DIPHTHER1A PATIENT
MAKES HIS ESCAPE
Impatient at Quarantine, He Slips
Away From City Hospital.

Frank Johnson. a patient In the con-
tagious ward at the city hospital, es-
capped from that institution yesterday
afternoon. Johnson, who was conval-
eSc1ng from an attack of diphtheria
left the ward While the nurses and at
tendants were engaged in another part
OF the building. Up to a late hour last
night he had not been .apprehended,
although detailed description was
given to the police and every patrol
man was ordered to keep watch for the
missing man.
Johnson had been confined in the
hospital for several weeks. He was
apparently we'll, but the authorities at
the hospital were waiting until the
health department returned a negative
culture, discharging him. The man
grew very Respondent when, day after
day, he was informed that the culture
taken was positive.
An opportunity to escape presented
itself yesterday and Johnson seized it.
While the nurses We're busy with the
other patients he took an attendants
fedora hat and left the contagion ward.
He was not missed until $3.50 o'clock,
an hour after he made his escape.
DR.. Ancker at once telephoned the
police, giving a detailed description of
the man. He is twenty three years of
age, five feet ten inches in height. and
weighs 100 pounds. He has light
blue eyes and flaXen hair and a ruddv
complexion. DR.. Ancker says there is
very little chance of Johnson commun-
fcating the disease.

FIRE DESTROYS
BARN AND HORSE
Iniicts $1,000 Damage on
Property of Economy
Furniture Company.

In a fire last night that destroyed the
stable and warehouse of the Economy
Furniture company, Fifth and Seventh
streets, a valuable road horse was
burned to death and a large supply Of
furniture In storage was consumed.
Before the fire was discovered-at
9:30-the flames had burst through the
roof, and when the first piece of fire
apparatus arrived. the building was
enveloped in the flames which COM
pletely burned the structure, entailing
a loss of $1,80O.
The cause of the fire is unknown,
but 1t is thought that the blaze was
started by live electric wire. While
fighting the flames, the f1remen had
considerable difficulty keeping clear Of
a network of live wire that fell to the
street. A telephone pole on Seventh
street was set afire by the current.
The barn which burned was directly
in the rear of the Economy Furniture
company's large salesrooms. For a
while the entire plant was endangered.
but the good work of the department
confined the flames to the doomed
building where they originated
The store house and barn were In
the one building. The Fifth street side
of the structure was used for a stable,
while the loft and east end of the
building was used for storing furniture.
The loss to the building is estimated at
$40O, and the contents. which were
completely destroyed. were valued at
$1,40O. The loss is covered by insur-
ance.

were intoxicated and were refused
liquor at Harris saloon. Early yester-
day morning Anderson's companion
came to Harris place again, inform
ing the saloon man that his partner
had fallen over a bluff about a half
mile below the bridge. The man then
left without giving his name.
Harris informed Dr. Miller and a
search for the mans body was made.
1t was found on a terrace sixty feet
below the road running along the crest
Of the bluff. The terrace was only a
few feet wide, and seventy-five feet
beneath it are the river bottoms. 1t
was q task of several hours to recover
the body from it's position. Anderson
had landed on his head but did not
fracture his skull, death having result
ed from a slight cOncussion of the
brain.
While It is not known Just how the
accident occurred, it is presumed that
Miller will ask the police to locate An
derson's missing companion, so a de-
tailed account of the accident may be
procured.
Al Beyson, a bartender employed by
Frank James, who runs a saloon on
the upper levee, says that Anderson
borrowed 10 cents from him Tuesday
evening so that he could ride out to
Smelling. He said that he wished to
secure a position at FOhey's stone
quarry Anderson was unaccompanied
when in James saloon.
It is said that Anderson has relatives
living at North st. Paul. Anderson was
unmarried. and for several months had
been living at lodging and rOoming
houses. He was forty-eight years Of
age and was born in Norway.

REFUSES TO BIDE
TWO WEEKS DELAY
Northern Pacific Asks Court
to Condemn for Lafayette
Avenue Tunnel.

