The same to be of light gray chambray, gingham, light gray cheviot or other light gray washable ma- J terial; to be worn with turn down collar, dark tie and neat belt; all to be uniform at each office."

TELLS ANOTHER STORY judge: WERNER and A yarn Swedikli Banker, Not Being Able to Do BuHineMH in Minneapolis, Goes to St. Paul. According to a St. Paul morning paper, Thord Brandelius. who is here on a mis- sion for the Boras Enskilda bank of Sweden, announces that he will advise the directors of the home bank to establish the foreign branch" at St. Paul. The same authority states that President N. O. Werner of the Swedish-American bank of this city, tried to induce Mr. Bran- delieus to make his headquarters in this city but failed. Judge Werner says that he made no such effort and offered no inducements. The bank in Sweden represented by Mr. Brandelieus wants more American busi- ness. Old country banks are offering a high rate of interest on deposits as an in- ducement for American money to cross the Atlantic. The Boras Enskilda. as Minneapolis people understand it, realiz- ing that former subjects of Sweden in the northwest are sending considerable money to the old country for deposit, seeks to secure an agency in the north- west to secure some of that money. St. Paul papers have gained the impression that Mr. Brandelius is here to establish a new bank. As far as can be learned, none of the Minneapolis banks eared to act as agent for the Boras Enskilda and Mr. Brandelius is now canvassing the matter with St. Paul banks. T. LOWRY RETURNS fee Greets the Reporters With Great Frigidity. Thomas Lowry returned from New York this morning in an exceedingly uncom- municative frame of mind. Mr. Lowry had nothing to say about anything, and did not wish to be interviewed. He declined to talk of the- Soo, of his stret cars or of the weather, and showed unmistakably that he desired to be all alone. This was ibad enough, from a newspaper standpoint, Ibut "when Mr. Lawry refused to say a word about the Coon creek dam, the castle In the air that a morning contemporary is trying to make him build, in spite of ibis protests, or of "conditions," the re- porter went out and stood next the radi- ator in the hall.

' ing In Patrol \\ agon. . / 'You're a liar," said Police Sergeant Charles T. Franc, ex-garbage contractor, and recent appointee of Mayor Ames, in the, municipal court this morning, in re- sponse to a statement made by a wit- ness whom Sergeant Franc had arrested for drunkenness. Edward Asthmud, on trial for drunken- ness, asked Franc, who was on the wit- ness stand, if it was not true that hie (Franc) had arrested him at 10 o'clock in the evening instead of at 2 a. m. as stated by the witness. The gentlemanly reply received from the protege of Mayor Ames was: "You're a liar!" Then Judge Dickinson showed his hand. The following was the rap on the knuckles that he administered. And very warm it was: "Officer, such conduct as this will not be tolerated for one moment in this court. I consider it disrespectful in the extreme. You owe this court an apology and I wish it give nat once. Any officer of your rank should certainly know better than to make such an exhibition of yourself." Great beads of perspiration stood out upon the brow of Captain Fitchette, of the municipal court detail, at the gross im- prudence of his inferior officer and at the stinging rebuke administered by the court. Franc Eats Dirt. The cave-in of Sergeant Franc, of the North Side station, was beautiful to be- hold. He turned red. then white, blushed, stammered and with humble mien said his little apology. Among the "fly bobs" and other repre- sentatives of the administration there was not a dry eye. They all felt so bad. Judge Dickinson discharged the prisoner, Asthmud, and the case was dismissed. This is a form of police news that, drifting naturally along through the chan- nels of justice, escapes to the open air un- censored, and finds its place in The Journal, despite the rigid boycott now in force. Whisky in Patrol Wagon. Another feature of this case has an in- terest for the public, in so far as it readily demonstrates that, after all. the officers of the present administration are good fellows. Asthmud testified that he had a bottle of whisky in his pocket at the time of his arrest. This was not disputed by the police, but was rather used as a damaging piece of evidence to prove that the man was drunk. For from the tes- timony it appeared that the officers al- lowed Asthmud to partake freely of the botttle's contents while being taken to the station. The officers making the ar- rest testified to this fact. As a method of making cock sure of youh drunk this procedure, no doubt, must commend itself to every officer, who has fear of per- sonal damage suits. If your man is not wholly drunk, when you pick him up, al- low .him to imbibe of the flowing bowl on the way to the lockup. This gives a body blow to a doubtful case. LOCKOUT CONTINUES Mayor Ames and Hi» Millions With- hold Police New*. The Administration-Journal lockout re- mains unchanged to-day. At police headquarters there is the same air of confidence that has prevailed during the past two days. All sorts of rumors are afloat as to the methods to be used by the administration in strengthening the position taken by it a few days ago. Manyof these, no doubt, are born of ex- citement of the hour and wil never be put in operation. Now and then a "fly bob" is struck with a happy thought. He at once communicates with his superior officer, and if the scheme is thought feasi- ble it is submitted to the mayor himself. So say those who are in touch with the situation and have given it much thought. It is said by many that there are signs of weakening on the part of the police. If the placing of sentinels ten paces near- er lock-out alley is a sign of relenting, then there is some truth in this report. At one time, it is said, the picket line of the administration extended well out on to Washington avenue oh either side of the entrance to the alley leading to the central station. That the strain is telling on the ad- ministration is not difficult to imagine. Captain Hill has lost ten pounds since the strike was declared. There is a noticeable falling off amongst others of the official roster. SISSETON'S SIDE OF IT Has No More Smallpox Than Other Towns In Its Section. Sisseton, S. «... April 20.—The small- ! pox quarantine established a week ago between this 1 place and Browns Valley has been raised. There are but three cases of the disease in this city and they are nearly recovered. Xo new eases are developing, and all occasion for alarm is passed. Reports have been greatly ex- aggerated by neighboring towns. Sisseton has had no more smallpox than other towns in this part of the state. There is still a dispute between the local physi- cians as to just what the disease is. some holding it is smallpox and others that it is not. There have been no deaths, and no alarm whatever has been felt by citi- zens, so mild is the disorder. Milbank, S. D., April 20.—The city board of health has decided to quarantine against Sisseton, Sisseton agency and Peever, where smallpox has been preva- lent. Milbank is the natural outlet of these towns, and in order to protect the people the board of health has ordered the railroad company not to bring pas- sengers from the infected towns. Webster, S. D., April 20.—Smallpox be- ing reported among the Indians on the Sisseton reservation, adjoining this 1 county, the board of health of Day county to-day issued a quarantine against all Indians from entering any of the towns in this county.

