NEWS OF MINNEAPOLIS CANNON TALKS FOR PROTECTION Makes This Almost Sole Topic of His Speech in Minne apolis Primed with a good dinner which was later flavored with a choice col lection of chestnuts furnished by J. Adam Bede, Joseph G. Cannon, speaker of the national house of representa tives, made his much heralded appear ance at the Minneapolis auditorium last night. Thomas Lowry presided, and group ed about him on the stage were men of good living and considerable wealth. An odor of pine permeated the air. Over the stage there was an alleged painting of Theodore Roosevelt, and pasted on every pillar and hung all about the stage there were portraits of the Republican candidate for governor, but if he was anywhere in the audience he did not make his presence known. Fletcher the Hero Speaker Cannon arrived yesterday nfternoon and was taken in charge by former Congressman Loren Fletcher, who dined him. At the residence of the former con gressman he was primed for the oc casion and his speech last night con sisted of a long eulogy of the Repub lican policy of protection, some pleas antries intended for the old soldiers who were given seats behind some ward workers, a brief—very brief—de nial of the charge that the president had overstepped the limits of the con stitution, some abuse of the Democrats and a pathetic appeal to the voters to give Loren Fletcher "one more term" in the national house of representa tives. As far as other candidates than Roosevelt were concerned the meeting might be considered a Fletcher meet ing from start to finish. Occasionally some of the lesser lights mentioned other candidates, but only occasionally. Mr. Cannon, gray, tall and angular, g-yrateel about the platform, talked first at one time and then another, but all the time he could not get away from his pet hobby—protection. The greater portion of his address was devoted to the .conditions which obtained about 1860 and he recited figures at an alarm ing rate. Of reciprocity he had nothing to say ■—the word was not used during his en tire address. Preceded by a brass band and the Roosevelt club of St. Paul, the distin guished speaker was escorted to the hall and given a happy reception. Then T. H. Girling, chairman of the county committee, introduced Thomas Lowry ;<s the presiding- officer. Of Mr. Lowry, Mr. Cannon said he "had the largest frame and the smallest voice of any man he ever saw." The chairman could not make himself heard through the hall. Fletcher Makes Promises Mr. Lowry* preseiued former Con gressman Fletcher, who threw some bouqtietfe at himself for his persistency and after telling the audience he would Becnre a $2,500,000 public building for Minneapolis, if re-elected to congress, Mr. Cannon was pi-esented and the only enthusiasm of the evening followed. Mr. Cannon began his talk with a few pleasantries, and said he came to take counsel with the people of the state as co-sovereigns to determine who should be chosen head of the nation. He touch ed upon scriptural topics and said parties and governments have been judged by their works from time Immemorial. Then taking as his analysis of the Rep lican and Democratic parties, he said, they "Must be judged by their fruits or their barrenness if they have no fruits." Taking up the Democratic platform, he proceeded to dissect it. Upon the Panama canal, he asserted, the Democrats had denounced the al leged theft of the route, but now would help to conceal the stolen property. It required courage to be a thief, he said, and he would rather be a thief than a "fence." On protection, he eaid, the Democrats had always opposed the policy, and when they have been in power they have al ways written the opposite policy on the statute books. Civilization and progress had always rested upon the labor of the people. Without labor there was barbarism. Delves Into History There was no reason, he asserted, for a difference between the Democrats and Republicans. Going back to 1860, he said, the slave labor of the South made it im possible for the free labor of the North to compote successfully. Free trade was desired by the South because the prod ucts of that region were sent abroad to be exchanged for the products of cheap labor of Europe. The stand of the free labor of the_ North was to the opposite, and hence the North was for protection and the South for free trade. "A cheap government is not a good government," declared Mr. Cannon, as he .strode across the stage and shook his nngei- at the sergeant-at-arms. "Pro tection is a tax levied upon cheap foreign labor for the purpose of making up the difference between foreign and native la bor, the proceeds to be used for the ad ministration of government, the improve ments of the country and the support of school?." He lamented the fnct that in 1860 the South was "solid" and that practically the same conditions obtain today. For the entertainment of the old sol diers who were given seats behind some ward workers, he read a section of the Confederate constitution •which proscribed protection. The speaker then proceeded to eulogize Did you buy your hair at an auction? At any rate, you seem to be getting rid of it on auction sale principles: "going, going7g"6ri-ei^ uStop_ihe^ auction with Ayer's Hair Vigor. It checks falling hair, and always restores color to gray hair.

