OPERATOR ARRESTED IN AaILWAU-
KEE CLAIMS TO RESIDE
IN ST. PAUL
RELATIVES DENY HIS STORY
Marvin Barringer Conducted Real
Estate business Here Years Ago
His Reckless Career
Wife in ST. Paul.

Reports have reached ST. Paul of the
arrest by the Milwaukee police of Mar
vim Barringer, charged with forgery. The
papers of Milwaukee maintain that Bar
ringer is a citizen of this city. He is said
to have been implicated in series of
acts similar to the one for which he is
now in Jail. During his escapades he has
been mixed up in the society of Milwau-
kee, 1t is said, and his career, according
to the Milwaukee papers, has been quite
eventful along these. lines,
Barringer represented to the police of
the Wisconsin city that he was resident
of St Paul, and he further informed
them that he had wealthy relative here
from whom he had, upon former oeca-
sions like the present one gotten CON
siderable financial aid. If allowed the
opportunity of communicating with this
relative, he told the police that he would
be sure to obtain money sufficient to free
him from the meshes of law and satisfy
all the demands against him. The author
tiles, however, refused to grant him this
opportunity, and he was Compelled to
abide the slow process of law. He Is
therefore confined in the Milwaukee pris-
on.
Upon investigation last night by a re-
porter for the Gil o b e, it was learned
that Barringer's statements to the police
were false in the main. He is not cit
izen of St Paul, and has not been for ten
or twelve years. He was once a resident
of this city, having been engaged in the
real estate business but has not been
here for s number of years The wealthy
relative he referred to is misrepresented,
both as to being possessed of considerable
money and having helped Barringer. The
relative denies ever having given him
any assistance whatever since his trout
bic began. 1t appears that Barringer at
tempted this method Of making matters
easier with the police at Milwaukee.
Barringer is married man, about
thirty-two years Of age. His wife is in
st. Paul at the present time, but the ru-
mors from Milwaukee, to the effect that
she is now endeavoring to procure a di-
vorce, are emphaticaIly denied by his rel
atives here. The reporter for the G II e
was assured that the statements are alb
solutely false.
From the Milwaukee reports It appears
that Barringer has been seriously in
volved in similar trouble before, once in
st. Louis where he is said to have served
a term in Jail. His latest operations at
Milwaukee have netted him, it is said,
not over $100.

County Commissioners object
Minneapolis Appointees.


The board of county commissioners
held short meeting yeste1tasy morning.
at which q committee consisting of w.
Z. Fortner, Charles Erh, Q. Capistrant
and James Murphy were present from
the Steam Engineers union, to protest
against the action of the board of control
III appointing a Minneapolis man as en-
gineer at the city and county hospital.
Mayor Smith was of the opinion that the
board had no jurisdiction in hospital af-
fairs other than to pay its bills Com
missioner Lott was very outspoken in re-
gard to the board of control going to
Minneapolis to hire help, and did not like
the idea of them shutting out St. Paul
men.
The commissioners finally decided to
send a committee to the board of control
to suggest to the board of control the
advisability of employing ST. Paul help
for st. Paul places.
The old board appropriated $1,000 for
the raising of the surface of White Bear
lake, and resolution by Commissioner
Lott was passed, authorizing the county
surveyor to designate the best method
OF feeding the lake by running some of
the smaller streams into it.
The proposition CT the st. Paul Cas-
light company to furnish power for the
new motor in the. temporary Jail was
given to committee to investigate.
