THE wife HIS MINNEAPOLIS TRIBUNE: THURSDAY Hong AUGUST 26 1909. in THE Marden Fears Party Row in Tariff Demonstration Man Named on Committee to Arrange Insurgent Meeting Opposes the Idea. Says Such a Gathering Would Serve Only to Promote Democratic Interests. Charles S. Marden of Barnesville, one of the men appointed by Capt.

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 cnly 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: 6T 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 Republican party and furnish more comfort for the enemy. 'A few rears ago the Republicans of this state divided over a pretty small question and started calling each other hard names. Enough voters were convinced that one faction or the other must have been telling the truth, and the ren sult was the election of a Democratic governor in one of the strongest Republican states in the union. 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 last another six years, and afford them means of electing the governor and a few congressmen.

4T should be pleased to act as a member of a committee to devise ways and means of uniting the Republican party in this state, and starting campaign for the election of a Republican governor and a straight Republican congressional delegation, but I would never knowingly contribute to the campaign 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. 4 The Ninth district has raised a good crop and we are 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 government on what little he to purchase. nabe "Yours truly, "CHAS. S.

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. today for the purpose of preparing the proposed demonstration in honor of the congressmen who voted against 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 decline to serve. Man Attacked by Thieves St. Paul Visitor Is "'Strong in a Nicollet Avenue SaloonAssailants 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 in the melee, returned to him.

The five or six thieves who puiled off the daring robbery evidently were disappointed to find only 30 cents in the purse. MeCormick believes their elaborate plan restoring the pocketbook was designed chiefly to permit the gang to get the rest of his personal belongings, among them his watch. MeCormick 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 the decks for action, having his right. hand poised for an uppercut, thought of his watch and reached for it instead of delivering the blow. The 'strong arm" crowd then left the saloon. McCormick reported the alleged robbery to the police, but it was too late to hope to arrest any of his assailants.

Father Carrying Infant Walks All Night to City His Bare Feet Bleeding, Brooklyn Center Man Brings Child to Police Station. After Quarrel With Wife, She Takes Her Children and He Leaves With Baby. Walking all night, carrying an eightmonths-old infant, B. O. Dahl, a farmer living near Brooklyn Center, arrived at the North Side police station Tuesday in an exhausted condition.

He wore no shoes and his feet were cut and bleeding. He was only partially dressed and he had not taken time to put any clothes on baby; it was merely wrapped in a blanket. According to his story he had quarreled with his wife, who had been married before and had three children with first husband. The woman took her children and left the house and her example was followed by the husband. What has become of Mrs.

Dahl is not known. Another story told by neighbors i is to the effect that one of Mrs. Dahl's daughters committed some trivial offense and that her step-father attempted to punish her, with the result that Mrs. Dahl took her children and departed. It is said that the neighbors formed a posse and went in search of Dahl.

but that he hurried away with his child without taking time to dress either himself or the infant. The police are now investigating the two stories, and in the meantime the baby has been turned over to Unity house, 1616 Washington avenue north and is being cared for by the matron.

There is no water cure, no hanging by the thumbs or toes and no slaps on the back with sanded paddles in the Minnesota state prison, such as is declarec to be in common practice at the Ohio penitentiary and elsewhere, in a recent article, according to members of, the "The state board of method control. of most severe punishment used in our prison is the solitary confinement." said P. M.

Ringdahl, 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 closed, so that the prisoner cannot look out. There is another door in the rear 80 that the prison physician can look in to see 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.

Sykes Claims Plan to Drive Out Algae Says Experiments Prove Present City Water May Be Improved. Sulphate Will Destroy All Vegetable Matter, Dr. J. F. Corbett Says.

Sedimentation May Be Successfully Employed, Mr. Sykes Believes. Samples of water taken from near the center of Mille Lacs lake, from the shore 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 T. Sykes, supervisor of the waterworks. The samples taken from the streams show a peaty color, from the soluble vegetable matter and algae.

The samples taken near the shore at the mouth of the stream have a less of this color, owing to the brief process of sedimentation. The water further out in the lake, when the sedimentation process has been going on for an indefinite time, is coloriess. "Those experiments are interesting to me because of my claim that with six more reservoirs I can give Minneapolis 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.

this time of the year, the water is warm, much more algae forms and something is needed to take the color from the water. At the reservoirs we have been using a copper sulphate solution have only been small using it in quantities. the proportion of one to two hundred milgallons of water. A Khough this proportion is unusually small the effect could be seen plainly, Sends Algae to Bottom. "Copper sulphate is admitted to be a destroyer algae.

It not only sends destroys the vegetable matter, but it to the bottom. Our intakes pipes, which are placed four or five feet from the bottom, get none of the algae whatever and the water is greatly 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 used to success in quantities of one to one hundred thousand gallons. This amount would absolutely destroy all of the vegetable matter. With the application of some ozone the bacteria also could be destroyed, which would give US water much better than we now have. in all the large cities, for its Sedimentation is becoming popular success as a purifier, but also because of the small cost. It certainly could be used successfully in Commission to Get Cash Council Committee Recommends That Citizens Be Paid Over $2,000 for Expenses.

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. "I suppose the writer is not aware of the fact that the poor peddler who shouts his wares in order to sell, and thereby support his family, is paying a whole lot 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 satisfactory way for a peddler to sell fruit or vegetables. I believe any man 1 or woman would rather, have the pedler yell himself 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 nuisance, especially to every housewife.

writer probably does not mean to solve this nuisance that way either. He would perhaps want to see every peddler off the earth in order that he be comfortable 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.

Perils Lurk in Ice Boxes in Homes of Twin Cities Germs Romp Over Foods and Cleansing Is Needed, Declares Dr. H. M. Bracken. Dealers in the Cooling Chunks Refuse to Reveal the Condition of the Boxes.

"There is no reason why should not increase. Many people believe it is so cold that the germs will not grow there, but few ice boxes are cold enough to prevent germs multiplying. Ice boxes should 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, the 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 We are paid to deliver ice," said one official.
