No OFFICE FOR HANEY.
Ex-CIerIt says He Would Not Accept
the COmptrOIIerShip.

Charles F. Haney handed tc the
Tribune last night a statement to the
effect that he was not a candidate for
the Office Of city comptroller, and
would not accept such Office if he was
elected thereto. This Mr.. Haney was
led to do through the publication and
exposure of q scheme to place Mr..
Haney in that office. Mr.. Harey's
statement is as follows:
ITO the persons and papers who at
tempting to influence public sentiment against
me and prevent, if possible, my securing
fair and speedy trial, I desire to state that
am not a candidate for the office of city
comptroller, and would not accept said office
if elected. 1 only ask what is my constitu-
tional right to expect a suspension of judg-
ment by the people until | have fair trial.
The desire on the part Of a few persons that
/ should leave this city forever may not be
realized but the cause Of their great anxiety
may some day be known. The election Of
my friends to the Office of comptroller or any
other public office Will not right the wrong
that has been done me by those whose acts
have been prompted either by ignorance
malice or enmity. jealousy or criminal intent.
Some one has said that God and one man are
a majority against the world With such
assistance l hope to live long enough to see
some wrongs righted In such effort | should
have the assistance of all honest men. What

KINDLY RELIEVED NELSON.
For His Act Theodore Olson RepOses
Behind Bars.

Theodore Olson was placed in a cell
at the central station by Inspector John
Morrisey last night, and the charge Of
grand larceny was preferred against
him. From what the police say about
Olson, he has been doing considerable
crooked work of late.
The man was arrested last night in
the vicinity of Nineteenth avenue
north and Second street. Last week
he is said to have stolen a bank book
belonging to Louis Larson, living in
the same neighhOrhOod. The book
showed Larson to have to his credit
$40 in the Farmers and Mechanics
bank. Olson went to the saloon of
Samuel Olson, at 1926 Cedar avenue,
presented the book, and, upon the rep
resentatiOn that be was Larson, sue
ceeded in borrowing 500 from Nelson
As the book had not been reported
stolen by Larson, Nelson made three
trips TO the bank before the theft had
been discovered. Olson is also alleged
to have stolen an oVercoat Of the value
Of so from Larson. Another theft
charged up to him. is that of a fur
cVercOat, valued at $45, from Ole Muel-
Ter, residing near Larson. He is said
to have paWned this OVercoat at Wes-
mans shop, where the officers recover
ed it. Olson is known to the police.
He was out Of the city for some time,
but returned three months go. He is
a painter by trade.

THE PAYMENT OF TAXES.
L. C. SeeIey Discusses Legislation on
the Matter.


the Matter.
L c. seeley, discussing the various bills
that have been and are before the legisla-
ture pertaining tC the devising of some
method that would simplify the payment of
taxes, says:
1.-TWO years ago representing a committee
of taxpayers from the board of trade and real
estate board l went before the senate com
mlttee on taxes with the features of a bill
which were then believed to be to the best
interests Of the taxpayers of the state. The
features conform to the best tax laws and
OF those recently adopted by the state of
Washington, which undoubtedly has the best
OF any state in the Union. The plan that
seemed best was the semi-annual payment.
This, however, will furnish but little relief to
the taxpayer short of funds. 1t will be taken
advantage of by all. including such as have
money. 1t affords but little relief to one
who cannot pay, as the penalty Of 10 per
cent on the whole amount JAM 1, and per
cent June l will be then the same now.
The other bill was introduced by Senator
Potter Feb. II last While this bill does not
provide for rebate upon taxes paid previous
to June l. which believe to be an important
feature, if it could be amended to pro-
vide for a rebate of per cent on taxes paid
during February and IL per cent for taxes
paid during March, and 1 per cent for taxes
paid later, it would be a desirable
feature, as experience shows that it
brings in an amount of money to the regular
experienced force of the treasury, instead of
the great bulk CT taxes due being paid in
May which from the very fact that such
amounts paid in the treasury are deposited
in the banks results in great loss to the city
and state.
The feature of the bill introduced by Sen
ator Potter, providing for a penalty of l per
cent a month after June l. including the
month of December, gives the taxpayers
great benefit over the law specified in the bill
providing for semi-annual payments. For
it is proven by experience that there are
those who unable to pay the whole or
even if it were possible by monthly install
ments with a penalty of but / per cen. 4
month attaching. Another feature IF the
bill is that if his taxes have not been paid
he is not obliged to redeem the taxes from
the hu'der Of the tax certificates and he is
not obliged to pay but per cent a month
and per cent penalty if he :edeams his
taxes from a certificate holder during the
month, he is obliged t. pay pro rata The
feature of this bill is that the taxpayer can
pa" for any year at any lime.
Mr.. Seeley stated that the TaXpavnrs
league of Minneapolis, well as OF st, Paul
would undoubtedly take some action in
gard to the merits of the bill which would be

