CHARGED WITH SWINDLING.
Rev. C. A. Hultkranz Causes the Ar
rest of Edgar TOwsley.

Edgar Towsley, a young man of suave
manners and insinuating address, well
appareled and claiming to be a stranger
in st. Paul, is locked up at the central
police station on the charge of swind-
ling, preferred against him by Rev. c.
A. Hultkranz, manager of the Bethesda
hospital, at Ninth and Wacouta streets.
Towsley was arrested at the residence
of Rev. Mr.. Hultkranz, 243 East Ninth
street, last evening, where he had call
ed il; futherance of the alleged swind-
ling operations which he is said to have
been carrying on during the last week.
Rev. Mr.. Hultkranz had become sus-
picious of the man. and engaging him
in conversation in the parlor, sent his
wife to notify the police Detectives
Werrick and Wells responded to the
call. and in few moments had Towsley
under arrest. The young man appeared
greatly surprised, expostulated, and
offered to make good the amount which
he is accused of fraudulentIy obtaining.
but Rev. Mr.. Hultkranz refused to
withdraw the charge against him.
According to Rev. Mr.. Hultkranz, the
young man under arrest visited him a
week ago yesterday, and represented
himself to be arranging concerts for a
travelling company. 1t was desired to

County Commissioners VIII Make
Some Needed improvements.
The regular meeting of the board
Of county comm.s s;ioners yesterday. was
characterized by the usual wrangling
over routine business. The first dis
pute occurred over a resolution, con-
stituting Messrs. Hardick, Kellerman
and Rief, a committee to hire men and
teams for the repair Of the White Bear
cycle path. Chairman Doran objected
to the resolution because the amount
Of money to be expended was not mem
toned in the resolution. After some
controversy, a resolution was finally
adopted empowering the committee to
build the track from Wright's corner
to a point two and a half miles from
White Bear lake. The proposition to
extend the cycle path through Glad
stone to the county line was referred
to the committee on roads and bridges.
After another wrangle, a resolution
was adopted instructing the county
auditor to advertise for bids for the
grading Of Kellar marsh on the
Josephine road.
A resolution was adopted directing
the county attorney to begin proceed
ings against the receivers and assign
ees of suspended banks for the collec-
ton of the personal taxes Of the banks.
EX-Sner1H Bean submitted two DlllS
for services in returning warrants for
delinquent personal taxes. The bills
were s1,759 and $1,S03. Both were dis
allowed, the board taking the same
action as it did in the case of ex-Sheriff
Chapel's claim for like services.
Charles Clark was reelected expert
printer on the third ballot. His oppo-
nents were Messrs. Babcock, Donaldson,
Merrick and Schurman.
The st. Paul Dispatch was elected
county printer.
A communication was received from
the board Of control calling attention
to the case Of Mrs. Catherine Shiler Of
112 Concord street, who is said to be in
destitute condition Mrs. Shiler has
applied to the board Of control for aid,
and the board reports that she has
children able but unwilling to assist