This policy, he said, had raised the United States from fifth to. third place aa a manufacturing power during the period of the Civil war. Seven billions were shot away and much blood was spilled for keeping the best gov ernment in the world intact, and the re sult warranted the expense. Protection had made it possible to meet this heavy burden and pay liberal pensions. "Uncle Joe" then gave some statistics to show the growth of wealth and manufactures since 1860, and all but insisted that the policy of protection had cause the rain to fall and sprout the wheat sown by the farmer. Repeats His Maxims "Free men and cosovereigns of the best and greatest government on the face of the earth," was a favorite expression of the speaker, and he repeated it sev eral times. The policy of protection, according to Mr. Cannon, permitted the importation of raw material, its manufacture and then its exportation with a rebate of duty. Mr. Cannon talked protection for over forty minutes and then got down to the McKinley administration and told how the balance of trade had been made to favor the United States. He thought the Democratic success of 1592 was due to the fact that the men of Lincoln's time had passed away and the younger generation sought a change by fooling the farmers and laboring men by holding up the bugaboo of protection. The people were deceived, said the speaker, on a pledge to remove protection, and the administration lasted only- four years. Somebody yelled "Soup" and the man from Illinois assented. "The devil was to pay and no pitch hat," he shouted, and a few people laughed. "One thing the Democrats did was to make things cheaper," he con tinued, "but they took away the where with to buy." Mr. Cannon said that in 1896 the Demo crats said such mean things about Grover Cleveland that there was nothing left for the Republicans to say. This wis his introduction to the dis cussion of the financial question, which he considered briefly, and then dropped back to the tariff and the enactment of the Dingley law, which he admitted was not perfect, but the best protective reve nue law ever written In the statute books. "From its enactment," he exclaimed, "the people have ascended the mount of prosperity without let .or hindrance." Under the Republican financial policy the amount of money per capita had in creased and the rates of interest had de creased. Only under Cleveland and Buchanan had bonds been issued in times of peace and hawked about the markets of the world. During the Spanish war McKlnley did not place any bonds in the hands of a syndicate for sale, but sold them to the people at 2 per cent, and they were sub scribed five times over. The Democratic tariff plank of 1904, he said, was like that of 1892, and the ex periment would not be repeated. . Draws Dismal Picture The distinguished speaker then proceed ed to draw a dark picture of what will happen should the Democrats be success ful at the election next month. Dire dis aster would follow. To the charge of militarism he said there "was nothing in it." "One soldier to 3,200 people will not de stroy the • liberties of the people. This Caesar who lays awake nights laying plans for the destruction of the liberties of Hen ry Watterson and a few Boston mug wumps has, by the exercise of his own discretion, reduced the army from 100,000 to 59,000 men!" The United States had been forced to take possession of the Philippines, and now could not give them up, and he didn't believe a single Democrat would counte nance such an act. Mr. Cannon declared that there was no attempt on the part of the executive to overstep constitutional limitations for the congress was a check upon the president. "A change of sixteen votes will give bur friends, the enemy, control of the house," said the speaker with intense earnestness, and he insisted that the welfare of the nation depended upon the return of the Minnesota delegation, "which is one of the strongest, if not the strongest, of any from any of the forty-flve states." ' Pleads for Fletcher Then he pleaded for the return of Uncle Loren Fletcher, whom he characterized as a model and persistent congressman who never made a speech of more than ten minutes in length. The former congressman grinned and Rev. G. L,. Morrill yelled, "What's the matter with Uncle Loren?" "He's all right," said a man among the university bunch. Speaker Cannon declared that talk "un less you have a message, is a disturbance of the air." The man who was defeated by John Lind he characterized as a "work er and not a talker." Before concluding his address Mr. Can non sounded a note of alarm. He asserted the solid South would give Parker 151 votes in the electoral college, and John Sharp Williams, Senator Tillman and other leaders of the party would make an effort to secure more in the North. From the tenor of his remarks he seemed to fear that the chances for Democratic success were excellent in this direction. Oft-Told Tales Following the speaker came J. Adam Bede.the joke-master of congress and some of his oft-told tales. He told stories, said R. C. Dunn would have the solid Irish vote, believed that Moses E. Clapp would be re-elected United States senator—this last to the disgust of ! J. B. Gilfillan and other candidates then ! and there present. lie said that former Congressman ' Fletcher looked to him like a certified j check, and the politicians who have op i posed him smiled, while the former con • gressman winced. When he got through William Henry Eustis talked. He lamented the fact that Minneapolis had lost prestige and gave a few "revela tions of an ex-mayor," discussing to some extent the troubles of an executive. D. P. Jones, candidate for mayor, was not present. W. H. Grimshaw and P. M. Nye ad dressed seme people outside the hall who could not find seats.

