CLAIH CONTROL OF FUNDS

POLICE BOARD SAY CHARTER
GIVES THEM THIS POWER.
The board of police commissioners take
the position that the new charter pives
them full control of the finances of their
own department without any interference
from the council. The section upon which
they base their claim is as follows:
All moneys belonging to the CITY or tho
school district should be under the con-
troll of the common council eXcepf az
otherwise provided for in this charter
and shall be paid out only on the order
of the comptroller, countersigned nv fha
mayor and city clerk and duly author
lied by a resolution Of the common conn
Gil, two-thirds of the whole number of
each body voting for it.
The board lays special emphasis upon
the words except as otherwise provided
for in this charter"
On this point Corporation Attorney
Markham thinks it entirely against the
intentions of those who framed the char
ter, claiming that the council should
have control of all money belonging TO
the city. But some of the charter COM
mlssioners regard the position of the 20
ice commission the correct one, and that
the council are powerless in the matter.
except to fix the maximum amount to be
paid out each year by the commission.
There is here chance for knotty cues
ton to arise that the courts may be CALI
ed upon to decide.

LETTER IS DELAYED.
MARSHAL GRIMsHAw HAS NOT
GOTTEN GOVERNORS BILLET.

United States Marshal W. H. Grim
shaw stated yesterday afternoon that as
yet he had not received any communica-
ton from Gov. Lind about certain
United States deputy marshal being
sympathizer with the Indians, and allow
ed whisky to be sold to them in his dis
trict.
Marshal Grimshaw said that he was
not supposed to chase down Indian ru-
mors without some one issuing COM
plant first, and that, furthermore, he did
not have any fund for that purpose. Mar
shall Grimshaw also said that the gov
eminent has special agents for that very
purpose, and it is their duty to swear out
warrants if there is any Illegal selling OF
whisky. to Indians. When seen by q
Gil o b e. reporter yesterday afternoon
Marshal Grimshaw made the following
statement: ..,tv
81 am not the recipient of any kind
of communication from Gov. Lind, and
I certainly cannot reply to him before
he addresses me. I don't understand
that there is any difference between US.
I certainly have no criticism to offer Hc
this time. 1 do not know that he does
not approve Of my acts in the north. I
never had q deputy by the name Of
Clark. The governor knows the names of
all my deputies and their residences. None
of them ever sold whisky to either In
dian or white men. I do not believe he
has said or thinks So"
Speaking of the article that appeared
in the Minneapolis Journal the other
evening, Marshal Grimshaw said that 1t
was entirely different from his Views, and
he did not hesitate about saying so.

LIGHTS FOR THE LIBRARY
PRINCIPAL TOPIC CONSIDERED By
NEW BOARD LAST NIGHT.

The new library board held an ad-
journed session last evening to hear the
report of the building committee, but
that committee not being ready to
report much Of the business to come be-
fore the board was postponed.
The matter for the contract for lights
furnished by the st. Paul Gas Light COM
pany was taken up but after a conn
parison of the expense bills previously in
Cured and now waiting for payment.
1t was decided to postpone action until a
meeting of the committee could be had
some time next week.
The bill presented for ten months
lighting amounted to S3,928. The gas
company agreed to put in separate meters
for each tenant in the building.
On motion it was ordered that the cost
of lights for the library be charged to
the maintenance fund. Also by motion
it was ordered that the lighting Of this
building other than is provided for, be
made fixed charge on the rentals de-
rived from the building"
The name of Robert Exley was pre-
scented to the board for appointment as
elevator man., and on motion he was
chosen, the salary to be $50 per month.
This includes the running of the ele-
vator on Sundays, If necessary, but the
board thought it would not be necessary.
A copy of the complete library list was,
on molten, ordered to be deposited with
the city comptroller for safety in case
of fire.
The running expenses Of the library
were given at $500 per month.
At the close of the session the board
was addressed by Rev. A. L. Keeneke,
pastor Of the Dayton Bluff Methodist
church, who desired to place gospel
tent on the vacant lot adjoining the
library building for the purpose OF mold
ing meetings for a week or ten days. The
proposition was referred to the admins
tration committee with power to grant
or reject, as they might deem best. The
board adjourned to meet one week from
last evening.
The library will be opened Monday at
9 o'clock a. M, Juvenile department at

who has held the position of secretary
for nearly a dozen years. will probably
step out to make way for some one else.
The salary attached to the office, for the
character Of the work done, Is regarded
as good one, and as Capt Beebee has
had a good thing for many years, the
honor and spells will doubtless go to an
other.
Several changes were made in the ad-
