UNCLE SAM'S BOYS
DETACHMENT OF FOURTEENTH IN
FANTRY FROM SAN FRANCISCO
ARRIVES AT SNELLTNG
FINE LOOKING BODY OF MEN
Magnificent Appearance 'of Nearly
Five Hundred Stalwart Sol- ': "
diers Who Won Lau
rels in China.
Travel-worn and somewhat chilled by
change of climate, the detachment of the
Fourteenth infantry, U. S. A., which has
recently been assigned to Fort Snelling,
arrived in St. Paul shortly after 7 o'clock
last evening, over the Northwestern
road. Upon arriving at the union depot
the troops were transferred without de
lay to street cars which were in wait-,
ing on the depot loop, and conveyed at"
.once to the fort. This comamnd is the,,
'second battalion of the Fourteenth, con-"
sisting of Campanles E, F. G, and 11, and -
comprises 14 officers and 447 enlisted men.
The present commanding officer is Lieut.
Col. William Quinton, Col. Joselyn being
on leave. The other officers are as fol
lows: Maj. Eltonhead, Capts.- Learnard,
battalion adjutant; Frazler, barttalion
commissary; Hasbrouck, and Weeks;
Chaplain Groves, Dr. Musgrove, and
Lieuts. Gohn, Bramblla, Regan, Dun. i
can, Major and Gregg. The regimental
band, which accompanies this battalion
and Is made up of enlisted men, is now
reduced to 13 members,, 14 of their mem
bers having taken advantage of the ex
piration of their time of enlistment and
left the service a- short time before the
regiment left San Francisco. The First
battalion of the Fourteenth has" been di
vided between- Fort Porter,- at Buffalo,
N. V., and Fort Niagara.
The appearance of the troops when
they arrived here last evening, even after
a week of railroad travel under condi
tions not the most luxurious, was such
as to detract in no particular from the
high reputation of the regiment to which
they belong and was entirely in keeping
with the creditable service record which
accompanies It from China and the Phil
ippines. No finer looking body of soldiers
has ever been seen in St. Paul. The men,
with but few exceptions, are young,
clean cut, well set-up, active-looking fel
lows, and as a body they are well
groomed and entirely soldierly. They
wear the khaki uniform with the cam
paign hat, but the uniforms are well-kept
and neat.
MAKE SPLENDID IMPRESSION.
Neatness and discipline appear to be
marked characteristics of the Fourteenth
as they were seen last evening during
the few moments that they remained at
the depot. Immediately upon the arrival
of the train disembarkation was begun
and without the least unnecessary, bustle
and confusion the cars were emptied and
the troops were formed in the road, be
tween the depot and the freight houses,
In light marching order.. Quite a few
friends of members of the command were
on hand to greet them, but their oppor
tunities for visiting were brief, and they
were compelled to give way to military
discipline. Roll call of each company
was taken and the order" to ' march was
then given. Without impeding the usual
traffic at the depot, the troops were
marched to Third Street, » and ■ -Wacouta
street, near Third, where eight trains of
two cars each were waiting on the street
railway loop. With much less fuss, than
is frequently seen at the corner of
Seventh and Wabasha streets in loading
one car, the entire -460 members..of the
command were embarked ln the cars and,
within thirty minutes- after the - train
pulled into the depot, were on their way
to Fort Snelling. . „.,;':.,;
QUINTON HERB IN 'SO's.-r:
Col. Quinton, who was seen by a rep
resentative of : the Globe for a • few
minutes at the depot, said that the trip
from San Francisco had, been a pleasant
one and that in the entire command there
were only two men on the sick list.
"I know quite a few people in your
city," remarked the colonel, "for I was
stationed here once- before with the Sev
enth infantry. 1 was here from -'79 to '--,
and I like Fort Smelling and St. Paul very
much. As soon as I can get .around to
it I shall look up my old friends. The
last duty I performed at this post," add
ed the colonel with a laoigh, "was as of
ficer of the guard. 1 Was first'lieutenant
then." ' V, '-![," "-
Pointing to two flags in"oilcloth cases,
the colonel said: "There are the colors
that waved above the wall of Pekin. If
you will visit us at the fort we will show
them to you."
HAS FINE RECORD.
The Fourteenth won an enviable record
for service in China. It was the second
regiment sent there from Manila and
was the first to scale the, Pekin wall.
Throughout the fighting done by the al
lied troops this regiment played a prom
inent part. From China the Fourteenth
returned .to Manila and last November
j was ordered to San Francisco, from
which place it has just been transferred
to Fort Snelling. ';"_"•-
Tonight Col. Ray, who has been in
command at Fort Snelling, will leave
over the N. P. road* for. Fort Harrison,
j Mont., where his regiment, the Eighth,
iis now stationed. He will be accom
j panied by Company C, of the Eighth,
which is now at Snelling, and about 101*
recruits just arrived from tile station at
Columbus, Ohio. The ohcr officers of the,
Eighth who will go to Harrison with
Col. Ray are Capt. Knudspn; Lieut.
Janda and Dr. Bradley.
ISSUE MANY PERMITS
BUILIMXG DEPARTMENT IS KEPT
BUSY FOR SOME DAYS.
Anxious to avoid the exacting condi
tions which the .new building code Im
poses, plumbing permit.3 in large numb,
have been issued to St. Paul plumbers

