DAIRY MEN ACTIVE
BESIEGING SENATORS TO SCPPOHT
OLEOMARGARINE
BILL
CIRCULARS SENT BROADCAST
(Senators Nelson and Clapp Deluged
With "Appeal No. 3" From
Tlieir Constitu
entM.
Some good people may not realize that
Minnesota is the "Bread ana Butter
State,"' but Senators Nelson and Clapp
are quite likely to concede it before
another week is ever. They have already
been deluged with circular letters urging
them to support the "anti-oleo" legisla
tion now known as the "new Grout bill,"'
upon which action in the senate is expect
ed to follow within a few days. Before
another week is over they will receive
another flood of these circular letters.
The dairy interests which are pushing
the bill have sent out a circular known
as "Appeal No. 3," which is to be signed
and sent to senators. Thousands of them
are circulating In Minnesota. They are
as follows:
Every argument which the dairymen
an-.i"allied dairy interests of this coun
try urge in support of the oleomargarine
bills before congress has the sanction of
the highest court of the land. The
most reasonable defense the makers of
this counterfeit have is the admitted
fact that genuine butter is largely col
ored. Thib defense has been pleaded in
court. Cognizance cf this plea was
takes in Capital City Dairy Company vs.
Ohio, an opinion in which was handed
down by Mr. Justice White, Jan. 6, 1902,
as follows?:
'"The supreme court of Ohio, however,
hating before it the evidence introduced
I'pon the issaes of fact made in the
pleadings, held that oleomargarine was
an article which might easily be man
ufactured so as to be hurtful, and thus
result in fraud upon and Injury to the
public, and that the inhibition of the
nst.' of coloring matter In oleomargarine
w.-is a reasonable police regulation tend
ing to insure the public against fraud
and injury. The purpose of the legisla
tion in permitting the use of harmless
coloring matter in butter and requiring
thar oleomargarine be sold in its natural
state, was declared not to be for the
purpose of discriminating in favor of
better, b.it to provide a ready means by
Which the miblic might know that an
RTtlcle offered for sale was butter and
not oleomargarine.
"It cannot in reason be said, as a mere
matter of judicial inference, that such
regulations for such purpose were a
mere arbitrary interference with the
rights of property, denying the equal
protection of the laws or that they
amounted to a taking of property without
due process of law. It follows that the
legislature of Ohio had the lawful power
to enact the regulations."
In Schollenberger vs. Perm. the United
Srates supreme court says (171 U. S.):
"This court held that a conviction un
der the Massachusetts statute for having
Bold an article known as oleomargarine,
not produced from unadulterated milk
or cream, but manufactured in imitation
of yellow butter produced from pure,
unadulterated milk or cream, was valid
Attention was called in the opinion to
the fact that the statute did not pro
hibit the manufacture or sale of all
oleomargarine, but only such as was col
orej in imitation of yellow butter pro
duced from unadulterated milk, or cream
of such milk. If free from coloration or

ingredient that caused it to look like
butter, the right to sell it in a separate
and distinct form and in such manner
as would advise the consumer of the real
character was neither restricted nor pro
hibited. The court held that under the
statute the party was only forbidden to
practice in such matters a fraud upon
the general public; that the statute seeks
to punnress false pretense and to pro
mote fair dealing in an article of food,
and that it compels the sale of oleomar
garine for what it really is by preventing
its sale for what it is not."
Three times have these laws been be
fore the United States supreme court
and in every instance has their validity
been upheld, and no state supreme court
has ever pronounced them unconstitu
tional.
Were we asking of you In the imposi
tion of this tax that you place such a
burden upon an article which had pre
viously borne a srood reputation, we
might be open to the charge of dis
crimination. But the article we seek
to bring into submission through this
tax is condemned by thirty-two legisla
tures as a fraud, and this sentence has
thrice been affirmed by the highest court
of our land.

