CARRIES CHILD'S
CORPSE ON TRAIN
Too Poor to Bury 1t, Father
Brings It Here in His
Arms.

Rather than see his little daughter
buried at the expense of the county,
Louis Mark, who has been living at
Red Wing for some time, gathered the
corpse of the child in his arms and
with shawl wrapped about its lifeless
form, carried it to ST. Paul, arriving
here Monday night.
Wrapped in a shawl as the body was
no one on the train suspected that the
man was carrying a corpse. When Mr.
Mark arrived in ST. Paul he took the
child to the home of relatives at 217
East Water street, who are to furnish
the funds with which to give it prop.
er burial
He told the story of how he had
brought the child here when he applied
for burial permit yesterday. The
matter was referred to Coroner Miller
who made an investigation and decided
that the father had violated the law
but that the violation had been in ig-
norance and was prompted by his de-
sire to give the child a decent burial
Nothing will be done regarding the
matter.
Mark formerly lived in st. Paul, but
some time ago went to Red Wing. Since
the death Of his wife, some months ago
the father has cared for the baby, but
had not sufficient money with which to
bury 1t when it died. The infant was
thirteen months old.

Harmless Bill Precipitates
Second Fight Against Sus,

An attempt yesterday morning to

through the house precipitated a
Scr1mmage, the outcome Of which DEM
onstrated that the members in the sad
die do not purpose to he caught talk
ing snap judgment, as they have in
the past.
Representative Simons introduced a
bill to change the date for sessions of

is deemed necessary by Judge Watts,
of~the Fourteenth district. and the
measure is backed by the bar of the
county. The time in which to make

Precedent Is Dangerous.
Representative Burns, of Fillmore,
objected strenuously, and in a speech
directed more particularly to the new
members pointed out the evils Of es-
tablishing precedent which former
sessions proved dangerous. He insist
ed that the bill could take it's regular
course through the judiciary commit
tee and suffer delay of only one day,
while the scrutiny of the committee
would insure against possible mistakes
of dangerous character.
The debate became general, and an
attempt was made to suspend the rules

but failed under the two third rule,
necessary for suspension. Representa-
tive Gregory cleared up the atmos-
phere by securing the passage of res
Olution directing the committee to re-

CHURCH CLUBS
COMING HERE
National Conference to Be
Held in st. Paul Next
Year.

PITTSBURG, Pa, Jan. 1.-THE elev-
enth annual conference Of the National
Conference of the Church Clubs of the
United States was opened in Trinity
Episcopal church this morning. A
short address of welcome was made by
Bishop Cortland Whitehead. Delegates
are present from all sections of the
country.
President E. G. Denton, of Roches-
ter, N. Y, read his annual address in
which he recited the history of the
conference of church clubs from it's
conception and told how the church
clubs had done much to deepen and
broaden the knowledge of the laity. The
treasurer's report showed the confer
ence to be in good financial condi-
ton.
The afternoon session was given up
to discussion of raising funds by the
clubs for the church. The consensus
was that the clubs were formed purely
for social intercourse and for educa-
tional enlightenment on church mat
ters, and were the clubs to ask mem
bers to subscribe for missions or
church work the clubs would suffer.
st. Paul, Mimi, extended an invita-
tion for the next conference and it
was unanimously accepted. The time
for the meeting was changed from
January to the latter part of April.

ROOSEVELT FEARS
TAFT AS A RIVAL
Hanna Regards the Latter
as Good Presidential
Timber.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 14.-Po-
litical complications which are likely
to have a direct effect on President
Roosevelts ambition for a sacond term
are involved in the announcement that
Judge Taft will remain in the Philip
pines as civil governor instead of re-
turning to this country to succeed
Justice Shiras on the United States
supreme bench and that Gen. Leonard
Wood will be assigned tc the Philip
pines, probably to command in Min
danao.
All this, knowing ones in politics say,
gives great delight to Senator Hanna
and others who are not bound by prom
ise to support President Roosevelt for
denomination. Senator Hanna is known
to regard Gov. Taft as desirable can
didate for president. The president
knows the senator's mind and is wor-
ried over it. He is understood to re-
gard Gov. Taft as a formidable rival
and this announcement of Gen. Woods
going to the Philippines is regarded as
the first step of a move to displace
Gov. Taft and make Gen. Wood gov
ernor general of the archipelago.
It developed today that Gov. Taft,
probably acting under the advice of
Senator Hanna, wrote President Roose-
velt a letter in which he explained that
he did not feel it would be advisable
for him to abandon his duties as COVER
nor general while the work which he
had planned for himself remained un-
completed. The president is under
stood to have replied with promptness
that inasmuch as Justice Shiras pur-
posed to retire in February he would
feel bound to appoint his successor
without delay. That message is said
to have been forwarded to Gov. Taft by
cable
Senator Hanna's first step in the di-
rection of getting Gov. Taft squarely
before the people of the country will be
to run him for governor of Ohio next
fall.
The presidents recent course in
bringing forward the trust issue with
such insistence that it is now COM
manding the attention of the country
has widened the breach between him
self and most OF the older Republican
senators, including Senator Hanna.
They believe that he is too impulsive
to be president. They are satisfied that
If they begin a campaign against him
now they will have the support and
cooperation of the great corporate in
terests of the country; indeed, they
have already received assurances that
they can depend on that support.
Senator Hanna told the president a
year ago that he would give him a
years notice If he made up his mind
to support another candidate than the
president in the convention of 1904. 1t
will be necessary, therefore, in pursu-
ance of that compact for the senator to
notify President Roosevelt of his pur-
pose to bring forward Gov. Taft as a
candidate for president before the. first
of next July. Many persons in Wash
ington are of the opinion that Senator
Hanna has indirectly served notice on
the president of his intention to fight.

