— —— ARE READY TO SHARE THE SUNDAY LID WITH OTHERS Minnesota Retail Liquor Dealers Association, in Their Meeting at St. Paul, Say They Are Willing to Close Sundays if Others Do. L —_— St. Paul, Aug. 9.—The Minnesota Retail morning declared themselves as sat- Liqnor dealers yesterday istied with the Sunday closing of their places of business, provided every other place of business included under the same law is forced to com- ply. What they protest against is enforcement of law against them as a class. They profess to be ready The officers over the state seem irclined to enforce the law against the saloonkeepers and the saloon- keepers seem inclined to see that the Sunday closing law is obeyed in its entirety. Another resolution adopted by the liquor dealers concerns the enforce- ment of the law that any person or club which sells intoxicating bever- ages must secure a local license. toobey thelaw if their business is!The saloon men want to see fair not singled out from among several other kinds which are not necessasy on Sunday. The resolution was adopted unani- mously. The board of directors was instructed to take action with the city authorities in the state, or with higher officers if the city officers did not act, to see that the Sunday closing law is enforced in its entirety. The saloonkeepers are not in favor of a strict Puritan Sab- bath. They resent the attempts to close their places of business on Sunday when others as equally unnecessary to the people are per- mitted to run without molestation. The effect of this action will be as far reaching as the amount of press- ure brought to bear on the officials charged with enforcing the law. play in the matter of license and think that all clubs and the proprie- tors of other places where liduor is sold shonld be compelied to pay the seme fee as the saloon men. This matter also was referred to the board of directors with instructions to prepare plans for seeing that the matter is taken up with the proper officials with a \\riew to an early rearrangement of the present unequality. Malt and similar drinks came in for strong condemnation at- the hands of the delegates to the state convention. They believe that the sale of malt should be abolished. They claim that it is nothing but cheap beer and are going to use the Influence of the organization to pre- vent its sale. GOMPANY MUST PAY THE HOLD-BAGK TO EMPLOYES Judge Brown, at East Grand Forks, Rendered Decision that is of Gen- eral Interest. The result of a trial at East Grand the Grand Forks Lumber company was sued for retain- Forks, wherein ing hold-backs from men quitting their employ, will be of interest to laboring men and their employes, generally. The Crookston Times says of the trial and its results; “The Grand Forks Lumber com- pany is under legal obligations to pay the hold backs, withheld from men quitting the employ of the com- before the end of the season accord- ing to the decision of Judge Brown, rendered yesterday in the cases of Baldaser Obenaier and Hannas Haddson against the company. “It appears that the plaintiffs left the employ of the company June 9th, and that the company in making settlement withheld from them the amounts of $31 and $29 respectively, claiming these amounts as a bonus to be paid only in the event of the men remaining with the company throughout the season. “A large number of witnesses were examined in substantiation of the claim of the plaintiffs, that the work given them was of such a character that they could not do it and made their work so burdensome that they quit the company’s employ. Bron- son & Collins appeared for the plaintiffs and Massee & Finlayson for the defendants. The court awarded the plaintiffs the full amount of their claim. The hold back claim is the same as that involved in suits brought by some thirty other ex-employes of the company who were involved in the recent strike, which will be heard later, and which aggregate some $1,500. There is a lively interest in the suits among the saw mill employes.” Law as to Boiler Inspection. Attorney General Young has given an opinion regarding the inspection of boilers. He holds that the law did not intend that ordinary boilers used for the steam heating purposes in building should be inspected under the state law. Such boilers are exempt, although boiler inspect- ors have heretofore inspected them, charging the regular fee for so doing. A case in St. Paul was cited by the attorney general. A flreman in a three story brick block was convicted and fined for operating a boiler with out first obtaining a license. The case was appealed to the supreme court and a decision was rendered as follows: Ordinary steam heating plants used for heating buildings occupied in part for residence purposes do not come within the scope of opera- tion of chapter 91, page 92, Gen. Laws 1899, providing for the licens- ing of persons operating steam boilers and steam machinery of any kind. ““Mixer” Will Probably Race Here. Joe Eckert, the popular clerk at the Crookston hotel, left this morn- ing for Thief River Falls, where he will start his fast horse, “Mixer,” in one of the races there today.

It is very likely -that the Crookston horse will be brought to Bemidji to participate in the races at the county fair—September 27-28. McGuire Stays at Grand Rapids. St. Paul, Aug. 9.—Col. W. M.

