The Fraud in Building the Dis
tillery Unearthed, and Joslyn
and Pratt Must Settle.
In the case of the st. Paul Distilling
company against John r. JoSlyn, ct al,
Judge Brill has filed an order deciding,
that, as questions of fact. he finds that
in 1888 the company was organized, at
the instance of George w. Hicks, who
subscribed 500, GOO, and others S150,OOO to
the capital stock. At about the time Of
the organization, Hicks and defendants,
Joslyn and Pratt, who lived at Elmira,
n. Y, entered into fraudu-
lent conspiracy to cheat the dis
tillery company, by which it
was agreed between them, that the con-
tract for construction of the building
should be taken in the name of Joslyn
for the benefit Of Hlcks-Pratt to fur
niSh the money to Hicks for consrruc-
ton, and JOslyn and Pratt to have por-
ton of the profits made by Hicks. In
furtherapce of the scheme Joslyn put in
bid, at the instance of Hicks, to con-
struct the building for 1926, 1000. Pratt
put in bid at larger sum, and Hicks
had still other bias made at larger sums.
Thereupon Hicks, who was familiar with
the work of constructing diStillerieS,
falsely, and for the purpose of defraud-
ing the plaintiff, represented the bid of
JoSlyn as reasonable and fair, and rec
commended that it be accepted. The
other stockholders and directors were
not familiar with the work, and not
knowing the interest of Hicks, and re-
lying upon his represe NATIONS, made
the contract for construction at the sum
OF S222,00 JOslyn was an attorney at
law, and did not take the contract for
himself. but made the bid and took
the contract in pursuance of the con-
spiracy. Hicks was the real party
taking the contract. as JOslyn & Pratt
then and there knew, and which the
diStillery company did not know. The
diStillery was built at a cost not eX-
ceeding $4,000. Hicks, Joslvn and
Pratt knowing it could be constructed
at sum not exceeding that price when
the bid was made. Hicks made profit
of $4,000, of which $1,000 was given to
JoSlyn and like sum to Pratt. pursu-
ant to an agreement between them.
When the work was completed
Hicks represented to the plain
tiff and the other stockholders that he
had paid out about 100000 on said con-
Struction. which was not true-save that
he had paid S4l.000, which had been ad-
vanced to him by Joslyn & Pratt. At
the direction OF Hicks. stock was made
out to JOslyn for $4,000. to the wife of
Hicks $4,000, and to Pratt S6O,O The
distillery company paid Joslyn 1922 900,
which was turned over to Hicks. As
conclusion of law. it is determined that
the company is entitled to recover from
Joslyn and Pratt the sum of $50, 900.

money is to be used in the removal of
bars and rocks, and to close bayous, in
fact, to put the river in the best
possible condition without reference to
locks or dams of any sort or description.
This will. however, greatly facilitate
the approaches of more elaborate works.
The following is from the report of
Maj. Charles j. Allen regarding the i'm
provements necessary to making the
river navigable between the cities:
An improvement to meet the demands
of an extensive river traffic, by proyid-
ing for the passage at low as we'll as
high stages OF the river of steamers
with barges drawing four feet of water,
can be effected by the removal of shoals
and contraction.of the channel by means
of wing and closing dams to point
Z. 400 feet above the mouth of Minnehaha
creek; thence to the Minneapolis land
ings, by means of locks and dams to
overcome the strong current existing in
the Mississippi above the mouth of the
creek. 10 carry the improvement to
the landing just below the Washington
avenue bridge will require two locks
and dams of lifts, and located as fol-
lows:
Lock and dam No. 1. of 81 feet lift,
about 2,400 feet above the mouth of
Minnehaha creek.
Lock and dam No. 2, of 151S feet lift,
at point miles and 4.5lO feet above
Lock No. 1, or 1, 100 feet below Meeker's-
Island.
If navigation is to be carried above
the Washington avenue bridge, that
bridge and the Northern Pacific railroad
bridge Immediately above it must be
provided with draws.
Before the construction Of locks is
commenced a survey in detail, including
numerous borings, must be made at
each OF the abOve-named sites.
The locks must be of capacity to ad
init OF the passage of steamers with
barges OF the size that now go through
the locks OF the Des Moines Rapids
canal. The lock chambers should not
pc less than 80 feet in width and $50 feet
III length between centers of quOin
posts. The locks should be fur
nlshed with upper-guard gates,
and the Iock-walls should be car
RED up to at least three feet above
the highest water mark and proper
toned so as to admit Of the locks bein g
operated at all stages of the river. The
locks should be lighted by the electric
light and the gates and wickets operated
by machinery. for all of which the power
OF the stream may be utilized. Each
dam should be provided with sluice or
roll-way to admit of the passage of
saw-logs: The dams may be built Of
crib-work filled with stone, but they
should be Joined into masonry abut-
ments and be securely founded upon
the bed of the river, and be provided
with aprons on their downstream side
OF from sixty to seventy feet in length
to secure the dams against the under
mining effects OF floods.

