WILL BE PUT TO USE
THE OLD POsToFFICE BUILDING
is TO BE REMoD-
Fled
CHANGES TO COST $4,000
Will Accommodate Several Federal
Offices to Avoid OvercrOvding of
New Federal BufIding-Ste-
vens in Charge.

A plan is on foot to utilize the old post
office building as soon as Uncle Sans
new building is in readiness for occu-
pancy by the postoff1ce department. The
plan is to remodel the building and oc-
cupy it as a custom house and interna,
revenue Office. This will necessitate re-
pairs and changes to the amount of $780,
0O0 or more. Congressman Stevens will
go to Washington next December and
ask for an appropriation to cover this
amount Those who are in position to
judge say that there is no doubt but that
the appropriation will be granted, and
that the work of renovating the old
building will be commenced as soon as
it is vacated, which will be early in the
spring.
The specifications for the proposed
changes have been drawn in " ashington
and are in the hands of Congressman
Stevens, together with estimates of the
cost of the work. While the exact plans
are not yet made public, it is under
stood that the specifications call for a
complete renhodeling of the interior of the
building and the fitting of it with all
modern conveniences and in modern style.
The change will be agreeably received
by all who are connected with the gov
eminent service here in ST. Paul, as it
would crowd the new building were all
the offices to be located in it.

MAY TAKE INITIATIVE
FIRE BOARD DESTROYS OF IN
CREASING SALARIES
Legal Department Outlines Il Plan
by Which Increase in Yearly
Appropriation Can
Be Secured.


1t is possible that the board of fire
commissioners may take the initiative in
a demand for the amending of the char
ter to the extent of allowing them a
yearly appropriation that will permit an
increase in the salaries of all tiremen
Two weeks ago the fremen presented
their grievances before the board, but
the members, while admitting the reas-
onableness of the demand, had to refuse
owing to the fact that the amount Of
money yearly allowed them under the
charter would not permit of any further
entertainments.
In a letter to President Warner, of the
board, yesterday, Assistant Corporation
Attorney Griggs outlined plan by which
the much desired end might be attained
He advises the presence of the board at
the meeting of the conference com
mittee in December and the filing of a
request for amendments to the charter
permitting the increases.
While there is a demand for changes
that will permit larger expenditures on
the part of several of the city depart
ments, yet there are many who are OPP
posed to any tampering with the charter,
they fearing that the original intent Of
the act will suffer by the acts of design
ing politicians who might possibly take
advantage of the opportunities offered

TALK MISSIONARY WORK
CONGREG ATIONAL SOCIETIES DIS
CUSS FOREIGN MISSIONS
Missionary as an Agent of Civi1iza-
ton Receives ConsideratiOn-Re-
ports on Work From All Guar
ters of the Earth.

The quarterly session of 1.-THE home and
foreign missionary societies of the st.
Paul Congregational churches was held
yesterday in the Park Congregational
church. About fifty women were In at
tendance. Mrs. ]. l.. ComingS, of st.
Anthony Park, presided at the morning
session, and Miss Margaret J. Evans,
of Mortified, occupied the chair during
the afternoon. Most of the state officers
of the Congregational union were in at
tendance which lent additional interest
to the session.
Miss Nichols, of Plymouth church,
gave a report of the annual home mis-
sionary convention at Boston. Miss
Nichols criticised the convention some
what, asserting that few decisions were
reached and that there was a want of
concentration of forces. She had been
surprised to discover that the Massa-
chusetts women were opposed to the
practice of sending boxes to the frontier
missionaries, believing that the boxes
tended to pauperize the missionaries by
making their fiocks dependent upon the
boxes. Miss Nichols stated that she told
the Eastern women that whatever the
effect of the boxes might be many of
the missionaries families would have
been in want last year had they not re-
ceived them.
In the discussion which followed Miss
Nichols report Mrs Dawley, of Park
church, offered the suggestion that be-
sides the barrels of cast-off clothing sent
annually by the societies of the union,
the city union itself send a box to an
institute, to be selected, the box to con-
tain money or gifts. Mrs. DawIey, of
Park church; Miss Nichols, of Plymouth
church, and Mrs. j. H. Sammis, of Olivet
church, Merriam Park, were made a
committee to look into the feasibility of
sending such box.
The first part of the afternoon session
was occupied with the delivery of mes
sages or notes from foreign fields. These
were given as follows:
Miss Abbott in Bombay India repre-
scented by Miss W. A. Wood, Mime
apolis; Miss Moulton and Miss Hartwell,
in China. represented by Miss w. A
Wood, Minneapolis; Miss Moulton and
Miss Hartwell in China, represented by
Mrs. Topper, Minneapolis; Miss Bar
rows and Miss Mason in Japan, repre-
sented by Miss ]. NJ Anderson Mime
apolis; Miss Holt. a new missionary en-
route to a foreign field, represented BY
Mrs. II. G. Webster, Minneapolis.
Miss Evans gave a talk on the COM
ing missionary campaign and a discus
sion of this subject followed
A paper ON 1.-The Missionary as an
Agent of Civilization written by Mrs.
Gracey, of Rochester, N Y and read by
Miss Comings was a feature of, the after

Minneapolis, gave talk on her work in

KELLY is ELECTED
SUCCESSOR TO GEoRGE~B. WHITE
HORNE IS FINALLY
CHOSEN
ALDERMEN ACTED LAST NIGHT
Board COncurs in Assembly's Choice,
Very Much to Alderman
Hunts Satisfac-
ton.

Daniel Kelly is now member of the
board of county commissioners. The
board of aldermen last night settled his
election by giving concurrence to the as
sembly resolution naming him as George
B. Whitehorne's successor, and Mayor
Smith will today complete the transac-
ton by aftixing his signature to the act.
Preceding the call for a vote Duncan
Council, well known blacksmith. spoke
volubly for the selection of Charles Fer
rier as Mr.. Whitehornes successor, but
he failed to make an impression
Aid. Hunt could not suppress an audible
chuckle at the way things were going on,
and in registering his vote for Mr.. Kelly
remarked that it was odd to see the ma
jority falling into line after their emphatic
declaration that no other man could have
the place since their own candidate was
turned down.
His remarks were received in silence,
though there was an evident itching on
the part of several to return the CONVEX
sation with interest. The quick call of
the vote prevented any reply.
Mr.. Kelly's selection settles contro-
verSy that threatened to be long drawn
out, and it is not thought that the coun-
in their councils. There was some talk
to the effect that the board would not
recognize the authority of the council to
fill vacancy in their ranks, but the
members say that the rumor is without
foundation.
Mr.. Kelly is at present engaged in the
zeal estate business and has long been
a resident of st. Paul. His selection as
a member of the board will not find him
in new company, as this will be his third
term as county commissioner.

flee of the county attorney.
ID. w. LAWYER, attorney for McNichols,
attacked the validity of the requisition
papers on the ground that they were
signed by Lieut.. Gov. Northcott, Of Him
OILS, as acting governor There was.
he argued, no such'officer as acting gov
ernor, and if the papers were to be sign
ed by Mr. Northcott it should be as lieu

technical objections to the requisition
papers. Assistant County Attorney o.
FL. O'Neill represented the state.
Mr.: Lawler gave notice that if the
requisition was sustained the case would
be appealed to the United States supreme
