6 BIG ASSESSMENT CONCERN
RunOr States That in Minnesota

Telegraphic dispatches from New York
yesterday announced that Insurance Com
missioners Giljoaann, Of Wisconsin, and
Dearth, of Minnesota, had revoked the
license of the Mutual Reserve Fund Life
association Tor their respective states
The announcement caused considerable
local agitation from the fact that the as
ISOLATION in question is the largest as

large membership in Minnesota. AS
far as the statement relates to the action
Of Commissioner Giljohann, of Wisconsin,
il has been verified by information from
Madison, but in relation to similar action
on the part of Mr. Dearth, there are in
dicat1ons that it was premature and that,
in fact, no decisive step mas yet been
taken.
Insurance Commissioners Dearth and
Gijohann did go East a few days ago
to make a joint examination of the af-
fairs of the Mutual Reserve Fund Life
association, whose main o1sce is at New
York, and presumably to take action Of
the character stated. Late yesterday
afternC on, however, Mr.. Dearth's chief
deputy received letter from him, asking
that the correspondence and papers on
file in the Office here relating to the
Mutual Reserve Fund association be sent
to him at New York. From that it is
believed that he has not yet taken final
action.

AFTER BRASS THIEVES
PERNICIOUS PRACTICE OF STEAL
ING JOURNALS HAS BEEN DE-
TECTED IN ST. PAUL
CULPRITs CLOSELY GUARDED
Private Detectives VIII Watch for
Them in the Local Railroad
Yards-MOst Danger
Gus Crime.

Railroad officials all over the country
have been confronted with a new KIND
of theft which in the past six months
has caused them endless trouble and eX-
pense. In the cabooses attached to all
freight trains there are carried, n case
of necessity, a number Of extra journal
brasses. These brasses are worthi from
81 to S. each. 1t is the plan of the
thieves to break into cabooses that nave
been sidetracked and carry the j urrals
some distance away, where a conVen eAt
horse and wagon are in waiting. The
brasses are taken to a place where they
can be mefted beyond recognition ard are
then sold 1t Is this feature that makes
the tracing of the thieves very difficult.
If they were disposed of before melting,
there would be some chance of locating
the thieves
The railroad yards in and near st. Paul
have been stamping groun5s for these
thieves for some time. In the past two
months thefts have been repeatedly COM
mitted. Railroad and private detectives
have been employed to stop the depIeda-
tions, but as yet they have met with
very little success. In some instances the
thieves have not only entered the ca
bosses, but have lacked up the cars and
taken brasses from the journals. This
has resulted disastrously, as almost in
varably the journal is melted before the
brass is missed.
Friday night some men wee oaTgnt
in the act in the State street yards of
the Chicago Great Western read. They
escaped, but were obliged to leave Their
horse and wagon behind. The rig was
rented from a local lveryman by two
men who are known to the detectives.
The men have left the city and have not
yet been located. Early yesterday morn
ing an Omaha caboose in the Western
avenue yards was entered and eleven
brasses stolen. Seven of these were plant
ed and were discovered at about 1 o'clcck
by Special Detective M G. Doty. The
latter waited until daylight for the
thieves to return for their plumber but
they failed to show up.
The railroad people are determir ed to
stop this new and dangerous form OF
theft. Special detectives have been en-
ployed, and the forces will be increased
until the loOting is STOPPED. A strange
feature of the new difficulty is that unit,
a year ago this form of theft was p ac-
tically unheard of. 1t was tn Legun
in the East, and the safety Of the deal
ing seems to have appealed to the thiev-
ing element throughout the country for
In the past year the trouble has become
widespread.

FILLS The BREACH.
COUNTY COMMISSIONERS AND WA
TER BOARDg HAVE SETTLED
THEIR TROUBLE

At the meeting of the board Of county
commissioners yesterday morning, !. &.
Michael appeared before the board on
behalf of the four janitors employed In
cleaning the temporary jail, and asked
that the county pay them their salaries
amounting to $55- each. Mr.. Michael con-
tended that the county was liable and
that the city could not he compelled to
pay the bills as the contract entered into
between the commissioners and the Joint
city hall and court house commission
stated that the city hall commission
should be under no obligation for work
done in the erection of the temporary
Jail.
County Attorney Kane also held that
the county was liable for the amount
The matter was finally laid over until an
adjourned meeting of the board to be
neld June II.
The threatened disruption of cordial re-
lations between the county commission
ers and the board of water commission ars
over the refusal of the latter to turn the
city water on ut the new jail site because
of rental delinquencies on the part of the
former tenants, has been ayerted.
the $40 in dispute was paid over to this
water board yesterday afternoon late,
and nov all is serene. Who separated
himself from the bright new crisp $40
bill that was handed over to the cashier
at the water works office is not known
except that it came in three inStallments,
q portion from Contractor Donohue ard
the remainder from two of the old tell
ants.
When Mr. Dol1ohue informed the board
yesterday at its meeting, that the water
commission refused to allow the opening
of the meters on the Jail site until the
arreara,ges were paid, the members were
Wrathy. The meeting closed with a firm
determination to carry it to the highest
tribunal in the land If necessary.
The county architect asked the board tc
locate the new jail on the new site and
the board accordingly decided to locate
the Jail twenty feet back from the side
walk and face it on Fourth and ST..
Peter streets.
The bids for the grading of the upper
Alton road were rejected and the county
auditor was instructed to readvertise for
bids in a lump sum,
On motion of Commissioner Gray it was
decided that the entire board should in

