EVERY PROBATION TAKEN TO
PROTECT THE CITY FROM
SMALLPOX
ST. PAUL NOW ALMOST IMMUNE
Twelve Cases at the Pest House.
but Nearly All of Them
Are N0n-Resi-
dents.

with the exception of an occasional
isolated case, ST. Paul is now enjoying
comparative immunity from what nearly
every city and hamlet in the state is now
more or less suffering, a mild scourge of
the dreaded smallpox
AT the Dale street pest house an even
dozen patients are housed, but the num-
Der are mostly what is known as tran
slents, outsiders coming into the city to
have their ailment diagnosed by some
physicians, or an affected passenger
taken from some train. In ST. Paul
proper there is hardly a case, the local
department taking every precauton pos
slble IN the shape of liberal vaccination
and thorough fumigation.
January and February are months Pc
culiar to this disease and in order to
ward 1T off as much as possible the local
department has been unusually ener.
getlc the past month. All cheap lodging
houses, the abode of the logger and
the traveller of small means, have been
visited and fUmigated. The flats and
other thickly populated localities have
also received a visit Not even the re-
sorts were forgotten, under DR.. Ohage's
orders, every inmate being compelled to
submit to vaccination. Disinfecting fluid
has been distributed literally.
st. Paul, because of the vigorous meas
ures taken, has been comparatively free
OF the disease, but other places through
out the state have not been SO fortunate
Minneapolis is credited with a number
OF cases and in several instances it is
some of this number that the health off,
Gals have been compelled to take care Of
Steps are now being taken by the de-
paftment to trace every case picked up
and if it can be shown that the victim
has been forced oil st. Paul suit will be
commenced to collect for his care.

SAYS HECANNOT
GOVERNOR ANSWERS PETITION OF
MLNNEAPOLIS BUSINESS MEN.

Gov. Van SAINT yesterday sent the fol-
lowing reply to the Minneapolis business
men who petitioned him Saturday in reIa-
ton to the Northern Securities COM
pany:
beg to acknowledge receipts of a petit
tlon from you and numerous other gem
tlemen doing business in the city of Min
neapolis proposing THAT no immediate
action be taken against the Northern
Securities company and that fair op-
portunity be given for testing by expert
ence whether good or evil will come from
that company
Permit me to call your attention to sec
tons 2716 and 2717 of the General Statutes
OF the State of Minnesota for the year
1894. which reads as follows:
Section ZIG. No railroad corpora ton
shall consolidate with, lease or purchase,
or in any way become owner of or con-
troll, any other railroad corporation. or
any stock, franchises, rights or property
thereof, which owns or controls paral-
lei or competing line.
Section PHI No railroad corporation
or the lesseeS, purchasers Or managers
of any railroad corporation shall consol-
1date the stock, property or franchises of
such corporation with, or lease or pur-
chase the works or franchises Of or in
any way control, any other railroad cor
poration owning or having under its
control parallel or competing line; nor
shall any officer of such railroad corpora
ton act as an officer of any other rail-
road corporation owning or having the
control of a parallel or competing line"
The consolidation of the Northern Pa
cific and the Great Northern Railway
companies, through the organization Of
the Northern Securities company is
clearly a violation of the provisions of
the statute quoted above.
l obligated myself, when 1 was inau-
gurated as governor of the state, to en-.
force the laws thereof.
1t is my bounden duty to prevent, if
possible, the consolidation referred to- be-
cause such consolidation is in violation
of the clear and unmstakable provisions
of the law.
The sections above quoted have been
upon the statute books for over a quar-
ter of century. Not only is the letter
this state, against the consolidation of
parallel and competing railroad lines.
Competition in the matter of rates al
ways has been and ever will be bene-
fetal to the people, and no specious ar
gument or statement from those desiring
to do away with such competition is suf-
hc1ent to meet plain facts derived from
common experience
However, the question of whether the
law is wise or unwise does not confront
me.
The law exists and has been violated
My duty is plain.
L, therefore, must respectfully decline
to comply with the requests contained in
your petition and shall continue as Wig
orously as possible to vindicate the laws
of our state.

HOPES BILL WILL PASS.

Auditor Dunn stiff favors the passage
of the tax bill. II He said yesterday:
No amendment to the constitution viii

from taxation. [ do not feel like amend-
ing the constitution SO far as to give the
legislature power TO exempt any class of

to anything. AS state auditor l have
always looked after local interests, TO

PATRICK KILBANE SAYS TROG,s
STORY is NOT TRUE.

