ONE MAN AS ROOTER
Heroic Task Assigned DR.. O'Byrne
of the Chicago P. & S.
THE MEDICS ARE A HUSKY TEAM
NaEs.y of Them Veterans of Previous
Years-TO-day's Game Opens
Their Season.

Sixteen men came up from Chicago this
morning to play and root for the College
OF Physicians and Surgeons in their foot
I ball game with the Minnesota university
giants. In the party were fifteen players,
H. Fl. Everett, the manager, and DR.. @. G.
O'Byrne, of the faculty, chief and only
rooter. The physicians have not had much
practice this year, in fact, to-days game
is their first this year, but they are all
veterans of the gridiron and physically
are in pretty fair condition Six Of last
crowd down to one touchdown are in to-
days lineup and the others are old play
ers and have made regulations in football
toggery.
The players are as follows: Ingham.
right end; Schillo right tackle; Barribin,
right guard; Cory, center; Little, left
guard; Lockwood, left tackle; SawtelIe.
left end; Donkle, quarter; Pickett, right
half; Bothne, captain and left half; Du-
mas, full back; Yates, Hewins and Mon
ahan, substitutes. Of these, Schillo, Cory
formerly of Wisconsin "U," Lockwood Of
Michigan, Donkle, another Wisconsin
man, Pickett and Bothne, formerly of
Northwestern, were in last years team.
Little was with the fast Iowa team last
season, while Ingham captained the Iowa
scrubs" Dean and Dowdall, the speedy
ends of last years eleven, were expected
to be in the game, but could not get away.
Neither could Turner, the full back. This
place will be filled by Dumas. formerly
captain of the South Side High school.
The doctors said that they expected to
be beaten, but predicted that the Minne
sofas would have to work The five CEN
ter men weigh over 200 pounds each and
Schillo and Lockwood are said to have no
superior as tackles
The visitors look upon Minnesota as
possibility for the football champion
ship of the middle west the others he
ing Northwestern and Wisconsin. Chi
cago and Illinois are already out while
Iowa they think will not be as strong
as last year. Michigan is a doubtful
quantity and may surprise the prophets
but no team need fear Purdue or Indiana
II the old members of the Minnesota
team play the game they did last year. the

quently happens in football that vet

pointment and the football "sharps" have
not yet had sufficient information on the
work of the gophers to place them very

Sheriff Megaarden Has Now
Refunded Sdss8o. o7.
NO EXPLANATION MADE
Deputy State Examiner Koerner Is
Going Over the Bouks.
GRAND JURY TO TAKE UP THE CASE
Action by the Governor Regarded as
Probable Irrespective of the
G. J.'s Findings.

| The money paid into the county treasury
fees and Irregularities in his accounts,
now amounts to $S,589.97. Deputy State
Bank Examiner H. G. Koerner has been
at work on the sheriffs books for the
past three days, and his investigation has
already unearthed a very ugly state of
affairs which Mr.. Megaarden has not yet
attempted to explain, simply contenting
himself with repaying the money de-
manded from him.
In addition to irregularities in tax mat
ters and in his refundments to Hennepin
county for the board of United States
prisoners, the investigation has also
brought to light peculiar conditions in
connection with the sheriff's charges for
| taking children to the state training school
at Red Wing. A comparison of these ac-
counts and the records kept at the school
show the county has paid full fare for
children under age, when they either rode
free OF paid only half fare. Moreover, it
has been the custom Of the sheriff to send
three or four, and to charge the county
with travelling expenses for an attendant
in each individual case, although one man
only was sent with the party, the dates
being changed in the bills so as to make
1t appear that only one child was taken
down at a time.
In one instance two separate charges
have been made for the same child. and In
f, another charge is made for a child of
whom the state authorities know nothing
and who never was received at the state
school, The excess fees collected from
the county in this manner, in the aggre-
gate, amount to a considerable sum: and
the entries upon the sheriff's books make
1t appear that the overcharges were not
the result of error, but were pre-
meditated.
In certain cases it is said that Mr.
Megaarden issued his personal check for
the expenses of taking children to Red
Wing, and afterwards swore to the genu-
ineness of an account in which the cost
of such trips was more than doubled
Just what attitude the county attorneys
Office will assume in the matter is not
known. At present every effort is being
made to secure the repayment of the
money irregularly collected, and it. is
thought that Mr.. Megaarden has already
made restitution of practically the full
amount
Whether or not tn sheriff is indicted
by the grand jury which meets next week,
and which will have the evidence before
it, is regarded as among the possibilities
that Governor Van SAINT may remove Mr..
Megaarden from Office as soon as the bank
examiner makes formal report of the re-
suit of his investigation. Megaarden's
political enemies will see that the charges
against him are not allowed to go " de-
fault They have already accomplished
his ruin politically.

