TO GAIN ADMITT,ANQE,^
Futile Appeal to Jailers I Followed by
Tears and Wrath and Scornful Ar
raignment of Policemen, hut to No
AvailWainwright Excited when
Told of Incident.
Mysterv mingled with excitement
pervaded* police headquarters today
when a woman, heavily veiled, de
manded permission to see Thomas J.
Wainwright, who is in a cell in Central
station waiting trial on a charge of
looting Dr. J. N. Pinault's residence
at 1206 Mount Curve avenue.
She was not the woman whom Wain
wright showered with presents, say
those who saw her, but she urgently
wanted to see the prisoner and she
soon turned from tears to wrath when
the permission was refused. She first
went directly to Central station. An
nouncing herself to Jailer Al Needham
that she wanted to see Mr. Wainwright,
she started for the cell block. Need
ham, however, has instructions to let
no one see the man, and he told her
to apply to Assistant Superintendent
Mealey for a permit.
Didn't Know Wainwright.
Mealey wanted to know her mission
before admitting her, and he began
asking questions. In reply she said she
did not know Wainwright, but wanted
to see him on a matter of business.
She was told to state her business and
possibly arrangements could be made
for an interview.
At this she began to weep, but a mo
ment later, when told that an officer
would have to be present during the in
terview, she became angry and ventured
scornful remarks about policemen in
general. But Mealey was firm and the
woman went out of the office declaring
she would appeal to the mayor. This
was not done, as the chief executive is
out of the city.
Dressed neatly in a dark suit, the
woman had every appearance of refine
ment. She is not more than 30 years
old. During her visit she kept her
face veiled, perhaps to prevent the po
lice from recognizing her again.
Who Was She?
As soon as she had left there was an
argument among the officers as to who
she was. Most of them thought she
was a relative who has heard of his
trouble and wanted to offer him finan
cial aid. Others thought she was mere
ly an acquaintance.
Wainwright appeared excited when
told that a woman had called to see him,
but he acked no questions and later
said he could not imagine who she
was. He is apparently in no need of
money, as he has decided to plead
guilty. He received $20 by telegraph
from Boston last night. The order,
which was cashed in the office of Peter
Neilson, clerk of municipal court, gave
no clue to the sender, but it is presumed
that it is from his brother who lives in
Boston. EASTER CHORUS WILL

JEWISH PEOPLE
JEWS OF MINNEAPOLIS TO HOLD
MASS MEETING.
Haven for the Aged, the Infirm and
the Needy of Their Race Is Planned,
and Permanent Organization Will Be
Effected at Temple Sharai Tov To
morrow. Tomorrow afternoon a mass meeting
of the Jewish people of the city will
be held at Temple Sharai Tov, Fifth
avenue S and Tenth street, to discuss
plans for establishing a home for aged,
infirm and needy Jews and a free ais
pensary for the poor. The movement is
not undertaken Dy any faction of the
Jews of Minneapolis, but is a united
movement of all the Jewish people of
the city.
For some time plans for the home
have been under consideration. There
has been a temporary organzation and
tentative plans for such an institution
have been drawn up. At the meeting
tomorrow the formal organization is to
be effected and committees will be
appointed to draw up all the features
of the proposed organization. The
movement will be organized under the
name of the Jewish Home and Free
Dispensary society.
The movers in the work are enthusi
astic. The home will be for members
of their race only, but the free dispen
sary that is to be conducted in connec
tion will be free for all, irrespective of
race or creed. In other large cities
where there is a large Jewish popula
tion, fine homes are maintained where
the aged and needy are cared for. Al
ready about $800 has been secured or
promised, and with the completion of
the organization several generous dona
tions sufficient to make up the first
$1,000 will be received from interested
persons.
"It will probably be necessary for
us to begin in a small way," said
Rabbi S. N. Deinard of the Sharai Tov
congregation today. "All our people
are interested. We will begin as we
are able, possibly in rented quarters,
and work for better things. The home
will be for members of our race only,
tho no suffering person would be re
fused shelter, but the dispensary will
be for all and all will be welcome. We
hope to see a great interest taken in
the movement by everybody. In other
cities are homes and dispensaries doing
a great and good work, and our race
in Minneapolis will not do less."
The meeting tomorrow will be at
2:30 p.m. Representatives of the vari
ous Jewish organizations and churches
will be present and address the meet
ing and all who are interested are in
vited.

