WANT OIL FRANCHISE
INSTALL A SYSTEM OBJ
PIPES
HARD FIGHT IS EXPECTED
Representatives of New Concern Say
Cost of Heating Can BE Re-
duced - Referred to
Markham.

The application of the Crude Oil neat
ing and Power company for a heating
and power franchise came up before ne
committee on streets of the BOARD OF
aldermen at it's meeting yesterday after
noon, and was referred back to The cor
poration attorney. who will make :. re-
port on the proposed ordinance direct to
the council at its meeting next Tue=Lay
evening.
1t is expected that a hard fight will
be put up by those opposing the fran
chise when it comes up in the meeting
of the board of aldermen Tuesday even
ing.
James r. Hickey, representing the
company, stated that the company had
already bought the land on which TO
build the oil supply cisterns, and that
If 1t were granted franchise the COM
pany intended to put in a system OF pipes
similar to the gas company's in the busI-
ness and manufacturing district
Mr.. Hickey, in speaking Of the matter
last night, said to T he Globe:
9sgThe question of heating in this North
ern climate is one that affects the ricn
and the poor alike. At present there Is
no open competition in fuels. II is
claimed that oil will reduce the cost to
the consumer at least $3.50 per ton for
heating or power purposes. The cost OF
reconstructing any of the present plants
to burn oil is nominal. The property has
been secured for the cisterns, which Will
be entirely under the surface Of the
ground. The ordinance provides for the
payment of the per cent gross earning
tax and subject to all charter provisions.
Oil will be used if necessity requires it
to be delivered to tanks placed in build
ings for each plant.

Gov. Van SAINT and Attorney General
Douglas arrived from Helena yesterday
afternoon and from the depot went di-
rectly to the capitol. The governor
declined to enter into any discussion as

OVERCOME BY COAL GAS.
r. b. Snyder Narrowly Escapes
Death by AsphyxintiOn.

H. H. snyder Narrowly Escapes
Death by AsphyxfntiOn.
r. B. Snyder membership secretary Of
the Y. M. C. A, had a narrow escape
from death by asphyxiation New Years
eve. He went to his room at "a East
Eleventh street little after midnight,
and on entering noticed the odor of coal
gas. AS it was not very strong he went
to bed without opening the window, or
investigating it's origin.
A few hours later George Snyder, who
rooms with his brother, came into the
room, and as he did was nearly overcome
with the gas. He ran to the window and
opened it, AS he turned he stumbled
over the body of his brother who was
lying on the floor in an unconscious con-
dition.
DR.. Kischner was summoned and after
several hours work succeeded in restor-
ing consciousness, but Snyder is not yet
sufficiently recovered to return to his du-
ties.
1t seems that Mr.. Peterson, the proprie-
tor Of the house, had banked the fire in
the furnace early in the evening, and
shut off the drafts. For three hours
the fdmes from the coal had escaped into
the room occupied by Mr.. Snyder.

CANNOT STRING WIRES
COMMITTEE ON STREETS OPPOSES
TWIN CITY CO.'S APPLICATION.

The committee on streets of the board
of aldermen at it's meeting yesterday
afternoon voted to make an adverse re-
port to the council on the application of
the Twin City Telephone company for
permission to erect wires and string poles
on Lexington avenue, from Front street
to Como Park. President Wheelock, Of
the park board, and Supt. Nussbaumer,
were present and objected to the applica-
ton on the ground that the avenue was
being widened and boulevarded, and that
the erection of poles and stringing of
wires on it would mar the beauty of the
avenue. The committee, after hearing the
objections of Mr.. WheeIock and Supt.
Nussbaumer, made an unfavorable re-
port.

Above the Average

The customs collections for December
are roughly estimated at $4,000. This is
q marked increase over the December Of
1900, in which but $39,305 were collected.
This increase is probably due to the tact

RODEY'S ROAST
His Statehood Talk to New England
 Commercial Organization.

The Globe-Democrat, in Washing ton special, says: The New England Shoe and Leather association of Boston stirred up hornets nest when it adopted resolutions recently appealing to congress to reject the bill granting statehood to Oklahoma, New Mexico and Arizona. A copy of the resolu- tiOns was sent to Delegate Rodey of New Mexico. He answered it in a let ter that fairly sizzles with indignation and rebuke of the arguments offered by the association. His letter in part is as follows:
 On behalf of the people of the great territory of New Mexico l most en- phatically invite your association to mind it's own business. If it would only tell the truth, there could be no objec- tion to anything it might say. Your slanderous letter is but a tissue of falsehoods from beginning to end. What have the territories ever done to your association that you should take it upon yourselves to attempt to have denied to them their rights as citizens of the United States? The only thing We have ever done to your city of Bos- ton is that we have been guilty for from dozen years to half century and more of buying millions of dollars cottons, ducks, crockery and other mer- chandise from you. Is this a crime , Don't you want us to increase and
