The Commission a Good One


st. Paul, Special Telegram April Ii
Gov. Nelson yesterday announced the
membership Of the capitol commission Gre
ated by the capitol bill which recently be-
came a law. 1t was the first intention OF
the governor to appoint certain members
from each branch Of the legislature. Some
question however, arose as to whether any
member of the legislature could be appoint
ed upon the commission under the state
constitution, and the governor applied to the
attorney general for a written opinion upon
the subject. Attorney General Childs last
Saturday delivered an opinion to the govern
or, which maintained TINT no legislator was
eligible to the position under section II
of article of the state constitution, be-
cause a position upon the commission was
clearly a state office. The governor there
fore selected all the members of the commits
sion outside of the legislature. One member
is selected from each congressional district,
as follows: > eSfss
H. w Lamberton Of Winona First dis
1rict; James W. McHench of Martin county,
Second district: George A. Du Toit Of ,Chas-
ka. Third district; Charming Seabury Of ST.
Paul, Fourth district; John De Laittre OF
Minneapolis, Fifth district; Col 9. II.
Graves Of Duluth Sixth district; and T.
H. Barrett of Herman, Seventh district.
The members are all well known citizens of
the state. II. w. Lambecton is a banker at
Winona; James McHench owns a large stock
farm in Martin county, where he resides;
George A. Du Toit is attorney at Chas-
ka, and an old resident Of the state; Chan
ming Seabury is the head of a great mercan-
tile house in st. Paul; John De Laittre is a
banker and lumberman of Minneapolis; Col.
c. III. Graves is a Duluth banker and ex-
speaker of the house of representatives and
Gen. Barrett is a farmer Of Grant county.
All the commissioners are recognized bust
ness men Of ability, and the selections are
regarded as excellent. In politics the mem
bers of the committee from the Second,
Fourth and Sixth districts are Republicans.
The members from the First, Third and
Fourth districts are Democrats, and from
the Seventh district Populist is chosen.
Cabmen vs.. COrbett.
Montreal, April Thames Corbett and
William Brady. his manager, who have
been here playing ''Gentleman jack came
near being mobbed by an indignant mob
of cabmen Saturday evening before they
left for Buffalo. The Indignation arose over
the i'll treatment which one of their num-
Der. P. Lammonde, suffered at Corbett's
and Brady's hands on Friday afternoon in
| the Windsor hotel. Both had engaged the
cabman to drive them around the town
in the morning. and during the trip drinks
| were taken. The result was that the cab
man got half full, and when he drove the
! pair back to the hotel at 2 O'Clock Corbett
and Brady refused to pay him, on the
| ground that the cabman was drunk The
| cabman, who Is Il small man, followed them
| into the rotunda Of the hotel, and said:
| II don't give continental whether you are
| Corbett OF any other fellow but l want
| my money Corbett for a reply picked
him up by the neck and kicked him out of
| the hotel. Brady then thought he would
have his share of 1t and went out on the
| sidewalk and started to give him a. second
dose. but he reckoned without his host for
| the driver was giving Brady the worst OF
it; when others interfered and parted them.
This was why the Jehus wanted to get at
them both before they left. The tour
