FAKE AUCTION HOUSESThe Present Administration Permit*

The term "fake auction house" isfamiliar to newspaper readers, but it isprobable that few have a clear idea whatthese establishments for the shearing ofsuckers are. A member of the fraternitywho, of course, is unwillingto give up hisname, consented to-day to give a littleinsight into the business. Said he:

"During previous administrations noauction stores of this style were allowedto run, except a month before Christmas.Under the present regime they run theyear through. They have in general fromhalf a dozen to a dozen 'cappers' or'boosters' as we call them working aroundall day catching the suckers. If theycannot get them into the auction shop theyare steered to the gambling houses.The manne rof handling the greenhorns

Is something like this: After they arebrought into the house one of the 'boost-ers' begins to bid on a watch. He turnsto the ignoramus and says: 'I want toget that watch. You start in and bidcheap and help me out.' The man inno-cently says: 'All right, I'll help you.'The bidding proceeds merrily with the as-sistance of the tenderfoot, until it reacheseight or ten dollars. At this point thesucker's bid is taken. He says, 'Why, Idon't want the watch.' 'Can't help it,' isthe rejoinder. 'You bid it up too highfor me.' "

THIS IS A PUZZLEFrans Anderson's Strange Deten-

HE'S IN THE COLLEGE HOSPITAL

Doesn't Know "Why He la Kept orHow He Warn Taken

There.

Two weeks ago Alfred Engdahl, straightfrcm old Sweden, lost his chum, Frans An-derson, In New York. The two had ar-rived in the western metropolis on thebig Cunarder, the Campania, and with thecontents of the steerage had been setashore at Ellis island.

There was much bustle and confusion,and while Engdahl and Anderson weregetting their railway tickets they becameseparated, and since then neither hasseen the other. At first Engdahl did notworry, for both were bound for Minneapo-lis, and to the same place in Minneapolisas well, and they would get the sametrain.

Still he looked around carefully all overthe island and made inquiries, but hischum had disappeared as completely as ifhe had jumped into New York bay. Eng-dahl was not much alarmed even then, asit was quite possible in the excitement tomiss a train, and he felt confident thatAnderson would turn up in Minneapolisat the home of August Magnusson, 1123Lincoln street NE, which was the des-tination of both.

In time Engdahl reached a haven amongfriends In this city, but day after day howaited with impatience and alarm forhis companion.

Anderson did not come and the casewas getting very mysterious until Fri-day when a letter was received fromhim. It was welcome, for it showed thatAnderson was at least alive although themystery, if anything, was heightened bywhat he writes.

It appears that Anderson is at theLong Islard college hospital, but he statesin his letter that he does not know howhe came there or why he is detained. Hewrites that he is perfectly well and hisletter is pronounced by Engdahl to bewritten in Anderson's usual handwritingand style.

Anderson's friends argue that if Ander-son is well he should not be in a hos-pital and certainly not in a college hos-pital. They fear he is wanted for dis-section, vivisection or for experiments orsomething equally dreadful which theirimagination up, for ita anenigma to them that a well and sane manshould be confined in any kind of a hos-pital. Yet, if he was in duress how couldhe write and mail a letter?

THEY ARE A BAD PAIRMILWAUKEE DEPOT ARRESTS

Story of Their Daring Escape From

The woman in man's clothing, arrestedFriday at the Milwaukee station by de-tectives, and her companion, who is herhusband, prove to be two much-wantedcriminals. The man is William Plum-mer, who is under a five-year sentence tothe lowa penitentiary for robbing a cro-cery store in Sioux City. He escapedfrom the Wodbury county jail aided byhis daring wife. The woman has told herwhole story to the police, and the twoare. being held for Sheriff Jackson ofSioux City, who will be in Minneapolisto-night. The story of Plummer's escapefrom prison is told in the following dis-patch from Sioux City:

William Plummet-, alias Johnson, a sen-tenced prisoner who was captured in Minne-apolis last night in company with his wife,who was dreased in boy's clothing, made hisescape through the cleverness of the wife.June 10 Plumnier case came up in the dis-trict court. He was charged with robbery,having been captured by John Cogan and£ioux City policemen an hour after he hadrifled Cogan's grocery.