Mayor Smith announced his appoint
ment of the committee of the board' of
county comr.iissioners yesterday morning
at the tegular meeting- of that body, and
the name of Commissioner Gray was the
one dropped from the joint court house
and city hail commission to make room
for that Of Commissioner Kelly, who is
the one Democrat upon the board beside
the mayor himself. The other members

The bond of Dr. C. A. Haas, ag deputy
coroner, was approved. The bond is in
the sum of $1,000.
A resolution by Commissioner Webster
was adopted appropriating $500 to be of
fered as a reward for the arrest and con
viction of any of the persons implicated
m the murder of Police Officer Mayer,
the sum to be payable upon the certificate
of the county attorney. In this connec
tion Mayor Smith said he understood
that it was the purpose of the city coun
cil to offer a similar reward, which would
increase the amount to $1,000.
County Jail Matters.
Attention was called by Mayor Smith
to the fact that smaller beams than are
called for in the specifications are being
used in the construction of the new jail
building, but upon investigation it was
lound that the board had authorized this
substitution at its meeting of Jan 21 as
it would save $700 in the expense cf th
building.
Ihe question of a tunnel between the
new jail building and the court house
was discussed in an informal way, as tho
subject, was called up by a communica
tion from the architect requesting to be
fnZ ma Y" that Point, as it would make
*?™ d'?™ ce in hls plans Commis
sioner Webster thought the board should
consider the question of a tunnel at once
and should also inquire into the prac
ticability of establishing a plant in the
basement of the new jail which could
furnish heat light and power to the court
house as well as that building. The cost
of heating and lighting the city and
county building under the contract with
& f^ aS Llght com Pany, he said, was
515,000 a year, and an item like that was
worth consideration. He believed that a

The board determined to take up the
matter as a committee of the whole.
JUSTUS' BILL IS CUT
SHERIFF'S BILL, SUBJECTED TO
SCRUTINY OF COLXTY ATTORNEY.
Sheriff Justus' bill against the county
for fees claimed as having been earned
by his office during January, Is now un
der scrutiny in the office of the county
attorney, to whom it was submitted for
approval, as is customary; and several of
the items have been noted by Assistant
County Attorney O'Neill as not entirely
unexceptionable.
Mr. O'Neill makes the suggestion that
m making the charges for mileage in
service upon jurors and witnesses, the
addresses of the persons served should
be given that the number of miles trav
eled may plainly appear. He believes
that m case there are summons to be
served upon two men in the same neigh
borhood and the service involves but one
trip for the deputy sheriff there may
be but one item of mileage.
The item of fees for Deputy Sheriff
Harry Hardick in bringing Harry c
John back to the jail from Stillwater
was stricken out by Mr. O'Neill for the
reason that he holds it to have been
the duty of the warden of the peniten
tiary to have John returned to the jail

BOY BUILDING.
That Is the Mission of Good Foot!.
There is an abundance of proof that
food can be selected that will build up
a brain as well as body.
One case is that of a boy and the de
scription is given by his mother. She
says, "This particular son has always
had a delicate s-tcmaeh, and when he was
an infant had cholei \ infantum two or
three seasons in succession; he was ex
ceedingly hard to raise, and was not well
enough to go to school when he became
old enough."
The mother says, "Finally we conclud
ed to put him on Grape-Nuts exclusively
and see what the food would do for him.
We did, and to our great astonishment
our boy improved daily. He Is now
hearty and getting along in school un
usually well. He still depends upon
Grape-Nuts for a goodly share of his
diet.
Whenever children are hungry at befl
time It Is always safe to let them eat
Grape-Nuts and let them go to bed. I
came to know of the value of Grape-
Nuts by using it myself, and found that
I was unusually well nourished and gain
ed rapidly in strength.
Please do not use my name. By the
way, we abandoned coffee In our famijy
several years ago and have always used
Postum since. Would as soon have the
flour barrel empty as be out of Postum."