THL.uSDAY, OCTOBER 6, 1904 LIGHTS, NOT COPS Minneapolis Aldermen Want Lampposts More Than Police The Minneapolis aldermen believe street lights are better than policemen and yesterday the pruning committee reduced the estimates for the police department by $40,000 and added a portion of the money saved to the fund for street lighting. The police department received 5254,000 as against $246,000 for the current year and the street lighting fund is $260,000 against $200,000 for the current year. This action of the pruning committee prevents the addition of the fifty extra patrolmen who were asked for by the mayor and chief of police. , NEW NICOLLET TALE HAS BEEN REVIVED Reported That Another Hotel Will Be Erected in Years to Come The story of the new Nicollet hotel has been revived since the sale of the property to the United States Realty company and again there is the rumor of a "new seven-story fire-proof hotel" on the site of the old structure. Yesterday Ira H. Shattuck, one of the proprietors of the hotel, reiterated the story, although he admitted the consummation of plans might be de layed for a year or two. BUILDING RECORD SURPASSES LAST YEAR Over $6,000,000 of Building Reported for Three-Quarters of a Year Building Inspector Houghton has compiled his report for the first nine months of the current year and it shows a most gratifying increase in the business activity in the city. The grand total of permits was 8,268 and the amount involved was $6,343,913 as against last year's record of 6,233 permits involving $5,601,667. Diva Dismisses Suit Lillian Blauvelt Pendleton, the so prano, has dismissed her suit against the Philharmonic club for alleged breach of contract. As the case was about to be heard a notice of dismissal of the action for $500 damages was served on the attorneys for the de fendant. Salted Negro's Coffee J. W. Peters, proprietor of a restau rant at 412 Second avenue south, put salt in coffee he served a negro and by force, attempted to collect the amount called for on the check. He was arrested and yesterday paid a fine of $10 for assault and battery. MAN WHO KILLED SHERIFF HARRIS FINALLY CAPTURED IN WISCONSIN Continued From First Page Smith appeared to be considering the sheriff's words, and the halt in the proceedings gave Raasbach time In which to think. He poured forth an eloquent appeal for justice for himself and his deputy, »reiterating his state ment that he was not the sheriff, and offered to do anything in his power to accommodate the stranger. His elo quence finally won the day, and Smith, who complained of being tired, was enticed into the wagon. He climbed up to the front seat, or dering the deputy to take the reins. This was a fatal mistake, for no sooner had he seated himself, than Raasbach sprang onto the rear seat and grasped Sirrith about the body, pinning his arms to his side. Smith struggled and attempted to draw a revolver. For a time he was prevented, but with a superhuman ef fort he freed one arm and secured the weapon, which he discharged over his shoulder at the sheriff but missed him. A few moments later the weapon was wrested from his grasp. As soon as Smith saw that further struggling was useless, he said, "All right. I give up.," and stretched out his arms for the manacles, which were immediately fastened to his wrists. He was then driven to Barronette and Sheriff Walby, of Hudson, Wis., noti fied. Smith was wild-eyed and haggard when captured and wore a two months' growth of beard. When the beard was shaved off one of the witnesses of the shooting of Sheriff Harris identified him as the man who fired the fatal shot. Smith acted in a peculiar manner after his arrest and is believed to be insane. He is continually upon the alert, starting up at the slightest sound, glancing furtively around and saying, "Ah! There they are!" He im agines that some one is continually hounding him. The three months' man hunt has evidently unbalanced his mind. He speaks rationally on all other subjects, and denies that he is John Smith. He says that his assumed name is Fred Kelly, and his real name is John Gearey. He declares he was born at Alberton, Prince Edward isl and, and that his mother lives there yet When asked concerning his whereabouts during the past three month©, >*a-aai4.that he had served two workhouse sentences, Ufevta« been ar rested Aug. 10 and again Sept. 12, but does not say where. His apparent insanity has led to his confinement in the Barron county in sane hospital, where he is held under a close guard, pending the arrival of N. ECKES IS HELD ON MUROER CHARGE Osseo Saloonkeeper Says the Authorities Did Not Do Their Duty Nick Eckes, the Gsaeo saloonkeeper who