The evidence was against him and he wassentenced to five years in the penitentiarywith the understanding he was to be paroledat the end of one year. His wife had beenrefused admittance to the Jail, but aftersentence had been passed she succeeded Insoftening Jailor Kraig's heart. Securing ad-mittance she slipped a revolver to her hus-band, and two hours later, when Kraig wastaking Plummer from the bathroom, he wassuddenly confronted with the weapon. Plum-mer made a dash for the door, firing twice,and escaped.

He was traced the next day with blood-hounds, but all clews were lost. He will begiven an additional sentence for shooting.He is considered a dangerous crook.

The woman says that as soon as sheenabled her husband to escape, the twoprocured a liveryrig and started across thecountry. The night was dark. They ranagainst a barbed wire fence. The horseswere badly cut and they themselves wereinjured. They abandoned the team andset out afoot, walking about seven milesbefore daybreak. During the day they re-mained concealed in tall grass in a field.It was then that the husband cut her hairand they hit upon the idea of a disguise.Attired as a boy, the woman went back toSioux City and was not recognized. Shegot another team and joined her husband.They drove to Mankato and there tradedtheir worn-out outfit for a new on* and3rove to Minneapolis, arriving Thursday.

Vllter Company of Milwaukee Startsan Important Proceeding.

Milwaukee, Wis., June 24.—A temporaryinjunction restraining the striking ma-chinists from interfering in any way withthe operation of its machine shop was ob-tained by the Vilter Manufactur-ing company.

Paving Operations.

SAY NOTHING IS TO BE DONE

But Some SnirKeatibnM an to Meant of[ Evudiuii- the Difficulty Are

Made.

The membere of the, city council are ex-ceedingly disappointed over the disastrousending of the efforts to put the city in th*>way of doing a liberal amount of streetpaving this year. It Is an unfortunate6ituation, they say, but all agree that thereis nothing to do but to accept the adverseopinion of the Boston attorneys as finalso far as this year's operations are con-cerned. The general Judgment is thatthe proper course for the council now is toget last winter's act authorizing the bondissue before the supreme court at the nextterm of court in order to get a decisionbefore the beginning of paving operationsnext year. it is suggested that an at-tempt be maie to induce the court to takethe matter up immediately, but inasmuchas the court will adiourn for the sum-mer in a few days, this Is thought to beout of the question. The court went outof Its way once to do Minneapolis a la-vor of the kind in cuestion and then inits haste handed down a decision that itfound necessary upon later and more ma-ture consideration to reverse. It wouldhardly care to repeat the experience,especially in a question involving the con-stitutionality of a legislative act wherethe interests of but a single city are con-cerned.

Lefflelature Might Act.It would also be possible for the legis-

lature at its adjourned session next win-ter to fix the matter up. Possibly a re-peal of the six months' clause in the actwould be sufficient. The Duluth delega-tion insisted upon this clause and saidit would defeat the measure if the clausewas not included. The delegation claimedto have some good local reason for mak-ing the point. It is possible that by nextwinter the Duluth men might be in adifferent frame of mind, and in that easeit is thought the act would stand thefire of the constitutional lawyers.

One member of the Hennepin delega-tion, a lawyer of note, declared to-daythat he regarded the point made by theBoston attorneys as well taken. The ad-dition of the six-months' clause em-phasized the suggestion of special legis-lation too strongly, he thought.

Another Way Out.It has also been suggested that the city

council ignore the Boston attornies' opin-ion, and the bond buyers as well, and takeup the issue in whole or part with themoney to the sinking fund. ControllerRogers declares, however, that this can'tbe done. The money in the sinking fundwill be needed for other purposes thisfall, he says, and besides, in his opinion,he would have no right to indorse official-ly such a proceeding, and without his in-dorsement it could not go.

Nothing will be done in the matter untilthe return to the city of Alderman Mer-rill, chairman of the ways and meanscommittee.

"Unfortunate" Says Tattle.

251=253=255 Nicollet Avenue.

TUTTLE WILL TALKWilling to Make Sworn Statements

Concerning A. M. I. Affairs.

HE FEELS DEEPLY WRONGED

His Salary Is in Arrears and theCompany Owes Him

for Stock.

