PARKS BY PURCHASE.
The Commissioners Will Confer
With the City Attorney and
TraaSuraP


The board of park commissioners yes
terday afternoon appointed committee
of three to confer with the city attor-
ney, and report at the next meeting, as
to the ACCESSIBILITY of taking steps to re-
fund assessments made for park lands
which the recent decision of the supreme
court declared void. They were also in
structed to confer with the city comp
troller upon the urgency OF taking steps
to secure parks for the city by purchase.
Commissioners Wedge, Eller and Schiff-
man were appointed by the president to
constitute the committee. Warrants
drawn July 81 for Summit avenue
boulevard, S1,553.3O; Como park, ST.
224.52; pay roll for July, 1925, were
passed by the board.
A communication was read from the
citizens living in the vicinity Of Milford
street, between Marion and Woodbridge
streets, asking that the board pay at
tention to tract of land one and half
acres in extent, situated on Milford
street, which was donated to the city as
a park and has never been improved,
and owing to its being two feet below
the grade of the surrounding property,
il becomes filed with water and sewer
age and is becoming a nuisance. Inc
matter was referred to the city council.
Accounts, including pay rolls for July
amounting to s3,358.e7, and for August,
50, 4.92, were passed by the board.
The committee appointed to confer
with the city attorney on the question
of refunding park assessments will
meet at the office of the attorney next
Wednesday afternoon at 2.

THE EIGHT-HOURDAY.
Probability That the Question OF
Paw Has Already Been Settled.

There is a strong probability of an
interesting time in the council meeting
Tuesday over the question of the short
hour day. Acting Mayor Cullen has
vetoed the Gehan resolution defining
the McNamee eight-hOur resolution, but
whether the council sustains or over
rides that veto the interesting fact re-
mains. The original resolution of Aid.
McNamee, which provides for eight
hours as a days work, was signed by
Mayor Smith and fixes the hours of
labor. The amount to be paid has al
ready been fixed by ordinance, and that
ordinance was never repealed. The
Kahn ordinance in 1886 fixed Sl.50 as the
minimum pay for day. The Ryan
ordinance in 1857 fixed the pay as fol-
lows: December to May, SO per week,
and May to December. $40 per week.
1t is now held that as the McNamee
resolution fixes the hours at 8, and, as
the Ryan ordinance is still in
effect, it cuts no figure whatever
the veto is sustained or not. City At
torney Holman has given it as his Opin-
ion that the pay is still regulated by the
Ryan ordinance, and that the last reSo-
luton is simply an Interpretation of
something which in itself is interpreted.
City Engineer Rundlett said he would
return the pay roll showing how many
days each man had worked and allow
the council to settle the matter of pay.
In the meantime Aid. McNamee and
his friends are jubilant over the Situa-
ton, which they regard as complete

THE INDIANS ARE PEACEABLE
And Fish by Thousands Are Melted
in Lake of the Woods.

And Fish by Thousands Are Melted
in Lake Of the Woods.
Col. Edwards, collector of customs.
returned yesterday from tour of the
Canadian frontier along the Rainy river
and in the Lake of the Woods region,
where he went to inspect the supports
of entry. He said the Indians at Garden
island are peaceful. and there is no
prospect of trouble over the fisheries
there There were about thirty Indians
at Garden island when he got there,
most of whom were from Canada. The
Baltimore Packing company and Will
lam ripple & Co. are catching fish as
usual.
While Col. Edwards was at Garden
island two of the pound nets were
raised, which contained, as near as he
could guess, about 1900 pounds Of fish.
Most of them were sturgeon, with few
white fish and pickerel. The fish, when
caught, are dressed and stored in a
barge, where they are artificially
frozen. When a barge is loaded it is
towed by a tug across the lake, through
channel that meanderS among the
numerous islands, to Rat Portage,
sixty-five miles distant The barge will
hold fiye5 carloads. The afish remain in
it, in a frozen condition, until cold
weather, when they are taken out and
shipped by rail.
j. f. Locke, president, and A. I. LIE
Claire, manager OF the Baltimore Pack
ing company, yesterday interviewed
Col. Edwards with a view of getting
permission to ship their fish from Rat
Portage back into the United States
without having to pay duty. Col. Ed
wards and Deputy Storey explained the
law to them and Informed them that
such an arrangement can be made by
application to the collectors of the ports.
together with the approval OF the
American consul at Winnipeg. Col.
Edwards said that, IN his opinion, it
would take many years to deplete the
fisheries in the Lake of the Woods.
Mr.. LIE Claire said that the best bass
fishing is in the region of the lake with
in the Canadian waters, among the
countless islands. He also said that he
thought Garden island is not part Of
the Indian reservation, and that they
had right to fish in all the navigable
waters within the territory of the United
States without special permission from
the government. He considered the
water about Garden island navigable
and such as Is included i'll the general
fishing territory. Col. Edwards said he
was not prepared to say that the island
is not within the Indian reservation,
and he does not know whether any one
has right to fish there. The Indians
told him that they would give no further
trouble over the fishing at Garden
island.

