IN STRICT QUARANTINE
MORE YOUNG WOMEN HAVE SMALL
POX AT AGRICULTURAL SCHOOL
In All, Seven Cases Have Developed
and More May Be Found
Four at City Pest
House.

st. Paul health authorities are now car
ing for three more smallpox-afHicted
students taken from the state expert
mental school yesterday. This makes
seven cases in all anu more are looked
for.
The school and its occupants are in a
state of siege, quarantine of a most rigid
character having been established. The
students are also feeling the seriousness
OF their position and not few of the
young women in attendance are sick with
fright attendant upon the presence Of the
disease.
The presence of the disease at the
school has been traced to one of the
students who spent a two weeks vaca-
tfon at her home in one of the towns of
the state. The disease IN her particular
case was so mild that she was not COM
PEELED to go to bed, and though feeling
slightly sick, returned to the farm. 1t
was while barring her arm for vaccina-
ton that its presence was discovered.
She has been quarantined ana all with
whom she associated are undergoing a
similar siege.
Health Commissioner Ohage says the
outbreak would never have occurred had
the authorities demanded vaccination
certificates of all the students. In each
case so far, the victim was never vac
cinated, and Dr. Ohage thinks this fact
should go far toward establishing his
stand that vaccination Should be COM
pulsory VI

for four of them and while the city will

SCHOOL BOARD
IS WARNER IN THE SAME BOX9
Both Said to Have Absented Them
selves From Meetings of Confer
ence
Doesn't Believe It,

According to the terms of the city
charter President Bernard Zimmerman,
Of the board of education, is no longer
a member Of the city government Ac-
cording to the records he has violated
that provision of the city charter which
demands monthly attendance at the
meetings of the conference committee,
and as a penalty must suffer decapita-
tiCn.
The particular provision through which
punishment is meted out to derelict off,
Gals is that which reads as follows:
Any member of said conference COM
m1ttee who is absent from it's meetings
for two successive sessions, or shall fail
for two successive sessions to make the
monthly reports herein directed, shall
thereby be held, without other act or
proceeding, to have resigned his office
and the duties thereof and shall thereby
be disqualified to hold any public office
in said city for the period of one year
next thereafter, and his successor shall
be appointed as prescribed by the char
ter In case of resignation. Said COM
mlttee shall have no power, and no power
shall exist to excuse any officer from
making the monthly report herein pre-
scribed and directed.
According to the records Mr. thinner
mann has missed two successive meetings,
that of Dec. and Jan. Is. In each he
is marked by the clerk as being absent.
1 don't believe 1T, said President
zimmerman when his attention was
called to the matter yesterday. "One Of
those meetings was an adjourned ses-
sion and does not count. I am gener-
ally on hand, for I am aware of this
rather strict provision, and take care not
to violate it. There is undoubtedly some
mistake"
The fact that there have been absen-
tees was given publicity yesterday, when,
at the request of Comptroller McCardy,
the status of the provision was explain
ed through a written opinion supplied by
Corporation Attorney Markham. Mr.
McCardy was absent the last meeting.
and he was fearful that a repetition
would bring disaster.
Another official who is said to be minus
a job because of this provision, IS Pres
ident Warner, of the assembly. 1t is
claimed that he has been both absent and
without the required reports. Should
this be true. Mr.. Warner in the event
that he landed the office of mayor, would
be unable to fill it, Interested parties
are now at work on the minutes of the
conference committee, and some interest
ing things are expected.

MAYOR SMITH is CAREFULLY
LOOKING OVER NEW WINE
ROOM ORDINANCE
HE WILL NOT TUKN IT DOWN
Yesterday He Int1mated That His
Signature Would Be Affixed To-
morrow, After He Has
Read 1t.

Up to a late hour yesterday afternoon
Mayor Smith had not affixed his signature
to the wine room ordinance passed by
both bodies of the council.
Il want a little more time to look
over it," said the mayor, when asked
yesterday afternoon if he had approved
it.
1.-THE penalty provisions of the measure,
from what [ can see, are little incon-
sistent," said the mayor, 'but I guess
[ will sign it when 1 get around to it,
No one seems to be protesting, so 1
suppose [ had better let it go through"
There should be a wine room law"
continued the mayor, "but it should be
based on reason. There should be pen
atty and stiff one for violations, hut
there is such d thing as rendering law
imperative by the size Of the fine you
impose"
The work of the two codes in the
shape of a bulky mass of resolutions
and acts was handed over to the mayor
yesterday for signature, and he was occu-
pied nearly the entire day looking
through it. The wine room ordinance
was laid aside for mature consideration,
and will be given attention Monday. when
his honor intends to legalize it by his
signature.

