POLICE PROTECT HIE
DAHLSTROM FAILS TO STIR IP A
RIOT YESTERDAY
The so-called "Rev." Albert Dahlstrom,
the street "missionary," who so narrow
ly escaped from the hands of a mob Fri
day evening, again addressed a large
audience at Payne avenue and Jessamine
yesterday afternoon. A great many peo
ple went to hear him, some to listen
kindly to what he bad to say and others
to' repeat the reception given him on
Friday evening. when it required the
interference of the police to save him
from very rough usage. He spoke few
•nearly two hours, haranguing the people
about the failure of the church to carry
out the injunctions of the Bible. At
times the crowd became very restless,
and, had it not been for the presence of
officers in civilian clothes, there is no
doubt but that Che meeting would have
been broken up.
Daihistrom was arrested, as It will be
remembered, Friday eve-ruing on a charge
of disorderly conduct. His bail was set
at $15, and the trial was fixed for Sat
urday. For some reason he failed to ap
fpe-a-r In court Saturday and his bail was
forfeited. The ball, however, was not
turned Into th© city treasury, and Judge
Hine said that If he appeared in court
Wednesday with a suitable excuse for his
absence on Saturday the hail would not
be forfeited, but tHe case would be re
opened. Dahlstrom's friends say that he
has secured the assistance of a lawyer,
and that he wIH appear In court Wednes
day to fight the* case pending against
fern.
The feeling against Dahlstrom ln the
Payne avenue district is getting so strong
that it is not safe for him to attempt
to speak without police protection, and
had it not been for the fact that his
audience yesiterday was constrained by
the presence of police In civilian clothes
it Is doubtful if he could have conducted
his meeting without the greatest diffi
culty. As it was he was interrupted sev
eral times by those who wished to argue
with him, but no serious demonstrations
occurred.

