Bracken. Dealers in the Cooling Chunks Ketuse to Kevcal the Condition of the Boxes. "There few women in Minnesota who do not supervise their kitchens," said John McCabe, assistant state com missioner of pure food, in commenting on the statement of Dr. II. W.

Wiley of the federal pure food department, that Uorgias still exist in the nation's kitch ens.

Bracken Savs. Dr. JI. M. Bracken, state health com missioner, thinks that Dr.

Wilev right in warning people against dirty ice boxes. "People don't pay enough attention to ice boxes," he declares. "There is no reason why germs should not increase. Mauv peoole believe it is so cold that tbe germs will not ewjtherfi, tnrrrew ice boxes are cold enoutra to prevent germs multiplying. Ice boxes snoulu be cleansed thoroughly at least once in two weeks, with scalding hot water, and all movable parts should be taken out.

"If the ice boxes of Minneapolis need cleaning, tbe only people who know it outside the families affected are not going to tell. The ice men hesitatingly refuse to deny that there are no 'smelly' ice boxes in the city." "We are paid to deliver ice," said one official. "We don't care how dirty the box or kitchen is. If people waut to have ptomaine germs or any other germs, fried, boiled or on the half shell, it is none of our business."

Mayor J. C.

Haynes agrees with Superintendent of Police Frank T. Corriston that the numerical strength the police force of Minneapolis is entirely too small. He recommends that the board of tax levy in its estimate make provision for 50 new patrolmen to be put onthe first of the year. "Although Minneapolis -has been in creasing in population by the thous- ands the number of patrolmen has practically remained stationary" said' Mr. Haynes.

"It is certainly reason-; able to say that the number of officers needed is gauged by the population together with the amount of territory to cover. "The figures printed in Tuesday's! Tribune show that cities with much less population and about one-fourth the number of square miles have from 100 to 150 more officers."

Remember the date, The Sunday Tribune, Aug. 29. in Tariff Demonstration Man Named on Committee to Arrange Insurgent Meeting Opposes the Idea. Savs Such a Catherine- Would Serve Only to Promote Democratic Interests. Charles S.

Marden of Ilarncsville on 3 of the men apjwinted by Henry A. Castle to serve on the committee to prepare the proposed demonstration in honor of the congressmen who voted against the Payne-Aldrich tariff bill, takes a strong position against the pro posed meeting. Mr. Marden says the rnly object to be subserved by such demonstration would be to increase the dissensions in the Republican party. In a letter addressed to The Tribune, Mr.

Marden says: "I have written Mr. Castle discouraging the holding of a nonpartisan meeting for the purpose stated, because I believe it would result in further dissentions in the Jtepubliean party aud furnish mora comfort for the enemy. "A few years ago the Republicans of this state divided over a pretty small question and started calling each other hard names. Kwmgh-voters were convinced that one taction or the other must have been telling the truth, and the result was the election of a Democratic governor in one of the strongest Republican states in the union. "The proposed meeting could have only one result, some one would start calling names, and before the year closed the enemy would have enough campaign literature to lust another six years, and afford them means of electing the governor and a few congressmen.

"I should be pleased to act as a member of a committee to devise ways and means of uniting the Republican paity in this state, and starting a campaign for the election of a Republican governor and a straight Republican congressional delegation, but I would never knowing! contribute to the cai paign literature of the Democrats or asist in stirring up strife among our own members, who are no doubt doing their best to serve their districts and the nation. "The Ninth district has raised a good crop and we aro more interested in gathering it than anything else. Our congressional delegation secured ample protection for the farmer, his products are placed beyond foreign competition, and he should be willing to contribute a little to the government on what little he has to purchase. "Yours trulv, MARDEN." Senator Calhoun Declines. State Senator J.

F. Calhoun of Minneapolis yesterday received the official notification of his appointment to serve on the committee which is to meet in St. Paul today for the purpose of preparing the proposed demonstration in honor of the 'Congressmen who voted agninst the Payne-Aldrich tariff bill. Senator Calhoun replied that, in view of the fact that he did not believe in propriety of the meeting, he would de cline to serve. Man Attacked by Thieves St.

