STARTS MANY GASES
After worrying for more than a
month over the source of the smallpox
contagion in this city. Health Com
missioner P. H. Hall finally has been
rewarded by obtaining the information
he desires.
The discovery was made thru Anton
Ferguson, 509 Tenth avenue 8, who
developed a case of smallpox and was
removed to the quarantine hospital last
night. Thru him it was discovered that
the original source of the seven cases
which nave bothered the healt hdepart
m*nt for several weeks came from one
of the large hotels in the city.
The patient in this case, a young wo
man, was treated by a physician, but
was not quarantined and the case was
not reported to the health department.
This physician will have some explan
ations to make in due course of time.
Other cases may develop, but that a
serious epidemic was not started is
almost a miracle, as hundreds of peo
ple were exposed.

WOMAN IS ROBBED OP
SAYINGS IN ELEYATOR
Miss Lottie Koop, 1418 Vine place,
was robbed of $125 in an elevator in
the Metropolitan Life building Thurs
day by an unusually clever thief.
She had just drawn the money from
the ^Security bank and went to one of
the upper floors on business. On her
way down the elevator was crowded,
and as she was unaccustomed to riding
in an elevator she started when the
elevator began to descend. At that
moment she felt a tug at her purse, but
paid no attention to it. The purse was
attached to her wrist with a heavy
leather strap and she thought it secure.
As she stepped from the elevator she
looked down and the strap still hung
to her wrist, but the purse was gone.
She looked about for some one who was
in the elevator with her, but all had
disappeared, and she had to appeal to
the police.
The loss is keenly felt by Miss Koop,
who lives in a small town and had saved
GARS TO USE HENNEFIN
THIRD INTEBUBBAN ELECTRIC
LINE MAY BE EXPRESS SERV
ICE BETWEEN TWO CITIES.
By the middle of April a new street
car line will probably be operating on
Hennepin avenue from the center of the
city to Lake street. In routing the
proposed third interurban line via Mar
shall avenue, St. Paul, and Lake street,
Minneapolis, it is probable that the
street railway company will bring it
into the center of the city by way of
Hennepin avenue.
Altho it is not yet officially an
nounced, $his liue will be the fast thru
express service line. The distance from
center to center of the two cities is not
much greater over the Lake street line
than over the old interurban, and the
route has the additional advantage of
offering direct transfer privileges to
practically every city line at the junc
tion of those lines and the Lake street
line.
As has already been announced, the
twin city company purposes to tunnel
the Selby hill in St. Paul, doing away
with delays on the grade and making
possible much faster schedules over the
line. At present there is considerable
delay caused by the cable hoisting serv
icenow necessary.
Rumors of a special midday rate on
the Minnetonka line, to apply during
the quiet hours of the day, have been
heard, but are not confirmed by the
company. I is stated by interested
persons who profess to be well in
formed, that a 35-cent rate is to be
put into effect in the hours intervening
between the heaviest morning and eve
ning travel. This rate: it is said, would
attract people who wish to spend the
day at the lakes and would at the same
time make business for the line during
the quiet hours of the day.

the Milwaukee is cited to show why
it should charge a higher rate on ,coal

THE MINNEAPOLIS JOURNAL
TELPfiOraiOR
OF CODE SITUATION
COMMISSION WARNS HIM OF DB
LAY I N PUBLICATION.
He Asks for a Written Statement and
Is Opposed to Extra SessionPrint
ers Walt for Proofs and the Best
They Can Do Is to Supply First
Copies Feb. 27.
Governor Johnson was brought to
face the proposition today of an extra
session or the legislature. He will not
call an extra session unless something
happens to make it imperative. It now
seems that some copies of the code will
be out March 1, and with that prospect
the governor will not consider an extra
session.
The code commission met in the office
of the secretary of state and requested
the governor to come into a conference.
Mark H. Dunnell, the editor, and a rep
resentative of the printers, were pres
ent. The code commission wanted the
governor to understand the situation,
that there would be close connections
between publication of the code and its
taking effect March 1. They did not
ask or recommend calling an extra ses
sion, but wftnted him to consider the
facts and act accordingly.
Governor Johnson asked that any
such statement be made to him in writ
ing, as a matter of record.
The code is not ready tor the binders,
as the editor has not been able to fur
nish revised proofs on the index. He
promised today to have the last proof
in by next Thursday. The printers say
if this is done they will be able to de
liver the first installment Feb. 27. They
can turn out about 200 copies a day by
working day and night. The first copies
will be sent to judges of the supreme and
district courts, the next to heads of
state departments, and then county
officers will be suppled. The general
public will have to wait for its copies
till the officials are taken care of.
Judging by past delays it is not
thought likely that the first copies will
be distributed sooner than March 1.

