University students will hold a mass

of the faculty thus will be determined.

the upper hand and that the students
are practically powerless, ubt they ar

student in which the council is accused
of preventing an expression of student

The article also alleges that the real
friends of football among the instruct

were very radical, being inspired by
an overwhelming desire to reform the
sport with a meatax."

f: WOMAN MEETS DEATH
Mrs. Katherine Biaeh, 912% Fourth
street N, died at the city hospital at
noon today from burns received while
kindling a fire with gasqlene early this
morning.
She prepared the fuel last night and,
being in a hurry, mistook the /gasolene
for Kerosene, and poured it into the
stove. There was a terrific exiJlosion
and the can in her hand was torn to
pieces.
With her clothing aflame, "she ran to
the street, where pedestrians smothered
the flames and summoned the patrol
wagon.
Mrs. Biach was removed to the city
hospital and lost consciousness soon al
ter arriving there. Her whole body
was burned, and the physicians had
no hope of saving her life.
She was the wife of Peter Biach,
an instructor in the Hebrew free school.
This is the second serious accident in
the family in ten months. Two months
ago. Annie Biach, 4 years old, daughter
of Mr. Biach, accidentally swallowed
several arsenic pills and died suddenly.
Mrs. Biach was 42 years old,*and had
been a sufferer from nervous trouble
for several years.
TO JOIN RUSS INVASION
ALEXANDER MUHONON DEFIES
LURKING PER IL TO ACCOMPANY
SALVATION ARMY RAIDERS.
Alexander Muhonon, 1214/Fourteenth
avenue. NB, has volunteered for the
Salvation Army's" contemplated attack
on Russia despite the fact that the
country is closed to Salvationists and
he may find St. Petersburg only the
starting point of an enforced trip to
Siberia. Muhonon is perfectly aware
of the dangers he faces, as he joined
the Salvation Army in Finland, where
its first emissaries and converts suffered
exile and. imprisonment at the hands of
the^ Russian government.
Mr. Muhonon, or, as he writes h'is
name Eussian, Arekcaudpz Arekand
pobburz Myxorerz, has lived in Russia
and is familiar with its language and
customs. Since coming to Minneapolis
he has found his ignorance of English
a great hindrance to his participation
in the work of the army and he volun
teered immediately when Commander
Eva Booth issued a call for Russian
speaking soldiers for the contemplated
Invasion.
Mr. Muhonon left today for Calumet,
Mich., where he will work among the
10,000 Finlanders in that district. If
he makes good he will be sent to Lon
don, where he will probably spend some
time the Salvation Army training
school before being attached to the
party which will invade Russia. The
opening of the Muscovite empire is not
to be accomplished in a day, and the
Army is laying its plans far in advance.
[The actual invasion will not begin for a
year at least.

SPEAKS FOR JEWS
Former Russian Political Prisoner
Solicits Help for Countrymen.
M. Gourevjtsch, LL.D., a graduate
of the University of St. Petersburg,
once organizer of the revolutionary
movement in Bussia and recently re
leased from a Russian political prison,
spoke at Finnish hall, 814 Sixth avenue
N, last evening. He is in America as
a delegate of the Jewish Bund in Rus
sia to the Jewish exiles and sympathiz
ers in America. He is delivering lec
tures in the larger cities thruout the'
United States. This evening he will
speak at Normanna hall on the Bund
and situation in Russia.
M. Gourevitsch is unable to speak
English, and addresses his audiences in
either Yiddish or German. His has
been an eventful career. Graduating
in 1893, he devoted himself to literary
work till one day compromising manu
scripts and cipher messages were found
in his home. Two years of imprison
ment followed. He was then given a
judicial hearing and sentenced to a
fortress. He gained his liberty as the
.result of a political manifesto last
^October, granting freedom to political
prisoners.
Thru his interpreter last evening he
explained that the massacres of Jews
in Russia have not been by the peas
ants, but by soldiers and thugs at the
instigation of the government, which
desires to turn one class of people
against another in order that the gov
ernment might easier regain the upper
hand.