Paul Visitor Is "Strong Armed" In a Nicollet Avenue Saloon-Assailants Escape. James McCormick, a visitor from St. Paul, was "strong armed" in broad daylight in a Nicollet avenue saloon yesterday and then had his purse, which was taken from him inihe melee, returned to him. The five or six thieves who pulled' off the daring robbery evidently were disappointed to find only 30 cents In the purse. McCormick believes their elaborate plan of restoring the pocketbook was designed chiefly to permit the gang to get the rest of his personal belongings, among them bis watch.

McCormick entered the saloon of Carl Johnson in the afternoon to meet a friend. While waiting he purchased drinks and exhibited some money. Soon several men were crowding him and his purse disappeared as he was buffeted about. One of the men then handed the pocketbook back to him. McCormick was clearing tie aeeKs for action, having his right hand poised for an uppercut, when he thought of his watch and reached for it instead of delivering the blow, The "Btrong-arm" crowd then left the saloon.

McCormick reported the alleged robbery to tho police, but it was too late to hope to arrest anv of his assailants. EipreiKman It a Bankrupt. Janu'fl W. iaitrnl(l, ao cxpi-cim ami transfer man of Minm-apoliM. Iiaa nlfN a petition io biiukmpti In Hie I'nlted Rtatea district cnurt.

F. Corbctt Says. Sedimentation May Be Suc cessfully Employed, Mr. sy: rkes Believes. Samples of water taken from near the center of Mille Lacs lake, from the ghoro near the mouth of an inlet and from the streams themselves, prove conclusively the success of the sedimentation process to eliminate algae and vegetable coloring found in water according to Edward Sykes, super visor of the waterworks.

The samples taken from tbe streams show a peaty coloi-, from the soluble vegetable matter and algae. The sam pies taken near the shore at the mouth of tbe stream have a less of this col or, owing to the brief process of sedimentation. The water further out in the lake, when the sedimentation pro cess has been going on for an indefinite time, is colorless. "Those experiements are interesting to me because of my claim that with six more reservoirs I can give Minne apolis much better water through a process of sedimentation," said Mr. Sykes.

"During the past few weeks we have been eliminating a large amount of algae from the Minneapolis water by the same process. At this time of the year, when the water is warm, much more algae forms and something is needed to take the peat color from the water. At the reservoirs we have been using a copper sulphate solution in only small quantities. In fact we have been using it in the proportion of one to two hundred million gallons of water. Although this proportion is unusually small the effect could be seen plainly.

Sends Algae to Bottom. "Copper sulphate is admitted to be a destroyer of algae. It not only the vegetable matter, but sends it to the bottom. Our Intakes pipes which are placed four or five feet from the bottom, get none of ttie algae what ever ana tne wnier is greaiiy improved. We could use this process on a large scale, even with our small reservoir.

"City Bacteriologist J. F. Corbett informs me that the sulphate has been Uhed to success in quantities of one to oi.e hundred thousand gallons. This amount would absolutely destroy all of the vegetable matter. vith the apph cation of some ozone the bacteria also could be destroyed, which would give us water much better than we now have.

"Sedimentation is becoming popular in all the large cities, not only for its success as a purifier, but also because of the small cost. It certainly could be used successfully in Minneapolis. Commission to Get Cash Council Committee Becommends That Citizens Be Paid Over $2,000 for Expenses. waterworks committee has rec omrnended the payment of the bill presented by the citizens' pure water commission appointed by the city council to investigate the Minneapolis water problem. The bills presented to the committee include $1,083.85 for stenographers and clerical work, $4.

SO for typewriter supplies and $1,124.44 I expenses incurred on the trip to Eastern cities, to Mille Lacs and to the American Waterworks association convention at Milwaukee. City Attorney Healy holds that the bills are legal, but he suggested that the commission give the information received to the city, council. This will be done in a written report. The question of completing the laying of the water mains was also discussed. Supervisor K.

T. Sykes reported that 11 or 12 miles of mains hive already been laid this year and that about 11 miles is yet to be completed. Of this amount there are a few blocks which cannot be put in this year on account of the grades. He said tbe other work will be done before winter. PEDDLERS CRITIC IS ANSWERED Friend of Little Dealers Defends Their Business Methods.

