COURT OF CLAIMS.
Dvinneli Bill FavOrably Recon-
mended in Judiciary Committee


The bill introduced by Mr.. Dwnnell Rep.,,
Hennepin, and which was favorably reported
by the judiciary committee yesterday, creates
a commission to adjust claims of the state
against creditors in certain cases. At pres
ent where any compromise seems necessary
or desired, there is no authority to do it
vested in any one but the legislature.
The governor and the attorney general
strongly fndorse the idea of creating a COM
mission for this purpose.
The full text of the bill is as follows:
For an act to create commission with pow
er to settle and adjust claims and demands
OF the state OF Minnesota in certain cases.
Section 1. The attorney general of this
state and two judges of the supreme court
to be selected by the governor as hereinafter
mentioned, are hereby constituted commits
sion to adjust claims of the state as here
matter provided.
Sec. 2. Whenever, in the opinion of the
attorney general of this state the collection
OF any claim or demand of the state against
any person or persons is doubtful either be-
cause of the legal status thereof OF because
Of the financial condition of the debtor or
debtors, or any of them, If it shall be
made to appear that because of unusual and
extraordinary occurrences, the financial con-
dition of the debtor or debtors has become so
changed that 1t would be manifestly unfair to
enforce to the utmost the states claim, then
said attorney general shall, in writing, COM
municate his views in the case to the gov
ernor, and II thereupon said debtor or debt
ors or any OF them shall, in writing, present
70 the governor proposition to settle such
claim Of the state as to them or either of
them, then 1t shall be the duty of the gov
ernor to select two judges of the supreme
court OF this state to act with the attorney
general as q commission to consider such
proposition Of settlement.
Sec. s. 1t shall be the duty Of the Judges
SO selected by the governor to act with the
attorney general as such commission at the
time ana place designated by the governor.
Sec 4 Said commission may consider. in
the settlement or adjustment of such claim or
claims. any equitable feature of the case
and the situation Of the parties, their finan-
eial condition, or that of any of them.
and determine upon what equitable
terms the claim of the state ought
to be settled or compromised in any
| given case so presented and the party re-
leased. The settlement and release may be
gated
Sec ;. The commission shall file It's report
with the governor and thereupon the attor-
ney general shall have full power to execute.
IN behalf of the state, all necessary papers
to carry into effect any settlement for adjust
ment, In the manner set forth in the report
| of the commission
Sec. g. This act shall take effect and be in
force from and after its passage

SPLITTING ON STREET CARS.
The Benson Ordinance to All Intents
Dead Letter.


Dead Letter.
An ordinance, of which Assemblyman
c. S. Benson is the author, prohibiting
the splitting in street cars, under pen
atty of 4 fine or Imprisonment, is III
force in st. Paul. that is, it is theore-
tically In force, as it was approved by
the mayor something over week ago,
hut how extensively it is in force prac-
tically can easily be determined by any
one who sets foot in a st. Paul street
car.
Several street car conductors were
| asked about the subject yesterday
An interurban conductor was sur
prised to know that there was such an
OF dinance
A Rice and Concord conductor knew
that there was an ordinance against
splitting but he had not received any
official notice from the street car COM
pany. He had noticed somewhat I'M
usual thing in the past few days, in
that several parties had come to the
! door and expectorated upon the street,
but whether it was done because of
| any particular decency upon the part
| OF the parties, or they did to seem to
observe the ordinance, although that
| is as much of violation as any, he
had not thought to inquire.
A Selby avenue conductor had only
| heard of it by overhearing several Ia
dies on one of his trips talking about
| il. He could not understand how such
| an ordinance was to be enforced, un-
less a policeman was to be attached to
each car, or every conductor appoint
ed a special to arrest offenders against
that particular ordinance.
The reporter by inadventure board
ed West st. Paul car, to get inside
of which he was compelled to wade
through tobacco juice enough to float
canal boat. The attention of the
conductor was called to it. He knew
it was against all form of G.. S. Ben
sens ethics and morals and likewise
against the form of the ordinance in
such case made and provided and had
eXpostulated with the offenders, but
beyond that he did not know how to
proceed.
The ordinance may abate a part of the
nuisance for few days, which is
doubtful. In fact, to all intents and
purposes it will be a dead letter for
all time to come.
