New Company Wants to Get Into St.
Paul ~SDeediIy.

New Company Wants to Get Into st.
Paul Speedily.
The assembly committee on streets held an
informal meeting last evening to discuss
the franchise to be granted to the Missis-
sippi Valley Telephone company. The new
company was represented last night by b. S.
G. Collins and A. H. Hazen, who had APP
peared before the council before in the in
terests OF the company, and J. H. Beck, Sec
rotary of the jobbers' union of this city.
Mr.. Beck stated to the committee that a
conference had been held between st. Paul
and Minneapolis jobhers with reference to
the telephone franchise which was now being
applied for in Minneapolis by the same COM
pany. The idea was that it would be an
annoyance to the public to have a system in
only one of the Twin Cities. Mr.. Beck said
poor as it could be, and a change would
certainly be welcomed. He knew Mr.. Hub
birger, who was behind the present company,
and also knew that the gentleman was in a
position to carry out all he proposed to do.
Mr.. Beck favored competition in the tele-
phone, business.
The ordinance, or rather a copy of the or
dinance and franchise, which is to be granted
to the company in Minneapolis, was read
section by section and discussed by the COM
mittee. After this had been done, it was re-
ferred to a subcommittee, consisting of AS
semblymen Thompson and Albrecht, and these
two gentlemen, with the assistance of the
corporation attorney, will prepare and submit
a franchise to the assembly at a special
h1CCIlb " NC lIClo az I'll q y NdIS'
Mr.. Hazen explained to the committee thai
it was necessary to have action taken by the
st. Paul council as soon as possible, as the
franchise would probably be passed by the
Minneapolis council Friday night. The council
had insisted or a provision in the franchise
which required the company to deposit d GER
titled check of S., 900, and accept the fran
chise within ten days after its passage by
the council. This being the fact, Mr.. Hazen
said it was necessary that the company
should know whether it was to obtain a
franchise in st. Paul, as it would be unwise
to operate a system in Minneapolis unless
they could also have one in st. Paul.
The company agrees to give each subscriber
in the business district within two miles Of
the central exchange a telephone for SIS
Per year, and in the residence district an
instrument ait $50 per year. They also agree
to allow the city telephones at half the price
now paid, and will, after 1900 subscribers
have been secured, pay into the treasury 5
per cent yearly on the gross earnings of more
than this number of phones. Mr.. Collins
stated that they would start out in st. Paul
with over 900 subscribers, and within a year
expected to have three times that number.

with eelat and without gloves by tho
amateurs. Prizes for the various sports are
pouring in on the committee on arrange

BEFORE JUDGE WALLACE.
Supervisors Will Have to Stand Trial
in Department 6, Superior
Cnurt.

Judge Seawell has assigned the suit OF
George X. Fitch 20 oust the Board OF
Supervisors from office to Judge Wallace s
department of the Superior Court for
trial.
The universal comment on hearing OF
the disposition OF the case yesterday was
something like this: "Well, Judge Sea-
we'll didn't do thing to the Supervisors.
There is difference Of opinion in re-
gard to how the vacancies would be filled
if the present board should be thrown out.
OF course it is case OF counting chickens
before they are hatcheo, but the present
condition Of the litigation permits of
speculation in regard to possible results.
the usual course heretofore followed
when a mem Der OF the board died or re-
signed was for the Mayor to appoint a
man subject to confirmation by the board.
If Mr. Fitch is successful in his present
suit ali the Supervisors would be out and
there would be no persons in power to
confirm the appointments of the Mayor.
This raises an interesting problem,
and it is the belief of good lawyers that a
special election would have to be called to
fill the offices, unless the Governor is able
10 dig up some law that will authorize
him in making the appointments.

WILL PATTERN
Upon PARKHURST
This City May Have an
Experience Similar to
New York.
An Alliance of Local Pastors
Now Under Progress Of
Organization.
A Meeting to Be Held at Which
Lines of Work Will Be
Planned.

A movement is on foot among the local
preachers to form Pastors Alliance, "
the object of which will be to organize
the pastors of the various churches to
work together for good citizenship.
These associations have already been
formed in many of the larger cities and
much good has been accomplished by
them.
The subject was first introduced here
by the Rev. Josiah /. Strong OF New York
at meeting held in the Y. M. &. A.
Auditorium.
The Rev. George c. Adams of the First
Congregational Church, Rev. DR.. Beard
of Grace M. E. Church and Rev. DR..
Coyle of the First Presbyterian Church
were appointed committee to perfect the
organization of the alliance. and meet
ing, to which all the local preachers will
be invited. will be held at the Y. NJ. Z. A.
on Monday, July 26, at 10 A. NJ.
Just what lines the organization will
work on has not yet been decided, but 1T
is proba bic that the plans in use in other
large cities will be introduced here. In
some cities digest of the State laws has
been carefully prepared by prominent
lawyers and printed copies circulated
were ignorant of law. Prominent in this
were The Laws relating to the duties of the
various municipal office holders and the
penalties for neglect Of duty. 1t is calcu-
la ed by this means to inform everybody
just what should be expected of those In
office when they are doing their duty and
when not, and who is responsible for q
lax enforcement OF the law.
Rev. DR.. Coyle thinks that an effort
will he made To work after the manner of
the famous Parkhurst Committee in New
York, and that similar plan OF cam
paign will be outlined at the mass-meet-
ing on Monday, but until that time moth
ing definite will be known.
Another plan is to instill into the minds
OF the officers the idea that the better class
OF people is with them and willing to help
them along when they discharge their du-
ties in proper manner and opposed to
and working against them when they side
with corrupt political rings.
VIII ther the new alliance will attempt
to legislate on the saloon question has not
been decided, but it is pro obable that after
the organization becomes strong con-
certed effort will be made to do away so
lar as possible with the Continental Sab
bath and make Sunday day of quiet and
peace.
The dividing OF the City into dis
tricts to be Systematically worked by the
various pastors is also one of the important
branches of work to be taken up by the
new organization.
