MAKE AN ISSUE.
WerdaII Hodapp Will Put Up a Build
ina in Plum Street.

Wendall Hodapp last Friday sent
communication to the council
in regard to the construction of
the interlocking switch building six
teen feet on Plum street, between the
tracks. He is much stirred up over
what he consideres 81 be wrong
For time he thought of enjoining
the placing of the building OF the
street, but has concluded to address a
message to the council. He intends to
build building in Plum street east
of the tracks, adjoining his property,
occupied by J. c. Thro's drug store.
He takes the ground that if the rail
roads can use part of the street fol-
a building he can do the same.

STATE TAKES HOLD
Will Investigate the SpauIding
Requisition Deal.
Governor Van SAINT Does Not Want the
Commonwealth Converted Into
Collection Agency.

The st. Paul Pioneer Press of Friday
contained the following:
Gov. Van SAINT Is determined that
acquisitions issued on governors of
other states for the return of persons
accused of committing crimes in Min
nesota shall not be used as mere clubs
to enforce the collection of debts. He
is preparing to order an investigation
of the use made of the requisition on
the governor of Washington for the re-
turn Of William #. Spaulding and
Clarissa Spaulding. his wife, who
were said to be wanted at Mankato on
charge If obtaining money under
false pretenses.
!. Spaulding, it was alleged, sold real
estate, to which he had no title, for
81, 600, and collected $500. His wife,
it is alleged, signed the deed with
him which purported to transfer the
land. Spaulding and his wife went to
Seattle, and an application in proper
form was made to the governor for a
requisition, and the request was is
sued Dec. 4.
The papers contained the usual afi-
davit by the complaining witness and
the county attorney, that the requisi,
tion was asked to prosecute the alleged
offenders and not for the purpose Of
enforcing collection. The fedora
statutes relating to extradition and
the Interstate agreement relating tt
acquisitions also provide that requ Isl
t:ons shall be issued and honored only
for the apprehension and return Of
persons who are charged with {
criminal offense, and not to aid indi.
viduals in collecting debts.
The requisition for Spaulding wal
turned over to Chief of Police d. I
Bowen of Mankato. With the war
rant of the governor directing him t.
bring back Spaulding to stand trial
he started for Seattle. Mr.. Bower
has returned. but he did not bring
Spaulding back, and instead, it is al
legged, collected the money which tn
complaining witness claimed was du
to him. The attorney general hold
that Bowen not only had no right t.
do this, but was absolutely forbidden
to do so. He was sent to bring back
man wanted on a criminal charge an
not to act as collector for the som
planning witness.
Gov. Van SAINT was very wrathy yes
terday when the claim was made tina
the machinery of the state had bee
, transformed into a collecting agency
and he will order an investigation G
the case. There is no record of requisi
. tions and what becomes of the case
J for which men are wanted, and th
extent of the abuse. of acquisitions i
this manner is not known.
W. J. Donahower, assistant attol
ney general, said last evening that
there was any arrangement betwee
the complaining witness and the off
t Ger who went after Spaulding to co
| lect the money both may be prose
f cuted. The complaining witness ha
made an oath that Spaulding ha
Q committed crime and the requisitio
r was asked for the sole purpose {
bringing him back for prosecution, {
9 that if he was a party to an agree
Q ment not to bring back the man al
a cused, either the affidavit must
n false or the complaining witness ws
: an accomplice in aiding a criminal
y escape.
