handling the bad coins is concerned. A
young man named Fifield, residing on
Dayton's bluff, called at the Office Of
the United States attorney yesterday
morning and had talk with that Of
fetal in reference to the counterfeiting
case. Fif1eld read about the arrest of
Munroe and Parker in the G lob e :,
and rather than be placed in q false po-
sition and possibly arrested on
charge of passing counterfeit money,
he concluded to come and explain.
Parker, he said, had met him fire.
quently and on three occasions Parker
had given him silver dollar and re-
quested him to make some trifiing pur-
chase for him. He had no idea that
the money given him by Parker was
bad. and it was not until he read the
account of the arrest that he realized
the position he was in. The result Of
the conference was that Fifield was
told by the attorney that he would be
allowed to return home, but must hold
himself in readiness to appear in court
as a witness against Parker.
Parker, who has been giving up all
he knew, or pretending to, is under the
impression that he will be used as
witness against Munroe and allowed to
escape without being prosecuted. The
story told by young Fif1eld, however,
puts different light on the case, and
when Parker is arraigned today he will
find that his ambition to wiggle out
has been nipped In the bud
Detectives Werrick and Wells made
another arrest in connection with the
case last night. Ted Malloy, well
known to the police here, was taken in
custody about midnight and locked up
at the central station charged with
passing counterfeit money ,Malloy
gave his age as twenty-six and said he
was not engaged in any business. The
police say he has been in Saltwater for

the last few days and intimate that he
was interested in passing some OF the
bogus coins. When searched at the
station Malloy had a dime in his
pocket, but nothing IN the shape of
counterfeit dollars or good ones either.
1t is expected that other arrests will
be made today of persons who have
been handling the counterfeit silver
coins. Parties In both ST. Paul and
Minneapolis who have done business
with both Munroe and Parker are
known to the detectives and will be ar
rested as soon as located.
Richard Monroe, alias Smith, the
counterfeiterr waived examination yes
terday, before Commissioners Spencer.
He was held to await the action of the
federal grand jury, and bail was fixed
at $1,000. Monroe went to Jail, where
he will very likely remain until the
January term of court convenes here.
At yesterdays hearing, which was
short. the prisoner practically admitted
all that is charged against him. He
claimed, however, that there is more
silver in his illegal dollars than there is
in the legal coin Of the government.
Secretary Hart, Of the state board of
corrections and charities. in one of
whose houses Munroe was making the
bogus coin, has had to stand great
deal of chatting on the part of his daily
associates. Mr.. Hart said yesterday
that he had been trying to help Mum

TO SAVE THE BOARD.
Chamber of Commerce Intercedes
for the Public Works.

At the conclusion of it's regular week
ly session yesterday forenoon, the
chamber of commerce decided to take
a vacation until the second Monday in
September.
The final report of the committee on
taxes, relative to the assessment, was
received. Mr.. Dean suggested that the
committee ought to be continued so
that 1t might appear before the state
beard of equalization to resist thea at
tack that would be made on the assess
ment Mr.. Fairchild said that Duluth
and Minneapolis would stand together
with st. Paul in the matter.
Mr. Fairchild introduced the following
resolution which was adopted:
Resolved, That this chamber of commerce
respectfully request the board of aldermen
to delay action with regard to the abolition
OF the board of public works until the law
In regard to the same can be published in
our daily press and the matter more fully
discussed, and If found necessary, the law
be so amended as to carry out its purpose
without endangering important interests OF
the city.
communication was received from
Mayor Doran, enclosing a letter from
the committee having in charge the
Tennessee Centennial. to be opened
May l, and asking that st, Paul send
five commissioners. President Peet an
nounced that he would name the five
at a future date. The chamber also
received an invitation from the City of
Cleveland, requesting the attendance
Of representatives of the chamber at
a grand ball to be held In honor of the
Tooth anniversary of the founding of
Cleveland. President Peet appointed
Messrs. Dean, Murray, Ludden, and
Cochran.
The matter of the proposed change in
the location Of the government dam
was referred to the executive commit
tee.
The following were among the let
tiers presented by the committee re-
quested to report on sidewalks. The
letter was signed by III. w. Phillips,
of the city attorneys office:
The amount of judgments entered against
the city for personal injuries, and the amount
paid on account Of personal injuries received,
for which no judgment was entered during
the three years last past, follows:
1888 ~, 69z 4o
1886 ...................... Is 095. "a
These amounts include damages when the
injuries resulted in death. II those judg-
ments for personal injuries on account Of the
Page street disaster were omitted for the year
1893, the amount for that year would be about
the same as the two subsequent years, or
somewhat less.
Mr.. DorT introduced the following,
which was adopted:
That the committee on streets, roads and
parks be. and they are hereby instructed to
confer with the proper city authorities in.

