APRIL FOOLED.
A Brief List of Victims This
Spring

The boys at the engine house on Third
street, near First avenue south, cropped
out plenty of fun for themselves in a
quiet way yesterday. Bright and early
Billie Cole, of Chemical No. l, went out
and screwed three scent pieces to the
sidewalk. After half: hundred or
more persons had tried to pick them up,
one of the firemen put couple of
''newsies'' onto the scheme, and when
Billie saw the kids take screwdriverS
and pry up the coins and pocket them
he was wild. Soon there was another
nickel screwed down, and up to noon
precisely 1,793 persons, many of them
women. endeavored to carry off the
coin. There was large crowd watch
ing the sport, and every person who bit
was greeted with prolonged laughter.
Ex-City Detective Fairbairn drove in
from his farm with what he supposed
was nice load of garden truck, but
when he went to sell it he found that
Mrs. Fairbairn had. as an April LIST
joke, removed all the delicacies and
substituted lot of kindling wood and
old potatoes.
z. Percy Weadon and two friends
were walking up Nicollet avenue about
2 O'Clock when a friend undertook to
have some fun at their expense. Call
ing "copper"" he pointed out the three
gentlemen and told the policeman that
they were dangerous confidence men.
The s'cop" called a detective, who shad-
owed the party for ly an hour be-
fore he found out who the gentlemen
were. The affair may ca use trouble for
the practical joker.

Substations in Bad Sanitary Con-
dition--Vale Baxter.
E. w. Mortimer, the newly elected
police commissioner. although not tax
ing his seat in the board until Monday
next, accepted an invitation to sit with
the board yesterday afternoon. There
was no business of any particular
Importance before the board, except to
listen to the report of one of the health
inspectors regarding the sanitary con-
dition of the subpOlice stations. The
report showed that the closets in the
North, South and East precincts were
in bad condition; that the rooms
were damp and poorly lighted, and
that the cell rooms in the north and
precincts were absolutely marvelS of
poor ventilation. The North side sta
ton WIS found to be in very bad condi-
ton owing to the OVERLOOKING of cess
pool, and will probably be abandoned
as soon as possible.
The board conferred police powers
OH three pound masters. and arranged
for general inspection of the uniforms
and equipments of the entire force next
Wednesday.
A resolution of thanks to retiring
Commissioner Baxter, speaking very
highly of him as a man and public
officer, was adopted and ordered spread
on the minutes of the board.

NOTES AND COMMENT.

The GLOBES apologies to the Even
ing Star. 1t appears that influential
paper is not actuated in its fierce war
fare against the unholy steal that has
been perpetrated by the legislature in
giving 1925 apiece to some six or eight
newspaper reporters OH daily papers, in
accordance with time-honored Gus
tom, by the leaving out in the cold
of its Y. NJ. &. A. reporter. That con-
scientious individual. with piety that
would have done credit to little Robert
Reed, some time ago declared he would
not take his "bit." and the Evening
Star is entitled to whatever glory would
be consistent as a return upon so small
q capital.
Some people, who are always jumping
at conclusions, have decided that base
ball is Objectionable because it encour-
ages gambling in the form of pool sell
ing. The natural conclusion to be
drawn from such a remonStrance as
that sent the city council by the Y. NJ.
{. AS, that the base ball management
is interested i'll some way with pool
selling. Bless the dear. good boys. the
management of the base ball team is
with 'em in the effort TO suppress pool
selling in connection with base ball.
Inc reason Is pldlll-pOOl ScillllS
does not lead any one to
patronize the game. On the
contrary, it induces people of a sportive
and speculative nature TO stay away,
and hang around the pool rooms down
town where they watch the games by
telegraphic reports and can bet their
money. Then there is Il chance that
some of the players may invest in pools,
and that their desire to win might cause
them to try to throw games. Such in
stances are rare, but have occurred, so
on the whole base ball managers do not
like pool selling.
1t is said that w. D. Washburn was
the other day in receipt of a telegram
from L. ID. Armour. of Chicago. which
read Something like unto this: ''How
would YOU like it if the Illinois legisla-
ture passes -four inspection bill to eX-
clude Minneapolis tiour?"

