SUPPOSED BOOK swINDLER AN

WITH A eyes"
TWO OF THREE ARE JAILED.
BUT THE THIRD FACTOR IN THE
SUPPOSED SWINDLE ESCAPES TT
THE PURSUERS.
HIS NAME is non EGGLEsroNi
And He Left His Hotel in this City
Saturday Night Very z79ts
Suddenly.

The police yesterday arrested r. ID.
Sutherland and J. w. McManusc, on
a charge of swindling. The complaint
against the twain was made by John
Voegth, of 405 Martin street, who claims
that Sutherland had touched him up
for $40 on a book agency deal. For the
past two weeks Robert ]. Eggleston,
who claims to be representing the
Consolidated Book company, of Chica-
go, has been operating in Minneapolis.
The plan by which Eggleston worked
was to advertise in the papers for In
telligent young men who wanted.
good thing to call on him at his hotel
A number of Minneapolis youths an
swered the ad, either by letter or by
person, and were shown nicely-b bound,
set of books purporting to be issued by
the Consolidated Book company, Of
Chicago. The volumes were rather sem
sational ones, including 1.-The Life of
Harry Hayward and His Confession"
''The Holmes Mystery and Murders"
1.-THE st. Louis Cyclone" and '"The Gu
ban War" The intelligent young, or
for that matter old men who called
were given the opportunity !, to
take a certain territory in the
state, and act as agents for
the Chicago firm represented by Mr..
Eggleston. A line Of samples would, Of
course, be furnished each agent, but
it was necessary for the agent to leave
with Mr.. Eggleston an amount, rang
ing from SIS to all that he could get,
to be held as a security for the SAM
pies. A number Of victims were caught,
but for some reason the samples which
they were to receive never arrived. So
many agents were hired in Minneapolis
and such a quantity of samples ordered
at from S. to $40 per set that the po-.
lice were put onto the scheme. The
result was that Mr.. Eggleston could not
be found by the officers or the agents
he had done business with in Mime
apolis, and the st. Paul police were no.
titled to be on the lookout for the gem
tleman.
Yesterday morning John voegtli
called at the central station and told
Lieut. Boerner that there were a cou-
pie Of men at the Clarendon hotel who
were conducting what looked to him
like a swindle. He had answered an
advertisement for agents and on Wis
iting the hotel he found Messrs. Suth-
erland and McManus, who offered him
the city Of Shakopee to sell books in
providing that he would put up $40
for a set of samples. He had not been
particularly impressed by the scheme
and concluded to notify the police

THEY WILL GO ON, REGARDLESS
aOFsB0ARD OF PUBLIC WORKS
CHANGES.
THEIR CLAIMS WILL STAND,
NO MATTER WHICH WAY THE
PRESENT POLITICAL CONTEN-
TION is SETTLED.
MAY GET INTO COURT EARLY
There Is 81 Possibility That the Dis.
trict Court May Be ResOrted
To at Once.

It was rumored yesterday that the
ousting of the board of public works
and the placing of Commissioner Cope
land at the head of that department
would prevent the prompt completion
of the work of paving Fifth street,
from Wabasha street to Broadway. The
contract for the paving of the street
has been awarded to Hennessey &
Cox for some thirty odd thousand
dollars, AMI the work preliminary to
the paving is now under way.
P. NJ. Hennessey, one of the mem
bers of the firm, seen yesterday, said
that while the payment of the esti-
mates and contract would, no doubt,
be delayed by the complications which
would follow the ousting of the mem
bers of the board, the work of putting
down the pavement would not be in
terfered with so far as the firm was
concerned. The contract had been
awarded the firm by the city, and ev-
cry agreement made would be carried
out to the letter. The water board and
the street car people were hustling
their part Of the work along as well
as could be expected, and, unless
something unforeseen should interrupt,
the paving would be completed by
Sept. l.
A gentleman who has been interested
In several contracts with the city, in
speaking Of the matter last evening,
said there was no doubt but that there
would be endless trouble and litigation
over the recent change in the board Of
public works. Contractors were in the
habit Of having their estimates pass
ed by the council and then as soon as
the assessments were completed by the
board Of public works the banks would
advance money on the estimates. In
the case of a number of city contracts
now under way the assessments had
not been completed and consequently
the money with which to pay the esti-
mates of the contractors was not on
hand. The question as to the consti-
nationality of the new law would re-
suit in the assessments being complet-
ed by the old board who will still con-
tinue to transact business, and also by
the new commissioner of public works.
The council, of course, would pay no
attention to the action of the old
board, and the property owners would,
he anticipated, pay little attention to
the assessments completed and con-
frmed by the new commissioner. The
result would be that number of the
parties holding contracts would be
forced either to stop work or pay ex-
orbitant rates Of interest for the money
with which to carry on the work. The
money, he said, would ultimately be
paid the contractors who had entered
into contracts with the city but the
question of just when was a guess. BY
a recent decision of the supreme court
ct has been held that a contractor was
entitled to the amount of his contract

closed last Friday. The seeming lack
Of interest, Mrs. Root said, was largely
owing to the fact that several pastors
who have been among it's strongest sup
porters are absent from the city on
their vacations. But since the report
had been published that the home was
to be closed she had received assur-
3ces which satisfied her that the
home can be kept open and it's good
work continued. II have found" said
the plucky little woman, that there
are enough people in st. Paul inter-
ested in the work-the need of which
everybody admits-to make it possible
to keep this home open, and we have
determined to do it,"
