The New Ordinance Not En-
tirely Acceptable to Tom
Lowry.

During the past few months numer-
Gus poor and neglected wives have APP
piled to County Attorney Egan to have
their husbands punished under the new
law which makes it a misdemeanOr for
a married man to willfully refuse to
provide, shelter, food or clothing for his
family. The crime, if it may be called
a crime. is punishable by one years i'm
prisonment or fine. When the county
attorney tells these complaining women
that the only thing he can do is to have
their worthless husbands fined or sent
to prison, they usually weaken and say:
well, | don't want you to do that. 1t
will only make things worse" But the
county's legal guardian can do nothing
else.
This new law is considered entirely
impracticable by the legal profession.
An able lawyer, in conversation with a
GLOBE reporter yesterday, said:
''Ihe question as to whether or not
that law can be practically enforced is
an important one. If man willfully
refuses to work and support his wife and
children what is the best thing to do to
him? If you send him to prison his
wife can get no support from him. In
that case the burden Of supporting not
only the wife and children, but the
worthless husband, falls upon the pub
lie. Is a man who simply sits down
ana does nothing guilty of crime? His
OffenSe is only an act Of omission, and
can such all act be considered a crime?
Here in Ramsey county women who
have no silk dresses and women who are
actually in want of the necessities of
life are rushing to the county attorney
for redress under this new law. What
shall he done? Shall the law be
sustained? Is it unconstitutional? All
good people pray that it may be en-
forced, but how can it be done?"

Before the State Railroad
Commissioners.
Can a Company Vaeate a Line
and Still Retain It's Old
Charter.

George N. Baxter, district attorney
for the United States, commenced two
very important suits in the circuit court
Yesterday. One suit is of the utmost
Importance to the grain shippers on the
Red river of the north in general and
the Northern Pacific railroad company
in particular. The other case is inter-
esting to all those interested in upper
Mississippi river navigation.
The Duluth 81 Manitoba and the
Northern Pacific railroad companies
are the defendants in the first suit. The
complaint states that the railroad bridge
erected across the Red river at Grand
Forks by the Duluth & Manitoba COM
pany does not meet the require
ments of the act of Congress authorizing
its construction. Congress authorized
the erection of the bridge upon cOndi-
ton that it be a pivot drawbridge and
that the bottom chord of the draw should
be three feet or more above the plane Of
the flood of 1882. When the bridge was
constructed the bottom chord of the
draw was made only one-tenth of foot
above the specified plane. AS the
draw-fender at its upstream end is on a
level with the bottom chord OF the draw,
it would be an impossibility to operate
the draw in case the water should
rise to the plane of the flood Of
1882. Inability to operate the draw
would impede river navigation between
Fargo and Winnipeg. The United
States government petitions the court
to order the bridge removed at once,
and to issue an injunction restraining
its reconstruction except on plans to
comply with the conditions set forth in
the congressional act authorizing its
erection. The bridge and the tracks
upon it are at present leased by the
Northern Pacific company. The court
is also petitioned to issue an injunction
restraining tine Northern Pacific COM
pany from operating a railroad across
the bridge until it is rebuilt according
to plans approved by the government.
The second suit is against the st. Paul
Sanitation company. The charge is
that the defendant corporation is dump
ing garbage into the low-water channel
of the Mississippi at several points
about two miles below the city of st.
Paul. 1t is asserted that unless this
practice is soon stopped, navigation for
at least fifty miles south of ST. Paul
will be INSTRUCTED. The United States
asks for a permanent injunction re-
straining the sanitation company from
dumping its garbage into the Missis-
sippi. fe