WHITE MEW AT MERCHANTS' HO
TEL SUPPLANTED BY COL
ORED EMPLOYES ;■;.■ 777
SERIOUS TROUBLE IS FEARED
Difficulty Arose Over Scale of Wages
Adopted by Union Prior to
the Woodmen Con
vention.
When the guests at the Merchants
hotel went to the dining room yesterday
morning for breakfast they found, in
stead of the white male waiters who
had served them previously, a full crew
of colored men under the direction of a
colored head waiter. This change In con
ditions which have existed at the Mer
chants' for some years past is the out
come of negotiations between Manager
Klbbe and the Waiters' alliance during
•the past two weeks, and was not entirely
a surprise to those who were acquainted
with the circumstances.
Two weeks or more ago the wh'te
waiters of the city organized under the
above • mentioned name and adopted a
union scale of wages which they pre
sented to their several employers for
approval. Whether they chose that time
with the feeling that in view, of the large
conventions in prospect the employers
could not afford to refuse any demand
that they might elect to make, is, of
course, an open question, but Manager
Klbbe and others who were similarly
situated, regarded their course as an
unfair act of coercion. As was stated
in the Globe at the time, Mr. Kibba
and nearly all of the other employers of
white male waiters were constrained,
under the circumstances, to agree to the
union scale of wages. This scale w s
not materially different from that paid
at the Merchants' hotel before, except
as to a slight advance for services at
banquets, but Mr. Kibbe resented the
fact that his waiters, whom he felt he
had treated fairly, should dictate terms
to him, when he was practically ln a
helpless position, and from the more re
cent developments It is apparent that
he resolved to retaliate at the earliest
favorable opportunity. Yesterday the
white waiters at the hotel were informed
that they were about to be discharge!
and anticipated that action by quitting,
but Mr. Kibbe had already made all ar
rangements for putting the colored men
to work, and was therefore not incon
venienced.
It was expected that a meeting of the
Waiters' alliance would be held yester
day to take action upon this occurrence,
but owing to the faot that most of the
members were busy at their places of em
ployment none was held.
Mr. Kibbe, when seen at the hotel yes
terday afternoon, said:
"Yes, they are gone, and they have
themselves to thank for It. They took
an unfair advantage of me by coming
down upon me when I could not help
myself, and I have simply acted' for the
best interests of my business. That union
cost me a gre*at deal of money last week
that was unnecessarily spent, and I did
not propose to have anything more of
the kind. There are some of the men
who were discharged that I really felt
very sorry to see go, for they have been
at the house for years and I had become
attached to then:. But they were poor
ly advised, and now they must take the
consequences with the others. The trouble
was all sitirred up -by a few that were
dissatisfied, and would be dissatisfied no
matter where they might be. I thought
that ■ everything had been- satisfactorily
arranged, for I haJd voluntarily offered
the men extra pay for the week of the
Woodmen's convention, but I suppose the
few Who conducted that movement
thought they could do much better and
that they would be losing an- opportunity
by not doing so when they nad me en
tirely at their mercy. There were about
twenty of the men in all and most of
them were old employes."
James Traxrey, president of local
Walters' Alliance No. 43, made the fol
lowing statement of the Merchants' hotel
case to the >« lobe yesterday afternoon:
"On Monday morning last; our com
mittee on wage scale called on Mr. Kibbe
and presented the official scale as ap
proved by this local alliance, asking him
when-we should call for an answer. We
were told by Mr. Kibbe to call at S
o'clock that afternoon. The committee
called at the appointed time, but Mr.
Kibbe was not in. On Tuesday morning
the committee called again, and the con
tract was returned to them by Mr. Kibbe
duly signed and dated. In answer to an
inquiry as to whether everything in the
scale was satisfactory Mr. Kibbe gave
an affirmative answer. There was no
change made in the wages op working
hours of the men ln Mr. Klbbe's em
ploy. The only concession asked was
that steady employes, working at ban
quets, receive the same pay as the extra
men, instead of 75 cents, as had been
the custom. The reason for that was
that the regular employes were expected
to. stay and clear the dining room and
rearrange the tables for breakfast on
the following morning, which often* kept
them until 2 or 3 o'clock. When that
matter was brought before th? aliance
It was decided that the men were cer
tainly entitled to S2 for banquets, in
stead of 75 cents. We also • asked that
the men be paid $5 extra for the week
of the Woodmen's convention. it is the
aim of the alliance to be fair with the
employers, and we feel that we have
asked no concessions that were not ab
solutely fair."
It is feared that the situation at pres
ent does not warrant a peaceful con
tinuance of relations between the man
agers and waiters of other local hotels
where union men are employed. The
union had a meeting called for last
night, but it did not materialise.
FIRE FROM GASOLINE.
MYSTERIOUS BLAZE CAUSES $1,100
DAMAGE.
A very mysterious fire broke out yes
terday afternoon in the residence of A.
Juris, 220 East Ninth street, which re
sulted in about $600 damage to the build
ing and about $500 damage to the con
tents. The contents were insured to the
amount of $2,500, and the building, which
is owned by I. Rose, is also insured.
According to the story told by Mrs.
Juris, who was at home alone, her hus
band being out of the city, the fire was
caused by a gasoline stove explosion.
The explosion occurred while she was in
another room of the house. She ran out
of a rear door and a still alarm was
turned in. No one was hurt-
Directly behind the piano In the parlor
there was a large black spot burnt in
the side of the wall which could not te
accounted for. Another peculiar incident
of the fire was the fact that the tank of
the gasoline "stove was still half-full of
gasoline when the department arrived.

The brakemen at work with the crew
were Ed Lee and A. C. Walters and
the foreman of the crew was L. C. Ben