Patrick Kilbane, a railroad man. living
at $50 Rice street, who was arrested by
the Rondo police Tuesday night on the
charge of attempting to assault Mrs.
Henry frog, whose husband conducts a
small store at 849 Rice street, was before
Judge Orr in the police court yesterday,
The county attorney, on Investigation,
changed the charged to assault and bat
terry and Kilbane will be arradgned this
morning
1t is alleged that he has acted little
too familiar towards Mrs frog whenever
he found her alone in the store. The
woman claims that when he came into
the store Tuesday evening, he, thinking
that she was alone, attempted to embrace
her On the other hand, Kilbane claims
that he went into the store and was in
vited to sit down while she went into a
rear room to quiet the children. He had
no sooner sat down, he alleges, than her
husband and another man rushed out
from room where they had been Sc
creted and held him until the police ar
rived.

DOES MUCH GOOD WORK
LIBRARY COMMISSION REPORTS ON
TRAVELLING LIBRARIES.

The annual report of the Minnesota state
library commission has just been issued
The report mentions all cities in the state
maintaining libraries. The report eX,
presses regret that the appropriation for
library work was cut down from s., 900 20
5000 by the last legislature However,
the expenditures have been kept within
the limit fixed. The six-weeks summer
library school is mentioned as an-ex-
cellent institution. Concerning the popu-
lar travelling libraries, the report SAYS:
During the winter of 1901 there were
100 libraries of so volumes each, and IS
libraries of % volumes each, in circuIa-
ton. The total circulation was Al ,645. or
nearly n;4a1 Y. seven times for each book. IL a
city library should circulate its books IL
the same rate the circulation would be
CONSIDERED phenomenal. The total num-
Ger of borrowers was 1887 Two-thiris
of the places borrowing the libraries are
country communities, who would other
wise have no library opportunities what
ever. In the towns, the travelling library
has many times given the impetus to Z
permanent library. In the fall of 1901
other libraries were added, making a ia
tai of 125 libraries of 80 volumes and 60
libraries Of Is volumes. This means 1S5

is BAR TO PARKWAYS
LACK OF RIGHT TO ESTABLISH
BUILDING LINE MAKES
TROUBLE
WILL APPEAL TO LEGISLATURE
Proper Boulevardfng of Streets Pre-
vented in Many Cases by In
ability of City to Sc
cure Ground.

IF the legislature would pass a law
permitting ST. Paul and other cities of its
class to establish building line, all this
trouble of securing ground for the wild
ening and boulevarding OF streets would
be obviated,'' says President Wheelock,
of the board of park commissioners.
Just now the board is engaged in the
laudable enterprise of providing In the
residence districts a series of parkWayS
as entrances and beautiful driveways to
the several City PARKS, but, owing to the
irregular method employed in building
the houses that abut them, trouble is
met in securing the required ground, and
the project often has to be abandoned.
Were all the residences restricted to a
street line, the board says it could enter
upon~the premises and while not absorb
ing the ground to the extent of depriving
the owners of it's title, could set it apart
for boulevard or lawn purposes, and
have jurisdiction over it.
For three years the Minneapolis board
has tried to get a bill through the legis-
lature permitting the establishment by
cities of "a building line, but failed each
time. Another effort will be again made,
and this time the board will have the
support of the st. Paul commission.

NEW TRIAL FOR JOHN
JUDGE BUM ANNULS HIS TWELVE
YEAR SENTENCE AND GIVES
HIM ANOTHER CHANCE
COURTS ANALYSIS OF CASE
Apprehension That Great Wrong
May Have Been Done, and
New Trial VIII Do
No Harm.

Harry c. John, convicted by a jury of
having had carnal knowledge of Bertha
Schwartz, aged eleven years, and SEN
fenced to serve twelve years at the Still
water penitentiary, has been granted a
new trial.
An order to that effect was filed yester-
day by Judge Bum, before whom the
case was tried, and who grants the mo-
tion of the defendant to set aside the
verdict and for a new trial. The order
vacates the judgment and sentence and
directs that defendant be taken to the
Ramsey county jail to await the further
order of the court.
The memorandum of Judge Bum,
which is highly interesting analysis of
the vital elements of the case, is here
printed in full:
The truth Of the statement that a
charge of this kind is easy to make and
hard to defend against was never better
illustrated than in the case at bar
Were the defendant wholly innocent, as
he claims to be, his defense could have
been no stronger, no different than it
is. And it may be said with equal truth
that there is seldom any evidence Of guilt
The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1902-01-30