NEW BUTTER EXCHANGE
REGARDED AS A JOKE
Minneapolis produce and commission
men are smiling over the announce
ment that the St. Paul Commercial
club has appointed a committee to
formulate plans for making St. Paul a
butter city by the establishment of a
butter exchange, where the butter of
the state may be shinned and distrib
uted to the hungry, butterless world.
Another smile was occasioned by the
announcement that St. Paul was the
logical point for the exchange, as
"dairymen disposing of butter in St.
Paul could visit the stockyards at
South St. Paul and secure such cows
as they require." The idea of dairy
men buying beef cows in South St. Paul
for dairy purposes is regarded as a
real joke.
Minneapolis has had the bulge on the
butter business of the state for many
years, say local produce men. Three
times the amount of butter sold in St.
Paul is handled here, amounting to
about 35,000,000 pounds a year. The
Minneapolis butter market is known
and recognized all over the country,
and while only a feature of the Min
neapolis produce business, it is most
important Many of the largest
creameries and dairies of the state nave
marketed their butter here for years
and would not leave the superior con
nections possible here.

ATTEMPT TO CATCH THIEF
KITCHEN ROOF FAILS.
Man Descends in Response to Order of
Police Squad, Dashfes Thru Line,
Leaps a Fence and DisappearsOf
ficers Find No Trace of Fugitive.
A determined and agile burglar last
night ran thru the lines of a squad
of mounted policemen from the nfth
precinct, who stood with drawn revol
vers to catch him as he descended from
the roof of H. S. Birch's residence, 508
West Lake street, after trying to break
in a window.
Chagrined by the easy escape of the
thief, the officers ran wildly thru the
alleys trying to get him into a corner,
but he disappeared as tho by magic,
and the policemen returned empty
handed to their beats.
Neighbors living next door to the
Birch residence saw the man on the
roof of the kitchen about 10:30 p.m.
They watched him for some time, and
finally saw him crouch under the win
dow of a sleeping room.
He remained there some time, and
when all the lights in the house were
out. began to work at the window,
which was raised about four inches.
Then the neighbors telephoned for the
policet and in a few minutes a squad of
Captain Getchel's braves arrived. They
could see the man still crouching on
the roof. A guard was placed about
the house and one of the officers then
ordered:
Come down and surrender or you 're
a dead man."
At the word, every officer whipped
out his revolver and stood ready to do
speedy justice if the burglar should
start things.
The man came down, but did not
surrender. As his feet touched the
round he bounded thru the line of of
cers like a flash and vaulted a high
fence as easily as a trained athlete.
The brawny policemen looked at one
another in amazement'and then started
in pursuit, but their efforts were use

During the last two weeks the chil
dren have learned to realize that the
Humane society and the Jim Key
Bands of Mercy have the legal power
to protect animals from abuse and some
of the little ones are regarding these
organizations as better than the police
man. An officer of the Humane so
ciety overheard the following "tiff"
between two little girls on Third ave
nue, which illustrates their faith:
The children were playing on oppo
site sides of the street, one with her
dog and the other with a big gray oat.
Presently Master Dog espied Misss
Pussy and made a dash across the
street at her.
Pussy's back went up and she brave
ly turned and faced the dog, ready to
defend herself. Her little mistress
picked up a stick and hurried to her
rescue. The little girl across the street
called out:
"Don't you touch my dog!" I
will if you don't call him away from
my cat!" pussy's owner replied.
"If you hurt my dog I'll tell the
Humane society on you."
"If you don't take your dog home,
I'll tell the Jim Key Band of Mercy
on you," screamed the other child. Her
mother heard the trouble bv this time
and went out and pacified both the
children and their pets.
Great Men Love Animals.
The boy who is kind to animals usu
ally becomes a kind, generous and just
man and one who is loved by every one.
Nearly all the great men of history
have shown this love for animals and
their lives have been made happier by
the love of some dog, horse or other
domestic animal.
Abraham Lincoln, whom all Ameri
cans love and revere, was never too
busy to do some kind act for the dumb
creatures. I is told of him that once
when traveling thru the country on
horseback with a party of famous men,
he found a^little bird, too young to
fly, which fallen out of the nest.
The mother bird, in great distress, was
flying around trying to get her baby
back again. Mr. Lincoln said, "You
can ride on I'll overtake you soon, but
I am going to help that mother Tbird
out." He got off the horse, tenderly
picked up the little bird, climbed the
tree and placed it in the nest. %x

