CLOSING POOL PAKLORS.
'Lid" Is Applied Because Many Min
ors Spend Time at" Gaines, Drink
'Malt Tonics'* and Hear Much Nasty
and Profane LanguageDevotees of
Game "Knock'' Executive. *T\
I was necessary to take some dras
tic action with regard to the pool and
billiard rooms in the city.'' said Mayor
David P. Jones today, explaining the
sweeping order which put every public
billiard and pool table in the city out
of commission yesterday.
"Complaints have been numerous
of late and have come from all parts
of the city. Investigation disclosed
some startling facts. Many of these
places are of such a character as to be
come a serious menace to the youth Jof
the city. They are crowded all day,
mostly with minors, mary of these be
ing ci a tender age. Profane and vul
gar language, boisterous and unseemly
behavior and a low moral tone prevails,
at all times.
"Great quantities of the so-called
malt tonic is consumed in these places.
While not classed as intoxicants, these
malt beverages contain about 2 per cent
of alcohol, and when consumed in suffi
cient quantities will have an intoxicat
ing effect on boys.
Moreover, I am advised that certain
forms of gambling are carried
one
at
they hav a
degrading and demoralizing effect on
the young men and boys who frequent
them can not be questioned and it is
high time that the evil was restricted as
much as possible.
Code Is Strict.
"I question much whether it is legal
to sell malt extracts, or any other bev
erage, for that matter, in pool and bil
liard rooms. I understand that the re
vised code contains some stringent'
regulations on the conduct of pool
rooms. This is a matter which will be
carefully looked into. I may be pos
sible that the sale of all beverages con*
taining alcohol in quantities* even less
than 2 per cent will be prohibited ex
cept in licensed places.
"It must not be assumed that I con
sider billiard and pool playing immoral
quite the contrary. They are splendid
games for recreation, if properly con
ducted. Doubtless many worthy and
innocent people were affected by the
general, order issued to the police last
Saturday. It often happens that the
innocent must suffer for the sins of
others, but this cannot be helped, as.it
is difficult tq draw the line at present.'
Much Knocking Dpne.
Entrances to pool and billiard halla
were crowded^ yesterday by- swarms of
young men who hdped against hope that
Mayor Jones' new rap at the lid was
only a joke and that they might get
a chance to while away a'few of the
drizzly hours.
They were doomed to disappointment,
for the doors remained closed and the
click of the ivory balls was heard only
in exclusive ciubs and private resi
dences. Not even in the hotels *hat
furnish .temporary' residences for trav-
and thete Vere as many persons Who
were sore- about it.
Players and owners of halls met in
little" groups on the street corners and
began some strenuous hammer work
The hotel men said they were losing
money on all sides. There were no
billiards, no crowds and few cigars sold.
It was a dull day everywhere, but
especially dismal about the hotels, and
it was hard for the clerks to make the
guests understand that there was no
possibility of a little game.
GAS COMPROMISE LIKELY
INDICATIONS ARE THAT COM-
PANY WIIJ. OFFER LOWER BUT
NOT 80-CENT RATE.
An answer from the Minneapolis Gas
Light company to the demand of the
city council for a reduction in the price
of gas to 80 cents a thousand cubic feet
was expected today at a meeting of the
special committee appointed to take
charge of the matter.
When the committee held its first
meeting a fortnight ago, the gas com
pany asked for a postponement of the
conference for two weeks, as the prin
cipal officers of the committee were out
of the city and would not be back for
some time. President Alonzo T. Band
is in the city and was expected at the
meeting of- the committee.
I has been intimated for several
weeks that the company would meet
the demand of the city'council by an
offer of a compromise rather than take
a position which would force arbitra
tion proceedings as provided-by law in
the event of a dispute. I is conceded
that arbitration might not result in 80
cent gas and the aldermen are believed
to be willing to abandon arbitration,
provided the company is willing to
make a substantial reduction to the
city and private consumers.
There will probably be no further
hitch the payment of the claim for
incandescent.lighting by the Patterson
btreet Lighting company. Both May
or Jones and Controller Brqwn have
taken legal advice and find that inas
much as all the proceedings of the coun
cil have been legallv transacted, there
is no ground upon which a refusal to
countersign the warrant can be sus
tained. The price for incandescent
ligntmg will,, therefore, continue to be
at the rate of. $12.25 a lamp .a vear until
the supreme court has decided the Pat
terson mandamus proceedings.
CAR IN FIRE PERIL
Roof Ignited "and Fire Company Sum
"moned to Extinguish Blaze.
A Fourth avenue'S car narrowly es
caped destruction by fire at 10 o'clock
this forenoon, while passing under the
Milwaukee tracks at Twenty-ninth
street.
The trolley wire .snapped-as the car
was passing under the viaduct and
dropped on the car with a bright flash.
In a moment the top of the car was
afire and the motorman ran. to a small
store on Lake street and summoned the
fire department. A chemical line* was
sufficient to extinguish the -blaze be
fore the car was completely disabled.
Only a few passengers were on the car.
The loss will be nominal.

