Chamber of Commerce Committee
Thinks 1t UndersirabIe

The committee on banking and cur
rency of the chamber of commerce, of
which w. B. Dean is chairman, submit
ted it's report at the meeting yesterday
on the proposition to establish a SUBJ
treasury in ST. Paul. The committee is
not only opposed to the esta blishment
Of a subtreasury in St. Paul. but favors
the abolition of all subtreasuries. Fol-
lowing is the report in part:
Your committee believes that the system of
Independent or sub-treasuries of the United
States-a plan of financial administration, as
we understand, peculiar to our nation alone
is Inconsistent with the public welfare and
that instead of their number being multiplied
they should be altogether abolished.
Any system that requires the money re-
ceived by the government, in the course of it's
business to be withdrawn from circulation
and locked up in aGseparate and private safe
of its own is necessarily injurious to the
prosperity of the Industrial and commercial
interests of all our people.
Were the authorities of Ramsey county and
the city of st. Paul to maintain their own
separate treasury, instead of depositing their
funds in the several banks the result would
be the withdrawal from local circulation and
the locking UP at the present date of nearly
million and half of dollars and of a
much larger sum ait other times in the year.
The banks would then in turn be obliged to
reduce their commercial discounts and to
thus largely curtail the business facilities of
the city.
Your committee is at loss to suggest any
reason why we should seek for the establish
ment of a sub-treasury2 in this district It's
only office would be to absorb the money of
our people, and withdraw it from circulation.
without any compromising benefit worthy of
mention, unless it would be the employment
of two or three citizens to fill the additional
Offices that would be created.
A communication was received from

HOGBACK PASS.
Lambert Lake Mystery to Be Fur
ther Investigated.

The county commissioners met in
regular session yesterday forenoon and
spent most of their time in knock
ing County Attorney Anderson. Com
missioners Hardick and Quehl supplied
most of the comment. Commissioner
Hardick called attention to the section
of the law providing for the punish
ment of public officials by not less than
thirty days nor more than six months
IMPRISONMENT in the county jail, in
case they willfully fail for five days to
perform the duties imposed by the act.
On motion of Commissioner Quehl 1t
was decided to send to each county
official a copy of the section as well
as the resolution placing certain coun-
ty offices on the salary basis and fix
ing the salaries Of county officials.
The secretary then read the opinion
of the county attorney regarding the
bill of the ]. D. Hess business college,
amounting to $3.50, for taking and
transcribing the testimony in the
Dupre-C apistrant sausage poisoning
case, which was investigated by cor
oner's Jury. Mr.. Anderson, as the
Globe has already published, held
that the county was not liable for the
bill, and that if anybody was the
debtor it was the coroner.
WI men Tie ISpOIl Wc1S IS%eN,
sioner Hardick said the county attor-
news office was not consistent, send
ing down opinions and rulings which
contradicted each other.
Commissioner Quehl also seemed to
be of the opinion that there was
discrepancy somewhere. The commit
tee on claims will have the pleasure of
solving the riddle.
Assistant County Attorney Zollman
raked up the mystery of Hogback
pass, by presenting, at the request of
the sheriff, request for an appropria-
ton to investigate the supposed muir
der. Mr.. Zollman said he had talked
with Coroner Nelson, Deputy Coroner
Ohage and DR.. Charles Wheaton, and
all of those authorities were convinced
there was a murder mystery to solve.
He limited at certain clues which the
sheriff was in possession Of. He also
produced correspondence between the
authorities and Eastern shoe manufac-
turers as to the identity and make Of
the boot found among the bristles Of
the Hogs back.
Commissioner McCarron suggested
that the sheriff and the county attor-
ney attend an executive session of the
commissioners tomorrow night at 7:30
o'clock, when the secrets might be
aired, and action taken, If necessary.
This plan was adopted.
The board will hold it's annual meet
ing at 10 a. m. today.

sUsTAINs THE DEMURRER.
r.. r.. Dorr Must Amend His Insur.
ance Company Complaint.

Judge Kelly filed an order yesterday
sustaining the demurrer Of the Life
Insurance Clearing company and
Thomas B. Scott and II. Burton Strait
to the complaint of Russell r. Dorr.
Mr.. Dorr sues for the appointment of
a receiver of the company and the re-
moval of Thomas B. Scott and II. Bur
ton Strait from its control.
Judge Kelly finds only one Of the
three grounds of demurrer we'll taken,
and that is that Mr.. Dorr as a stock
holder has not capacity to bring a suit
of this nature, unless the complaint
contains one of two allegations. The
plaintiff must allege that he made a
demand upon the board of directors
or stockholders to take some action, or
else state facts in his complaint suf-
ficient to show the court that such a
demand would have been of no avail.
This, the court holds, the plaintiff has
not done and he is therefore given
twenty days further time to perperly
amend his complaint

GRAND JURY's STANDING
VIII BE Considered in Court Before
1t Sits.

