PHILIP ROHR DEAD.
First German Editor in This City
Passes Away


The German pioneers of ST. Paul.
and more especially the earliest set
tiers, will be deeply grieved at learn
ing the news of the death of Phillip
Rohr, which occurred in Kaiserslauten.
Germany, Feb. l. Mr.. Rohr was one
or the early newspaper men Of this city,
having established the Minnesota Volks-
blatt, the German daily that is at pres
ent known as Die Volkszeitung. Mr..
Rohr came to the United States in 1S47.
and few years later came West and
located in st. Paul. His first literary
venture was the establishment of a.
German magazine, called 1.-The Torch
and later it was turned into a weekly
newspaper. Deceased was in the early
hfties one of the public spirited citizens
or St Paul, and was the organizer of
several German societies, among them
being the German Rea ding and Sing
ing society, which existed UP to a few
years ago, when 1T was merged into the
TurnVerein. He formed German OBJ
era company in st. Paul, and, after
successful engagement here,
he took the company on tour through
out the United States, making both a
musical and financial success of the
venture
In 1862 Phillip Rohr went back to the
Fatherland, being called there by the
death Of his step-father, whose bust
ness as printer and publisher he has
carried on ever. since After arriving
at his old home he took an active part
In liberal local politics, and served sew
eral terms in the Stadtrath, similar tc
the council here, and acted as president
of one of the large benevolent institu-
TONS The deceased was we'll known
to early settlers of all nationalities, and
many gray-headed pioneer will be
able to recall the many sterling quail
man.

MAY BE SOME CHANGES.
The New Board of Public Works Or
ganfZes Today.

The new board of public works. con-
sisting Of Commissioners German,
Quinby, Hare and Banholzer, will hold
its first meeting today for the purpose
of organizing, and presumably for the
further purpose of electing a city en-
gineer and a clerical force for the Of
flee. 1t is generally believed that
Capt German will be reelected presi-
dent Of the board.
There seem to be only two candi-
dates for the office of city engineer
l.. w. Rundlett the present incum-
bent, and H. III. Fuller, who once
filled the position of assistant
city engineer. Mr.. Rundlett's re-elec-
ton to the office is said to be practical
ly assured.
With Assistant City Engineer Will
son the case is different AS pub
lished in the G 10 b e some weeks ago,
Mr.. Wilson is slated to go. The as
sistant city engineer is appointed by
the city engineer, but the wishes of
those who appoint the city engineer
Will probably control the selection of
his assistant. 1t is understood that
Mr.. Wilson would like to succeed him
self. The names of G. F. Hollings-
worth, Of the Northern Pacific engi-
neering force, and C. r. Starkey, are
! also mentioned as candidates for as
sistant city engineer.
w neither JOnn y. Mueller, the pres
ent clerk of the board of public works,
will be reelected or not is uncertain
Mr.. Mueller was appointed two years
ago in place of j. T. Kerker. 1t is re-
ported that w. F. Erwin, one of the
two deputy clerks. is a candidate for
chief clerk, a position which he form
erly held for several years. The sal
aries of the chief clerk and the two
| deputy clerks are the same-$90 a
month under the 10 per cent reduc-
| ton.
Mr.. Fuller regards his chances of
being elected city engineer reasonably
| good.
| Mr.. Fuller is confident that he will re-
ceive two votes out of the four. eff
Mr.. Rundlett can depend on two
vctes," said Mr.. Fuller last night, 1.-THE
future is uncertain for either of u.s. ]
am satisfied that Mr.. Rundlett has not
received any pledges, and 1 have not
received or eXacted any either. I don't
think Mr.. Rundlett will secure his re-
election. Neither do think that will
| be elected myself. The result may be
| that it will take some time before a
choice has been made, and in the mean
time, of course, Mr.. .Rundlett will
doubtless continue ito act. One of the
new members of the board said yester-
day afternoon that no conditions had
been exacted UP to that time, and ]
don't believe that either one of them
| has pledged himself to vote for any
man for city engineer"

CARRIERS ON BIKES
ST. PAUL POSTMEN MAY PROVIDE
THEMSELVES WITH SILENT
STEEDS.
COST OF TRANSPORTATION.
NATTER UNDER CONSIDERATION
OF STREET RAILWAY AND
POSTAL AUTHORITIES.
CASTLE AND HARDAcRE CONFER
With the Rapid Transit People
About the Matter-NO Decision
Reached.

Postmaster Castle and Superintend-
ent of Carriers Hardacre visited Mime
apolis yesterday afternoon to consult
with Postmaster Holbrook, of that city,
and the officials of the Twin City Rap
id Transit company in reference to Sc
curing cheaper transportation for mail
carriers over the lines of the company.
The present arrangement In ST. Paul
is that the street car company receives
$500 per year for transporting all
carriers and special delivery boys in
uniform. OF this amount 81 900 is paid
directly by the government. The re-
naming $4,000 is made up of assess
ments against each carrier and messen-
ger boy of So per month. Practically
the same arrangement prevails at Min
neapolis.
The postoffice department has recent
ly been looking into the matter of local
transportation afforded carriers in va
rious cities. Each postmaster has been
allowed heretofore to make the most
advantageous contract possible with
the car lines of his city. The result
has been q wide difference, in many
cases, between the cost of transport
Ing carriers in cities of similar popula-
ton and similar mail facilities. Where
street car companies have proven ex-
tortionate, which has sometimes hap
pened in the East, the department has
allowed carriers $50 a year for the
maintenance of bicycles purchased by
themselves. Although wheels might
prove chilly vehicles during those old
fashioned Minnesota winters which
may possibly reappear, and although a
Christmas mail might embarrass a car
rler who wanted to squirt up the Selby
or Merriam hills, yet the department
believes that carriers might use BIZ
cycles as they use street cars now, for
reaching the scene of their toll in the
outlying districts.
Nevertheless it is the conviction of
local authorities that the present ar
rangement would be more satisfactory
If only the street car company can be
Induced to accept a smaller aggregate
sum forts services and pass the car
riers free. 1t is considered unjust to
tax the carriers. Another reason why
the department objects to it's employees
paying SO a month for transportation
on official business is that such pay
ment has been recently construed as
NlOlaIloH VI the law pfonlDltlng the
acceptance on the part of the govern
ment of any gratuitous services or
any gratuitous contributions. The in
tent of this law is to prevent the sub
sequent presentation of claims against
the government on the plea that no
compensation was received for serv-
ices, or that contributions were made
without adequate return.
The introduction of bicycles would
result in a considerable saving in COM
parison with the total amount now
paid the street car company, for only
a limited number of carriers would be
obliged to use wheels.
