"The position taken by the members
of the Christian Citizenship league Is
just this" said one of the leaders OF
that organization yesterday.
I'VE now have pledged to us In the
neighborhood Of 5000 votes, and before
election day this number will be in
creased fully 1000 more. OF course, we
could go ahead and place a candidate
for mayor in the field and we would re-
ceive that number of votes.
Our idea is that we control the bal
ance of power and that the best inter-
estS of the city would be SubServed by
not nominating candidate for mayor.
but indorsing a candidate nominated
by one or the other of the leading par
ties.
while we have not much faith in the
nomination Of a good man by the Re-
publican machine, still it Is barely pos
sible that the party will be forced into
placing man at the head Of the ticket
who will stand for an enforcement of
the laws.
'On the other hand. the Democrats,
by reason of discussions in the party,
may nominate a first-class man for
mayor in order to get the votes Of the
diSgruntled Republicans. If they do,
then the league will rally to the support
Of the Democratic candidate.
The situation narroWS itself down
to the question Of the best man nomi-
mated so far as the votes controlled by
the league are concerned.
In case neither party should NOM
mate a suitable man for mayor, then
the league will have to place a non
partisan candidate on the ticket.
Charles F. Mailer has been mentioned
as a possible candidate, and, in all
probability. if the league makes a NOM
inatiOn, it will be Mr.. Mailer"

TOOK THEIR FATHERS BED,
But 1t Was Not Regarded as a Grim
innI Act.

Hamlet's pessimistic observation about "the
laws delay" which has met with popular
Endorsement for some 300 years, exploded
yesterday in Judge Kelly's court.
Only twelve minutes were consumed in the
trial Of case that involved the disappear
ance and alleged theft of feather bed with
a history.
The owner of the feather bed is Henry
Blase Sr.. aged 70. Mr.. Blase estimates that
1t is worth $50. and he claims to know, as he
testified in court yesterday:
ME and mein frau slept on that bed fifty
one years.
Mrs. Blase's sons-Fred. aged As, and
Henry, aged S6-two playful youths-pur-
Joined their fathers feather bed, so the old
gentleman said.
The boys admitted that they had taken
the bed. but explained that they did SO be-
cause sister had taken their bed away from
them. which their mother had bequeathed to
them.
The taking of the testimony occupied seven
minutes. the summing up by counsel con-
sumed two, and Judge Kelly abbreviated his
charge to sixty seconds
Two minutes late the jury returned with
a verdict OF not guilty.
But Judge Kelly lectured the boys for over
looking the fifth commandment.

MAY DROP 1T AFTER ALL
PROPOSED ACTION OF THE CITY
SCHOOL TEACHERS
Three Members of the Committee
Appointed to Institute the Pro-
ceedings Have Resigned From the
COmmfttee--WfiIin to Let the
Matter Drop

q The claim of the teachers against the
city of st. Paul for back salary due
them in June, 1895, will probably never
be taken into court.
Three members of the original COM
mittee appointed to commence action
against the city have resigned from the
committee, and have openly said that
they would not become party to an &C
ton against the city.
Principal A. j. Smith, of the Central
high school, has formally rendered his
resignation.
Miss Newson. one of the two lady
members of the committee, has also
resigned.
1t was reported yesterday that Prof
J. D. Donnelly had also rendered his
resignation. He was seen yesterday
afternoon by G o b e reporter.
rs it true that you have resigned
from the teachers legislative commit
tee" ventured the reporter.
Yes. 1 have refused to serve, but
that is a matter which I do not want
to discuss for publication"
Were you not in favor Of bringing
the suit at the time you were appoint
ed member of the committee?"
mo, sir. I have never been In favor
of it, l am opposed to the whole
thing"
The resignation of Miss Newson and
only three members of the committee
remaining. They are President S. A.
FarnSWorth of the Cleveland high
school; Miss B. M. Phalen, of the teach
ers' training school, and Miss Saunders,
of the Neill school.
Aside from the designations of the
members of the committee a great deal
of opposition has sprung up among the
teachers of the city against pushing
the suit
1t now develops that several Of the
teachers present at the melting when
the action was taken did not vote on
the question. and were opposed to such
a proceeding.
A number of teachers were seen by
reporter for The G o b e yesterday,
and few of them approved the action
of the teachers association.
One of the professors in the high
school said yesterday:
Suppose we do win the suit, why
the board would just take the amount
of the judgment out of our next years
salary"
The same professor said that there
was a serious doubt as to whether
they could get a judgment against the
city from the fact that the validity of
teachers contracts for 1895 had been
called into question.
Another teacher thought that the suit
would antagonize the council. who
were considering the advisability Of
making an additional appropriation of
900 for the maintenance fund Of the
board
In the face of the opposition which
has sprung up, it is hardly probable
that suit will be instituted. Still Mr..
Farnsworth and the other two men,
bers of the committee may go ahead
with the matter.

