yesterday morning, the committee to
which was referred the matter of the
recently adopted constitutional amend
ment, with instructions to ascertain Ill
what manner it would affect Minneapo-
lis, reported its findings. The commit

iron-ciad act, prohibiting special legis
lation OH all the subjects mentioned in
it. including municipal corporations.
The committee was not informed as to
what amendments are needed in the
present city charter, and 1t therefore
had no recommendations to make re-
garding the passage of general law on
the subject. The committee was Of the
opinion that the city council should
take the first steps toward asking for
amendments, i'm which case the commit
tee Woul cooperate when called upon.

quest the city attorney to look up the
matter of necessary legislation aud take
a. tions accordingly.

Bat Grain Men DO Not See His NO
Discrimination Point,
H. r. Williams, assistant general SUI
perintendent of the Milwaukee road,
says his road is not discriminating
against Minneapolis in the matter OF
wheat shipments. He is in charge OF
all the Milwaukee lines tributary to
Minneapolis, and is the man who issued
the order to shut off wheat shipments
to Minneapolis. His road, he SAYS ex-
perienced blockade in Minneapolis
November, and since then has been
aiming to prevent recurrence. sIhe
Milwaukee can handle about lS5 cars
day in Minneapolis, according to 'Mr.
Williams. The grain men cannot sea
Mr.. Williams point. His road has
better facilities for handling grain
in Minneapolis than any of the other
roads. yet it is handling only few more
cars than the Omaha and the Great
Northern. On almost any day during
November the receipts of wheat in
Minneapolis from the Milwaukee roai
were far below what Mr.. Williams says
the road can handle. All the roads are
pres sed for cars, but the Milwaukee is
the only one, according to the chamber
OF commerce men. that furnishes cars to
other points. but refuses them 10 Mill
neapoliS. Travelling wheat buyers re-
port at stations tapped by other lines
as well as the Milwaukee plenty oil MIL
waukee cars are to be had, and at
points where the Milwaukee suffers no
competition it is impossible to get cars.

In Honor Of President Potter, who
Received a Handsome Gold
Watch.
There was a jolifcation at the resi-
dence of Aid. Loye, 511 Ridgewood
avenue, last night. Along during the
early part of the evening the conductors
Oh the nenuepin avenue line wondered
who the men We're that boarded the cars
in so great number. None of them
paid their fares. They handed the
conductors street car checks, and sat
down on the seats with an air of pro-
prietorship. They acted like joint own
ers of the street railway system, and no
doubt they were, for they were alder
men. They were all bound for Aid.
Loye'S house, where a blowout had
been arranged for the benefit of the re-
firing president Of the council, Aid.
Potter. Supper was served, then cigars
and little good cheer of another nature.
Then Aid. Loye disappeared within the
receSScS of back room. and when he
returned he held in his hand little
square box. This little box contained a
handsome gold watch.
The watch was for President Potter.
1t was a slight token, as Aid. Loye re-
marked, in his most impressive voice,
which the aldermen of the council had
decided to give him, to mark their es-
TEEN and appreciation Of his sterling
worth The watch was suitably in
scribed, and 1t was with feeling that
President Potter received the gift and
thanked his friends. Of course the
whole thing twas surprise" to him.
Such things always are. 1t was appre-
ciated none the less. The watching"
OF President Potter was success in
every particular. and all the partici-
pants felt at peace with themselves and
the street railway company when they
boarded car on the return trip and
handed the conductor another lot of
checks.

The Champion skaters.

The Donoghue brothers, Joseph F..
the champion ice skater of America,
and James A., arrived I'D the city from
their home, Newburg, N. Y, Sunday.
The former is here for business, and
wants to make match to skate the cele-
brated Norwegian champion, Harold
Hagen. Hagen is expected to arrive
here this week, and when he does the
fur will fly. Joe Donoghue yesterday
deposited $3.50 with the Tribune as for
felt money for match with Hagen.
He will skate Hagen series of three
races. one mile, three miles and five
miles, for from $1,000 to 81, 500 side, or
a five-mile race for $1,000. He is willing
that the race or races shall occur OIL any
rink or course satisfactory to all parties.
1t is very likely that the challenge will
be accepted when Hagen arrives. Hugh
Mccormick, the Canadian skater, is
also expected to arrive in the city in
the course of two weeks, and he will
probably endeavor to get another race
with Hagen.