PEACE IS in SIGHT
Board of Control Extends Olive
Branch to Normal Board.
MESSAGE GAME JUST IN TIME
Were Planning Resistance
Duluth Normal to Open.

The dove Of peace once more hoverE
over normal school board affairs. The
state normal school board met in st. Paul
to-day, prepared to start legal proceed
ings to assert their independence. The
conference committee had a report pre-
pared, stating that no agreement could
be reached
Just before the noon recess, and before
the all important question had been
reached, a messenger arrived from the
board of control, bearing letter from
President Leavitt. Mr.. Leavitt explained
the position of the board of control mem
bers and said they were anxious to reach
an adjustment of differences, if any real
differences existed. The board had no
intention of closing negotiations, or Of
being arbitrary
In view of this letter, prospects for q
settlement are again bright, and the nor
NAL board did not take the radical step
contemplated. 1t was decided to continue
negotiations through the committee.
Duluth Normal to Open.
The Duluth normal school will open
the first Tuesday in January. Professor
w. I. Phelps, resident director, reported
this morning that the building will not
be ready by Nov. /, the time formerly
set, owing chiefly to the delay in getting
sewer and water connections. It had been
practically decided to defer the opening
of the school until next year, but the
question arose how to employ President
Bohannon. He has been engaged at a
salary of $4,000 year, on contract The
question arose how he should be en-
ployed. Professor Phelps wanted him
used as missionary to work up an in
terest in normal school work, preparatory
to the opening next year. This did not
meet with favor. 1t was proposed to use
him at the other schools, but the resi-
dent directors refused to agree to this,
as his salary would be charged up to the
various schools. Mr.. Bohannon said that
the board of control was not disposed to
pay his salary before the school opens.
The board then decided to open this
year. in order not to lose Mr.. Bohannons
services while paying him salary. The
date was fixed by resolution, and will be
Jan. 7.
The appropriation for this years run
nirg expenses is $4,000, which, from jan
uary to June, will be sufficient for the
small corps Of teachers needed There
will be about $1,000 available for teachers,
aside from the principal.

created or the emoluments whereof shall
have been increased during such time, and
no person holding any office under the United
States shall be q member of either house dur
ing his continuance in Office.
If the bill passes next winter, as it
apparently must, Judge Morris is out
of it.
Here is where Hiram F. Stevens enters
the scene. Mr.. Stevens Is a Iong-headed
individual and a man of considerable in
fiuence in both business and politics He
would have been a candidate for the SEN
ate last winter, but as Senator Clapp was
first in the field, kept out Of 1t in order
not to embarrass the chances of st. Paul.
CIapp Opposed stevens.
Mr.. Stevens ambition has been for some
time, however, in the direction OF the fed
eral branch, for which he is in every way
qualified Realizing that Judge Morris
Is out OF the question, he began to figure
on the appointment, and his friends began
work with members of the Minnesota
delegation. $3.50
Senator Clapp brought the canvas to an
abrupt close by stating point blank to
one Of Stevens friends:
1T is no use for you to talk to me about
Stevens. / am against him, and he will
never get the appointment with my con-
sent"
That marked the end of the. Stevens can
didacy for federal Judge, but was by no
means signal for Stevens to subside.
He at once announced that if Clapp want
ed fight, he could get it, and that he
would himself be a candidate for the
senate on the expiration of Clapp's term.
With Morris and Stevens out, the pros
poets are good for a grand scramble for
the judgeship when it is created. St. Paul
will probably have several candidates. and
Duluth will be heard from. The Office is
one on which both senator's and members
of the house agree.
All other federal appointments are in
the hands Of the senators alone. They will
all be taken up together next winter dur
ing the session of congress, and parti-
toned to various parts of the state The
district attorneyship and the federal
judgeship will go into the pot" with the
rest
1t Is practically settled, however. that
the district attorneyship will go to Min
neapolis. The senators have probably de-
cided already on the gentleman who is
to succeed NJ. D. Purdy in May
Fred Won Baumbach of Alexandria will
be reappointed collector of internal reve-
nue., and John Peterson of New Ulm will be
given another term as collector of Gus
toms. Their terms expire this winter but
no candidates have come out against them
and their appointment is conceded.
The terms of other officers expire at
various times. but all will be decided on
together next winter.

H. F. Stevens a Candidate
for u. S. Senate.
CLAPP HAS A FIGHT On
He Declined to Indorse Stevens for
Federal Judgeship.
WAR CARRIED INTO AFRICA, THEN
Stevens Action VIII Make the Ju-
dicial Contest More Than
Usually Interesting.

