ILL EGAL IMMIGRANTS.
A Mr.. GoIdner In Trouble with the
Government.

WASHINGTON, March 6.-Commis-
sioner General Stump, of the immigra-
ton bureau, has received details Of thu
capture in New York Of Pinkus Melach
Goldner who has furnished the depart
ment with it's first case under section s
OF the new immigration law, which
makes it misdemeanor to bring incl
igible immigrants into the United
States. Goldner is an American citi-
zen, and arrived on the Phoenicia on
March l, in company with a girl Of
eighteen and boy Of eleven, booked
as Eidel and David Goldner The girl
had curvature of the spine and a club
foot, and was otherwise deformed. It
was learned from the aunt of the girl
that she was not Goldner's daughter,
but that her name was Blauner, and
that her father and mother sent her
from Germany to get rid of her. 1t
was also asserted in the statement
made to the bureau that Goldner had
made business Of bringing deformed
and idiotic immigrants to this country
as his relatives, an American citizen
being able to bring in his relatives
under the law. His charge is said to
nave been $50 for each person brought
in. On the Phoenicia were also an i'm
beetle, blind and other ineligible per-
sons, whom it is alleged Goldner at
tempted to railroad through but the
number Of his relatives brought him to
grief. His case was put into the hands
Of the United States district attorney
in New York.

CRASH OF THE PARTITION WALL
Was the Beginning of the End of the
Block Facing jackson
Street.
FOR THE Schultz LOSSES.
CRASH OF THE PARTITION WALL

Ever since the fire which damaged
the Ryan annex occurred, there has
been heard an occasional criticism Of
the f1re department because the Schultz
block was not saved. A number Of
the occupants OF the block especially
have thought that the fire department
should have saved that structure. They
have talked the matter over with each
other until, it Is reported, they have
decided to formally call the attention
of the fire board to the matter and
demand an investigation. 1t is believed
to be doubtful If the board would take
any notice of such demand, as 1t was
clearly. evident to that body at the
time Of the fire that 1t was the good
work of the department that saved the
destruction of more property. It seems
that when the buildings were erected
the Orders Of the Ryan annex entered
the walls of the Schultz building. with
the result that, when. the portion Of
the Ryan block which was destroyed
gave way, the Orders fell, tearing out
a top portion of the wall of the Schultz
block. This Immediately made an
opening for the flames which began
eating their way through the top story
of the Schultz block and from that
down to the ground floor. 1t was the
construction Of the building which was
at the time regarded as being respon-
sible for the destruction of the block.
Some Of the members Of the fire
board have heard of 1the criticism of
the former tenants and W. o. Denegre,
the agent of the block but do not
think they are well founded. Every
city, not matter how complete It's equip
ment, is liable to have heavy fires at
some time or another" said one of the
members of the board yesterday, land
it is not the fault of the fire depart
ment. 1 was at the Ryan fire and am
| convinced that everything possible was
done to save that building"
Chief Jackson's term of office expires
this month, and whether or not a
formal complaint is laid before the
commissioners in reference to this fire,
it is understood the chief will be re-
elected for two years. This action will
probably be taken at the meeting next
Tuesday, If President Freeman, who is
now in Boston, returns by that time.

HOW WAS 1T DEC. PIT
Question of SOlvency of Bank Of
Minnesota.

Minnesota.
The hearing in the matter of the ap-
plication by the depositors Of the Bank
Of Minnesota for the return Of all de-
posts made on Dec. 81 was resumed
yesterday before Judge Bum. The
forenoon was devoted to reviewing tes-
timony necessary to the tracing OF
checks. The afternoon was spent In
argument of the issues.
The main question at issue was
whether the Bank of Minnesota was
1nsolvent on Dec. q, and. if so, whether
the officers of the bank were aware
of its condition. Mr.. Lightner, who
appeared as counsel for the receivers,
objected to the attorneys for the de-
positors taking advantage Of the re-
ce1verS admission in a. certain pro-
ceeding that the bank was insolvent
on Dec. %, to assume and declare that
the bank was insolvent on Dec. q and
on all prior dates as far back as Aug
Cst. Mr.. Lightner pointed out that no
evidence had been taken or proof OBJ
tanned showing insolvency on Dec. %
1t had simply been admitted for
specific purpose
Judge Bum was disposed to agree
with Mr.. Lightner- that the receivers
admission of insolvency on Dec. p
could not be made use of by the de-
positors for the purpose of the present
proceedings. %-t4
At $3.50 p. m. E. S. Durment repre-
senting certain creditors, began his
argument. AT 5 p. m. court adjourned.
The hearing will be resumed and in all
probability be finished before judge
Bum next Saturday. ~
Among the attorneys present in be-
half of the creditors were:ie Chris
O'Brien, E. S. Durment r. 2 X Palmer,
r. b. Kellogg and b. j. Stanton.
