What a Guest Cost j. III. Haverly,
the Minstrel Manager, in Two
Days at st. Paul.
A smooth-tongued rascal who had by
some means acquainted himself with J.
II. Haverly's London, England, ac-
quaintances, among them j. B. Van
Dyke, the great railroad contractor,
proceeded Sunday to put up job on the
veteran, and not only had a gay old time
at the colonel's expense, but finally,
when thoroughly soaked and maud
linz had the nerve to call him uncle and
ask him to keep him out of jail He
convinced the colonel first that he was
the eldest son George of Mr.. Van Dyke,
asked for temporary help until cable
message would relieve him, touched the
generous Haverly for preliminary $50,
registered himself at the Merchants
hotel as Haverly's guest, went out and
shipped a rolling cargo of light wine,
came back with friends to several meals,
ordered basket or so Of champagne at
each, and continued to whoop 1t up in
general until. finally, smashing a $500
mirror in one of the finest saloons, he
was arrested and brought to the hotel
for Identification. Then 1t was for the
first time that Haverly's attention was
again called to him. 1t seemed he had
given 1t out that he was the coloneTs
nephew, and the very gall of it pre-
vented suspicion. When bis skatorial acts
being committed away from the house,
did not attract the attention of Mr..
Haverly, who supposed he was some
where about awaiting his fathers an.
swer from London. The scamp was
promptly sent up, and investigation
found hotel bill charged to HaverlY of
S22.50, which, added to the loan of $50,
made $3.50, and broken mirror, if
tackled on, would be just S462.50 added
to j. II. Haverly's personal expense ac-
count this week.

AGAINST BERRY NOW.
The Park Superintendent's Son
Said to Be Making Too Much
Money

The Park superintendent Son
Said to Be Making Too Much
Money.
The charge of nepotism has been
shifted from the school board to the
park board. Supt. Berry is the man
who is held responsible under this latest
story. He and his son are said to be
making a good thing out or the park
system and the loose business methods
of the park board. The story was
printed by an evening paper last night
in three columns. The ground Of the
charge seems to be about this:
Supt. Berry has charge of all the men
who do work on the city parks. He
employs his son Alphonse as time
keeper. AlphOnse keeps the time of all
the teamsterS who are at work with
teams watering trees and doing every
thing around the parks that has to be
done with team. The charge is made
that Alphonse Berry OWNS six Of the
twelve teams that have been at work
for the park board this season. The
transfers say that young Berry owns
the six teams. They say that he pays
them salary for driving the teams.
They enter the teams on the park board
pay roll and they draw the money for
IiO WOIh Ol Ui6 IedlllS anu JuTu III
over to Alphonze Berry. Supt. Berry
says that his son OWNS but one team,
and that the other five of the six in
question are owned by Mrs. White.
Young Berry says the same thing. Mrs.
White says she owns four of the teams
in dispute. and that young Berry owns
the other two. Barring the contradic-
tory stories there is nothing SO very bad
in all this. Then it is SAID that these
teams that young Berry is said to own
are kept at work when all the other
teams are laid off; that they are given
time for Sundays, rainy days and all;
that they work right along water
ing trees after big rain storms,
when there is no need OF it; that
the alleged Berry teams have been
given time on the books of the board
when they were doing other work for
the board. There is no rule against
Berry's son owning teams and letting
them work for the board, but it looks
bad If those teams are kept at work
when others are laid off, and if they are
allowed to draw money for time that
has been spent In working for other
parties. The board will be called upon
to Investigate this matter at the meet
ing to-day. Commissioners Haugan and
Northrop say that, if Mr.. Berry says it
is all right, they will take his word
for it.

LOOKING FOR WITNESSES.
San Francisco Men Who Want to
Beat a Libel suit.

Edgar Whittier and A. II. Kohn were
in Minneapolis yesterday looking up
evidence to use in criminal libel case
that will come on for trial in San Fran
cisco this month. Whittier is member
of the paint and oil firm of Whittier,
Fuller & Co., of San Francisco. Kohn
Is his attorney. The suit is brought
against Whittier by w. P. Fuller, son
of Whittier's former partner. Whit
tier and the elder Fuller once
made an agreement that whichever
should die first would turn over
his interest in the business to the
other for S1,250,O00. Fuller died and
his son, becoming convinced that his
fathers share in the business was worth
more than 81, $4,000, bought up the in
terest of the other heirs and then re-
fused to sell to Whittier. Whittier was
angry. Then some tales connecting the
name of young Fuller with Miss ken
dali, trained nurse who attended his
father in the last days of his illness.
Fuller was on his way to Europe when
those stories were first published in
some sensational weekly papers in
Frisco. He returned and had Miss
Kendall summoned to disprove them.
1t is said that the attorney who then
acted for Whittier confessed that if was
all conspiracy. Fuller has now begun
an action against Whittier for criminal
libel. Miss Kendall is said to have
lived in Minneapolis at one time, and
Whittier and his attorney have come on
here to get evidence that Is expected TO
impeach her testimony.

