Humane Society in Need of Funds
Just Now.

Humane Society in Need of Funds
just Now.
To the Generous Public: The time has
the st. Paul Humane society. The long, hard
winter just over has been trying one to this
organization, its one special police officer
having been kept busy all the hours Of the
day and often until late at night alleviating
the disresses of the underfed, overworked,
unsheltered and otherwise cruelty treated
dumb animals. The educational department,
the inoulcation Of kindness to the dumb crea-
tures has received special attention in the
Monroe schools, and the brave deeds done by
the children who are enlisted in the cause Of
mercy, would already make an interesting
volume. A number Of the clergy have cham
pioned the rights of the dumb in special hu-
name sermons. Gould the animals speak
there would be a mighty chorus Of thankful
Eess for the extra care given them
through the contributions to the humane So
ciety. The children that have been protected,
that have been warned from ways of sin, will
in years to come bless the institution that
turned them from the wrong.
We cannot retain our special officer with
out money. We cannot circulate the literature
that is daily needed without funds. We ask
your encouragement, the cooperation of your
pooketbook. Deny yourselves someth1ng (not
triviaD for the sake Of the helpless.
General Organizer Mrs. Ganse is again here,
at our earnest solicitations, and we bespeak
for her a kindly hearing and a generous re-
sponse.

BANKING METHODS
As Shown In a Civil Case Before
Judge Bum.

ms SAAOVvAA AAA
Judge Bum.
Minnesota Savings bank methods
seem to have been involved in an ac-
ton that came before Judge Bum this
morning, and which was on trial the
greater part Of the day. Albert H.
Bunde and his wife are the plaintiffs.
and the Minnesota Savings bank and
the Allemannia bank and their respec-
tive receivers are the defendants.
Plaintiff says that in March, 1896, the
Minnesota Savings bank proposed to
loan him $1,000, on the joint note and
mortgage of himself and his wife.
Deducting the expenses OF the loan,
there remained a balance Of $1,48760.
The savings bank agreed to pay a note
due from plaintiff to c.. Raschke, and
credit plaintiff with the balance. The
bank paid him $500 in cash, paid taxes
to the amount of $2S052. Bunde drew
checks on the bank to the amount Or
$159, making an apparent overdraft,
The bank never paid the Raschke
note. The bank charged Bunde $40
commission and $50 advance interest.
Plaintiff was not advised OF the com
mission until later. as he says, and al
leges that it, with the interest, makes
the note usurious and voidable. There
was an apparent default in the pay
ment Of the first interest coupon.
B1cKeIS statement TO plalnIlH is as
follows: Abstract, $40; commission.
$45; six months interest $50; cash, $500;
taxes paid, s2SO.5O; assuming Raschke
note, $500; bank account, $170; leaving
due Bunde, $21450. But Bunde has
statement, as follows: Cash, $500; at
torney's fees, $40; taxes, $3.50; checks
paid, $157.S0; total, 1882, leaving a
balance due him from Bickel of $751.6S.
This Bunde note was given by Bickel
to the Allemannia bank among other
collateral to- that bank, but was not
indorsed until the insolvency Of the
bank Mr. Bunde asks that the entire
transaction be found usurious, that the
proper Endorsements be made on the
note and coupons, and that the defend
ants be enjoined from selling or col
lecting or disposing Of the note. The
question before the court is: The note
having been indorsed after the suspen-
sion, is it not open to all the equities
Of the original parties. The court
found for the plaintiff.

w. +. BICKEL. THROUGH ATTOR-
NEYS, MOVES TO QUAsH AN IN
DICTlENT.
GRAND JURY POINT RAISED.
ALLEGED THAT 1T WAS NOT
PROPERLY EMPANELLED AND
ITS BILLS WORTHLESS.
Notion VIII Also Be Made to Quash
Other Indictments-One Case for
Trial.

