HARRY HAYWARD IN COURT.
Yhe Alleged Murderer of Miss Cling Pleads
Not Guilty.

9he Alleged Murderer of Miss Cling Pleads
Not Guilty.
NI1NNEAecLls, Dec. 25.-Harry Hay
ward, accused of instigating the muir
der of Catherine Cling Dec. 3, was ar
raigned in the district court Oh the
charge of murder i'll the first degree.
He pleaded not guilty, and his case
was set for Ja',. 2l. The case OF Claus
Blixt, the self-confessed tool OF Hay
ward in the matter of the crime, was
taken up again by the court and reset
for the same day as the Hayward trial.
HAYWARD had lost none Of his strange
nonchalance as he came into the court
room to be arraigned. and entered ms
plea in manner which indicated that
he considered the whole matter but
little more serious than a joke. The
arraisnment was so planned as to
throw large crowd, which had assem-
bled to see the event, off the track, this
caution having been taken on every
occasion when Harry Hayward has
been brought out of his cell. The gen.
eral feeling, however, is more one OF
curiosity than of retribution. Attor'
neys for the two accused men are ex'
llibiting somewhat more of dispose
ton to get together. 1t has appeared
up to this time that each man would
attempt to clear himself at the expense
of the other.

Tho State Dairy Commission Favors That
Method of Sterilization.
ST. PAUL, Dec. 24.-The biennial re.
port of the state dairy and food COM
mission has been issued. Following
the financial statement, showing the
disbursements in 1893 to have been
$14,S27.47 and i'll 1894 $14,017.22, the
commission states that the legislature
should enact law compelling the pas
teurization of all milk, so that bacteria
and disease germs may be destroyed be-
fore it reaches the consumer. He ex-
explains the system, which is thorough
and beneficial.
During two years the department
has inspected 4,142 samples Of milk,
averaging percentage of fat of 1858 1-3,
the standard in Minnesota being higher
than that of any other butter produc-
ing state. There have been 10 prose-

tive assessment shouldered them with
an unknown risk. In effect it made
them supply insurance on all of the
notes of banks in which they had no
concern.
In view of these criticisms, the sub
stitute will do away with the assess
ment plan. The safety plan'' will be
the limit Of the joint liability Of all the
banks for the failure of individual
banks. They will, however, be COM
PEELED to keep up this safety fund by
more rigid provisions than appeared in
the original bill.
Besides these two main changes,
there are many lesser ones which have
been offered as amendments, but which
will now be incorporated as a part of
the substitute.

Its Many Opponents-Two Important
Features, One of Which Allows National
Banks to Continue as at Present.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 22.-After con.
ferences between the Democratic men,
bers of the house committee on bank
ing and currency and with the APP
proval Of the secretary of the treasury,
Mr.. Springer introduced Il Aubstitute
for the Carlisle currency bill. 1t is
substantially new measure, although
some of the sections of the orig
inal measure are contained in the
new bill. Two very important features
appear for the first time in the substi-
tute. The main one will have tho ef-
feet of allowing the national banking
system to run along, without an arbi-
trary provision that the banks must
organize under the new system. The
original Carlisle bill contemplated that
all national banks must reorganize un-
der the new plan. This would have
required them to surrender the govern
ment bonds which now constitute the
base of their circulation; but the sub
stitute does away with the imperative
change. If national banks wish to con-
tinue to hold their United States bonds
and issue circulation thereon, they may
do SO. 1t is felt that they will soon
discover the advantages of the new
system, and will therefore adopt it vol.
unfairly.
Unknown Liability Eliminated.
The other important feature of the
substitute is that it does away with
the unknown liability of banks tc
guarantee the notes Of all other banks
This feature of the original bill hat
been much criticized 1t contemplated
that if a national bank failed, its note.
would be paid out of its assets, and the
general ''safety fund" made up by al
the banks, But if the assets and safety
fund were insufficient to pay the note.
Of the failed bank then the comptrollel
Of the currency was to make u pro rati
assessment ON all the banks of th'
country. Tho banks said tni, proa.c"
