Police Have Lot Of Trouble Over
Haas Paper.
Three weeks ago a stranger giving
the name of Otto Haas, who claimed TO
be Norwegian, applied to N. F. Mel
son, of $50 Decatur street, for fur
nished room. He said he had no ready
money with which to secure room, but
possessed a certificate of deposit for
$3.50 on the ST. Anthony Falls bank, Of
Minneapolis. Nelson took Haas to the
butcher shop Of Ed Erickson, $40 De-
catur street, where, on explaining the
situation. Erickson advanced $40 to
Haas on the certificate. Haas went
away under the pretense of getting his
turk, but failed to again make his ap-
pea,ance. Erickson kept the certificate
for some time and then sent 1t to a
friend in Minneapolis to be presented
att the bank. When the friend took
the paper to the bank he was arrested
on the charge of having stolen it. He
declared his innocence and was brought
to st. Paul by Detective Stavlo, where
the manner Of receiving the certificate
of deposit was explained by Erickson
and his friends innocence esta blished
1t developed that the residence Of Otto
Haas. in Minneapolis, had been robbed
some weeks ago and that the certificate
of deposit had been stolen among other
valuables. The bank officials were
notified of the theft and instructed to
have the person presenting it arrested,
hence the predicament of Erickson's
friend. The fellow giving the GER
tifcate to Erickson, is believed to have
been the real thief

Sisters Fatally Burned In st. Paul
Park Fire.
The double funeral of the sisters,
Miss Lydia B * fischer and Mrs. Charles
Eichorn, who were burned to death In
the Eichorn residence fire at st. Paul
Park Saturday morning, took place in
the chapel of st. Pauls college at the
Park yesterday afternoon. 1t was a
sad occasion to those present, almost
all Of whom recalled q far different
gathering in the little chapel eight
years ago, when they gathered to wit
ness the first wedding that had taken
place there, that of Charles Eichorn
and Miss Anna Boettscher the latter
Of whom with her sister, were yesterday
silent in death. The dead sisters were
beloved by those who knew them in
life, and the heroic sacrifice Of the one,
in giving her life for her children and
the other, moved all Of their friends and
acquaintances to attend the obsequies
as a last tribute of love and respect
to two noble lives tragically ended
Rev. A. Funk, the presiding elder of
the German Methodist church in st.
Paul, delivered short address in Eng
lish, following Which Rev Charles
Hertzler, of st. Paups college, and
Rev. Mr.. Kopp, formerly of the college,
spoke to the sorrowing gathering in
German. After the chapel services the
funeral cortege accompanied the re-
mains of the sisters to ST. Paul on the
o'clock train, where carriages were
taken to Oakland cemetery where the
interment took place.
Before Mrs. Eichorn died, Saturday
afternoon, she regained consciousness
long enough to inform her sister, Miss
Minnie Boettscher, how the accident
occurred. She said she had been IRON
ing, using the oil stove to heat the
irons Her sister and children were in
the kitchen with her, and when she
tried to put out the stove after finish
ing her work, the flames communicated
to the oil receptacle, causing the ex-
plosion. Mrs. Eichorn started to throw
the stove out the window, as she no
ticed the flame still burning after the
was turned down, but it exploded be-
fore she could accomplish this purpose.
She then saved her children, throwing
them out the window and tried to save
her helpless sister but finding herself
powerless, ran in her own agony to
neighbor's for assistance.

said the union should not exceed tho
purpose for which it was organic

union met with disastrous fate, be-
cause it became mere machine for po-

lengthy discussion. it was decided not

WANT TEA WELL TREATED.
Chamber of Commerce Wants Puget

At the suggestion of 8. L. Moore, the
chamber Of commerce yesterday passed
the following resolution unanimously:
Whereas, BY an act Of congress, approved
March 2. 1897. regulating the Importation of
teas into the United States, the appointment
Of inspectors and deposit OF samples is au-
thorized for the ports Of New York, San
Francisco and Chicago and such other ports
as the secretary Of the treausry may deter
mine, and
Whereas, The importations Of tea through
the ports Of Puget sound are believed to have
been greater during the year 1895 than through
any other port, and,
Whereas, The omission to deposit samples
and appoint inspectors for the Puget sound
ports would greatly Inconvenience dealers in
tea in the Northwest and tend to reduce their
importations and ultimately to destroy their
Resolved, That the chamber Of commerce
Of the eityzo Of St Paul requests the honor