matter for a long time to come, as the
governor decided to permit the defendant
to introduce the testimony given in his
behalf in the recent trial before Judge
Pond This was the only important fea-
ture of the hearing yesterday. When
the governor announced that he was
ready to begin, Mr. Megaarden was rep
resented by Attorney A. Y. Merrill and
Judge John H Steele, and the state by
County Attorney G. L. Smith, of Hen
nepin county. Assistant Attorney Gener-
al Somerby sat with the governor. The
two immense volumes Of testimony taken
by Commissioners Stratton and Salmon
were before his eXcellency for considers
ton.
The defense moved for a weeks con-
tinuance of the case to allow them time
to submit further testimony in behalf
of Mr.. Megaarden. The governor de-
MED the application for continuance.
The attorneys for Megaarden said that
at the time the governors commission
ers heard the case against Megaarden,
the defense was greatly handicapped by
the fact that they were preparing to
defend a criminal trial in the district
court, and they could not introduce all
the testimony favorable to Megaarden
in the hearing because of the great adj
vantage it would give the state in the
trial of the case in district court Be-
PENDANT had not been fully heard before
the commission, and would very much
like to introduce further evidence in his
behalf. Finally the governor decided
that it was only fair and just that the
defense be allowed to present the testi-
mOny offered in the trial before Judge
Pond. The defense suggested that a
special commission be appointed to take
further testimony.
Mr.. Smith protested strongly, saying
that the expense was not justified. The
commission had already run up an ex-
pense of $1,500, which ought not to be
increased. There was no reason Why
Megaarden should not have put in all
testimony favorable to him at the hear
ing, as the truth never hurt anyone. He
said the only defense made by MegaarIen
in the trial in the district court was that
he was personally ignorant of the charges
which had been made in the spe etfc
cases. If Megaarden were not dishonest
he was at least Incompetent, and, if
the latter, he should be removed any
way.
Mr.. Merrill took up the gauntlet and
declared that Mr. Megaarden had only
done as his predecessors had done,
whereupon Mr.. Smith disputed him end
said that Alonzo Phillips, despite tha
charges to the contrary, had not made
the same charges that Megaarden had
Judge Steele wanted. to know why the
overcharges had not been detected by
the county attorney when the bills were
before the commissioners, and Mr.. Smith
replied that the county attorney was not
on trial.
Gov. Van SAINT did not care to deal
in generalities and was tired of the re-
torts passing back and forth, and told
the gentlemen to get down to business.
Mr. Smith took up the charges of the
public examiner in detail and discussed
them at great length. The hearing last
ed until late in the afternoon, and was
then continued until next week.

NEW CLAY COMPANY
MINNESOTA CONCERN INCORPOR-
ATES WITH 100000
CAPITAL
WILL BUILD IMMENSE PLANT
Has Purchased 72-Acre Clay Deposit
Said to Be Best in Country
and InexhaustibIe in
Quantity.
WILL BUILD IMMENSE PLANT

The Minnesota Clay company with head
offices in this city, has filed articles Of in
corporation and let all contracts for the
building of one of the largest brick plants
in the country, and the most complete
and up-to-date of any in the Northwest.
The plant is to be located at Coon creek
in AnOka county, about twelve miles
north Of Minneapolis where a large body
of exceptionally fine clay has been dis
covered. The clay is Of the quality for
making vitrified brick, such as are used
for paving and sewer purposes. The last
contract was let yesterday and the work
of constructing the plant will be begun
at once.
The plant is located within a short s.
lance of three railways, the Northern
Pacific, Great Northern and Eastern Min
nesota. Spur tracks 1880 feet long will
be built connecting the roads with lAe
machinery building.
1t is claimed by the owners of the
property that the raw clay is the heaviest
and densest found in the United States,
containing large per centage of iron,
aluminium and silica, while there is no
alkali or limestone to overcome.
The machinery of the plant is the latest,
so arranged that the clay will be taken
from the pit by powerful steam shovel,

cars will transport the material to the
graduating department, where it will be
automatically unloaded. Gravity will
then take the clay from the granuIator to
the crusher, pug mill and cutter.
All this work will be done without the
clay being touched by hand until 1t is
taken from the cutting table 20 the
brick cars. There are 225 brick cars to
haul the material to Inc dryer, which
ri ont oil ba hxyc nd
hot air, so that the manufacture of bricks
may go on twelve months in the year
without any attention being paid to the
condition of the weather. from the dryer
the bricks will be taken to the permanent
kilns which have a capacity Of 25O, 600
each.
Inc company has purchased " acres
of clay deposit which has been bored to
a depth of 100 feet without striking bot
tom, and thus providing for an almost in
exhaustible supply of material.
Some idea of the magnitude of the plant
may be CLEANED from the fact that it will
require 27000 tons of coal each year, or
$1,000 barrels of oil to run the plant.
The authorized capital o. the company
is 100000 The following are the officers:
George H. Shellenberger, president; f. D.
Kendrick, vice president; V. Gilman, sec
rotary and treasurer. The directors as
listed in the articles of Incorporation are:

Citizens in Sections That Are in

Up Some Lusty

The st. Paul Gas Lighting company,
1t is reported, is anything but pleased
with the recent order Of the board of
public works calling for Welsbach
nantes and equipment on all the plain
burner gas lamps According to those
who claim to known, the change,
despite the increased cost to the
city, will make substantial
inroad on the companys revenues, as
the local concern will have to divide it's
profits with the mantle trusts, who only
lease their products
Additional to this the installation of
the mantles will materially decrease the
consumption of gas and this the opposi-
ton to the order say will have the
effect of perpetuating the present rate
of $13O a Thousand feet The officials of
the company are on record as saying
that as soon as the consumption in ST.
Paul equals that of Minneapolis.
the Sanity City will be enjoying the
same rate at its neighbor $12O a thou