New York, Aug. 9—With British consols selling at a new low level and American stocks generally lower in London following the sharp declines here Wednesday the opening of the New York stock market was attended with unusual interest. The decline in consols s generally attributed to dis- turbed conditions in the money mar- ket abroad, but it is not so easy to assign a cause for the crumbling away of prices of securities in the American market. The sharp decline in quotations Wednesday was without explanation, further than it was due to heavy selling by holders of railtoad and other shares who did not care to retain their securities at this time. There was nothing to show whether their desire to sell was because they were tired of waiting for an upward movement of prices, because of the low supplies of money, or because of depressed sentiment in Wall street over the difficulties in which many corporations find themselves with the national and state governments. First transactions showed large sales at lower prices. Union Pacific was 114 lower on sales of 5,800 shares and Northern Pacific was 2% lower. Market in Nervous State. The market was generally in a nervous state, but the trading was not attended with any extraordinary excitement. The declines were attrib- uted to sales by speculators who de- sire lower prices and to holders who did not have the funds to protect thely brokers against further losses. The so-called Standard Oil and Frick groups of stocks were the centers of attack, included in that designation being the Union Pacific, Reading, Amalgamated Copper and American Bmelting and in close sympathy the Hill roads and St. Paul. There was one drop of 1% points in Union Pa- cific from 129% to 128 on one sale of 500 shares. That stock declined an extreme 4% to 127% and then rallied 834. A drop of 4 points in American Bmelting carried that stock to below par and the preferred stock touched par at a decling of 3. Northern Pa- cific lost 8% and Reading 3. Losses of between 1 and 2 were quite general, although the Eastern trunk lines were comparatively little affected. The speculators for the decline used as their principal fresh ammunition the reports from Washington of the in- tentlon of the department of justice to push eriminal prosecutions against certain heads of corporations. The| violence of the collapse in prices gave rise to the usual anxiety over possible embarrassment, but no such trouble developed. In the curb market Stan- dard Oil sold down 11 points to 485. The market became steadler, but when the earlier losses had been re- trieved there was no disposition to follow the advance and the market fell into extreme dullness. FAILED TO EARN DIVIDEND Decrease 8hown in Net- Receipts of New York Central. New York, Aug. 9.—The New York Central and Hudson Rlver Railway company has not earned its dividend for the six months ended June 30, as shown by the company’s statement Just issued. The sum earned and available for the dividend after all charges for the half year was $2,947, 361, while the sum required for the semi-annual disbursement to stock- holders at 3 per cent is $5,368,960, or $2,411,492 more than was earned. ‘The gross earnings increased $4,051, 860, but the operating expenses in- creased $6,624,600 and there was an in- crease of $438,512 in fixed charges and taxes. The deficit for the last six months of $2,411,692 compares with a surplus of $653,023 for the same pe- riod last year. The dividend, howev- er, has been increased to 6 per cent per annum since last jyear, making an added requirement of $1,629,016 for the six months. The Cleveland, Cincinnati, Chicago and St. Louis railway also earned less after all charges than is required for its dividend. The road's gross earn- ings increased $1,070,102, but this was almost swallowed up by increased Pperatlng expenses. TEN PER CENT ON COMMON Union Pacific Directors Declare Big Dividend. - . New York, Aug. 9.—The directors of the Union Pacific Rallroad com- pany have declared a regular quarterly dividend of 2% per cent on the com- mon stock. ‘The last dividend amount- eg to 2% per cent, but was not desig- nated as regular at that time.