COL. BARR SAYS Nay.
The Ordinance Not Acceptable
West Side Facilities,

Col. Barr was asked by reporter
Yesterday whether or not the street rail-
way company would accept the condi-
tons embodied in the ordinance pre-
scented to the council by the committee
on streets on the evening before. Col.
Barr was closeted with Mr.. Lowry in
Mil n eapolis in the morning, and the
street car magnate visited st. Paul in
the afternoon, so probably Col. Barr
had his instructions direct. His reply
TO the reporter was:
1--WE shall not accept, at least the way
the ordinance now reads. The street
railway company does not propose to
accept any conditions which will
jeopardize its present franchise"
Col. Barr also had an interview with
Aid. Minea. of the Sixth ward, relating
to transit for that ward. Col. Barr stated
that the railway company would ask a
bonus of S25, ZOO per mile for whatever
distance of track was built beyond the
city limits on South Robert street. The
West side people are inclined to think
the company'S demands are eXorbitant,
especially when an electric motor will
not be built on Mohawk avenue until
the population has been increased. Un-
til such time, it is understood that a
horse car line will be built, provided.
however, that block of land be do
mated to the company for terminal IA
cilities.

A GAY FORGER.
Charged With Raising Money and

There were thirty prisoners before
the police judge yesterday morning.
E. L. Hefter was arraigned by Sergeant
Zirkelback Oh charge of forgery.
Several days ago he purchased gaso-
line stove at hardware store on West
Third street, owned by John Foos,
ordering it sent to IL Phalen street and
presenting III payment check on the
First National bank for S42.35, purport-
ing to have been issued by the st. Paul
q Pacific Coal and Iron company. After
deducting $3.50 from the check, the
price of the purchase, Mr.. Zoos paid the
purchaser $3.50 in change and he de-
parted. The deiveryman found no
such number as II Phalen street, and it
was then ascertained that the check
was a forgery. Sergeant Zickelbach
found Hefter in an Eagle street house
of prostitution, where it is said he has
squandered over $500 Oh one of the i'll
mates during the past two weeks. The
culprit sailed up before Judge Burr in a
fine broadcloth suit and pleaded not
guilty. The police desired to investi-
gate the fellows record and had the
case continued until Saturday, with bail

RAILROAD PROBLEMS.
Two Weighty Questions Before
the State Commissioners.

Can railroad company, when it
ceases to operate line, continue to
hold its franchise
This important question is now before
the state railroad commissioners, and is
raised by E. S. Tempt eton, of Penn
sylvania, in complaint against the St.
Paul, Minneapolis and Manitoba rail
road company.
The. facts of the case are simple:
Some time prior to 1883 the Red River
railroad company was incorporated to
build road from Breckenridge to
GAINESVILLE. The Manitoba afterwards
acquired the road. In 1883 the Manitoba
company built road from Brecken-
ridge to Moorhead, and thereupon aban-
doned the Breckenridge and Barnes
vile line, claiming that it was no longer
necessary-thati it did not pay to Oper-
ate. Mr.. Templeton desires the rail-
road commissioners to issue an order
requiring the restoration of traffic on
the Breckenridge and GAINESVILLE rail-
way.
Evidence in the case was yesterday
taken before Commissioners Gibbs and
Becker. William Templeton and F.
Peterson. city attorney of GAINESVILLE,
supported the application before the
commission, and the Manitoba inter
ests were represented by Col. w. 2.
Clough, second vice president, and M.
d. Grover. An adjournment was taken
until Friday, when the question will be
argued before the commissioners.
A DISCRIMINATION QUESTION.
John Krauer, of Madison Lake, is
quite indignant with the Minneapolis s.
St. Louis Railway company. and yes
terday aired his grievance before the
railroad and warehouse commissioners.
The ST. Louis road allowed a business
rival of Mr.. Kraner'S to put in side
track, two and a half miles from
Madison Lake, for the handling of
wood. Mr.. Kramer applied to the COM
pany to be.allowed the use OF the tack,
which was granted by Mr.. Truesdale,
but two weeks afterwards revoked.
When Mr. Truesdale granted permits
sion he had forgotten that the track had
been laid at the sole expense of Kra-
ner's rival. Mr.. Kramer complains
that he suffered considerable loss by
the action of the road authorities. hay
ing, between the granting of permission
to use the side and its revocation, made
contract for 500 cords of wood to be
delivered at this point, and which he
had been unable to set aside. The com
missioners will consider the question of
allowing damages, or whether permits
sion must be give, upon payment, for
the use of the side track.
