To the Editor Of the Evening Journal.
Sir; am sorry that l must ask your
indulgence to enter respectfully, but
very earnestly, a protest against some
lines in verse that appeared in yester-
days Journal anent The presentation 10
The gunboat Wilmington. The lines 10
which / object especially are these:
And what is it to you
Whether we are drunk or sober,
Or lay off a day or two?"
and
Nov that the thing is over,
We require a glorious spree"
/ can hardly express the deep regret
that is felt by many beside myself that,
in connection with an attempt to mag
Nifty our fair city, any of our public
journals shouldhave set solight ava,ue
upon sobriety of conduct. You may sag
that / ann taking this jeu desprlt too
seriously. But, my dear Mr.. Editor, it
is by just such trifing with the sub
ject that many minds are blunted as
to their sensibility or regard to this
most serious. nay, awful matter.
let me hope that cur gallant visitors
will not go away with the idea that
such suggestions as are contained in
the lines quoted are universally preva-
lent in this community Many of us
feel that "a glorious spree" is not only
not necessary, but most reprehensible;
and that it is a matter of very great
concern whether people are drunk OF
sober, and, by reason Of drunkenness
lose any time that should be de-
voted TO that which is manly and repu-
table. l am writing as briefly as ! can
amid pressing engagements, but | can
not foIbear entering my solemn protest
against what / think is so very C1jec-
tionable and so prejudicial 10 our city's
fair fame. LEIGHTON COLEMAN.

secretary was instructed to answer it
appropriately.
Rev. r. B. Cowgirl, of the committee
on education, made a report recon-
mending the Methodist schools and
Hamline university for stronger sup
port, urging the collections for educa-
tional institutions be made as large as
possible. The report recommended DIR.
Bridgeman as president of Hamline.
The report was adopted and DR..
Rridgeman accordingly elected the
head of the institution.
The report Of the conference COM
mittee on the organization of a con-
ference Epworth league, reported the
nomination of the following officers:
President, F. A. Cone; vice presidents,
J.. A. Willsey, Miss May Haine, j. A.
Van Dyke, j. A. Sutton; secretary,
Miss Eleanor Armstrong; treasurer,
Miss Gertrude Williams; junior super
intendent, Miss Alice Brown. On mo-
ton. the entire report was adopted by
the conference as recommended.
This afternoon the preachers. of the
conference went out on a river ex-
custom on the steamer Robert Harris
and two pleasure barges.
This evening Rev. MANLY S. Hard,
D. D., made an eloquent address to a
large audience in the church. on the
IL.
easion was the anniversary evening of
the church extension society.
The bishop and members of the aug
ust cabinet did not go out on the ex-
cursion this afternoon, but continued
their session at the handsome resi-
dence of Mathew Norton. The work
of the cabinet is reported as a little
behind, so that the list of appoint
ments, for which the preachers are an
xiously awaiting, will not be read I'M
til noon on Monday
Rumors on good authority have it
that all presiding elders will remain
| as at present. Samuel Elery, Of
Owatonna. will likely be sent to Gin
ton Avenue church, St. Paul; G. E.
Lane, of Kansas conference, who for
four months has been at Mankato
church, will probably either stay there
permanently or be sent to Central
Park church, St. Paul If he is not,
then Rev. Wilkinson, of the Iowa con-
ference, will probably go to Central
Park to form there an institutional
| church, at which work he is very sue
cessful. E. L. Ferris, of Cannon Falls,
will be sent to one of the Minneapolis
! churches. The bishop is very conser-
vative and opposed to any changes ex-
cept such as seem very necessary.

FORGERY ALSO CHARGED.
New Arrests in the West Superior
Case.

