WHAT GOVERNOR WILL SAY

Tax Measure OnIy--several
Members Express
Themselves.

1nree things seem to be assured re-
sdfolhg the extra session Gov Van
SAINT viii make no recommendations in
ms message to the legislature save con-
SHERATON of the tax measure: the SEN
tlment OF the great majority of members
Is IN favor OF a short session, and the
sentiment of the Republican lay members
is against caucus. It is also apparent
Iy certain that the majority of the r.,enn
pers VIII oppose the reduction OF the
amount of exemption from 500 to S25:
that they will oppose the introduction az
any general legislation, and that The Du-
luth contingent will attempt to have
tnat clause relating to the taxation of
vessels amended, for reasons enunler9t-
ed in another column Of h e Globe.
Senators Miller, Potter, Mccarthy
Gr1ndeland, jones, Sivright, Smith. HaW-
k1ns and others have gone on record as
fayoring short session, and feeling
sure that the session would be very
brief They all seem to favor passing
the tax law practically without change.
GOV. Van SAINT has been overwhelmed
with petitions to recommend this and
that in his message, but is determined
to adhere to his original belief, and men
ton nothing but the tax measure
Senator w. w. Slvright of Hutcnin-
son, called on the governor yesterday
and told him that he was opposed to the
luCd o. nothing caucus TO agree On the
length Of time the session should sit
He was also in favor Of combining the
session wholly to the consideration OF
the tax law.
ITO do all that is needed will not take
more than thirty days." he says.
Senator c. C. Mccarthy, of Itasca coun-
ty, was also at the capitol yesterday.
He said: ST have not finished the read
ing of the tax bill yet, but so far as l
have gone l consider it a dandy. We
will get together on Feb. and caucus,
of course We will have to do that to
get together. We have an Intelligent
Democratic minority, which will COOP
crate with us. We will pass the tax
bill in ten or fifteen days, finish up our
business in twenty days, and adjourn in
q blaze Of glory
Senator E. B. Hawkins says the session
will last thirty days and no more. We
are not going to take UP anything out
side the report of the tax commission,
il we can help it,
Representative Alvord expects the ses-
sion to last about three weeks, or posi-
NV four but nc longer. He is inclined
to think that the tax bill will pass as
a whole, largely as proposed by the
commission, or be defeated He thinks
that If extended or numerous amend
ments are sought, the opposition aroused
by many diverse interests Will be too
strong to be paciiled

CANNOT OPEN MARCH |
so SAYS DIRECTOR PHELPS CON-
CORNING DULUTH NORMAL
Time Too Short to Properly Equip
Building and Advertise for
Students-Wil1 Begin in
September.

Prof. William f. Phelps, resident direc-
tor for Duluth on the State Normal
board, says that the Duluth normal
school cannot be opened on March 1. The
normal board at it's last meeting adopted
a resolution favoring the opening Of the
school on that date. providing the board
of control approved. The board of con-
troll has not as yet taken the matter up,
as it wants to get the Duluth normal
school financial matters all cleared up
first. Director Phelps also believes that
the scheme to run the school through the
summer months will not materialiZe, and
does not expect to see the school opened
before Sept l. when the other schools
open. He is glad that it is so. 1--WE
will be in better shape to begin them
SAYS he, 'and we will start out with a
much better attendance than we could
hope to have at this time. Professor
President Bohannon fully agrees with me
that it would not be best to begin the
school March 1, under all the attending
circumstances. Furthermore, it will be
impossible to begin March 1, however de-
sirable that may be. 1t will require
three months at least to get the building
equipped properly. If it were decided
to begin March 1 President Bohannon
would have to rush East to supervise
the purchase of apparatus and equip
nent and would have to do it hurriedly.
The school would be but half finished,
and it would be impossible to attract stu
dents to it in its uncempleted condition.
If it begins when the other schools be-
gin, we will have ample opportunity to
properly equip it, improve the grounds,
and advertise it extensively. 1t will
give President Bohannon ample oppor-
tunity to arrange his work in a sys-
tematic manner, as he could not do if
the school opened UP with mere hand
full Of students.
eve are preparing now to turn the
Duluth normal school over to the board
of control For this purpose we are
getting up a statement showing all mat
tiers relating thereto, back to the very
beginning
President Bohannon is drawing a regu-
lar salary just the same as if he were
at work. He was elected last June,
when it was hoped to open the school in
September for the years work. This
has been one of the reasons why the
board has been DESTROYS of getting the
school started President Bohannon has
also been anxious to begin work. Within
a week or so tho board of control will
announce that it cannot possibly arrange
to open the school on March l. Since
the meeting Of the normal board the
members who voted for the March
opening have undergone a change Of
opinion, and If they were to meet today
they would be unanimously against the
proposition.