Association Has Work Cut Out.
Residents of the eleventh and twelfth
districts of the fourth ward, which in

MINNEAPOLIS^JOURNAL
HENNEPIN INSANE
"GO TO ROCHESTER
&
BOARD RELIEVES ST.
PETER ASYLUM.
Shift of Districts Necessary Because
of OvercrowdingRatio of Insane
Sent from Hennepin Oounty Is
Lower Than Commitments/ from
Ramsey, but Total Is Larger.
Insane persons committed from Hen
nepin county will hereafter go to the
hospital at Rochester, instead of St.
Peter, and commitments from St. Paul
will go to St. Peter. They were formerly
sent to Rochester.
The change is made by the state
board of control in an effort to readjust
the population of the institutions. St.
Peter has been drawing on too large
a territory for its capacity. The capac
ity of the thlee hospitals, the popula
tion of their territory and the proper
distribution of population to the three,
is as follows:
As It
_. A A Capacity. Dist. Pop. Should Be
St. Peter 1,000 660,204 588,920
Rochester 1,200 &44.167 639,704
Fergus Falls 1,500 782,151 800,880
Other charges made by the board
take Faribault county from the Roches
ter district and give it to St. Peter, and
change Chisago and Isanti counties
from the Fergus Falls to the Rochester
district. These chSslges will give Ro
chester's district a population of 637,-
*ol. Fergus Falls, 754,869 and St. Peter
Records of the board show that in
sanity commitments from Hennepin
ccunty are fewer in proportion to the
population than in Ramsey. In the two
years ending July 31, 1902, there were
250 commitments from Hennepin, or
10.95 for each 10,000 inhabitants, and
in the same period there were 207 from
Ramsey, or 12.13 for each 10,000, The
showing in the next biennial period,
ending July 31, 1904, was better, Hen
nepin sent 270 insane to hospitals, or
9.22 per 10,000, on the basis of the 1900
census. Ramsey sent 215, or 10.42 per
10,000. SAVED FROM FREEZING,
HE WISHED HE HAD DIED
John Schumaker was rescued from
almost certain death early this morning
by Patrolman Shelly of the North Side
station, who found him sleeping in an
alley.
The man had become intoxicated last
night and wandered about the city, car
ing little where he went. He finally
became exhausted, fell on a pile of
sciap iron and dozed off to sleep. He
had removed his overcoat and was little
more than half dressed.
Schumaker was taken to the station
and this morning was arraigned in po
lice court on a charge of drunkenness.
Judge Smith allowed the man to go
and his friends took him to a phy
sician. Had he stayed in the alley a
few minutes longer it would have been
impossible to revive him.

was, "The Law and the Profits." It
illustrated in a humorous, striking way,
unfairness of the laws relating to news
papers, as viewed from an editor and
?iublisher's standpoint. He spoke, of
he lack of legal liability on the part
of the subscriber who refused to pay
his subscription.
"The doctrine of responsibility is
painfully changed in business when a
newspaper is one of the parties,"
he said. "The/ publisher finds
he has to Btand all the re
sponsibility. The editor who demands
payment of subscription is looked on as
a form of 'grafter.' And the longer
the subscriber has taken the paper, un
paid for, the bigger grafter is the edi
tor when he demands his money."
He then roasted the legislature for
lack of fairness in its payment to the
papers for circulating supplements con
taining new laws. He spoke of the way
in which legislators look upon news
paper men when more money is asked
for distributing the laws.
"And who are these legislators?"
asked Mr. Sioblom. They are the men
for whom you have boomed and boosted,
for whom you have so ingeniously lied
without price."
He spoke of viewing a legislative
session from the gallery of one of the
chambers, and compared it to a great
machine. "But," said the speaker,
"when I look over a great engine, I
like afterwards to go out and size up
the boilers. And, say, whoever heard of
an engine making terms with its boil-
ers?"
Criticizes Fair Management.
The state fair management also came
in for criticism for asking unlimited
adertising space without paying for it.
I got some money out of the fair
management," said Mr. S.ioblom, "$1
for a subscription to the Telegram. And
then when the fair time rolled around
I was invited to go out there. I did.
I called at the office, and there I saw
number of unopened copies of the
Telegram tucked away in a pigeonhole.
And 1 went home, very much im
pressed.
He said the papers of the state were
too "easy going." They looked out too
much for others without consulting
their own welfare. It has come to a
time, said the speaker in conclusion, so
that "when we are told, we grasp
firmly our little tooter, and toot."

The business session was devoted en
tirely to considering the needs of the