shot Fred Roma in his saloon on Monday night, was arraigned in the municipal court yesterday on the charge of murder in the first degree. He demanded an examination and the case was set for Oct. 14, in spite of the fact that his attorneys demanded an immediate hearing. The county at torney objected to this programme on the ground that the grand jury will meet Monday. When Eckes was taken back to his cell he was in a state of collapse. Later he said the authorities of Osseo were at fault, for, had the marshal of the town performed his duty, Roma would have been arrested in the after noon and the affray of the. evening would not have occurred. He asserts Roma had been drinking and was in a fighting mood. During the afternoon he had whipped two men and every one in the village was afraid of him. Eckes says Roma had boasted he had "done up" two men and proposed to incommode at least two more before he desisted. The saloonkeeper was crippled by a shot five years ago and he asserts he kept the revolver in his saloon for" the purpose of protection. He warned Roma to stop, but he re fused to obey and finally Eckes shot him. Louis Ham, a resident of Osseo for thirty years, corroborated ithe state ment of Eckes and said he saw Roma whip two men during the day. The marshal of the village, Mr, Ham said, was remiss in the performance of his duty. ■. It is possible that an effort will "be made to secure the release of Eckes on bail, although it is seldom a man charg ed with murder in the first degree, is bailed. FOUND IN RIVER CLOSE TO DEATH Fred Reckner Is Rescued by Residents of the Bohemian Flats Fred Reckner, twenty-five years of age and living at 2513 Twenty-fifth avenue south, was found struggling in the river yesterday afternoon at east end of the Washington avenue brWge, and when rescued by residents of the flats was ex hausted, lie may not survive the effects of the shock and exertion. Reckner fell from a lorty-foot embank ment while viewing the scenery from the east side of the river. Farmers to Ma!t« War The farmers in the Bake Minnetonka district are preparing to make war on the auto scorchers and Sher^C Dreger says they have his permission and hearty support: -z^The far«ie«S have some rights the, machine drivers are bound to respect;" says the sheriff. Held on Serious Charge Henry Rennert, of 2:21 Second street north, was held to the grand jury yes terday in $1,000 bonds on the charge of maltreating his twelv*-year-old stepdaughter. witnesses of the murder of Sheriff Har ris, who are expected to identify him beyond question as the murderer. Sher iff Walby yesterday said: "We are quite sure that:he is the man Smith. He has been identified by one of the witnesses of the shooting, and as soon as we can .bring others face to face with him we have no doubt that his identity will be settled beyond all question." Murder of Harris Smith is wanted for the murder of Sheriff Harold O. Harris, Of St. Croix county, on the night of June 18 last, while the latter was attempting to ar l-est Smith for the murder'*of Officer Fred Stevens, of Havre, Mont, May 16, 1904. When Sheriff Harris, who pos sessed a description of the; man, at tempted to arrest Smith as Me alighted from a train at Eau Claire, Smith turned upon him and fired point blank, the bullet penetrating the sheriffs heart, killing him Instantly. The deed was committed early in the evening, in the full sight of a score of persons. Smith held the crowd at bay at the point of a revolver, while he moved off into the woods, and until last Thursday had not been heard of. Immediately after the murder of Sheriff Harris posses were organized and a search for the murderer began. The man was surrounded several times but through various ruses managed to escape. The state militia was finally called in to aid' in the search. The man was surrounded in a swamp at one time and was sighted, but was not captured. The man hunt continued for many weeks. Smith often appeared, and at the point of a revolver of a gun stole horses from the farmers.' On one oc casion he rode boldly past a sentry guarding a bridge across one of the many creeks in that section of the country, and on being commanded to halt did so. He was disguised as a farmer and passed inspection, being al lowed to proceed. At another time he entered a barber shop and was shaved. The barber suspected who his cus tomer was but was afraid to secure him. After he departed the barber alarmed the village. Smith was often sighted and fired upon while eluding his pursuers, but was wounded only slightly. After six weeks Smith was lost track of and the posses abandoned the search. A reward of $1,000 was offered for the arrest of Smith.

