William D. "Biuy') Morse, United

fcctiyely he took his part as Left Erick-
son. Billy entered into his role for all
he was worth but only the other day did
he realize how thoroughly into his be-
ing had been welded the part which he so
assiduously studied during the long nights
last fal land winter. ,..s.. e. ..- -.
He was recently detailed to take to
Boston for deportation to Norway, one
John O. Skaar, a demented man from
Kandiyohi county. The two got off in
safety and events followed smoothly. John
offered no resistance but BILLY" no.
| ticed that he had an odd air of coma
raderie. He tried repeatedly to engage
| in conversation in Norwegian and ap-
peared to be hurt because Billy did not
! reply in the same tongue. At all hours
of day and light the patient repeated the
same string of words. One morning he
rose at o'clock and renewed his talk
until it was necessary to jam him down in
the berth to get the needed rest. r.
A mile and a half east of Jackson,

passing between the sleeper and diner.
Morse returned from the next station and
immediately began search for his

old explanation and Billy in sheer de

that John knew, we'll enough that he was
being taken back to- Norway and he was
extremely pleased, but he thought Billy
had taken him past the destination. He
could not understand why Left wouldn't
talk in his native language, so left the
train on a private reconnaissance.

but would abide by the decision Of those
present. The four present agreed that
there was nothing left to do but resign.
Expenses of the commissions work to
date have not yet been paid by the city
council, . 49,.
. Several commissioners stand ready to
serve on another commission If one is
appointed. 1t has been suggested that as
many of the present commission as de-
sire to be relieved Of the work of charter
tinkering, resign and that those who were
willing to continue in service be rein
forced by new material appointed to fill
the vacancies, so that the work go on
without further official hiatus. But 1t
seemed best to those present last night
that all should step down. The ex-
ecutfve committee of the Charter Union
will get together and map out a plan for
continuance of charter agitation and the
submission to the, people at the coming
election of a charter proposition. The
leading spirits of the Charter Union are
not yet convinced of the impossibility OF
charter revision, but it is the prevail
ing opinion that the next effort will have
to be on much more modest scale than
those tried heretofore. Radical charter
revision, they admit, is now out OF the
question. Sufficient emergency to give
such movement the impetus necessary
to success is lacking. But they are
agreed that a beginning, at least, should
be made this year by submitting the
present charter with home rule amend
ment and provision for future amend
ments at special elections. That is as
far as they can expect to get the people
to move at this time, they say, particu-
larly In view of the disastrous career OF
the present city administration. This
has been black eye for the, dominant
idea of the last two charters presented
to the people,-the Capitalization of off,
cial responsibility and power in the chief
executive,-and they insist that the
champions of that system Of municipal ,ad-
ministration might now Just as we'll hang
up their fddles and wait for time to live
down the remembrance of the present
administration's misdeeds.
President Henderson of the charter
commission is satisfied that there must
be some emergency to arouse the people
| to the urgent necessity Of action to make
charter revision successful. The schoo.
board financial situation two years age
was an emergency justifying charter &C.

BOAT RIDE, POSTPONED

The weather interfered slightly with the

day at Roswell Park, Lake Minnetonka.
1t was the int ention Of Messrs. Evans,
Munzer. Pickering & Co. to end the
days festivities with moonlight tour Of
the lake on the steamer George" but
about o'clock drizzling rain set in
and it was thought best to postpone the
steamer trip, which will be held in the
near future. That the outing was de-
cided success was attested In many ways,
not least Of which was the dook of con-
tentment on the faces of the 500 en-
ployes as the train pulled out for the
city. The baseball game In the early at
ternoon, the feature Of which was the
pitching and base running Of Mr.. Munzer,

great public utility.
The characteristic point of the plan is
it's simplicity. The auditorium will be on
a level with the ground. No posts Will
obstruct the view of the stage. AS far
as possible, persons on the various hoors
in leaving the building will not be con-
gested at any point nor be thrown IN
with crowds from other floors. Exits are
provided on three sides.
The national guard Is provided with
quarters and q drill floor, and per-
manent home for the Society Of Fine Arts
is incorporated In the scheme. "
Details of Plan.
In detail Bertrand & Chamberlain sug-
gest the lowering of the present audi

of huge skylights supported by steel
trusses running almost the whole length
of the auditorium. 1t will rest below the

height will equal that of the present
skylight
Three galleries will be supported from
the roof trusses, doing away entirely
with posts. f.:
The auditorium would he so constructed
that 1t could be reduced in size at will.

small hall seating about 1000 persons,