FINISHING THE COUNT
The Last Inhabitants Of st.
Paul Slowly but Surely
Coming In.
Special Agent Wardle Bring
ing the Recount Toward
an End. -
A New Phase Developed in
the Eight-Hour Day
Question.
The Grand Opera House Adj
mirsd by a Few Invited
Guests. g

Special Agent WardIe closed the cen
Sus headquarters at 5 o'clock yesterday.
At that time Pol districts, out of the 341,
were reported completed. OF the remain
ing 80; some Of them are not expected
90 complete their districts for two or
three days. In the meantime all re-
ports Of unenumerated people are
being investigated. Mr.. Wardle has a
big stack OF postal cards and letters
from people who say they have not been
enumerated or have not seen an emu
merator Some of these complaints
cannot be Investigated until all the dis
tricts are reported completed. Once
that is done, Mr. WardIe and his staff
will devote themselves entirely to the
Investigation of alleged nOn-enumerated
individuals. The schedules will be first
overhauled If the persons name is
not found there, all enumerator will be
furnished with the address, and
he will have to ascertain if the
information supplied the census
Office is correct. If it is, the person will
be enumerated. In some of the COM
plants Mr.. Wardle has investigated,
the person making the complaint has
been found to be already enumerated.
OF course, there were others who had
not been enumerated, and it is very inn
portant where any doubt exists citizens
should at once communicate with the
citizens committee.
Enumerators whose districts include
the railroad freight yards report a lively
time. They are expected to visit every
cabooSe and engine, as we'll as every
engine house, AS large number of men
have their legal abodes in these places.
Many men who have to cover hotels are
also having lively time in securingthe
names of travelling men whose legal
residences are in this city.
Mr.. Wardle expects all the districts
to be completed early next week. The
enumerators will not then have done
with the census, as all cases OF abSen-
tees OF misses are to be referred to them
and investigated. Mr.. Wardle says: II
shall hold the enumeratorS strictly to
their Caths, and shall feel at liberty to
call upon them atany time in the future
should the completion of their districts
demand it,"
The census Office will be open from
10 a. m. to p. m. Citizens, however,
who have not been enumerated are ex-
pected to first communicate with the
citizens committee, whose Office is in
the cOnncii chamber at the city hall.

PLAUDITs BY THE PUBLIC
At the Illumination of the New
Grand-AuctiOn Sale OF Seats.

AT the Illumination of the New
Grand-AuctiOn Sale OF Seats.
The first performance at Lifts new
opera house practically took place last
evening, but the occasion was not pub
lie one. Manager Lift issued invitations
during the week to the elite of st. Paul
to be present at the theater last even
ing, when the new house would be
thrown open for their inspection and an
auction held for the choice of seats for
the inau gural night. A large number
OF ladies and gentlemen were present,
and expressed their admiration OF the
artistic appearance of the new
house. The soft tints of the gold
and cream decoration of the plaster and
stucco work blend tremendously with
the deep blue upholstery OF the chairs.
and are shaded by the pale sea green
draperies. The effect Of the electric
lights upon the auditorium is simply
charming. A border of forty-one in
candescent lights runs around the
proscenium arch, and the sounding
board and ceiling above are pierced
with 22S globes. a handsome brass chan
delier dependent from the roof has
ninety-one lights, and the balconies and
galleries are lit with 290. The
six boxes are lit by hand
some brass brackets, each carrying
three lights. The oak chairs, finished
with deep blue velvet seats and backs,
reflect in shimering way the soft glow
from the lights. and altogether the eff
feet is one to please the most fastidlous.
During the time the visitors inspected
the building, an excellent orchestra of
eighteen pieces discoursed music under
the direction of L. P. Brooke.
At $50 Col. ]. q. Davidson walked
upon the stage, which was set as draw
ing room, and announced that he had
much pleasure in saying few words in
connection with the magnificent temple
of art that Mr.. Lift had erected, solely
by his own efforts, and without the aid
of any outside syndicate or hackers.
The citizens of st. Paul should be proud
of so beautiful building. Col. David
son then gave the particulars as to the
various firms who have been employed
in the building and decoration of the
theater, mention Of whom has been
made in the GLOBE. Particular stress
was laid by Col. Davidson the seven
teen exits the theater possesses, leading
on to all sides of the theater, and the
system of automatic sprinklers and
stand, pipes with which the house is
provided. An asbestos curtain, divid-
ing the stage from the auditorium,
which will be used constantly, was also
referred to by the colonel.
The auction sale of choice of seats for
the opening on Monday night then took
place, Col. Davidson acting as auction
eer. The first bid for seat started at
IS premium and was quickly run
up to $25, at which figure
it was knocked down amidst loud
applause to Rufus G. Hartranft, of
Philadelphia, who selected seat IS in
the fifth row of the parquette, with the
stipulation that he be allowed to retain

THE SMELL HAS FLOWN.
Under the New Dispensation the
AzOtine Plant Emits No Odor.

