QUORUM NOT NECESSARY
TO SECURE THE MAYORS 80. X"
and Charities ~Meets-Dr. Nell
sons Statement. @

The many matters Of moment before the
board OF corrections and charities still
remain unsettled There was no quorum
last night. Commissioner Woodward was
sick, and, recognizing the futility Of try
ing to do business without him, Commits
sioners Moore and RiRehart stayed away.
Mayor Ames and Commissioner Russell
were on hand. however. and SO was City
Physician Nelson and all the other par
ties interested. Mayor Anes in his ca
pacity of ex-officio member of all COM
mittees put his ok" on all the bills,
and Commissioner Russell affixed his sig
nature to all those falling il the work
house list. The mayor said he did not
see any reason why the business OF the
board SHOULD stop Just for lack of quo
rum. The absent members will be asked
to indorse the 7ninority's action in this
regard at the next meeting
DR.. Nelson submitted to the board last
night a carefully prepared statement to
show that his management of the city
hospital had been more economical than
that of his predecessor. The average
cost per patient in 1900 was s1.14 per day
according 20 his statement and for the
year 1901, Sill. While there was an in
crease in expenditures for 1901 OF 70 per
cent, the increase in the number OIL pa :
tients for the same, time was 30 per cent.
He called attention, too, to the fact that
owing to the occupancy of the new build
ing the cost Of heating had been greatly
increased. New employees had also been
added and salaries raised in some cases
From July, 10, of last year. when he as
Isumed charge of the hospital, to Dec. 81
| the cost pei patient, per day, was SA.UI2,
against 81 .0S1 for the corresponding time
| in 1900. In that time he collected
| 81, O33. II from patients. The total net ex-
nanSeS for 9O1 were S44, 26l.

IN FAVOR OF REMOVAL
FOR THE CARRIAGE CREuATORY
Board of Health Would Place In
Generators in East Side
Pumping Station.

Recognizing the unnecessary costliness
of the present system of hauling garbage
clear to the Workhouse grounds, the Min
neapolis board Of health will request the
city council at next Friday nights meet
ing to consent to the immediate removal
OF the crematory to the East Side pump
ing station at the lower. end of Henne-
pin island. The board discussed the mat
ter in all it's phases yesterday and de-
cided that this change was both neces-
sary and practicable. ..-" - X. .a 49,:
Investigation has shown that the two
incinerators can be used in the pumping
station without in any way interfering
with the operations of the pumps. Ex-
cept in case of big fire among the

Side pumps at all this year. and after the
completion Of the new Northeast pumping
station, the East Side station can be
abandoned entirely as a pumping station.
1t is estimated that the building will &C
commodate six 1ncinerators after the
pumping machinery has been removed,
which is more than twice the capacity

DR.. Hall will see the Pillsbury A mill

ANOTHER Big ONE|TOO MUCH REFORM
Fowler Bill Not Expected to Make
Much Progress
IN PRESENT SESSION OF CONGRESS
Education Must Precede
Reforms.

Minneapolis bankers do not expect to
see the Fowler bill, introduced recently
in the national house of representatives
by the committee on banking and cur
rency, make much progress at this ses-
sion Of congress. The fact that it in
wolves so many important changes in the
country's financial system is expected to
arouse much opposition. Local bankers
| believe that financial reform must come
! by degrees after education on the subject.
| The house bill includes several radical
| changes which 1t is not believed that many
or the banks are ready for, and which
| the general public will not be ready to
| sanction until the various questions have
/ been thoroughly dissected.
| The local bankers are unwilling to dis
cuss the proposed bill to any extent until
/ they have had better opportunity to be-
| come acquainted with it's provisions. The
! synopsis shows that asset currency, a
branch banking system, and the retire
ment of greenbacks are all included IN
/ the house bill. These are three distinct
1 propositions which have been discussed
! for some time and to which there is much
i difference of opinion, especially as to
4 methods of procedure. It is the magnif-
1 cent scope Of the bill which makes local
bankers believe that it's best result will
be an addition to the general knowledge
Of the country's needs in financial reform
/ It is pointed out that asset currency alone
is subject on which bankers as well
/. as the people need education before any
I departure from the present system is
made. Bankers are united in the opinion
i that the country needs an emergency cir
l culation, but there are a variety of views
4 as to how that circulation should be pro-
/ Vided.

The United Norwegian Lutheran
Church to Meet Here.
DELEGATES WILL NUMBER 700.
Unofficial Visitors Will Bring the
Total Attendance Up
to 1900.

It has been decided by the United
Norwegian Lutheran Church Of America
that the annual conference shall be held
in Minneapolis this year, thus bringing to
the city another large convention. Ordi-
nariiy about 700 delegates attend these
meetings and with them come that many
more visitors so that upward of 1,5O0
strangers may be expected here during
the convention. This will be the fourth
time that the United Church has met in
this city although organized no longer ago
than 1890.
i While many cities in the country would
like to entertain this conference the del
egates favor Minneapolis on account OF
her excellent railway facilities and the
accommodations An additional argu-
ment in favor OF holding the conference in
this city is the fact that the fine new
Theological seminary at st. Anthony park
is to be dedicated this spring and ais q
great many Of the clergy and lay people
wish to attend the ceremony, it was de-
cided to arrange matters so that bot b
events should come together.
The daily sessions of the United Church
will be held at the Bethlehem Norwegian
Lutheran church, Fourteenth avenue
south and Eighteenth street which has
twice before entertained this body. The
meeting will open June Is and will con-
tinue until June 26.

THE BROADWAY BURLESQUERS AT
THE DEWEY

The Broadway Burlesquers are at the
Dewey this week. Their visit is misfor-
tune from which the theater can recover only
with the passage of time. The show is hope
lessly unfunny and unattractive. The olio
contains two good acts, the horizontal bar
performance of the Aldo brothers, who are
among the best in their line, and a musical
act by Frederick brothers and Burns. Aldo
brothers come on at $40 and the musical act
at o'clock. There is no reason for visiting
the theater before the former act begins, nor
for staying after the latter has closed. How
ever, the olio ends with a song and dance
speciality by the Baileys, a colored team that
makes good by comparison.
The opening burlesque is both stupid and
vulgar, while the second is merely inane. The
elephant episode for the first burlesque is
hopelessly duh and hopelessly vulgar. II
might well be cut, out entirely. So, too, might
the entire performance with the exceptions
already noted.

Northern Pacific Trains Will Run
over Great Northern Tarcks.
Special to The Journal.
Crookston, Mimi, March 1.-An ar
rangement has been made between the
Great Northern and Northern Pacific at
this point whereby trains on the last
named road will be run over the Great
Northern tracks from this city to Grand
Forks during the remainder of the mont h
and perhaps longer.
This move is necessitated by the early
opening of spring which will not give the
Northern Pacific time before the breaking
up of the ice in the Red river to complete
the rebuilding of the railroad bridge at
Grand Forks.
The delay has been caused by the fail
ure of the company to secure the material
in time to have the construction done
without interrupting its traffic, and the
false work that has been erected on the
ice is not safe.
The, work of laying a spur track and
placing the switches to connect the t wo
roads will be done this week, material for
that purpose being now on the way to
Crookston. The connection will be made