CITY'S STREETS TO
BLAZE WITH LIGHT
MERCHANTS BY SCORES PUTTING
UP OUTSIDE LIGHTS.
Grand Army Flans a Brilliant Illumin-
ationNew Flaming Arc Lamps Be
ing Installed Prove a Success and
Additional Lamps Are Ordered Up.
Minneapolis is fast becoming tho
electrical city of the country, and, as
far as the business districts are con
cerned, the best lighted. Block after
block of the downtown streets is be
ing equipped with private arcsboth
electric and ^asthat throw a bril
liant white light over the building
fronts, the display windows and the
sidewalks and streets. Since the intro
duction of the idea, merchants have
taken to it with a rush and are in
stalling lights.
"The movement in Minneapolis is
simply in line with a similar move
ment in all the larger cities of the
country," said W. E. Sweany of the
Minneapolis General Electric company.
"The first move was the illuminated
sign that is now seen everywhere. The*
addition of the outside lights makes
the display more effective. This scheme
of electrical illumination not only ad
vertises the merchant who installs it,
but helps advertise the city."
East Side merchants are out to hold
their own with the merchants on the
west' side, and Central avenue will be
as bright as the main business streets
on the West side as soon as the poles
and electric lights can be installed.
Grand Army Plans.
The illumination committee of the G.
A. E. .encampment is working on a
lighting plan that will make the night
scenes on the streets during encamp
ment week most effective. I is planned
to have electroliers ou both sides of the
street- at intervals of fifty feet. The
district to be,covered is from Bridge

HOW BELIEF IS GIVEN
Salvation jArm Reports on Disburse
ment Work fur March.
The March report, just issued by En
sign Miller of the relief department of
the Salvation Army, states that, while
a number of worthy cases were assisted
in the last month, there was a percepti
ble decrease in the number of appli
cants at both the relief and medical
departments.
Ninety-nine cases came under the
care of the medical department, five' __"
of which were sent to the hospital. In
addition to medical relief, the relief)
department assissubu' lorty-eight sick
persons with food, fuel and"clothing.
General relief was disbursed to 39f
sons at,a Cash, expense, of $215.94, auu

Gas Lights in Demand, Too.
The tenants of the block on the south
side of Nicollet, below Washington, are
continuing installation of gas lamps in
the direction of Bridge Square. Above
Washington the lessees of the stores are
putting in electric light posts up to the
alley. Another set ot flaming arc lamps
will be put in at Nicollet near Fourth
street. The two lamps that have
burned a few nights in front of the A.
D. Thompson and the Pearce stores have
attracted much attention. Their suc
cess has been such that the second pair
will be put in at once.
New Arc Light.
The flaming arc lamp is new in Min
neapolis. I has a strangely penetrat
inglight. The lamps are made only
England. They are burned in pairs i
and cost $150 a pair. The same voltage
is used as in the arc light but about

