EXPENSES CUT DOWN.
Closing Testimony in the Ameri-
can Investigation.

Closing Testimony in the Ameri-
can investigation.
The investigation of the affairs of the
American Building and Loan associa-
ton was completed yesterday. John B..
Atwater, of the law firm of johnson &
Atwater, was questioned, and an effort
was made to have him state who it
was that was to have been ap-
pointed receiver of the association, but
they did not succeed in finding out any,
thing from him, although letter was
produced which Mr.. Atwater had writ
ten to nephew in California, which
had been published in one of the papers
of that state. The letter simply stated
that the writer had been informed that
the governor was about to appoint re-
celver for the company and wind up its
affairs.
Thomas E. Bishop. the present secre-
tary of the association, was called, and
presented facts and figures to show the
changes that have been made in the
management of its affairs. He made a
sworn statement that the expenses
had been cut down between Oct. %
last and jan some $4,000. He said
that as far as he knew, the cashier had
never given any bonds. He then went
into particulars in regard to the cutting
down of salaries. Some of the officers
had been abolished altogether, and
parties who had been drawing salaries
as officers and directors. but now the
salaries in the latter position had been
abolished altogether.
He was questioned closely in the mat
ter of the purchase of stock at auction
by officers, and stated that the practice
had been recently stopped altogether.
One of the largest savings in expenses
was the canceling of contracts with
agents, six of them having been re-
Gently settled with for S13,45O. He
stated that the total reduction since
Oct. % had been on a basis of S3S,S05
per annum,

CEDAR AVENUE BRIDGE.
That and the Boulevard Will
Probably Be Located.

The board of county commissioners
will hold a regular meeting Monday;
and they were all at the court house
yesterday in a preliminary meeting, and
talked over several important questions
that are to come before them tomorrow.
The Cedar avenue bridge matter will
be discussed. The citizens in the
immediate vicinity of the proposed i'm
provement have been stirring them
selves getting the $4,000 bonds to in
demnify the county against any DAM
ages that might ensue. it seems that
there are but three parties who are
liable to object to the Improvements,
and it is probable that the bridge will
be located. The Minnetonka boulevard
will be also discussed. although no
action can be taken until the route is
clear of snow and the commissioners
can go over the remaining five miles
that are yet to be reviewed on the upper
end. The opinion is freely expressed,
however. that the road will go through
some time in the spring.

COUNCIL 1919, II. A.
The Initial Entertainments a
Pleasant Social Success.

Pleasant Social Success.
Minneapolis Council 1O49. Royal Ar
canum, gave its initial entertainment
at its new hall, corner of Twentieth and
Dupont avenues northeast, last Wednes-
day evening. and it proved all that its
most sanguine well-wisherS could have
hoped in point of attendance, financial
prosperity and success. The details of
the society's first entertainment were
intrusted to committee of four
of the working members. G. E.
Prince, j. e. Richards, DIR. P. NJ.
Hall and P. B. Christian, and the
f1attering success is greatly due to the
efforts of these gentlemen. The exer-
cises of the evening opened with reci-
tations and musical solos. The banquet
followed, after which social hop was
enjoyed. The lodge was instituted May
Z, 1889, with twenty-seven charter mem
berS. A. +. Bordwell was elected first
regent and p. i. Christian past regent.
Since It's organization five new mem
bers have been added, and several more
applicants are on the carpet, anXiously
waiting to be instructed and receive
their share of V. NJ, etc. The present
quarters have been leased for five
years, and the council will deliberately
decorate and furnish the parlors.

THE HALL INV EsTIGATloN.
The Secretary Before the Board
of Trade Committee.