1t is Puzzling the Members of the
health Department.
The recent action of the village coun-
Gil of st. Louis Park cansed the board
of health to discuss the matter of quar-
antine protection yesterday afternoon
in serious manner. 1t was the senti-
ment of the board that the hospital
should remain within the limits of st.
Louis Park, just where it is, and let the
courts decide whether or not Minneap-
oils had a right to maintain the institu-
ti0nin its preSentlocaIity. City Attorney
Russell was called upon for an opinion,
but he could not give one until he had
looked the matter over more carefully.
He promised the board to submit his
opinion at the next meeting.
Building Inspector HaZen submitted
plans for the proposed new detention
hospital. The scheme is to build it
near the quarantine hospital, on the
the line of the spur track, so that in
case of an epidemic patients could be
detained there until ready for the hos
pital. 1t will also be used for insane
people, who will be kept under close
watch for several days previous to their
examination before the judge of pro-
bate in order to allow, in case of doubt,
the dementia to become fully devel-
oped. The plans submitted yesterday
showed building two stories in height,
with a basement. it contained a dia
gram of dining room, kitchen, physi-
clans and janitors' quarters, court room
for the use of the Judge of probate
when examining insane people, and
two wards containing thirteen rooms.
The plans arrange for the entire build
ing being pIasterad and tioOred with

AWARDS APPROVED.
East Siders Must Appeal for Rec
dress-Sandy Lake Park.


At the meeting of tile park board yes
terday the committee on the east river
bank boulevard reported, recommend
ing that the award of the appraisers be
approved. The report was made after
careful consideration of the objections
of some of the property interested.
Commissioner Ryan, VINO has been op-
posing this boulevard because it was
not made to run back further from the
river, sided with the objectors. The
board. however, confirmed the award.
Some of the interested property owners,
led by Ezra FarnSwortn Jr., claim that
they have been allowed only about half
what their property is worth. They
will appeal to the district court.
The offer OF the Minneapolis Improve
ment Company Northeast, the new land
company. to let the board have l25
acres of land surrounding Sandy lake,
in Northeast Minneapolis, for a
park, came up Oh report of the

which came up for so much notoriety
last summer because Of the chicken lice
and other uncomfortable things found
about the place. is before the public
again. The annual meeting Of the as
sociation under whose auspices the
rome was conducted held Il meeting
yesterday morning III the Westminster
church. After the various officers had
reported, the election of new directors
came up, aud with it breeze. The
members of the association present
acted after the manner of disgruntled
politicians, and several times regular
fisticuff battles we're narrowly averted.
There were but fifteen people present,
yet over sixty ballots were cast.
and then the question of prox-
les arose. Bowker acted In an
unseemly manner, ordering people out
of the building and threatening them
with personal violence unless they
vamooSed. Among those he ordered out
were Agent Tatre, of the humane So
ciety. and Rev. III. Ii. French, of the
Wtsl y NJ. E. church. Both refused to
leave, and Mr.. Tatro remarked that
there~were not enough men present to
put him out. 1t was after this fashion
that the religious and benevolent men
conducted themselves.
During the scrap BOwker was accused
OF having tried TO get men To vote who
did not belong to the association. or
course, he denied it, and for few min
uteS confusion reigned supreme in the
meeting. The election was finally set
tied by the choosing of the following
directors:
Judge j. NJ. Shaw, Rev. E. A. Skogs-
burg, Rev. K. f. McKaig, X. c. Barton,
w. E. Hewitt and Il. b. Tomlinson.
Mr. Hewitt read a resolution leveled
against DR.. A. S. Whetstone,s sin which
the latter was requested to resign. A
war Of words followed, and Mr.. Hewitt
made bitter speech in which he com
pared Bowker to Jesus Christ, who was
prosecuted by the Jews. MI BoWker
bore very meek and lowly look when
this speech was under way. For all
that, however, the resolution was not
adopted.
Although the Bowker home was
placed under Il ban and the directors
voted, several months ago. to discon-
tnue it. BOWker has run IL OH his own
responsibility. Rev. French, in speak
ing about the place yesterday afternoon
after the meeting, remarked that he did
not approve the manner in which the
place was conducted. Girls OF Hire
pute, he said. were placed among young
children. and several of the latter had
been corrupted by the association.

dealers in st. Louis, lose the value of
the liquor they sold to Daniel l.. Nc
Guickin, of Omaha. Mette and Kenne
sold the liquor. and when they at
tempted to collect pay were met in

Nebraska forbade the sale of liquors
without license, and that as the firm
had no license, recovery of the moneys
could not be enforced in court. Tne

well taken. and Judgment was given for
McGuickin. which Judgment the su-
preme court today affirmed by divided

before this court was that the Nebraska

Walker. thirty-three years Of age, and
native of Wisconsin, was shot and
killed at Sunny Side, CAL, Thursday
evening by an unknown party. The
