WARNING FROM ANDREWS.
Chief Fire Warden of the State Is
Apprehensive of Danger.

Gen. c. c. Andrews, of the forest
preservation commission, and chief
hre warden of the state, has received
reports from 220 towns representing
over 6O0 districts in relation to the
action taken by them for the CARRYING
out of the law passed at the last legis-
lature for the prevention OF forest and
prairie fires. Gen. Andrews saws that
while as much has been done as was
possible under the restrictive proyis-
ions of the act creating the commission
and small outlay thereby authorized,
there is great need of the general CO.
operation of citizens in order to avert
the danger of forest and prairie fires
this fall. This season has been very
favorable to the growth of vegetation
and garbage, the grasses are thick and
abundant, and the forest underground
exceptionally heavy. If the succeeding
few weeks are dry, a September fire
raging through this vast amount of ad-
ditional fuel and swept on by the
autumn high winds would threaten
repetition of the disasters of last year.
Copies of the law and notices calling
attention to it's provisions have been
generally circulated by the depart
ment- Gen. Andrews thinks that
special precautions are necessary, and
urges the greatest care on the part of
all during the season of danger.

IGNORING THE LAW.
Express Companies Eviyce Il Dis
position to Fight.


At the close of business hours yester-
day none of the express companies do
ing business in Minnesota had filed
their schedules with the state railroad
and warehouse commission as required
by the new law, placing these com
panies on the same footing as common
carriers. 1t appears now as if there
was a tacit understanding among the
express companies not to comply with
the provisions Of the new law until
forced to do so by the courts. AL
though frequently requested to file
their tariffs with the commission, and
while number of the representa- ives
of the companies have personally
called at the offices of the commission.
not single one has seen fit to make
the filing.
A G b e reporter yesterday asked
Gen. Becker, chairman of the railroad
and warehouse commission, what
course that body would pursue in the
premises. To this Gen. Becker re-
piled: 1--WE do not feel like telling the
enemy in advance what our line of
action will be. There will be a meet
ing of the full board to consider the
matter and we shall no doubt take
advice from the attorney general. It
may be necessary to bring a mandamus
action against the companies. They
VIII no doubt come in and contest the
ccnstltut1onality Of the law If the
courts uphold the law the commission
Will take steps to enforce the law as it
stands. The members of the commits
sion are not all in the city today. AS
soon as they are a meeting will be
held to take some action"

the time that this work was under

The Census Bureau Officials. De-
j nounce InsinnntiOns of Z
rad Faith. as

Attorney General Childs yesterday
decided that a fair construction of the
provisions of the census law relating
to the publication of the census statis-
tics is that the publication may be
made as soon as all of the returns
have been received and the compila ton
thereof fully completed, and that such
publication may be made in sections
or as an entirety. The attorney. gen.
erals opinion was rendered in response
to the query of Secretary of State Berg
as to what the statute permitted in this
respect.
There is still some question, from the
text of Mr.. Childs' letter to Mr.. Berg,
as to whether it will be necessary to
complete the compilation for the whole
state before the publication of any por-
ton thereof may be made, or whether,
when all the returns of any particular
city, county or district are fully COM
piled, these may be published without
waiting for the compilation of those of
balance of the state.
The attorney generals letter is as
follows:
Attorney Generals Office, ST. Paul,
Aug. Z, lS95:-Hon; Albert Berg, Sec
quire, in effect, if you are authorized
to print and publish in sections the
compilation of the census statistics
taken pursuant to Gen. Laws 1895 (No.
II, Pop. ED, rather than await the
time when you shall be enabled to
publish the entire work.
While the literal terms of the stat
ute are apparently at variance with
publication in the manner first above
named, they may fairly admit of the
opposite view when read in the light
of their manifest purpose 1t is evi-
dent that a compilation of a reliable
census is sought, and to that end
provision is made against causes
tending to impeach it. 1t is certainly
desirable to secure the earliest pos
sible publication of the compilation,
and the statute must be deemed to
contemplate it. When all Of the CEN
sus returns shall have been received
by, you, and the compilation thereof
fully completed, it will be proper to
cause the same to be printed and pub
hshed in sections, or as an entirety.
according as you may deem exped-
lent. In either event, it will be a rea-
sonable compliance with the require
ments of the law. L am, very respect
fully, H. w. .CHILDS.

POCKETS FULL OF PASSES.
An Alleged Circus Agent Works
Game That Will Kill Him.


