DAVIS HIS DECLINED TI
CEFT THE CITY sUPERINTEND-
ENCY OF SCHOOLS
SMITH AGAIN AT THE HELM
Evidently the Result of the Matter
Is That the Present System
Will Continue Tenn
pOrarfIy.

President Corning. of the board OF
inspectors, received a letter from Supt.
A j. Smith, dated Dresden, July %, an
nouncing that DR.. George W. Davis. by
letter, had declined the boards offer of
the SUPPLEMENTARY Of the St. Paul pub
lie schools.
Supt. Smith missed DR.. Davis in Paris
but wrote him of the situation, explain
ing the boards offer, and also that an
early answer was desirable. In reply
DR.. Davis wrote Mr.. Smith that he could
not change HIS plans nor his first decision
declining the place.
Mr.. Smiths letter to President Corning
was dated July s. a few days before the
board sent it's telegram to DIR. Davis.
The message, as heretofore stated did
not find DR.. Davis, and is now following
the dean of Manchester around Europe.
Supt. A. ]. Smith will reach St. Paul
about Sept. 3, and will again assume
charge Of the schools. The board consid-
ers 1t imperative that a superintendent
be elected within the near future Mr.
Smith Is merely holding over, and It was
the understanding when he went away
that he would have charge of the schools
until February, based on the belief THAI
DR.. Davis would accept 1t is quite like
ly that he will be reelected for anothep
year.
President Corning stated yesterday that
he would call special meeting Of the
board Immediately If Inspector e. T. Nc
Donald was in the city, but as that gen
tleman Is rusticating In the vicinity OF
Mile Laos, a meeting to elect a super
intendent will probably be delayed. In
any event. a meeting will be called with
in ten days, and there appears to be but
little doubt that it will at that time elect
a superintendent-and It will be Supt.
Smith.

The teamsters about the city who were
thrown out of employment by the hiring
Of men and teams from Minneapolis to
haul the crushed rock from Minneapolis,
which was being used in the concrete
foundation of the Arundel street paving,
yesterday protested against the injustice.
City Engineer C1ausen, together with
President Ames, Mabon and Pottgieser,
of the board OF public works, Immediately
went out to where the work was being
done to investigate. 1t was discovered
that the stone which the contractors were
using was not up to the specification as
1t was considerably finer and contained
more dust than was called for. The Bar
Der Asphalt company. through their SUI
perintendent, John B. Robbins, were mott
fed to stop work until such time as they
could supply the necessary quality of
stone. Later in the day arrangements
were made with Jacob Lauer for suitable
crushed rock, which he had on hand, and
ST. Paul teamsters were soon busy haul
ing it to Arundel street.

success from the start If 1t was put under

SECOND YEARS COURSE
WILL Be Begun by the ST. Paul Col
IeEe of Law.


At a meeting Of the faculty Of the St.
Paul College Of Law held yesterday aft
ernoon. one Of the subjects discussed was
whether to start the second years course
of instruction this year. AS Is customary
with educational institutions, which are
starting, no provision had been made to
put the whole course in full swing at
once, but only to carry on the first years
work. This was a matter Of regret to a
number of those who had been one year
In attendance at the university and who
were anxious to relieve themselves Of the
discomforts and inconvenience Of going
back and forth to Minneapolis as well as
to take advantage of the law school here.
They started a movement to secure ac-
ton which would have them provided for
and commenced the circulation of the fol-
lowing petition and agreement:
1--WE. the undersigned, being informed
that 1t is the purpose of the st. Paul
College of Law to start running with only
its first years course in operation. re-
spectfully request of the faculty that
they do establish at the same time a sec
ond years course, so constructed as to fit
in with the work done by those who have
taken one. year at the State University
law school; and we do hereby agree to
take such course during the school year
1900-19O1.''
The matter was fully considered at the
meeting Of the faculty. and 1t was the
sense of that body that this demand COM
ing from just the sort of men for whom
the school had been created, could not be
denied. 1t was determined that If fifteen
men signed the demand the second years
work should be commenced with the
school year and that the instructors
should begin their preparation at once.
Since the meeting the required signatures
have been presented, and it is definitely
announced that the second years course
will be given this year.

WHO NAMES BANIFFS?
POLICE COURT JUDGES DISPUTE
THE AUTHORITY OF THE PO-
LICE COMMISSION
INVOLVES IMPORTANT ISSUE
Comptroller McCardy Says Council
Must Approve Police Pay Roll by
TWO-Tbirds MaJOrIty-De-
tails New Force.

Judges Hine and Orr. of the municipal
court yesterday commended that the no
lice commission has not the authority to
appoint batiiffs I'M the court, but say that
that power is vested In the mayor. The
law passed by the legislature In 1889 or
ganfzing the municipal court provides
that the mayor has the right to appoint
not to exceed three bailiffs and the
judges of the municipal court in tits city
declare that since the law Is a special
law, the commission has no right to take
upon themselves such authority.
If this decision is upheld the old baNns
will hold over
Comptroller McCardy holds that the
council must approve the pay rolls by a
two-thirds majority before the men can
get their pay. Corporation Attorney
Griggs states that he will not decide on
the matter whether the council must ap-
prove the pay rolls for a few days, as
he wishes more time in which 10 look
up the question. If he decides that the
councils approval is not necessary the
men will receive their pay at all earlier
date.
Chief O'Connor yesterday began the
work of detailing the men Of the new
force. Most of the men went to work
last night and this morning.