Anticipating a delay that would seri-
ously hamper the work now in prog
resS on its new Westminster street
terminals, the Northern Pacific Rail-
way company will drop it's application
to the city council for permission to
construct a tunnel under Lafayette
avenue, and will appeal to the courts
for the right instead.
Steps to this end were taken yes
terday, when the Northern Pacific
Railway company, through it's attor-
neys, filed with the district court an
application for an order granting it.
the right to condemn sufficient of the
street to permit the construction of
the tunnel desired. The appointment
of three freeholders for the purpose
of determining the compensation to be
paid to the city for the use of the
street is also asked.
The first intimation of the company's
intentions was received yesterday,
when a copy of the application was
filed with Corporation Attorney
Michael. The hearing on the request
is to be held Saturday afternoon, April
II, at 2 o'clock, and Corporation At
torney Michael is asked to be present
In the city's interest.
The tunnel as described in the ap-
pHcation, is to be sixteen feet wide
in the clear, tWenty-four feet below
the grade of the street and is to have
a head room of twenty feet. 1t will
accommodate two tracks and is to be
located a short distance from the pres
ent Lafayette avenue bridge.
When the application of the Northern
Pacific for the right TO pierce the street
with a tunnel was before the commit
tee on, streets of the assembly last
Monday vigorous opposition was made
to any delay by the Northern Pacific's
attorneys, but despite their protests it
was laid over for two weeks on repre-
sentations made by the 500 line. The
company then said delay would ham
per their work, and the application to
the court for the right to condemn Is
understood to be for the purpose of
circumventing this delay.
The company owns the property on
both sides of the street, and at the
meeting Monday intimated that it was
not. really necessary to ask the council
for the right to construct the tunnel.
The assembly will likely be served
with notice at it's meeting this even
ing of the company's latest step.

PLAN OF ACTION
Programme to Be Arranged
for Treating With Gas
Company.

In order to facilitate negotiations
with the st. Paul Gas Light company
and TO provide for future inVeStiga-
tiOns along the line Of gas and electric
light in ST. Paul. the city lighting fran
chiSe commission yesterday selected a
subcommittee to formulate a plan of
action and q programme to be submit
ted to the general committee for ap-
proval or rejection. The committee is
composed of Oscar Claussen, j. H.
Mitchell and Assemblyman Doran.
The committee yesterday had a brief
conference with President Lathrop and
Attorney Carl Taylor, of the st. Paul
Gas Light company, but nothing new
developed. The talk was Of a general
nature and it was for this reason that
a subcommittee to prepare pro-
gramme was decided upon.
The scheme of a municipal gas light
ing plant was talked of and received
encouragement from Oscar Claussen,
who said that when a similar plant
was contemplated in Minneapolis
some years ago the cost was estimated
as low as 100000.
President Lathrop, of the gas COM
pany, was of the opinion that the cost
would be double now.
Both President Lathrop and Attorney
Taylor said the gas company was will
ing to reduce their rates literally and
to make needed extensions, but could
not do so until the companys future
was assured. President Lathrop init
mated that the quicker the negotiations
with his company were completed the
sooner the public would be enjoying
lower rates and needed extensions.
Some discussion was INDUCED in re-
garding the lower rate for gas enjoyed
in Minneapolis than st. Paul, and Pres
ident Lathrop explained that this was
due to the fact that Minneapolis con-
sumed twice as much gas. Besides,
the cost of operation there, he said,
was less than here.

Secretary of School Board Whose Resignation Was
Accepted to Take Effect July /.