The Metropolitan.
The Date— Feb. 9. „
The .Prizes.
Two seats to a performance of "The
Chaperons" at the Metropolitan this week
to each successful participant.
Two bushels of answers!
Once again have the readers of the
Sunday Globe made it possible to pro
nounce The G lob c's series of conceal
ed-word contests a series of successes.
The Glob c's first contest was a suc
cess, the second contest was a grand
success, but the Sunday contest capped
the climax.
Many of the participants in the former
contests in sending in their answers sug
gested to the contest editor that he make
his contests harder. The contest editor
accepted this adriee, and enough words
were scattered through The Gl ob e'a
want pagies to make the search for the
correct answer real work.
The attempt to make the contest more
difficult simply spurred the readers of
The Globe on to greater effort, and
early Sunday morning the young man in
charge of the business office counter real
ized that the contest was on.
Early Sunday morning the answers be
gan to pour in, and all day Sunday the
pour continued. Sund&y night the letter
boxes were filled, and the young man be
gan to wave signals for assistance.
Bushel baskets were secured, and the
bushel baskets soon assumed a well-filled
look.
The contest was a real success, for
every participant had an even chance.
The Globe announced that the draw
ing of the winners would be started at 5
o'clock Monday afternoon, and every
answer received up to that hour went
into the heap of letters.
At 5 o'clock The Globe manage
ment invited the public to the draw
ing. A small boy was blindfolded, the en
velopes containing the answers were
thoroughly mixed and then, one at a
time, the blind-folded small boy picked
up the answers which, if correct, won for
their writers the seats to the perform
ance of "The Chaperons."
This time The G 1 o be made the con-
braces about 170 instructors, who draw
from $28 to $42 per week.
There were about twenty applications
for every appointment, the applicants
from Minneapolis alone being sufficient
to fill all the places twice over. The coun
ty superintendents were all consulted as
to the instructors desired, and wherever
they were satisfied with the corps they
had last year and desired them back
they were reappointed. It is the policy of
the department to retain as far as pos
sible the instructors who have been suc
cessful, as this makes for the building
up of a strong consistent system of sum
mer school work.
Every year previous to the beginning
of the summer schools the state superin
tendent calls a conference of all con
ductors and instructors to meet at the
state university and discuss the situation
together. A number of summer school
problems are sent out to the instructors
beforehand to think about and to come
to the conference prepared to discuss
them. In this way the work is thorough
ly systematized in advance.
This conference this year will be held
during the meeting of the N. E. A. in
Minneapolis, as it will be easy to get the
teachers together at such a time, with
the attraction of the convention. The
average attendance, at summer schools
is generally about o;300. This year an ex
tra large enrollment is expected because
of the stimulus of the National Educa
tional association.
GROUND HOG WAS WISE
CRAWLED BACK TO HIS LAIR AXD
ESCAPED WIXTRY BLASTS
It Will Be Colder Tod«y, Says the
Weather Man—January Was
a Comparatively Warm
Month.
Mr. G. Hog, who Sunday assisted the
local forecaster in predicting the state of
the weather for some time in the future,
made good his prediction and displayed
rare foresight in returning to his lair be
fore the breezes that were about yester
day struck him.
Yesterday dawned cold, and remained In
that condition during the entire day, with
additional aggravation in the shape" of
sharp winds and blustering snow, the
melange making a combination of weath
er that was disagreeable. Towards night
the thermometer, which was, at 11 o'clock
In the morning, but 1 degree below, drop
ed several times, and the wind increased
in violence. Official Forecaster Lyons
gave it out that it would be colder, but
that the snow flurries dad not appear to
be permanent, and that in all likelihood
today would be bright if nothing else.
The official report for the month of
January shows that, on the whole It has
been fairly warm, the mean temperature
being 18 degrees above zero, while the
mean average for this month for thirty
two years past has been 12 degrees above,
making this month 6 degrees warmer
than the average.
The coldest day during the past month
was on tie 27th, when the highest the
mercury crawled was 6 degrees below
zero, from which point it slipped to 15
below. The mean "temperature on this
date was —10. The 1, warmest day in. the
month was the 7th, when the mercury
registered 40 degress above, and at its
worst was only 30.
The mean maximum temperature for
the month was "G.t; the average mini
mum, 10.6. On the- 28th of the month th e
lowest temperature was reached, it being
18 degrees below zero, and the highest
was on the Sth, when the thermometer
registered 43 above. On the 13th there
•was the greatest range of temperature,
the mercury being go agile as to drop
from 34 degrees above to 4 decree* above
•without injury. It was 2 degrees warmer
last month than in January, 1900.

