With Uncle Sam's permission, a
party of Minneapolis people who left
this week fpr the Indian Territory,
will solve the problem of the "lone
some homesteader's life" in a most
satisfactory manner.
There will be no lonesome cabins for
each of the settlers. On the contrary,
there will be one large house, but
without interfering with Uncle Sam's
rules in the least, for, as good luck
would have it, the claims meet at
anthe

the dividing lines, will take up a cor
ner of each claim.

preceded them and immediately
on their arrival they filed claims in
the section of the newly opened lands
under the United States homestead
laws.
The claims are located near Guymon,
almost next to the Texas line. The
land is splendid farming land, and it
has been filed on at the rate of eighty
homesteaders a day. Claims of
160Lastly
acres have been taken by each of the
Minneapolis persons. They will re
turn to Minneapolis in about a week
to make arrangements for building and
then will prepare to spend the demand
ed six months on their claims.
Afraid of Lonesome Life.
The plan of building one house for
the four claimants is the outcome of
a desire by the women to take up
claims, but who have hitherto hesi
tated on account of the isolated .life
which would be necessitated. As it is
now planned this will all be done away
with, and each in their "quarter of

isfaction of having the substantial aid
and help from the other "quarters"

It is understood that the convicted

that she was merely a tool for Mrs.
Yates, and will ask for a new trial on
the strength of this, and that her de
fense is separate from Mrs. Yates and
was not given proper presentation at
the recent trial.
Whether she will admit knowing
about the fire and planning for it is
known, but her attorney, W. E.
Hewitt, says she will make a clean
breast of her knowledge of the crime
both before and after the fire.
FIND OF COUNTERFEITS
PUZZLES THE POLICE
Police Superintendent Doyle and his
detectives are still trying to find the
owners of the counterfeit half dollars
found in the Milwaukee yards Tuesday
afternoon by workmen.
The coins are all old and evi
dently had been buried in the
ground for some time. In the
early days several counterfeiting
gangs lived and operated in that vi
but they were never known to
make half-dollars. About three years
ago, however, there was a flood of spur
ious half-dollars that caused Superin
tendent Conroy considerable trouble.
Many were passed in saloons and be
cause of the small amount were not
quickly noticed. About that time twt
moulds ware found in a vacant room on
Fifth avenue S, but the owners evident
ly had left the city, for they could not
be found, a.nd no more, bad money was
taken in by the merchants.
TIME IS VALUABLE
Street Commissioners Anxious About
Hennepin and Lyndale.
If Hennepin avenue is to be turned
over to the city, as planned, thf street
commissioners of tho fourth and eighth
wards want to know it soon, so they can
make their plans and set aside sufficient
funds for sprinkling and repairs.
Street Commissioner Eobert McMul
len of the fourth ward is willing to
take over the care of that portion of
Hennepin avenue within his territory,
which extends to Pranklin avenue.
The eighth ward officials are not
anxious to assume the care of Henne
pin avenue. There is more than a
mile in their ward, and to rebuil^ the
roadway, maintain and sprinkle, it will
make a big hole in the ward fund. The
third ward is in a similar position
with regard to Lyndale avenue,

Interesting Talk on Protection to
Convention of Hardware Dealers
Beports Show that New Company Is
Well Managed and Prosperous.
The hardware men spent most of
their time today in the convention hall
at the Hotel Nicollet.
The morning was spent with consid
eration of subjects relating to thecosmopolitan
Retail Hardware Mutual Insurance
company of Minnesota. During the
last haif hour of the morning session
papers on general subjects were taken
up. This afternoon was occupied with
papers and general business, conclud
ing with a distribution of tickets for
Orpneum theater. Hardware men
600 strong will attend the Orpheum in
a body this evening.
Charles F. Ladner, president of the
Betail Hardware Insurance company,
called the convention te order and pre
sided most of the morning. The event
of the session was an address by T.
D. O'Brien of St. Paul, state insurance