RED WING CASE HEARING
BOARD OF CONTROL SETS 1T FOR
FRIDAY.

Investigation of the Red Wing training
school will begin Friday at a. m, at the
offices of the board of control in St.
Paul.
The intention is to make a thorough
investigation of all stories bearing any
semblance of truth. After examining
such witnesses as appear at st. Paul. the
inquiry will be adjourned to Red Wing,
and evidence will be taken among en-
ployes and inmates of the institution.
Members of the board of control say
that the sessions will be executive on ac-
count of the probable character of the
evidence. The results will be given out
for publication at the close. They do not
believe it would be just to the officials
of this institution to give every thing OUT,
as statements may be made by ire
sponsible witnesses which will be speed
lily disproved, and ought not to be given
circulation. Most Of the letters received
have been anonymous, and the board OF
control is anxious for the writers of
these communications to present them
selves.
Supt. Brown has been anxious for the
investigation. and will probably attend
all of the sessions.

TESTS TO Be MADE
RAPID TRANSIT COMPANY OFF.
GALS PROMISE TO LOOK INTO
ELECTROLYsIs PROBLEM
NO REDRESS IS OFFERED
Held and Dow Smith Appear Before
Water Board, but Do Not
Commit the Com
pany.

General Manager Held, Of the Twin
City Rapid Transit company. is OF teha
opinion that his company is not en-.
trely to blame for the presence of
electrolysis which the water board nolds
has been and is detrimental TO It's wa
general. - :.
At meeting of the water board yes
terday, called to discuss the question
OF electrolysls, and measures for its pre-
Vention, Supt. Held made a statement
to this effect, and said that when. the
question was fully inquired into he was
confident other dealers in electricity
would be found more or less RESPONSE
BILE for the damage that is claimed to
have resulted.
No attempt was made to combat Mr..
T1ield's theory, the members simply hold
ing that they had ordered "a thorough
examination, and the street railway COM
pany was found to be at fault While
the securing Of damages for pipes ruined
was something Of considerable impor-
lance, the members refused to dfvulge
what course. they would take. They
were, however, agreed on the point that
a preventive would have to be used
by the street car company, or the courts
would be appealed to for an. injunction.
This was the vital question just now.
In this determination they We're en-
couraSed by legal advice from Corpora
ton Attorney Markham and Attorney
d. w. Lawler, both of whom were pres
ent. Mr.. LAWYER has interested himself
in the matter, and proffered the board
his advice as a. city official.
While refusing to waive any of their
rights in the controversy, the board, at
the request Of Messrs Held and Dow
Smith, postponed any action until March
10, when another conference will be held
with the street car officials. In the mean
time the company promises to make an
investigation and secure readings to the
end of ascertaining if the statement that
their lines are leaking is true. 7
Several Of the members attempted to
pin Mr. Held down to the statement
if it was not true that his men had al
ready taken readings, but he entered
denial If any readings were made, he
said, they were simply for the purpose
Of testing the efficiency Of the electric
circuits.
Because Of the difficulty in ascertain
ing the actual amount Of damage sus-
tanned by the system, it is hardly prob
able that an attempt will be made to
collect any. but the board is fully 0e~
termined to have the evil corrected, and
an enjoining order will in all probability
be secured if the street car company
does not act promptly.
Measures attempted for the obviating
of the trouble will cost the street car
company a large sum of money, and
this the directors desire held off as long
as possible.

PARK BOARD FIRM.
CONDEMNATION OFT WEST SIDE
LOTS FOR PARK PURPOSES

WEST sIDERs RAISE PROTEST
DR.. Ohage Succeeds in Inducing
Board to Remain Steadfast-
No Objection to Spur

While not opposing the placing OF a
single spur track that will serve the fac
tories west Of the Wabasha street bridge
and adjacent to the public baths. with
switching facilities, the board of park
commissioners will not retreat from it's
intention to condemn the strip of ground
west Of the bridge for park purposes.
Three OF the five members so informed

night, and it is understood that the 9TH

Last nights meeting of the board was

matter settled for all time.

tlon to the entire scheme of condemna-

In the argument which ensued, DR..
Ohage sharply upraided the opposition,
which he intimated was imbued with
mercenary motives. he was agreeable
to the alley beinG left out, but desired
the remainder Of the strip condemned.
This the beard was in sympathy with,
and so Informed the members of the
delegation. In case the spur was laid
in the alley, they were told that it would
have to be protected with a fence. Other
schemes of constructing an approach
were talked of, but they did not meet
the views of the beard, owing to the
cost involved. A bridge would call for
an expenditure of 100000, it was claimed.