during the month was northwest, and the

test harder, but this time few failed to
send in the right answer. Several over
looked the word "the," and gave the title
of the play as "Taming of the Shrew,"
and by this slight oversight failed to se
cure a place in the list of winners. Others
found a wrong date somewhere in the
want pages, and this wrong date cost
them their chance to secure a free ticket.
The contest was not without Its hu
morous incidents. A fat man with a
Sherlock Holmes instinct employed
simple deduction instead of a close study
of The G1 ob c's want pages. He con
vinced himself that as the management
of The Globe was giving away free
tickets to "The Chaperons," "The Chap
erons" must be the pl-ay concealed.
A little maiden worked hard to locate
the concealed words, but she failed to
comply with the rule compelling the clip
ping of the want ads containing the
words. This little maiden argued the
matter at great length with the second
little maiden, who arrived with her an
swer after the contest had closed. The
second little maiden just didn't care, any
way, for she had guessed it right, and
knew that she was entitled to a prize.
The contest editor longed for more prizes,
but his limit was fixed at twenty, and he
could only share the disappointment with
the many whose answers were missed in
the drawing.
Master James Mcllrath, the young gen
tleman who consented to be blindfolded
and draw the letters from the huge pile
on the table, acquitted himself in a very
creditable manner. He even succeeded
in picking out the letter containing the
answer that he had sent in. ]t was
wrong, but in consideration of the im
portant part Master Mcllrath played ia

the swiftest, attaining a velocity of thir
ty-six miles an hour.
The total precipitation for the month
was .53 inches, which !s away below the
average, the deficiency in this respect
being .40 inches. The average precipita
tion for the month of January for the
past thirty-two years has been .93 inches.
Liast year it wsa .67; there were seven

GUARDING PEST HOUSE
PRISONER FROM CENTRAL STATION

Armed guards now patrol the gro mds

police station was added to the list of
smallpox patients yesterday, and togeth

The pe.st 'houre is not fitted for the
housing of criminals, and at the request
of Dr. Ohage, Chief O'Connor stationed a

Considerable excitement was caused in
St. Paul yesterday by the report that
three men answering the descriptions of
the three wanted for the murder of Of
ficer Charles Mayer, were under arrest
in Detroit, Minn., and that Detective
Michael Daly had gone to that town
for the purpose of identifying the sus
pects. The men were arrested by Mar
shal Harry Johnson, at Detroit, late
Sunday night, and he immediately tele
graphed a description to the St. Paul
police. Detective Daly was accordingly
sent to Detroit yesterday morning, and
if the train was on time was due to ar
rive there shortly after 3 o'clock thi3
afternoon.
Up to a late hour last night, however,
Chief O'Connor had not received any
word from Daly, and therefore could not
tell if the suspects were the right par
ties or not. According to the description
furnished by Marshal Johnson, the oldest
is about thirty-five years eld, sandy,' no
overeoUl and roughly dressed. The sec
ond is twenty-eight years of age, with
dark smooth face, dark clothes and
roughly dressed, while the third Is about
twenty-two--years old, slender and dark,
smooth face, rather well dressed. The
station agent at Detroit discovered the
men asleep in the depot late Sunday night
and noticed that they tallied with the
description of the men wanted. The
marshal was notified and the men arrest
ed. They refused to give their name 3
and denied that they came from St. Paul,
and even denied that they were acquaint
ed. They protested against being arrest
ed, and stated they were anxious to get
out of town, but the marshal decided
to hold them until a detective could
come from St. Paul and identify them.
Detective Murnane went to Minneapolis
yesterday to investigate the two suspects
picked up by the Minneapolis police at
2 o'clock yesterday morning, and found
that they were net the ones wanted.
Considerable gossip was rife on the
streets of St. Paul yesterday, and sever
al different theories were advanced. One
that gained considerable ground was that
the shooting was done by young "toughs"
who do not live far from the scene, and
from present indications it would seem
that tihe police are working along these
lines.
Another rumor was to the effect that
Chief O'Connor has some suspec-ts un
der arrest, bat is keeping them undei
cover while he is investigating. Chief
O'Connor stated to The Globe last
liight, however, that no suspects had
been arrested in St. Paul yet, and he
had nothing: new to give out to the
papers. Neither had any more arrests
been made in outside towns or cities.
The newspapers of St. Paul and others
yesterday started subscription lists to
aid the widow cf Officer Charies Mayer,
who was murdered in the rear of Jess
rang's saloon Friday morning, while per,
forming his duty as a police officer of
the city of St. Paul, and the movement
is receiving substantial support already.
The people of St. Paul showed their
generosity by contributing a total of
1&36 within ten hours after the movement
had been started, and it is expected that
this amount will be swelled considerably
by today's subscriptions. The National
German-American bank ha;s contributed
$100, and sent the check to the widow.
In addition to this, the regular Twin
City league hockey game between the
St. Paul and Mechanic Arts teams, to
be played at the Virginia rink next Sat
urday eveniag, will be mode a bene-.lt .Jor
the sorrowing widow and her children,
ore of whom is at present at death's
door.
Subscriptions will be received at all
the newspaper offices.

