HIS RE-EIxECTION as PRESIDENT
OF THE COUNCIL IS reuarded
AS CERTAIN
REPUBLICANS NOT CONFIDENT
They Lone Faith in Their Boasted
Strength—Warner In Slated for
President of the
ft Hf 111 111 jr.
This afternoon will be a busy period
with the city lawmakers. Three meetings
in all will be held by the three bedies,
the common council, the assembly a»i
the board of aldermen, and at each "a
reorganization process wi'.l be the order
of business.
Preparations for the fray were com
pleted by both the Republicans and the
Democrats at caucus held last evening,
but the general impression is that tnose
who are looking foe a long diawn out
fight will be sorely dissappoineed.
The Democrats claim that their can
didate, Dr. Schiffmann, who has t>e#n
pushed forward for re-election for Uie
presidency of that body, will receive
every Democratic vote necessary, and
that on the first ballot. As.-emblyman
Whitcomib will be vice pres'dent.
Despite boasted claims the R: putl cans
are not ao confident of carrying of the
prize as they were a wrek ago, and win
be satisfied if they only succeed in creat
ing a deadlock, with consequ nt political
embarrassment to the one who i* le
sponsible for It. Assemblyman Holt is
their candidate, and he will receive ail
their votes.
In the reorganization of Wie assembly,
Warner will be selected as president and
Benson as vice president. This is tlie
slate announced, but It may be broken
at the last moment, as their are seve.ai
who think the two gentlemen are not
entitled to the places. Assembyman
Denny and Wheeler have friends w»o
would like to see them at the head.
In the reorganization of the board of
aldermen no change is anticipated. Presi
dent Huiber and Vice President Dob-er
are in evary way acceptable to the mem
bers, and they will be re-elected.
Another matter that must receive oon
sideration at the meeting of the common
council is the e-lection of a market mas
ter. M. 1,. Bevand is the present in
cumbent, and statements made by tne
members bear out the oplr.i.n that he
will be re-elected.
Ordinarily at this meeting wo'Jld taKe
place the election of four mcm'b-rrj cT
the board of abaUmert and equalization,
but when the members of these two com
mittees were named a yfar a?o their
election did not take place until July IZ,
consequently a fuil year must expire 'be
fore their successors can be nimed. Tnis
will require the calling of another meet
ing of the joint bodies.
DIPLOMAS FOR GRADS
(.-OMMEAC F.'MECVT EXERCISES AT
THE "L" SCHEDUIiED FOR
THURSDAY.
Pour hundred students of the Univer
sity of Minnesota will receive diplomas
Thursday morning: from the hands of
President Northrop. The commencement
exercises will take place in the audito
rium at the armory. The class of 19)1 is
the largest in the' history of the uni
versity. It is divided as follows: Aca
demic department, including 1 the school
of engineering, ISO; law, 110; medicine,
including school of pharmacy, 110.
There will be no orations delivered "by
students at the commencement exercises,
and the ceremoney will be a simple one.
Andrew S. Draper, president of the Uni
versity of Illinoois, will deliver an ad
dress to the graduates, and the diplomas
will be awarded to the successful candi
dates for degrees. Arrayed in cap and
gown the seniors will assemble at the
library building at 9:30 o'clock, and, head
ed by the members of the faculty, will
march to the armory.
Th faculty held its last meeting of
the college year yesterday morning, and
passed on the list of graduate-:. Tttie
committee on music recommended tnat
a course in music be established, and tne
faculty unanimously adopted the report
of the committee. The matter will be
decided by the board of resents, wh.cn
meets in President Northiop's office this
morning. The regents will undoubtedly
abolish all degrees but that of Bachelor
of Arts in the academic department. The
faculty has already recommended that
this action be taken. The adoption of tha
semester plan, which goes into effect next
year, will bring about a raise In the fees
of the students. For the past few years
students in the academic d>partm»nt
have paid $5 for each of the three terms,
$15 in all. It is expectea that the regent*
will raise this sum to $20, $10 for each,
semester.
This afternoon at 3 o'clock the alumni
association will meet in the chapel, and
tonight at the same place Pi of. George
E. Hale, of the University of Chlcj^i,
will deliver an addres3 to the scientltic
society, Sigmaxi, on "Stellar Evolution in
the Light of Recent Research." The
senior promenade will also occur this
evening at the Armory. Thursday after
noon the alumni of the university will
hold a banquet in the armory, and Presi
dent and Mrs. Northrop will receive in
formally at the close.
IMPROVE INDIAN MOUNDS.
ParU Board I'intliiiscs Fifteen Acres
o£ Adjoining' Lund.
Under the new law permitting the pur
chase of land for park purposes at an
expenditure not to exceed $8,000 in one
year, the park board at a meeting yester
day authorized the purchase of fifteen
acres of land adjoining Indian Mounds
park.
The land obtained is in the neighbor
hood of the state fisheries, and whe%that
department is improved by the state it
will make Indian Mounds one of the pret
tiest small parks in the city. The board
has been quietly negotiating the purchase
of this land for some months, and in
order to head off speculation has kept
the matter a secret. The purchase will
go to the board of aldermen tg'.s evening
for its approval. The land cost about
$30,000, and will be paid for in three
yearly installments.
Far "Wives and Families.
Mrs. Dr. Appleby, chairman of the en
tertainment committee, will hold a recep
tion from 4 to 6 this afternoon, at her
residence, 226 Summit avenue, at which

