Disheartened at his iailme to obtain Work, James Curran, formerly a maehm 1st employed bv the Minneapolis Thres- ing Machine company, committed sui- cide at his home in Hopkins yesterday afternoon by drinking carbolic acid. JHiS f a m i l y was away when he swal- lowed the drug, and they found him un- cdnsfeious on the kitchen floor when they'returned late in the afternoon. A physician was summoned, but the man died before an antidote could be given. Deputy Coroner Graben pronounced death due to poison taken with suicidal intent, and allowed the family to take charge of the remains. Curran had been employed by the thresher company for several years and lost his position several weeks -ago. Since then he was unable to get employ- ment. He was 27 years old and leave* a wife and children. COMPANTMMETFOR * SUMMER AMUSEMENTS Another amusement trust has been formed. The Twin City Amusement company with a capital stock of $10,- O0O, liabilitv, $5,000, has filed articles of incorporation. The incorporators are L . N . Scott and Lac Staffoid, of the Metropolitan opera- houses, Minneapolis and St. Paul; Theo L. Hayes, manager of the Bijou and Grand operahouses, and M. Breslauer, the billposter. Some stock, itis under- stood, wil be sold to others interested in the control of local amusement af- fairs, the intention being to secure the management for outdoor shows during periods of the year when the theaters are closed. The companv is also seeking to secure laAd in a downtown location which can be fenced in and fitted up as a sort of amusement park. A "fire show,"-is said to have been already booked, in which the Minneapolis fire department is to be interested, and such enterprises as carnival companies, small circuses and animal shows are to be corralled.

He takes exception espe- cially to that part of Mr. Moody's state- ment relating to the National Associa- tion of Betail Druggists. "The attorney general's statement would tend to represent,'' says Mr. Voe- geli, "that the Betail Druggists' asso- ciation is a creation of the other asso- oiotions mentioned in the Moody peti- tion, namely, the Proprietary Associa- tion of America and the National Wholesale Druggists' association. This is not the case. The retail association is entirely independent and composed of local associations in all parts of the United States. Furthermore, we of the retail association are often at war with the others and have had several hard battles with them. Local Association's Object. "The object of the local associations of retailers that comprise the national association is to establish uniformly safe trade relations and the prevention of foolish local fights, such as, in the case of Minneapolis, for instance, havo caused the failure of many retailers. On some classes of goods, notably pro- prietary medicines, we are absolutely at the mercy of the manufacturers. Some manufacturers have established serial number contract plans and established a fixed price on their goods. In this they have been upheld by the courts. '' Jobbers in order to handle these ar- ticles must contract to sell at tho es- tablished prices only, and must sell only to those retailers who will do the same. In signing this agreement the retailer does not become a member of the re- tail association nor must he be a mem- ber of the association ya. order to se- cure the goods. This contract plan is not confined to medicines and drugs, but is used also by certain makers of hats and gloves, shoes, etc. If the re- tailer refuses to sign the price contract he cannot secure the contract goods, and if he breaks the contract and cuts S rices he is listed as unfair, as Mr. loody charges. W e a s retailers would gladly break away if we could. In most cases we would not handle the stuff at all were it not for the demand of the trade, which compels us to keep these articles in stock. On goods other that contract we frequently allow cuts below the manufacturer's list, fixing a price that will no more than cover the cost of the articles and the necessary operating percentage. .„v R e t a i l e r s Independent. "The practices are forced on all re- tailers, whether association members or not. The National Association of Be- tail Druggists is independent of the two associations forming the trust, and, as I have said, frequently fights them. Our purpose is legitimate, and the same in vogue among other lines of business. We try to keep everybody in line for reasonable and safe business methods. Mr. Moody's charges apply higher up and not to the retailers who, standing next to the public as they do, are in- terested in many of the same things flint, tho -rmT-ilin io >> that the public is. ] "Exclusive Shirts Makers" $2.50,$3,$5.

