COMMITTEE WILL INVESTIGATE
CHARGES AGAINST THE BOARD
OF EDUCATION.
BOARD SEEKS VINDICATION.
WILL DO ALL IN ITS POWER TO
AID IN THE PROPOSED IN
CURRY.
SOMEBODY MAY GET scoRCHED
If Alleged Attempts at Bribery Are
as Charged-BilIings, Letter
in Evidence.

The scandal in the board of education
is to be investigated. This was the
conclusion arrived at yesterday after
about an hour had been spent by the
mpromptu inquisitors in an effort to
explain to the committee from the
board how difficult and unsatisfactory,
not to say dangerous, the proceeding
might become. An effort will be made
to induce all the persons in any way
interested or cognizant of the alleged
attempt to bribe members of the board
OF education to come and tell what
they know. The testimony is to be re-
corded by a stenographer and a re-
port will be made to the board of the
testimony taken and the conclusions
of the committee, if it feels called upon
to draw conclusions, which, in the opin-
ion Of the members of the committee,
as expressed yesterday, it will not do.
Pursuant to the adjournment of the
meeting held on Friday the parties in
interest began to assemble at the rooms
of Fred B. Snyder, in the office of the
Savings Fund company Temple court,
about 4:3O O'Clock yesterday.
Mayor Pratt presided in an informal
way, and the talk was conversational,
rather than informal throughout. The
three inquisitors had held a confer
ence and discussed the task before
them, and City Attorney Simpson was
delegated to tell the members Of the
board of education present what their
view Of the matter was. After a COM
plete discussion Of the matter, in which
the members Of the board expressed a
desire for a full investigation, Aid.
Snyder drafted a motion, which
was read and adopted. It accepts the
invitation Of the board Of education to
Investigate the charges Of attempted
bribery on the part of the Sturtevant
Heating and Ventilating company in
high school, Minneapolis.
The matter of giving notice to the
several witnesses to appear was dis
cussed. 1t was at first suggested that
Clerk Marchbank, of the board Of ed
ucation, should serve the requests upon
the several parties. Then Mr.. Simpson
concluded that this might smack of
irregularity, and he would prefer to
have the requests made by the inves-
tigation committee. The newspapers
were requested to state that any per-
son having any knowledge upon the
matter as stated in the resolution would
confer favor by stating it to the COM
mittee at the hearing. Owing to the
large amount of business which County
Attorney Nye had on hand for this
week the hearing was set for Saturday,
March II, at o'clock, in the rooms
of the board Of education, at the new
court house and city hall.

BILLINGS WROTE A LETTER.
1t Plays an Important Part In the
Bribery Suit.

The cross-examination Of Col. w. e.
Dodge was continued in the Billings
perjury case yesterday when court
opened. The witness commenced by
stating that in looking over an old
letter book he discovered that in 1898
he had had some correspondence with
Billings relative to another case in
which he was interested. He was re-
quested to produce the letter book,
and said he would do SO as soon as
he could look it over. Col. Dodge
first saw Billings after the trial at
Buffalo, about Dec. 27. Mr.. Larrabee
called up a few "pleasantriese" to the
witness to fix the fact in his mind that
Billings was in the Office Chritmas
eve. These details were called to Lar
rabe's attention by Billings, who sat
right behind him. Witness denied hav-
ing seen Billings Christmas eve.
The witness stated that when Bill
ings came to his Office, Dec. 27, not
a word was said relative to the Will
mar cases. Billings, he said, had told
him that Larrabee had prepared con-
tracts to be presented to those about
to bring suit. On the 30th the report
was made on bit of paper, which
had since been lost. The report, how
ever, did not relate to Larrabee. Early
in January Billings had turned up"
again in the Office at a time they were
uiSCuSSiHS the SnOQln case. ShOdfn
was injured in the Melby wreck He
had brought suit through Mosness &
Gregory, and the case was settled.
The witness said Billings had claimed
to give him information regarding it.
and that Shodin was practically
well man. He was, according to the
witness, 'a travelling man; what we
called a hobo"
Witness admitted paying Billings $50
Feb. g.
Joseph r. Howard, claim agent of
the road, was then put on the stand.
Mr.. Howard bore in his inside pocket
the letter which Larrabee had been SO
anxiously inquiring about.
The letter, which created a genuine
sensation, was admitted in evidence as
follows, and was listened to with
breathless attention by the crowd,
which had thronged the court room
during the forenoon.
j.. R. Howard, Claim Agent Great Northern
Railroad, st. Paul: Dear Sir-I called, as
you requested. at Col. Dodge's Office, in re-
gard to our business matters and he told me

in the letter."

reply. You know, Of course, what Is

beyond this Howard would admit moth

There was little of Howard's testi-
mony beyond that relating to the let
ter. He corroborated evidence that
had been given by the prosecution in
other respects, and had received the
letter in question. At the close of his
evidence a witness who was material
In the case had not returned, and an
adjournment was taken till Monday

APPROPRIATE TO LENT.
Morning of the CrucifxiOn on Exhi-
bitiOn at s. e. OIsOu,s.

Again the s. E. Olson company comes
forward with proposition to entertain
the public, this time with one of the
master pieces of art. the realistic and
sublime painting, entitled '"The Morn
ing Of the Crucifixion," by Ashley D.
M. Cooper. This wonderful work of art
will be on free exhibition at the big
store for a short period, beginning
Monday, March 16. 1t is valued at
$4,000, and is 13 feet high by II wide.
1t presents to view twenty-six figures
and faces. The central figure Is Christ,
life-size, the characters in the fore
ground being of heroic size. It is
creation which holds all spectators
spellbound, and is an inspiration to
the scholar, student, theologian or re-
ligionist. The picture will be exhibited
in an improvised auditorium. The pic
ture occupies the stage, which will be
beautifully and appropriately deco
rated. At either side hang elegant
black draperies of the richest design.
The contrast throws the picture into
bold relief. Beautiful electric light eff
fects have also been arranged.

RAID ON BLACKVILLE.
Police Capture Nearly a Score of Al
legged Gamblers.

A profound agitation stirred circles
in local Blackville last night and the
excitement was unallayed at an early
hour this morning. The police de-
scended on the alleged Monte Carlo of
the city, and upwards of 100 represen-
tatives of the colored class were caught
in the meshes. Many were allowed to
leave the place unmolested, but nine
teen were taken in custody and re-
moved to the central police station.
The premises raided is situated at
219 Hennepin avenue. During the cold
season the building has been without
a tenant, being occupied previously for
dwelling purposes, and the police sus-
picioned Wrong-doing since the colored
fraternity moved there last week.
They were banded together under the
name Of the North Star Social club,
duly incorporated, and moved from 325
Hennepin avenue. When in the latter
number the police were tireless in their
efforts to secure entrance to the place
without the knowledge of the inmates,
but the thorough system of electric
bells rendered theiT labors unavailing.
When the move was made to PIG Hen
nepin avenue, hope was strengthened
that the drag-net be successfully
worked. Through creditable maneu-
vering the result was ACCOMPLISHED.
The police contingent was composed Of
Sergeants Leonard, Mealey and Void,
and Patrolmen Russell, Averille Mar
tin, Novack and Fleming. The men ar
rested gave the names of James Mon
itana, s. G. Chisholm, George Harris,
