The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1902-04-25

Charles Tegner, the bookkeeper dis-
charged from the state asylum at ST.
Peter with Steward Rogers, has given out
statement of his position in the agita-
ton. This is the first time Mr.. Tegner
has had anything to say concerning the
matter, Mr.. Rogers having heretofore
given out their side of the case Mr.
Tegner says:
''The statements that appeared in the
different neWSpap ers of last week that
Tegner takes all the blame sounds as if
someone is trying to crawl out Of the
small end of the horn. 1t is true that
Tegner kept all the books Of the St Peter
state hospital and made all the entries
therein. The only book in question is the
StoI ekeeper'S record, which was of very
little importance The financial, or the
general book where dollars and cents
were involved, were right to a cent, which
the board of control admits. In regard to
the storekeeper's record, that book is
only record of goods and supplies re
ceiVed and diSbursed to the different de-
partments Of the hospital after being
bought and accounted for on the finan-
cial books. There is no man living that
could keep that book and make it come
out right. Every article bought had to
have a separate account on that book,
and every article had to have a num-
Der. Suppose the StOrekeeper buys crab
apples or any other product, from TWEEN
ty-five people. he would have to have
twenty-five separate bins to empty those
apples in in order that he could issue
them out in the right number, quantity
and price.
System Was Complex.
Or for another illustration. suppose the
head cf a family bought a bill of groceries
and would compel his cook to come to
him and have him sign a requisitiOn for
every ounce she took from the different
articles Of supplies and expect to come
out so that the two sides of the account
would balance. Then just think of an in
stiJution or family like the ST Peter
state hospital. where you have a mix
ture of everything made or grown under
the sun, and employing Sixteen-year-Old
boy, which is a fact. and expect him to
issue those goods and report to the book
Keeper. II would require an expert in all
lines Of business to know the terms and
names of all the articles used in such an
institution. AS to the steward or the
stOrekeeper's responsibilities and duties
it was for him to know. There were
written Instructions for him as well as
the boOkkeeper. All the institutions have
had more or less trouble with their store
books. Mr.. Wright, secretary Of the
board of control, went to Rochester and
attempted to check up their stores, but
could find neither head nor tail to the
thing and went home in disgust sending
Mr.. Hayes, the bookkeeper of the board
to straighten them out. He had to throw
away the old book and start new one
with a new inventory"

Young New Yorker Said to Have

WHITE PLAINS. n. Y, April a.
In st. Johns Episcopal church, Larch-
mont, today Miss sJessie Flint, daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. Frederick w. Flint,
was married to Albert ]. Morgan, a
young millionaire of New York and
Larchmont.
Mr.. Morgan is the youngest son of
Enoch Morgan. He was an important
witness in the trial of Roland B. Molin-
eux He was friend of Molineux and
1t is said, was engaged to marry Blanche
Chesebrough, who afterward married
Molineux. He owned the schooner
yacht Viator, on which he and Molineux
made many trips together 1t was a
great surprise to his friends when she
married MolineuX.
Mr.. Morgan was taken suddenly i'll
about the time Henry G. Barnet died
from poison 1t was rumored that Mr.
Morgan had also received a package
through the mail said to contain poison.
The doctor said however, that Mr.. Nor

Morgan himself denied that he had
taken poison.

ways been favorable to Mr.. Haupt, but
Senator Nelson could not at first see Il
that way.
Upon the death of Mr. Evans a very
fierce political battle commenced for the
much coveted position Judge Lochren
appointed Milton D. Purdy, then assistant,
to conduct the office until a successor to
Mr.. Evans was agreed upon. Among
those mentioned for the position were
c. Haupt, J. A. Peterson, Frank M. Nye,
Lafayette French, J. H. Steele, f. G.
Ingersoll ]. D. Jones.
The fight became SO fierce that it seem
ed impossible to agree on any one can
didate without causing considerable fric-
ton, and the senators settled the trouble
temporarily by appointing Mr.. Purdy to
fill the unexpired term. Since that Tina
the two Minnesota senators have been
trying hard to get together. At one time
it seemed certainty that the appoint
ment would go to Hennepin county,
Judge Steele, Frank M. Nye and Mr..
Purdy being the prominent candidates.
The senators were unable to come to
any agreement and the matter was allow
ed to drift.
CIapp Made Stand.
Finally Senator CIapp made a stand
for Mr.. Haupt and insisted on the ap>
pointment, reminding Senator Nelson
that it had been understood that Clapp
should have the disposal of the attorney
ship, as Nelson had all the other federal
appointments. After numerous efforts to
lind a compromise candidate Senator
Nelson withdrew his opposition and Mr..
Clapp named Charles c. Haupt Mr.
Haupt is well known attorney. being
prominent in Northern Minnesota in legal
and political circles a strong and active
republican worker and a concededly able
lawyer. He was twice a prominent can
didate for the nomination for attorney
general. Mr.. Purdy will continue in the
Office as assistant, a position he filed for
three years,
John Peterson will be reappointed COL
lector Of customs under the agreement of
the senators. The appointmets only
await the action of the senate now.
The officers of collector of internal rev
enue, now filled by Won Baumbach. and
marshal, held by Grimshaw, will not be
considered for some time. Both Won
Baumbach and Peterson are personal an
pointments of Senator Nelson. Won
Baumbach, of course, will be appointed
when his term expires. Grimshaw was
Senator Davis appointee and it is NOT
known what will be done when his term
expires next year