AGED MAFFOUND -- A SUICIDE IN PARK His life taken by his own hand prob- ably m t a fit of insanity, the body of August Weyhrauch, Sr., was found in the shallow water of the pond i n V a n Cleve park, Fifteenth avenue S E a n d Ninth street, early today. The body was first discovered b y a teamster, who was driving past the park on h i s w a y t o work. He first s a w a coat in the path leading to the little lake. He decided to investigate and a little further along the path he found a shoe and stocking. ' Then turning his eyes toward the lake the teamster saw the upturned face of an old man, a few feet from the shore. The police were notified by the Bay- mond Fuel company, and two officers took the body from the water and noti- field Coroner Kistler, who ordered the body removed to the county morgue. When the body was first f o u n d no one could identify it, and it was not until several hours had elapsed that any one came to the morgue. But news of the suicide spread rapidly and C. J. Schroeder, an expressman at 2201 Twenty-first avenue S, w h o w a s worried over Weyhrauch's disappearance, called at the morgue. He identified the body as that of his friend and said the old man had intended to leave the city. Tuesday evening Weyhrauch packed his .trunk and hired Schroeder to take it £0 the Union station. He did not say to what town he was going, and Schroeder left him there with his bag- gage. Later Weyhrauch's son, August Weyhrauch, Jr., claimed the remains. He said he could offer no explanation of his father's suicide. The father left home Tuesday evening without telling anyone, and the police were asked to look for him. Nothings was heard of him until the discovery of his body today. Weyhrauch was 70 years old and was in good health. For several years he had been living with his son and was usually of a happy disposition. Genuine worth is quickly recognized and rewarded; that's why Pickwick Bye i s " t h e popular drink of particu- lar people." Minneapolis and St. Paul foundry- men, who are united with the foundry- men of the United States in the Na- tional Foundrymen's association, are to join in a lire-or-death struggle with the Natinoal Foundry Workers' union. The fight on the pari of the employers will be for the individual contract and the open shop all over the United States. 4 This action was decided on at a meeting of the Twin City Foundry- men's association last night. The asso- ciation has eighteen members in the two cities and seventeen will stand to- gether in the fight. One St. Paul shop, it is believed, will sign the scale. Tomorrow representatives of the Twin. City association will leave for Chicago, where a special convention of the Na- tional Foundrymen's association will be held in the Auditorium hotel. Whole Country Interested. The special convention was called by the executive council of the national association after a three days' meet- ing in Detroit last week. Represen- tatives of the larger cities already af- fected were present and others not yet affected were represented. A finish fight is recommended by the executive council. Between 400 and 500 dele- gates will be present at the Chicago meeting and there is no doubt that ac- tion taken there will support the deci- sion of the executive council. Practically all the large cities where any amount of iron work is done are affected by the strike of the foundry workers. The strike was called by the union leaders, it is said, in the hope of ealilng off the National association sup- port from the employers of Philadel- phia, who have been fighting for some time. A general strike all over the country was not intended. The employ- ers have felt for some time that a decisive struggle with the union was at hand, and now that the opportunity pre- sents itself, a fight to the finish w i l l be waged. Will Stand Together. At the meeting of the Twin City as- sociation last night the employers bound themselves to stand together. They will endeavor to secure and train new mem. Members will assist one another in car- ing for their work, and a general co- operative fight will be waged in Minne* apolis and St. Paul. The men are still meeting daily. Pick- ets are out and shops are closely watched. The men refuse to say anything about the national contest, which the employers are wagnfg. -' No Telephone Change. Little change is evident in the tele- phone strike. The men are maintaining pickets and say they have all outside work stopped. The companies say they have new men at work and that wagon crews are out all over town. This is de- nied b y t h e strikers. The men also claim that the Texas strike breakers have been, induced to leave town, but "the companv representatives s a y t h e oppo- site. The companies are working to- gether in search of new men, and aTe maintaining their service. FUB CANTBETOUCHED GOVERNOR HAS NO MONET FOR REWARDS OR EXTRADITION EX- PENSES UNDER NEW CODE. MAX STURM'S. BEATS f- SHOCKS HIS FRIENDS 'Max A* Sturm, Minneapolis -repre- sentative of the St. Paul Dispatch, died sudenly at his home, 23 Eleventh street 8, yesterday. Altho* Mr. Sturm had not been feel- ing well for several days, it was not thought that his condition was serious, and he attended to his regular work. Recently he had been doing jury duty in addition to his newspaper work, and yesterday noon he went home intending to rest during the remainder of the dayv He went to his room without eating luncheon a n d a f e w minutes later Mrs. Sturm heard him .breathing hard. She went to his room and found him uncon- scious and he died a few minutes later. An 'autopsy was performed yesterday afternoon by Coroner J. M. Kistler and Drs. C. Nootnagel and C. H. Westin, which showed that death was due to heart failure. He had for several years ben troubled with fainting spells. Mr. Sturm was 35 years old and came to Minneapolis from Chicago six yeatri ago. H e a t once engaged in newspaper advertising work, and Was in that busi- ness at the time of his death. His pa- rents live in Chicago. Eli Sturm, a brother, arrived in Min- neapolis to day to take the remains to Chicago, where the funeral will take E lace.

