board that he had delivered the body and
claimed that he was upheld by the laws
or the state in so doing. His attention
was called to his contract with the board
under which 1t was provided that the
bodies turned over to him should be con-
veyed to the county burying ground with
in forty-eight hours after he received
them, and also to the further provision in
the contract that he was simply the agent
of the board, and all acquisitions for
bodies should come through them. To
this Rockstroh said he had simply con-
formed to the law OF the state and act
ed ON the requisltion given him by the
medical committee.
1t developed yesterday that the remains
of Joseph MCGEE, who died at the city
hospital, Jan. Is, had been turned over
to Rockstroh, and that a burial permit
had been issued by the health depart
ment nine days later for the interment
Of MCGEE in the county cemetery. The
report of Supt. Hendry at the poor farm,
showed that the remains Of MCGEE had
not been received at the county burial
plot. and the records of the health de-
partment do not show that the remains
were buried at any other cemetery.
Rockstroh was not at his place of bust
ness yesterday afternoon, but his bust
ness partner J. E. Maroney, said there
was no truth In the statement that the
body of MCGEE had been turned over to
the medical college.
1.-THE remains of MCGEE were taken by
his brother to Danvers, MINI, for
burial" said Maroney "As to the dis
position OF the body of Flltzbauer," he
continued. "the board Of control have the
requisitiOn on which the body was turned
over to the medical committee"

The board Of control has had the fact
brought home to 1t that the contract
made with Jacob Rockstroh for the burial
of paupers has not been lived UP to and
there Is talk of holding the sureties on
the bond of Rockstroh to q strict account
ability. When the contract for the burial
OF the county poor was let last Septem-
Der 1t was decided by the board that in
order to avoid any scandal by the dis
position of bodies to medical colleges by
the contractor the acquisitions for all
bodies should be made on the board and
not on the undertaken. This was made &
provision of the contract and the under
taker was made the agent Of the board in
this particular.
Otto Filtzbauer died at the city hospital
the first week in January, and Jan. IL
an order was issued to Rockstroh by the
board of control for the burial of the
dead man. The records of the health de-
partment show that a burial permit was
issued to Rockstroh on the same date for
the interment of Filtzbauer in the county

Ffltzbauer came to st. Paul and expressed
desire to have the remains Of his uncle

reached the county cemetery near the

charge of the burial plot said it had not
been brought there
Rockstroh when questioned about the
interment of FiltZbauer by the board, at
first stated that the remains had been
buried by friends OF the dead man. Being
confronted with the statement that the
records of none of the cemeteries showed
the burial and that no permit had been
issued by the health Office to remove the
body out of the city Rockstroh admitted
that he had turned the body over TO thu

TO prove this he submitted to the board

JOHNSON IN CLEVELAND.
Trying to Secure Ball Park for
American League.

CLEVELAND, o.. March 2-President
Ban Johnson, of the American league, is
still in the city. Today he had a long
interview with Frank de Haas Robson,
trying to induce the latter to reconsider
his determination not to lease the base
ball grounds in this city to the Amer
lean league. No agreement was reached,
Robson insisting that the grounds here
could not be used by en- American
league club if that organization placed
a club in Chicago. President Johnson
said tonight that the attitude OF Mr..
Robson would not change his plans. He
was determined to place a club in Chi
caGo. Comiskey's team is to be trans
ferred from st. Paul to Chicago, and if the
National league refuses to extend the
league agreement to the new organiza-
ton there will be war. 1t is intimated
that the National league may try to or
ganize minor league to fight the Amer
lean.
President Johnson is hopeful as to
the future. He declares that the Amer
lean league will have a successful sea-
son because the people are with it.
