Ninth ward called on the mayor and re-
quested that the case against Welsh be
thoroughly investigated.
The mayor promised the citizens who
were anxious to have Welsh reiastated,
or claimed they were, that ne would or
der an investigation In the. meantime
the council. having approved the action
of the mayor, in remoylng Welsh from the
force, Assembl yHlap4 Benson secured the
appointment Of: Samuel shedrQslkY to the
vacancy. - -. 80 '"it
At this stage Of the affair the citizens
interested in the reinstatement Of Welsh
forwarded a communication to tie may

the promise he made as to an investiga-
ton, and also to the. fact that he not
only did not have an Investigation, but
appointed another man to the position
The signers of the letter sent the mayor

of the Conference Committee for
Their Confederation.
A regular meeting Of the conference
committee will he held tomorrow after
noon at 4:3O o'clock. In addition to the
routine business Comptroller McCardy
will bring before the committee the
school finance question. The comptroller
will call the attention of the members
to the following clause, which is found
on page SO of the charter:
Whenever, in the opinion Of said
conference committee. any officer, board
or department of said city, or said board
of education is not observing economical
management Of his or It's official bust
ness, and has, in the opinion of said com
mtttee, during the then fiscal year, made
or incurred such amount of expense,
that said officer. or said department, will
not be able to go through the then fiscal
year without overdrawing the amount of
money named in the tax estimate, or in
the tax for his or its department, with
the amount collected or collectible, and
applicable thereto, then said conference
committee shall Immediately by resoIu-
ton so advise said officer or deparement,
and thereafter said officer or department
shall have no power to, or authority to,
create any additional Indebtedness or ex-
pense save after the approval of four
htths Of said committee at meeting Of
said committee and entered upon its rec
ords"
The proposition by the comptroller Is
that the board of education on the basis
of the October pay roll sent to him for
audit will not be-able to go through the
school. year on the amount allowed by the
council. The presentation of the matter
to the committee will probably result in
the corporation attorney being called
upon for an opinion as to what c0nsti-
tutes the school year and whether the
board Of education can shorten the year
to suit its convenience and financial con-
dition.
There Is some dispute on this point
the board claiming that~the school year
can be seven or ten months, the length
Of the year being left to the discretion
of the board. The charter, on page .2SS,
appears. to. fix the length Of the school
year in. the following words;
'It shall be the duty of the board Of
school inspectors under this act to make
a report to- the mayor Of the city Of
st. Paul on or before the first day OF
June in each year, showing the number
of school children that have attended
each Of the free schools In said city and
districts during the school Year pReced-
ing, which *snfs shau extend from the
first day Of septemheEt to 4he first day of
July"
Just what kcti66na. Will If i be 8. taken by the
conference Committee remains to be seen,
but the comptroller VIII present the mat
ter and leave the question to the judg-
ment Of the members.
