EAST SIXTH STREET TO BE
PAVED WITH SANDSTONE
Board to Give Property Owners a
Hearing on Monday

Next Monday the board Of public
works will accord a hearing to prop
erty owners along East Sixth street
on the proposed paving OF that tlrcT-
oughfare from Rosabel street to Trout
Brook bridge. The street is about ten
blocks in extent.
According to an old estimate, the
cost of paving the street with sand
stone will be-about $4,000. Asphalt
was considered, but in view of the
fact that it is a section of street on
which there will be considerable team
ing there is some opposition to its use.
This is the second time an effort
has been made to pave the street. 1t
is now surfaced with cedar blocks, but
these have become badly worn, leav-
ing the street full of holes. The prin-
cipal agitation for the paving Of the
street is being made by the various
packing companies which have taken
UP Their quarters in that section of St.
Paul. Some of them are preparing to
extend their buildings, and they wanE
good street for their teams.
Aug. the board of public works
will give another hearing on the paw
ing of West Seventh street, from RAM
sey to Tuscarora. This time the ma
terial the majority of the property
owners desire will be selected and no
protests will be given any attention.

TWO complaints against Frank McGray,

dren under sixteen years of age to
work more than ten hours a day, bas-
ing the latter charge upon the testi-
mony of Joseph Roy, a lad eleven years
OF age, who has been employed at the
boom.
The complaints were made out in
the office of County Attorney Netha-
way. and warrants were placed in the
hands of Sheriff Smith. Ever since
the strike in Saltwater, couple of
months ago, the labor unions here have
been endeavoring to compel the boom
corporation to observe the child labor
laws.

WATER MAIN is TO BE
LAID ON HYDE STREET
Board of Water Commissioners De.
cides to Supply Long Felt
Want.

That part of the West side in the
vicinity Of Hyde street which suffered
disastrous fire several days ago sbe-.
cause of inadequate fire protection in
the shape Of water mains is to be sup
piled at once. 4~
Yesterday the board of water. com
missioners, taking cognizance of the
fact that Fillmore street, from Waba-
sha street to Hyde street, is to be,
graded by the Omaha railroad, ordered
main laid, though not without first
sending a request to the council ask
Ing that the order come from it and a
record made. Otherwise the main
could not be laid until the property
owners in sufficient numbers had petit
toned for it. "a
While recognizing the fact that this
district has not any more water mains
than it needs, the water board thinks
the statement that the district is not
equipped at all is a little overdrawn.
Regarding the story that several hum
tdred feet of hose had to be laid before
water could be thrown on the Villaume
box factory fire, the members of the
board say main exists on Indiana
avenue, in close proximity to the build
ing, and it is tapped by a number of
hydrantS.

RENTS TO BE RAISED
AGAIN IN SEPTEMBER
Increase of From IS to Is Per
Cent for Flats and Apart
ments.


The annual increase of rents for flats
and apartments is again due, and the
occupants of the same are even now
receiving notification of the fact. The
increases range all the way from Is to
70 per cent, and in some instances even
more
House owners lay the necessity of
TINS increase to the fact that they are
compelled to pay more for maintenance
and even taxes. The demand, they also
say, is now for the more modern apart
ments, and in order to satiate it thew
are compelled to make extensive re-
pairs and do much remodeling. In or
der to pay for this increased expense
they are compelled to ask for more
money.
A large number of houses and not a
few flat buildings have gone up this
year, but one real estate agent is re-
sponslble for the statement that the
Increase does not begin to meet the
demand. Flat buildings in the past
nave not been a paying investment
owing to their cost, and this has in a
manner retarded their construction.
and this landlord contends that much
OF the increase is due to this scarcity.
He says that the application for apart
ments and homes is increasing, and the
average owner is consequently in a DO
sltlon to ask more money. Nearly all
the increases in rent become effective

MURDERED BY FATHER
EDGAR c. BAKER, OF ST. PAUL,
KILLED AT HIS OHIO HOME
Was Visiting Parents to Recuperate
His Health-Father, While Intoxi-
Gated, Slabs Him With Knife-WeII
Known and Popular in This City
Cousin of Joseph Mounts.