the receipts II he would consent to the
entertainment being given ostensibly
for the benefit of the Bethesda hospital.
Two or three days ago Mr.. Hultkranz
made an investigation, and claims to
have learned that ToWsley was work
ing what he thinks Is systematic
swindle. He had hired number OF
girls through advertisements In the
newspapers, and furnished each with
a petition setting forth the needs of
the bethesda hospital, but mentioning
nothing about the proposed concert. 1t
was his plan to call nightly at the home
OF the girls working for him, and take
possession Of the Cmoney collected by
each during the day gp,
ToWs-ey represented that he had hired
Conover hall for May-27, and When
Mr.. Hultkranz found that this. as he
claims, was not true, heAdecided TowS-
ley was not on the square, and. when
he met the man on the street Saturday,
told him to come to his home yesterday
and make settlerhent. SWhen Towsley
came he was handed over to the police.
At tn central police dstation Towsley
was relieved Of a small valise. in which
were number Of printed tickets to the
proposed entertainment and several
given In Sioux Falls, To-, Omaha, Neb.,
and Kansas City, Kan. and also two
of the petitions which had been circu-
lated by the girls in his employ. One
OF them was the one which had been
in charge of the girl who had first
aroused suspicion against Towsley, and
contained subscriptions amounting
to over $3.50. 1t contained the names Of
Mayor Doran, John McGuin, Andrew
Schoch, F. w. Martin, R. A. Kirk, G.
M. Griggs, The Savings Bank of ST.
Paul, William Kingsley, G. A. Hackett,
William b. Dean. A. Cook, William
Burkhard company, William Schauer.
j. Grant, and number of collections
accredited to "caSh" Andrew SchOch
is accredited with $50, the other sub
scr1pt1ons ranging from so cents to S..
ToWsley absolutely denies any fradu-
lent intentions or practices in his opera
lions, and claims he worked wholly
on the plan agreed upon by himself
and Rev. M. fHultkranz. All of the
subscriptions on the list Towsley
claims, except that credited to Andrew
Sohoch, only mean purchases Of tick
cts to the proposed concert. The
Schoch subscription, he SAYS, is merely
a "stall'' inserted by himself. Towsley
claims the entire amount which he has
realized in ST. Paul amounts to some
thing over $50 and that he. last even
ing, gave Rev. M. HuItkranz $12 as the
hospital share. This, Mr. Hultkrnaz
admits, though he claims that Towsley
has collected sums largely in excess Of
sou, or Which he has made no account
ing. Towsley will be arraigned in the
police court today

ROADWAY ON THE LEvEE.
board of Public Works Thinks 1t Is
Unnecessary.

Unnecessary.
The board Of public works, yesterday,
by a unanimous vote, decided to send
an adverse report to the council in the
matter Of the opening of a roadway
on the levee from Jackson to Eagle
street.
A. G. Rice, of the Minnesota Soap
company, told the board that road
way on the levee as indicated by the
preliminary order from the council
would be Of great advantage to the
parties engaged in business on the
upper levee, as the haul to the freight
houses via Chestnut and Seventh
streets was a. long one. He felt that
the Omaha and Milwaukee roads
would make no objection to a roadway
being constructed along the levee In or
der to give short haul from the up
per Ievee to the freighthouses.
w. P. Murray went back into ancient
history to prove that the city only gave
the Omaha road the right to lay two
tracks on the 1evee. The city has spent
over $100;009a1n building a levee, anu
now found that it was practically cut
in two, andthere was no way of reach
ing the lower levee and Jackson street
without going around by Chestnut and
Seventh streets. He thought the rail-
way company should make concessions
and allow a railway to be built. E.
S. Woodnan, representing the Omaha
road, said in 1869 the city had granted
to the Omaha road the right to lay
tracks on the roadway which was then.
as claimed by the city, thirty feet wide.
It took about twenty-eight feet to lay
two tracks, and there was report i'll
existence, made by city official, to
the effect that the tracks had been
laid and the entire width of the street
taken up. For thirty years the city
had allowed the company to use the
roadway, and now the manufacturers
came forward and wanted one Of the
tracks torn up to give them a roadway.
W. A. Scott, general manager of the
Omaha, said the company had gone to
a great expense and changed the piers
of the Wabasha street bridge so as tc
allow improvements to be made by the
road. 1t was impossible to make
roadway along the levee, unless one OF
the tracks was torn up, and he ques-
toned whether public interest demand
ed this. The board decided that the
improvement was not necessary or
proper at this time, and will so report
to the council.

INDICTMENT RETURNED AGAINST
THE PRESIDENT OF THE ALLIE
MAMMA BANK.
ARRAIGNED AND GIVES BAIL.
THE CHARGE is THAT OF GRAND
LARCENY, BUT REALLY AN
OVERDRAF~T.
CRIME SAID TO BE TECHNICAL.
Mr.. Scheffer's Bondsmen Are TheO-
dOre and William Hamm-WiIl
Plead Wednesday,.

