Today.

The board of managers of the state
yesterday and until late hour last
night, spending the entire time, so they
said, in the discussion Of routine busi-
ness. The accumulated budget Of bills
and pay rolls were approved, and sew
eral prisoners were paroled, while
others were given their final release.
The matter Of electing a superinten-
dent was not discussed, even infor-
mally, by the full board, but will be
this afternoon, by which time the other
business Of the institution will have
been disposed of. Today's meeting is
called for IL a. m. Supt w. E. Lee
stated last night there were no less
than eighteen candidates for the place
made vacant by his resignation.
Among these are known to be M. o.
Hall, of Duluth; Alphonse Barto, of st.
Cloud; w. H. Houghton, of Elk River;
James Compton, of Fergus Falls; ex-
Sheriff James H. Ege, of Minneapolis;
eX-Chlef OF Police James Hunter, Of
Farlbault, and others whose candi-
dacy has been unostentatious, but none
the less active.
The full board Is present, and the
erection tOuay VIII be closely contested,
undoubtedly. While there is no doubt
that the wishes of Gov. Clough will be
respected, if he expresses any prefer
ence, he seems to have held aloof from
the contest SO far, as there are so many
. candidates to antagoniZe by his strong
support Of any one that it becomes a
serious problem. He is supposed to be
friendly, however, to the man from
his own town, James H. Ege, who is
not only.a war horse Of the party from
away back, but has also been cut
adrift by the same wing of the party
which is forming committees of 100 and
the like. Whether this affection will
run to the extent of an election does
not appear in the cards as yet. Comp
ton is also in the same camp, as an
office holder at present
EX-Lieut Gov. Barto is also supposed
to be loyal to the present administra-
ton, so that Eyes claim in this re-
spect is not the only one.
None Of the gentlemen Of the board
would commit themselves last night,
perhaps on account Of the vigorous
buttonholing to which they were sub
jected after their liberation from the
regular meeting by the phalanx of anx-
ious candidates who awaited them in
the hotel office.

INVOLVES A CHECK.
Case of Mrs. Russell Against the Ger
mania on Trial.

Judge Willis was engaged yesterday
hearing the suit of Mathilda j. Rus
sell against the Germania Bank of st.
Paul, an action to have set aside a
mortgage for $1,S00 on the ground that
it had been given under duresS. The
complaint In the case was filed Mon
day, and the allegations contained
therein We're reported in yesterdays
G o e. But the complaint failed to
show what the original transaction
was that led to the giving of the check
and subsequently the mortgage. From
the evidence submitted in the trial, it
appears that Albert Russell, son Of
the plaintiff, had issued a check for
$1665 on the Bank of Minnesota The
person to whom the check was given
had it cashed at the Germania bank,
but when it went through the clearing
house it was returned, Russell not
having sufficient funds on deposit to
pay it.
Russell then brought to the Ger
mania bank check for a like amount
given by his mother on the First Ma
tional bank, and when this was pre-
sented through the clearing house 1t
was returned for the same reason that
Albert's had been. Mrs. Russell was
then sent for and informed that un-
less she made good the amount her son
would be prosecuted, so she gave the
mortgage for $1,000, the son having
enough in bank to pay the remaining
1855. Mrs. Russell now claims that
when she gave the check it was un-
derstood that it was not to be present
ed for payment, but was to be returned
to her. Albert, however, admitted on
the stand that he had not so informed

MOVEMENT DENIES SUCH A
REPORT.
HAS NOT BEEN APPROACHED.
HE PROPOSES TO STICK UNTIL THE
WORK OF THE COMMITTEE
ENDS.
HE MAY MAKE A MOVE TO-DAY
When Those Who Are to Select Pre-
cinct Members Have Been Chosen
by Him.

