policeman at South ST. Paul.
Carl Blink, arrested Sunday night in
Il saloon at South st. Paul on charge
of an attempted assault with intent to

stealing the rings he had been selling,
and that then Gibbons attacked him
and beat him over the head with re-
Yolver; that he did not draw knife.
ChleI Gibbons stated that he was
called TO investigate report that man
was III the saloon selling rings. He told
the man to give them up, and also Mrs.
HesSe to give him the rings in her pos
session. She refused, and then the man
drew dirk and struck him. He hit the
man over the head with a revolver, and

not attempt to help the man, but en-
treated Gibbons not to kill him; and
thereup0n Gibbons called her vile
names, pointed the revolver at her, and
drove her out of the house. She claimed
to have four witnesses to prove il. The

County Commissioners Discussed
improvements for Public Build
fngS.

County Commissioners Discussed
improvements for Public Build
fngs.
At yesterdays meeting of the board
OF county commissioners communica-
ton was read from the board of control
which recommends material changes in
the county poor house and the city and
county hospital. 1t is estimated that
$4,000 will be required to make the
changes recommended. The capacity
OF the dining room is only forty, while
there are at present Seventy-three per-
sons to be accommodated. To enlarge
this would require an expenditure of
$1,000. To utilize the steam heating
apparatus in cooking food would require
improvements costing $500. 1t is
thought the laundry should be located
In the basement at a cost of 500. The
present method of lighting by means of
Kerosene lamps is considered danger
Gus, and it will cost 81, 800 to substitute
an electric plant. For the new build
ingS to the hospital now about
completed $1,000 worth of furni-
tnre will be needed. Laundry work,
which is now done by hand. will be
done by steam in the new building.
This change will necessitate the pur-
chase Uf new apparatus at a cost of
Sl.2O9. TO utilize steam for cooking
will require the purchase of $500 worth
of appliances. Many of these changes
have been repeatedly recommended by
grand juries. The board determined to
investigate the need OF the improve
mentS recommended, and in company
with the board of control will soon visit
the alnshouse and hospital.
The committee on public records was
authorized to expend sum not exceed
ing sos III having the United States
Judgment record copied and distracted
down to date. The claims of John l..
Townley and others for SO a day
Tor fees as triers in the Koran
case were discussed and the board de-
cided TO hereafter allow IS a day for
such services. These fees will here
after be paid by authority of the board,
instead Of upon the voucher of the
county auditor. The sheriff'S report
for Noyember,showed receipts, 81, 539.O5;
disbursements, S2,079; balance, $3.50.
The November report of the abstract
clerk showed total receipts to be 1921. 80.
The register of deeds collected in No
vember Sl,656,45, disbursed S1,2lS.25,
leaving balance OF S43S.20. An order
was drawn in favor of the board of con-
troll tor S2,712.S0, the county'S two-thirds
OF the expenses for November.

TO BE SEARCHING.
The Inquiry Into the Shepard
Building Disaster

The inquest on the bodies of the men
killed Friday last at the ruins of the
Third street fire was postponed yester-
day by Coroner Quinn until next Thurs
day morning at 10 o'clock. The coroner
stated that he desired to have the fullest
investigation made, and it was neces-
sary TO take time to prepare the evil
dence and collect particulars. The Jury
Will hear testimony as to the conStruc-
ton OF the buildings, and in conse-
quence very large number of witnesses
will be called. E. Z. BaSSfOrd, the archi-
tect, the contractors and the wOrkmen
employed in erecting the buildings will
all be called. In addition to the above
testimony of the building inspector, the
Chief OF the fire department and the
witnesses of the collapse of the wall
Will be put upon the stand.
Yesterday the funerals of Edward
Wilcox, Frank Suel and Foreman
KatritSki took place. The funeral of
Wilcox took place from st. Mary's
church under the auspices of the
Knights of Pythias, the services being
attended by many strangers. The body
of Suel was shipped to his Cousins
home at Credit River, while KatrItski
was inferred at Calvary cemetery.
There was no change reported yeSter-
day in the condition of the men lying at
the hospitals, and the doctors are una
bic to say at present whether the men
who are suffering from fractured skulls
will survive.
A rumor spread last evening to the
effect that the inquest had been post

be made with the relatives of the men

THE CONVENTION HALL
Committees Still Soliciting

Convention.
The Council This Evening to
Pass Upon the Audito-

Shepard Building Disaster

Footpads Rounded Up for Re-
lieving a Stranger OF
His Money.

The committee of one hundred feels
that it made master stroke in antici-
patlng ali rival cities by sending rep
restntative delegation of Minnesota
Democrats to Washington. This dele
CATION has, doubtless, accomplished all
that was expected of it. The purpose
was to acquaint each member of the
national committee with St. Paui'S can
dldacy and to make as favorable inn
preston as possible upon the commit
teemen. This has been accomplished,
and more. 1t is kown that votes have
been enlisted by the fineSSe.
The executive committee, consisting
of twenty-seven members. comprises a
majority of the entire national central
committee. and hence it can be realized
that favorable impression upon this
Sub-body, the friendship and influ-
ence of majority of the executive COM
mlttee, is about equivalent TO the cleo
ton of st. Paul as the convention city.
AS was contemplated at the general
meeting of the citizens committee In
the chamber of commerce Saturday
night, yesterday the canvass among the
st. Paul houses for further subscrip-
tons to the guarantee fund was re-
newed with energy. 1t seems certain

OF the hotels, whose lIberality is cues
toned by the other departments of
trade. A large sum had been expected
from the hotelkeepers, for convention
must result largely TO their profit
The committee on auditorium is hold
ing all plans in allegiance for the action
of the council at tonight's meeting.
Although the committee has considered
and digested all other projects adj
Vanced, everything mas been abandoned
as lmpracticable save the market house
plan. 1t will be physically impossible
to put up even the shell for perIna-
nent auditorium on new site in time
for the convention in June. Then it
becomes public necessity to accept
the market house site. 1t is agreed by
every committeeman that without the
national cimmittee is given positive as
SuranceS of large audience hail, st.
Paul cannot have the convention Even
such halt as was given by st. Louis at
tie last convention will hardly suffice.
The acoustic properties were execrable.
Not word could be heard from the
speakers stand beyond half the length
OF the auditorium.

CHILDS SURPRISED
That a Prisoner He Prosecuted
Was Convicted.

Assistant Attorney General Childs
received a telegram yesterday announc-
ing the conviction for manslaughter in
the first degree of Albert Pohlman, who
killed Fred Tang at Center City Oct z.
Mr. Childs conducted the prosecution of
the case and came home Saturday,
rather expecting that Tang would be
acquitted, and the verdict was a sur
prise to him. The plea of self defense
was urged for POhlman, the evidence
showing that Tang had threatened
Pohlman's life. Evidence was also Of
fered to show that deceased had held
improper relations with the wife of his
slayer. Had Pohlman killed Tang at
the time the threats were made, or
when the alleged guilty act with Mrs.
Pohlman was committed Mr.. ChildS has
no doubt that he would have been ac-
quilted. The penalty of the crime for
which the conviction was made is from
five to twenty years.