The grand jury yesterday afternoon
returned an indictment against Albert
Scheffer. president Of the Allemannia
bank The indictment charges Mr..
Scheffer with the crime of grand lar
ceny in the first degree. Mr.. scheffer,
who has been on and off duty around
the court house for the past week, was
at once advised of the indictment and
reported to Judge Lewis. He was ac-
companied by trio of attorneys.
George NJ Nelson, Moses E. Clapp and
John D. O'Brien. There was long
delay owing to the difficulty in secur-
ing the attendance of Theodore Hamm,
who was wanted as one of the bonds
men for Mr.. Scheffer. 1t was O'CLOCK
when Mr.. Scheffer was arraigned and
the reading Of the Indictment was
waived. Judge Lewis announced that
he would postpone the pleading to the
Indictment to Wednesday morning at
10 o'clock. Theodore and William
Hamm were ready to go on Mr..
Scheffer's bond and satisfied the court
that they were qualified to act as
sureties on bond of $4,000, which was
the amount fixed by the court for Mr..
Scheffer's appearance on Wednesday.
The indictment charges President
Scheffer with the larceny on July i.
1896, of $6,47O from the institution Of
which he was president. 1t is under
stood that the amount is in the shape
of an overdraft. One of the officials
connected with the Allemannia, seen
last evening, said the ground for the
Indictment possibly grew out Of the
fact that President Scheffer had made
a loan from the bank depositing se-
curity for the same. This has been
seized upon as a technical crime Of
larceny, the county attorney holding
that, even had the loan been secured,
it was an overdraft. The grand Jury
had followed the instruction Of the
county attorney and returned an in
dictment. 1t was one thing, the gentle
man said, to find an Indictment and
another to convict.
1t was evidently pretty well under
stood yesterday morning that an in
dictment would be returned against
Mr.. Scheffer, for several delegations
called at the office of the county at
torney in the hopes that something
could be done to head off the bill. The
result, however, showed that the dele.
cations and their visit had little if any
weight.
The grand jury also returned two
indictments yesterday against ]. w.
Smith, alias J. W. Weese Weese is
charged with committing a criminal
assault upon Marie Collins, and alsc
with robbing her Of her pocketbook
containing sl.60 in money. The for
NAL charges are assault in the secon!
degree and larceny in the first degree.
An Indictment was also returned
against Guy Risdon, who is charged
with having stolen a silver box, a dia
mond pin. "a point lace collar and
twenty handkerchiefs from house
on West Third street Weese and Ris-
don will probably be arraigned this
forenoon.
Thelma is indeed q grand dream of
beauty and purity, is the expression
of ali who see her.

Another Branch Organized With DIR.
L. N. Benepe President.
The permanent organization Of the
FRANKLIN branch of the St. Paul Public
School union was effected at a meet.
ing held last night in one Of the rooms
OF the school, P. J. Smalley presiding.
Tnat gentleman told his hearers brief
ly OF the general purpose of the central
ana branch unions,+ urging that closer
union OF the parents and teachers could
only result in the more satisfactory
results achieved by the pupils. Mrs
K. Deacon, principal of the Jackson
school. urging that children's minds
should be turned in the right direction
by proper reading at home Much
reading was an essential in the cor
rotation of studies, and teachers were
always ready to furnish lists of good
books to parents Or pupils Mr.. Green
leaf felt that teachers would be greatly
penehtted by greater interest on the
part OF the parents. Parents ought to
visit the schools and get in touch with
the classroom proceedings Prof.
Congdon took up the so-called fads
about which there had been some
criticism and pointed out how good
could come from, the study of mud
pies. bugs, ETC., in nature work Mr.
Squires had three children in school
gress they were making Mrs. Yappa
spoke of the fact developed by. Miss
Evans, of the Northfield college, that
less than fifteen per cent of pupils
were honest. She believed children
should be taught nigh morals and
principles at home, thereby tightening
the responsibility Of the teacher.
Prof. Curtis found much to commend
in the spirit manifested of establish
ing prefect accord between the home
and the school, and believed that the
best results would rise out Of the bond
of sympathy and interest between the
mothers and fathers and the teachers
who taught their youngsters He an
nounced that the central executive
committee had decided that the ques-
ton to be discussed by the unions was
the THE school library and the facill-
ties for the school youth in the way
OF reading" The union will not meet
again until September.
The following officers and directors
were elected, having been nominated
by a committee consisting of Messrs,
w. G. Sargent. Thomas Yapp, and
William Greenleaf: President, DR.. L.
NJ. Benepe; vice president, P. J. Small