CANADIAN PACIFIC IS POWERFUL People of Manitoba Are Bound to Have Competing; Line*—Prem- ier 1m ReMerved. The long pending deal between the Man- itoba government and the Northern. Pa- cific railway company, by which the "prairie province" of Canada hopes to se- cure all the lines of the American road traversing Canadian territory, isp racti- cally at a standstill. This admission was made to a Journal representative by Premier E. P. Roblin of Manitoba, who spent most of yesterday in Minneapolis, and left last evening for Winninpeg on the Northern Pacific train. Mr. Roblin arrived in St. Paul yesterday morning from Arkansas, where, he says, he has been taking a much needed rest. He was accompanied by Mrs. Roblin. During his slay in the twin cities he man- aged to elude newspaper men, until he was seen by a Journal reporter just prior to the departure of his train for the north. Want to See Him. Mr. Roblin's return to Winnipeg, it ap- pears, is eagerly awaited by many who favor the securing of lines to compete with the Canadian Pacific railway, and give lower carrying rates on grain shipped to the lake ports. If Mr. Roblin makes no further announcement regarding the progress of the big deal than that made to The Journal reporter—and he stated definitely that he would not—the people of Manitoba will get very little comfort out of it. The premier said: "We are waiting to se how the legis- lators at Ottawa will act in the matter, and at present cannot aay how we will come out." When asked if he had heard a report to the effect that President Hill of the Great Northern was fighting the deal, Mr. Roblln said he had, but not from any official source. "I can't say anything about that mat- ter," he said; "I certainly have heard nothing in regard to it from the Northern Pacific people." "Is there any ground for the statement that the N. P. could, if it wished, with- draw from all negotiations with your gov- ernment because you have failed to secure the lines at the stipulated time, April 1?" "I have not looked into it, and can ex- press no opinion." Mr. Roblin would not state whether Manitoba would build her own lines in case the deal fell through. He said that the time was not ripe to talk much about the matter. A Promise Hard to Fulfil. Ie is some months ago since Mr. Roblin first attempted to carry out his ante- election pledge to the people of Manitoba to give t'uetn railways which would; enable the farmers to get their grain to the lake ports at a much cheaper rate than that given by the Canadian Pacific. That line has for years controlled the carrying trade in Manitoba, and the principal ob- ject of the deal with the N. P. was to secure lines which would compete with the Canadian Pacific. Talk of Money. It has been stated in the Manitoba press that the Canadian Pacific officials have said they were prepared to spend $250,000 to defeat the deal. Now it is Intimated by supporters of tlie deal that the delay in securing the necessary legislation at Ottawa to make the N. P. secure in case the lines are transferred, is due to Can- adian Pacific influence. LUMBER WILL ADVANCE SHIPMENTS GAIN 1O PER CENT The Western Building Boom Calls for Much Lumber—Northern Mill* Raise. An advance in the price of white pine lumber is expected within the next six weeks. The demand is strong and stead- ily increasing and stocks are low. Many grades are off the market entirely and it will be two or three months before the new lumber can be marketed. Lumber shipments in the white pine ter- ritory for the first three months of this year were 16 per cent in advance of those of the same period last year. While the roads in the country are not in the best of condition in April and that always af- fects the demand, the shipments for this months have held up well with those of March. This spring has seen a re- markably good trade and there is every indication that it will be continued. Western cities have big building plans which mean the consumption of a large amount of material. Minneapolis is one of them and it is certain that, if the labor troubles do not stop the work, the demand for lumber locally will be the greatest in the history of the city. Omaha, Kansas City, St. Louis, Denver. Sioux City and all other western towns have the same promises to make. All danger of labor troubles in those towns will probably be over by the first of May and things in building circles will begin to hum. The northern Minnesota mills raised the price of lumber from 50c to $1 per thou- sand, according to the grade, at a recent meeting of the mill owners of Crookston, Grand Forks, Thief River Falls, St. Hil- aire and other mill towns in that section. The poor crop in the wheat country last year forced the .northern mills to discount the list to a certain extent, but the con- dition of the lumber market generally this spring enables the mill owners to advance the price by doing away with the dis- counts. MIXXETOXKA FREEZES OVER AGAIN. During the cold snap this week Minne- tonka froze over for the second time since fall. Here and there patches of ice were floating, but the lake was comparatively clear. After the freeze the other night a thin coating of ice was discovered over the en- tire surface. According to Captain Johnson this has not occurred since 1884. NATIONAL GUARD INNOVATION. An innovation at the National Guard en- campment at Lakeview this summer will be battalion target practice, including volley and skirmish practice by battalions and com- panies. The dates for encampment have not been announced. The artillery will probably go to camp with either the first or second regiments. GUNDMANSEN MUST GO. Theo Gundmansen, now in the insane hos- pital at Fergus Falls, will be deported to his old home in Sweden by a steamship leav- ing New York April 27. The decision to deport Gundmansen was reached some time ago, on a showing that he was insane be- fore reaching the states. A SHOW OF REVENGE. A colored man was yesterday ejected from a Mississippi street car, St. Paul at the northern terminus of the line for not paying his fare. In an attempt to retaliate he pur- sued the car several blocks with a drawn revolver. The car was too fast for him how- ever, and after a chase of a few blocks he gave it up without firing a shot.