Peddlers who hawk their wares about the streets of Minneapolis are defended in the following letter to The Tribune yesterday: "A correspondent asks the publicity department of the Minneapolis Tribune to try and rid the city of what he calls a nuisance because some fruit or vegetable peddlers shout out their wares must certainly either be an Idle man who stays home and listens to all that sort of nuisance, where others go about their business and have no time to listen to any such things, or he might be a grocer or a grocer's personal friend, or else he is looking for publicity. 1 I suppose the writer is not aware of tho fact that the poor who shouts his wares in order to sell, and thereby support his family, is paying a whole iot more taxes than a good many grocers who employ two rigs to deliver their goods. Besides, I should think it is the only practical and satis- factory way for a peddler to sell his fruit or vegetables. I believe any man I or woman would rather have the ped-I ler veil himself hoarse so he or she could come out and buy if they wanted than to have every peddler come to the door and thereby become a genuine nuij sanee, especially to every housewife. "The writer probably does not mean to solve this nuisance that way either.

Ho would perhaps want to see every peddler off the earth in order that he might be comfortablo in every way. He might like to have every peddler's mouth locked so they could not wake him by what he calls 'continuous "For such men as the writer the farm is the most comfortable place on earth. MORRIS PINCK."

Two youthful desperadoes, who bad decided to invado the wild and woolly West fully equipped for war and the hunt, were arrested Tuesday nipht by Infectives P.ahan and Ohman of the South Bide station just before they put into execution a plan to jump a freight. On their persons were found several revolvers and jack knives; also a pen-ra1 assortment of hardware, all stolen from Nelson's hardware store, Twenty-fifth street and Twenty-fifth ave-fcue south. When the burglary was reported to the police, the detectives in true Shor-lockian style, deduced that it was the work of boys.

The rest was easy. Ernest Strom, who is 12 years old, had just returned from the state training f'-hool. He was at once arrested. He confessed and implicated Nels Anderson, 8 years old, who was also nabbed. Hi mm was Rfnt to the training school hi and was out on parole.

It is thought that he will be Sent back. The other boy, owing to bin youth, probably will be released on probation. Prison Free -W Torture Stillwater Never Scene of Brutalities Such as Those Exposed in Ohio, Board of Control Says. There is no water cure, no hanging ty the thumbs or toes and no slaps on the back with sanded paddles in the Minnesota state prison, such as is declarer to be in common practice at the Ohio penitentiary and elsewhere, in a recent article, according to members of lhe state board of control. "The most severe method of used in our prison is the solitary confinement," said I.

M. Rindahl, chairman of the board, yesterday. "This is used only in extreme cases when the prisoners are incorrigible. They are locked in a small cell and kept on bread and water until they show signs of repentance." The solitary confinement cell has one door of iron bars to which the prisoner is handcuffed, and outside of this is another door which is closed, so that the prisoner cannot look out. There is another door in the rear so that the prison physician can look in to gee that the prisoner is not undergoing any undue suffering.

Solitary confinement is inflicted only to prisoners who try to escape, who destroy property or who indulge in fights and display a general negligence in regard to their work. The prisoner is put in third grade uniform and is kept in third grade for 30 days after. All his tobacco, reading, writing and visiting privileges are cut off. Corporal punishment is strictly prohibited and no guard or officer is permitted to "club" a prisoner except in si lf-defcnse. Man Buried Alive Is Saved C.

L. Groves Is Rescued by His Fellow Workmen When Ledge Tumbles Down Upon Him. C. L. Groves, 92 Hoyalston avenue, was completely buried in a sand pit at Twdfth avenue north and Fourth street yesterday.

H.d it not been for the prompt aid of his fellow workmen he would have died from suffocation within a few minutes. But they managed to get him out in time. Groves was working under a ledge of Bod and sand, which suddenly gave way, covering him. The accident was witnessed by several of the other workmen, who hurried to rescue. For fear of hurting the man they had to idig with their hands.

The weight of the ledge wns sufficient to dislocate one of Groves' shoulders. He was also otherwise injured and was unconscious when taken out of the pit. The police patrol took the man to the City hospital, where it is said he will recover. ORDINANCE MAY BE REPEALED Alderman Sweeney Dissatisfied With Grant Given Railroad.
