MAYER WILL BE HELD
MAN FROM JAPAN HAS A PRELIM-
MARY HEAR
AWAIT ACTION UNDER TREATY
The Accused Man Pleads Not Guilty,
and His Case VIII Come
Up for Hearing
Dec. 81.

Francis S. Mayer, late of Yokohama,
Japan, and accused of having committed
a forgery just before leaving there for
the United States, was taken before
United States Commissioner Howard ..
Abbott, at Minneapolis, yesterday morn
ing. He pleaded not guilty to the charge
preferred against him, but as detailed IN
formation, relative to the crime alleged,
had not yet reached the authorities here.
further proceedings were continued until
Dec. q. In the meantime Mayer Will be
held in the Ramsey county jail, and it IS
presumed that his Japanese Vile, Two
children and Japanese servant. will re-
main at the Merchants hotel to await
the result of the efforts to secure his ex-
tradition.
Mayer, it is understood, is accused OF
having forged a debenture bond OF the
Yokohoma Steam Laundry company, of
which he was managing director; and 1t
is said that he left Japan two days after
the date upon which the forgery is alleg-
ed to have been committed
The application, on the part of the
Japanese government, for Mayors ex-
tradition, is made under article 4, of the
last treaty between the United States and
Japan, which provides for extradition OF
persons accused of crime, but does not
make the surrender of such persons
mandatory. ms is the nrSt une tHis
article OF the treaty has been called into
question by either government, and it may
be contested at some length. 1t is under
stood that under the terms of the treaty,
and the law governing the case, Mayer
may be held in provisional arrest-on in
formation and belief-not longer than
sixty days and then, if the prosecution is
not fully prepared with specific aliega-
tons and proofs, he must be released.
Mayer has retained Attorneys Lawler
and Arnold to conduct his case.

UP TO The COUNCIL
EXAMINER PoPEs REpoRTsIs PRE-
,SENFIaD TO THAT
IL assB0DY
COMMITTEE ITO INVESTIGATE
Mr.. Claussen Demands Full Inquiry
Into Questions Raised by the Re-
pOrts and Says Department
Will Be INDICATED.

Bank Examiner Pope's report on the
Irregularities and discrepancies unearth-
ed, as result of his investigation of the
financial end of the city engineering de-
partment, is now in the hands of the
common council. The document, to-
gether with a brief acknowledgement of
Its receipt from Mr.. Pope. was turned
over to the body by Mayor Smith last
night.
At the request of City Engineer Claus
sen, who in a communication demanded
1uIi investigation of the charges made,
President Schiffman was empowered to
appoint a committee of six, which he did
by naming Aid. Murphy, Bantz and
.Knauft and Assemblymen Haas, Dix and
Wheeler. This committee has been CLOTH
ed with full official power to summon
witnesses. compel the presence of any
of those involved, if required, and do all
else in their power necessary to make
the investiga ton complete. The COM
!, 1nittea Will have the assistance of the
legal department, Corporation Attorney
Markham being, named as one of the
committee
Pending the. Investigation, City En-
5gineer sClaussen says. he does not care
to go into a discussion of the repoSt at
length. He says he is positive that he
will be indicated as far as any re1ec-
ton on his official character is concerned.
He now thinks that Andrew Swanson, a
former foreman, was dishonest, but not
to the extent that Mr.. Pope's report
makes out. He thinks it would have
been almost impossible for him to get
away with $1,000 without detection by
some one.

SOLDIERS CHRISTMAS
CANTEEN MISSED At THIS TIME OF
THE YEAR.

The first Christmas since the abolition
of the army eanteen will not be such a
merry one for Uncle Sans fighting men
as those of previous years. OF course.
the soldiers will have fine diners on that
day but unfortunately the government
does not issue any extra rationS for
the soldier because of the holiday sea-
son, and the men have to depend upon
the company fund for money with which
to purchase their delicacieS, such as
turkeys. and the usual side dishes.
When the canteen was in operation 1t
did not have $500 or $500 to it's credit as
the profits from the sale of beer and
other articles at the regular canteen.
This money went to the company fund,
and when such holidays as Christmas
and New Years came around there was
ample money with which to purchase the
good things that go to make the days
enjoyable ones among all classes.
There are company funds now, but the
revenue to them has decreased to u
great extent; in fact, the canteen was
the chief source of revenue to the fund,
and now that revenue goes into the
pocket of the saleonkeeper, and the men
have no way of saving. except what they
allowance 1t was no effort to save mon
ey under the canteen system, for to
SPEND it meant to save it, but now any
money turned into the fund will have
to be actually, saved
However the regulars are pretty well
taken care of, and they will no doubt
enjoy their holidays even if there is
not SO much money to spend for good
things to eat.

FAT BANK ACCOUNT
STATE AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY IS
$4,000 TO THE
GOOD
ANNUAL REPORT PRESENTED
Last Fair Broke All Records-Rec-
concentrations as to Needed Inn
eceipts and
Disbursements.

Secretary Randall, of the State Agri-
cultural association yesterday filed the So
cietys annual report with the governor.
The most important announcement con-
tanned in the report is the statement thas
at the present time there is a balance
in the treasury Of $37,604.32, which is
record breaker. One year ago the bal
ance on hand was less than $4,000 The
report gives "a concise account; of the
last state fair, and says, among other
things, that the wisdom of keeping the
fair open at night was fully demonstrat-
ed The board states its intention OF
maintaining an emergency fund of $4,000,
for the payment OF premiums when the
inevitable rainy day shall come" as it IS
pointed out that the splendid weather
that attended the last fair, cannot always
be expected.
The report calls attention to additional
buildings which are imperatively required,
among them being new sheep and swine
barns, a live stock amphitheater of ample
dimensions, the rebuilding or charging
of the dairy, woman's and poultry build
ings, and the entire rernodeling Of the
main building which must be supplied
with power. The secretary says that
there should be a partial Encouragement
of the grounds, to permit grouping or
the amusement concessions together in
one part of the grounds
In proof of the statement that the fair
is a growing institution the following
table of ticket sales for the last eight
years is appended:
1894, $24,712s2; 1895, ss5,777.67; 1895, sn,-

PRINTING COMMISSION
ONE IN EACH COUNTY TO BE REC
OMMENDED IN TAX REPORT.

One Of the changes which will be rec
commended in the report of the state
tax commission will be of especial in.
tereSt to the newspaper men of the state
II. G. Hays, chairman of the commit
tee appointed by the State Editorial as
sociation to confer with the commission,
says that the commission received with
favor the recommendation OF his COM
mittee for the appointment in each cour-
ty of printing commission to consist OF
the auditor, clerk OF courts and county
attorney.
Inasmuch as the publication of delin-
quent tax lists Is the most frequent cause
of rate wars between country publishers,
the committee recommended that the
bond to be given by the publisher should
be increased to $1,000 in order to bar out
irresponsible parties.
Still another Recommendation was that
the price per description be advanced from
II cents to 20.
The same committee recommended that
certain restrictions be added to those az
ready recognized as governing legal OF
official paper.
1t is proposed to retain the statute
which requires that the publication be
in the English language, and the edI-
terial association committee also request
ed that the required size Of the paper be
increased. that its circulation be 400, in
portant Of all, that each publication be
equipped completely for it's own produc-
ton

bona fde circulation. some of them with
no plant for publication. compete with