HER ILLNESS OF A PEW HOURS TUe Funeral Will Take Place Mon- day Afternoon From the Renidenee. Tlie death of Miss Marian Shaw early! yesterday morning was a sudden and over- whelming shock to the Central high school, in which she was principal of the A room, and to her devoted family and large circle of friends. When the news of Miss Shaw's death was sent to the school, it was imemdiately adjourned for the day, out of respect to the memory of the foremost high school teacher of the city, both in the position occupied and in length of service in high school work. Miss Shaw was Just completing her fourth year of service in her present po- sition, where she had under her guidance the large senior class of the school. She was promoted to the position from the junior room, where she spent several years as assistant and principal, and she suc- ceeded one of the ablest men ever con- nected with the city schools. She taught Latin and was unusually proficient, hav- ing the classics at her tongue's end. Her series of special lessons in Virgil and Cicero's Latin proee were prepared for her own school work, but were found so valuable that they were pub- lished by the board for the use of the other high schools in the city and are also used 3n ether cities. This work was done in vacation time at the expense of much needed re3t, from pure love of her work, as she asked and received no com- pensation for it. Seemed "Well Yesterday. Miss Shaw was at school Thursday ap- parently in her usual health and spirits. At the close of school she lunched do^n town and, with her brother, George K. Shaw, of the Tribune, attended to several items of business which kept her down town until late in the afternoon. On her arrival at home no change was noticed in her and she seemed bright and cheerful. She was taken ill at about 6 o'clock and grew steadily worse through the night, the cause of death being paralysis of the lungs, brought on by nervous shock. Miss Shaw, who was the youngest of her family, is survived by a married sis- ter, Mrs. Estabrook of lowa. Misses Clara V. and Frances A. Shaw, win whom she lived, at 2524 Portland avenue, and George K. Shaw. She was a sister of the late Judge J. M. Shaw. In her early childhood the family came to Galena, 111., from Maine, and later came to Minneapolis. Miss, Shaw had been finely educated in a normal school and under private instruc- tlno, being an accomplished linguist in French, German, and her special study, Latin. Her Literary Talent. Although for years a devoted teacher who sacrificed everything else to the in- terests of her school work, she had bril- liant literary gifts, which found outlet in tfer ra.*e leisure in a popular novel, "Queen Bess," magazine stories and es- says. It wag her purpose to retire this year and devote the remainder of her life to literary pursuits, for which she was unusually well qualified. In this move she was encouraged by her family, all of whom are literary in their tastes and tendencies and by whom she was regarded as being the most gifted member of the family. She had much literary material so far ad- vanced in manuscript that her sister, Miss Frances Shaw, will be able to complete the work of publication. This includes short stories and translations. An im- portant undertaking which she had com- pleted in manuscript is a complete translation of the odes of Horace. la her home and in the schoolroom Miss Shaw was at her best, and all who knew her in either admired, respected and loved her for her kindly spirit, justice, dignity, inspiring qualities, cheerfulness and constancy in friendship. She never lost interest in her pupils and the deep impress which her lofty character and un- failing performance of duty as a teacher has left upon thousands of young people in Minneapolis cannot be measured and is scarcely conceivable, except to those who have known her best. Miss Shaw's brilliant intellectual and social qualities were reserved for the home and those neare-st to her, but In this circle she shone with the brightest luster, being especially endeared to her nephews and nieces, to whom she was an unfailing friend and delightful companion. Although endowed with a rare wit and quickness of repartee she never used it unkindly, and her quiet, reserved, calm manner often gave no hint of this keen t sense of humor. Her modesty was one of her most marked characteristics, re- stricting the knowledge of her great abil- ities to those who came into closest con- tact with her. All such were her devoted friends and admirers. Loved by Her Associates. It was not left for death to bring forth an expression of this regard. At the time of Miss Shaw's promotion to A room, her former associate teachers were filled with a desire to show their appreciation of such unassuming worth, and they pre- pared a surprise party for her at which a formal testimonial was presented to her in the form of an artistic booklet accom- panied by a copy of the Winged Victory. In this testimonial were these words: "When we think of the long years of able service, of the many tasks which have seemed thankless, of your unswerving de- votion to principle, our joy has a wider meaning, for we see another instance in which merit has, in some measure, re- ceived the recognition which is its due. We look upon your advancement to this position as a victory. Symbolizing this, we have brought you a Winged Victory to perch upon your table, and we hope it may remind you of our appreciation of your work in connection with the public schools of the city." The funeral will be held on Monday afternoon, from the residence. A de- tailed notice will be given later. The teachers of the Central high school held a meeting this morning and sent to the house as their representatives Mis3«a Mary C. Putnam, Eloise Butler and E. A. Brooks. Misses Katherine Kidder, E. A. Brooks and Florence Wales were ap- pointed to draw up resolutions of respect and condolence. BURNS WERE FATAL (.oodhue County Parents Lose an Infant Daughter. Special to The Journal.