Edgar c. Baker, a grocery clerk en-
ployed at Reynolds & Reynolds gro
Gerry store, was stabbed to death Tues
day evening by his father, Edward
Baker, at Morrow, Ohio. The young
man was on a visit to his old home,
seeking to recover his health. His
father, who is a farmer, took a load Of
wood to Morrow Tuesday morning, and
when he returned he was intoxicated.
lie had some words with his son and
stabbed him with penknife. The
boy died almost Immediately The
father was arrested and taken to the
Lebanon Jail.
Edgar Baker was a cousin Of Joseph
Mounts, private secretary to Chief of
Police O'Connor, and lived with his
uncle at 1870 Lincoln avenue for the
past year and a half. Tuesday even
ing Mr.. Mounts received a telegram
stating that Edgar Baker had died
about $50. The telegram contained
no particulars of the affair.
= When young Baker left st. Paul on
his vacation he was in a sfckIy condi-
ton, and the trip was taken in hopes
that his health would be restored.
When Mr. Mounts received the tele-
gram his natural inference was that
the young man had succumbed to dis
ease, and he did not learn of the trag-
edy until he read the press dispatches
yesterday.
Mr.. Mounts returned a few days ago
from a visit at Morrow, where he left
his eldest daughter, Hattie At that
time the family relations of the Bakers
was all that could be wished, and
young Baker was improving rapidly
and expected to return to ST. Paul
Aug. Is, with Miss Mounts. Baker was
twenty eight years old and a young
man of good character. He was a val

STREET CAR COMPANY
AGAINST HOUSE MOVERS
Refuses to Let Down Wires Without
Compensation, and Trouble Is
Threatened.

Licensed housemovers and the street
railway company have clashed, and the
differences have reached the stage that
the former threatens to tie up the
street car system in ST. Paul.
The whole trouble is over the re-
fusal of the company to let down any
more of it's feed wires to permit the
removal of buildings until it is reim-
bursed for it's trouble. Yesterday the
SO from one firm of house movers
before a wire would be touched. 1t was
paid under protest, after which the
city authorities were appealed to, but
as it was a private affair they could
do nothing except to advise that the
next time the firm had a house to
move to notify the company of the
fact, and if there was no response or
a refusal was made to pull the house
across the tracks and force the re-
moval of the wires.
Because of the numerous railroad
improvements being made on the West
side, the removal of frame dwelling
houses in that locality has been con-
siderable the past month, and in each
instance the street car company has
been compelled to lower its wires in
order to permit their uninterrupted
passage. This was generally done aft
u 1hC AIuIlSAl IiouI' when u dI1C Hau
ceased. Now the company says the
number is becoming so great that the
constant lowering of the wires is a
tax, and they don't propose to do any
more of it unless they are paid for
their trouble.
The profession of house mover in ST.
Paul is a licensed business, and is rec
ognized both by the charter and by
ordinances which have been created
for it's regulation. The city authori-
ties say the street railway company
is compelled to recognize the ordi-
nances of the city and has no other
alternative, but to lower it's wires when
there is reason for the same.

CRUET STAND HELPS
TO SETTLE A DISPUTE
Boarding House Ruction Results in
Three Fines of $40 Each in Po-
lice Court.

The customary post-prandiaI discus
sion of national topics at the Star
boarding house, on Payne avenue,
brought three of the participants into
the police court yesterday morning,
where they each deposited SO.
Ephriam Pearson, Oscar Walden and
John Carlson had some words. Ephriam
lacked the symmetrical precision of
statement possessed by the other two
and attempted to make up for this lack
in this respect by his quick delivery of
sides dishes, knives, forks and even the
time-honored and venerable cruet-
stand was brought into play. Walden
and Carlson made a concerted attack
on Pearson just as Officer Kelly enter
ed the dining room. The officer en-
countered a hash platter which demol-
ished his helmet. Walden and Carlson
were convicted of assault and battery,
and Pearson of disorderly conduct.