All day yesterday and last evening a
continual stream of people poured in arid
out of the Mayer residence, at 758 Sher
burtie avenue, and viewed the remains of
the murdered officer, which reposed in
state in the front room of the house amid
a mass of beautiful flowers. The coffin
is of plain black, and in a corner of the
zoom near the headl was a beautiful large
star of flowers, with the number 28, which
was the dead officer's number, in the cen
ter. An officer stood at the door and
ushered in the friends as they came.
Mrs. Mayer was up stairs attending to
their eleven-year-old son, Henry, who
was lying in an unconscious condition
and was expected to die at any moment.
Dr. L. G. Bacon was called at 7 o'clock
last night and worked over the boy for
some time in-en effort to restore him to
consciousness. At 1 yesterday afternoon
they thought the lad was dead and a re
port to that effect gained ground arid
spread around the city. Two younger
boys, Charlie and Walter Mayer, aged
seven and five years respectively, played
down stairs and did not seem to realize
the sadness of the occasion. At a late
hour last night Henry Mayer was "still
living, but he was not expected to live
until morning.

The above verdict was tihe ver.lict ren
dered by the coroner's Jury late yo.-ter
day afternoon, after hearing the testi
mony ai witnesses on the murder of Of
ficer Mayer, at the inquest conducted by
Coroner A. W. Miller. The testimony
was along the same lines already publish
ed in The Globe, and nothing new
was brought out.
Assistant City Physician Gilfillan de
scribed the wound. The bullet had en
tered the groin on the left side, just In
front of the orest of the Ilium, or pelvic
bone. It had penetrated the abdomen
and passed through the intestines In al
most a direct line, to a point in front
of the hip bone on the right Bide, where
it lodged just under the skin. Mayer
told him he had been fired upon three
times by someone who stood in front of
him. The wounded officer died on the
operating table while the operation to
extract the bullet was being- performed.
Dr. J. M. Armstrong, of St. Joseph's hos
pital, who assisted Dr. Gilfillan, also de
scribed the wound.
Herman Boesel Testifies.
Herman Boesel, 510 Farrlngton avenue,
almost across the street from Jessrangs
saloon, who was the first to reach Of
ficer Mayer after he had been shot., de
sciribed the locality in which the murder
was committed. He ihad heard revolver
shots at 2 o'clock in the morning and
had also heard the policeman whistle
three times. W:hen he reached the dying
patrolman he handed him his keys and
told him to send an alarm from the
patrol box. He noticed a man about 200
feet in the rear of the saloon running
toward Sherburne avenue as he came
out of his house, and he heard Mayer say
that there were three men in the party.
Paul C. Gerver, 496 Farrington avenue,
also testified to hearing shots. He said
he heard three shots as he lay awake
in bed across the street.
Sergeant Edward Christian, of the Ron
do street police station, told of proceed
ing to the scene of the murder, and
finding Mayer on the 'ground groaning.
Mayer told him that lie had been shot
by three young men without overcoatß,
and that was the only description he
could obtain. Mayer's gun, mittens nnd
revolver pouch were ibesiile Mm on tha
(ground, and he was suffering terrible
pain.
Assistant County Attorney O'Xeill con
ducted the cross-examination.