A BIG 'TONKA DEAL Phelps Island, in the Upper Lake, Changes Hands. IT'S TO BE PUT ON THE MARKET New Company 'Will Improve and Plat It for Summer Folk. Phelps Island, the beautiful woodland nestling in Minuetonka which has been left in its native wildness all these years be- cause of vexatious litigation, is to be im- proved. The Western Realty company of Minneapolis, which has taken over the assets of the old Northern Trust company, gets the Phelps island tract under a mort- gage, and will at once place the property on the market. Before doing so, however, the island will be platted and many im- provements will be made in its physical condition. New roads will be cut through, and a general cleaning up of undesirable places will be begun. The Western Realty company is officered as follows: L. B. Henry, of Philadelphia, president; Judge A. H. Young, vice presi- dent; Fred B. Snyder, secretary and treas- urer. Senator Snyder said to-day that the company would at once proceed to cut the island up into fine building lots of from two to five acres, the lots to have a front- age of 200 feet on the lake. The company is prepared to spend money to make the island more attractive than ever by good roads and other improvements, and ex- pects to do a big business this season in disposing of the lots. Phelps Island is the largest island in Minnetonka, containing nearly GOO acres of beautifully diversified and heavily tim- bered land. Its shores are for the most part sandy and high. The island is easily accessible from the Spring Park and Mound stations on the Great Northern road. Owing to legal complications, due to default in interest payments on the mortgage, the former owner, Carrington Phelps, has been able to sell but few of the desirable lots. There are now on the island but four cottages, in addition to the summer hotel establishment of Mrs. J. H. Woolnough at Maple Heights. There U road running through the island from Spring Park station passing the picnic grounds end crossing the bridge over the entrance to Black lake. This road runs to the upper end of the island, where Carrington Phelps once had a sum- mer cottage which was destroyed by fire. Prom here a bridge gives access to En- chanted island beyond. Another road branches off from this and crosses to the mainland near Mound. These roads are in very poor condition, but can easily be improved. These three bridges are the only ones leading from the island. LABOR OUTLOOK GLOOMY WOODWORKERS' TROUBLES IP So Change in the Struggle Between '.'Union Carpenters and Mas- \u25a0."-. ter Builders. The woodworkers' union Thursday took resolute ground in favor of a reduction of the working day to nine hours, and instructed their conference committee tc stand by their demands without modifica- tion. This meana that at the next conference* between the committee from the wood- workers and the manufacturers the com- mittee will insist upon full compliance with the union's demands. It is expected now that the next con- ference will be held early next week and the stiff-necked attitude of the wood- workers bodes trouble. The general im- pression among those conversant with the situation is that the manufacturers will never consent to sign the union agree- ment unless some concessions are made, either in the matter of length of the working day or on some other points. The difficulty between the master build- ers and their locked out carpenters did not enter a new phase to-day. It is not thought that there will be any great change before next Monday or Tuesday. St. Patfl'M Troubles. Members of the Painters' Union and of the Master Painters' Association, of St. Paul, say that it is probable that within a week a general strike of all the building trades ia liable to take place. A COMMISSION TANGLE A "Smooth" Man Causes a Lot of Trouble. The case of Naas Bros., a Minneapolis commission firm, against five St. Paul firms, is on trial in the Ramsey district court. Last January a smooth man called on Naas Bros, of Minneapolis and gained credence and credit with that firm as the representa- tive of Mitchell & McClure of Duluth. He was there, he said, to buy a heavy bill of goods for lumber and mining camps in the northern part of the state on account of Mitchell & McClure. The man or one of his agents went to St. Paul and hired Dopson & Johnson to unload the goods and deposit them in their warehouse and sell them out, acting as his agents. Dopson & Johnson, truckmen and general factors, acting in good faith, handled the merchandise. The carload of merchandise was valued at about $1,100. George C. Stiles, the Minneapolis attorney appearing for the plaintiff, said the suit was really against Dopson & Johnson, although not brought against them Ihy name. The five complaints show the sums de- manded of the defendants: William N Eean $92.64; Yerxa Bros. & Co., $93; Andrew Shoch Grocery company, $75.44; B. P.

Special to The Journal. Red Wing, Minn.. April 20.—Emil Peter- son, formerly of Winona, has been ar- rested here on the charge of grand lar- ceny, having stolen a purse containing $27.25 from Mrs. Julia Johnson, living on the "Bowery." He was bound over to await the action of the grand jury and was placed in the county jail. Mrs. J. A. Sandberg was injured by being struck In the head by a runaway horse. She had just snatched her baby from the walk when the horse rushed upon her. A deep gash was cut in her head; the child was uninjured.

Wanta IBOa Inter- national Convention Held Here. At a meeting of the board of directors of the Minneapolis Y. M. C. A. yesterday it was decided to invite the 1903 conven- tion of the International association to meet in Minneapolis. The invitation will be presented at the semicentennial con- vention to be held in Boston next June and the local workers feel that there are excellent prospects of having their invita- tion accepted. Portland, Ore., is after the honor, but is felt to be too far away from the center of the International as- sociation. ONLY A BLUFF View Taken of That Oil Plant Story. The statement coming from New York that the Union Lead and Oil company would erect a 400 barrel oil mill in this city is not received with any great amount of credulity by the independent oil men here. They regard it as a bluff on the part of the trust to scare the independ- ents In the northwest. The Linseed oil men say they know nothing about the Union Lead and Oil company or any of its plans. RAVEN PAYS DEARLY It Cost Him One Hundred and Sixty Dollars to Pound Carlson. The jury which tried Harvey Raven brought in a verdict Thursday evening of assault in the third degree. Raven was fined $100 and the costs of the case, which will amount to about $60. Hence while he had the satisfaction of beating Carlson's face in till the man's own mother would not have known him, the sport will prove a costly one. In de- fault of payment of the fine Raven may work it out in the workhouse quarry, where his big muscles »vill come in handy. William* Made Threat*. Gottlieb Williams, of Plymouth township, was committed to the county Jail Thursday for three months, having Tailed to procure a $300 bond to keep the peace. He Is charged with having made threats to clear out the whole family of Fitzera, of Plymouth. MARCH ACCIDENTS. During March forty-six aecident3 were re- ported to the state labor department.

