Light ON GI[RTSEN CASE
CHRISTIANIA PAPERS Make DAM
AGING STATEMENTS AGAINST
NORWEGIAN MINISTER
HIS CHURCH INVESTIGATING
Claimed That He Wrote the I'm.
moral Letter Which Was Cause
of TrOubIe-ExpeFts Iden-
tffy Handwriting.

The committee appointed by the Trim
1ty Norwegian Lutheran church for the
purpose of Investigating the scandalous
charges preferred against the pastor,
Rev. M. .Falk Gjertsen, held its first
meeting last evening at the church. The
meeting was executive, and over two
hours We're spent in considering the case
Mr.. Gjertsen appeared before the com
mittee, and after having made a state
,ment retired, and was not present at
the further deliberations Of the COM
mittee.
Mr.. Gjertsen returned to Minneapolis
Saturday from his. trip to Christianla,
Norway, where he went the first of the
year with the purpose Of meeting the
charges and proving that the immoral
letter in question was not written by
himself On the other hand he preferred
charges against two Christianla minis
tiers, who have become involved in the
case, and claims that they know who
penned the letter
The press OF Christiana, however, does
not uphold Mr.. Gjertsen in his contention,
and III their publication of statements
purported to be facts, light unfavor-
able to Mr.. GjertSen is thrown on the
case. The following is free translation
from what was reproduced in Dagling
I1dende, the local Norwegian daily, from
Christiania paper:
Inc case Oh faIk GjertSen Is now at
an end as far as the police Is concerned.
1t will be remembered that the Norweg-
ian-American minister, Falk Gjertsen
came here to institute suit against the
Revs. Laur, Larsen and Carsten Han
steen, because they had accused Mr.,
GjertSen OF having written an immoral
letter to missionary's wife, residing
here. This letter has been examiner
by State Chemist Schmelck and Bank
Chief Adeler, experts in hand writing,
and they declare that the letter must
be accepted as having been written by
Gjertsen. The police consequently find
no cause for action against Sevs. Han
steen and Larsen. but on the other hand
notifies the authorities to commence
action against Falk Gjertsen, for having
violated the statute relating to false ard
malicious accusations.

Temporary Jail VentiIatOr.

The board of county commissioners, at
its meeting yesterday afternoon, decided
to place the motor used for running the
ventilator in the temporary Jail under
contract, by which the county is to pay
$50 per month. Mr. Lathrop, of the ST.
Paul Gas Light company. was present
and stated to the board that when the
contract for heating and lighting the
jail was signed that part now used by
the temporary jail was not in use and
that he did not think it was proper that
the commissioners should want the ex-
ira light and heat furnished under that
contract. The matter was referred to
the committee on buildings and county

NO DRAINAGE THIS YEAR.
State Board Not Likely to Attempt
Anything at Present.

According to the statements made by
State Auditor Dunn yesterday, it is
doubtful whether the drainage commits
sion, recently provided for by the legis-
lature for the purpose of having low
wet state lands drained, will do any,
thing this year. The auditor says the
$4,000 appropriated is only a drop in
the bucket, and that the only lands
worth troubling about now are the state
school lands. The commission is sup
posed to spend 5000 this year and
the same amount next year, but the au-
ditor. who is a member of the new
commission, says that he is in favor of
doing nothing unless cases come up whore
1t is absolutely necessary to take some
action.

A rumor gained ground yesterday
that a special meeting of the assembly
would be called for the purpose of re-
considering the contract awarded to r.
F. Conway & Co. for paving the lower
part of Rice street
The keen competition of the Conway
company resulted in reducing the aver
age price on asphalt for this street
about SO cents per square yard, but the
argument being used in reconsidering
the award is that by readvertising still
lower bids will be received from the Bar
Der company.
