you both a chance for the
sake of this child who loves one of yon
as a brother."
Both were allowed to plead guilty to
a lesser charge and given light sen
tences with an* optional fine. In ad
dition Sehiffman was compelled to take
his oath before the court and before
his father and mother to stop drink,

FIGHT FIRE WITH SAND
Chemistry Students at University Adopt
Novel Method and Succeed.
Fighting fire with sand instead of
water is something new, but it was a
success yesterday when a class of stu
dents saved the chemistry building from
a serious fire.
Flames were first discovered in the
office of Professor Nicolson on the sec
ond floor. The students had been mak
ing a test under the fumehood and the
gas flame est fire to the hood and the
desk. Frank Frary, an instructor, or
ganized -a mra-flghttng "brigade, and af
ter trying the parent fire extemgiusheca
without results, they began throwing
and on the flames. As there is always
a good supply of sand which is used in
many experiments, the flames were soon
extinguished. An alarm was turned in.
but when the fire department arrived
the fire was out. The damage amounted
to about $25.
Gross earnings of the Chicago Great
Western for the second week of Jan-|