TELLS ANOTHER STORYjudge: WERNER and A yarn

Swedikli Banker, Not Being Able to

Do BuHineMH in Minneapolis,

Goes to St. Paul.

According to a St. Paul morning paper,Thord Brandelius. who is here on a mis-sion for the Boras Enskilda bank ofSweden, announces that he will advise thedirectors of the home bank to establishthe foreign branch" at St. Paul. Thesame authority states that President N.O. Werner of the Swedish-American bankof this city, tried to induce Mr. Bran-delieus to make his headquarters in thiscity but failed.

Judge Werner says that he made nosuch effort and offered no inducements.The bank in Sweden represented by Mr.Brandelieus wants more American busi-ness. Old country banks are offering ahigh rate of interest on deposits as an in-ducement for American money to crossthe Atlantic. The Boras Enskilda. asMinneapolis people understand it, realiz-ing that former subjects of Sweden in thenorthwest are sending considerablemoney to the old country for deposit,seeks to secure an agency in the north-west to secure some of that money. St.Paul papers have gained the impressionthat Mr. Brandelius is here to establisha new bank. As far as can be learned,none of the Minneapolis banks eared toact as agent for the Boras Enskilda andMr. Brandelius is now canvassing thematter with St. Paul banks.

T. LOWRY RETURNSfee Greets the Reporters With Great

Frigidity.

Thomas Lowry returned from New Yorkthis morning in an exceedingly uncom-municative frame of mind. Mr. Lowry hadnothing to say about anything, and didnot wish to be interviewed. He declinedto talk of the- Soo, of his stret cars or ofthe weather, and showed unmistakablythat he desired to be all alone. This wasibad enough, from a newspaper standpoint,Ibut "when Mr. Lawry refused to say aword about the Coon creek dam, the castleIn the air that a morning contemporary

is trying to make him build, in spite ofibis protests, or of "conditions," the re-porter went out and stood next the radi-ator in the hall.

MANNERS ARE FINEPolice Sergeant Calls a Court Wit-

ness a Liar.

LET PRISONER HAVE WHISKY

Two of Mayor Amen' Officer* Admit

That They /.Permitted Drink- .•' ing In Patrol \\ agon. . /

'You're a liar," said Police Sergeant

Charles T. Franc, ex-garbage contractor,and recent appointee of Mayor Ames, inthe, municipal court this morning, in re-sponse to a statement made by a wit-ness whom Sergeant Franc had arrestedfor drunkenness.

Edward Asthmud, on trial for drunken-ness, asked Franc, who was on the wit-ness stand, if it was not true that hie(Franc) had arrested him at 10 o'clock inthe evening instead of at 2 a. m. as statedby the witness. The gentlemanly reply

received from the protege of Mayor Ameswas: "You're a liar!"

Then Judge Dickinson showed his hand.The following was the rap on the knucklesthat he administered. And very warm itwas:

"Officer, such conduct as this will not betolerated for one moment in this court. Iconsider it disrespectful in the extreme.

You owe this court an apology and I wishit give nat once. Any officer of your rankshould certainly know better than to makesuch an exhibition of yourself."

Great beads of perspiration stood outupon the brow of Captain Fitchette, of themunicipal court detail, at the gross im-prudence of his inferior officer and at thestinging rebuke administered by the court.

Franc Eats Dirt.

The cave-in of Sergeant Franc, of theNorth Side station, was beautiful to be-hold. He turned red. then white, blushed,stammered and with humble mien said hislittle apology.

Among the "fly bobs" and other repre-sentatives of the administration there wasnot a dry eye. They all felt so bad.

Judge Dickinson discharged the prisoner,Asthmud, and the case was dismissed.

This is a form of police news that,drifting naturally along through the chan-nels of justice, escapes to the open air un-censored, and finds its place in TheJournal, despite the rigid boycott nowin force.

Whisky in Patrol Wagon.

Another feature of this case has an in-terest for the public, in so far as it readilydemonstrates that, after all. the officersof the present administration are goodfellows. Asthmud testified that he hada bottle of whisky in his pocket at thetime of his arrest. This was not disputedby the police, but was rather used as adamaging piece of evidence to prove thatthe man was drunk. For from the tes-timony it appeared that the officers al-lowed Asthmud to partake freely of thebotttle's contents while being taken tothe station. The officers making the ar-rest testified to this fact. As a methodof making cock sure of youh drunk thisprocedure, no doubt, must commend itselfto every officer, who has fear of per-sonal damage suits. If your man is notwholly drunk, when you pick him up, al-low .him to imbibe of the flowing bowlon the way to the lockup. This gives abody blow to a doubtful case.

LOCKOUT CONTINUES

Mayor Ames and Hi» Millions With-

hold Police New*.