Hiram F. Stevens of St. Paul is pros
pective candidate for United States sena-
tor in 1904. to succeed Moses E. Clapp.
Mr.. Stevens has made no public an
nouncemnt, but has made the natfooted
statement to friends, through whom II
comes to The Journal
Hiram F. Stevens is a man of state
wide reputation. He was in the state
senate several terms, and is now chair
man OF the commission on revision of the
statutes. He could not be seen by e
Journal to-day, being in San Fran
cisco, where he is a lay delegate to the
general convention of the Episcopal
church.
There has not been the best of feeling
between Senator Clapp and Mr.. Stevens
for some years. OF late the breach has
grown wider, eliminating in Mr. Stevens
determination to be a candidate No one
doubts that he will prove thorn in the
flesh to the junior senator. He will at
least divide the St. Paul support.
A JudEeship Involved.
The story Of the Clapp-Stevens i'm
broglio involves the partition Of federal
offices in Minnesota, and has more than a
personal significance
The Minnesota delegation in congress is
fully convinced that the state needs an
other federal judge. The business de-
mands it. According to Judge Sanborn,
the work done by Judge Lochren is heav-
Ter than that of any other federal dis
trict judge in the country, and he needs
immediate relief
Whether the state is divided or not, an
other judgeship must be created this win
ter.
The delegation unanimously favors
Judge Page Morris of Duluth, for the po-
sition. Judge Morris, unfortunately, Us a
member of congress, and is absolutely

He also, at the request of Admiral
Schleys counsel, introduced another
copy, "in which," he said, ''you will see
there was no correction. 1t appeared orig
inally as Santiago
The court examined the original papers
and the press copies with care, and it
was agreed that the papers should again
be printed in the record
Captain Lemly then requested that all
the papers in Admiral Schley's possession
bearing upon the case, be supplied, and
Mr. .Rayner replied for the admiral that
he admiral Schley) had no more papers.
Letter Regarded Important.
Commander Hodgson was then called to
continue his testimony OF yesterday. He
was asked by Captain Lemly about his
correspondence with Admiral Schley con-
corning what the Judge advocate denom-
mated newspaper "colloquy." The wit
ness took exception to the use Of the word
sscolloquy" and Captain Lemly replied that
this was the witness own characterize
tion. The letters were then read by the
Judge advocate, Commander Hodgson iden-
tifying the various documents as they
were separately presented.
Mr.. Rayner said that II desired the let
ters would be accepted as evidence and
that they could be printed without being
read.
Captain Lemly replied, however, that he
considered that the letters have an i'm
portant bearing upon the precept and that
therefore he preferred to read them.

CARLIST RISING
Is the LOng-Coming Event Positively
Coming?

Barcelona, Oct. 5.-Reports received
from Cape Cerbera say advices received
there from various points along the from
tier show that the Carlist preparations
are nearly completed. They have ac-
cumulated through smugglers 10000 rifles
and uniforms have been made at Per-
pignan, France, and brought into Spain
at different places. Large supplies of
ammunition have been obtained from
Cuba and the Philippine islands The
rising is expected to commence at Berga
and at other points in the mountains
forming the Carlist center. Booklets con-
tanning instructions in guerilla warfare
are being distributed and men are being
recruited from the refugees and malcon-
tents about the frontier. An important
meeting will be held Oct. 10, when two
Carlist generals are expected to attend
with instructions from Don Carlos.

Judge Advocate Shows Dear SchIey'
Letter Really Said Santiago
Instead Of 'Cjenfuegos.'
Animated WrangIe Over the Ques-
ton of Reading an Editorial
Attack Upon SchIey.

der Hodgson and newspaper articles bear
ing upon the correspondence was in grog-
ress, Mr.. Rayner objected to the reading
of one Of the newspaper statements as
irrelevant. The reading had required con-
siderable time. Admiral Dewey said:
Those things could all have been printed.
You are taking up valuable time here. We
want facts facts. We don't want newspaper
articles. We have ruled these out. Cannot
these matters be printed?
Captain Lemly-Then they would be in evil
dence. Do you mean you don't want them
at all?
Admiral Dewey-We want them. Could
they not be printed like other papers?
Mr.. Rayner-We want everything that
passed between Lieutenant Hodgson and
| Commodore Schley that appertalns to the
controversy, but we would not like this rec
ord to contain editorials against Commodore
Schley. l do not think there ought to be
printed in the record an editorial against
Admiral Schley or any other admiral or in
favor of him which was never seen by ADJ
miral Schley at ALL That article was not
sent in any letter to Admiral Schley; he
says not.
Captain Lemly-It is really a part OF the
correspondence referred to. We do not con-
tend for one moment that any allegations
that may be made in that editorial against
Admiral Schley are proof Of what these alle-
cations are, but this is part OF the corre-
spondence and necessary in determining as to
what was the propriety Of Commodore.
Schley's conduct in the premises
Mr.. Rayner-Would you take a statement
| from me now that Admiral Schley says he
never received or read it?
Judge Advocate-You have made that statei
ment
Mr.. Rayner-I do not think this record
ought to be stained with these calumnles
against Admiral Schley.
The court retired for
after few minutes,
, the following report
Dewey.
The court decides that
| newspapers which form
| spondence between Admir-
tenant Commander Hodgs
be read
Mr.. Rayner-May 1t pieas -~urr, there
| is no evidence to show That this particular
editorial forms part OF the correspondence
or that 1t was ever received by Admiral
Schley.
Admiral Dewey-Under that ruling it ought
not to be read.
After the further reading OF letters and
before the entire correspondence had been
exhibited, the court adjourned until Mon-
day.

WILL TR0UNCE SAMAR
Massacre of Company c Is to BE
Avenged.

Avenged.
Washington, Oct. 5.-Advices from the
Philippines indicate that the military au-
thorities intend to take promp and vigor-
GUS measures for the suppression of the
insurrection in the island of Samar and
that attention will be directed first to the
summary punishment of the treacherous
natives who took part in the massacre Of
Company of the Ninth infantry at Ba-
langiga. There is, therefore, every pros
pect that the island Of Samar will be the
theater of active hostilities for some
time to come, as it is the purpose of GEN
eral Chaffee to teach the rebellious in
habitants lesson and force them to re-
spect the power and sovereignty of the
United States.

Washington, Oct. 5-Lieutenant Com
mander Hodgson, formerly navigator Of
Commodore Schley's flagship the Brook
lyn, continued his testimony before the
Schley court to-day, after some of the
other witnesses of yesterday had been Civ
en- an opportunity to correct their testi-
mony. When the court adjourned last night
Commander Hodgson was in the hands
of Judge Advocate Lemly, whose examina-
tion of. him partook very largely Of the na-
ture of a cross examination. This was
due to the fact that Mr.. Hodgson had been
called by both sides of the controversy
and was considered even more a Schley
witness than government witness.
Captain Lemly and Mr.. Hanna continued
the inquiry for the government at the be-
ginning Of the sitting to-day, after which
Mr.. Rayner began a series of questions
intended to present the Schley side Of the
conduct Of the Brooklyn, during not only
the battle of July 3, but of the entire
Santiago campaign. Mr.. Hanna's in
quiries were devoted partly to developing
more Of the details concerning the bonn
bardment of the Spanish ship Cristobal
Colon on May 81. The entire correspond
ence between Commander Hodgson and
Commodore Schley also was put in as evil
dence. The court began its session to-
day with the understanding that there
would be only one sitting. This agree
ment was reached yesterday and was
brought about by the fact that the mem
bers of the court and counsel find them
selves greatly fatigued by the exacting
nature of their work and, the continuous
sessions of the court.
Calling Sampson.
There is much interest in yesterday 8
episode concerning Admiral Sampson,
and there Is still doubt as to whether he
will be a witness. 1t will remain with
Admiral Schley and his counsel to say
for what day, If for any, he shall be
called. The controversy as to the ad-
miral's meaning in his "Dear Schley" OF
May 26 has in no wise been abated by the
tentative agreement as to his being sum-
mOQeQ. OOuuSGl UH DOLA olNOS IAAo AASA-
ing had before them copies Of the dis
patch, and each was trying to bring the
other to their view of the case.
The first Of the witnesses Of previous
day who were recalled to correct testi-
mony was Lieutenant Doyle, who was on
the Brooklyn during the battle off San
tiago. He made a number of changes In
phraseology.
When Lieutenant Doyle was excused
Captain Lemly again brought up the
question of the difference of construction
of the last paragraph Of the Dear
schley" letter. He produced the original
copy, reading part of the paragraph as
follows
1 therefore am Of the opinion that our best
chance Of success in capturing their ships
will be to hold the two points, Cienfuegos
and Havana, with all the force we can mus
ter If later it should develop that these
vessels are at Santiago we could then assem-
BILE off that port the ships best suited for
the purpose and completely blockade 1t. I'm
less we receive more positive information we
shall continue to hold Havana and Santiago.
Captain Lemly then said:
