ASSEMBLYMEN FAIL
TO ATTEND MEETING
Hearing on Municipal Lighting Bids
Has to Be Post
pOned.

In anticipation of a hearing on the
gasoline street lighting bids, a number
of those interested gathered at the city
hall yesterday afternoon, but they were
disappointed The matter was in the
hands Of the committee on streets, but
there was no quorum.
Some speculation was INDUCED in as to
the identity of the Municipal Lighting
company, one of the low bidders. No one
knows who the company's representative
is, and so far no one has come forward
to enlighten the council as to it's fnan-
cial ability. The lamp on display is a
square affair, and therefore contrary to
the specifications, which demand a cylin-
drical lantern. The Cleveland Vapor
Lighting company, which is the lowest
bidder, anticipates little trouble in being
awarded the contract. Another meeting
Of the committee will be called for this
week

The Park Board Deyises a
Scheme to Retain Its
Receipts
PLAN is NOT ILLEGAL
Beard Will Derive Benefit From
Revenues Which in the Past
Went to the General
Fund.

The question of receipts from municipal
ventures and the inability of the several
city departments TO retain them for their
own use, has been a thorn in the flesh
ever since the new charter went into eff
feet and demanded that all such moneys
should revert to the general fund, but
the board of park commissioners thinks
it has solved the difficulty.
Hereafter the board instead of con-
Quoting its own ventures, will farm out
all concessions, and in lieu of a lump
cash sum will receive in return either its
equivalent in labor or some improvement
that has been decided upon. This will
keep the boards funds intact and allow
their use for improvements, which in the
past it has been unable to make.
For the past five years this method has
existed between the board and the street
car company, and, as a result Como park
is the richer by numerous electric lights
and several needed buildings. Practically
the only source of revenue the board con-
trolls, and that indirectly for all the re-
ceipts revert to the general fund, is the
boating privileges, but at the regular
meeting last night the superintendent
was instructed to farm privileges out to
the best interests of the board The
profits accruing from these privileges last
year was over $1,000.
May Apply Plan to PhaIen.
This solution of the receipts problem
may yet be extended to Phalen park, the
Improvement of which has been long de-
layed because the park boards funds
would not permit it. The board had
hoped to stock the grounds with various
catch pennies. such as now exist at
Wildwood, and use the profits accruing
in keeping up the park and supplying
other needed couveniences. The charter,
however, forbade it, but the new scheme
adopted may see the hopes of the board
carried into effect at an early date. The
legal department has been consulted and
says the new arrangement is perfectly
proper and regular.
Another departure effected by this iron
clad provision of the charter is the health
department, and if the scheme proves
profitable Health Commissioner Ohage
may find it convenient to bring about
several reforms that he has long con-
templated, but which have been denied
him because of lack of money.

WAVE OF DAMPNESS
ON IT'S WAY HERE
Yesterday Was SuItry, and Today
May See 1t Even
Warmer.

Yesterday was one Of the warmest days
this city has ever experienced in the
month of April according to the records
of the weather bureau. Early in the
day the official thermometer showed Ga
degrees above zero, and before noon had
reached 20 degrees, from which it grad,
ually receded. In marked contrast to
that was the experience of the Dakotas.
where, in the central section, it was re-
ported to be showing at noon. There was
a cool rain in the Red River valley.
South Dakota is, however, suffering
for rain as much as Minnesota, with no
immediate prospect Of relief.
The predictions are that there will be
no rain in Minnesota for another twenty
four hours The temperature, it is stated,
will be a little warmer today.
At Omaha yesterday a temperature of
% degrees was reached, that being the
warmest April weather that city has
had for fifteen years.

ARITHMETIC COMES HARD.
Board of Control at Loss How TO
Divide Cost.

The county board of control is appar-
emily somewhat confused regarding the
amounts which the city and county shall
each pay toward the new contagion ward
at the city hospital.
The board started in, it is alleged, to
make the division exactly contrary to the
statutes governing the case. The stat
utes provide that the county shall bear
two-thirds of the cost, While the. city
shall stand the other third, but it is al
legged that the board reversed things, let
ting the county off with one-third and
assessing the city two-thirds of the cost.
The matter reached a climax yesterday,
when the contract was before the board
of county commissioners for acceptance,
and was tabled for lack of funds.
Members of the board OF control claim
that they knew that the law made pro-
vision for the division, and that they

BARRIERS APPEAL
FOR SHORTER HOURS
The Threatened Injunction VIII Not
Have Any Effect on Their Pro-
posed Proceedings.

The BARRIERS union has had more or
less trouble in its endeavors to have
all barber shops closed at o'clock, and
the difficulty arises principally within
the order. The union has issued cards as
follows: BARRIERS Appeal for Short
Hours-Do not patronize barber shops
that are open after Z o'clock p. m. ex-
cept Saturdays" This card seems rea-
sonable, but there are those who object,
and the most strenuous DIRECTORS are
krumick Bros, who thoroughly oppose
the proposition, and yesterday there was
a threatene injunction against the union.
Such action will have no effect upon the
union men, as they know they are right
IL their contention, and will continue to
distribute the cards.

WARM TIME IN EIGHTH
CANDIDATES FOR PAGE NORRIS
SEAT BECOMING NUMEROUS
j. d. Cotton Likely to Jump in the
Camel. Adam Bede, After Sixin :;
Up the Situation, Says He Is Su-
premeIy Confident.

Practically the only political talk about
the state house now is the retirement OF
Judge Morris from the Eighth district
congressional race and the fight for tho
successorship. Senator McCarthy's dec
laratiOn of intentions created no little
discussion and the general opinion was
that he would be formidable candidate.
The wise ones do not believe that Mayor
Hugo has a license to cut in, or that
Senator Daugherty or o. D. Kinney car
capture the plum. Two new names have
been added to the list of possible candi-
dates, Joseph b. Cotton and Dr. John j
Eklund. Several Duluthians in ST Paul
yesterday ventured the opinion that Mr.
Cotton would never be able to resist the
temptation to cut loose. He is one OF
the best known lawyers in Northern Min
nesota and up to a few years ago was
unusually prominent in Republican poll
TICS. He is famed far and wide as a silver
tongued orator A well known Duluth
Republican, in speaking of Cotton
chances said:

Hawkins VIII Stay Out.
Senator E. B. Hawkins yesterday gave
a positive denial to the rumors that he
would enter the fight He says he has
no aspirations in that direction, and mas

r. c. Mitchell, of Duluth, views the
situation thus:
Of course the leading and most prom
lnent candidate is our quasi fellow towns
man, j. Adam Bede, and there can be no
doubt but that the declining of Judge
Morris has greatly improved his chances.
Mr.. Bede is not, of course the most
profound man in the country-he does NOT
pretend to be-but is a man of credita HE
