NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

Gov. Lind, at the request of Register
Of Deeds Frank c. Metcalf, of Mime
apolis has determined, or consented, to
proceed with an executive investigation
into the truth of the charges preferred by
Reinhold Zeglin, with reference to the
loss of a deed.
Gov. Lind has accordingly written to
County Attorney Reed of Hennepin
county, stating his intention, but he de-
clares that this does nor III any way pre-
vent the grand jury from taking the mat
ter up, as was suggested by him in his
first communication to the county at
torney of Hennepin county.
Meantime 1t gives Mr. Metcalf a chance
to present his side of the case, which has
not been given as wide publicity as have
the charges against him. Mr.. Metcalf
admits that erasures were made in the
record books, and says that 1t has been
the rule in the office to have erasures in
thes e books, when necessary, made with
knife, in order that there might be no
attempt to disguise the fact that erasurea
had been made. The fact of such eras-
ures thus being plain, the burden of
showing them to be improper or wrongful
remains on those who question the
records, he says. Erasures by means of
chemicals, he says, have been forbidden,
in order that the books might show for
themselves wherever clerical errors have
been made
II have not a copy of my letter to
County Attorney Reed with me-" said
Gov. Lind, when asked about the matter
last night, but I will be glad to give
you copy of 1t tomorrow 1t does not
matter, however, to the grand jury,
whether I have determined to pursue an
investigation The grand jury has the
right under the law to investigate the
matter and 1t is made its duty SO to do
1t is now reported from Minneapolis
that the leaf in Book 81, Miscellaneous
Record, In the office of the register of
deeds, Containing pages 12I-12S, has been
neatly cut out with a sharp knife or 3
pair of shears. These are the pages con-
tsIning the alleged copy of the deed Of
the M&cNar's to Reinhold Zeglin. The
leaf was intact three or four days ago.
and the absence was not known until
yesterday afternoon. When the fact be-
came noised about, 1t created sensation.
and the mutilating of the records was
severely criticised.
The grand jury met yesterday and was
expected to take up the Zeglin charges on
Gov. Lind's request
In view of the falling off Of business,
Register of Deeds Metcalf has notified his
clerks that from now until further no
tice they will work but half a day at
time and will be paid by the piece.

CHICAGO, Jan. S.-The renewal Of the
Harrison-Altgeld feud in the local De-
mocracy-indicated by the mayors re-
fusal to attend the luncheon given yes
terday to Manager Samuel B. Cook, of
the ways and means committee--is likely
to result in the party managers moving
the Democratic national headquarters
away from Chicago. The reason for
Mayor Harrison's refusal to be present
was the fact that ex-Gov. Altgeld was
expected to be present.
The national committeeman are ex-
ceedingly annoyed over the frequent re-
currence of the local wrangle, and are
considering the advisability of estab-
fishing the party tent in more har-
monious neighborhood. Norman E.