LAST SESSION THIS MORNING
Salem Chnrch Dedicated Yesterday
Afternoon and Informal Reception
Held During the Evening at
Residence of Pastor.
Held.
The programme for the fifth day of
the tenth anniversary of the Synod of the
Northwest ls now a memory, it being
carried out in the Memorial English
Evangelical Lutheran church yesterday,
according to amnounceiments. At the
morning service tflie sermon was deliver
ed by Rev.. R. F. Weidner, president of
the Chicago Theological seminary. Dur
ing the evening session, which was the
•moot interesting, three addresses were
delivered by Rev. G. H. Trahert, D. D.;
Rev. W. K. Frick, and Rev. A. J. D.
Haupt, respectively. The subject of Rev.
Trabert's address was "The Blade, or
Pioneer Days!" He spoke -of the early
struggles leading up to the formation of
a synod. Rev. Frick spoke about "The
Ear, or Syrnodioal Days." He said that
few Church people realized what the
struggles had been In the early _ays of
the synod. It is now just ten years since
It had been formed, and then the bound
. ary was "Milwaukee on the east and
Fargo on the west. Since that time the
synod had extended clear to the Pacific
coast. There were, to begin with, about
seven pastor's, and the number has been
more than trebled and the number of
communicants and churches had increas
ed proportionately. In the early years
the Churches had many influences to
overcome for the reason that; the Lu
therans comprised many nationalities,
but now everyone can see waat good
work has been accomplished and Chil
dren can worship in the religion of their
fathers, and in the English tongue.
Rev. .A. J. D. Haupt spoke about "The
Full Corn, or thin Future," and he said
he knew and felt it would be as bright
as the past few years had been.
During the 'afternoon the Salem Church
in Minneapolis was dedicated. The ser
mon was delivered by Dr. R. F. Weidner.
Dr. G. H. Trabert is pastor of the
church.
Tills morning the closing exercises of
the synod will be 'held, and the afternoon
will he devoted to an outing at one of
the neighboring lakes. An informal re
ception will toe held In t)he evening at
the residence of Rev. A. J. D. Haupt,

GRAMME.. -
One hundred and ten Bohemian chil
dren had a picnic yesterday afternoon
at Schade's park, on West Seventh
street. It was a big day for the chii:
dren and they enjoyed themselves huge
ly. They all are pupils of the Bohemian-
American school, conducted at C. S. P.
S. hall, on West Seventh street, Satur
days by Vaslav Picha. ,
The pupils assembled at the hall at 1:30
o'clock and from there marched In pa
rade to the park, where the ladies of
the C. S. P. S. had prepared a luncheon.
The programme consisted of drills, recita
tions and songs, the main feature of the
day being the singing of "America" in
English and then Bohemian. For this
the children formed In a circle and
waved flags while singing the . song.
Many proud parents of the children were
present during the exercises, and they
all enjoyed it as much as the children.
The work of this school, judged from
the children's exhibitons, reflects great
credit upon its promoters, and the evi
dent pride of the parents is entirely nat
ural.
Struck by Lightning-.
The house owned and occupied by An

Rev. G. Hoyme, President of United
Church of America, Delivers
Address to ' 3,000
People.
"For the United church I now lay the
corner stone of* this seminary, in the
name of the Father, the Son and the
Holy Ghost."
Thus spoke Rev. 'G. Hoyme, ox Eau
Claire, Wis., president of the United
Norwegian Lutheran Church of America,
at St. A—tihony Park yesterday after
noon. Fully 3,000 people were present
while the services were in progress and
the stone was being laid. In tihis thremig
were about 1,000 people from Northfield.
100 pastors from all parts of the coun
try and the students' brass band, from
the St. O-l-af college.. The Twin Cities
furnished the major portion of the crowd.
Rev. T. J". Tjornhom, of Fergus Falls,
presided at the services. The dedicatory
sermon was delivered by Rev. L. . at.
Bjorn. of Z iamb rota.- Others who spoke
were Rev. J. N. Kildaihl, president of the
St. Olaf college at North-eld 1; Rev. C.
H. Y. Shute, president of the Joint Lu
theran Synod of Ohio, and Rev. Ivar
Tharald_&n, of Madison, who gave an
historical sketch. The services were in
the Norwegian language. Tho comer

