PARDON BOARD TODAY
FATE OF YOUNGER BOYS WILL. BE
SETTLED.

The state board of pardons will hold Il
meeting in the office of the governor this
morning. The most important business Is
the application of the Younger brothers
for a complete pardon, and that of An
drew Taper, the Carver county murder
er. for a communication of his sentence
from death to life Imprisonment. Tap
per has no formal application in.
Another case of some interest is that
of Walter c. Warren, of Lincoln county,
who was sentenced for seven years, in
1900, on the charge of having killed a
hired man. Considerable doubt has arisen
since as to Warren's guilt. Evidence has
been developed showing that Warren was
attacked in his own house, and compelled
to defend himself
Fred A. Briggs, the Minneapolis slot
machine man. has renewed his applica-
ton for padron from the Minneapolis
workhouse. where he is serving a six
month sentence.
Three new applications We're filed to-
day. The are: John Kan, sentenced, Nov.

The directors Of the church have de-

been settled upon. The location of tha

items yet remain for the COMMITTEES to

The industrial school, which was one

Will not be continued, as it IS not con-
sldered worth while to secure new appa-

weeks of the term. All the apparatus
was destroyed in the fire. 1t is expected
tnat the church will be ready for occu-
pancy next fall at which time the reeu-
lar term Of industrial work opens. and If
will then be continued.
There has been no expert opinion on
the stability of the walls of the ruined
church, and until this has been decided
the location OF the new church will be
unknown. If the walls can be utilized
the church will be rebuilt where it stood
but otherwise a new site will be sought
1t is estimated that the church proposed
will cost in the neighborhood of SIS, 900.

RICHARDSON'S HOT RESOLUTIONS

WASHINGTON, Jan 31.-The house
today prepared to defend itself against
what it considers the threatened invasion
by the senate of its prerogative in the
matter of revenue legisla ton by direct
ing the ways and means committee to in
vestigate the subject and report to the
house its conclusions. The action of
the house was the outgrowth of the agi-
tation in the senate of the claim that
reciprocity treaties affecting the customs
revenue can be negotiated without the
concurrence Of the house
Mr.. Richardson, the minority leader,
sought to have the house adopt declara-
ton on the subject today without Ea3$ing
for the senate to commit an overt act but
the majority leaders We're opposed to
hasty action and his resolution was re-
ferrcd to the ways and means commit

CITY MAY TAKE HOLD
THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT PRO-
POSES TO DO ALL SAM
TATION WORK
DR., oHAGEs PLAIN TALK
Says UnscrupuIOus Practices Are
Not Unknown Under Present
System-Asks for Larger
Appropriation.

The st. Paul sanitation trust is in dan
ger of being wiped out of existence. If
the charter commission is agreeable to
the extent Of permitting all city depart
ments to retain the revenue they accu-
mulate, the trust will be absorbed by the
health department Men and wagons will
be added, and the work now done by out
side firms will be performed by the city
and reasonable price charged.
The so-ealled sanitation trust and it's
methods furnished considerable discus
sion at the session of the charter COM
mission last night, and DR.. Ohage, who
was present, was pressed for answers to
the questions put.
Il don't like to say it," said Dr. Ohage
'bUt some of these sanitation companies
have been the bane of the departments s
existence. Before I came into the Of
flee the corruptirg of the city sanitation
inspectors was a common practice, and
even in my time it has been done. In
order to protect the city L was compelled
to let out several Of the men. The price
paid by the trust for reporting a vault
is from rs cents to so cents, and if the
inspector is an enterprising individual he
can make quite a piece of money on the
side. The courts have held that can
not refuse a sanitation agent a permit
but that I must appeal to the council
I think he is acting fraudulently The
whole thing is a farce. If I was fixed
SO that l could hire men and teams to
do the work, / think / could save prop
efty owners $4,000 a year, and at the
same time bring revenue into the city"
This scheme of running a scavenger's 8
department, the doctor says, can only
be done in the event that the commission
sees fit to draft an amendment permit
ting his department to have the use Of
money 1t earns. AS it is now, all mon
eys received over and above the set ap-
preparation revert to the, general fund
isn't there a fixed rate set by law
that may be charged by these compa-
nies?' was asked by one of the members.
There is, answered Dr. Ohage but
l am afraid some Of them are like the
gas company. The outside of the house
determines the style of the meter that
shall be installed. If the outside looks
all right it is a Nancy Hanks meter, and
II not, 1T is slow one. L think I've
got Nancy Hanks meter in my house" &"
In explanation DR.. Ohage Informed the
commission that he did not want to say
that all the sanitation companies INDUCED
IN the habit of corrupting or attempting
TO corrupt his inspectors, but there were
a number of them that did it, and they
were not backward in telling him So
Ihe members seemed to be greatly
taken with the scheme of the department
doing the work, and it Is thought that
DR.. Ohage's desires will be acceded to.
Dr. Ohage also asked for an amend
ment permitting him to increase the sal
ary of his first assistant from 1920 to
Sl,SO0, and that his annual appropria-
ton be raised from $4,000 to SIS, 900. An
other request made was the divorcing
the garbage department from the engi-
neering department.