RAIN MAY HOLD OFF
FOR FEW DAYS MORE
Observer Lyons Cannot See Imme-

Moisture.

A continued dry spell, with an even,
moderate temperature, is predicted by
Weather Observer Lyons, of the st. Paul
weather bureau.
The slight snow storm of yesterday
morning was not very far-reaching in
its results, as only four hundredths of
an inch fell, but Observer Lyons thinks
it will be of more benefit to the crops
than a light rain would have been.
Yesterday morning the thermometer
registered about 80 degrees, but a high
er temperature is anticipated this morn
ing.
while a rain would be very welcome,
just now" said Observer Lyons yester-
day, the crops will be in no way af-
fected by the present drought If the
grain was several inches high, this dry
ness would be of considerable conse-
quence, but as it is, it amounts to moth

Assembly Votes to Award the
Lighting Contract to the
Cleveland Vapor Co.
UP TO THE ALDERMEN
Only Dissenting Vote Cast by As
sembIyman Denny, After a Spir-
tied Debate-Seeger
May Act.

With only one dissenting voice the as
sembly yesterday afternoon voted to give
the contract for the lighting of the city
with lncandescent gasoline lights for the
next six months to the Cleveland Vapor
Lighting company. The price will be $25
Per lamp per year, or $3.50 for the period
which the contract covers The plant is
TO remain the property of the contractor
Because of alleged poor service in the
past there was a decided tendency on the
part of several to kick over the traces
even in the face of the extremely low
price made, but When~the vote was taken
only one member could be found VINO
was of the opinion that the contract
should go to the American Development
company, or rather Robert Seeger. That
member was Assemblyman Denny.
Prior to passing on the question Of
nclally, the bids We're considered inform
ally and here the discussion pro and con
was exhaustive. Assemblyman Craig led
off by remarkng that unless he were
assured the city would be given decent
illumination for the remainder of the
year he would vote for those who had
given good service. Assemblyman Denny
was of his way Of thinking, only that he
had had encugh of unknown lighting
concerns, while Assemblyman Benson
thought the city could not be too care
1ul in tieing its hands for the next six
months.
Robert Seeger, who represents the
American Development company was an
interested spectator at the meeting, but
dad little to say beyond advancing the
point that the Cleveland Vapor Lighting
company coul1 not be viewed in tae
light Of . responsible bidder, inasmuch
as there was nothing to show that the
cOmpanyS lights had been in successful
operation for year in any other city
This requirement, he said was portion
of the specifications, and he advised the
members to be careful before placing the
contract
SeeEer Is Mysterious.
Asked after the meeting if he intended
doing anything Mr.. Seeger Iaughingly re-
marked, No" but added scientifically.
but the fun hasn't started by any means
yet From this would be inferred that
The American Development company ex-
poets to get busy on the point touched
upon by Mr.. SGeger at the meeting.
The contract will come up before the
beard of aldermen Tuesday night for
final approval. Several Of the members
do not take kindly to the new company,
because Of the lighting controversy which
resulted, but it is not expected that the
required approval Will be denied.
President erode Of the board Of public
works, informed the az sembly yesterday
that the service, " lille it was not Of the
best, was as good as could be given under
The existing ciTcun. stances. This was
taking into consideration the fact that
the plant was old and the company new
in the field.
There VIE be 1900 incandt scent lights
in all and they will take the place of the
fat flame lamps now in use The plant
must be III operation by June l and in
The meantime the board will designate