SERIES OF CONVENTIONS CAUSES
DINING ROOM MEN TO BE
COME RESTLESS
HIGHEK WAGES ASKED FOR
Hotel mid Restaurant Proprietors
Are at Partial Disadvantage,
uud Some Concessions
Have Been Made.
Whatever question there may have been
as to its benefits to others, the present
convention season has been generally re
garded as a harvest, pure arid simple,
to the hotelkeepers and proprietors of
restaurants. But the hotel man finds
that even a rush of business has its at
tendant disadvantages, and beside the
hopeless struggle to accommodate many
times the number of guests that his
house will possibly hold, ami to give each
individual the best there is in the house,
he has other troubles of which the gen
eral public know nothing, but vhich if
continued for any great length of time
would certainly drive him hopelessly in
sane.
The waiters of the city, or a portion of
them at least, have taken advantage
of the present unusual press of business
to force upon their employers certain
concessions in the matter of wages and
privileges, and the employers finding
themselves helpless to make any resist
ence, under the existing conditions, ap
parently have no course but to submit.
The movement is by no means general,
owing to the fact that the waiters them
selves are of three different classes,
white men and girls, and colored men,
and also to different conditions pertain
ing to their different places of employ
ment. Therefore whatever action has
been taken or is contemplated has ap
plied separately to certain hotels or cer
tain restaurants. Then, too, some of
the employers, anticipating trouble, fore
stalled it by adjusting matters with their
help in advance.
The white men waiters recently organ
ized and adopted a scale of wages. This
scale, some of the hotels and restaurant*
which employ that class of waiters were
already paying, except as regards certain
kinds of service in which a 'slight ad
vance was made. In such case 3an ad
justment without trouble will probably
be reached, but some of the restaurants
and smaller hotels where white men aie
employed fear that there may bo a strike.
For some time past there have been
white men in the dining room at the
Merchants, and yesterday the union Scale
was presented to Manager Ktttbe for his
approval, l^ast night he had not yet
acted upon it, but he stated that the |
prices were about the same as the hotel
had been paying, except for an i'lVance :
for service at banquets. Further than
that he declined to make any statement.
At the Clarendon, Mr. Foley stated that
he had heard some talk of an organiza
tion among the men waiters, but had not
yet heard from them as to a new scalo
of wages. He also employed some girls,
he said, but as far as he knew there
no dissatisfaction among them.
White men are al^o employed at the
Metropolitan hotel, and it is understood
that the union scale will be presented to
Col. Barker for his consideration.
At the Windsor girls are employed in
the main dining room, and men in the
cafe, where the number of waiters is
comparatively small. 'Some time ago
Col. Monfort took up the convention
question with his employes and adjusted
the matter of wages.
Many of the larger restaurants em
ploy union men and have already agreed
to the scale, and some of the others have
consented to advance the wages of their
help during the rush.
HONOR OF WOODMEN.
MAYOR SMITH ISSUES A PROCLA-
MATION FOR JUNE 1.3.
The Woodmen desire that there shall be
a gen-eral suspension of business Thurs

the membership throughout the state ap
proximates £0,000.
"In sustainment of the high reputation
of St. Paul as a convention city, and in
order to attest the sincerity of the wel
come which the municipality extends to
its forthcoming guests, I desire to rec
ommend that each and every individual
resident of our city shall co-operate in