MOTORMAN LOSESANE EYE
FIGHT WITH DRUNKEN SOLDIERS
NEAR FORT SMELLING ENDS
DISASTROUSLY
Edward ID. Welsh Struck Over Eye
With whisky bottle, Necessi-
tating Removal of
the Organ.

u d. Welsh, a motorman in the
employ of the city railway company, is
at ST. Josephs hospital in a critical
condition from injuries received in a
fight with two. drunken soldiers at the
Fort Smelling end of the Seventh street
line early this morning.
Welsh was running the first car to
Fort Smelling yesterday morning, and
eight soldiers, who had missed the last
car at night got on at Seventh and
Wabasha to return to the fort. Two of
the eight went to sleep on the way out,
and when the end Of the line was reach
ed their companions were unable to
awaken them and left them on the car.
Conductor Nelson could not arouse them
from their drunken slumbers and called
in Mctorman Welsh to help him. Welsh,
who is a large man, took one of the
soldiers by the arm and shook him until
he was awake. He quietly left the car.
The other man did not awaken So easily,
but finally he was sufficiently aroused to
be taken off the car. Welsh led him to
the door and stepped down to help him
alight Suddenly without any warning,
the soldier struck him a blow across the
forehead with a WHISKY bottle and knock
cd him down. The two soldiers and the
motorrnan then became involved in a
free fight, and things seemed to be in
favor of the soldiers, until the conductor
took. part in the fray and succeeded
in stopping the fight.
The blow which Welsh received on the
forehead cut a cash two inches long and
quite deep. The bottle broke from the
force of the blow and pieces of the brok-
en- glass cut the ball of the left eye
in such a way as to make it necessary for
DR.. Chamberlain to remove the organ.
He was taken to st. Joseph's hospital.
where his injuries were carefully dressed.
The soldiers were placed in the guard
house at the fort and the police notified
that they would be surrendered if want
warrants against them, and Conductor
Nelson went to the fort to identify them.
Their names. are given as Privates Dew
hurst and Pau1ley, of Company f, Four

TO ASK FOR PLEDGES
LINCOLN CLUB WOULD BIND CANDT-
DATES TO ADVOCATE THREE
CENT FARES
ONLY TWO MEMBERS DISSENT

pTbIicans Wax Merry ut
o. Their Attitude.

The Lincoln fgclub last night, at one
or the most largely attended meetings
held by sthat body in several months,
ADOPTED the 3+cent fare resolution by a
vote that was almost unanimous This
resolution. which has already been print
ed in full, provides that the Republican
candidates. for the office of mayor and
for seats in the city council shall be
requested to pledge themselves to in
vestigate the feasibility of a Scent fare
on the city railway lines and to take
such steps as may lie in their power to
effect the reduction in fares, if it appears
to them to be reasonable.
The discussion which preceded the vote
upon this resolution lasted nearly an
hour, although numerically the oppoSi-
ton to it was small. The most vigorous
opponent of the measure. was Aid. 3. F.
Knauft, who in the course of the dis
cussion said that he had never seen q
political platform which amounted to
anything if regarded seriously, and that
his experience had taught him that a
political platform was chiefly composed
of political buncombe Aid Knauft by
his attitude of objection to the measure,
drew forth some caustic comment from
his fellow members Of the club as to
his championship of the interests OF the
street railway company.
The only other member Of the club who
raised his voice in objection to the reso-
luton was former Alderman Timothy
Reardon, whose remarks provoked the
friends of the resolution to much good
ratured but pointed witticism at his ex-
pense, which was heartily enjoyed by
the members generally.
Arrangements for the annual banquet
of the club, to be held at the Windsor
hotel on Lincoln's birthday, Feb, H. We're
discussed in a general way. 1t was de-
cided that the principal speaker of that
occasion shall be Hiram F. Stevens