SINGLE TAKERS RESOLVE.
Hereafter They VIII Not Give
Their Opponents the Best oft.

Their Opponents the Best of 1t.
The enthusiastic members of the
Single Tax league gathered in the read
ing room of the West hotel last night
and made arrangements for the winter
campaign. Several changes in the
constitution were discussed. 1t is
proposed to increase the number
OF vice presidents to six, and
provide that either the president or one
OF the vice presidents shall preside
at every meeting. Under that rule, if
made, the chair will be debarred from
the pleasure Of speaking himself. He
Will, however, have the privilege of
calling upon all of the speakers. Then
1t is likely that there will be a change
in the method of procedure at the
meetings. Heretofore the invited
speaker, single taXer or anti, has always
had the first hearing. 1t is proposed
that the meeting shall always be opened
by single tax man, after whom the
speaker of the evening will he given
chance. Then the discussion will be-
come general. This year all of the
meetings will not be held in the center
of the city. One meeting in each month
will be held in the heart of the city, and
the other three will be scattered all
over the city. In that way the league
hopes to get hold of listeners who would
never come down town. H. Ellingston,
of Farlbault, wants to work for the
league in the southern part of the state,
but he will receive letter telling him
that the league has no funds. The
treasurer's report showed a balance of
$3.50 in the treasury. The league will
meet every Tuesday from now Oil to

LONG e KEGS AGAIN.
Court House Commissioners Take
Steps to Settle With Them,


Steps to Settle With Them.
Before the court house commissioners
got down to work yesterday morning
they spent several minutes congratulate.
ing John Swift on his safe return from
the old country, the land of his birth.
Then they heard from the treasurer that
on Oct. there was balance of S115,-
1855. The budget of bills was passed
and ordered paid, and the amount left
on hand is about $4,000.
The commissioners have grown so
accustomed to having the bill of Long
u KEGS brought up that they would de-
clare the proceedings of any meeting
at which it was not mentioned Irregular
and void. 1t came up again yesterday
in the form Of this communication:
1--WE regret that circumstances are
such that we are compelled to urge the
payment of our claim for services at
this time. for we feel that we are being
unjustly treated by this refusal to pay
us, according to the terms of the con-
tract as understood by us. We fully
believe it was the intention of the en-
tire board, with possibly one exception,
that this contract was meant and in
tended to be made just as we have con-
strued 1t, and we can hardly believe the
board will refuse to carry out this
agreement as intended, simply because
their attorney held that the contract
was not made as had been supposed"
o. /. Erickson moved that it be re-
ferred to the finance committee, and no
one said nay. 1t is hoped that that
committee will find some way TO settle
that vexatious question. Then the
board discussed the progress of the
building. All work on the city side was
ordered stopped. The county side must
be pushed from now OH. 1t hopes to get
that part under the roof by spring and
pretty nearly complete it by the follow
Ing winter. Bids on the roof truss
work will be called for at once. They
will be opened Dec. l. To satisfy John
Gle Laittre, the contract when let will
have clause in it binding the con-
tractor to hold the board blameless if he
should be damaged by the cessation of
work by order of the board.

ANOTHER CRUSADE.
Law and Order People Have EN-
ployed Detectives.


The Hennepin grand jury will meet
again the 18th. The law and order peo-
pie are preparing to turn the city over
then. They are going out with net
after all sorts of offenders against the
law. They are in earnest, too. They
have been working quietly, and have
subscribed money to pay for the detec-
ton of all law-breakers. The first rush
will be directed against the gambling
houses. 1t is claimed that no less than
ten gambling houses are running now,
in spite of the recent order from
the police department directing them
to close. Then they will begin to
looking after the buildings in which
apartments are rented to people who
use them for immoral purposes. From
there they will proceed to the fight on
the regular houses of prostitution. The
saloons will come last, but the attack
on them will be none the less fierce. All
of them who keep open Oh Sunday and
who allow the side doors to remain
open after the prescribed closing hour
in the evening will be brought to the
attention of the grand jury. One of the
local detective agencies, Quinlan's it is
said, has been authorized to begin look
ing up evidence against all these peO-
pie. The law and order have the
money to pay for it, and they say that
they will make it hot fight.

who looks with fayoring eye upon the

Saltwater i'll turning the parochial
schools over to the public school depart

has been preached in Minneapolis, but
it has never received serious attention.
He looks upon the scheme as a good
one, provided the Catholics are allowed
to retain their own teachers in their
schools. Personally, he thinks that all
schools should be under the control of
the state.