the Latin inscription, "Veritatem facien
tes in dharitate." Beneath Che inscription
are the words,.,'. United Norwegian
Lutheran Church of America," and the
seal of the church, . with the date 1890.
On the other side of the stone is the
date, A. D. 1900. Just before President
Hoy-me laid the stone in its. place, the
entire audience recited the -* apostles
creed.
It is not generally known how the
United Church, as it is commonly called,
has grown since its organization in ISSO.
The ohurch, or affiliation of churches,
was founded by three Norwegian Lu
theran synods, the Norwegian Lutheran
Brotherhood, the Norwegian Lutheran
conference and the Norwegian Augustana
synod. Since 1890;* tine membership has
doubled. There are now about 1,200 con
gregations in the United church. There
are 134,000 communicant members in all
and 400 clergymen. Congregations from
all over the United States oolong' to t_e
United church, hut the stronghold is in
the Northwestern^ states.
Last year the- sum- of $134,000 was raised
by the chiurch for building purposes. This
money is to be expended- for tne semi
nary at St. Anthony Park and a dormi
tory at Northfieui.' The corner stone of
the dormitory- was laid Saturday after
noon by President Hoyme. The dormi
tory costs $67,000 and the seminary $91,
--000. Only the Inner portion of the semi
nary now remains to be finished. Tne
seminary must not be confounuc.- wiui
the St. Olaf college. The former Is the
official seminary and the latter the of
ficial college. Its diplomas are recognized
by all leading universities. The semi
nary, which is a magnificent structure
will be completed this fall. To begin
with, 100 students will attend it, and
there will be four resident theological
professors.
WHITE PINE SHIPMENTS
VOLUME OIF BUSINESS SHOWS A
STEADY .. INCREASE.
The large increase in the volume of
business in white pine shipments for the
month of May and a comparative state
ment of the business for each month
this year may be obtained from the fol
lowing, taken from the Mississippi Val
ley Lumberman: -
The secretary of ,the Mississippi Valley
Lumbermen's association has made up
his table of shipments by rail of white
pine during the month of May, by firms
in the .Mississippi and Wisconsin valleys
that responded to his call for figures He
received four more replies than he did
or the previous month and six more than
for the first three months of the year.
The totals show a continued increase In
the volume of business both as compared
with the corresponding time of 1900 and
with the month of April of this year.
Seventy-four firms responded to his call
and the results are given in the follow
ing table. The table also shows -the bus
iness by months for the first five of this
year's and of--last, and the increase in
the volume of business for the time cov
ered:
1900. 1901. ' Increase.

This shows the ; increase in May bus
iness over May of last year of 48,868,239
teet, or 21- per cent- The increase of
00,000,000 feet over the total of shipments
during the month of April is, of course
partly accounted for by the added num
ber of firms that sent In reports, but
not all of it can be attributed to the bus
iness of the four Arms, so there is a rec
ord of a increase in the volume of
business as the yea:- advances. The total
Increase of the five months over the
same five months of last year is 153,120,
--214 feet, or 21.9 per cent. The seventy
firms reporting for April showed average
shipments during the month of 2,796.489
feet per firm. The seventy-four firms that
reported for May shipped on an average
3,091,370 feet. One reason for the large
Increase in the volume of business was
the. fact that the manufacturers have not
been obliged to turn down as many or
ders as they were during the earlier
months of the year. A large amount of
green lumber has been shipped, but every
day puts stocks In better shipping condi
tion.