The Administration-Journal lockout re-mains unchanged to-day. At policeheadquarters there is the same air ofconfidence that has prevailed during thepast two days. All sorts of rumors areafloat as to the methods to be used by

the administration in strengthening theposition taken by it a few days ago.Manyof these, no doubt, are born of ex-citement of the hour and wil never beput in operation. Now and then a "flybob" is struck with a happy thought. Heat once communicates with his superiorofficer, and if the scheme is thought feasi-ble it is submitted to the mayor himself.So say those who are in touch with thesituation and have given it much thought.

It is said by many that there are signsof weakening on the part of the police.If the placing of sentinels ten paces near-er lock-out alley is a sign of relenting,

then there is some truth in this report.At one time, it is said, the picket line ofthe administration extended well out onto Washington avenue oh either side ofthe entrance to the alley leading to thecentral station.

That the strain is telling on the ad-ministration is not difficult to imagine.Captain Hill has lost ten pounds since thestrike was declared. There is a noticeablefalling off amongst others of the officialroster.

SISSETON'S SIDE OF ITHas No More Smallpox Than Other

Towns In Its Section.

Sisseton, S. «... April 20.—The small- !pox quarantine established a week agobetween this 1 place and Browns Valleyhas been raised. There are but threecases of the disease in this city and theyare nearly recovered. Xo new eases aredeveloping, and all occasion for alarmis passed. Reports have been greatly ex-aggerated by neighboring towns. Sissetonhas had no more smallpox than othertowns in this part of the state. Thereis still a dispute between the local physi-cians as to just what the disease is. someholding it is smallpox and others that itis not. There have been no deaths, andno alarm whatever has been felt by citi-zens, so mild is the disorder.

Milbank, S. D., April 20.—The city boardof health has decided to quarantineagainst Sisseton, Sisseton agency andPeever, where smallpox has been preva-lent. Milbank is the natural outlet ofthese towns, and in order to protect thepeople the board of health has orderedthe railroad company not to bring pas-sengers from the infected towns.

Webster, S. D., April 20.—Smallpox be-ing reported among the Indians on theSisseton reservation, adjoining this 1

county, the board of health of Day countyto-day issued a quarantine against allIndians from entering any of the townsin this county.

NO PROGRESS MADEPremier Roblin Admits That the

N. P. Deal Is Stumped.

CANADIAN PACIFIC IS POWERFUL

People of Manitoba Are Bound toHave Competing; Line*—Prem-

ier 1m ReMerved.

The long pending deal between the Man-itoba government and the Northern. Pa-cific railway company, by which the"prairie province" of Canada hopes to se-cure all the lines of the American roadtraversing Canadian territory, isp racti-cally at a standstill. This admission wasmade to a Journal representative byPremier E. P. Roblin of Manitoba, whospent most of yesterday in Minneapolis,and left last evening for Winninpeg on theNorthern Pacific train.

Mr. Roblin arrived in St. Paul yesterdaymorning from Arkansas, where, he says,he has been taking a much needed rest.He was accompanied by Mrs. Roblin.During his slay in the twin cities he man-aged to elude newspaper men, until hewas seen by a Journal reporter justprior to the departure of his train forthe north.

Want to See Him.

Mr. Roblin's return to Winnipeg, it ap-pears, is eagerly awaited by many whofavor the securing of lines to competewith the Canadian Pacific railway, andgive lower carrying rates on grain shippedto the lake ports. If Mr. Roblin makesno further announcement regarding theprogress of the big deal than that madeto The Journal reporter—and hestated definitely that he would not—thepeople of Manitoba will get very littlecomfort out of it. The premier said:

"We are waiting to se how the legis-lators at Ottawa will act in the matter,and at present cannot aay how we willcome out."

When asked if he had heard a reportto the effect that President Hill of theGreat Northern was fighting the deal, Mr.Roblln said he had, but not from anyofficial source.

"I can't say anything about that mat-ter," he said; "I certainly have heardnothing in regard to it from the NorthernPacific people."

"Is there any ground for the statementthat the N. P. could, if it wished, with-draw from all negotiations with your gov-ernment because you have failed to securethe lines at the stipulated time, April 1?"

"I have not looked into it, and can ex-press no opinion."

Mr. Roblin would not state whetherManitoba would build her own lines incase the deal fell through. He said thatthe time was not ripe to talk much aboutthe matter.

A Promise Hard to Fulfil.

Ie is some months ago since Mr. Roblinfirst attempted to carry out his ante-election pledge to the people of Manitobato give t'uetn railways which would; enablethe farmers to get their grain to the lakeports at a much cheaper rate than thatgiven by the Canadian Pacific. That linehas for years controlled the carryingtrade in Manitoba, and the principal ob-ject of the deal with the N. P. was tosecure lines which would compete withthe Canadian Pacific.

Talk of Money.

It has been stated in the Manitoba pressthat the Canadian Pacific officials havesaid they were prepared to spend $250,000to defeat the deal. Now it is Intimatedby supporters of tlie deal that the delayin securing the necessary legislation atOttawa to make the N. P. secure in casethe lines are transferred, is due to Can-adian Pacific influence.

LUMBER WILL ADVANCESHIPMENTS GAIN 1O PER CENT

The Western Building Boom Callsfor Much Lumber—Northern

Mill* Raise.

An advance in the price of white pinelumber is expected within the next sixweeks. The demand is strong and stead-ily increasing and stocks are low. Manygrades are off the market entirely and itwill be two or three months before the newlumber can be marketed.

