Have Panama Company and Rail-
roads an Understanding.
Washington, Jan. S.-Mr. Morgan Of
fered the following resolution in the SEN
ate to-day:
That the committee on interoceanic canals
has leave to sit during the sessions of the

MAY Be LONG FIGHT
That Over Wilkins Bill for Poor
Farm Plumbing.
ANTITRUST LAW IS QUESTIONED
May Go to U. S. Supreme
j. Court. -

lawsuit which may come IN time to
have national interest was begun when
an appeal was taken from the allowance
of the bill of Charles Wilkins & Co. for
plumbing at the poor farm. The appeal
forced Wilkins & Co. to begin an action
against the county commissioners for
$1,430. He alleged that the contract for
the work had been formally let to him
at $4,000, he being the lowest bidder, and
that he had complied with the terms of
the contract and the specifications to
the smallest detail
In answer to the apparently fair state
ments in the complaint the county alleges
the existence of combination or trust
among the plumbers to control the price
of material and labor in this city, this
combination being maintained in violation
Of section 359, general laws of 1899, the
famous antitrust" law Of Minnesota.
Mr.. Wilkins is represented as member
of this organization. The reference is
undoubtedly to the well-knoWn Master
Plumbers association.
Mr.. Wilkins denies the charges, and
then proceeds to allege that the section
in question is unconstitutional, because 1t
contravenes sections 2 and Z, Of article
1, of the constitution of Minnesota, which
provides, among other things, that Ter
SONS are not to be deprived of their prop
erty, except by due process CT law. The
section he says, ialso contravenes section
l, of the fourteenth amendment of the
constitution of the United States, which
provides that states shall not make laws
abridging the equal rights of citizens.
It thus may happen that apparently un-
pretentious suit may lead to an attack on
the constitutionality of the states "anti-
trust" law, and if it reaches that stage,
the end will not come until the supreme
court of the United States has reviewed
the case and passed final judgment.
G. S. Jelley, who appears for MT. Will
kins, says that he does not apprehend that
the question raised. by Hennepin county
will necessarily receive judicial atten-
tom in the present suit, but if it does he
and his client are ready for the isue,
even If it is necessary TO go to the SUI
preme court Of the country. ,

St. Louis Park Electric Line to Have

St. Louis Park Electric Line to Have
q Power Plant.
Owing to the necessity of utilizing every
available bit Of current for its own lines
the Twin City Rapid Transit company
has notified the management Of the St.
Louis and Hopkins line that it must make
arrangements to secure It's power from
another source hereafter. The st. Louis
Park company will be given reasonable
dength of time after the notification to
provide other means of propulsion, but the
suburban company is now under the i'm
mediate necessity Of securing its motive
power elsewhere. BY curtailing the sup
ply to the St. Louis Park line the street
railway management expects materially
to relieve the situation inside the cor
porate limits of the two cities.
Anticipating just such an emergency, T..
B. Walker, principal owner of the St.
Louis Park line, has investigated the cost
of power station at st. Louis Park.
Work on such station will probably be
commenced shortly.

FREE GARBAGE COLLECTION
Don't Seem to to APP

H6useholders Don't Seem to to APP
precfate Their Opportunities.
Either the community is producing little
garbage at this time of the year, else peo-
pie do not understand that the work of col
lecting garbage is done by the city
wholly without charge to the householder.
Only very small per cent of the house
holders have thus far signifed any desire for
the cooperation of the health department in
keeping their premises clean, and the de-
partment officials take it to mean that they
are in ignorance Of the changes made in the
method of collection
The department has issued card designed
to be hung up in the kitchen, stating the rules
governing the separation of garbage and how
1t shall be kept A metallic Of stated
size is the first requirement. Then all kitchen
garbage must be kept separate from the ash
es, stable manure and tin cans, glass and
other house refuse.

UP TO COY. VAN SAINT
He Takes Up Sheriff Megaarden's
Case To-day.
WILLIAMS WON'T MAKE A FIGHT
j. w. Dreger the Only Man Mem
toned us Probable Successor
of Megaarden.