of Trade Committee.
There was a secret tribunal in coun-
Gil assembled at the Office of E. j.
Phelps at 10 o'clock yesterday morning.
1t had gathered there to look into the
testimony in regard to the charges made
against Secretary Hall. of the board of
trade. The specific charges were that
he took commissions from parties for
whom he obtained sites for manufac-
turing plants, which were gained for
the parties through the influence of the
board, and that he asked commissions
of from l to 10 per cent for the capital
stock which was to be raised by the
board for an inducement to have
plants locate in Minneapolis. That he
received commissions on bonds raised
by the board in several specified cases.
to further the manufacturing interests
of the city; and further, that he dis
eliminated as to his advice to the parties
interested as to the property upon which
proposed plants should be located.
The committee appointed for the in
vestigation was composed of Judge
Isaac Atwater, j. T. Wyman, E. J.
Phelps, S. c. Gale, Judge Fish, A. B.
Barton and J. NJ. Bartlett, who have
been busy for some time past in secur-
ing evidence in the matter. The wit
nesseS before the committee were A. NJ.
Ridgway. Capt. j. c. Reno and Hector
Baxter.
Mr.. Hall, it is said made general
denial. although 1t is claimed that he
admitted having received $500 from the
owner of the Parker station land. on
which the Robinson & Morn car works
were located. He is also credited with
having acknowledged some of the de-
tails of the testimony, giving as an ex-
cuse the fact that the salary of 81 200 a
year for the position he occupies was
very small.
The committee will probably present
its report on Monday morning, at which
time there will be majority and mi
nority report handed in. The majority
Of the members of the committee think,
however, that the report will be
unanimous. At least the report will
be final one way or the other, as the
committee was appointed with full
power to act.

AN AUsPICIoUs START.
A Large Audience Present at the
Normanna Fair OPENING.


Normanna Fair Opening.
If the opening of the Normanna fair
is an indication of the future success of
the enterprise, the society has great
cause to congratulate itself upon its eff
forts. The spacious hall was entirely
filled and, indeed, the exhibition was
in every way worthy of attendance. In
the center of the hall stood large
pyramid, upon the sides of which were
displayed a number of articles
which have been donated by the
various firms. At the end of this
pyramid stood what was called ''the
sparkling fountain" and from which a
beautiful stream of wine flowed which
was sold to the audience. At the front
OF the hall stands grand piano, valued
at 500. which was presented by Nj. A.
Paulson. This piano will be the first
prize in the drawing, which is to occur
Feb. 10. The second prize is exposed
from one side of the pyramid and at
tracts much attention. 1t is all elabor-
ate lady's toilet cabinet and was pre-
scented by S. E. Olson & Co. A cooking
range and heating stove constitute the
third and fourth prizes and were pre-
scented by Melby IL F0ss, who also do
h"tcu a HduuSOiliO utuIOUill SGls WiilCH 10
the fifth prize. Beside these are numer-
Gus other articles which will be drawn
by those who attend. The Swedish union
flag ornaments the front of the stage
the appearance of which is greatly
aided by Chinese lanterns and banners
of the various societies. The sides of
the hall are devoted to booths, wheels
of fortune, etc. Every evening at s
O'Clock the NOrmanna brigade OF bust
ness amazOns will go through a drill
upon the floor of the hall each evening
bearing a banner inscribed with the
name of the firm which the young lady
represents. The young ladies are well
drilled, and the exhibition will be one
OF the most attractive cues of the fair.

that he has done the best he could to

ordinary children who attend the public
schools that their names should never

all stirred up over the unforeseen
which has happened, which for down.
right deviltry and simon pure deceit
beats anything ever before attempted
by the young Americans who make
their teachers earn their salaries. At
the examination recently held in the
high school sixteen of the scholars
passed perfect examination. Some
of them had not been as at
tentive as they might have
been during the term, but
on examination day they got there just
the same. Perhaps if there hadn't been
quite so many perfect papers suspicion
would not have been created. An ex-
animation of the papers submitted by
the students plainly showed that the
questions to which answers were re-
quired had been carefully looked
up. Then it was discovered
that certain pupil had a
brother who was employed
in printing Office. where the question
slips were being printed. and he had
carried off number of proofs of the
questions. OF course the entire class
was willing to stand in with the scholar
who had the questions before the ex-
animation came off, but only six
teen were taken into confidence,
and those sixteen had their answers
exactly alike. Now there is war, and
the teachers would like to expel every
body from school who was connected
with the affair, but they are "afraid it
would injure the good name of the
school,"

derStood. BE says the system of appro-
priating certain amount of money to
be used for specific purpose, and then
allowing the several wards to expend
more than the appropriations farce. At
present all but very few of the ward
sidewalk funds are bankrupt. When
the appropriations were made there
was big show of retrenchment and re-
form. The KIND of retrenchment which
appropriation paper-S100 and then
eXpends $500 in actual cash, is not
exactly the kind of retrenchment and re-
form the taxpayers were promised when
the present councilmen were elected.
The comptroller says emphatically that
such practice is not only pernicious.
but also illegal. Ii Mr.. Calderwood
will prevent the continuance of this
illegal expenditure, he will receive the
support of the citizens generally, but
the councilmen will howl.
