Twelve Cases on the Tab Before
judge TNOhy.

The action Of the police department in
furthering the crusade against the irrepressi-
bic scOrcher was apparent in the municipal
court yesterday, when twelve wheelmen and
one wheelWoman were arraigned on the charge
of violating the bicy Gle ordinance. Most of
the offenders were accused of scorchng
while some had fallen into the clutches OF the
law for riding prohibited sidewalks. To
a combination of scoreher and sidewalk rider
in the person of Louis Veiderhofer a young
man in the employ of the Standard Oil COM
pany of Minneapolis, Judge Twohy meted- cut
the severest punishment, imposing upon him
a fine of $25, or, in default of payment, thirty
days in the workhouse. Veiderhofer was ar
rested on the University avenue bridge over
the railroad tracks, near Prior avenue, Sun
day afternoon, it was claimed, riding on the
walk reserved for pedestrians, at a rate Of
thirty miles an hour.
At the conclusion Of the hearing, Judge
Twohy said: 80
This is the worst case which has come
before the court According to the testimony
guilty not only @of violating the ordinance
against fast riding, but also of riding on the
sidewalk. He cannot give the excuse that
he did not know that it is unlawful to ride
upon the sidewalks, for he is not allowed the
use OF the walks in Minneapolis under any
circumstances. ! will fine him SIS, in de-
fault OF which he stands sentenced to thirty
days in the workhouse."
Miss Florence Kent was arrested for rid
ing on the sidewalk on Hastings avenue. Her
father appeared for her In court and stated

done him a great injustice by giving
out that he had evaded the matter
of appearing before that body He
would have gone cheerfully, he says,
if he had been called on.
The wording Of the report of the
Mountain Iron Committee said Mr.
Marble the other day, was such as
to convey the impression that l had
run away to escape giving testimony
I did nothing of the kind. 1 gave my
testimony two years ago, and would
have done so this year just as cheer
fully as did then, if l had been called
on. / expected to get word to appear

MEN SHOULD HAVE Schultz
BLOCK CONTRACT.
DIFFERENCE A MERE TRIFLE
WILL JOIN IN ARRANGEMENTS FOR
THE MEETING OF STATE
HARDWARE MEN.
And for Others Who Worked for
Passage of the Occupation Tax
Bill.

A meeting Of the st. Paul Retailers
union was held last evening at the
Ryan, with President Bowlby In the
chair. The resignation of H. T. Horton
as secretary, was presented, and Louis
Nash, who represents his brother, Percy
Nash, in the organization, was unan1-
mously elected to fill the vacancy. A
vote of thanks was extended to Sena-
tor Theden for his action in champion
ing Of S. F. 424, better known as the
occupation tax bill. Resolutions were
also passed thanking Senators Ozmun,
Pottgeiser and Sheehan for their sup
port Of the measure.
The secretary was directed to prepare
an address to the merchants of the city,
requesting their cooperation with the
union Resolutions were passed for the
appointment Of a committee to work in
conjunction with the meeting Of the
state hardware dealers, which organic
alton will hold its first annual meeting
in this city April 20. The meeting of
this organization promises to be an
important one, and 1t is expected that
nearly LOCO hardware dealers from all
parts Of the state will attend the con-
VentiOn.
The union voiced the sentiment that
mistake had been made by the agent
Of the Schultz block in letting the con-
tract for the rebuilding Of the block
TO Minneapolis firm, especially when
the difference against a st. Paul con-
tractor was only $50. 1t was reported
that contract for the iron structural
work and for the lumber to be used in
the remodeling of the building, had
ben let to st. Paul firms.
The point was also raised that the
contractor for the gasoline lighting Of
the city was purchasing lamps which
were being put in on Dayton's bluff, in
Cincinnati, when the same could be
secured in this city at the same figure.
The matter of holding a race meeting
in the city during the summer, was
discussed, but no action taken. The
sentiment was that racing meetings
were a good thing for the city, in that
it brought strangers to the place and
left considerable money with the hotels,
restaurants and retail merchants.

ANOTHER CHARGE TO ANSWER.

When John H. Hale, who was arrest
ed Friday night on the charge Of steal

in the municipal court yesterday, he
found himself confronted with a second
charge of larceny. 1t is claimed that
Hale stole check from the Stahlman
Brewing company's Office Friday after
noon, and later forged an Endorsement
to the paper which he had cashed in
an East Seventh street saloon. Accord
ing to the story, Hale entered the office
and asked for a blank check. When
the clerks back was turned, it is claim
ed, Hale reached through the wire net
ting about the desk, and took a check
for $14, made payable to John Snyder,
an employe of the company. Both
cases of larceny against Hale were
continued until Wednesday. He lives

able woman, at $50 West Seventh street.

ed. In a brief but patriotic address
Capt. Henninger welcomed the assem-
bled comrades of the G. A r. and
friends of the camp, and incidentally
presented the aims and objects of the
order of Sons Of Veterans After a
stirring number by the ST Paul
Marine band, an address of much elo-
qpence and patriotic spirit was deliver
ed by Judge Willis, who declared that
peace hath it's Victories no less than
Var, and exhOrted his listeners to
be ever watchful and on the alert to
defend our free Institutions A selec-
ton by the Capital City Mandolin club
was followed by an grafton on the Gu
ban question, by G. w. Dade, Of Mac
alester college, who presented the
cause of the struggling Cuban patriots
IN most concise and fOrceful manner
and that he was addressing sympa-
thetlc listeners was often demonstrated
by the outbursts of applause as some
particularly good point was made. A
flute solo, by William Nelson was a
particularly pleasing number and an
encore was demanded. Miss SWank
| sang solo with much expression and
responded to an encore in an equally
happy manner. A fancy drill by
Messrs, Krch and French, of Company
D, First regiment, N. G. S. M, was
greeted with much merited applause,
the gentlemen having attained much
proficiency in the handling of the army
rife, which weighs over nine pounds,
but in their hands weighs appearantly
but few ounces. An address by Capt
Nj. S. Mead, remarks by Comrade l.
L. Mahan of Acker Post, G. A. r., re-
citations by Mrs Maxwell and Miss
Sweet and a selection by the band
completed the entertainment of the
evening.