Will Try and Bring Convention Back
With Him.
Chief of Police Goss will leave for Chicago
tonight en- route to the biennial conven ton
of the Brotherhood of Railway Conductors.
which will be he'd at Los Angeles, CAL the
second week of this month. One of Chief
Goss' main purposes while at the gathering
Of railroad men viii be to endeavor to secure
the next brotherhood convention for St. Paul.
During his absence, Chief of Detectives
Sehweitzer VIII also act as chief of police.
This is something of a departure, as it has
heretofore been the Gus ON of the senior
captain to fill the position of chief in the alb
sence of the regular iccumbent. In that case
the office would fall to Capt. Charles Rouleau,
of the centra. station but the change is made
advisedly and with the full understanding
of Capt. Rouleau. Capt. Rouleau is on n ght
duty and is practically chief of police after
O'Clock in the evening in his present posi-
ton. His success in handling the city since
taking charge at the central station, Chief
Goss says, decided him to make no change
which would diminish the effectiveness of the
police department during the hours when
crime is most likely to show its head, and
so Capt. Rouleau will continue in his pres
ent position. Chief Schweitzer will be as
sisted in his double capacity by Lieut.. Boern-
er, Sergt. Frank Horn and Joseph Mounts,
Chief Goss' private secretary. Chief Goss
will be absent thirt. days. during which the
above arrangement will obtain.

BLES FORM AN AGGRESSIVE
ORGANIZATION.
FLY-BY-NIGHTs IN DIsFAvoR.
IRRESPONSIBLE INVADERS OF THE
TRADE TO BE SEVERELY DIS
CIPLLNED BY 1T.
Covering Both Cities, Are Repre-
scented in the Union From Its
Very Start.

The commission merchants Of st.
Paul and Minneapolis have perfected
an organization to be known as the
Twin City Commission Mems Protec-
tive association. The following letter
is being sent out to the trade:
To the wholesale and Retail Dealers:
In view Of the fact that the commission
men and re5ailers OF the Northwest have
suffered heavy losses by the two liberal cred
Its they have extended, we think the time
has arrived that we take such action as will
better the condition Of all parties concerned.
With this end IN view, we have established
the Twin City Commission Mems Protective
Association
1t IS well-kncwn fact that we have among
us a class Of people doing re all trade who,
upon the receipt OF any goods from Jobbers,
see fit to make claims of various natures Tor
every shipment they receive, either refusing
goods or making unreasonable deductions at
time of payment. We find upon investigation,
in many Instances, these claims are made by
dishonest merchants TO enable them to sell
goods at less price than their neighbors,
who pay their bills in full, and we ask the CO.
operation of the honest merchant 20 assist us
in placing this class CT People in their proper
li;gh. before all parties interested.
Positively no reba es will be allowed by
trave..ng statesmen but if for any reason it
should seem necessary to make claim for a
rebate on any shipment received, same must
be done Immediately upon receipt Of goods,
direct &c the house.
The charge Of car age is universal Gus
tom on all freight shipments except car lots.
We have found it necessary to adopt the
same system. Carriage will be charged on all
shipments after May l, 1897, and we know
will be cheerfully paid by all merchants in
this lire, knowing rs they do, the extremely
small profit REALIZED by the commission man.
also realizing that we are not asking mere
than jobhers in al! other lines. Any party
refusing TO pay car: age will be reported 10 the
members of this assoc alton and credit with
held, until same is paid IN full.
AS some unprnc.pled merchants often see
fit to refuse gooGs ordt red by them On ar
rival at their s. alton, various pretenses,
We wish to cali the attention of our friends
to the decision of the courts of every state
in the Union: That ownership. as we'll as
liability OF shipper, ceases on delivery of
goods to any common carrier, when receipts
are gwen by them for goods received in per-
feet order.
We, The undersigned. commission merchants
and jot.eTs Of fruits, We getabes, etc, in st.
Paul and Minneapolis members of this asso-
cation. hereby subscribe to the foregoing
rules:
