WHERE is The MONEY
RENTAL FOR LEvEE LEASES LONG
OVERDUE AND UNAC-
COUNTED FOR
IN ONE INSTANCE $500 is DUE
Many Cases Brought to Light Where
Not One Cent Has Ever
Been Paid the
City.

According to the number of levee
leases now in existence the city should
be securing a revenue of several hum
bred dollars a year, but investigation or
the number now in progress finds several
who are indebted to the city to consld-
cradle extent.
Spectators in times past drew con-
siderable revenue through the medium
of these leases, and the investigation
brings to light number that have ney-
er paid the city dollar. The rentals
as a rule run from 81 to SIS, While in
several instances they are as much as
500 year. In the latter case there
is one that is behind fully $500.
Five years ago the payment Of the
required rental received little attention
from the leaseho1ders until attention
was called to the fact and a demand
made by the city. Since that time some
of the leaseholders have come forward
and paid their rental annually, but there
are a number that have given 1t no
attention whatever.
The investigation also develops the
fact that only in few instances have
the full requirements of the leases been
lived up to. In the case of some build
ings have never been erected, others
have failed to employ the number of men
agreed on while in a few cases nothing
whatever has been done to hold the
ground In the majority of instances,
however, there has been an attempt to
keep faith, and this is practically recog-
nized by the city as covering, all om1s-
ions

REUNION OF ALUMNI
DIR. ALEXANDER M'GREGOR SPEAKS
FOR sECTARJAN COLLEGE
After the Addresses the Evening Is
Devoted to Informal Talks
Between the Old and
Present Students.

The Twin City Carleton club held it's
annual .midwinter meeting last evening
at the rooms of the Chamber OF Com
merce, in the Endieott building, and as
all alumni and present pupils OF Carleton
tional association were invited to attend,
the convention of the Minnesota Educa-
tional association were invited to attend,
the gathering was a large one. w. B.
Glow, of this city, president of the club,
presided over the meeting, and among
those in attendance was DR.. James w.
Strong, who has for thirty-two years
been president of Carleton college.
DR.. Alexander McGregor, pastor OF
Park Congregational church of this city.
delivered an address on the subject, 1.-The
Christian College; Its Place and Work, %
which was a strong argument in behalf
of Christian teaching in college and
the superior benefits to be derived from
education in a Christian college. He ar
gued that an education without religious
teaching and training was not complete
and also that the Christian college from
the very fact of it's smaller size can ac-
complfsh more thorough work than the
larger institutions of learning
President Strong by request addressed
the meeting, and in the course of his
remarks emphasized some of the points
touched upon by DR.. McGregor in mis- ao,
dress. He said. that in the comparison
of the Christian college and the larger
institutions of learning too much impor-
lance could not be given to the advaa-
tages of the former in the closer per-
sonal contact between teacher and pupil
and the personal influence thus exercised.
Christian teaching he considered very
important part of an education,
AT the close of DR.. Strong's remarks
the formal character of the meeting was
abandoned and the remainder of the
evening was devoted to informal CONVEX,

IN A LEGAL TANCLE.
DIR. RUDOLPH SCHIFFMANN EN-
JOINS MAYOR FROM CLOSING
LIGHTING CONTRACT
SAYS AWARDING WAS ILLEGAL
No Other Company, He Says, Was
Given q Fair Chance to Do
Business With the
City.

Strong of the opinion that the city
was paying too great price for its gas
oline street lighting, President Rudolph
Schiffmann, of the common council, yes
terday enjoined Mayor Smith from sign
ing the council proceedings granting the
contract to the American Development
company.
The order was secured through Judge
Lewis, and is returnable today, when ar
gument will be entered into by the con-
testing parties as to whether it shall
be permanent. The order is based on
the contention that the awarding Of the
contract was Illegal in that the prelimi-
naries were not in keeping with the re-
quirements of the charter.
When the contract was placed in Mayor
Smiths hands for his signature it was
discovered that the requisite bond was
missing, and this fact prevented the
signing of the order. 1t had to be taken
to the legal department to have the error
corrected, and while there the order was
served on Mayor Smith and the other
officials through whose hands it would
have to pass.
There was some lively scurrying on
the part of the American Development
company yesterday afternoon, and it is
expected that the hearing this afternoon
will be of an interesting nature. 1t was
expected that the Cleveland NapOr Light
ing company would bring the enjointng
proceedings, and the fact that Dr.
Schiffmann was found to be behind the
controversy elected considerable surprise
and comment. He has voted against let
ting the contract to the local company
ever since the question came up, but
beyond that has displayed little interest.
He says the city is paying too much
money for its light, and he wants to see
the evil corrected. The electric and gas
light contracts placed with the St. Paul
Gas Lighting company were not dis
turbed. Officials Of that company were
busy yesterday afternoon closing the
deal and securing themselves against
any litigation that might be brought
Seen last night with reference to the
matter, DR.. Shiffmann said his reasons
for acting were set forth in the applica-
ton for an injunction. He thought no
other company had been afforded a rea-
sonable chance to secure the contract
on fair terms. He wished to secure for
the people of st. Paul whatever adj
vantage might accrue from unrestricted
competition.

M|ESENs IN COURT
ANTON AND son PETER ARRAIGNED
ON CHARGES PREFERRED BY
DIR. WOOLWAY
HE SAYS HE WAS ASSAULTED
Trouble Occurred shortly After ~
O'ClOci. Christmas Night in
the Presence of Two
PoIice Officers.

Anton Miesen and Peter Miesen were
before Judge Hine in the police court
yesterday afternoon on warrants sworn
out by DR.. ]. C. Woolway. The former
is charged with keeping his saloon in
the Washburn block open after midnight,
and Peter Miesen is charged with assault
and battery. Both secured continuance
until Jan. B.
DR.. Woolway, in speaking of the mat
ter to e Clio last night, stated
that he retired early Christmas night,
as he was completely exhausted from
loss of sleep the night before, and that
he was awakened by a terrible uproar
and singing in the saloon downstairs
about 1920 at night He got up and
called UP Anton Miesen's residence by
phone, but received no answer. Sudden
ly he heard another noise, and going out
into the hall and looking down into the
rotunda he saw a waiter and another
man taking a woman out, and she was
resisting violently and using foul Ian
guage. FINALLY" said Mr.. Woolway,
''the noise became so unbearable that
I partially dressed, and putting on my
overeoat, went downstairs and out, on
the street, in search of policeman
Dr. Woolway says he was Standing IN
the doorway of the saloon with Sergeant
Murnane and Officer Porter few min
utes later when Peter MieSen came out
and asked him why he did not complain
about the noise made in the bowling al
ley next door. To this question DR.. Wool
way replied that it had nothing to do
with the noises in the saloon. DR.. Wool
way alleges that he had barely spoken
the words before Miesen struck him a
blow with his fist on the cheekbone.
Sergeant Murnane and Officer Porter
stepped in between them, and the ser
geant told Miesen to behave himself.
Miesen was taken to the central police
station, but no complaint was lodged
against him until DR.. Woolway had seen
Chief OConnor next morning.