fourth of a series of Lenten lectures
in Christ church last evening on the
subject Religious Expansion" The
speaker said in part:
christianity if for the four corners
of the earth-it is cosmopolitan in the
strictest sense of the word. 1t is a
matter of common knowledge that
provincial thing cannot become univer-
sal, and I often think that the greatest
mistake we Of the church make is that
we strive to stretch a debail and -ry
equally as hard to contract a universal
thing. We are too apt to minimize the
weighty things and magnify the little
things. Christianity has too long wav-
cred between the two extremes. 1t Is
our bounden duty to reverse matters
and give to the corners of the earth
the Christianity they need. The ends
of the earth need Christianity. but no
more than Christianity needs the ends
of the earth.
1--WE are victims of cramping and
contraction. 1t is the same with the
church as it is with a boy whom one
might place in monastery and keep
imprisoned for life. He not only suf-
fers from the lack Of the outer influ-
ences, but the outside suffers from
what 1t would undoubtedly gain Of
him. The matter works both ways, and
evil and suffering are at either end.
This, besides being an age of prog
ress and expansion, is an age Of or
ganization. No matter where you
look you will see the forces of the great
world concentrating. In the world of
commerce, the world of labor, the world
of religion, and all the other innumer-
! able worlds of which this one is made
up. And it is right that it should be
so. The art of science of unifying, or
welding, is one, that has come to us
with the years and their attendant les
sons.'

MAY SAVE CLERK
FOR ANOTHER YEAR
Republicans Prepare Bill to
Keep Matt Jensen in
Office.

II the city charter prevails. City
Clerk Matt Jensen will be retired to
private life next June, but he stands
chance of staying another year and
receiving $4,000 more from the city's
strong box.
Jensen's salvation would be the bill
now before the legislature making
number of the city appointive offices
elective, among which is that of city
clerk. 1t may not have occurred to
some, but this bill, in providing for
the beheading of a number of Demo-
cratic city officials, makes special pro-
vision for City Clerk Matt Jensen, a
Republican.
The woodchuck, which is the work of
the lincoln League Republican club,
is neatly concealed Ia that section of
the bill which provides that in the
event of the term of any official eXpir-
ing between the time the act becomes
a law and the next general election.
the incumbent shall hold over until
such election. This is not the exact
: language, lin fact iteis vague but it is
what the bill proposes. :
Of all the appointive Offices nov
listed in the city government, that of
city clerk is the only one expiring be-
tween this and the next general elec-
ton. Matt Jensen fills it, and the in
tentions of the Republicans, who are
backing the act, are more than appar-
ent.
1t is generally believed that the bill
will never become law. but the dozen
or more Democrats who are after the
city clerkship just now are by no
means relieved by this impression.
They want to see Jensen down and
out, and they won't feel happy until
they do.
The bill in it's present form contem-
plates applying the elective franchise
only TO the city clerk. city attorney and
the members of the board of public
works, but it is said that steps are
now on foot to amend it so that the
park board, the board Of control the
chief of police and the board of police
commissioners will be included.

unanimously adopted.
Savard Would Accept Job.
Inspector Savard, who was mention
ed as a candidate for the position of
secretary, intimated that the anounce-
ment was in the shape of an April 1
joke, but admitted that, if the place
was offered to him, he would accept it.
Inspector Rogers, after the session
was over, said there had been no can
didates for the position of secretary
mentioned in the executive session, and
as the heaviest work of the board was
coming in the next two months it was
decided it would not be policy to put
in a new man just at the present time.
President Holman introduced several
amendments to the rules Of the board
relating to the purchase of supplies,
which were adopted under suspension
of the rules.
"The board seems to have fallen into
q loose system, or rather lax way of
doing business" said President Hol-
man, land the amendments I have sub
mitted are for the purpose of changing
the system. I find on looking up the
law, that all orders for supplies should
be made by the board and not by COM
mittees, as the present rules would
seem to Indicate"
Inspector Fry said that since he had
been a member of the board there had
never been a requisition for supplies
sent to him and he favored the amend
ing of the rules.
The amendments provide that all
acquisitions for supplies must, in the
future, be recommended by the COM
mittees and then passed on by the full
board.

executive session Mr.. Healy came out
to his desk and wrote a few lines on

This he presented to the board, when
President Holman reached the order OF

The board of fire commissioners last
night advanced the wages of all stok-
ers employed by it and from now on
they will receive $40, $6S and $66 a

this basis that their monthly stipend

The stokers, of which there are four
teen, made application for a raise In

increase be Sc a month for each class.
This the board decided it was un-
able to do, but after a lengthy confer
ence compromised on So raise all

at once.
The board last night ordered a fire
alarm box to be put in at Fourth and
Cypress streets. but declined to pro
vide each of the three theaters with