COUNCIL COMMITTEES.
Paying for Religious Services at
the WOrkhOuse.

Of all the council committees that met
yesterday afternoon, the workhouse
committee was the only one that felt
compelled to do any work. There was
some difference of opinion among men,
bers of the committe on the question
of religious privileges for the inmates
of the work house. Supt. West had
petitienod the council for an appro-
priatiOn of not more than $3.50. to be
used for providing weekly services for
the prisoners. The Secular society
sent remOnstrance to the committee.
paying of money by the state
for religious purposes of any kind was
contrary to the spirit of American insti-
buttons and the principles of good gov
eminent. They had no objection to
prisoners enjoying religious privileges
and hearing sermons and addresses, so
that the public treasury was not opened
to pay for the same, and even
offered to send member frequently
to address the inmates of the prison
free of charge. The committee didn't
seem to consider the petition at all. but
some of them were opposed on princi-
pie to paying out money for such pur-
poses.
The committee finally agreed to rec
Ommend the appropriation giving Supt.
West power to select the speaker, Sc
lecting different ones at different times,
so that Catholics, Scandinavians and
others may not feel that they are over
looked in making their selections.
There was another matter that in
terested the committee to considerable
extent, and that was the matter of pr J.
curing fuel for the workhouse. Some
time ago the council instructed the city
engineer to advertise for 500 cords of
mixed wood for the workbouse. and he
did so. John Norton, who has
contract to furnish the eity's
wood until October, objected in
a communication addressed to
the council. but bids were advertised
for and received, and as no attention
was paid to his protest Mr.. Martin put
in bid of his own as the easiest way
out of the difficulty, and when the bids
were opened yesterday he was declared
the successful bidder, and was awarded
contract for 400 cords of bass at 81. 35
per cord, and 100 cords of maple at s.
per cord.
The committees on public grounds and
buildings, gas. health and hospitals, and
printing, met and audited bills.
The paving committee audited bills
and annulled some paving ordered in
alleys near Second street south. The
ways and means committee failed to

Judge Lochren,s denial that he is 60
ing TO resign as district court Judge and

toba road is not quite as emphatic as
the citizens of Hennepin county would
like to hear.
Rev. ID. J. Burrell yesterday treated
Christian science crank with rudeneSS
that evidently frightened some Of the
orthodox pastors who had assembled
for the usual Monday morning mutual
admiration meeting. Brother Burrell
dealt with Christian science in the way
it should be treated.
The unexpected has happened, and
Ed Johnson. instead of holding out as
superior to the vast majority Of people,
yesterday signed the base ball ordinance.
Mr.. Johnson is at least with the major

meets on Monday next. Judge Mahoney
bound him over in $1,000, and he was
allowed to remain in the lookup over
night. The friends of the family
offered to raise the amount necessary
for his bond if the father desired, but as
the time is so short the boy will prob
ably be allowed to remain in the lock-
up until his case can be attended to.
No one seems to have the idea that
there was any intent to injure young
Peterson; his parents desired that there
should be no arrest or complaint, and
no one seems to know just why the boy
was arraigned on so serious charge.
1t is not generally believed that an in
dictment against the boy can be Sc
cured.
The victim Of the accident is resting
easily at the city hospital with good
chances for recovery, and it now APP
pears that the most serious result of
the sad affair will be his Disagreement.

Her home is valued at $1,000, and

Judge Young filed decision yester-
day afternoon in the case of Jonas
Guilford against the Western Union

PENDANT. Asa Guilford was the owner
of 3701z shares of the corporations
stocks, and in New York City, some
two years ago, lost the certificates of
the same, and was unable to regain
them. though he advertised and made
thorough search. However, he sold the
stock to his brother Jonas, who made a
demand upon the company that it issue
new stock. This the company was
willing to do, as the law provides. on
the condition that Mr.. Guilford would
give securities. This he refused to do,
and after trial before the judge it is
his decision that Guilford is entitled to
no relief. and that he must pay the
costs of the case.