came the organization of the

Mr. O'Brien suggested that mutuals
future laws of this state can be changed
if all interested in mutual insurance
lend a hand, so that mutual insurance
will be on a safer basis and such com
panies can be more easily and more
safely organized."
"Have you any criticism against our
company?" asked a voice in the audi
ence.
Danger in Bigness.
I haven't,a word of .criticism at
present," was the reply. "Your dan
ger will come when you get too largej
when you eventually try to run a big
company for profit, instead of just for
your own protection."
Pleads for Support.
President Charles P. Ladner of the
Hardware Mutual company spoke of
the great success of their company.
"If every Minnesota hardware man
took a $3,0QO policy in our company,"
he said, "and $2,000 in thelowa asso
ciation's company, and a like amount
in the Wisconsin association's com
pany, figuring on the per cent of re
bate the Minnesota company pays, the
total rebates to the policy-holding mer
chants would be $64,000."'*

from South America Sell at
Twelve Cents EachOther Rarities
Command Fancy Prices.
Large consignments of plums from
Cape Town, South America, and ink fish
or squids from Seattle, received at the
Central market yesterday, indicate the
character of the Minne
apolis market, and its importance in the
country as a distributor of high-priced
dfilic&cifis
Tho the' plums, ihu their rarity in this
region during a winter month and the
high price which they commanded, at
tracted great interest, the ink fish were
the stars of the market. The little
ocean octipi, that emit a dark substance
that hides their bodies when enemies
approach are the rage with the Chinese
and Greeks, and Minneapolitans of
these nationalities made the stay of the
little squids in the market a short one.
The fish have a flavor that appeals
strongly to the Chinese, and the for
tunate Celestials who were advised of
the presence of the coveted food in the
city and reached the market before the
supply was exhausted, today are revel
ing as a result of their luck, and munch
ing little bits of the costly dainty.
Twelve cents a plum, was the exclu

successful that it will be a top-liner in
the future.
Another recent arrival that makes
the mouth water at first sight is the
California tomato. The tomatoes are
moving rapidly at $10.50 a case, or 35

quantities in which they are bought at

to choose his successor is already can

Regret at the determination of Mr.
Goddard to sever his connection with
the local association and to terminate
his successful career as director of the
interests of the great work in Minne

among the business men of the city
and the patrons of the institution. The

His success as secretary of the Min

Sent by Messengers Bather Than by
Slower Mail.
Before the first morning's mail could
be delivered, and almost before the
office was opened, responses to the ap
peal of the Grand Army encampment
finance committee for funds began to
come in. Judging from the quick," gen
erous response, the reputation of Min
neapolis as the best city of the United
States will be more than sustained.
No sooner had Secretary Wallace G.
Nye opened his office in the Andrus
building this morning than John Mc
Culloch presented the subscription of
the John McCulloch Lumber company
for the full amount asked for by the
committee. Office boys and messen
gers began to appear at frequent inter
vals, and before noon the returns had
passed the $9,000 mark. Every sub
scriber expressed himself as entirely
satisfied with the amount asked for,
and presented it in full. None of these
returns is by mail, all being delivered
by special messengers.
Those Who Paid.
The amounts of these subscriptions
range from $5 to $1,000. Those who
sent in their pledges without waiting
for the mails were William Donaldson
& Co., the Palace Clothing company,
Nicollet Hotel company, John A.
Schlener & Co., A. D. Thompson Drug
Company, M. B. Dillon, Hahn & Har
mon, Boston, Ico company, Boutell
Brothers, H. D. Bailey and others. The
$9,000 announced today covers prom
ised subscriptions from two prominent
business associations whose formal
pledges have not yet been received.
The quick, hearty response more than
exceeds the expectations of the commit
tee and was a pleasing surprise. Not
the slightest objection has been raised
to the amounts requested. Prompt re
turns of the pledges are necessary, and
judging by the manner in which the
requests have been received so far, they
will be forthcoming. Payments on the
subscriptions will be asked for as nec
essary.
LEAVES SICK WIFE AND
TWO BABES IN POVERTY
The pitiful plight of Mrs. Jennie
Freeman, living at 1025 Nicollet ave

tion of the charitable institutions of
the city. The woman has been desert
ed under deplorable circumstances.
She has two young children one 2
Vears old, another 1 year and is in a
delicate condition. Notwithstanding
this, she charges her husband, Clar
ence Freeman, a stoverepairer, with
having deserted her three weeks ago,
leaving her without means for the care
of herself and children.
It has been suggestedvjthat the
woman be taken io- the city hospital] to
and, the babies sent to Bethany home,
but to this the woman naturally is
strongly opposed, for, come what may,
she wants the children with her. W.
P. Barton, superintendent of the poor,
will provide food and fuel, but sug
gests that the gentle ministration of
sympathetic women is badly needed at
this home and no act would be more
blessed.

investigation for a conference on the
proposed ordinance regulating fire pro

only put many hotel owners to a con

or two places being condemned for
purposes unless entirely rebuilt.