LONG LAKE YOTES TO'*-"*
ORGANIZE YILLAGE
In order to forestall the announced
intention of the Great Northern rail
way to remove the railway station at
Long Lake, the voters have incorpor
ated the community as an organized
village.
Several attempts have been made in
the past to secure village government
for Long Lake, but they were defeated
bcause the promoters covered much ter
ritory in which the sentiment was op
posed to incorporation. The new village
takes in only 135 acres, being less than
a quarter of a square mile in area. The
vote was overwhelmingly in favor of
the action, there being only two nega
tive votes out of a total ox forty-four.
The first election will be held in a
few days. It is conceded that David
A. Lydiard, father of City Clerk L. A.
Lydiard of this city, will be the first
president. The community is experi
encing a business revival, having re
cently acquired a bank and a news
paper, and is about to build a canning
factory.
The incorporation was hastily con
ceived and carried out. The report
that the Great Northern road was con
templating a removal of the depot be
cause of the steep grade at the present
location alarmed the little community
considerably, as it would have destroyed
real estate value by transferring the
business center to the locality of the
new station. The statutes provide that
railway companies must maintain sta
tions in every incorporated village and
Long Lake now feels secure.

than one county division petition from
the same county may be considered at
one time. The secretary of state noti

Itasca county petitions on file. The gov
ernor holds that under the law only one
of these, the first filed, can be consid

the two petitions.

It was explained in defense of the
board that the opportunity tor acquir
ing a valuable property on favorable
terms should have been accepted as
the conference will gain in the end. To
build and equip such an institution as
the Minneapolis academy would cost
much more than the amount involved
in the transaction.
The delegates, while conceding that
the board of directors had exceeded
their authority, seemed to be satisfied
that a wise course had been assumed,
for the report of the board was ap
proved by a decisive vote.
School Fund Divided.
On the question of division of the
school fund derived by a 20-cent tax
on communicant members it was de
cided to appropriate 80 per cent to
Gustavus Adolphus college*. St. Peter,
and 10 per cent each to Minnesota col
lege, Minneapolis, and Northwestern
college, Fergus Falls.
The collection for educational pur
poses in the Chisago, St. Paul, St. Croix

northern Minnesota valley, southern

Axel Anderson, Minneapolis, and Dr.

Continuing the governor admitted
that Mr. Lawson is a self-contessed
stock manipulator and a former member
of the same ring which he is now and
has Deen for months attacking. It
is not strange," said he, "that few
people felt confident that Lawson was
sincere." The governor made much of
the fact that the damaging statements
and assertions of Mr. Lawson, many of
which if impossible of substantiation
wduld be sufficient to secure his con
viction of criminal libel, have never
been refuted and have stood every test
alone.
The fact that the Boston man makes
no attempt to except himself in his
statements or to clear himself from
the charges he is placing at the doors
of his former associates, is taken as
another evidence of sincerity by the
governor. "Mr. Lawson has never de-
nied," said he, "that he was equally
blameworthy, and that he should be
called to account with the others.''
Remedy Comes Later.
"People say: 'Why doesn't he give
us the remedy!' I believe he will, and,
later on, when he suggests it, I think
it will be found a simple one. The mam
fact is not his suggestion for a remedy
but that he has given the American
people the facts from the inside, such
as we have never had before.
"And that is the reason why, when 1

JAPAN APPRECIATES
ASSOCIATION EFFORTS
Renewed zeal and insporation for
work filled his audience last night at
the Y. M. C. A. building as W. Helm,
associate national secretary for Japan,
talked of the unselfish work of the as
sociation secretaries among the soldiers
of the Japanese army in Manchuria,
and of the personal interest taken in
the association by leading government
officials and business men of Tokio and
other cities
The address followed a supped given
for association committee members and
directors, and men of prominence who
had been invited to meet Secretary
Helm. It concerned the progress of
this arm of Christian work in the non
Christian nation of Japan, and included
many personal and pathetic incidents,
showing the gratitude of soldiers for
kindly offices performed.
Mr. Helm is a man filled with a zeal
of his cause which he transmits to his
hearers. He talks under high pressure
suggesting many lines of thought to
any one wno has kept in touch with the
progress of events in the Russo-Japan
ese war, and who is at all interested
in the questions of practical missions,
either as a partizan of the work or as
an opponent.
Mr. Helm is to deliver an illustrated
lecture at the Auditorium Sunday at
3 p.m., under T. M. C. A. auspices. It
will take the place of the regular Sun
day men's meeting. Mrs. Maud ITlmer
Jones will sing, and Kenny's orchestra
will play.

was asked to be one of a number of

graphed that I would be glad to be one
to help Mr. Lawson in the great work
he was leading."
The governor further declared that in
his opinion Mr. Lawson is not out to
make more money at the expense of the
fer
eople and their confidence in him. Af
concluding the main portion of his
speech with a glowing tribute to Mr.
Lawson personally, the governor men
tioned a talk with Mr. Lawson in which
Mr. Lawson said:
"If Sogers and his crowd had
planned it, they could not be better*
pleased with the developments of the
Armstrong investigations. Just see
what was accomplished. They got rid
of the McCalls, the McCurdys, the
Hydes, Perkins and others and. now
they would have the whole control to
themselves. These men were not the
real power in their companies, they
were the mere office boys, doing the
bidding of the system, and allowed
their petty salaries and petty grafts as
hush money from the bigger* men be
hind them."