When William F. Bickel appeared be-
fore Judge Lewis in the criminal court
yesterday to be arraigned on the in
dictment returned last Friday, charg-
ing him with receiving a deposit OF
$1,000 from Thomas F. Conroy, when
he, Bickel, knew the Minnesota Saw
ings bank to be insolvent, Mr.. Bickel S
attorneys, Barnard & Mcdonald, per
petrated a surprise. They moved to
Quash the Indictment charging Mr..
Bickel with embezzling promissory
notes in the sum Of $3.50. The motion
was made on the general ground that
the present grand jury, which returned
the Indictment, was not properly en-
panelled according to law, and upon
the further ground that John Lind
ouist. one of the grand jurors, was not
q citizen of the United States when
drawn, and, secondly, that he was not
a resident of Ramsey county and had
not lived in the state Of Minnesota for
four months Immediately preceding mis-
time of service as a grand juror, and
has been a resident of Los Angeles,
Cal, since November, 1895.
The affidavit in support Of the mo-
tion sets forth the allegation that the
grand jury was not properly empan
elled, as follows:
That the list of additional jurors filed by
the district court May 3 included a list of
only twelve names. and that the first eleven
names on said list were persons served to
fill the deficiency of said grand jury list,
and that the selection Of said additional jurors
from said deficiency list not made by
chance or lot, contemplated by statute, but
was an arbitrary list selected without au-
thority of law.
The motion to quash will be argued
before Judge Lewis Thursday fore
noon.
Mr.. Biokel's attorneys will also move
to quash the Lucius Indictment on the
same ground, if the court will permit
Mr.. Bickel to withdraw his plea of not
guilty to that Indictment. Application
for leave to withdraw the plea will
accordingly be made. The motion to
quash the indictments raised a nice
question for the court to decide, as the
county attorney will contend that Mr..
Rickel should have interposed his OBJ
jections to the grand jury at the time
that body was being empanelled.

Indictment charging him with rece1v,

NO WATER FOR THE PARKS.
Last Years Trouble Is Upon the
Park Board Again.

A quorum Of the park commits
sioners was not obtained last evening.
and at $50 the two members present
adjourned. Supt. Nussbaumer present
ed the following communication in the
shape of a special report:
Application has been made to the board Of
water commissioners for turning on the water
in the several parks, but for some reason the
water has not yet been turned on. AS the
weather is very dry the paintings and turf
suffer greatly from the want of water, some
of the sod is now much burned out that
resodding will be necessary, which will in
volve great expense, all the spring planting
trees and shrubs) entire loss unless
water is furnished at
Regarding approaches to Como park would
like to recommend that the subject OF re-
arranging the street railway tracks on Como
avenue according to the plan furnished last
year be taken up again and urged to compile
tion. Como avenue affords the only direct
route for a park drive from the downtown
districts. l have given this matter deal of
attention during this spring, but was not able
to find another for driveway to the park, as
all the other streets lead to the park In
roundabout way
Lexington avenue should be set aside for q
cross-town boulevard before improvements
are made along the avenue which in time
would be too numerous to overcome in wild
ening the street.
The labor force now employed consists of
1873 men and 10 teams, at an expense of $213.75
per day.
The widening of Como avenue, from Dale
to Union streets, is nearly completed, except
across the Northern Pacific right Of way.
have notified the company that the board is
now at work widening the street but have not
received answer. There are two small build
ings on the line Of the Improvement, and the
company has been requested to remove them
as per instructions Of the board. The new
pump house at Como park is nearly finished,
the total cost for labor and materials being
$4 $50. 1 submit plan for the Improvement
of Rice park, but would recommend that the
early in the spring for the reason that the
crowd Of people in the park at this time in
terferes with the work.
The superintendent explained that
last year the bill for water furnished
in the parks, with the exception Of
Como, amounted to $843, and that he
understood that the refusal of the city
comptroller to pay the bill was respon-
sible for the water not being turned
on this year. Assistant City Attorney
Phillips said he would see the comp
troller today and make arrangements
by which the claim Of the water board
would be adjusted.
The pay roll of the men engaged in
the parks for the two weeks ending
May 15, amounting to $439.83, was pre-
sented.
The city treasurer submitted receipt
showing that the street railway COM
pany had deposited with the city
$1,S48S8, which had been placed to the
credit of the park board. This amount
is for privileges at Como park, under
the contract entered into by the board
and the street car company.