THOSE OBSERVING SATURDAY
MAT WORK ON SUNDAY.
Jews and Adventists who Lose Their
Places of Business on Saturday May
Keep Open SundayRecent Decision
Held the ContraryMayor May Still
Revoke Licenses.
Religious freedom, allowing persons
of certain faiths to work and conduct
business on Sunday, is provided by the
new code, which went into effect today.
The law states that persons who, ac
cording to their religious beliefs, ob
serve some day other than Sunday as
their Sabbath, may resume their usual
work and business on Sunday. The
law will be a great boon to many of
the Hebrew people who conduct stores
and worship on Saturday.
The right of this particular class of
people to sell on Sunday was tested in
the state supreme court only a few
weeks ago, and the court decided that
the fact that the Hebrews observed
Saturday as their Sabbath did not give
them the right to keep their stores
open on Sunday. In other respects the
new code makes the same provisions
for Sunday selling. The cases of tho
North Minneapolis confectioners who
were arrested at the instance of the
Retail Grocers' association, are cited
in the new code notes, and the law is
now clear on the subject.
However, as the supreme court has
made one decision, the grocers' associa
tion of the state will have the right
to have the new provision tested. The
cases brought against the confection
ers last fall were disposed of two weeks
ago, and City Prosecutor A. C. Finney
was informed at that time that no more
arrests would be made. Everything
has changed now, however, and^ a new
test case may be made at any time.
Mayor's Authority Unchanged.
"Whatever authority the Minneapo
lis city charter gives the mayor over sa
loon licenses is not changed by the re
vised code," said Assistant Attorney
General R. A. Stone today. "Th
code contains some new provisions, but
it does not repeal existing city charters
or alter their force. In Section 747
the code says:
'Until otherwise provided in ac
cordance "with this subdivision, all cities
existing at the time of the taking effect
of tho revised laws shall continue to be
governed by the laws then applicable
thereto.'
"The Minneapolis charter is an act
of the legislature, and the code change0
none of its provisions."
The code gives general power to city
councils to revoke licenses, but this does
not change the powers of the Minneap
olis mayor. The code makes provision
for transferring licenses, but nowhere
declares them personal property. The
status of a license as a privilege is no
where changed. Section 1525 of the
code provides that licenses may be
transferred only in the following cir
cumstances:
"FirstWhen the license desires to
change his place of business.
SecondWhen the licensee has sold
and disposed of his business.
"But no( license shall be transferred.

Club for Husbands.
Fewer cases of non-support are ex
pected in police court from now on ow
ing to the fact that the new code makes
non-support a misdemeanor punishable
by fine or workhouse sentence.
Heretofore women who were not prop
erly supported by their husbands would
make a complaint and the case would
have to be Continued because the mu
nicipal court had no jurisdiction. Be
fore the case would come to the atten
tion of the grand jury the wife would
relent and the troubles would be
patched up.
Now the wives will have to repent
sooner or the other half may be sent
to the workhouse. A charge of non
support has been the chief means of
getting even after family scraps, and
in the majority of cases the complain
ant repented as soon as she was out
of the courtroom. The warrants under
the old law were issued thru the coun
ty attorney's office, but from now on
they will be issued by City Prosecutor
A. C. Finney and the cases will be pros
ecuted by the city attorney.
Has a New Title.
The new code has required the board
of control to get out a new letterhead.
The law of 1901, creating the board,
called it the "Board of Control of
State Institutions/' but the code
changes its title to the more simple
"State Board of Control."
Confectioners Have Time.
No arrests for violation of the pure
food law, which went into effect today,
will be made among the candy sellers
for a week or so. The state food com
mission is busy testing samples submit
ted to it by manufacturers of coloring
matter, and will announce soon what
dyes are under the ban. While no posi
tive order has been issued the impres
sion prevails among the dealers that no
steps will be taken unti/ they have had
fair notice as to what colors they must
discard.
