Escaped From Officer Myers on For
 mer Occasion-Caught To-Day.
 In the city court to-day before Judge Peasley q test was made of the plumb ing ordinance. The accused was F. F. Thinning, plumber employed solely by Robert K. Brown. Plumb ing Inspector Walker testified that Thinning did not take out permit, nor did he ask for one. and that the work he did required a permit. Phin- ming testified that he simply made re- pairs in the store, 42 East Main street, formerly occupied by William Wright as a tea store, and which will soon be occupied by James Phelan for the same purpose. John Gill, oS Hard wicke x Gill, testified that he did some work on the premises for Mir Phelan and he saw the work done by Thinning and 1t was such work that plumbers usually took out permit for before beginning. Attorney Wood, counsel for Thinning, thought to make capital out of the fact that the city has not published a copy of its ordin- anees in book form for public use In twenty-seven years. and if the public was ignorant of such laws there ought to be some excuse. Prosecutor Du- rant said the city was not obliged to publish the ordinances in book form; |; so long as they were published in the papers it made them legal.
 City Clerk Ryan testified that any one desiring to see the ordinances can do so by applying at the proper source. the city clerks office. Phin- ming was fined the minimum penalty, S1O and costs.

as the package was kept on the table for
me, the whole family started to eat the

pale and bloodless, and who had been
suffering from chronic inflammation Of

to eat so heartily that we all remarked
about it, and before long he got so he
could eat anything without the least bad

I'VE often eat Grape-Nuts dry as we
would candy or nuts, and it has a richer

best way is to put on some good, rich
cream.

CONTRACTS SPLIT UP
COUNCIL SETTLES LIGHTING con-
TROYERSY FOR NEXT THREE
MONTHS
ACTION ATTENDED BY FRICTION
American Development Company
Wanted Entire Contract, but
Cleveland Company Secured
Fiat Flame Award.


For the next four months, or to be ex-
plicit until the first Of June, the resi-
dence portion of st. Paul now lighted by
gasoline. will be handled by two firms.
BY full vote both bodies of the council
yesterday afternoon placed the contract
for fiat flame lighting with the Cleve-
land Vapor Light company, and the gaso-
line incandescent lighting with Robert
Seeger, the local agent and president OF
the American Development company.
Tabulations of the bids submitted by
the two companies and examined by Cor
poration Attorney Markham and City En-
gineer Ciaussen, showed that the Cleve-
land company was considerably the low
est on the fiat flame lamp, while Robert
Seeger was alone in compliance with the
specifications for the ineandescent style.
For this class of lighting the Cleveland
company had confined itself to simple
proposition naming candle power and
other conditions that were at variance
with the specifications. On the recon-
mendation of this committee the con-
tracts were divided between the two COM
panies

lneandescent kind $2.47 a month will be
paid. OF the fiat fame kind 1900 are in
Use, while Of the incandescents 600 only
are in service.
While unanimous in voting to award the
contracts. as recommended, a lively dis
cuSsion was INDUCED in by the members
Mr.. Seeger, through his attorney, also
taking part in the argument to the ex-
tent Of protesting against the award of
contract to the Cleveland company on
the ground that it had not furnished
sample lamp. The corporation attorney
held that such was not necessary. Mr.
Seeger also wanted the city to use zoos
incande scent lamps but the request was
refused.
Aid Hunt attributed the present con-
troversy to an attempt on the part of the
council to stifie competition, but he was
answered by Aid. Murphy, who laid the
blame at the door of the corporation at
torney and the board of public works
Other insinuaticnss were also INDUCED in
by Mr.. Hunt.
The final sward of contracts will not
be made until rext week. and in the
meantime the Cleveland company prom
ises to go abe aG installing its plant. The
company has fifteen days in which to do
it, but says the time used will be less.
All that has to be furnished is the burn
ers. The city owns the lamps and other
fixtures On June l the contract for the
remainder of the year will be placed.
Mr.. Seeger did not seem at all pleased
with the loss of a part of the city's
lighting, and through his attorny made
intimation, which, if carried out, may
mean further recourse to the courts. He
holds that the Cleveland company has
not fully complied with the specifications
in the call for bids.