Through the premature publication of
greatly exaggerated story in a Min
neapolis paper a clever swindler has
been enabled to evadeI for the time be-
ng the clutches of the officers of the
Jaw. But ais the party has after him
the railroad companies of the country
his actions and career will be certain
TO IND a sudden end. 1t seems that a
fellow going here under the name of
X. A. Braun has been working the diff
ferent railroad companies for time
passes under the guise of being the adj
vance agent of a circus. He would
present himself at the offices of the
contracting freight agents and make
contracts to haul his circus to certain
points over the lines. When these ne
go1auons were concluded he would ask
for the issuance of a number of trip
or time passes for his staff of bill
posters. If he secured the passes he
would dispose of them for whatever
amount he could get from ticket brok-
ers or others.
Assistant General Freight Agent
Obert, Of the Omaha, said yesterday
that Braun had been there and exc
cuted contract to handle his circus.
He had obtained a number of passes,
about fourteen in all. But word was
soon received that the fellow was a.
crook and orders were at once bulle-
tined cancelling the passes, thus frus-
tratlng his little game in that direct ton.
Assistant Freight Agent Hiland, of
the st. Paul & Duluth, had also made
a contract with Braun, which covered
a number of type written pages, to
haul his circus. Braun also asked to
nave fourteen passes ISSUED over the
line from st. Paul 10 Duluth The
passes were made out, but owing to the
sickness of Mr.. School, secretary to the
general manager, were not counter
signed and are still in the general Of
hces. Braun said he was going to Min
neapolis and from that place he tex
phoned to have the passes left with
the clerk of the Merchants hotel. In
quiries there show that a. man was
left in charge there to receive the
passes in case they should arrive, but
Braun himself did not wait for them.
OF course the contracts are not worth
the paper they are written on.
Mr.. Obert, in speaking of the matter.
said further: Braun is going under
many aliases. He was to have put in
an appearance at the general offices of
the Minneapolis & st. Louis today for
the purpose Of making a contract The
publication Of the article has evidently
scared him off, and we have been thus
far unable to locate the fellow. 1t was
my intention to nab him first and then
give you the whole story in detail.
will say, however, that any story which
credits him with securing any large
sums of money are not correct He
might have secured some transporta-
ton for himself here, but had no time
to get any great sums of money by
selling passes in the Twin Cities. He
is due at Omaha to make a contract
with Elkhorn people. If he is not put
on his guard now we shall get him
when he gets there

PREVENTION OF MONOPOLY
In the Distribution of Night Soil
Is n PerpIexing Question,

Still another health ordinance is
on the tapis. 1t emanates from the
Northwestern Sanitation company,
which disposes of night soil by means
of an artesian well plant located on
the west bank of the river. The
former health ordinance, now in the
hands of the committee on health,
came from the same source, and pro-
vides, among other things, that night
soil can be disposed of in only two
ways, either by cremation or by the
artesian we'll system. The effect this
ordinance would have was apparent,
being to give the Northwestern San
itation company a temporary mo-
nopoly at least of collecting and dis
posing of the night soil of the city.
But when the ordinance came before
the joint committee on health, that
body, wishing to be fair, recon-
mended that the ordinance should
not take effect, if passed, until Sept
Is, thereby allowing the competing
sanitation companies a reasonable
time in which to properly equip them-1
selves to do the work-that is, to.
either construct a crematory or dig
an artesian well. r.
This being the case, the attorney
for the Northwestern Sanitation
company has drafted another ordi-
nance, which, they believe, will ac-
complish their desires. Aid. Hare
was about to introduce the latter
ordinance last Tuesday night just
as the aldermen were voting to adj
journ, but he was too late.
The distinctive feature of the new,
ordinance is the section requiring ali
scavengers desiring to engage in the
business of collecting and disposing
Of the night soil of the city to obtain
a license and permit therefor from
the council, instead of going to the
health commissioner for their per-
mits. The ordinance also compels
every city scavenger so licensed to
furnish the city with a bond in the
sum of $4,000. The methods of dis
posing of the night soil are restricted
as in the former ordinance to crema-
ton and the artesian well system.

which should not remain understand
that the enumeratorS were strictly in
structed that every name should be
stricken off these lists unless tho
enumerator. upon personality visiting
the number given, found the persons
entitled to enumeration, and actual
bona fide residents of Minneapolis
This work was entirely under the
charge Of the secretary of state. The
citizens committee never had any
thing to do with the official schedules
or the placing of names upon them. I
have no reason to believe, however
that any enumerator ever disobeyed
fident that not a single fictitious name
can be found upon the census schedules
of Minneapolis. Everything that we
have done has been entirely open and
above board from first to last We
court the fullest investigation of any
kind and every name contained upon

THIS IS A DAILY PAPER,
Construction That the Attorney
General Puts on the LAW.


