THEY BELIEVE IN LYScHISG.
Georgia Legislators Opposed TO a
Law Suppressing 1t.

Atlanta, Nov. 27.-A symposium of leg
lsiattve opinions on the questions of lynch
law in Georgia show that the members
look upon it as the normal result of the
crime which provoked it, and are opposed
TO Ia W proposing TO suppress Iynching.
on this line j. A. Boynton, one of the
leading members, and one Of the most
prominent men in Georgia, says:
'LynchiHg is tie result of combined
causes. The practice has more or less
prevailed in times OF popular excitement
The inpulsive characteristic of the Anglo
American makes lynching probable at any
time for atrocities, ana certain 81 the most
heinous crime so often perpetrated uLon
women and young girls.
Il think the Government is wasting ef-
fort to create a popular sentiment against
lynching when a woman has been as
saulted. It is loves labor lost; for lynch
ing is inevitable so long as the crime which
provORes it is committed. AlIlaws IN that
line put on the statute books fan stilIborn
and are dead before they are promulgated.
l say this because it is true
The other members argue along this line
and almost all oppose the stern policy out
lined by the governor and favor leaving
the matter alone.

vaclov vor1fcky Goes to the Capitol

Vaclov Vorlicky changed his working
clothes for his black coat and white
cravat, hied himself to the home Of
the little lady whom he has been
courting, and announced to her that
the happy day had at last come, and
he would go and get a license. Vaclov

intervals secures his license from the
state dairy department. SO there was

man in search Of license should go.

PASS UP THE ALDERMAN.
Eighth Warders Ignore Kaldunski
In Making a Protest.

Aldermen Sanborn and Allard, of
the license committee of the board Of
aldermen, held meeting yesterday aft
ernoon, and passed on a batch of appli-
cations for liquor licenses. A delegation
of citizens, from that portion of the
Eighth ward near st. Anthony avenue
and st. Adams street, were on hand to
protest against the granting Of the ap-
plication of M. Stahlmann for saloon
license at 744 ST. Anthony avenue.
A petition signed by fifty-six property
owners and residents was presented,
which protested against the license be-
ing granted. The grounds for the pro-
test were that the locality was solely
resident district, that it was only one
block from school building, that there
was no public necessity for saloon
at the point, and that 1t was contrary
to the public welfare, and particularly
to the interests of those living In the
locality. 3. K. Clymer, Frank Shoop
and T. A. Shirley, three of the petition
ers. were present in person and explain-
ed that the former proprietor of the
place had been obliged to close last
January, owing to there not being
enough trade to warrant his continuing
in business. Nearly all Of the ousto
mers, the gentlemen stated, were those
who drove to the saloon and none Of
the residents wanted the place open.

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

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 SO much burned out that
resodding will be necessary, which will in
volve great expense, all the spring planting
(trees and shrubs) an entire loss unless
water is furnished at once.
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
ton. Como avenue affords the only direct
route for a park drive from the downtown
districts. l have given this matter a 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 a
roundabout way.
Lexington avenue should be set aside for
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
1888 men and 10. teams, at an expense of $21375
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 an answer. There are two small build
ings on the line of the improvement, and the
company has been requested to remove them
per instructions of the board The new
pump house at Como park is nearly finished
the total cost for labor and materials being
81 63Q.. I submit a plan for the Improvement
of Rice park, but would recommend that the
work be postponed until late in the fall or
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 Is, amounting to $439.83, was pre-
sented.
The city treasurer submitted receipt
showing that the street railway COM
pany had deposited with the city
81, ,348S8, 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.

Nation VIII Also BE Made to Quash
Other Indictments-0neC Case Tor
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 deposit o;
81 200 from Thomas F. Conroy, when
he, Bickel, knew the Minnesota Saw
ings bank to be insolvent, Mr.. Bickel' 5
attorneys, Barnard & Mcdonald, per
petrated a surprise. They moved to
quash the indictment charging Mr.
Bickel with embezzling promissory
notes in the sum of $6,25O The motion
was made on the general ground thai
the present grand jury, which returned
the Indictment, was not properly en-
panelled according to law, and upon
the further ground that John Lind
Quist, one Of the grand jurors, was not
a 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 afndaVlt 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 8 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 was not made by
chance or lot as 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.. Bickels attorneys will also move
to quash the LuciuS Indictment on the
same ground. if the court will permit
Mr.. Biclel 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.
Rickei should have interposed his OBJ
jections to the grand jury at the time
that body was being empanelled.

asked what position the alderman Of

informed that the Eighth ward alder
man catered to the saloon people, and
for this reason nothing had been said
to him about the case.
The committee decided to report the
application and protest to the alder
men at their meeting tonight without
recommendation, and those opposed to
the granting of the license were direct
ed to be present at that time and state
their objections.