The police commission held meeting
yesterday afternoon and investigated the
charges against Officer Charles G.. Bahne-
man, who discharged his revolver some
time ago when on duty, the bullet going
through the coat of Peter Raverty, a
special policeman, who preferred the
charges against Bahneman
The trouble occurred early Sunday
morning, Dec. %, and the commission,
after considering the evidence in execu-
tive session, removed Bahneman from the
force, ana also revoked the special license
of RaVerty on the ground that he was
not fit man to hold such a position.
Ofncer Costello, who was on the scene at
the time of the trouble, was fined $40
for not doing his Whole duty as a police
officer.
Itaverty said Bahneman started the
trouble and kept or the aggressive from
the beginning to the finish, while on the
other hand Bahreman alleged Rayerty
started it because he (Bahneman had
arrested Raverty's wife about a year
ago. Raverty exhibited his fur coat
through which the bullet had passed, and
showed the large spot burned by the
powder from BahEeman's revolver

RECTOR DENIES IT ALL
REV. H. DIXON JONES GIVES HIS
VERSION OF NASSAU CASE
Admits Having CIasped Complain
ants Waist, but Did So Mere
ly to SOOthe Her
Feelings.

Inc taking of testimony in the third
trial of Rev. Henry Dixon Jones, rector
of the church of the Messiah, for i'm
proper conduct is proceeding slowly at
Christ's church. The evidence for the
prosecution was completed yesterday and
Mr.. Jones took the stand in his own
behalf. His testimony was not completed
and will occupy some time this morn
ing as it is being subjected to close scrut-
tiny. s.;
He emphatieally denies any actions to-
ward Mrs. NASSAU that were not proper
and claims they were friendly at all
times. He admits he was interested in
the woman and that he called upon her
several times during her husbands alb
sence because she was lonely and despon-
dent.
He remembers two occasions when his
actions might have been misunderstood
as being too affectionate. One of these
was when Mr. and Mrs. Nassau called at
his home which Mrs. NASSAU and other
ladies had cleaned and put in order In
his gratitude he clasped lnem both about
the waist and thanked them for their
kindness.
The other occasion was when he had
found Mrs. Nassau in tears over some
trivial matter and he took her in his arms
and attempted to soothe her. These two
times he maintains were the only occa-
sions when there was the slightest reason
for claiming his actions to be improper
He would not deny the story of the dark
ened room, but explained that the lady Of
the house was out, and there was a light
in the next room. They had talked until
the lady returned He noticed that his
presence was not desired in the house but
considered it to be beneath his dignity
to seek an explanation of the treatment
he received. He contented himself by
ceasing his calls.
Mrs. Nassau was a member of the altar
committee and this occasionally brought
her to his house. But at all times he had
acted toward her as an elder brother
would and could see no reason for their
claiming his conduct to be improper.
1t is likely that the trial will not be
completed for at least two weeks as the
court is likely to ADJOURN for ten days,
as one of its members finds that he must
be absent from the city.

DULUTH HAS A KICK
ZENITH CITY FEARS ONE PRoVIs-
ION OF NEW TAX
LAW
WILL DRIVE VESSELS AWAY
New System of Taxing Floating
Property Will Play Havoc
With Duluth Port
Business.

The legislative delegation from Duluth
and Northern Minnesota will probably be
hard pressed to fight certain provisions
of the new tax law. The bulk of the OPP
position to the extra session came from
Duluth, and from her will also come the
bulk of the opposition to the bill as it
now stands. The business men of the
Zenith city fear the result of the law
upon that city, if it is passed as it now
stands. They declare that if the present
system of taxing floating property is a
Knocked out all the boats, dredges and
other floating property now enrolled at
the port of Duluth will be Withdrawn and
enrolled elsewhere.
The general sentiment of the Duluth
ians is thus summed up by champion
of the opposition:
1T is admitted by everybody that the
boats do not pay as much taxation as
their valuation warrants, bu that is
not the question. The point is, how
much taxes are they willing to pay in
the state of Minnesota. The present
law taxes floating property on a basis
u D cents net ton. The income from
this class of property at Duluth is now
nearly $4,000 a year in taxes, one-half
of which goes to the state Under the
provisions of the tax commissions these
boats, dredgeS, etc. will be taxed at
their full value as personal property.
'Fesselmen are already laughing at
the idea, and the tonnage that is now
enrolled at Duluth amounting to 312,
III net tons. will be Withdrawn much
quicker than it has been attracted
here, if the bin becomes law in its
present form. Even under the favorable
system of cents a net ton it has been
difficult to get Duluth up to the posi-
ton of leading port on the lakes in point
of tonnage enrolled, Port Collector Will
cuts has worked hard for several years
to secure the present enrolment. and
many of the boat owners consented to
transfer their papers for the sake of
being accommodating as much as any
thing, for, as already stated, there are
many other places where low taxation
prevails for boat property.
AT the last session of the Wisconsin
state legislature a system of vessel tax
alton was adopted similar to that now in
vogue in Minnesota. 1t would be small
trouble for the boat and dredge men
to remove their papers to the other side
of the bay, where they would be well
coined with open arms. The vessel taxa
ton law for Wisconsin was passed at
the urgent solicitation of Superior to
dissuade the late Capt c. S. Barker
from moving his dredges and tugs to
Duluth