Service was secured on twenty-five
Of the twenty three grand jurors
drawn. Eighteen put in an appearance
yesterday forenoon. Arnold Kalman
and P H. Kelly were excused perma-
nently on account of illness, and James
Shannon and G. w. Hackett were ex-
cused as both are over sixty years Of
age, and therefore ineligible for service
on the grand jury. Henry G. Haas
was excused for one week on account
of sickness.
There were three men whose eligibility
for service is in doubt by reason of
their delay in taking out their second
papers. Murdoch E. Murray and Pat
rick M. Hennessey took out their sec
ond papers yesterday. Louis Peterson,
the third man, took out his last Octo-
Der, but it is a question whether he
took them out ninety days before he
was summoned for service.
Today the court will decide whether
Messrs. Peterson, Murray and Hennes-
sey are qualified to sit as grand jurors.
If they are not, a special venire will
have to be ordered, as that will leave
only fourteen men, and it requires six
teen to constitute a quorum.

ANNUALICE CUT BEGINS.
Local Dealers VIII Lay I'm Unusually
Large. Stores.


The half dozen ice companies in the
city commenced their annual harvest
yesterday in earnest. They expect to
have a large number of men at work,
taking advantage of the season which
opens every year about one week be-
fore Christmas. Two of the conn anies
had a small force of men at work last
week, but it was not until yesterday
that their full force was employed.
One company had 200 teams at work at
the three lakes from which they get
their supply.
The annual cut made by the ST. Paul
ice companies is about 1000 tons, and
the people of st. Paul use nearly all of
this amount, one firm In summer SELL
ing six cars a day. They are going to
make larger cut this year than was
madel asst year.
McCarron's, Phalen, and White Bear
are the lakes which practically furnish
all the ice. Ice men say that the ice
in White Bear freezes several inches
thicker than that in either Of the other
two lakes, which is explained by the
fresh water springs which supply Nc
Carron's and Phalen lakes The quail
ity Of the ice taken from these lakes
is much superior to the White Bear ice.
The Ice in White Bear so far this year
is about twenty-five inches thick and
that in the other two lakes is about
twenty-one or twenty-five inches.
Up to a few years ago st. Paul ice
found ready market in many Of the
Eastern cities, but of late, little West
ern ice has been marketed in the East.
About every third season ST. Paul is
called upon to send large consignments

which is occasioned by the scarcity Of
the article. caused by either a short
winter, long summer, or both.
The ice companies experience a little
difficulty for the lack of snow, as snow
always makes it easier hauling. They
car get on one Or two cakes more on a
sled, and it is not as hard to handle on
sled. The large cakes Of 22x32 inches

rooster and twenty other celebrated
books, lectures Thursday evening in
the Peoples church.
His lecture will be Italian Life in
the Middle Ages" This lecture will be
deeply interesting for many reasons
Because of the greatness of the au-
thor, and of his gifts as speaker; be-
cause he has made Of Italy his life's
study; because Of the peculiar interest
of the period; because it was at this
time that art music and literature re-
bounded from the cruelty and oppres-
sion of the times, into a new and
beautiful life.
Mr.. Crawford will draw strange and
beautiful word pictures. He will tell
stories Of the Orsini and Frangipani
families-stories of passion, love and

MIR. SINCLAIR DELAYS.
Has Not Accepted the First Church's
Call Yet.

The call which the First Presbyterian
church extended Rev. John Sinclair, of
Redwood Falls, a short time ago is still
in the air, pending the action of the
presbytery which meets in the House
of Hope church a week from today.
The presbytery will forward the call to
Mr. Sinclair according to the regular
order Of the Presbyterian church. The
trustees Of the church expect to have
the matter settled by Jan. IL. Dr. SIN
clair will have to give his parish at
Redwood Falls ten days notice, which
will necessitate another delay, and it
is thought Mr.. Sinclair will be in ST.
Paul, in case he accepts, earlier than
the first Of February.

a New Years present to Sarah c. Pur-
YES, which will be much appreciated.
Mrs. Purves was sent to the Saltwater
prison from Yellow Medicine county in
1885 to serve the rest of her life as the
penalty for murder. This sentence was
later committed, however, and the time
of her service would have expired in
few weeks now. But her relatives
are moving to the South, and on her
promise to go with them, her full par
don is granted.
A full pardon was also granted Ag-
mes Gordon, Of Minneapolis, who was
sent to the workhouse there last month
on an eighty-day sentence for COM
plicity in the operation of a blind pig.

board that the woman was merely en-
ployed as a servant. and not to blame,