INVALID TAX JUDGMENTS.
Judge Brill Files an Important De-
cisiOn on the Subject


Judge Brill yesterday filed an import
ant decision and findings in three cases,
substantially identical as to the law
points involved. They were the cases
of Edward G. Libby against Anthony
Yoerg, Jr. The United States Savings
and Loan company; and the National
Investment company, defendants, had
purchased tax titles to property owned
by the plaintiff, but in entering up
judgment, or in attempting to enter
Judgment" as the court puts it, the
clerk of court entered said judgment in
a real estate .tax-judgment book. The
Judgment is in form prescribed by
statute, except that it extends across
the top and bottom of both the left
hand and right hand pages of said
book, and the signature of the clerk
is upon the right hand page; and said
judgment is not dated, and it does not
appear what day it was entered.
LAS a conclusion of law" the court
continues, "it is determined that plain
tiff is the owner in fee of said real
estate. and the defendant has no in
tereSt in or lien upon the same. Judg-
ment may be entered accordingly"
In memorandum the court asserts
that: :
The same words which require
the clerk to sign the Judgment require

the other must be also" Further, 1t
is stated that 'the statute provides that
the Judgment shall be written out on
the left-hand pages of the book, leaving
the right-hand pages blank, and it
provides for entries of subsequent pro-
ceedings on the right-hand page.
Whether a judgment is valid which is
entered on both pages is open to- ques
tion but the other defect seems to me
to be fatal. Brill, j."
In the Office of the clerk of court,
1t was learned that many sirnilar iu1g-
ments were entered in like manner dur
ing 1891, and all Of them are, conse-
nuently. of no effect. Men who own any

of course, this fact would not prevent

WILL THEY PASS ITs
Aldermen coniffider Hoard of Public
Works Ordinance Tonight

Aldermen GonHider Hoard of Public
Works Ordinance Tonight.
1t will require SIX votes in the board
of aldermen toIffght to pass the ordi-
nance adopting the law of 1896 abolish
ing the board of public works, and sub
hitting therefore, commissioner of
public works. It Is not altogether GER
tain that the board will pass the ordi-
nance tonight, IF il does ait ALL Since
it was railroaded through the assembly
last Thursday 9night, the counci1men
have been thinking the thing over,
and some of them have come to the con-
.c1usion that the action was hasty. This
is certainly the opinion of most of the
assemblymen who say that they did
not dream that the ordinance was to be
submitted last Thursday night, as it
was understood that another caucus
was to be held before taking any &C
ton. AS proof that the assemblymen
considered their own action hasty,
they held a caucus the very next after
noon to talk over what they had done
How the doubt of the assemblymen
will affect the aldermen in their action
upon the same manner is not known
1t is known, however, that three alder
men will never vote for the passage of
the ordinance. They are Aldermen
Donahower, Kenny and Allard. They
will. vote against it for various reasons,
but primarily because they are convinc-
ed that the law of 1895 is unconstitu-
ticnal and that If adopted, It's operation
would result disastrously to the city,
because of its unconstitutiona1ity. Pos
sibly there are other aldermen who
will vote against the ordinance, but If
so they are not saying a word The
fact that the concensus of legal opin-
ion thus far obtained by the commit
tee consisting of the lawyers of the
common councils Is against the adop-
ton of the law of 1895, may cut some
figure with the board Of aldermen,
though whether ii win result In six
votes against the ordinance is doubt