city and county hospital.
On recommendation of the committee
on roads and bridges, the contract for

MAY PROVE A DEATH BLOW
SERIOUS OBSTACLE IN wAy of
ENFORCING PAVING INDEM-
NIFTY RESOLUTION
HOW COMPANIES MAY ESCAPE
The Tearing UD of Streets for Re-
pairs Is Held to Release Com
tractors From Their Guar
antee Obligations.

what may yet prove a death blow to
the paving indemnity resolution was yes
terday given an airing, when at
the meeting of the assembly COM
mittee on streets protests were
entered by several property own
ers along Sixth street to the gran@ng
OF the Endicott heating and lig ting fir n
chise, on the ground that 1t would allow
the tearing UP of the asphalt paving
without adequate compensation to the
property owners
The point made was that all asphalt
paving IS now laid on an indemnity ba-
SIS OF from eight to ten years, with a
corresponding surety bond that the same
will be kept in repair, but if indiscrimi-
nate tearing up is allowed this indemnity
feature becomes void
While refusing to enter into a discus
sion of the matter, the corporation attor-
ney holds that the point is well taken
any tampering with the thoroughfares
necessarily relieving the companies from
their obligations
With the streets daily being torn uD
for the laying of conduits and other I'M
foreground improvements, this one thing
OF disturbing the indemnity features Of
the paving now laid in St. Paul becomes
serious question, but in the mind Of
City Engineer Claussen there is no gre at
cause for alarm.
He admits that tearing up of the streets
relieves the paving companies from flu
ture responsibility of the portion tamper-
ed with but says that this may be pro-
Vided for by requiring of those tearing
up the streets a bond sufficiently large
enough to protect the city from any 10 s
in case the company protests against
making future repairs.
In any event the point made is an i'm
portant one, and may result in measures
being taken to prevent any future trou-

cussed at yesterdays melting of the

John E. Ballaine appeared before the
Chamber and asked for the indorse-
nlent of the plans of the newspapers

ness news of the section of the country

berS of the Chamber.

YOUNG MOTHER |SnUCKY
REFUSES To MARRY HEARTLESS
FATHER OF HER ILLEGITI-
MATE CHILD
ROMANCE HAS SAD ENDING
John Lemke Betrays Lizzie Veith
and Then Deserts Her and
Their Helpless Lit
tie Baby.

An unusual incident occurred in the
police court yesterday afternoon. Lizzie
Veith, who lives at 669 West Water street,
had sworn out a complaint. charging
John Lemke with the illegitimate paren-
tage of her two months old baby girl.
When arfaigned Lemke pleaded guilty
and offered to marry the girl TO the
surprise of tho court, Miss Veith refused
to settle in this manner, stating that
she did not want to marry Iemke, as
he was SO indolent and dissolute that
she knew that he could not support her.
She was perfectly willing and, in fact,
preferred to support herself, but she de-
sired that Lemke be obliged to contrib
ute to the support of the child. TIE oa5e
was continued until today.
Miss Veiths sad predicament uncovers
a pathetic story She met Lemke about a
year ago in CasseltOn, N. D., where both
were employed in a restaurant. They
became engaged, but Lemke kept post
poning the wedding, and finally persue dad
her to come with him to ST. Paul to live.
She drew 500 from the bank an amount
which it had taken her a long time to
save, and together they came to the city
and took rooms here. In less than a
month Lemke sQuandered the 800 that
she had brought with her, and they were
left destitute. In the meantime the wed
ding was being constantly put off by
Lemke Lemke secured work and the
couple took rooms at G69 West Water
street, which they supplied with furni-
ture for which they were only able to
pay in part.
At Easter time Lemke deserted tho
girl who had trusted him so blindly and
left her when she was in delicate con-
dition The payments on the furniture
could no longer be met, and the house
from which it was purchased demanded
it's return. Lemke returned Saturday
night, and in a drunken condition went
to their rooms and threatened to kill
her and the child. Sunday night he was
arrested for being drunk, and after his
fine was paid in court yesterday, Miss
Veith appealed to the county attorney
for protection, and swore out the COM
plant of illegitimate parentage, on which
he is now held.