There have bean Jack the Hungers,
Jack the Kissers,, Jack the CUppers ana
various other kinds of Jacks. It remain
ed for St. Paul to evolve an entirely new
member of the species. Jack the Tele
phoner has arrived! He has thus been
christened by a 'bevy of young matrons
on St. Anthony hill, who speak his name
in excited whispers. Eeyond that name
all la mystery, dark and forbidding mys
tery.
As Jack the Hugger's pet penchant was
the ©mfbraeing of unwilMng damsels; as
Jack tho Kisser's partiju'.ar weai-nss
was frequent O3culatory indulgences
with lassies Who did not at all resembe

the thieving line. Yet so delicate has
been the gentleman's method, so nJce a
sense has he Shown of the aesthetic nt
ness of things that cne almost hesitates
before condemning him. But he is s.ea:

fair sex. In fact Jack only rcserr. 1. le3
other Jacks in that Use fair sex i* the

about the family and then ring? up
"Is this Mrs. B? asks a cultivate! mai
culine voice over the 'phone. If by
chance it is the maid, Mrs. B. is sum
moned. It's the "lady of the ho se" or
noibody with Mr. Jack the Tehp'r.ener.
The conversation that follows is always
mystifying to the lady at ttia 'phone.
Doubtless it is amusing to Jack. He
speaks like an p!d acquaintance &nl
gTibly evading tHi? sure-to-be-askfd ques
tion, "Who is this?'..mentions the latest

is Jack Who invariably breaks eff the
conversation, leaving the lady at t'e
other end of the 'phone in a condition
of nervous perplexity.
"He has such a trice, refined vclce and
he is so evidently up to date," said one
flustered matron, discussing at a small
luncheon the audacious creature. ' When
he called me up I was-certain it was
Mr. X., who was coming up that ve*y
evening with his wife to have dinner, but
Mr. X. said that he'had never telephon
ed."
"Mrs. B. had a more annoying experi
ence than that," rested another matron.
She and her husband were going to dine
with Mr. and Mrs. A., who are tiuir best
friends, you know. Early in the after
noon the telephone rang, and Mrs. B. an
swered it. "This is Jay," said a mas
culine voice. "Now Jay is the name of
Mr. A., but although the four are old
friends the women are not in ths h b t
of calling their friend's husband by his
first name. However, Mrs. B. passed it
off, and after a remark about the weathfr
the man said, "I'm coming up to dinner
tonight. Will explain when I get thcr\"
and ibefore Mrs. B. had time to m:re
than gasp the man rung off. She was in
a dilemma. She waited awhile and then
called up Mr. A.'s office, but was to.d

no telephone at the nouse. When her
husband came 'hcroe the to>ld him, and
he suggested that they tetter wait at

"And who, indeed?" queries many o >iers.
GETS ANOTHER SET-BACK
COMMERCIAL. ni>O'CK: HEATING
FRANCHISE REFERRED BACK.
The promoters of the Commercial block,
now in, course ■of construction at the
corner of Sixth and Cedar streets, are !
having anything "but an easy time in se- i
curing consideration by the assembly of
their application for a heating and light
ing franchise. f!j?>
At the meeting of the committee en
streets of the assembly yesterday after
noon, a representative of the promoters ,
made every inducement possible to se- j
cure immediate 1' consideration on the
ground that delay would , inconvenience
them in the construction of the building, j
but the members "could'■ not ■ see'it that ;
way, and referred fHft matter to the legal !
department to draw up another ordi
nance, stronger and- -more explicit In its
demands of the'new company.
To the granting of the franchise, G. R. j
O'Reilly, representing ; property owners
along Sixth street,' west of the Mann
hc-lmer block, entered ai most emphatic
protest, contending lhat the benefit to be
derived by the city was not adequate to i
the expense' that would be exacted of
the property owners by reason of the
tearing up of the asphalt paving. Ac
cording to the ordinance it was a private
enterprise, benefiting: only at few and
could not be construed f.s a competitive
concern, from which' the many would de- r
rive a benefit.
The company is perfectly agreeable to
the 5 per cent provisions of the new
charter, but what is bothering the assem
blymen is how to compute ' the city's
share. All the buildings to be served, it
is understood, a.r-3 under the control of
the Tindicott syndicate and this would
virtually prohibit. the city from sharing in
the profits unless a fixed rate for heat,
and light was established. It is contend
ed that to give the Endioott company the
best part of the business district, and al
low them to furnish -'light and heat only
to those they may see fit, would b3 ai
rank injustice to other companies that
may enter the field. j!
The assembly has;, shown itself favor
able to a lighting and heating franchise,
but the present company will have to
aerree to many changes and restrictions
In their present application before it is
granted. That is the sentiment at pres
ent displayed by the members of the as
sembly.

the Pupils— OUtmm Day
Exercised.
The St. Paul Central high school will
graduate eighty-five pupils this month.
Last year the graduates numbered 115,
just thirty more than thia year. Many
reasons are given to account for this
falling off in the number of graduates.
The class of 1901 was a small entering
class. Then, an unusually large number
finished in, mid-winter, many of tham
having made up the half yeaV after en
tering with the fall class. The closing

observance of this class day will be some
thing of a departure from the usual man
ner of celebration. In the evening, at

