WANT STREET IMPROVED
WEST SIDE IMPROVEMENT ASSOCI-
ALTON INTERESTED
Committee VIII Wait on Mayor
Smith and City Engineer To-
day to Ask for Imme-
diate Action.

A committee representing the West
Side Improvement association, will cali
upon Mayor Smith and City Engineer
Claussen today for the purpose of trying
to induce them to take steps to improve
Concord street from it's junction with
South Robert to the city limits At pres
ent the condition of this tnoroughfare is
deplorable. of which fact the mayor and
the county commissioners are fully cog
infant, as they drove over it short
time ago on a trip of inspection.
South st. Paul has spent about $1,000
this year in improving it's end of the
road, and that portion is in perfect con-
dition. Farmers in botn Washington and
Dakota counties are now frequently
obliged to go as far as Hastings to
market their produce, solely on account
of the terrible state Of the road leading
into the city. With the repairing of the
city's portion of Concord street an i'm
mediate increase in the volume of
farmers trade would follow.
The early placing of the road in a
passable shape is made the more neces-
sary by reason of the fact that the toll
bridge at Inver Grove will probably be
put on a. free basis at an early date.
The bridge is owned by the Burlington,
Cedar Rapids & Northern road, as part
of the Belt line purchased last spring,
and that company is perfectly willing
to have the tolls abolished providing
Washington and Dakota counties agree
to keep the planking in repair So far
the Dakota county officials nave not re-
garded this scheme with favor, but
Mayor Lyle, Of South st. Paul, says am
agreement will probably be reached
shortly.
The city has not at present a fund
upon which to draw for the repairing OF
nrd ctr -. lalo
urge that an appropriation be placed on
the budget to cover the expense above
what an equitable assessment on the
property affected would realize.

TALK Of EXPANSION
WEST SIDE IMPROVEMENT AsSO-
CITATION PLANS ANNEXATIONS
TO RAMSEY COUNTY
MOVEMENT IS EXTENDING
West ST. Paul, Mendoza Village and
Township, South st. Paul and
Inver Grove Included
in Project.

The West Side Improvement associa-
ton will not rest satisfied until 1t has
secured the annexation of West ST. Paul,
Mendoza, Inver Grove and ,erlSh St. Psul
to Ramsey county. Preliml- arg steps
toward this end have been takr2. and a
committee consisting of Afess"s r.
Sachse, E. H. Wood and H. ]. Pc IS
will inquire into the legal procedure h-c-
essary without delay. The proposed an
neXatiCn will take in considerable por-
ton of Washington and Dakota counties,
and if only the consent of those counties
can be secured requisite legislation will
be submitted at the forthcoming extra
session of the legislature. 1t is argued
by the supporters of the project that
the interests of the above named places
are SO closely Identified that a closer
union is highly desirable, and already
some of the county officials in Washing
ton and Dakota counties have been
brought to see that the scheme is a good
one.
A number of the farmers in the dis
trict affected will object. That is expect
ed, for it cannot be denied that annexa-
ton will mean higher tax rates. To offset
this it is claimed that the property of
those who will suffer from higher assess
mentS. will be greatly advanced in value
and that the resulting advantage of bet
will render the project well worth the
most serious considera ton. That the pro-
posed annexation would greatly assist
in the commercial development of South
st. Paul, Mendoza and Inver Grove is
not denied. and only the obstacle of in
creased taxation remains to be over
come.
Mayor Lyle, of South st. Paul, is per-
sonally in favor of the scheme, although
L.. I'll
lore the people in his district-can be made
to appreciate the advantages which Will
follow sufficiently to induce them to sup
port annexation.
The same arguments which are now
being used against the further expansion
of the county were employed when Ram
sey county took in what is now the
Sixth ward but it was found that the re-
sulting advantages far more than COM
pensated for any increase i'll assessments
that followed. That is why the West
Side Improvement association is advo-
eating the project so energetically.
incidentally the question of better roads
into ST Paul is involved, and also the
increased business from the farmers of
Dakota and Washington counties, who
will be brought within the limits of Ram
Sey If the proposed annexation is sue
cessfully carried into effect
The population of South ST. Paul is
1922; that of West ST. Paul, 1880; Men
dota township, Sl3; Mendoza village, 2S2,
and Ipver Grove 1,4O2. Since it was an
ne7Ied to Ramsey county the population
of the Sixth ward has increased enor-
mously, being 17,2S7 by the census taken
this year.
The committee named above will con-
fer with the officials of the other two
counties and report progress at the next
meeting of the association.