w B. Watts, chief inspector of the
Boston police. and L. B. Camland. a
Boston detective, passed through the
city yesterday, in company with A.
Tibet, accused of embeZzeling $3.50, 900
from a Boston leather firm.
= Mr.. Tibet was arrested a week ago
by Inspector Watts, in Vancouver. b.
C.. when he and Mrs. Tibet were on
the point of sailing for Australia.
TIE party that reached st. Paul yes
terday included Mr.. and Mrs. Tibet
and the two police officials. They
came in at l o'clock and We're at once
driven to the Ryan hotel, where they
spent the afternoon.
Mr.. Tibet is an Englishman Of
thirty-five or less. and of excellent APP
pearance. He was not at all cone rned
about the charge which he will have to
face in Boston; on the contrary he
chatted pleasantly with the hotel
clerks. while either Inspector Watts or
Detective Camland kept watch of his
movements. Otherwise he was allowed
his liberty
He lounged around the corridors dur
Ing the afternoon in company with the
police officials. and to these around the
rotunCa nothing unusual was evident.
Police Inspector Watts would at
tract more than passing attention, as
he is possessed of a striking PERSONAL
ity. Both Mr.. Tibet and Detective
Camland are handsome types of men,
ard the party were gazed upon by the
hotel habitutes and put down as men
with more money than trouble.
Mrs. Tibet remained in her room and
did not communicate with any one dur
ing the day, only making her appear
auce again when the party took a hack
10 the depot.
Mr.. Tibet occupied position of high
trust with one of the largest Boston
leather concerns. Shortly after the
first of the year, it is alleged, he dis
posed of a block OF the company's Sc
curities, upon which he realized $50, 600:
1T is said he then departed for New
York. where he invested in a large
number of diamonds.
From New York Mr.. and Mrs. Tibet
travelled over the United States and
finally decided to go to Australia
They arrived in Vancouver B. c.,
about ten days ago and had a steam
ship passage engaged when Mr.. Tibet
was placed under arrest. During all
this time the two Boston detectives
had followed Tibet and his wife across
the continent. and only captured them
just in time to prevent them from leav-
ing the country.

zimmerman later, cit was with the
understanding that there were no
strings to 1t. I was not asked by any
man to vote for Healy, but did so be-
cause he is the best clerk I ever saw
in that or any other Office
Mayor Doran felt as much torn up
over the result as any of the other
members of the party. who have al
ways stood for civil service reform. AT
least he said he was.
There were conferences all day with
this and that one in the mayors private
office. and last evening it was an
nounced that the election of Healy
would mean change in the office of
private secretary to the mayor.
This position Is now held by Charles
r. Corning, whose father was recently
appointed to the school board by Mayor
Doran.
Corning was one of the four members
OF the board who voted for Healy's re-
election. and Private Messenger Miller
was heard quoting something about the
sins OF the father being on the children
visite> already
Mayor Doran evaded the question as
to whether there would be a change
made in the office of private secretary.
Il have not discussed the matter
with anyone" said the mayor, and that
was all that he would say.
Close friends Of the chief executive
stated, however, that there was to be
a change and that J. F. Angel. who
was turned down for secretary Of the
school board, would take Corning's
place in the mayors office.

hlILLETTE WINS OUT.
Deputy Game Warden Didn't Mako
n Case Against Him.

Peter Millette, arrested Saturday by Deputy
Game Warden McDermott, on the charge Of
Illegal fishing in Kohlman's lake, was tried
in the municipal court yesterday and dis
charged.
The game warden claimed he had captured
Millette red handed in the use of ''trot" lines.
and that the accused had attempted to
escape.
Millette denied this allegation, and satisfied
the court that he had simply stopped TO ex-
anime line which he discovered while cross
ing the lake the ice.
Attorney Mcdonald, appearing for Miliette,
criticised the deputy, game wardens in general
and McDermott in particular. He asserted
that the numerous arrests of late at lakes
in the neighborhood of the city were made be-
cause of the fact that deputy game wardens
received as compensation part Of the fines in
ficted.