Strong resolutions calling upon the county officials, particularly the county attorney and the sheriff, to enforce the Sunday laws relating t o t h e sale of liquor in the saloojjB at Kee- § an's lake, were adopted. These asso- lations intend to see that the author- ities do their duty. * Theodore Wirtn, superintendent of parks, gave the members an instruc- tive and practical talk x>n the care of trees, flowers, shrubs and lawns. Re- marks were also made by Judge John H. Steele, Fred B. Wright 'and others on the necessity of securing as mem- bers of the parkboard such citizens as were particularly interested in beauti- fying the city. The fitness of Francis M. Henry was particularly commended and enthusiastically received. WHEELOCK ONCE I MI1EAP0LITAN u VETERAN EDITOR IN EARLY DAYS WORKED IN ST.

Wheelock, the veteran edi- tor of the Pioneer Press, whose death is mourned by the entire state, at one time hoped to locate in St. Anthony, in which event his life and valuable serv- ices would have been devoted to Min- neapolis instead of St. Paul. The man- ner in which he was lost to this city is told by Charles M. Loring, who was an intimate friend of Mr. Wheelock for forty-six years. When Mr. Wheelock reached this part of the world he was without means. He could find no employment in St. Paul or vicinity, and at the suggestion of George Chowen, afterward register of deeds for Hennepin county, he and Mr. Chowen came to St. Anthony, where Mr. Chowen had the promise of a position in the general store of Taft, Beynolds & Co. When the young men reached the village the position was still open. Mr. Chowen had a little money, but young Wheelock was without means of any kind, and Mr. Chowen thereupon magnanimously offered the place to his friend, saying: "You need the place much more than I do and I want to look around a little more before settling down. Young Wheelock was duly grateful, and took the place. In the early days one of the staple articles of trade was whisky. I t w a s as much a part of the business to meas- ure out whisky as to deal in molasses and kerosene. The new clerk was not long in discovering that the duties of a clerk in a general store ran contrary to his well-established principles. He went at once to one of the proprietors and asked: "Am I supposed to deal out this stuff?" pointing to the barrels of liquor. "Why, certainly. You'll have to do the same as the rest of the clerks," re- plied the proprietor, turning to the new clerk in surprise. "Then I can't stay here," declared Wheelock. and he put on his coat and returned to St. Paul. h Where Fashion Reigns NOTED EDITOR'S FUNERAL Service in Honor of J. A. Wheelock to Be Held Saturday.

