GOOD
REFERS TO ASSASSINATION
Discussing Wall Street Betting on
Presidential Election, a Writer
uncOnsciOusIy FOreshadOws At
tempt on Presidents Life.

For who could guarantee that some
dismal day in September they might
not see in huge type on the front page
of the newspapers: The President AS
sassinated., -
The above words are to be found in
MunSey'S magazine of last April They
are part of the text of an article written
by Edwin Lefevre on Boom Days in
Wall Street And yet Mr. Lefevre did
not intend to prophesy in his article the
attempted assassination of President Nc
Kinley. In fact. the article itself is
simply a description Of the stock market
at its time of most intense activity and
an explanation of how one of the big
booms on Wall street was started The
few lines quoted were merely intended
to point suppositious case taken by the
author. Yet they stand out now like an
omnibus and fulfilled prophesy
Speaking of the heavy odds in bets
taken by men just previous to the last
presidential election the article says:
''The greatest aggregation of Individual
wealth that ever united for a common
purpose practically wagered a billion of
dollars on Mr.. McKinley's reelection.
Plans involving fully that sum We're at
stake The men concerned were extra
ordinarily intelligent They were so sure
that Mr.. Mckinley would win that they
quietly went on about their business and
made plans which would in all proba-
bility have gone to smash had Mr. Bryan
been elected. But they took enormous
chances, none the less And then fol-
lows the startling prognostication
There was no special reason why MIR.
Lefevre should have selected the dismal
day in September for detail -in-his
suppositious case. But so it stands, and
"a dismal day in September saw the
president struck down by the bullet Of
an assassin. Were the few lines in that
forgotten article prophetic? If one is SUI
perstitious he might call them So Even
if he prides himself on being modern he
must admit that the circumstance is at
least a curious coincidence

duous task of affixing his name to 200
or more county warrants authorized by
the county board of commissioners. but
his work has come to naught
After handing out a few of the war
/ rants carrying Mr. Warmers signature
County Treasurer Metzdorf became i'm
bued with an idta and Immediately
Sought County Attorney Kane, with the
result that the warrants were recalled
ana orders given to the clerical force to
not make payment on any more Mr.
Kane decided that Mr. Warner was
usurping his authority in signing the
warrants. In the following opinion Civ
en- to Mr.. Metzdorf, the county attorney
briefly cited his reasons:
close consideration of all the laws
bearing upon this question leads me to
believe that the duties bearing upon the
mayor as county commissioner and as
chairman of the county board are Sc
parate and distinct from the duties de-
VoiVlng upon him as mayor of the CITY
OF 81 Paul, and were SO intended to be
by the law. The provisions of the spe-
cial law of 1891 and the provisions of our
present charter specifying the conditions
ana the circumstances under which the
PleSluenl OF the assembly should eXer-
else the powers and discharge the duties
OF acting mayor of the city of st. Paul.
contemplated the discharge of those du-
ties and the exercise OF those powers
only that properly devoIved upon, and
are exercised by the mayor as mayor
and not those duties and powers devolv-
ing upon and exercised by him as coun-
ty commissioner or as chairman of the
county board
Il am therefore of the opinion that the
president of the assembly of the city of
st. Paul has no legal authority to draw
warrants upon the county treasurer in
payment of claims against the county of
Ramsey while assuming to act as chair
man OF the board of county commission
erS''
While this is the first time a president
OF the assembly has assumed the pre-
negatives of the mayor of st. Paul vet
the acting mayor who heretofore has
peen the president of the council, has
signed warrants on repeated occasions.
and this is the first time the legality of
the act has been questioned
Mayor Smith is now out of the CITY.
but the warrants will be held until his
return in order that they may be re-
signed

PIONEER RETRACTs REFLECTIONS
ABOUT POLICE COMMISSION
Err LAWYER
WHO INcP1RED THE ARTICLE
Mr.. LAWYER Is Informed That J-dge
r.. G. Hine Voluntarily Supplied
Misleading Information 1t
Was Based On.

