DY TALKS TOO FREELY.

Secretary James Healy, of the board of
education, is quite indignant at the un-
warranted statement of Comptroller Nc
Cardy that statements of the boards
finances, and everything pertaining to
them, is not supplied him as required by
law and the charter.
Every month"; said Mr.. Healy yester-
day, 81 take to Mr.. McCardy's office per-
sona1ly statement This is supplement-
ed at the approach of the close of the
year by our annual statement which Mr..
McCardy, if he looks carefully, will find
for years back. incorporated in the pub
lished city reports
''Mr. McCardy has been either mis-
quoted, or else he has told deliberate
falsehood. He knows better If Mr.. Nc
-Cardy will live up to the terms of the
charter, instead of trying to compel 9TH
ers to do So he viii find that he will get
along better
Mr.. Healy was at the city hall yester-

report, copy of which was furnished

.CONROY OWES CITY $685.
EXAMINER POPE MAKES PUBLIC
RESULT OF INVESTIGATION
He Intimates That Some Additional
Surprises Might Result From
Further Investigation
of Records.

Thomas E. Conroy. late clerk of the
municipal court, is indebted to the city
of st. Paul in the sum Of $685.. This
amount represents fines collected for vio-
lations of the state dairy and food laws,
and according to State Bank Examiner
Pope, is being wrongfulIy withheld from
the state. Briefly, Mr.. Conroy is short
that much in his accounts as clerk.
A report to this effect was filed yester-
day with Mayor Smith, and will be by
him transferred to the council, which will
act in the premises. The investigation
was made by Assistant Examiner Eek
man, who, in his report, significantly re-
marks that if the accounts pertaining to
collections Of fines for violations of the
state game and fish laws were invests
gated more surprises might be unearthed.
AS showing how Mr.. Conrey did busi-
ness, Mr.. Ecknan cites an instance IN
which party named Joseph Stacy was
fined $50 for violation of the pure food
laws in August, 1900 Mr.. Stacy paid the
fine by giving Conroy check on Bannon
& Co. 1t was made out to Conroy. and,
according to the Cancelled check, now in
the possession of Mr.. Bannon, was cashed
at the bank by Conroy.
A copy of the report has also been filed
with Gov. Van SAINT, who, it is expected,
will order a complete examination Of the
books pertaining to state violations.

BUILDERS GOOD YEAR
ST. PAUL EXCHANGE HOLDS IT'S
FIRST ANNUAL MEET
REPORTS VERY ENCOURAGING
Gratifying Increase in Membership
Proposition to Establish Labor
Bureau Likely to BE
Acted on Soon.
REPORTS VERY ENCOURAGING

The first annual meeting of the st.
Paul Builders Exchange was held yes
terday, and officers were elected for the
ensuing year. The following were
chosen: ]. w. L. Corning, president; ].
M. Carlson, first vice president; ]. D.
uonahue, second vice president; William
Rhodes, treasurer, and A. ". Williams,
secretary. Robert Sigel was elected SER
geant- alarms.
The annual reports of the secretary and
treasurer were read, and both showed
the affairs of the exchange to be In ex-
cellent condition. There is large sur
plus In the treasury, and eighty new
members have joined since the organiza-
ton Of the exchange, a year ago. The
total membership is at present 127, and 1t
is growing every day.
The exchange was formed for the mu-
tual benefit of contractors builders
hardware men, brickmakers and dealers,
and, In fact all business men who are
interested in the building trade at all.
The exchange Is proving quite success
full, acc emphasizing all that it was organ
lied for, and the fact that the member
ship Is constantly growing bespeaks the
interest that building people are taking
in it.
The building of the past year was in
formally discussed at the meeting, and
great satisfaction displayed in the large
increase in business. The year has been
banner one, and there will have been
issued by Jan. l building permits to the
amount of $5,OO0,oO0.
While, by reason of this increase in
building, help has been unusually scarce,
the local men have not experienced
much difficulty in securing workmen.
They have had to import them from out
side the city, but the lack of help has
not been exactly detrimental to building
interests. The work Of securing building
material has been graver problem for
the builders, and it is for this purpose,
In part, that the exchange was organ-
lied.
There has been no move as yet In re-
gard to establishing labor bureau In
connection with the exchange, and 1t Is
not anticipated that anything fn this
line will be done for some time. How
ever, the outlook for building activity
for the coming year is good, and it may
ne necessary to establish bureau of
this kind.

