CHIEF YATES TALKS.
He Approves the Recommendation
of Mayor Pau Concerning
the Force.
Favors Having a Police Constable to
Serve Civil Papers.

Chief Yates will continue at the
head of the police force until Nov.
lst. His service as chief of police has
extended for six years and a half, or
longer than any former chief that
Mankato has ever had II he has
not always carried out the policy de-
sired by the bulk of our citizens, 1T
has been because he has not had the
orders so to do. Under Mayor Pfaus
administration the chief OF police
will be given more discretionary
authority and held to higher RESPONSE
bility. Mr.. Yates has been very success
full in preserving order, as there never
was period in the city's history when
the streets have been as quiet as dur
ing the past six years. Violators of
the law have been arrested and evi
dence secured to successfully prose-
cute them.
Mr.. Yates will retire from his posi-
tion taking with him the best wishes
of our citizens generally, without
respect to party. He has not yet de-
cided what to do in the future, but is
seriously contemplating moving from
the city. Mr.. Yates was formerly
engaged in the mercantile business,
but is undecided whether or not to
Renter it.
In speaking with FREE PRESS re-
porter in regard to Mayor Pfau's re-
Communications, made to the council
Saturday night, Mr.. Yates said today:
"There is no reason why Mr.. Wagon
should not make an excellent chief of
police. He has proved friend to me
in the past, and only wish him sue
cess as my successor. The more COM
plete authority over the force under
him, to be given him by the mayor,
will prove of advantage. 1t is right
that he should: have such authority,
in order to bring the force up to it's
full efficiency.
"The recommendation of the mayor
that the chief of police should no
longer be a process server is right.
The serving of civil papers is a
nuisance, and none of the police
should be permitted to do it. The
fees are not great, but where there is
dollar to be made there is the
chance for favoritism. A police con-
stable, entirely apart from the reg
ular force, ought to be appointed
with the exclusive duty of serving
civil papers.
"The idea of having night captain
is all right if it will work."
Mr.. Yates expresses the highest ap
probation of the services rendered by
the present members of the police
force.

The adjourned meeting of the coun-
Gil Saturday night attracted a room
full of spectators. Mayor Pau pre-
sided and all of the aldermen were

out. The additional electric lights
were located, and some other business
of Importance transacted.

Police Appointments.

Mayor Pau said he had cOmmuni-
cation to make to the council in re-
gard to the police department. He
submitted the appointment Of Charles
Wagon to be chief Of police, the ap-
pointment to take effect Nov. 1st,
subject to the approval of the coun-
Gil. He also submitted the appoint
ment of Nicholas Thilgen as a police
man.
Continuing, Mr.. Pau said that he
had consulted with Mr.. Wagon and
contemplated making other changes
in the police force, perhaps. At Mr..
Wagons suggestion, he would like to
leave the balance of the changes for
another week. Mr.. Wagon had
thought that it wonld be best to have
the entire force go in at one time and
begin fresh. The mayor said that he
considered this to be very wise step,
as the chief should be the head of the
force in form and in fact. He said he
| would recognize any complaint against
the officers made by the chief and at
the latter's suggestion would feel
justified in removing any of the Of
ticers. The chief should have force
to work with him that will thoroughly
come up to the line. Mr.. Wagon
hoped to get the force in full working
order by Nov. 1st. Some changes have
been suggested and must be made.
The chief of police has been process
server or constable, which is all wrong
He should not accept fees from any
body, but should be salaried officer
which he is not under the charter.

this is a great advantage, as all pat
rons of bath rooms know.
We commend these bath rooms to
the public, with full confidence that
none who patronize them will be dis
appointed. The charges are reason
able, and very many have been
greatly benefited by the courses of
treatment. Very few cities have as
good rooms or as excellent manage
ment, and our people should appre-
ciate what opportunities they have.

DOMESTIC TIN PLATE INDUSTRY.
Secretary O'Beirne of the British EN-
bassy Collects Fncts.


bassy Collects Facts.
Hugh ]. OBeirne, second secretary of
the British embassy here. has made spe-
cial report to the British foreign Office on
the American tin plate industry, and it
has been issued from the foreign Office as
an official document. According to the re-
port, the United States tin plate industry
dates practically from the passage of the
Mckinley tariff act. at which time the
American market was wholly supplied by
South Wales. Mr.. O'Beirne traces the
gradual expansion of the industry in this
country, and the use of the domestic ar
ticle in place Of that formerly imported
from Wales. Summing up the situation for
the last calendar year he says:
1.-The position of the British export trade
may thus be summed up. The interior
market was, as whole. lost to British
exporters, but the meat packers continued
to use a certain number of drawback
plates. and there was still limited con-
sumption of British plates for certain spe-
ciai purposes.
Under existing rates of duty. therefore"
the report proceeds, land at present prices.
the only section of the American market
in which British plates of ordinary grades
Exclusive of drawback plates) can con-
tinue in the long run to compete is the
Pacific coast market, representing an an
nual consumption of about 50,O0O,0OO
pounds. Iii other portions of the United
States the only importations that can be
expected is of a limited number of special
brands suited for special purposes. And
this limited Importation can only last SO
long as the demand Is not of sufficient i'm
portance to induce native manufacturers
to make the necessary arrangements for
producing the special qualities of tin plate,
which they are undoubtedly able to do
Mr.. OBeirne points out that the Ameri-
can tin plate industry is wholly dependent
for its raw material on foreign importa-
ton, as no tin has been produced for the
last four years from any Of the deposits of
tin in the United States. viz, South River
side. Cal: the Black Hills of South Da-
kota, the Cash mine In Rockbridge county,
Va, and at Kings Mansion, N. c.
In conclusion 1t is stated that, after a
strict examination. 1t appears to have been
demonstrated that for household or hard
usage the British tin outlasts the Ameri-
can product. 1t Is true the British tin is
not quite go bright, but 1t is far more dur
able. has a more substantial body, Is more
evenly rolled, does not aggravate the tin
working machines. on account of Its
smooth body. and does not rust SO quickly
For Timing purposes the American product
is as good as the British, the report says
but the latter is preferable at equal prices.
American tin plate Is brighter In color. but
1t has not that working body; as a rule
the coating is not SO evenly run, and does
not make Up as even and smooth as the
British article.
The statement Is made also that Italian
tin manufacturers have been making in.