Complete statements regarding immi

western immigrant bureau had its most
prosperous season last year. Minneso
ta received 11,338 of the immigrants.
Chairman E. E. MacLeod reports for
entries at the Atlantic, Pacific, gulf,
and thru Canda, and shows destination,
nationality, percentage of sex and in
fants, as well as "the professions and
trades of the newr peoples, as well as
other interesting faets.
Twenty-three roads from the bureau
and their aggregate revenue from carry
ing 82,362 immigrants west from Chi
cago amounted to $981,474. The total
of immigrants entering thru all ports
was 1,053,575, as against 806,598 for the
year previous. The number carried by
the western roads in 1905 was not so
great as in 1903, when 86,257 wore
transported. iThe net revenue, how
ever, was larger in 1905 than in 1903,
due maiuly to the fact that commis
sions were less. I -903 the railroads
received $1,030,301 for immigrant traf
fic, but they paid $161,176 for commis
sions, whereas they paid but $91,945
last year. The decrease in commission
is due mainly to the settlement of the
fight between the railroads and Peter
McDonnell, who is now working for all
the lines.
I is noted that the immigration thru
the Atlantic ports' increased from 769,-

STREAMS, FLOOD WILL COME.
People on the Flats Near Washington
Avenue Bridge Gather Ballast With
Which to Hold Down Their Homes-r
The Up-Eiver Dams Are Threatened.
The annual spring rampage of the
Mississippi river is sight. Already
the river and its tributaries are rising
rapidly, and there is a great deal or
water in the upper part or the state. A
few warm days will release it, and
when the rush comes it will come with
a vengeance. Little damage has been
done in Minneapolis as yet, tho the
river has risen almost two feet and is
within 2.6 feet of the danger line at
St. Paul.
The ice went out very easily 'this
year, giving the power companies lit
tle trouble and without clogging either
above the dams or at th root of the
aprons. At the upper dam in the mill
ing district, and at thei lower dam at
Tenth avenue the water is pouring over
the tops of the dams. For a week there
has been a slow, steady rise that shows
the immense pressure behind.

the yards nearest the river are flooded
and the water laps the doorsills*of some
of the lower houses. As usual the resi
dents of the flats are not worrying.
Plans for the flood are undertaken
calmly and the expected flood is re
garded in th$ nature of a nuisance
rather than as a danger. Everything
that will float is weighted down or
tied to the nearest support.
Some Damage Done.
At some points above Minneapolis
the actual damage from high water has
commenced. The Bum river at St.
Francis is defending its name. Yes
terday the entire town was called out
to save the dam. Water has been pour
ing over the full length of the dam and
showed signs of cutting thru one of
the wings. The gates have been opened
to reduce the head and it is believed
the dam will now hold unless another
sudden rise occurs before it *a be re
paired.
At Anoka there is a heavyflo of
water both in the Bum and the Missis
sippi. At other points above the dams
are covered, and a closfc watch is being
kept on all river property. As soon as
the northern streams open, which may
occur at any time, the log drives will
be started and rushed forward to take
advantage of the high stage of wateT.
them on premises. Perfect facilities.

but new to this part of the world. The faculty
was represented among those present, but this
part of the session was impromptu.
Songs and steins, the latter filled with "Ger
man bubbles," donated by the La Crosse Brew
ing company, whiled nwny the hours and the
merriment was at its height when Professor E.
A. Birge, dean of the college of letters and
sciences, and Professor Augustus Trowbridge,
chairman of the faculty social committee, entered
the room. The unexpected visitation caused some
conversation among the revelers, but while the
pedagogs stood astonished at the sight of the
flowing foam and the "dead soldiers," Remp rose
to his feet and welcomed them with a bow.
"Mr. Remp," said Dean Birge sternly, "I'll
see you at my office at 11 o'clock tomorrow
morning."
"You'll do nothing of the kind," was the
prompt response. "We have bad our last disci

but if you are here to interfere, I would call
your attention to tho door bthind you."
After taking a quick glance over the assembled
students tbe professors departed, leaving a de
cided chill behind them. The guests at the
gathering are, entertaining some fear that they
will be made the objects of faculty discipline
for attending.