C. R. Tuttle, manager of the defunctAmerican Mining Investment company,returned to the city yesterday from Chi-cago, and immediately gave out an inter-view in which he took the position thathe was a very much wronged individual.

This morning he sought Receiver A. H.Hall, and the two .had a long cosultation.Tuttle began by offering to furnish to thereceiver any information which wouldshed light upon the methods of businesstransacted by the companies with whichhe was connected, and to give to the re-ceiver the benefit of any knowledge hemight possess as to the various, proper-ties the several mining companies weresupposed to own.

After admitting the need of just suchinformation, Mr. Hall suggested that itwould be much better if Mr. Tuttle wouldmake his replies under oath, inasmuch asthe prevalent opinion was that there hadbeen fraud practiced in the management

'of the companies. Tuttle agreed to thiswithout demur, and this afternoon wrotea formal letter to Mr. Hall embodying hisoffer. This letter will be used beforeJudge Pond, in the district court, andupon the strength of it Mr. Hall will askto have a commissioner appointed t$ hearstatemen-ts and require testimony fromother people connected with the company,as well as Tuttle.

Tuttle himself, in conversation with the.receiver, admitted that the only propertyof value in any of the four companies wasthat of the Queen Bee, owning claims inJelm, Wyo., which gave evidence of orein paying quantities.

A Phoenix Corporation.

A new corporation has been organized,'known as the Jelm-Curlew Mining com-pany, which.has for its purpose the merg-ing of the four old companies into the newone by an exchange of stock. The oldstock is to be paid in to the Jelm-Curlewcompany, and the latter company is togive its own stock in exchange at par, theold stock going in at the price paid for it.The Jelm-Curlew has been capitalized at$500,000, under the South Dakota laws, andwill be able to absorb the $565,000,000 ofstock outstanding of the Kettle Curlew,Queen Bee, Boundary Camp and UnionConsolidated. The new company is offi-cered by persons connected with theschemes which have become so notoriousby reason of the difficulties encounteredby the American Mining Investment com-pany, but they assert that they are act-ing entirely in the interest of the stock-holders, and only wish to preserve theproperties. W. F. Stockdill, president ofthe Jelm-Curlew company, in discussing

the failure of the American company, saidthat he believed in the honesty of bothTuttle and Hancock.

Mr. Tuttle declares that he has nothingto fear from the most searching investiga-tion, and he wishes the public to under-stand that he is now here and here hewill remain until he succeeds in giving theauthorities every bit of information inhis possession. Said he:

Personally I have not a dollar left In theworld, and the defunct company owes me$1,200 salary and $9,000 for stock turned in. Iwish to say that the affairs of the AmericanMining and Investment company were con-ducted with absolute honesty and that thereis not the slightest foundation l%r the out-rageous charges that have been made againstme. "We were simply unfortunate in nothaving money enough to carry pur schemesthrough. . Had we been left alone for anotheryear we would have been able to show ourpeople that their stock had risen two or threetimes in value. We were hampered with hardtimes in the month of May, however, and be-ing unable to secure more money we had todo what many others have done before us.fail, if we had been successful, we wouldhave been good fellows. As it is-^well, nomatter.

The St. Paul convention committee of theModern Woodmen of America and the St.Paul members of the order are wonderingjust where the committee stands financially.According to a statement made by the chair-man, H. A. Munroe, $5,000 was raised by theWoodmen themselves, the city council ap-

I-ropriated $2,000 and the business men of thecity contributed between $4,000. end $5,000.This brought the available fund to about $12,---000, to which should be added about $2,000from other sources, making in all about$14,000. Out of this a statement of the prin-cipal expenses made by Mr. Munro includesthe following items: Prizes to teams andbands, $3,000; street illuminaticrs, $2,500;parade and grand stand, $500; headquartersand parlors, $500; printing, J400; Auditoriumand hulls, $700; music, $1,000; souvenirs, $100;carriages $250. These items foot up to a lit-tle over $9,000, leaving a balance' of over$5,000 which, it is said, has not us yet beeuaccounted for.

The discontented Woodmen admit tbat thecommittee probably has vcucbers showingwhere the rest of the coin went, bui theyfeel that they are entitled to krow moreabout it than they do at present.