' ""The 1904 report says that outside employment was •found for about 14,508, while the 1905 report says 14,907 found outside employment, and the undated leaflet says that 50,000 found outside employment during the year. Again we ask, which of these figures are cor- rect! . . Only Three Colonies. "The 1904 report says 1,800 girls M assed thru twenty one rescue homes. 6e 1905 report says 5,730 girls passed thru twenty-five rescue homes, and the f ndated leaflet says 2,635 girls passed hru twenty-one rescue homes. How are these figures to T>e r e c o n c i l e d ? "I find that, somehow, most people have gained the impression that the army h a s a large number of farm col- onies, and that thousands of poor peo- ple from the slums have been trans- ferred to them. There are at present but three colonies, one each in Ohio, Colorado and California, having a total of but 530 people, including men, wo- toien and children. These colonists have become Self-supporting, and bevond question their lot has been improved by removal from the citv, but it would be interesting to know what; percentage of them, while living in the city, had •been recipients of either public or pri- vate relief, or even dwellers in what the Salvation Army calls the 'slums ' "Unfortunately, the statistics which the army presents throw absolutely no light on the important question as to how far incompetent persons can be helped by the farm colonv plan. The celebrated 'first colonist' at Fort Amity had household goods and a team, and presumably was possessed of 'fair in- telligence and determination.' The farm colony scheme is a good thing in itself, but it cannot fairly be claimed that it solves tho problem of povertv. "The Salvation Army maintains at present about se vent v-f our lodging- houses in our various cities, furnishing beds at the rate of 10 and 15 cents a night. In its appeals for funds, the army speaks of 'lodging thousands of the homeless ' and most people gain the impression that such lodgings are, in part at least, a charity, and that the accommodations furnished are much superior to those of the ordinary cheap lodging-house, run for private profit. Finds Defects in Houses. "Reliable information from a large number of typical American cities indi- cates that the system of cheap lodging houses conducted by the army have all the defects of the poorest of the pri- vately owned lodging houses and few, if any, advantages over them. I t i s significant that recently in an eastern city a Salvation Army lodging house was closed when the local board of health' began to enforce the sanitary ordinances, while from widely separated cities come accounts of specific glaring evils. "Why does the army maintain this vast system of lodging houses? Pri- vately owned lodging houses in the same neighborhoods, paying the same 1 rentals, having the same or greater cost of maintenance, better, furnished, just as sanitary, and charging the same rate, are known to pay good dividends. Why does the army tacitlv represent its lodg- ing houses as a charity? It does not exert any moral influence over the men in its lodging houses, and can certainly do religious work as well or better among those who live in privately owned lodgings. Three Corporations. "Probably it is not generally known that the work of the Salvation Army in the United States is carried on thru three distinct corporations. The Salva- tion Army proper was incorporated in the United States in 1899 a s a ' religious and charitable organization' by five of its paid offieials by special act of the legislature o f N e w York, exempting it from taxation. "The Reliance Trading company was incorporated in 1902 in New Jersey, and is authorized to issue capital stock to the amount of $300,000. This corpora- tion owns and publishes the War Cry, the official gazette of the Army in the United States; does the printing for the various departments of the Army; man- ufactures fountain pens, makes uni- forms, bonnets and hats for the Army officers and soldiers: conducts an insur- ance department; owns the three farm colonies of the Army in the United States; and carries on other business enterprises. The stock of the Reliance Trading company pays dividends and is controlled by the Army. "In 1903 the Salvation Army Indus- trial Homes company was incorporated under the laws of the state of New Jer- sey, 8nd now owns and operates a large number of industrial homes and lodging- houses in the United States. This cor- poration is authorized to isue capital stock to the amount of $500,000. Like the Reliance Trading companj', it is au- thorized to carrv on many different kinds of busines for profit. ^'This corporation owns and operates all of the Salvation Armv industrial homes in North America. It is stated on the authoritv of Brigadier Parker, an official of the Salvation Army in New York city, that the common stock pay^s, 'at least 6 percent.' When asked if it is true that 12 per cent was re- ceived on the preferred stock, he re- plied that he did not think it paid that much. Gain lor Several. "It appears to be rather difficult to find out just who constitutes the real board of directors of the Salvation Ar- my Industrial Homes company, but i t i s probable that at least some of those who are actively interested in promot- ing the work of the corporation re- ceived personal profit from its success- ful operation bv virtue of the fact that they held preferred stock in the corpor- ation. "To the minds of many experienced charitable workers, the value and neces- sity for the army's extensive Christmas dinner work is more than doubtful. One serious criticism of the army's method of giving Christmas dinners to families in their homes is the fact that the army does not co-operate with other organizations, and much duplication re- sults. , '' T&e army has £iven the public the impression that the money contributed to the Christmas dinner fund is used ex- clusively for that purpose and for the direct relief of the poor during the win- ter. However, the 1904 statement of the Christmas and relief fund in a typical city shows that about $1,000 out or $2,800 received was expended for such items as printing, stationery, postage, express charges and maintenance of de- partments. No Financial Report. "It is exceedingly difficult to secure satisfactory information about the financial affairs of the Salvation Army, "The balance sheet and statement of accounts at national headquarters at New York city are gone over each vear by a certified public accountant," but this only guarantees that the footing and the balances are correct.
