STORY OF 0. LUNSTR0M
Says Swedish Authorities Are Pre-
venting Emigration by Use
of Stringent Measures.

Olaf Lunstrom Of Wermland, Sweden,
who passed through Minneapolis his
morning, told Emigrant Agent Groettun
that he had had hard time in getting
away from his native land. He said that
1t was all due to measures used to dis
courage emigration, and that he was the
only one OF a dozen from his native town
who succeeded in passing Christiania-a
highly improbable tale. The government
authorities, he said had Instructed all Of
his mates to return to their homes. It
was explained, said Lunstrom, that the
king had issued proclamation forbidding
the emigration OF able bodied men be-
tween the ages Of 10 and 80. This, he
said, was not part of the military reg
ulation, but was said to have been a
step taken by the king to protect and pre-
serve Scandinavian industries. The whole
sale migration to America, it was said,
was robbing the factories, mines and
farms of men physically able to do the
work required of them the able young
men leaving behind those who were I'M
willing or incapable of manual labor.
Prominent Seandinavians in Mime
apolis do not believe Lunstrom's story.
No news of such a proclamation as he
speaks of has been received here and it
Is said to be unlikely that King Oscar
would take such a STEP. Some time ago
there was movement to restrict emigra-
tion by legislation and it was proposed
to place a tax on persons leaving the
country but this failed of passage. It
is admitted, however, that the exodus
Is robbing the countries Of hundreds OF
their best men each year. It would not
be surprising, say some local Scandina-
VANS, if the king should take such step
as LunstrOm told of, and for the very pur-
pose he assigned.

HIS LAWYERS IN DOUBT
MAYER MAY NOT APPEAL CASE
Time Yet in Which to Decide-Jap-
anese Consul Leaves for
Chicago.

Toshiro Fujita, the japanese consul, re-
manned in Minneapolis until to- day,
awaiting decision by the attorneys OF
peal would be taken from Judge Lochren' S
decision on Monday that Mayer was prop
erly held for extradition. Ten days was
allowed in which to perfect an appeal,
and at the expiration Of that time, if no
appeal is taken, the warrant of the United
States secretary Of state will take effect.
It is probable that the full ten days will
be taken before Mayors attorneys de-
eide what course to take. Consul Fujita
will leave for Chicago tonight.
It Is the general opinion that an ap-
peal will avail little. Judge Lochren,. who
has already passed on the case, will be
one of the three Judges on the circuit
court Of appeals bench next term, and the
fact that both the United States com
missioner and Judge Lochren drew the
same conclusions from the evidence
lends color to the belief that delay will
be useless. >- - j.. -.
Mr.. F>ujita to-day Cancelled his order for
transportation for. three on the Kaga
Maru Of the Nippon Yusen 'Kaisha, which
will sail March II. The steamer Tosa is
due to leave Seattle March "a. In case it
Is necessary to send Mayer to Yokohoma,
the party will leave Minneapolis March
10 to connect with the Tosa.
It is not yet determined what will be
done with the family, consisting Of Mrs.
Mayer, two children and a servant, but
probably they will return on the same
steamer. The mother of Mrs. Mayer lives
not far from Yokohoma. Sri sd.

COURT CALLS HALT.
Judge Harvey Says Jail Is Not for
City's Unfortunates.
TWO CASES THAT ILLUSTRATE
Man With Delirium Tremens and
I Another With Fever Locked
Up us Insane.

Judge Harvey of the probate court de-
clared this morning that the county Jail
was neither q hospital nor police sta
ton. He will do his utmost to discourage
the practice OF lodging the city's unfor-
tunates in jail by classifying them as in
sane. In line with his decision to pur
sue such course he ordered the release
OF Otto Johnson from the county jail,
where he was taken because the police
and city hospital officials failed to dis
tingulsh between insanity and delirium
tremens. Johnson came down from the
woods with $780, and soon began to "see
things"
The police rushed him to the city hos
pftal, from which institution he was
turned over to the county Jail as insane.
The attending physicians reasoned that
because they could not detect alcohol on
Johnsons breath his condition could not
be dive to drink.
johnson assured Judge Harvey this
morning that his condition was due en-
tirely to- having imbibed an inordinate
quantity of mixed drinks.
Needed Medical Treatment.
Judge Hravey then turned his attention
to Charles Ikurtz. This young man, pale
and emaciated, trembling in every limb,
as with the ague, was found wandering
a1mlessly about at Franklin and Chicago
avenues last night. Because he was clad

| Though scarcely able to speak, he told
Judge Harvey that his residence was at
2824 Elliot avenue. Word was sent to his
family, which had not yet been notified.
| Says Judge Harvey: .
| These two cases should plainly have gone
to the city hospital. Johnson was plainly
suffering from excessive drinking, and a liz
tie medical treatment would have put him
| in shape instead of forcing him as a charge
upon the county. He should never have been

! Kurtz is possibly out of his mind, but
tbelieve his condition to be due to some ply

suffering from typhoid fever. 1t would be a
serious matter for the county if such a man
should die in the Jail for lack of proper at
tendance. The city hospital is the place for
him. Neither man was violent, and both

tuition intended for just such cases.

county So for physicians services in each

ONLY A POSTAL CARD

All That's Needed to Get Name ON
Garbage Collection List.
Z The new system Of garbage collection
by the health department has been in
operation for more than two months now,
and there are yet many who either do not
know this fact or do not underst and that
the cost of collection is paid out of the
health departments appropriation and
does not fall in any way upon the indi-
vidua!.
To get on the list one has but to drop
card to the department stating his wish
and giving his address. The department
will then send circular describing the
kind of garbage can, and giving all the
other necessary directions for the guild
anca of the householder. The garbage
collector will do the rest. There is no
expense involved. either for the tenant
or owner.

A Handy Prisoner Did the Work to
the Exclusion of Local

had one of the prisoners at work repaint-

man, who is now putting the finishing
touches on his job, Is a master hand with

Phil Carlin, secretary of the Building

matter this afternoon. gave vent to wild
warWhoop, and Immediately took the trail
Of the county commissioners.
II thought we had seen the end Of that
sort Of thing In this county," he declared
emphatically, land I'm going to see some
of the commissioners right off and de-
mand an explanations If the county COM
missioners are in favor OF convict labor
with plenty of honest men of the Paint

to know about it; that's all. It's an out

The walls Of the Jail for distance of
about seven feet above the floor have

DEMURRERs SUSTAINED

In Minneapolis Fire and Marine In

Judge Elliott filed an order yesterday
sustaining all the demurrers to the COM
plant in the case of the Minneapolis Fire
Marine Insurance company against it's
several directors, some of them officials
and clerks at the, courthouse, whose
names appear on notes to the company.
The court holds that the complaint does
not state a cause Of action, and that the
notes were never commercial paper, and
consequently are not collectable. The
case is in such a position now that the
supreme court can readily pass upon all
the questions involved.