CITY NEWS ANGELS DESERT HIM Walter Meldrum Thereupon Smites His Jailers He had an engagement to meet some angels, the real feathered sort. And so, explained Walter Meldrum, a young Scotchman confined yesterday in the county jail, and supposed to be Insane — and so, said Meldrum, "I'll be steppin', mon, an' I'm theenkin' I'll gae noo." "Whereupon the prisoner rose in his cell and nearly pushed my eye out," said Deputy Jailer D. L. Courteau, telling about it subsequently. Courteau received a violent blow under the right eye, but was hot felled. With the other hand the prisoner had struck Harry Le Dow, another jailer, on the point of the jaw. Jailer James Werrick rallied to the rescue. Both the injured jailers were no less astonished than dazed, for the Scot had been singing sadly but mildly to himself, "I'm wearin'.awa, Jeannie, to the Land o' the Leal," as nearly as the officers could understand him. „ After Meldrum was put in straight jacket he accused the angels of deserting him. With their help, he said, he could have overcome all worldly powers, in cluding Ramsey county. The young man was taken from a train Tuesday night at the union depot white apparently insane because of religious ex citement. The fact that he had traveled from the Northwest Territory and was raving over sacred topics induced the trainmen to describe him as a Russian Doukhobor. But papers found in his pockets at the jail showed that he was a Scotch carpen ter, and that he was returning to his home at Dairsie, Fifeshire, Scotland. He had a through ticket to New York, $60 in cash, and a draft for £20, or $100. Word was sent to the jail yesterday that if he proved to be insane on formal examination he would be sent on to Scot land by the state board of control. Be ing a casual alien he cannot become a charge upon the state institutions of Min nesota. TURNS DOWN NINTH School Board Declines to En- large Smith School Fruitless appeals from a Ninth ward, delegation that measures be taken for' building an addition to the R. A. Smith school at Geranium and Sylvan streets oc cupied the attention of the school board last night. T. P. Swan, chairman of the delegation, and James Drummond, his lieutenant, ex plained that the Smith school was now crowded; that only the opening of parochial schools nearby had prevented the attendance at the Smith from growing faster than it had; that prospects indi cated many more children within a short time than the school could possibly take care of. Already the principal of the Smith was occupying a hall as a private office. Even by next spring half-day ses sions might become necessary. The Smith school, being more conven iently situated than either the Rice or the Gorman schools, ought to receive any ad ditions made in the district. Besides, said Mr. Drummond, assessed values showed that lots adjoining the Smith school could be purchased much more cheaply than those adjoining the Rice or the Gorman schools. Finally, "if for no other reaspn than its name," Insisted Mr. Drummond, "the R. A. Smith school should be made one of the top schools of St. Paul." President Holman explained that other schools were much more crowded than the Smith, and that the cost of enlarging such schools, of repairing certain schools, and of caring for an increased number of pupijs, would absolutely prevent the board from granting the request of the delega tion tNs year. "But come around again next year, gentlemen," said the president. WOULD STAND OR FALL ON BREATH'S STRENGTH Prisoner Offers to Allow Court to Judge Him by Smell "If you don't believe I'm sober, judge, I'd like to have you smell my breath!" To this suggestion by Walter Meldrum, a wandering Scot from the Northwest Territory, Judge Hine, of the municipal court, replied yesterday with distin guished 'courtesy: "I am obliged to you, but really I must beg to decline." "Well, you can if you want to," said Meldrum. While in chambers later Judge Hine ex plained that he sought humbly to emu late Judge Gallick. "Like the honorable court commissioner," said Judge Hine, "\ stand with both feet planted on the con stitution, and I know of no section in that glorious document that requires me to smell the breaths of 'plain' or decorated drunks. "I doubt, too, if I am sufficiently practiced in nasal jurisdisprudence to trust the liberty of American citizens to such a test on a Monday morning when half a page of the court 'tab' is filled al ternately with 'drunks' and 'drunk and disorderlies.' This is a task lor ■■ or a Marshall. I may possess a _uona ble self-x-onfldence, but I am not pre sumptuous." Meldrum, charged with being drunk, was probably insane, the police said. His case was continued, so he might be exam ined as to sanity. EXAMINER JOHNSON COVERS SEVEN CASES Records Show No Attempt of Auditor to Look Into Conditions In another installment of his replies to- State Auditor Iverson, Public Examiner Johnson yesterday covered seven cases in detail. Discussion of several of the cases shows that the records fail to disclose •whether or not there was cutting under the permits, and no effort was made by the state auditor's office to disclose the situation between the time permits were issued and the fires subsequently re ported. In another case a cruiser reported a fire started in refuse "left from former cutting," but no effort was made to hold the permit owner for timber taken under these "former cuttings." .

The patrons of this high jrrade theater were privileged also to see Actor Henry Miller cut the gordian knot of "Joseph Entangled" by ringing down the curtain, and then reprove the, gallery for its "blackguardism." In the- midst of the breakfast scene, or second scene of the first act, the In tellectual dainties of the stage palled on the palate of one Olympian. He laughed like a certain Australian bird. Some of his neighbors, detecting eventually the point of his witticism, added sounds equally manegerialfl Blithe repartee thus grew by what it fed on until the heavens resounded with the roar. Presently the balcony, parquet and boxes were able to understand as much of the stage con versation as the gallery had understood before. When the play had thus descended to mere motion the curtain fell abruptly. Mr. Miller came forth, disentangled, but not relieved. He said he regretted that he had to step out of his part, but he felt obliged to do something "on behalf of the ladies and gentlemen in his com pany," and he added, with discriminating accent, the ladies and gentlemen in the audience. He wished to protect them all against such "blackguardism." The gallery humorists were trying by this time to think up rarer jokes, or perhaps they had been suppressed.