MORE ROOM NEEDED
AMERICAN HOIST AND DERRICK
COMPANY PLANS IMPORTANT
EXTENSIONS
APPLICATION FOR A LEASE
Proposition Ia to Build an Extern
sion ON Pier to Be
Placed in the
River.

The American Hoist and Derrick COM
pany has made application to the city
council for a new lease which will in
crease it's space on the West side of the
river. The business of the company has
increased to an extent rendering it i'm
perative to secure more room. The lease
asked for will extend it's property toward
the river about 200 feet, or to the first
pier Of the Robert street bridge. This
space will be occupied by an extension of
the shops.
If the council grants the application
the company will begin, about Feb. 1, to
extend the shops and make other i'm
provements which will cost $4,000. They
will consist of an extension of $50 feet on
the north end of the erecting shop and 100
feet extension to the foundry This will
bring the erecting shop out over the bank
of the river. 1t is intended to fill in the
river for a few feet, but the north end of
the SHOP will be upon pier built in the
stream.
The American Hoist and Derrick COM
pany has one of the largest establish
ments of it's kind in the country. It was
organized in 1882. with shops at Eighth
and Robert streets. In 1886 it moved TO its
present location on the West side. Since
that time 1t has gradually increased
it's facilities until it is now necessary to
nave sui more space. over 80 men are
employed and the pay roll amounts to
several thousand dollars a month. Since
Dec. l, 1890, 1t has handled 9,27 tons of

This company has the record of having
built the largest locomotive crane ever
built 1t was made for use near Phila-

tons. 1t has also built two other locomo-
tive cranes of large size. One Of these is
being used at Charleston, 8. c., and the
other at Mare Island, in the San Fran
cisco harbor.
The management of the company says
il it cannot get permission to enlarge its
shop room, by building out into the river,
it will be necessary to seek another loca-
ton. 1t is not wholly improbable that
opposition to the project may be encoun-
tered from the government engineers in
charge of the river

Herried Is Interested.

:, The letter from Gov. G. N. Herried, Of
South Dakota, is in part as follows:
AS one of said railroads has no mile
age in this state whatever, and the other
two of said railways have very limited
mileage, and even if consolidated as sug-
gested would be in competition with the
great railways that are traversing this
state and doing the transportation busi-
ness of our people, our interest is large
ly speculative and problematical and not
as direct and immediate as that of Min
nesota and the other states through
which these railways run and whose bus
mess is practically monopolized by the
said transportation companies.
The problem presented is one of stu
pendous Importance. The sentiment of
the people is with you in your efforts to
legally and clearly establish the relations
between a corporation like the one afore-
said, and the state. With Congress IN
session, you should and no doubt will, re-
ceive the earnest cooperation of the rep
resentatives of the people. I shall give
this matter the most careful investiga-
ton and consideration and shall consider
it a favor to be advised of the results of
your investigation. Whatever can do
towards the correct solution of the prob
lens aforesaid, I assure you shall be
done most earnestly and cheerfully.

Damage Suit.
Judge Kelly yesterday dismissed the
case of James f. Dorgan, a minor,
against the city of st. Paul upon the mo-
ton of defendant. Young Dorgan was
injured in his home at 221 South Wa
basha street, .onf May 81 of this year by
a boulder that crashed through the roof
and fell upon him, fnjuring him so that
he is deprived of the use of one leg and
arm The city was engaged, through com
tractors, in filling up ground on Prospect
Terrace, and while dumping dirt and
stones there ono of the large stones
rolled down the bluff.
The court held. that the contractor per-
forming the work is the party who is
liable, and a suit will probably be
brought against him. Young Dorgan,
through his guardian ad litem, John Dor
gan, asked for $4,000.