Under the New Dispensation the
Azotine Plant Enits No Odor.
A party of gentlemen comprising
members of the city council. a commit
tee of Fifth ward citizens and newspaper
representatives. proceeded yesterday to
the AZotine company's plant in upper
Bohemia, in response to an invitation
from the management to examine the
alterations just completed. Among
those present from the Fifth ward were
the gentlemen who have been most
earnest in their efforts to secure a
change in the method of disposing of
dead animals and garbage. Walter lfe
was spokesman for the people of the
Fifth, and the committee on streets
ford Livingston, John Gehan and
about half the membership of the
council were scattered about the
various departments of the plant. r.
G. Wiselogel. the expert from New
York city, under whose supervision the
alterations have been made, and Man.
ager Thomas Caulfield, conducted the
visitors through the establishment from
the point at which the dead horses and
other animals are skinned and thrown
into rendering watts, to where heaps of
dry fertilizer represent all that remains
after the process is completed. The
place was found to be scrupulously clean
and apart from the local smell bound to
exist in an institution of the kind, the
visitor might have imagined himself in
well-conducted gas house. The
watts in which the animals are
boiled are sealed in such man
ner as to insure the emission of
the least possible odor, andsevery de-
partment shows perfection of arrange
ment which could scarcely be improved
on. The cause of the bad smells of
which complaints have SO frequently
been made was found to be that the
gases thrown off from the contents of
the watts were conducted formerly
through pipe to the tall smokestack
and thence made their escape to the
open air and the nostrils of the Fifth
ward citizens. The escape of gas will.

AN ADDED MYSTERY.
The Belief Is Current That
Horizons Child Was Not
Drowned,
Though No Additional Facts
in Proof Have Come to
Light.
A st. Paul Man Killed in a
Cable Smash up at
Chicago.
Two Tough Characters Of
Burglarious Aspect in
Limbo.

The case of Walter F. Horton, set for
hearing in the municipal court yeSter-
day morning, had attracted more than
time the case was called. The pro-
ceedings were opened by the filing of
the complaint against Horton by County
Attorney Egan, in which the prisoner
is charged with having caused the
death of Ellen M. Horton by drowning
her. Following the reading of the COM
plant w. w. Erwin arose, as counsel
for the accused, and, turning to his
client, said: Horton, this complaint
charges you with having murdered your
wife. You plead not guilty" Mr..
Erwin then asked the court for con-
tinuance in the case. stating that he had
agreed on such continuance with the
attorney for the state. County Attorney
Egan said that a continuance was de-
sired that an important witness might
be secured. The hearing was accord
ingly set for next Thursday at 2 p. m.
As time passes and new features con-
tinue to develop in the Horton case. the
opinion gains ground that the missing
child has not been drowned, and was
not in the boat at the time that it cap
sized. A sharp lookout has been kept
at all points down the river for the body
which. however, has not been seen. AS
remarked yesterday by one of the men
who was near the scene of the drown
Ing, the fact that the body has not been
found proves nothing, as it may have
been caught in some manner to prevent
its rising to the surface, yet the opinion
is freely expressed among those who
know Horton that the child is still
alive and IN the keeping of an acco M
plice of the prisoner. Rumors which
may be groundIess or the reverse con-
meet the man Rode, principal witness
against Horton, with the case in a
light different to that in which he now
figures. An attempt made Yesterday to
run down story that this Rodi, ali as
Six-Fingered Jack, was familiar with
the whereabouts of the child proved
futile. No apparent foundation for such
theory could be discovered. still the
theory exists, and on the ground that
there must be fire where smoke exists.
There may yet be found some reason
for the rumOrs.
The young woman from whom Hor-
ton received the letter read by the at
tornev for the state as showing motive
for a crime is now in the city, and
seems utterly Frustrated by the condI-
ton of affairs, Her acquaintance with
Horton, notwithstanding circumstances
which look damaging to her character,
is said by her friends to have been OF
the most innocent character, and 1T is
stated on her behalf by those who know
her well that she had not even suSpl-
ciOn of mis- being married man.