Maurice Dunlap, o fthe graduating class,
wMI be given. There will be original
music, libretto and dances and the ex
travaganza will introduce all the time
honored class day observances, present
intr tho knife, reading Wie class histories
and the addresses of the class omcers.
Misa Helen Austin will direct the play, in
which each of the eighty-live pupils will
rave a part.
The commencement exercises will be
held June 13 at the Grand, end the fol

fiEN. POPE STILL BUSY
INVESTIOATION OF COUNTY AU
DITOR RECORDS IS CONTINUED.
Public Examiner Pope has not yet
abandoned or completed his official inves
tigations of the affairs at the office of
County Auditor Johnson, of Ramsey
county. It was supposed that with the
termination of the hearing before Gov.
Van Sant last week, which resulted in
the discharge from the ofBc& of Harry
Griswold, Mr. Johnson's chief deputy,
the tax refundment entanglement
had come to a close, but a different as
pect was given the affair yesterday
morning, when Gen. Pope, through his
deputies, resumed his investigation.
The public examiner Is not at all con
tent to believe that all the "official er
rors" in this matter of issuing warrants
for tax abatements, in the absence of
the certificates, have been brought to the
surface, and he is determined to have
disclosed all records which are likely to
throw further light upon the situation.
With that end in view, Gen. Pope detailed
two of his deputies, W. D. Harris and
H. C. Koerner, yesterday to continue the
Investigations at the county auditor's of
fice. The men were at work all day.
They were seen In the afternoon by a re
porter for the Globe, but declined to
make any statements regarding the prog
ress of their work.
The ferreting of Mr. Johnson's records
has not been renewed merely upon the
supposition that, since the former in
vestigation revealed such glaring official
transgressions, a further insight into the
affairs of the office will show up addi
tional derelictions, but Gen. Pope is con
vinced that he has a firm basis upon
which to operate and is impelled from a
sense of duty to continue the search.
Gen. Pope examined several persona
privately in his office yesterday. Their
presence before him had been invited by
means of subooenas.
The present trouble Is understood to
relate chiefly to abatements, said to have
been illegally granted by the Ramsey
county board of equalization. This trans
action probably bears an intimate rela
tionship in character to that of the tax
refundment cases recently uncovered by
Gen. Pope.
I'lii 11 Evangelistic Campaign.
The executive committee of the Metho
dist Ministers' association met yesterday
afternoon in the parlors of the Y. M. C.
A., and mapped out a preliminary pro
gramme for the summer's evangelistic
work. The arrangements are to be com
pleted at a subsequent meeting.

TRIP TO Lt.4K_E KORONTS.
JCe-wSpaper men of St. Paul and Minne
apolis to the number of thirty were the
guests during Saturday afternoon, Sun
day and 'Monday morning of the passen
ger officials of the Soo Line. It wag the
annual outing tendered the scribes by
General Passenger Agent W. R. Callaway
and Assistant General Passar.ger Agent
W. S. Thorne. Dining and sleeping cars
■were placed at the disposal of the party
Saturday afternoon sum! .' hauled to
Paynesville that evening, where they
were sidetracked until yesterday morn-
Ing, when the return trip was made.
All of Sunday the newspaper men for
got that there ever was a Sunday news
paper, and devoted the entire day to nan-
Ing in Lake Koronia, a beautiful- little
"body of water that lies a couple of miles
out from Paynesville. And, while not
many newspaper men are expert anglers,
they were fairly successful in their flirt
ing with the tinny tribe. The total catch
numbered 270, and a large percentage or
them were the finest of black bass end
pike. The average weight of the entire
catch was said to 'be one and three-quar
ters pounds.
While the newspaper men were busily
engaged in fishing or thinking of filling.
Col. Callaway and Mr. Thorne, assisted
by Warren D. Hughes and H. M. Liewls,
as aids, were devoting themselves to
looking after the comforts of the party,
and the succeeded admirably. At Paynts
villethe Soo Line officials were relnforce.t
by Dr. Pilon, mayor of the little city.
Mayor Pilc-n threw the town wide open
and proved" himself a very excellent of
ficial. The doctor provided equipment of
all kinds to those who had neglected to
•bring necessary tackle, and h o personal
ly directed a large part of the fi in,'.
To him was due the success of sev» a:
of the less experienced fishermen.
The newspaper men of St. Paul and
Minneapolis have enjoyed the hospitality
of the Soo Line officials on fishing ex
cursions for a number of years, but that
one Which has just passed into his lory
will stand out above the rest as the most
pleasant of all because of the beautiful
spot which was selected for. the outing
and the unlimited hospitality provided.

strong speech was made by Uov. Anna
Shaw, Philadelphia, as to tl-.o attitude
in which the convention stands towara
passing of laws for the eegngratl :n or
vice In the cities of the United Stv.es.
'Miss Shaw said: "No -worse law indor
the sun than that for the segregation or