BITTERLY ATTACKS JOHN D. ——— Lecture by Professor in Rockefeller's Own University. Chicago, Aug. 9.—John D. Rockefel- ler, founder and supporter of the Uni- versity of Chicago, was bitterly at- tacked by Professor Charles Zueblin of the department of sociology. of that institution. “Coward,” “enemy of the peoplel “ally of the soolalists” and all around evil doer were some of the names hurted at the head of the Standard Ol by_the educator. i i BT, i e s A st ey, “A ‘similar atfack was made by Pro- fessor Bushnell of ‘Washington, who declared that the whole world ig turn. ing to socfalism In an effort to escape the burdens that have been piled on by the class to which Rockefeller be- longs. Professor Zueblin was greeted by a large audience when he appeared in Kent theater to dellver his second lec- ture on timely topics. Not only did he express emphatic opinions about the head of the ofl combine, but he also eriticised the Standard Oil company itself. He de- clared that the defense made for the big corporation in the recent case in which it was fined $29,240,000, that it had only committed an offense that is common in business, was weak and cowardly. “John D. Rockefeller, J. Plerpont Morgan, E. H, Harriman and the oth- er trust magnates are doing more to make soclalism possible than are its most zealous adherents. They are consolidating.the industries and there- by simplifying the process for state ownership, which constitutes social- {sm.” THE LATEST IN TRUSTS. Corset Manufacturers Said to Have Formed Combine. T ‘Washington, Aug. 9.—The latest in the way of trusts is one that will probably make the women of the land thoroughly angry. It is nothing less than a corset combine. When the news of it permeates through the na- tlon President Roosevelt will prob- ably be importuned by all the wom- en’s clubs and organizations to set the department of justice on it and rend it into small bits~ The statement is made on the au- thority of the president of a Connec- ticut company that sells materials to corset manufacturers that the four great corset manufacturing concerns of the country are to form a combine, not by any formal organization: but by such an understanding as to the conduct of business as to make vir- tually a combination. It is denied that it is the purpose to increase prices, but at the same time it is stat- ed that the manufacturers are far be- hind in their orders. The leading corset companies of the United States, -according to this infor. mation, turn out 200,000,000 corsets a year. . TAFT TO SEE PRESIDENT. Final Conference Preceding Trip to Philippines. ‘Washington, Aug. 9.—Secretary of War Taft will be back in Washington next week from his vacation. On the way from his retreat in Canada the secretary of war will call at Oyster Bay for a long and final talk with President Roosevelt before leaving on his trip to the Philippines and around the world in September. The conference with the president possibly will be more significant politically than otherwise. It is regarded as probable that if President Roosevelt has thought of any new plan of eliminating himself from consideration in connection. with the nomination on the national ticket a year hence more absolutely than through his utterance on the night of election in 1904 he may lay it before Secretary Taft when they meet. The secretary will therefore be in a posi- tion to go across the continent on his speechmaking tour with definite knowledge of how the third term talk is to be sllenced. CRITICISES STATE ACTION Judge Grosscup Favors Federal Con- trol of Traffio. Chicago, Aug. 9.—Judge Peter S. Grosscup of the United States circult court, while addressing the Traffic club at the Exmoor Country club ,se verely criticised states for interfering with federal authority in| matters of Interstate traffic. - “The federal courts,” he said, “will retaln their authority over interstate commerce and their right to regulate and control it despite the frantic ef- forts which are made in several parts of the country by state authorities to deprive them of the right.” . “There is too much regulation now,” interrupted a prominent member of the Traffic club. Judge Grosscup paused a moment and replied: “You are wrong, my friend. The fault, if fault there is, is not with the amount of federal regulatiqp, but with the character of some of it in the past. You cannot have too much federal feg- ulation if it is wisely administered.” @reat Britain Takes ‘Action. London, Aug. 9.—At the request of the government of Persia Foreign Sec- retary Grey has instructed the British ambassador at Constantinople to draw Turkey’s attention to the recent incursion of Turkish troops into the territory of the shah and to urge thelr withdrawal in the interest of peace.

AS CONFESSED BY ADAMS Body of Victim of Labor Trouble Is Exhumed. Denver, Aug. 9—A special to the News From Telluride, Colo., says: What is said to be the skeleton of ‘W. J. Barney, the timber man em- ployed by the Smuggler Union mine who mysteriously disappeared in the month of June, 1901, was exhumed ‘Wednesday near Alta mill, near Gold King basin, twelve miles #om town, by General Bulkeley Wells, manager of the Smuggler Union Mining com- pany, and others.

Barney Incurred the {1l will of the union here by working at the Smug- gler Union mine after the strike in April, 1901, It was this strike that cpused the riots in July 8 of that year. WL LIANS 1S WINNER Declared Democratic Nominee for Senator From Mississippi. STATE COMMITTEE DECIDES After Completing Canvass of Returns Minority Leader In céngrau s Found to Have a 8mall Majority Over Governor Vardaman. Jackson, Miss., Aug. 9.—The Dem- ocratic state executive committee met at noon and declared Congressman John. Sharp Willlams as the party nominee for the United States senate. The canvass of the returns showed a majority of 648 votes for Willlams, the totals being as follows: Williams, 59,496; Vardaman, 58,848. There will be no contest over the result. After a short caucus between the two factions it was finally agreed to ablde by semi-official returns as fur- nished by Secretary of State Powers from the various countles and which show that Mr. Willlems has a major- ity of 648 votes. The motion to de- clare Mr. Willlams the nominee was seconded by the friends of Governor Vardaman. The committee then for- mally declared Mr. Williams nominat- ed as United States senator. This is considered the final settlement of the now celebrated contest. Governor Vardaman conceded the nomination of Mr. Willlams by send- ing the following note to the commit- tee: “The Democratic party, through its executive committee, has declared Mr. ‘Williams the nominee and I accept the arbitration of that tribunal with- out a tinge of resentment or regret for anything done or sald by friends or me during the campaign. I am for the nominee and hope that he will | make the people of Mississippi a good United States senator.” Los Angeles Telegraphers Out, Los Angelés, Aug. 9.—Following the | refusal of Western Union telegraph officials to reinstate a discharged operator nearly seventy members of ihe Los Angeles Commercial Teleg- raphers’ Union of America walked out. there is absolutely no prospect of the men resuming werk at present.
