PETERSON HITS AGAIN.
Aims Another Blow at Revenues of
Telegraph Companies.

This is preposterous, leg-pulling
scheme and is so obvious on its face as
to admit of no other construction. 1t IS
unworthy the consideration OF law
making body"
Mr.. Roberts thus describes the men
tai anguish, bill Of S. d. Peterson, which
seeks to indemnify persons to whom
messages Of death have been sent
through any telegraph company, when
such message has been unduly delayed
through negligence of the company, IN
its deliverance after being received at
the telegraph office.
Representative Peterson at one time
claimed a damage done him by the West
ern Union company, which it seems
transmitted a message alleged to have
been sent by him and carrying with 1t
an odious nom de plume. The aggrleVed
member took the matter to court and
was given a judgment of $500 against
the company. Some of his colleagues.
who are disposed to question the SIN"
cerity Of his motions in presenting the
mental anguish and two or three other
measures relating to the telegraph COM
panies think if he was not sdt1sned
with the courts award, he ought to set
tie his differences with the company out
side of the legislature. One of his bills
reduces fees which telegraph companies
are allowed to charge and another raises
the gross earnings tax to 10 per cent.
Mr.. finland went to the vitals OF the
question yesterday when, during the
discussion on the bill, he turned to Mr.
Peterson and inquired us this not
! personal matter between you and the
telegraph company"
sEmphaticalIy not" replied Mr.. Peter
! son.
| Continuing, Mr.. finland declared it to
be impossible to place money estimate
or indemnity upon ones mental anguish
and III this connection he said the Dill
was not constitutional.

previous to yesterday it found it's way
into the house, by some mysterious
means recommended for passage The
members of the committee deny any re-
sponsibility for such Recommendation

On motion of MIR. Peterson the bill was
placed at the head of general orders by
| a vote of 81 to 80, and will come up TO-
day for further consideration.

Mr.. Peterson emphasized that state
ment that it would be impossible to elm
iEate politics from the management of
the board. 'At present we have business
men at the head of these boards who
give their time for the good of the state
without pay and who could not be hired
to do the work at any price. Now you
propose to hire three or five men to take
their places at a salary each of $500
year. Do you suppose that these men
would not be politicians? Yes, indeed, and
their knowledge of such affairs would
be about as crude as the average office
seekers knowledge is about most things.
Do we propose to trade off these COM
petent, unselfish business men for sheer
politicians?"
AS to the members of the board being
appointed by the governor and con-
freres, Mr. Peterson said it might just
as well have been prescribed that they
be appointed by Gov Van SAINT, for that

THEY JUMPED ON JONES
FAUL MAN TAKEN FOR MISS
ING NILES, MICH, BANK
CASHIER
BEGGED HIM TO COME HOME
Johnson's Brothers and Wife Were
Certain the SANITY City Mans
Handwriting Was That
of JOh9sOn.

CHICAGO, March 13.-Charles C. Jones
st. Paul, had a clear conscience and an
absent mind when he registered at the
Grand Pacific hotel. A short time late,
he was gasping over three letters. the
trend OF which was somewhat as follows:
Dear Husband: Come home to you
sorroWing wife and children. We are
Dear Brother: Come home. We know
you are In trouble, but all will end well
come nome Your brothers will stick
by you. Only come home
Mr.. Jones, of st. Paul, wiped his brow.
Say he said, turning to Clerk Shaw
here's some mistake. Honest. there is
I'm Jones-C. C. Jones-St Paul. railroad

BODY. haven't got anybody to run away
from, and wouldn't run If l could. What
happened to JONES' whew; 1 thought that
was only fiction. Gimme my kew. III
lock myself up before I'm discovered.
MI. Jones, of st. Paul, was the victim
OF circumstances. He had been mistaken
LOT CHARLES A. Johnson, the missing Niles.
Mich, bank cashier The letters thar
perturbed him had been intended for
Johnson. 1t was not until Mr.. Jones
caught his breath and ventured from his
room that the story developed.
HOW IT HAPPENED
When Mr. Jones came to town and
placed his name on the register. he was
thinking of important business he had
to attend to that day. His preoccupied
air and hurried manner were noticed nv
Clerk Shaw.
1t so happened that a short time later
a brother of the Niles cashier walked un
to the hotel desk and looked over the
register. His Sye fell on the name Of e.
e. Jones, written in a rather cramped
backhand. 1t was his brothers writing
ne declared, and this seemed certainty.
when he secured a description of the
nervous Mr.. Jones of the preoccupied air
The second brother then was called in.
HE was equally certain it was the writing
OF the Niles man, but to remove all
doubts the brothers sent a telegram to
Mrs. Johnson asking her to come to Chi
cago, as they believed they had located
her husband.
Mrs. johnson arrived the following
morning and instantly pronounced the
writing to be that of her husband. They
jumped at the conclusion that he had
assumed the name OF Jones to conceal
his identity.
Pressing business had called Mr.. Jones
to Milwaukee. When he returned the
three notes were handed to him. Mr.
Jones is in st. Paul now He would feel
more secure were he at the north pole
is the opinion of Clerk Shaw.
