Stewart Gamble, of Gamble & Ludwig— H u h ' The stret is pretty well invaded already.

O. B. Clark, agent of the A d a m s E x ­press Company—Hennepin avenue from ourth to Second street should have been just a s prominent a business s treet aa Nicollet from ourth to Second, had it not been for this c lass of people. It w a s all right at one t ime, before they came in and I I claim owners of property have killed it. !

Thomas Voegeli of Voegel i Bros.—I think the policy should be to concentrate such people in a district which will not affect the general reputation of the bus i ­ness inst i tut ions which cater to the better c lass of people Henenpin avenue is de ­fined ult imately to become a s t i e e t cater ­ing to the higher class of trade and a g e n ­eral movement of the red l ight district to any s t i e e t of this kind m u s t affect it u n - i favorably. j

F C Johnson.presldent John C. Johnson Co—Goodness ! Don't head off w h a t is coming. Head off w h a t is already here. |

J. S. Porteous, manager of the Lumber E x c h a n g e and owner of the Edison Bui ld­ing—It is an outrage that anyth ing of the kind should bo pe imit ted , especially now that there are s igns of an awaken ing from the deadness which Henepin avenue has known for several years . This is one of the finest s treets in the city. Important improvements have been considered for Hennepin avenue and such a thing a s this is likely to g ive them a serious setback. J

W. L. Badger, agent for Henepin A v e - > nue Pi opert ies—We don't w a n t them there. It is a very poor proposition to a l ­low it It would be a great mis take The evil ought to be kept down south w i t h the rest of this c lass of people.

I found him in a pitiful s tate . T h a Idea came to m e to try to g e t him pardoned. The mayor, the chief of the prison, the prison doctor all told me that I w a s un­dertaking an impossibil ity. According to the laws of Baden, tney said, dying or not dying, a prisoner must serve one-half of his sentence before ideas of pardon could be a d \ a n c e d or dreamt of. I did not let this disconcert me and saw the hereditary grand duke of Baden. The grand duke told me to apply to the prime minister, Von Reck. In a week I had his pardon. H e w a s too w e a k to be removed from the prison hospital, but the knowledge that I had obtained his pardon did more to re­v ive him than all the medicine. A s soon as able to walk and travel he w a s handed over t o me, and I had to send him under an escort, se lected by the Baden jail offi­cials, to Bremen, where he w a s handed over to a captain of a North German Llovd liner, who obtained a receipt from the N e w York authorit ies in proof of his* ar­rival on American soil. H i s pardon w a s obtained on the condition that he never again se t h is foot on German soil.

DINNER TO DANIEL SULLY

City Salesmen Entertain the Actor at Annual Function.

About forty members of the Minneapolis City Salesmen's associat ion at tended the third annual dinner to Daniel Sullv, the actor, at the International cafe this noon.

For three years i t has been the custom of the associat ion to g ive the actor a n informal dinner, the custom originating, not from any particular bus iness or pro­fessional associations—for Mr. Sully has never been a sa lesman and none of the Salesmen's associat ion have ever been a c ­tors—but from an acquaintance made by several of the assoc iat ion members three years ago.

A t the dinner this noon informal speeches were made by Mr. Sully. Rev. G. L. Morrill and m a n y of the assoc iat ion members w h o were called on.