Lumber shipments in the white pine ter-ritory for the first three months of thisyear were 16 per cent in advance of thoseof the same period last year. While theroads in the country are not in the bestof condition in April and that always af-fects the demand, the shipments for thismonths have held up well with thoseof March. This spring has seen a re-markably good trade and there is everyindication that it will be continued.

Western cities have big building planswhich mean the consumption of a largeamount of material. Minneapolis is oneof them and it is certain that, if the labortroubles do not stop the work, the demandfor lumber locally will be the greatest inthe history of the city. Omaha, KansasCity, St. Louis, Denver. Sioux City andall other western towns have the samepromises to make. All danger of labortroubles in those towns will probably beover by the first of May and things inbuilding circles will begin to hum.

The northern Minnesota mills raised theprice of lumber from 50c to $1 per thou-sand, according to the grade, at a recentmeeting of the mill owners of Crookston,Grand Forks, Thief River Falls, St. Hil-aire and other mill towns in that section.The poor crop in the wheat country lastyear forced the .northern mills to discountthe list to a certain extent, but the con-dition of the lumber market generally thisspring enables the mill owners to advancethe price by doing away with the dis-counts.

MIXXETOXKA FREEZES OVER AGAIN.During the cold snap this week Minne-

tonka froze over for the second time sincefall. Here and there patches of ice werefloating, but the lake was comparativelyclear. After the freeze the other night a thincoating of ice was discovered over the en-tire surface. According to Captain Johnsonthis has not occurred since 1884.

NATIONAL GUARD INNOVATION.An innovation at the National Guard en-

campment at Lakeview this summer will bebattalion target practice, including volleyand skirmish practice by battalions and com-panies. The dates for encampment have notbeen announced. The artillery will probablygo to camp with either the first or secondregiments.

GUNDMANSEN MUST GO.Theo Gundmansen, now in the insane hos-pital at Fergus Falls, will be deported to

his old home in Sweden by a steamship leav-ing New York April 27. The decision todeport Gundmansen was reached some timeago, on a showing that he was insane be-fore reaching the states.

A SHOW OF REVENGE.A colored man was yesterday ejected froma Mississippi street car, St. Paul at thenorthern terminus of the line for not paying

his fare. In an attempt to retaliate he pur-sued the car several blocks with a drawnrevolver. The car was too fast for him how-ever, and after a chase of a few blocks hegave it up without firing a shot.

Miss Shaw was Just completing herfourth year of service in her present po-sition, where she had under her guidancethe large senior class of the school. Shewas promoted to the position from thejuniorroom, where she spent several yearsas assistant and principal, and she suc-ceeded one of the ablest men ever con-nected with the city schools. She taughtLatin and was unusually proficient, hav-ing the classics at her tongue's end. Herseries of special lessons in Virgil andCicero's Latin proee were preparedfor her own school work, but werefound so valuable that they were pub-lished by the board for the use of theother high schools in the city and arealso used 3n ether cities. This work wasdone in vacation time at the expense ofmuch needed re3t, from pure love of herwork, as she asked and received no com-pensation for it.

Seemed "Well Yesterday.

Miss Shaw was at school Thursday ap-parently in her usual health and spirits.At the close of school she lunched do^ntown and, with her brother, George K.Shaw, of the Tribune, attended to severalitems of business which kept her downtown until late in the afternoon. On herarrival at home no change was noticed inher and she seemed bright and cheerful.She was taken ill at about 6 o'clock andgrew steadily worse through the night,the cause of death being paralysis of thelungs, brought on by nervous shock.

Miss Shaw, who was the youngest ofher family, is survived by a married sis-ter, Mrs. Estabrook of lowa. Misses ClaraV. and Frances A. Shaw, win whom shelived, at 2524 Portland avenue, and GeorgeK. Shaw. • She was a sister of the lateJudge J. M. Shaw. In her early childhoodthe family came to Galena, 111., fromMaine, and later came to Minneapolis.Miss, Shaw had been finely educated in anormal school and under private instruc-tlno, being an accomplished linguist inFrench, German, and her special study,Latin.

Her Literary Talent.Although for years a devoted teacher

who sacrificed everything else to the in-terests of her school work, she had bril-liant literary gifts, which found outlet intfer ra.*e leisure in a popular novel,"Queen Bess," magazine stories and es-says. It wag her purpose to retire thisyear and devote the remainder of her lifeto literary pursuits, for which she wasunusually well qualified. In this move shewas encouraged by her family, all of whomare literary in their tastes and tendenciesand by whom she was regarded as beingthe most gifted member of the family.She had much literary material so far ad-vanced in manuscript that her sister, MissFrances Shaw, will be able to completethe work of publication. This includesshort stories and translations. An im-portant undertaking which she had com-pleted in manuscript is a completetranslation of the odes of Horace.

la her home and in the schoolroom MissShaw was at her best, and all who knewher in either admired, respected andloved her for her kindly spirit, justice,dignity, inspiring qualities, cheerfulnessand constancy in friendship. She neverlost interest in her pupils and the deepimpress which her lofty character and un-failing performance of duty as ateacher has left upon thousands of youngpeople in Minneapolis cannot be measuredand is scarcely conceivable, except tothose who have known her best. MissShaw's brilliant intellectual and socialqualities were reserved for the home andthose neare-st to her, but In this circleshe shone with the brightest luster, beingespecially endeared to her nephews andnieces, to whom she was an unfailingfriend and delightful companion.

Although endowed with a rare wit andquickness of repartee she never used itunkindly, and her quiet, reserved, calmmanner often gave no hint of this keentsense of humor. Her modesty was oneof her most marked characteristics, re-stricting the knowledge of her great abil-ities to those who came into closest con-tact with her. All such were her devotedfriends and admirers.