AdJt. Gen. Lambert Experimenting
With Various Intrenching Devices.
Adjt. Gen. Lambert is experimenting
with individual intrenching tools for the
state troops. He is trying to find some
thing that is effective and at the same
time light enough so that the soldier will
not throw 1t away.
Gen. Lambert yesterday received sam
pies of the small shovel invented by Mai.
Bell. of the regular army, now retired,
and approved by a board of officers of the
Third regiment, consisting Of Capts. Hale
and Hannay and Lieut.. Moore The in
strument is small steel shovel with two
handles, which fits over part Of the can
teen in such way as to be convenience

Observation has proved that a eanteen
Is about the last thing a soldier throws
away, and that is the reason for fitting
this over the canteen.

CONFLICTING STORIES TOLD
Deceased's Family AtIege Foul Play
and 81 900 Missing-AppOpfexy
Attributed by others as
Cause of Death.

Detectives were at work on the case OF
A. H. Hilderbrand, who died yesterday
afternoon at st. Joseph's hospital. Hi
derbrand was found in a stupefed condi-
ton about o'clock yesterday morning
in resort at 1S1 West Third. known as
Molly Henderson's." DR.. Lando was
called to administer to him, and reported
that he thought he was suffering from a
stroke of apoplexy, and advised his re-
moval to the hospital, where he died
shortly before noon yesterday.
1t is claimed by members of his family
that when he left home in the evening
he had over $1,000, and when found at the
Third street resort but $50 was on his
person. His wife is so positive IN her
statement that he had large amount of
money with him that the police placed
much credence in her story, and are push
ing the investigation vigorously.
Although the symptoms pointed to GER
ebral hemorrhage, there were other symp-
toms that would establish a reason for
thinking that he had been fouIly dealt
with. The peculiar condition of the pupils
of his eyes, the fever, which was very
high, and the fact that he was never
known to be subject to apopleetic treuh-
les all speak very strongly against the
theory that he was stricken with an apo
plectic fit, and the fact that little of the
money he was supposed to have with him
was found on his person, strengthens the
foul play theory.
People at the resort say that HfIder-
brand came to the place about 8 o'clock.
and they say that he started to leave
about an hour later. and before he reach
the door he fell as if seized with a shock
Of some kind.
There wer no marks of violence on Hill
derbrands body, and this leaves the foul
play theory to rest solely upon the poi
son idea. The family of 1ilderbrand will
push the investigation. Hi1derbrand was
in the employ of the Omaha road, in this
city, with whom he held a responsible
position i'll the freight department. He
was sixty wears of age

NATIONS OF THE WORLD
MARVELLOUS WILD WEST SHOW
REPRESENTS MANY OF THEM.

Headed by the famed scout, Buffalo Btlt
there will appear soon in this city one
of the greatest assemblages of horsemen
and soldiers that has ever been seen here.
1t is the annual tour of Buffalo Bills Wild
West and Congress of Rough Riders of the
World, and two performances will be Civ
en- in ST.. Paul. This organization needs
no Introduction, as it stands on its rec
Crd. Everything that is given In the spa
cious arena is real There as 600 persons,
who represent different nations and in
troduee the customs of their representa-
tive countries
Riding OF every description Is INDUCED
in, and some Of the feats performed are
of a very startling nature. The United
States cavalry IS represented by men who
have seen service and who give exhibit
tons of riding bareback with boots on;
the United. States artillery, with expert
enced gunners cowboys who ride bucking
bronehos.s Gossaeks whose riding is mar
Vicious; Arabs who do some very difficult
tricks and gun spinning; the German CUT
rassiers; with their famous sword drill;
the Queens Own Ianoars. IN tent pegging

has some new feats in the shooting line;
Johnny Baker. who has no superior as
a sharpsh0oter, and others.
The new additions added this season are
representative groups of natives from the
Philippine islands, Porto Rico and Ha-
waiians.
There will also be shows a vivid repre-
sentation of that heroic battle, the charge
Of San Juan hill. In this portion of the
programme special attention has been
paid to have it as near the real thing as
artists brushes and actual participants
can make 1t. There will be detachment
from Rooseyelt's rough riders, who were
in the midst Of this memorable charge, in
addition to q large number Of men who
served in the battle as members of the
United States regular cavalry, infantry
and artillery, and a number of volunteers
who fought in the Cuban war. The men
participating in this magnificent speeta-
Gle have their honorable discharges from
Uncle Sans service.
On the morning of the arrival, Col Cody
will lead magnificent parade, consisting
of all the varied features Of the exhibit
ton, which will march through the prin-
cipal streets Of the city. All Indians Fill
ipinos, Porto Ricans, Hawaiians, Mexi-
cans and other features of this great pro-
duction will be in the cavalcade, which
will be the grandest ever presented In the
annals Of public amusements.