THAT POSTAL CARD.
l.. VI. Stewart Brands the Writer as
Assassin.


L. NJ. Stewart, speaking in reference
to the postal card presented and read
iii the city council Friday evening. re-
fiecting upon the condition Of his side
walk, had the following to say:
I notice in the report CT the city
councils proceedings that Aid Elliot
handed to the clerk a card he had re-
ceived and which he desired read. 1t
bore no signature, and was as follows:
Elder Stewart says there is not brains
enough in the city council, city attor-
ney's office and all the citys depart
nlents to frame an ordinance that can
compel him TO keep his sidewalk free
from snow and ice. Can this be true?
The communication was referred to a
special committee consisting of the
committee on ordinances, city engineer
and city council as to the truth Of the
remarks credited to me.
This same card had been pre-
viously carried to nearly every daily
paper in the city with the request that
1t be published. AS it had that never
failing sign of a cowardly sneak-no
signature-the newspapers, before pub
fishing, sent reporters to me to learn
If the statement had been made by
me. / told them that there was no
truth in the statement, and the papers
refused to publish the card. I told them
that the officers Of the city had been
to see me about cleaning off the snow
and ice, and that I had stated to the
officers that in my opinion it was the
duty of the city to keep the sidewalks
clear for the use and benefit Of foot
passengers, just as much as it was to
keep pavements clear for the use Of
carriages; that the sidewalk was just
as much a part of the street as the
carriage ways, and that If it belonged
to the owners CT the abutting property

Members OF the Club Enjoy boxing
Entertainment.

The programme for last evening at
the Commercial club was enjoyed by
quite as large q number Of citizens as
any Of the preceding ones. That
there is no sign of waning interest is
due to the intelligent judgment dis
played in the selection of talent for the
occasion. This was particularly true
last night Nothing but the leading
talent of the two cities in their respec-
tive lines appeared. Considerable Of
the evening was devoted to exhibitions
in athletics, but no minute Of the time
was wasted.
-Four three-rOund bouts were given,
the principals being Prof Hasten and
J. w. Florence, of St. Paul; George
Webster and CASTOR WOodard George
Henry and the Yellow Kid, from St.

Of st. Paul, all of which were scientific
and sufficiently exciting for the ordi
nary citizen. There were two Wres-
Ting bouts, the contestants being
George Webster and CASTOR Woodland,
and Frank Guiwits and Herbert Allen.
A clever acrobatic exhibition was given
by the Bernhart brothers.

C0BB'S ISLAND,
A Summer Resort rs Being Swallow
ed Up by the Ocenn.

Cobb's Island, six miles off the Vir-
ginia coast, in the Atlantic ocean, a
resort for Baltimore and Richmond
people, seems to be doomed to total
destruction, says a Richmond, Va.
special to the Washington Star. For
several years the area of the island
has been encrOached upon by the sea.
and since the heavy storm of Septem-
Der last, that submerged the island
and wrecked the main hotel, the disin-
tegration has been rapid, and now the
hotel, the Norfolk cottage, the pretty
Methodist church and several other
cottages are in the surf The captain
of the life-saving station says the fate
of the island is sealed, and there is no
longer any doubt that it will be sWal-
lowed up by the fury of the waves.
The theory that the action of the sea
in time would form a sand bank on
the eastern side of the island has long
since been exploded. The cottages Of
Mr.. Ashby Jones and Rev. Thomas
Dixon and the life-saving station are
about the only buildings standing
above the surf line. The life-saving
station was moved back a short time
ago, and is now within less than POO
feet of the surf
