Certificates Without Inspection.

Evidence Bearing ON Inspection Be.
ing Prepared for the
Grand Jury.

Though condemned by the medical pro-
fession, bv those who represent the Or
ganized moral forces OF the city and by
the sporting element, the medical in
spection system instituted by DR.. Ames
in the red light district is still in force.
Two instances have been reported lately
where certificates were issued to women
without inspection. The fees were paid
by the keepers of the houses. These
cases were reported from different dis
tricts and seem to bear out the charge
that the mayor bad revived discredited
system merely for the sake of the reve-
nue..
The two physician inspectors are said
to be themselves much Disguised with
the work and DR.. E. ]. Clark is said to
have declared his intention to discontinue
it. 1t was expected that the subject
would be called up at this afternoons
meeting of the board of corrections and
charities The member who has been
most outspoken against the mayors plan
of using assistant city physicians for this
purpose was absent at the last meeting of
the board and the matter was not
preached.
The grand jury, which convenes again
next week, is also pretty sure to take
cognizance Of the matter. Certain citi-
zens are now preparing to present the
facts to the grand jury, and attorneys
agree that there is foundation there for
an indictment against some one.

promoter OF good roads, will be in the
lWin cities IN week or two on a pre-

OF the railways. If they will cooperate
with the government in the matter of fur

concessions in hauling it, the train is
practically assured, but Colonel Moore in
letter to George w. Cooley, president of
the state good roads association, an

the commercial bodies and officials to in

proper influence to bear on the railways

refusal on the part of the railways pene-

A BANKING CENTER
The Bank of Commerce Purchase
Makes It Permanent.
THE BUILDING TO BE REMoDELED
Two Stories May BE Added and
Banking Rooms Will He
Enlarged.

The purchase of the Bank Of Commerce
building by the National Bank OF Com
merce insures the permanency of the
banking center about Fourth street and
First avenue s. After the Northwestern
National bank had determined to lease the
adjoining property it was a foregone con-
clusion that the Bank of Commerce would
buy back the building which 1t erected in
1888. The fact that the Northwestern
bank will erect a low building and that
the Farmers & Mechanics bank in the
rear Is also a low structure, insures per-
manent good light for the Bank of Com
merce building. This had much to do in
influencing the directors yesterday to
vote favorably on the purchase.
Late in the day the papers closing the
deal for the land and building were
signed. The sum to be paid is $275,OoO,
allowing ]. " McHugh about $4,000 for
his option. The Northwestern bank had
an option on the corner, but finding the
other bank had a lease renewable at It's
expiration, July /. dropped the matter.
Plans for the future of the structure
are in incomplete form. Harry w. Jones,
the architect of the building, provided
a foundation to support eight stories, and
it is probable the remaining two will be
added. The banking room will be en-
larged considerably. 1t will be entirely
remodeled. The fixtures, furniture and
vaults will be replaced with the latest in
design and utility. 1t has been decided
to put in a ladies' department. The
rooms for the officers and directors will
be complete and handsome.
The changes may not be completed for
year until the officers know just what
they want, but the general idea is as
stated above.
The National Bank Of Commerce has a
capital of $1,0o0,0O0 and surplus and profits
of $250,O00. The deposits have increased
so rapidly that what was considered a
large banking room two years ago is
now utterly inadequate. The December
statement of 1900 showed deposits Of
$2,900,O00, which were Increased to $780,
900 in the report Of December. 1901.

The costumes arrived from Harvard the
first Of the week. The first partial dress
rehearsal was held last evening when the
dramatic corps went through the three
acts at Holcomb's hall. The dancing
girls were in full costume and between
the acts the young men who have thus
nobly arisen to the occasion were the
centers of an admiring male constituency.
This applies particularly to Frank
Lane. as Sylvia, and rosy checked Harry
Stewart, as Nodo Woodmarry Almost
unconsciously, perhaps. these light footed
young men have acquired all the dainty
graces Of femininity, and they NOW wide
swaths in the fields of masculine ssuscepti-
bility.
There is no denying that Billy Morse,
in the stern role Of Left Ericsson, has
already quite lost his heart to Sylvia, the
sweet young creature who also loves and
does pronounce it faithfully"
The other members of the sextet,
headed by miss" Stewart, who look very
fetching in girls garb. are Walter Win
slow, William Sawyer, F. Bausman, L.. A.
Laramie and Dan Whittlesy.
In this connection, it may be we'll to
sound note of cheer to the young men
who have nauaht to do but act their own
sweet selves during the performance to
the effect that none of the girls" are
married. 1t may also be added that
Messrs. Strong. Gale and Dyer are mar
ried men, and no trifsing goes with them
under any imaginable stress OF circum-
stances. Nick Northway, who contrib
utes side-splitting act as policeman,
is there also to prevent the alienation of
the affections or any whose affections are
supposed to be anchored.

A BOOMERANG JOKE
How One Merry Greek aLiftedv
Frater's Watch.
HUEAND CRY; WATERS SEARCHED
Then the Joker Had to Produce and
Also Salve the Walters
Feelings.

At certain Greek Letter fraternity ban
quet the other evening an April fool joke
recoiled on the Joker. in a peculiar way,
involving also rather unpleasantly all the
other banqueters who were not next
When the Greeks came into the club
rooms where the spread took place, a
young insurance man, not long out of the
university, managed to extract a watch
from the pocket OF an unsuspecting sopho-
more whom he knew very we'll. He pic
tured to himself the CONSERVATION that
would seize upon the sophomore when the
loss was discovered and the consequent
merriment that would ensue when the
alarm was raised and after due pause for
effect he restored the timepiece.
But, alas, things did not go as the
joker had planned. The youth did dis
cover his loss, but with rare presence of
mind and thoughtfulness decided not to
interrupt the flow Of good Fellowship by
a public announcement Of the matter. He
Went privately to the toastmaster and re-
ported. He added that he was pretty Ger
tain one of the walters had taken the
watch and demanded that they be
searched The postmaster after consul
tation with the steward telephoned to
police headquarters and three plain
clothes men came to make the search. All
this time the banquet was waiting. Sew
queters who were not in the secret could
not understand the unusual delay.
The search, however, failed to disclose
the missing watch on the person Of any
OF the walters. Nor did thorough search
Of the kitchen reveal it. The honor OF
the house being thus yindicated, the
steward demanded that the banqueters
themselves be searched This was little
more than the postmaster had bargained
for, but he saw no good reason against
it, and so. returning to the table, he laid
the affair before his brethren and an
nounced that all present would be
searched.
This was the ioker's cue With a good
deal of embarrassment he explained the
joke, produced the watch put up bunch
OF money to soothe the wounded feelings
OF the walters, and threw himself on the
mercy of those present. After a good
deal of banter at the expense of the joker,
1T was agreed to suppress the affair and
all present pledged themselves not to re-
peat the story. But it got out somehow
and the Greeks in question have had to
stand good deal of chatting from those
who heard of the affair

While Judge Elliott granted some OF the
requests made by Former Sheriff Alonzo
Phillips, that the county make its COM
plant more specific, the requests in which
he was most interested were not allowed.
The details as to the various items on
which the county IS attempting to recover
are found in his own bills and the in
formation he sought could doubtless have
been secured without formal order from
the court
What he really wanted was that each
monthly bill should be pleaded as a sep

Mr. Phillips also wanted the county to
state when he received the money for the
various overcharges, but in this he was
also disappointed. 5%}