effect until Monday.
The anticipated- big building total for
August was swelled yesterday! when a
permit was granted to M. J. O'Neil for a
three-story apartment house to be located
at Dayton and Nelson avenues. It will
cost $75,000. and will be the- handsomest
building hi this line on the hill. It Is

'The preliminary order for the widening

THE ST. PAUL GLOBE, SATURDAY, AUGUST 31, 1901.
STORING THE FLUID
"MHSON ELECTRIC LIGHT COMPANY
PLANS ADDITION TO TRANS
FORMING STATION
THE COST WILL BE $85,000
Object Is to Be Prepared in Case
of Breakdown . to the
Company's Main
Plant.
The Apple River electric power plant
and the adjunct, the Cedar street trans
forming station, both belonging to the
Edison Electric Light and Power com
pany, -j are to be augmented in a- few
weeks by current storage facilities that
will make its capacity the greatest of .any
plant west of Chicago.
The new addition was provided for yes-
terday in the issuance of a permit by the
city building department, allowing the
construction of a three-story building,
which will be added to and which will
front the present story and a half sta
tion on Cedar street, between Fifth and
Sixth streets. The cost of the building
is given at $8,000, but the improved ma
chinery which will fill its three floors
will bring the local expedlture up to $85,
--000.
The addition contemplated is for the
purpose of taking care of surplus cur
lent, immense lead and acid batteries,
which will be Installed, furnishing a store
house that will provide energy in case
of accidents and the enforced breaking
down of the main plant. It will also
permit an evenness of service that will do
away with the present vagaries of the
fluid In its tendency at times to Hash and
run riot in its course through individual
lamps and transformers. r'Z'&V
The first floor of the new addition will
be simply an extension of the present
structure to the lot line and will allow
the addition of more transformers, while
on the two floors above will be installed
the heavy lead storage batteries, which
it is expected will double, the capacity of
the plant. The batteries, while of earth
enware, will be lined with porous lead and
in. the solution of acid which will fill
them will be suspended plates of lead.
Here surplus energy will find lodgment—
and it is needless to say that under the
present system plenty of it goes to
waste. Should the Apple River station
break down, the batteries will fill the
gap for a reasonable length of time-,
while the evenness of service which will
result, the promoters hold, will fully
compensate for any other trouble or cost
that will ensue.
Breakdowns since the station was
opened and trouble incident to an un
even current are largely responsible for
the addition, while the desire to take
care of increasing business in the de
mand for more current has also necessi
tated the improvement.
The plant up „o date, including the
great engineering feat at Apple River in
the shape of the big power station at
that point, has cost the promoters nearly
$800,000, and the company says that if
business demands it by another year the
expenditure will be brought up 10 the
million-dollar mark. ■„._
The Cedar street transforming station,
with the new addition when completed,*
will alone represent an expenditure of
$200,000.