was due to old age Mis-. Murphy being
seventy-f1ve years old.
Mrs. Murphy was one of Minnesota 5

EMPIRES SERIOUS PROBLEM
Indication That States Income Has
Reached the Maximum, While
Expenses Increase Per
ceptibIy.

Correspondence OF the Associated Press.
ST. PETERSBURG, Friday, Jan. H.
In Finland the police, up to the present.
have escaped complete classification. This
action is now proposed for Helsingfors at
least, where the ST. Petersburg system
is to be transpIanted The police will be
Independent Of the local authorities,
there will be a department of political
police, a police address book, to include
every house, will be introduced, and
dvorniks, the most characteristic feature
of city life in Russia, will be instituted.
The dyorniks, though paid by the house
holders are the lowest order of police.
They are bound to report all arrivals and
departures, keep the regular police in
formed of all that happens in each house,
and assist in maintaining order, making
arrests, etc.
Press comment on the budget is not
exactly rosy-hued this year. The Rus
siya thinks the Russian public would feel
more req sSured if it was exactly known
what the finance minister meant by the
empires free cash. from which it was
necessary to take 144,0OO,O0O roubles in
order to make the expenses and the
anticipated income balance in 1902. But
some comfort was felt that this sum was
not announced as deficit as might have
been the case in some countries.
The Russky Viedomosti observes that
the estimated expenses for 1902 have
grown more, as compared with those of
1901, than the estimated income. The
average annual increase in the income
for ten years has been per cent; in
1902 it is calculated at only 4 per cent.
The increase in annual expenses has been
on an average per cent; for 1902 it is
estimated at per cent.
The calculated income for 1902 is about
the same as the actual income for 1901.
While the finance minister has often been
reproached with undue caution in cal
culating expected income. the Russky
Viedmostiz thinks the calculation this year
is correct. The check in the increase of
the states income is attributed. to the
famine and financial depression. This
paper raises the serious question:
HAS the states income attained the
maximum possible without opening new
sources?"
In other words, the paper regards the
progressive income tax as in plain view.
1t is noted as a good feature that the
war budget, which had Increased stead
lily for the last ten years, shows a
diminution of nearly 100000 roubles This
budget, like that of 1901, srefrained from
announcing how much Z the Chinese

say it myself, the city of st. Paul has
the best system of accounting of any
city in the United States,' said Comptrol-
Ter ]. J. McCardy before the charter
commission last night. Experts say so,
and the fact has been made the basis of
numerous complimentary articles in
financial papers and magazines" Mr.. Me-
Cardy was asking for, several reforms in
his office, and the principal ones was an
increase of $500 in the amount allowed
him for, clerical hire and the abolishing
of the daily reports, a charter require
ment and one that City Treasurer
Bremen insisted on him osberving. ''Why.
these daily reports and the comptroller
unfolded one that covered several square
yards of space ''are the most absurd
things l ever saw. Two hours of val
liable time are used every day in telling
the treasurer what he already knows.
The whole thing is nonsenslcal." AS far
as clerks were concerned, Mr.. McCardy