rates in effect, a man whose business
called him to St. Paul or Minneapolis,
instead of purchasing the ordinary
tickets, would buy summer excursion
tickets and the railroad would suffer a
corresponding decrease in earnings."
"There may be some truth in this
view of thb case," said a twin city
railroad man today, "but the fact re
mains that the association misled the
business men of the twin cities in stat
ing that the rates were to be the same
as last year. While the minimum rate
for the round trip from Chicago to
Minneapolis and St. Paul is the same,
the thru rates have been advanced
about 25 per cent over the rates made
last year."
REACHES THE qjOLF
Agitation in Minneapolis over the
Western Passenger association's dis
crimination against northwestern sum
mer resorts in favor of Colorado, has
reached the association members in Chi
cago.
The passenger traffic officials own
that they have received the usual lot of
complaints, with the bulk of them from
the twin cities.
"The gist of these complaints," says
a Chicago dispatch, "is that the rates
to Colorado and some places in Wis
consin and along the east shore, of Lake
Michigan are lower than those made to
Minneapolis.
"While railroad officials are always
willing to hear and consider complaints
from places that believe they are dis
criminated against in the matter of
rates, they feel that there is little they
can do to remedy the so-called unequal
rates mentioned by the Minnesota peo
ple who want lower rates for their sum
mer resorts. They declare that such
rates are out of the question inasmuch
as the commercial business between
Chicago and the twin cities is so large
that exceptionally low rates would be
so greatly abused as to make them not
only impracticable, but impossible.
Earnings Would Suffer.
A passenger traffic official, who
discussed the complaints today, said
that if the railroads leading from Chi
cago to the twin cities were to make'
as low rates to the Minnesota resorts
as are made to Colorado points, or even
to places in northern Wisconsin. and
Michigan, they would suffer great loss COMMITTEE NAMED TO EXAMINE

one alderman from each ward be ap
pointed to look after the bicycle paths,
which are now in a sadly neglected con
dition. President Merrill, after the
passage of the motion, announced the
following committee: Aldermen Ryan,
Chatfield, Mumm, Starkweather. Hertig,
Band, Vaughan, Walker, McCoy, An
quist, Peterson, Bow and Van Nest.
It is evident from the activity dis
played by the wheelmen tha^ the cycle
paths will be a* larger puSlie question*
eral years. Many old riders are said1
to be taking to the wheel again and
there is reason to believe that the-num
ber of riders this season will greatly
exceed that of last year.
Action Is Necessary.
At any rate, wheelmen say, there is
necessity for some legislation regard
ing the paths. Some of them have
reached the stage when they must
either be repaired or removed entirelv.

as they are wellnigh useless in their
present condition.
I is likely that several attempts will
be made to have certain paths
abandoned and removed. In many
caseB the property owners object Stren
uously to the paths in front of-their
property. When the riders were numer
ous and their special tracks were used
to a great extent, there was no tree inf
attacking the paths, but now that the
paths are poorly kept and little used
the time is believed to be favorable for
their abandonment.
Between the wishes of the riders^ to
have all the paths retained and the de
sire of the owners of abutting property
to have them abolished the new biccl
path committee will have plenty of
work to look after.

We have been saying this in our advertisements for the past eighteen
months, BUT NOW INVESTORS are saying It in COLD CASH. During tfcd
past four weeks w$ ha\e made some handsome sales of business property/

corner to one of our investors for a little less than Thirty Thousand Dollars
and this week we sold it for him at over Eight Thousand Dollars advance.
A Fifty Thousand Dollar piece of Business Property was sold by our office
last week at an advance of over Ten Thousand Dollars of what it cost four
weeks before.

Are You Making This Mistake?
The records of the Probate Court at Philadelphia disclose a
remarkable fact: Of nearly twenty-three thousand persona dying
in one year, nineteen thousand left no property whatever, while
the remaining estates averaged very low, the majority ranging from
$50.00 to $1,000.00. The lesson of this fact is that death finds nearly
all men nearly or quite insolvent except those carrying sufficient
good life Insurance.
v* Men generally know this and therefore the query arises. Why
do so small a proportion, even of men who are financially able,
secure the needed protection? The answer turns upon the most
Universal weakness of human nature, procrastination. Those who
die uninsured or underinsured intended to protect their families
but put it off. if the reader of this notice makes a like failure It
jWill probably be due solely to delay.

But the State Mutual has never yet agreed to insure any one
