Won BAUMBACH TAKES HOLD.
New Internal Revenue Collector As
sumes His Office.

New Internal Revenue Collector As
sumes His Office.
Ex-Secretary Of State Frederick Won Baum
bach is now collector Of internal revenue for
this district. He was given possession Of the
Office yesterday morning, after his bond in
the sum of $780, 900 had been approved by
Internal Revenue Agent ]. A. Wheeler.
Prior to the transfer, Agent Wheeler had
made an examination of the affairs of the
office. Under the management of Collector
Harries the condition Of the Office has become
30 perfect that it is rated No. by the de-
partment. This condition made the transfer
almost a routine matter, but the interests
involved are so very considerable that there
was a good deal of red tape about making
the change.
The transfer incidentally brought out the
fact that the St. Paul district is q very con-
siderable factor in getting together the money
needed to run the general government. The
collections in this district run up Nbey ond
two and a quarter millions Of dollars. I'm
der the new war revenue bill the figures are
likely to considerably advance, in spite CT
the fact that the receipts from distilleres have
fallen off greatly of late. The principal fac
tors in making up the total of the revenue
collected are the distillers of spirits and the
brewers. When the distilleres are running
the receipts from the tax on spirits average
as high as 100000 per month and the av-
erage monthly receipts from brewers approx
mate $4,000.
Collector Won Baumbach will not bring his
family to St. Paul for the present, and said
mat ne mad no present Intention of making
any changes in the clerical force of the Of

TELEPHONE FRANCHISE,
Assembly Committee Amends 1t and
Recommends It's Passage

Recommends Its Passage.
The. assembly committee on streets yester-
day afternoon wrestled with the proposed ordi-
nance granting a franchise to the American
Telegraph and Telephone company and after
talking for a couple of hours on the clause
determining the right OF the city to make the
rates to be charged by the new company, rec
commended the measure for passage by the
council 1t was materially amended by the
substitution of the following for the original
clause providing for control Of rates by the
council:
Nothing in this ordinance contained shall
be held to authorize said company, its sue
cessors, or assigns, to fix its rates, charges
or compensation for local telephone service
within the limits of said city above the
lowest rates, charges or compensation fixed
or charged for similar telephone service by
any other company which, at the same time,
may be operating a local telephone ex-
change within said city.
And whenever said American Telephone
and Telegraph company shall proceed to es-
tablish or operate an exchange for local
telephone service within said city, the COM
mon council of said city shall at said time
have full power and authority to prescribe
and impose such conditions and restrictions
upon said company, its successors or as
signs, in the establishment, maintenance
and operation Of telephone exchange for
local telephone service within the limits of
said city, as the public interests, In the
judgment of said common council, may re-
sure.
Before taking up the franchise matter the
committee heard a number of directors to
the proposed paving Of Tenth street. from st.
Peter. to Rice. The directors represented a
very large proportion of the property owners,
and were headed by John S. erode and City
Treasurer Horst.
The city engineer gave It as his opinion
that the street should be paved at once. but
1t was shown that the property-hOlders would
be embarrassed by ordering the work done
this season. and it was reported adversely
with the understanding that the work was to
be done next year

her two sons, J. P. Weber and G. ]. Weber,
who live with her, were up before Judge Orr

she died shortly after the birth Of the child.

rush for the child, only to be seized by the
two Webbers, who, he alleges, held him,
while their mother made her escape with the
youngster.
After the struggle VALLEY appealed to the
child. The father took him to Minneapolis.
Mrs. Weber was arrested on charge OF
abduction, by Capt Getchell. The Webbers
were represented in court by w. w. Erwin.

the st. Paul chamber of commerce.
The committee to which the subject
which was special order had been
referred, reported yesterday as follows:
Resolved That the interests of the city
of st. Paul require that the proposed new

Yesterday afternoon at o'clock
Hilda Last, a siX-year-old child, died
OF starvation in an old one-room shack
near Gates street and Oakdale avenue
on the West side.
The case is one Of the most heart
rending which has ever come to the
notice Of the St. Paul authorities The
little girl was the second child Of Mr..
and Mrs. John Last, Germans who are
not up to the ordinary in education or
intelligence
the neighborhOod had the slightest sus-
picion that they were starving, and
they, either through pride or ignorance,
neglected to make their condition
known.
1t was known to the neighbors that
the little girl was sick, but no one
thought that she was in danger of
death.
Yesterday morning DR.. Artz was
called in. After examining the little
sufferer he saw that the child was
starving to death. She was wasted al
most to skin and bones, and presented
an appearance which would turn the
charitable, for the time at least, away
from the contemplation of suffering in
Cuba to the conditions prevailing In
the howell on the West side.
DIR. ArtZ questioned the mother and
learned that for over week the sick
child had had no nouriShment but
black coffee, and that the family had
had nothing to eat for several days
There are three other children beside
Hilda, and all are in fearful condition.
After hearing their story DIR. Artz
notified the authorities, and relief was
sent to the starving family, but 1t came
too late to save the life of Hilda She
was utterly exhausted and died at 4
in the afternoon.
The family will be cared for by the
city. They are in need of furniture,
clothing and fuel as we'll as food; and
no doubt the charitable societies of the
city will be interested in their behalf.