in these cases other than the evidence Of
the injured person.
In short, the whole case depends upon
the testimony of Bertha Schwartz. The
defendants innocence. If the girl is not
telling the truth, or if she is telling her
dreams or fancies, the whole case against
defendant fails and he is not only inno-
cent but greatly injured.
l see no reason why the little girl
should tell such a horrible story if it is
not true or If she does not believe It
to be true. I cannot believe that she is
deliberately telling what she knows to be
false. Yet there are well authenticated
cases of similar accusations made with
out a foundation of truth. Admittedly
the girl is of a very nervous historical
temperament. Her story has in it strong
suggestion of improbability. The unpro-
pltious surroundings, the strange man.
ner In which she says the crime was
committed, the absence of pain and other
natural evidences of crime are sufficient,
1t seems to me. in view of the tempera-
ment of the girl, and the possibility that
1T may have been all dream, to create
d reasonable doubt of defendants guilt
An impartial and conscientious jury
found defendant guilty after trial that
IS conceded to have been eminently fair
NO suggestion is made that the jury was
or might have been swayed by passion
or by any consideration other than a de-
sire to do exact justice. Under such cir
cumstanceS / am most reluctant to dis
turb the verdict But a wrongful con-
yiction is not only a great injustice to
the defendant, but to the state as well,
and the judicial mind ought not to be
satisfied with a verdict of guilty when
after giving the opinion of the jury all
due weight, there still remains the dis
tInct and not unreasonable apprehension
that a great wrong may have been done
though there is no absolute showing that
it has been. When the apprehension ex-
lists, 1t seems to me the absolute duty of
the tn fJxy
available to prevent the possible wrong
a new trial. If the defendant be guilty.
1t will not iniure the state to be obliged to
satisfy another jury, while if defendant
be innocent, the injury to the defendant
by allowing the conviction to stand is too
frightful to think Of

IN M'KINLEY'S MEMORY
GARFIELD POST HOLDS MEMORIAL
EXERCISES IN HIS HONOR
Gov. Van SAINT, Judge Kelly and r.
B. DOran Were Among
the Speak
ers.

Exercises were held last night by Gar
field Post, G. A. r., at the post hall, on
Wabasha street in honor of the birthday
of the late President Mckinley. The
programme consisted of musical num-
bers, Rotations and addresses. The
principal speaker of the evening was
Gov. S. r. Van SAINT, who spoke upon
the life and character of the late presi-
dent
Gov. Van SAINT spoke at some length
upon the record of William Mckinley as
a soldier, and said that the grandest act
of the late presidents entire life was to
enlist as a private soldier to fight for
the preservation of the Union. He told
several little incidents in McKinley's nil
itary career, which he took to be indica-
tive of his personal character.
He also referred to the presidents
home life, which was, he said, most ex-
emplary In the late presidents love for
his aged mother and the tender care
which he exercised over his invalid wife,
he found an example which can well be
placed before the younger generation as
model for them to strive to copy.
Gov. Van SAINT referred to the great
triumphs the nation made under McI<in-
ley's administration. He said there Were
the added commercial prosperity, both
at home and abroad, and the placing of
the American republic upon a higher
plane among the nations of thS earth
But the greatest triumph the nation
has made since Lee surrendered at APP
pomattox,' said Gov. Van SAINT, was the
reuniting of the North and the South
which occurred in the Spanish war, I'M
der McI<inley's administration. We now
have united nation, and it was accom-
plished while an old soldier of the War
of the Rebellion was in the presidential
chair
Judge William L. Kelly followed Gov
Van SAINT and spoke in words of glow
ing tribute of the life and example Of the
late president. He said Mckinley died
with the satisfaction of knowing that at
all times in his life he had done his duty,
which is all that any man can DO. He
closed by quoting the poem entitled, ''S:r
Hugos Choice" which, he explained,
came nearer expressing his ideas than
any words that he might frame.
EX-Mayor F. B. Doran spoke briefly
upon the life of the president and re-
ferred to the time when the army, which
had been for years in the field, struggling
to put down the rebellion, were dis
charged, and in the space of two weeks
became American citizens. This he
considered to be the greatest victory the
American government had ever Won.
Other numbers on the programme were:
Violin and piano duet, Miss Carrie
Alton and Mrs Van Duzee; song, 1.-THE
Vacant Chair" Mrs. Pierce; recitation,
Mrs. Harvey Mills; piano solo, Miss
Flood. Mr.. j. A. Lathrop, commander
of the post, presided.