John H.. Steele, attorney for Phil T..
Megaarden, met G. l.. Smith at the cap
ital yesterday, and both waited on the
governor, to confer regarding a date for
the hearing. The attorneys could not
agree, and the governor informed them
that he would settle the matter himself
tomorrow morning and give them no
tice. The governor is anxious to get the
matter off his hands. Neither attorney
would state outside the governors sane
tum, what date he had preferred.
Williams Will Let Go.
At last accounts Coroner Williams had
decided to let go of the sherdff's Office
just as soon as someone with certificate
of election from the county commissioners
presented himself It Is generally ad-
mitted that the laws are in conflict on
the question of the succession. Some
lawyers hold that the law empowering the
county commissioners to fill the vacancies
in county offices does not apply to the
sherif's Office. as there is statute pro-
viding that the coroner shall look after
the sheriff's work, In case OF the latter's
disability. Many we'll known attorneys
contend that there is enough doubt to
warrant Coroner Williams in remaining
in charge until the supreme court settles
the law points involved.
AS one judge facetiously remarked, 1.-THE
supreme court placed him in the office.
and the supreme court Is the only power
that can GUST him.
DIR. Williams has taken counsel, hew-
ever, and 1t has generally been conceded
that if the matter was taken into the
courts it would be held that the sheriff 8
office could mot be treated otherwise than
any other county Office, and that the only
reason for providing that the coroner
should step in under certain conditions
was because the office was such an impor-
tant one that some provision for having
1t expeditiously filled had to be made.
The county commissioners are ready.
and even anxious, to elect sheriff The
"bAg three Commissioner Sweet, Nash
and Smith--are understood to have agreed
upon J. w. Dreger, Of the Third ward.

The inquiry into the sensational charges

Is said to have struck Mr.. Jones such a
singing blow in the face as to knock him
flown. Mr.. Jones has since been sus-
pended by Bishop Edsall, and has de-
manded thorough investigation.

Court Took Pity.

Edward A. .Stegens thought that default
divorce case, which he had undertaken to
guide through the mysteries Of the district
court was set for to-day, SO he went to
court with the plaintiff. a string of witnesses
and his most severe judicial expression. Ar
irving at the courthouse, Stevens was little
surprised to find himself week ahead Of
time. He looked so sad over the discovery
that Judge Harrison advanced the case on the
calendar. Stevens smiled and brought up
number of witnesses to prove that Gussa M.
schwemborn was entitled to divorce from
Edward Schwemborn because the latter had
deserted her and their two children.

BACK TO MISSOURI
Younger Brothers Would Return to
Their Boyhood Home.
THEY ASK FOR COMPUTATION
The Board of Pardons Will Con-
slider Their Petition Next
--~. Monday.

Thomas Coleman Younger and James
Harden Younger have applied to the state
board Of pardOnS for Communication Of their
sentences to thirty-hve years They have
already served, with good time allowance,
thirty-six years, and if the application is
granted will be free men.
Their reason for seeking release is that
they desire to spend their remaining
years with friends in their old Missouri
home, where they have assurances of help
in business. The terms of their parole
| are irksome.
The regular meeting of the board Of
pardons will be next Monday at p. NJ,
| when the petitions will be considered
The brothers state in their applications
that for five years previous to their con-
viction of murder, their occupation was
trading in horses and cattle in Texas and
Missouri"
Cole Younger asks communication upon
the following grounds:
First-That he hasTalready served the term
of thirty-six years.
Second-That he is DESTROYS of returning to
| his old home and establishing himself In a
business of his own
Third-That friends stand ready to furnish
ample capital for this purpose as soon as he
is restored to full citizenship.
Fourth-That under the present conditions
! they do not feel disposed to do
Fifth-That he is now at an advanced age,
| and for the few remaining years desires to
! live among his relatives and to at least at
| tempt redemption of the past.
| Sxth-That no further ends of justice can
| be served by keeping him on parole.
| Jim Younger's application is the same
! except ip the following paragraphs, stat
| ing:
That, owing to six balls lodged in his body,
| but particularly one in his neck and one in
his left hip, he is constantly in danger of a
| paralytic stroke.
That, if he were free, he could have a
| home, and settle down in a warm climate,
| and in business of his own choice, thereby
insuring care and comfort for the few years
| he has yet to live.
| That ne is at an advanced age, and desires
! a home and family above all things. That he
wishes to surround himself with friends and
| relatives and in every way to demonstrate
! his ability to become a good citizen.
| That undere present conditions he is COR
tinIally at the mercy of impersonators and
advertisers, who seek to make capital out of
his misfortune.
1t is evident, from their statements
that the brothers are very much dissat-
| isfed with the conditions under which
| they have to make a living in Minnesota.
| They will probably appear. before the
ton.