SUPERIOR, Wis, Oct 1.-Two addi-
ticnal warrants have been issued for
the arrest of Martin Kornstad, member
of the town board of Supervisors.
Kornstad had been arrested charged
with malfeasancel in office the allega-
ton being that he was interested in
town road contracts while acting as
member Of the town board The case
came UP and the defense filed an aft.
e dayit for a change of venue. The
hearing will be held Oct. 49, The new
warrants for Kornstad charge forgery
and malfeasance in office. John Haug
is the complaining witness in both
cases. He alleges. that, on June 81.
Kornstad uttered against the town Of
Superior, in Haug's name, a claim for
Sis. The complaint Of malfeasance in
office is similar to the first case, charg-
ing that Kornstad, while a member of
the town board and acting in his Of
fetal capacity, acquired a pecuniary
interest in town road contracts 1t is
shown that orders on the town treas
urer were ostensibly signed by Haug,
and he denies all knowledge of them,
and orders were also issued in favor OF
Haug on the vouchers for which Korn--
stad apparently forgot he was not
Haug. On these, though made out in
the body for Haug. the signature is
by Kornstad In 1896 some $1,143 was
drawn on orders apparently signed by
Haug, who affirms that he received no
more than 1907 for his summers work
1t has been known for years that
there was crooked work in the business
of the township, and it is now believed
that $100, 600 or more has been stolen.

PARK BOARD FINANCES.
They Prevent the Purchase of Fur.
Their Park Property.

The finance committee of the park board
held a meeting yesterday at which the COM
mittee reported the abandonment of proceed
lngS in the condemnation of the tract of
ground at the intersection of Kenwood park
way and Henepir avenue. The price asked for
the strip of land was 1850, which the COM
m.ttee deemed too high a figure. Secretary
Ridgeway read a proposition from R. L..
Pratt, in which the latter offered to sell the
board a piece OF land on Plymouth avenue
north for park purposes, but the committee
thought best to have nothing to do with the
offer so long as the financial condition of
things does not improve.
The secretary submitted to the committee
his report of the result of investigation
which he instructed TO make at the last
meeting. The amount realized from fines
assessed in the municipal court for the vio-
latiOn of Park ordinances has always gone into
the general city fund. The park board thinks
used in defrayif1g the running expenses of the
park system and Superintendent Rdgeway
was instructed to examine the records and see
what could be done. He submitted figures
showing that since 1889 the amount of fines
collected in the municipal court from vio.ators
OF park ordinances is 81 809.50. The committee
will report the matter to the board asking
that it take some action in endeavorinS to
recover the amount.
1t was decided to reduce the insurance on
two Of the toilet rooms at Minnehaha park
from 81 600 each to $780, A reduction will also
be mada on the dredge at Lake of the Isles.
1t is row insured for $4,000. The new policy
will call for $4,000.
Secretary Ridgeway submitted a batch of
were passed by for lack of funds. They will
come up at the next regular meeting. The
secretaTy's report showed the balance on hand
to be 81, S52.74, with deficit of 81, 489.61.

refusals He said that he wanted
something more than an isolated bone
in order to positively state its proba-
BILE nature and connection. While the
witness felt sure in his own mind as
to the identity of the bones, yet he did
not propose, he said, in case involv-
ing so much and while he was under
oath, to positively state that these
bones were absolutely what he thought
they were. He did not believe in Off
hand guessing, and thought any ex-
pert should be granted time to make a
thorough investigation
Prof Eckley, instructor of anatomy
and physiology of the college of physi-
clans and surgeons. the Northwestern
university and the University of ILL
nois, proved to be the most entertain
ing witness produced today The pro-
fessor is the possessor of peculiar
voice. Ex-Judge Vincent handed the
witness bone and asked; rs that a
human bone?" L am unable to say,
replied the expert
what is this bone?" asked the law
yer, passing up another bone.
'It is the articular surface Of the
head of a bone. I am unable to say
whether human or from a lower ami
NAL"
Have you examined this bone
hand you
Il have"
rs it human or not?'
Il could not possibly place that bone
in any animal to save my soul. 1t
would require the most absolutely ex-
travagant speculation to do So.
This profound and scholarly admis
sion created roar Of merriment,
which which the court baiiiffs found
some difficulty in restraining. Assist
ant States Attorney McEwen pro
duced further laughter by gravely re-
questing the court to strike the soul
from the record.
A photograph expert brought to the
court room today a score of receiving
cyclinders and a vast bugle-shaped
tube This was trained upon the wit
ness stand. and, by reluest Of
counsel, witnesses will speak loud and
clear in the future. In short time