vile with such facilities and accommo-
dations as the service requires"
THE MAJORITY GOES.
The opinion and decision of the ma
jority, however, will be the one that will
go" unless the courts are invoked, and
while Commissioners Williams and
Gibbs admit in their decision that the
principly of allowing railroad to make
such a departure is wrong they hold
that in this particular case it's all right,
and hence they decline TO attempt to
force the Manitoba to resume opera
tions on the discarded strip of railway.
After stating the facts of the case, over
which there was practically no division
of opinion, Mess rs. Williams and Gibbs
say:
We now come to the consideration of
the merits of the case. 1t is claimed on
the part of the petitioner that railroad
cannot abandon any portion of its road
under any circumstances. This rule is
laid down in some of the text books, and
is to be found in some of the decisions
of our courts. If this rule is to be con-
sldered the correct one, no change in a
line of railroad once located and put i'll
operation could be made, however nee
essary and desirable such change might
be for the best interests of the general
public.
A change in the line of a road once
established and put in operation by a
railroad company. or the abandonment
OF some portion of road, can only be
permitted when such change or aban-
dOnment causes no serious detriment to
any considerable number of people and
the interests of the public have not suf-
fered thereby.
The respondent company has two
lines of roads running northwest from
St. Paul parallel to each other, and the
distance between these two lines north
OF breckenridge is not more than fifteen
or twenty miles at any point, and meet
at MOorhead. Between these lines is
the abandoned line between Barnesville
and Breckenridge. The country along
the abandoned line is sparsely settled,
and it cannot be said that
REASONABLE RAILWAY ACCoMAiODA-
TIONS
are not now afforded to the people liv-
ing i'll the territory of the abandoned
line, and there are no stations or VII
lagos along said line having any popu.
lation to speak of.
Having considered all the facts and
circumstances in the case we do not
think this case wherein the railway
company should be compelled to con-
tinue the operation of its line of road
between BarneSvllle and Breckenridge.
1t is quite likely that the petitioner,
E. s. Templeton, will carry the matter
into the courts, and at least settle what
is undoubtedly very important point
to many places located like Mansion
and Atherton on branch roads that are
apt to fall behind in freight receipts.

Capt. j. @. Reno Says Naviga-
ton Need Not be Imneded.

ton Need Not be Impeded.
Henry Wizards latest scheme. as told
by the GLOBE yesterday, has created
no little comment in Minneapolis. Some
look upon it as visionary scheme,
while others hail it with delight. The
question In the minds of many is
whether there is really $4,000 horse
power going to waste at Meeker island.
In view of the differing opln-
ions GLOBE reporter called
upon Capt. j. G. Reno last evening, he
being a man who understands rivers
and their capabilities as well, probably.
as any one in Minneapolis.
Yes, l have read of Wizards
scheme" replied the captain in re-
Spouse to an inquiry, "and 1 think it
a grand plan. provided. Of course, that
it can be carried out"
''Do you think there is power enough
at Meeker island to do all that Willard
speaks of doing?"
II am not an engineer, and cannot
determine exactly what the river is ca
pable of doing at that point, but there
is. without doubt, good deal of power
there. These men who have estimated
it probably know what they are talking
about.
What would be the effect upon navi-
cation of the adoption of this PLAN"
"That's the point. You knew Pm a
sticker for the head Of navigation being
at Minneapolis. l know that this city
can be made the head of navigation by
means Of little improvement of the
river and the building of a dam at
Meeker island. AS far as my influence
goes will always insist that
whenever a dam is put in at
Meeker Island, it shall provided with
locks. Such dam would be an aid to
navigation and, so far as l can see,
would in no way interfere with the util-
ization of the whole amount of water
power. would like to see the scheme
carried out. | would also like to see
the utility of the water power extended
by means of the locks and canals so
that grinding and saving and other
work, as well as the operation of an
electric plant, could be done by it. It's
a grand scheme and hope that it may
be carried outs