HORTON SEEKSFUNDS
TO FINISH NEW
CAPITOL
Chairman of Senate Public
Buildings Committee In
trOduces Measure to Raise
$1,5OO,OOO Necessary to
Complete The New State
House.

A bill for the continuance of the
tWo-tenths mill state tax until such
time as $1,5000 900, the estimated
amount necessary to complete the new
state capitol, is raised, introduced in
the senate yesterday.
The bill is fathered by Senator Hor-
ton, chairman of the committee on
public buildings, who has drawn most
OF the bills for appropriations for the
new state house, and who has sue
cessfully steered them through the
legislative seas.
Senator Horton introduced in 1899
the first capitol bill providing for a
tWo-tenths mill tax levy to raise 81
100000, the money to be available
only as collected.
Prices Soar Sky High.
Two years later a bill was passed
permitting the issuance of bonds in
anticipation of the tax collections. and
IN 1897 a similar bill permitting antici-
patton of the whole levy was passed.
In 1901 it was Mr. Horizons bill appro-
pr1ating $1,000000, which was passed,
The appropriation now sought is
made necessary almost entirely
through the tremendous increase in
cost Of building materials, although it
will furnish funds for the purchase Of
lands adjoining the capitol grounds
and permit the projected beautffying
of the handsome site
In view of all the facts surrounding
the case no opposition to the bill is
expected. The capitol commission has
shown the necessity for the appropria-
ton, and the governor recommends it
in his message.

TAKING AWAY CHARTERS.
Six Coal Companies Proceeded Against
in Ohio.

COLUMBUS, Ohio. Jan. 14.-The in
Vestigation that Gov. Nash has been
making of the coal situation ripened
into fruit this afternoon, when Attor-
ney General Sheets filed in the su-
preme court, at the instigation of the
governor, quo warranto suits against
six big coal companies to oust them
from their charters.
The companies against which suits
are brought are the New Pittsburg
Coal company, the Sunday creek Coal
company the General Hooking Fuel
company, the Congo Coal company the
Interstate Coal company and the Hook
ing Coal and Iron Company. Judge
Sheets said that he had carefully in
Quired into the situation, and was sure
that no railroad company was in the
combination.
1t is charged in the petitions that
these companies have entered into Il
conspiracy to limit the output of coal
and increase and generally control the
prices. 1t is further charged that they
have Disseminated in favor of Colum-
bus and against other cities of the
state, selling coal at about $1.25 a ton
cheaper than elsewhere. The suits are
brought under the Valentine anti trust
act

three hard and soft coal combinations
doing business in Illinois and Indiana
are expected as the result of the labor

posed that these indictments will in

is asserted, can and probably will be
done through corroborative evidence

the witnesses own testimony
The examination of witnesses ended

will consider the evidence, of which
that furnished by Edward T. Bent, Sec

GREED IN MILWAUKEE.
Coal Enough at Hand to Relieve the
Popular Distress.

MILWAUKEE. Wis, Jan. 1.-THE
charge that there is enough anthracite
coal in local yards to relieve the fam
inc, temporarily at least, has been sub
stantiated by the common council in
Vestigating committee. While thou<
sands of people in the city have been
begging coal at any price, while hun
dreds of crying and appealing women
have been turned away from coal Of
fees and while untold suffering and i'll
ness have been caused in the last few
weeks, all for the lack Of fuel, 10000
tons, more than was needed to end all
this misery, has been lying idle in stor-
age at the yards of the Lehigh Valley
Coal company, Sixth and Canal streets.
This, in brief, was the startling discov-
cry made by aldermen today Whether
the coal was held for high prices is not
known, as the agents decline to make a
statement. The council committee will
continue It's investigation tomorrow.
The action of the common council In
appointing an investigating committee
and the work of the citizens committee,
headed by Mayor Rose, it is believed.
will result in greatly relieving the local
situation.

Prier, well-known and highly re-

tally stabbed by Dan Burns, a young
man of this county, this afternoon.
The stabbing was almost wholly un-
warranted. Prier visited a saloon and
in going out brushed aside Burns, who
stood in his way. Burns drew a large
knife and stabbed Prier an inch above
the heart, and as his victim fell stabbed
him again.
Burns mind is thought to have been
affected by trashy novels. After the
stabbing he attempted to escape, but
was captured by brother of Prier and
locked up in Jail.
Public indignation against Burns is
very strong and the sheriff has placed
an extra guard at the jail to prevent
any attempt at lynching.