NEW DIVORCE CANON
COMING EPISCOPAL CONVENTION
WILL PASS STRICT LEGIs-
LARI0N
VITAL CHANGE IS ASSURED
Rev. Andrews, of st. Paul, Says
Church Sentiment Is Strongly
Against Divorce and
RemarriaGe.

Episcopalians in St. Paul and all over
the United States are looking forward
with great interest to the general con-
Vention OF the church, which is to be
held in San Francisco on Oct. 2 1t Will
be one of the most important meetings
of the legislative bodies of the church
held in recent years. and before it will
come questions of far4reachlng influence
The convention will be in session for
three weeks at least, and possibly long
er, and in that time the canons of the
church will be revised in very telling di-
rections
The most important subject which the
convention will consider will be the re-
vision Of the canon of marriage and di-
Vorce. The discussion promises to be one
of the most remarkable in the annals Of
the church, as well as one of the most
important in its results. For some time
the Episcopal church has taken advanced
ground on the question of divorce, and
sentiment in favor ok passing law
absolutely forbidding an Episcopal clergy
man marrying divorced persons has been
assuming larger proportions, until 1t is
believed that the time has come to eff
fectually embody this sentiment in the
law of the church Episcopal clergymen
throughout the world have been agitating
this question for the last few years, and
the outside world has watched the prog
ress of the discussion with great interest.
WhateNe r action the convention takes
will be influential and far-reaching.
Rev. G. d. Andrews, OF Christ church,
in speaking of the coming convention,
last night, said 81 believe the sentiment
of the Episcopal church throughout the
country TO be overwhelmingly in favor
OF making it impossible for an Episcopal
ian clergyman to officiate in a marriage
service where either party has been d.
vorced. I believe the convention will
make this regulation very strict and IN
conditional. Other questions of great I'M
portance 20 the church will come up, but
none as important to- the general public
as this Observation-Disclosures. 1t will be
one of the largest cehventions ever held
1t win be attended By all the bishops of
the church. From 10000 to 1900 clergy
men and vestrymen are expected to be
present.
The delegate from St Paul is Rev C.
E. Haupt archdeacodr3of the diocese. The
delegate from Minneapolis is Rev T. w
MacLean, Of st. Marks church. A large
number of other clergymen, as well as
many laymen, will also attend this great
gathering of the fehurch.

mind some. and he went on a ''spree. -
lie says he got into a game of cards

after losing s. became involved in fight
With one of the men, during which he re-
ceived black eye He started for his
home across the river, and on the way
thought over his many troubles and the
reception he would get at home. When
he arrived at the Robert street bridge he
had partly made up his mind to jump
but on looking down, saw the drawbridge
directly beneath MIN. It-locked too dan
gerous, he claimed. and so he went to
the other side Of the bridge and again
looked down Tie channel was clear at
this point, and he threw off his coat, vest
and hat and jumped over the railing be-
fore any of the pedestrians on the bridge
could stop him. On reaching the water
he claims, his mind came back to him.
and he begun swimming down stream
BY this time it had become generally
known that man had jumped into the
river, and by the time he reached the pill
ing at the foot of Sibley street Officer
Forester had arrived. The officer said
that when he helped Juckel out he did
not appear to be in the least exhausted
after his long swim, and looked fresh
although he was still drunk

and has lived in St Paul for nine years