RUNNERS ARE HARD HIT
NEW ORDINANCE GOVERNING THEM
VIRTUAIfLY PROHIBITIVE
The Resolution Revoking Murphy's
-License Ready for the Coun
cil—Two Other Permit-
Are Refused. „'-''"
A license rate that will be virtually
prohibitive, and.restrictions that will con
fine hotel runners to the immediate vicin
ity' of the'hostelrtes they represent, or,
better, patrol lines that will ketp* the
festive agent a tantalizing distance from
the gates of the union depot will be dis
tinctive features of the ordinance which
the' legal department is preparing at the
request of the council.
E. E. McDonald as the legal represen
tative' of the runners, scored a sound
point at. the meeting of the commute*
on streets of the board of. aldermen,
Thursday afternoon, when he held that
the traffic was legalized by the charter
to the extent that It could not be pro
hiibted, but admitted that the' business
might be surrounded by restriction that
would tend to publfo peace and harmony.
This opinion has -been accepted by the
legal department and in the drawing up
of the amended ordinance, the restric
tions imposed will be made sufficiently
strong to make the business anything but
remunerative. ii____V--
! The ordinance will restrict runners to
hotels, restaurants and railroad ticket
j shops and any attempt at side lines in the
way of "phony" jewelry, or "film nam'-
I games, will call for the Imposition of .a
j fine that will have a squelching effect.
i The,.majority of the runners, it is held,
i are honest, and make a fair bid for busi
ness, but there aTe several that have
I been under the eye of the police for
i some time, the gullibility of their victims
and a desire to withdraw from publicity
after having been fleeced, making their
conviction anything but easy.
The resolution for the annullment of
the license granted to Peter Murphy, has
been prepared 'and is now ready for the
council. Murphy has been arrested sev
eral times for "Incivility to strangers, but
conviction has *een hard to secure. His
last arrest was: the first time in the his
tory of the department, that he even con
sented to pay a fine, which he virtually
j did, by the forfeiture, of his bail.
Two months ago Joseph Burwill, J. H.
; Stockbridge, and Edward Ellis were mace
runners by the council, but failed to take
j out their licenses. Yesterday E. E. Mo
| Donald called and demanded the permits,
I but they were refused by City Clerk

• -A-small dog, a devoted mistress -and a

' personae in a brief but exciting drama
enacted about 2 o'clock yesterday after
noon. The stage was a slice of the Mis

or about a mile below ~""ort Snelling. A
gasoline launch held the excited audi

Toozes. Toozes was—and still is, thanks
to her mistress. Miss James—a dog.
But Toozes loves not boats nor the wa

along the river banks held the rapt at

doggish soul was steeped in gloom. As
the- launch floated merrily under Suicide

grewsome relish, unfolded. When the
haunts of man began to disappear and
the launch deftly dodged the floating
logs, Toozes forsook the crowd and hied
Her to the stern. Perched insecurely
there she abandoned her small self to
grief, and in the mental toss up of "to be
or not to be," the latter won out. There
was the tiniest sort of splash and Too
zes* 'career was perilously near its finish.
But Toozes reckoned without her mis
tress. For Miss James heard the splash,
and before any one had an inkling of
her intention she had slipped off her
shoes and was in after the dog.
The man who got his coat off followed.
The hero was Julian Barton, also a mem
ber of the party. Toozes, finding herself
in the water, apparently forgot her orig
inal intention, and with happy inconse
quence struck out for no place in partic
ular. Miss James struck out for Toozes.
Mr. Barton struck out for Miss James.
And because the finish wasn't exactly
certain nobody in the boat enjoyed the
drama. ' Encumbered though she was by
her clothes and a heavy bicycle skirt
Miss James proved herself a plucky
swimmer and soon overtook and captured
the suicidal Toozes. Holding her aloft
with one arm she swam with the other
for the boom of logs. Some men working
on the boom held out a pole and she
soon managed to pull herself out of the
water.
Mr. Barton was unable to breast the
current, which is particularly strong In
that part of the river, and he was pulled
en the boom considerably below where
Miss James was rescued. In putting the
launch a*bout some damage was done to
the steering apparatus, and the party
was delayed for half an hour at the
boom.
A landing was made at Mendota, where
Miss James and Mr. Barton were able to
dry their clother. Last night neither
seemed any the worse for their tussle
with the river.
Miss James is a daughter of Louis
James, the well known actor. She plays
the part of Simplicity Johnson in "Lov
ers' Lane."