about something the craft suddenly cap
sized inf our feet of water. Cronin went
to the bottom, where his head was so
deeply embedded in the soft mud that
he could not extricate himself. Miss
Ellswanger clung to the boat and shouted
for help, and In a few minutes she at
tracted the attention of three young
men at the opposite side of the lake.
They were John and George Glrsch and
Joseph Bauer. The young men rowed
across the lake, a distance of half a
mile, as quickly as possible, but did not
arrive until about twenty minutes after
the accident had taken place. The girl
was quickly hauled into the boat of the
rescuers, and the search for the body
of her companion was at once com
menced. It was found almost imme
diately, but when brought to the sur
face all hope of resuscitation was gone.
The water was less than five feet deep,
but the head of the unfortunate young
man was found to be more than half
imbedded in the sand. It is thought that
he was suffocated before he could make
any effective efforts to release himself.
From the accounts of the rescuing
party It appears that Miss Ellswanger
was shouting for some time before It
was realized that something wrong had
happened. Finally the screams of the
young woman attracted their serious at
tention, and a hurried trip to the other
side of the lake was made. On arriving
at the scene of the accident they found
Mies Eliswanger standing ln the shallow
water, and almost on the verge of hys
terics. She informed them that her
companion had not come to £__ surface
and a hurried search resulted in bringing
his lifeless body from the mud.
Cronin was employed at the St. Paul
foundry, where he had worked for a
number of years; was well known and
well liked by the employes of the com
pany; was twenty-eight years of age and
single.
As soon as the body was recovered
thft coroner. Dr. A. W. Miller, was noti
fied, and he pronounced death to be due
to drowning.
BUSINESS MEN UNITED.

CIATION HOLDS IMPORTANT
MEETING.
'j-'he West Sidle larnprovement associa
tion will hold an Important meeting this
evening at 191 South Wabasha street. A

pointed a committee to present to the
Omaha road authorities a certain plan
for the solution of the spur track prop
osition, as has been reviewed by the
Globe, and this committe will have a
report to make at the meeting tonight.
Another committee was also appointed
to consult with the council regarding re
paying South Wabasha street. This com

meeting the council, and will therefore
.not be able to report. A conference will
be held by the committee and' the council

will be made.
"We over there on the West side are
very proud of that little island which is
so dear to Br. Ohage," said E. H. Wood,
a prominent member of this business or
ganization," it is the 'best and most con
venient parte we have, and wie would be
the last ones to interfere with anything
that ls done to promote its interests. We
are glad the baths have been establish
ed Uhere and that such a man as Dr.
Ohage is the promoter of them. It makes
a fine place for our children and families
to go and enjoy themselves without any
fear of danger or harm."

SOLEMN SERVICES AT PEOPLE'S
CHURCH EN HONOR OF
THEIR DEAD
SERMON BY BR. JAMES CHURM
Hundreds of "Xel«*-libors" Form in
Line and March to the
Church to Par
ticipate.
Following closely on the adjournment
of their national convention the Modern
Woodmen of America yesterday cele
brated their fraternal memorial day. In
St. Paul the day was made one of spe
cial significance, and the various lojges
of the city participated in the te:e
monies, having a representation of . < v
eral hundred members. The religious
services were conducted at the People's
church, and a well arranged programme
of exercises was rendered.
At 1:30 p. m. hundreds of Woodm:n
gathered at Smith park, where a long
line of march was formed. A. H. Hooper,
of Minnehaha camp, assumed the plac3
of chief marshal. The men made a.beau
tiful appearance, as they took their places
in the continuous line and started upon
their march for the church. With Mar
shal Hooper at the -head the line pro
ceeded along the best thoroughfares. In
front of each camp was Its respective de
gree team.
The exercises in the church began with
a voluntary by Prof. Titcomb. The open
ing ode of the order was then verged,
and S. C. Olmstead delivered a very elo
quent address on the roll call of the dead.
Unity camp quartette rendered a very
pleasing selection, and the prayer was
offered by Rev. S. G. Smith, pastor of the
church. Mrs. J^ine Huntington Tale sang
a pretty solo, and then began the ser
mon of the Rev. James Churm, D. D.,
head -chaplain of the order. It was an
interesting discourse, designed fittingly
for the occasion. It dwelt upon the fra
ternal and altruistic features of the order
and the solemn duty of the Woodmen to
their dead.
The congregation sang that old inspir
ing hymn, "Nearer. My God, to Thee,"
and an offertory was sung by Mrs. Yale.
The Unity camp quartette gave another
selection, the lodge members observed
their closing ode, and the Rev. Mr. Smith
dismissed the congregation with the ben
ediction.
To the Woodmen this memorial occa
sion is one of solemn importance, an
the depth of feeling manifested yester
day was well in keeping with the charac
ter and purpose of the event.