Loved by Her Associates.It was not left for death to bring forth

an expression of this regard. At thetime of Miss Shaw's promotion to A room,her former associate teachers were filledwith a desire to show their appreciationof such unassuming worth, and they pre-pared a surprise party for her at whicha formal testimonial was presented to herin the form of an artistic booklet accom-panied by a copy of the Winged Victory.In this testimonial were these words:"When we think of the long years of ableservice, of the many tasks which haveseemed thankless, of your unswerving de-votion to principle, our joy has a widermeaning, for we see another instancein which merit has, in some measure, re-ceived the recognition which is its due.We look upon your advancement to thisposition as a victory. Symbolizing this,we have brought you a Winged Victoryto perch upon your table, and we hopeit may remind you of our appreciation ofyour work in connection with the publicschools of the city."

The funeral will be held on Mondayafternoon, from the residence. A de-tailed notice will be given later. Theteachers of the Central high school held ameeting this morning and sent to thehouse as their representatives Mis3«aMary C. Putnam, Eloise Butler and E. A.Brooks. Misses Katherine Kidder, E. A.Brooks and Florence Wales were ap-pointed to draw up resolutions of respectand condolence.

A BIG 'TONKA DEALPhelps Island, in the Upper Lake,

Changes Hands.

IT'S TO BE PUT ON THE MARKET

New Company 'Will Improve andPlat It for Summer

Folk.

Phelps Island, the beautiful woodlandnestling in Minuetonka which has been leftin its native wildness all these years be-cause of vexatious litigation, is to be im-proved. The Western Realty company ofMinneapolis, which has taken over theassets of the old Northern Trust company,gets the Phelps island tract under a mort-gage, and will at once place the propertyon the market. Before doing so, however,the island will be platted and many im-provements will be made in its physicalcondition. New roads willbe cut through,and a general cleaning up of undesirableplaces will be begun.

The Western Realty company is officeredas follows: L. B. Henry, of Philadelphia,president; Judge A. H. Young, vice presi-dent; Fred B. Snyder, secretary and treas-urer.

Senator Snyder said to-day that thecompany would at once proceed to cut theisland up into fine building lots of fromtwo to five acres, the lots to have a front-age of 200 feet on the lake. The companyis prepared to spend money to make theisland more attractive than ever by goodroads and other improvements, and ex-pects to do a big business this season indisposing of the lots.

Phelps Island is the largest island inMinnetonka, containing nearly GOO acresof beautifully diversified and heavily tim-bered land. Its shores are for the mostpart sandy and high. The island is easilyaccessible from the Spring Park andMound stations on the Great Northernroad. Owing to legal complications, dueto default in interest payments on themortgage, the former owner, CarringtonPhelps, has been able to sell but few ofthe desirable lots. There are now on theisland but four cottages, in addition to thesummer hotel establishment of Mrs. J. H.Woolnough at Maple Heights.

There U road running through theisland from Spring Park station passingthe picnic grounds end crossing the bridgeover the entrance to Black lake. Thisroad runs to the upper end of the island,where Carrington Phelps once had a sum-mer cottage which was destroyed by fire.Prom here a bridge gives access to En-chanted island beyond. Another roadbranches off from this and crosses to themainland near Mound. These roads are invery poor condition, but can easily beimproved. These three bridges are theonly ones leading from the island.

LABOR OUTLOOK GLOOMYWOODWORKERS' TROUBLES IP

So Change in the Struggle Between'.'Union Carpenters and Mas-

\u25a0."-. ter Builders.

The woodworkers' union Thursday tookresolute ground in favor of a reductionof the working day to nine hours, andinstructed their conference committee tcstand by their demands without modifica-tion.

This meana that at the next conference*between the committee from the wood-workers and the manufacturers the com-mittee will insist upon full compliancewith the union's demands.

It is expected now that the next con-ference will be held early next week andthe stiff-necked attitude of the wood-workers bodes trouble. The general im-pression among those conversant with thesituation is that the manufacturers willnever consent to sign the union agree-ment unless some concessions are made,either in the matter of length of theworking day or on some other points.

The difficulty between the master build-ers and their locked out carpenters didnot enter a new phase to-day. It is notthought that there will be any greatchange before next Monday or Tuesday.

St. Patfl'M Troubles.Members of the Painters' Union and of the

Master Painters' Association, of St. Paul,say that it is probable that within a weeka general strike of all the building trades ialiable to take place.

Trouble.The case of Naas Bros., a Minneapolis

commission firm, against five St. Paul firms,is on trial in the Ramsey district court.

Last January a smooth man called on NaasBros, of Minneapolis and gained credenceand credit with that firm as the representa-tive of Mitchell & McClure of Duluth. He wasthere, he said, to buy a heavy bill of goodsfor lumber and mining camps in the northernpart of the state on account of Mitchell &McClure. The man or one of his agentswent to St. Paul and hired Dopson & Johnsonto unload the goods and deposit them in theirwarehouse and sell them out, acting as hisagents. Dopson & Johnson, truckmen andgeneral factors, acting in good faith, handledthe merchandise. The carload of merchandisewas valued at about $1,100.

George C. Stiles, the Minneapolis attorneyappearing for the plaintiff, said the suit wasreally against Dopson & Johnson, althoughnot brought against them Ihy name.The five complaints show the sums de-manded of the defendants: William N Eean$92.64; Yerxa Bros. & Co., $93; Andrew ShochGrocery company, $75.44; B.