D. w Lawler has expressed himself as
completely satisfied with the retraction
made by the Pioneer Press yesterday Of
renectlons cast upon him az a membsr
OF the police commission in an editorial
printed last Sunday morning The arti-
Gle of which he complained also reflected
upon the police department. in general
by intimating that it had not exerted it's
best efforts to secure the extradition to
Chicago of Edward McNichols, wanted
on charges of jury bribing and of escab-
ing from Jail. and who is being defended
by Mr. Lawler
IN speaking of the case Mr. LAWYER
expressed himself as follows last night:
so FAR as ] am concerned the mat
ter is concluded. On reading the Pioneer
Press editorial this morning / imme--
diately wrote Mr.. Wheelock a letter say
ing that the retraetion was full and fair
and that the editorial article containing
1t was of exactly the character that
might be expected of anyone who knew
him personally. I took occasion, how
ever, to call the attention of the Pfo-
neer Press people to the fact that the
editorial as published Sunday last made
by inference charge that the board of
ponce or the chief of police had in some
way failed in performing their full duty
and that there was no foundation what
ever Tor the charge. L stated to the
Pioneer Press people that simple justice
demanded that the public be given the
name of the person who gave the false
information on which the editorial was
based 1 was advised that the inform-
ant OF the Pioneer Press was Judge r. c.
Hlne, of the municipal court; and that
OF his own yolition he went to the Pho
neer Press office last Saturday afternoon
and inspired the editorial of Sunday.

false SO far as it makes any charge

RAISES ON FURNITURE
BOARD OF EQUALIZATION DOES
RUSHING BUSINESS YESTERDAY.


Household and Office furniture occupied
the attention of the state board of equal
ization all day yesterday, to the end that
in every one of the counties of the state,
except twenty-one the rates of assess
ment as shown by the schedules of the
county boards of equalization, have been
raised, In Benton, Cottonwood, Goodhue,
Waseca, Roseau, Pope, Red Lake and
Otter Tail counties the proportion of in
crease was &c % per cent; in Murray,
Meeker and MARSHALL counties 80 per cent
and in Carver county 40 per cent
The aggregate amount of the schedules
as returned by the county boards was
but S1O679,61S. which was $43S, 041 less
than the total assessed valuation as fix
ed by the state board last year and it
was expected that that body would ele-
Vate those figures some. but it was some
thing of a surprise when they evinced
the fact that they were not content with
simple addition and began to multiply
by three and two.
In Hennepin county a raise of 10 per
cent was made, but in Ramsey none.

ERROR IN PAVING ORDER
THAT FOR SELBY AVENUE MAY BE
DELAYED UNTIL SPRING.

Unless some way out of the difficulty
can be found, new final order for the
paving of Sel5y avenue will nave to be
drafted, with=the additional annoyance CT
having the proposed call for bids hung
up until next spring.
When the order passed by the council
few weeks ago was prepared. it st1pu-
lated that the street car company should
pave between and beyond its tracks,
strip nineteen feet wide Investigation
since brings to ligot the fact that the
company is only required to pave for a
distance of sixteen feet on that particular
street.
While the error is to all appearances
insignificant, yet it might be made the
basis of future, litigation, and rather
than change it in the present order a
new order will be drawn ana presented
to the COUNCIL tor ratification
In order to test the sincerity of the
asphalt combine as to its intention Of
giving a lower rate than prevailed in the
the case of Marshall avenue the board
of public works contemplated calling for
bids for both South Waoasha and Selby
avenue on the same date, but it NOW
looks as if the scheme would have to be
abandoned

MRS. GOTHAM WINS CASE
MAY KEEP SUMMIT AVENUE HOME
FOR YEAR.

Judge Otis handed down memoran-
DUN in the Gotzian-Guthrie~ case yester-
day, dissolving the temporary Injunction
and practically stating that Mrs. Caro-
Summit avenue residence for the term OF
one year from the expiration of her
lease, April 80.
Judge Otis stated that the injunction
was granted under a misapprehension
and that equitable relief, such as is ask
ed for in the complaint, is unnecessary
since under the terms of the old lease
an extension was due her on proper no
tice. The action will now go back to the
municipal court where it originated, but
it is believed that the action of Judge
Otis will be binding at that. Mrs. Cot
zian has won her case.