1t was expected that Kenneth Clark,
the chairman of the committee of
eighty" would name yesterday the
members of the committee of four to
be appointed for the purpose of select
ing precinct members to enlarge the
committee of eighty and extend it's
membership to all election districts in
the city. Mr.. Clark did not appoint
the committee, however, though he said
last night that he would in all prob
ability do so shortly. The committee
go appointed will proceed to work with
out delay, and as soon as it has ac-
COmplished the task of enlarging the
committee of eighty, Mr.. Clark will then
appoint the committee Of twenty-five,
which is to nominate complete
municipal ticket, to be submitted to the
general committee for it's action.
Mr.. Clark was much displeased with
the report of a morning paper, which
declared that he was growing tired of
his position as chairman, and intended
to resign it as soon as he could get
some one to take his place. Referring
to the publication in question, Mr..
Clark said:
"A morning paper says that I have
tired early in the fight. That is not
true l have not tired, and do not eX-
pect to get tired. 1 propose to stick
to the end, and to remain the active
head of the committee of eighty and
its extensions until the nominations are
made, and then l shall give way to
some practical organizer who has the
ability and experience necessary to
conduct a campaign successfully.
lack the requisite experience for that
work"
Mr.. Clark also denied that any pres
sure had been brought to bear upon
him by, the friends of candidates, with
a view to influencing his appointments
to the nominating committee. Nobody
had approached him about such a mat
ter. Furthermore, Mr.. Clark declared
that the members Of the committee
were working in complete harmony as
would be demonstrated soon.
The movement" added Mr.. Clark,
els going to stick. 1t is the general be-
lief that if nominations were made by
this committee and a vote taken to-
morrow, the result would be four to
one in the interest of good government.

CRIMINAL CASES CALLED.
Three Men Plead Not Guilty to In.
dictment,


Judge Willis yesterday called the
criminal calendar and set the various
cases for trial, some of them being
continued over until next term. The
criminal calendar is very light this
month.
Anthony FRANKIE, indicted on a
charge of assault in the first degree
for cutting John j. Flynn, the prize
fighter, was arraigned and pleaded
not guilty. He was sent back to Jail
to await his trial.
In the case of Anton Jordan. indicI-
ed in October last on a charge of as
suit in the second degree for shooting
boy named Lancaster who was steal
ing his melons. the county attorney
moved for a nolle, as the boy had re-
moved to New York with his parents,
and could not be secured to testify in
the case. The motion was granted
A nolle was also entered in the case
of G. H. Barr, indicted for keeping a
disorderly house, the Bodega This
was simply duplicate of the indict-
ment to which Barr preaded guilty last
Saturday, the diff ePences being
that in the original the location of the
place was given as Seventh instead of
Sixth street. The second one was
made out for the purpose of correcting
this, and was handed in Saturday
morning. AS Barr pleaded guilty to
the original without question, there
was nothing to do but nolle the Sec

HIS MIND HAS FAILED.
George L. Pierce Guided by n Mys-
teriOus Voice.

George L. Pierce, aged about sixty
years, was yesterday examined in the
probate court, and ordered committed
to the insane asylum. Pierce is I'M
married, and lived at boarding house
kept by Mrs. Whitcomb on Franklin
street. He seemed to be in perfect
health of body, but his mind has failed.
He was working for a milkman up to
a short time ago, and he told his en-
ployer that he was guided by a mys-
terious voice. He always did just what
he was directed by the voice to do. So
far the voice had told him the milkman
was a good fellow. The milkman
thought he did not care to take the
chances of a change in the opinion of
the voice, lest it should direct that
he be killed. so discharged Pierce.
Pierce would not get out Of his bed
at his boarding house, but had the
landlady send for minister to talk to
him. The minister came, and they had
an earnest conversation for a time.
When Deputy Sheriff Kinney called
Pierce had to be lifted out of bed and
dressed. When taken to the court
house he refused to walk up stairs to
the court room, insisting that he had
done nothing for which he should go
to court, and therefore he did not pro-
pose to walk to his doom. But he was
perfectly tranquil while two deputies
carried him up. He folded his legs to
keep them from touching the steps as
they proceeded. When he was being
taken down to Jail again he said he
had not walked up, and was not going
to walk down, so the deputies had to
carry him to the foot of the stairs,
whence he walked all right to the
1ail