COULD NOT BLUFF HALL
REV. DR. SINCLAIR TELLS OK PAX-
AMERICAN EPISODE.
Rev. Dr. John Sinclair, pastor of the
First Presbyterian church, returned yes
terday from an extended trip through the
Eastern states, and while away, found
time lei spend a few days at Buffalo), as
the guest of an Old friend, J. M. Adams,
one of the directors- of the exposition,
and chairman of the reception committee
for commissioners from all parts of the
world. I. P. Hall. Minnesota's commis
sioner, was there'at'the same time, and
on one ae.asion, when the doctor was at
the fair, an Interesting dispute^ was being
conducted between .Messrs. Hall and Ad
anis.
ii arose over the magnificent produc
tion of the a, v* capitol In butter, which
is the commanding attraction in th.- dairy
building" ' Air. Adams wanted >•> charge
Minnesota- -fc'-O for the space taken
up by the beautiful exhibit, but Mr. Hall
contended that on the contrary the expo
sition people should pay Minnesota some
thing for the splendid attraction it had
provided. To this Mr. Adams answered
that on Mr. Hall's own showing the but
ter capitol was the best advertise
that Minnesota had on the grounds, and
as such it s'lo.uld,.be liable for apace
charges. The commissioner from this
state, was not "phased*' by this reason
ing, for he pointed out that but for the
exhibit sent from Minnesota the attend
ance in Hi."- dairy building would be lim
ited to a few hundreds a day, Instead of
some "thousands." Mr. Adams had no re
ply to this and, the.- matter was dropped
at that, point; nothing more has been
heard about ii since. Mr. Sinclair says
that his observation strongly corroborates
the contentions of Mr. Hall. On .-very
bane- can be heard people inquiring for
the- wonderful butter masterpiece from
Minnesota, and he feels convinced that
thousands visit the building every day
for no other purpose than to see It!
Dr. Sinclair visited all the historic
points in the New England states asso
ciated with the early Puritans, aim while
he greatly admired the scenery to be
found at many of these places, he re
turns convinced that th- climate of Min
nesota is immeasurably superior to any
thing to be found further East.

Gustaf E. Claeson, whose- whereabouts
the judge advocate of the Schley court or
inquiry has been trying to discover; as
he may be wanted a^ a witness, i.s lying
in a private hospital In N<w York city.
Ths information was given the i. lob .■
yesterday by Carl E. Eklund, living at
"if) East Cook street, who returned from
Tee ill-, ail.- tl. Sweden, about three weeks
ago. Claeson is said to lie the man who
was at the- wheel -ill board the Texas dur
ing he battle of Santiago and lv- was
discharged from the receiving ship Ver
mont, 1 while at New .-.York. July . 18.:».
Claeson gave the name of Gertrude

records showed that she lived at No. 3

According to in. story tolel by Mr.
Eklund yesterday, he' ls personally ac
quaint el with Claeson, and also with his
brotht Franz Swanson, who is. still in
Sweden. Mr. Eklund visited Swanson a-t
his home In Torlhatten, Sweden; July 11.
Me- Hays thai when Claeson came to this
country he- change 'I his nam'* '.-. .Clans-,
son, and that it is not spelled Claeson. a_
th'- Inquiry from Washington gives it.
Mr. Eklund says that Franz Swahson
told him that he had received a letter
from his brother, Gustaf Claussen, in
which the- latter stated that ho had just
undergone an ope lon, as Ihe result of
being injured by the explosion of a shell
during the battle of Santiago, and was
in a private hospital in New York city. 1
.Mi-. Eklund did not feel at liberty, to
give the address of the hospital, however.
Continuing, .Mr. Eklund said ho felt
certain that he hael the correct address,
as he sent Claussen a letter addressed '•>
New York city, about Aug. :". anel wrote
a five-day return card on the envelope.
it has not come back, and this leads Mr.
!-:kli;i.el to believe that Claussen Is at the
address given by his brother. Mr. Kk
lund says ho intended to call on Claus
sen while In New York city, but could
not find the time to el" so. Ho also stat
ed that ho was very much surprised
when lie read in the papers yesterday