The standing of the Saltwater Ga
zette as legal daily paper has been
upheld by Attorney General Childs in a
letter addressed to L. S. Mainwaring.
county attorney of Washington county.
The Gazette does not issue on Christ
mas or Fourth of July, and the point
was raised that for this reason it was
not daily paper. The attorney gen.
eral holds that publication on secular
days only is necessary and that the
omission to publish on holidays cuts no
figure. In his opinion Mr.. Childs SAYS:
Newspapers are classified in the
statute as printed. daily, tri-weekly,
Sem1-Weekly and weekly. 1t would,
in my judgment, be a narrow and un,
warranted construction of the statute
to hold that it requires publication to
be made upon such days in order to
maintain the legal status of a daily
paper. This is all the more so in view
OF somewhat recent act of the leg
!s!ature defining holidays and prohib-
iting the performance of public bus
mess thereon when not required by
necessity. The paper which observes
the holiday by such omission lis still
printed daily within the contempIa-
ton of the statute"

census Bureau officials Denounce
BnSeIcSS Publications.

Inc officials of the census bureau
were very indignant over the charge
made by implication in Yesterdays
Ploneer Press that they We're conniying
at or concerned in the padding of the
minneapolis schedules at the instance
or with the cooperation of the local
committee Of that city. They repudi-
ate the charge entirely that any pad
ding Of the official census of any local
1ty can or will be done. Capt. Wildt
stated to a G | b e reporter that all
the official schedules of both ST. Paul
and Minneapolis were in the hands of
the bureau before the period for emu
meratlon had expired, and that none
of them had since gone out of its Gus
tody.
THE Pioneer Press news article"
said Capt. Wildt, "as we'll as the
editorial commenting on 1t, is a tissue
Of falsehood and misrepresentation
throughout. The paper has been MAX
ing such charges one day and taking
them back the next, almost all through
the taking of the census. The only
schedule out in Minneapolis was an I'M
official one which had been made out
in lead pencil and was sent back to be
put in ink. 1t was an error of one of
the minor clerks of the bureau that
resulted in the statement that any of
the st. Paul lists were still out They
were all in Monday. AS to the Mime
apolis call-backs, I don't know wheth-
er or not any padding is being or has
been attempted in them, but it will cut
no figure whatever. 1t will be work
wasted and time lost to pad them, be-
cause when they are examined by this
bureau they will be unpadded, and
stripped and trimmed of every ficti-
tious, false or unauthorized name be-
fore their contents will go into the
census schedules proper. Those lists
will be subjected to the closest scrutiny
and thoroughly verified before being
accepted or used by the bureau.
Every name not belonging there, if
there should be such, will be Topped
off. We are all sworn officials, and are
men of good standing as to integrity
and honesty outside the columns of the
Pioneer Press. AS we despair of prop
er representation or fair treatment
from that paper, and want everybody
to know that the census will be square
ly and honestly taken and compiled,
without regard to the interests of any
locality beyond what full and fair
count of actual population will give,
we ask the G o b e to make this
statement public. AS to equal treat
ment of the two cities, we gave the
! ST. Paul committee all the time it
asked, and the members expressed
| themselves fully satisfied that all pos
sible had been done to insure correct
ness and completeness in the census
of this city. Minneapolis may list all
the fictitious names the Pioneer Press
sends them if it wants to; but we will
prune them down and weed them out
when we look those lists over. That

LOWER FIFTH PASSED UP
Property Owners DON'T Want the
Street Paved Until Next Year.

AS result of the second hearing be-
fore the board of public works yester-
day in the matter Of paving East Fifth
street from Wabasha street to Broad
way, the board decided to make an ad-
verse report, for the reason that the
general sentiment ON that street is
against paving it until next spring.
The majority of the property owners
expressed a preference for asphalt
when the time arrives to pave the
street. few, however, favor a brick
paving and two or three think that
granite would be far more suitable for
the lower portion Fifth street.
