REAGAN IS HELD FOR
ASSAULT ON SMITH
Witnesses Tell of Attack on Pa.
trolman Which Game Near
Being Fatal.

John Reagan, who is charged with
the assault on Officer Axel Smith at
Decatur and Bedford streets, on the
evening of July 26. that came near end
ing fatally for the officer, was yester-
day bound over to the grand jury in
$1,000 bail.
A. B. Farrand, who was arrested in
discharged, and Charles Clang, whose
arrest caused the trouble, had his case
CONTINUED until Aug. IL.
DR.. Ball testified in court. that the in
juries were of such a nature that their
results could not at the present time
be foretold. One of the blows had in
fiicted a wound that might easily have
been fatal one. and it might yet have
serious results.
Officer Smith said that after he had
arrested Clang he asked Reagan to
ring up the box for him. Reagan re-
fused and then he was struck and
knocked down.
Ella Mcintyre. of 532 Decatur street,
said she saw Reagan strike the second
blow, which felled the officer.
Fireman F. II. Gum. of the fire sta
ton. testified that he heard the dis
turbanee and ran to the spot. While
running he saw the officer staggef
from the sidewalk and Reagan strike
him two blows over the head, from the
result of which he fell to the ground
By the time Gum arrived at the
scene he says the officer was on the
ground with Reagan on top of him. He
heard Reagan threaten to blow Smiths
brains out if he did not let him get
up, and at the same time saw him
point revolver within few inches OF
his head. Gum seized Reagan and held
him until the wagon arrived.
There was some testimony as to II
having been a woman who had struck
the first blow at the officer.

CITY IS IN NO NEED
SAYS SCH|FFMANN
AssembIyman Claims That Big
Detention Hospital Is:
Useless.

To an unbusiness-like complexion
permeating the whole scheme, Assem-
blyman Schiffmann aScribeS his oppo-
sition to tSa proposed 100000 loan for
a new detention hospital. DR.. Schiff-
mann last night said:
'"The statement that I refused to
sign the petition p1edging the common
council to place 100000 item in the
tax budget to defray the expenses OF
the erection of a new detention hos
pital is untrue. The reason l did not
refuse to sign is that the paper was not
presented to me.
Certainly am not in favor of the
proposed $780, 1t is unbuSinesS-
like in the extreme. And beyond that
l am not in favor of the erection of a
big new detention hospital. The city
does not need it. If we did need it,
should not favor rushing into loan
before any plans are prepared. No
sane man would conduct his own af-
fairs in that manner and the strictest
business methods should be applied to
municipal affairs.
when DR.. Ohage outlines what the
city needs, in the way of additional
detention hospital facilities, we will
undoubtedly be able to crafty his
wishes. which will probably be sane
and temperate. / favor the erection of

WOLFER's H0STHM
At SALTWATER Is
QUITE TOO POPULAR
Newcomers Have to Sleep in
the Corridors-Proposed Ad-
ditions Greatly Needed
Board of Control Member
Says New Pen Is Necessary.

So Inadequate are the accommoda-
tions at the state prison that it mas
become necessary to find temporary
sleeping quarters for a number OF the
prisoners in the corridors of the cell
houses, and at meal times large pro-
portion of them are compelled to eat
at imDrovised tables in the corridors,
outside the dining rooms. For this
reason the state board of control is ex-
erting every effort to rush forward the
construction of the additions to the
prison provided for by the last legis-
lature.
The population of the prison at the
close Of June was 612 persons, nearly
all of whom were men. and the present
number is something more than that.
The improvements at the prison con-
templated by the legislature in It's
recent appropriation, and by the board
of control in it's present plans, are for
present needs only, and viii consist OF
two wings to be added to the main cell
house. This will provide about eighty
or ninety new cells.
The wings will be constructed to
conform to the remainder of the build
ing and the interior work. including
cell partitions and floors. will be of the
same general style as that in the other
portions of the prison.
Members of the board and state off,
GERS generally recognize that within a
very short time it will be necessary to
build an entirely new penitentiary, of
modern construction and greatly in
creased capacity. and discussing that
subject yesterday with T h e G o b e
Judge Gould, of the board of control,
said:
I'VE will first have to secure new
site. for we will not have room in that
hollow over there for the sort of an
establishment we need. We should
have farm of twenty acres or more,
and we hope that we will be able to
secure such site when the time comes
to build out new prison"
This suggested a question as to
whether there was any plan to remove
the prison from Saltwater to some
other town. and to that Judge Gould
replied that he did not believe SO. He
thought that when the time came a
proper site. could be found in Stillwa :
ter.
But he said, eff it were a new
proposition entirely aBd l could have
my way, I should locate all of the
state institutions as close to the center
of the state as 1 could get them. In
saying that 1 speak entirely from the
viewpoint of public convenience, and I
think it a great mistake to have public
institutions located on the edge of the
state. We have three normal schools
that are located right on the border
lines Of other states, and there are
many of our other institutions just as
badly situated. Without reference to
any particular Institution, I think that
policy is mistake; but under the cir
cumstances, as they exist, am not ad-
Vocating any changes"

LIGHTNING REVEALS
THEIR DISTRESS
Yachtsmen Whose Boat capsizes in
White Bear Aided in Nick of Time.

While Percy D. Godfrey and friend
were sailing from Wildwood to Mr.. God
frey's home at White Bear beach last
night in the sloop Banshee, they were
oTertaken by a storm in the nature of
a hurricane and the sloop was cap
sized.
The two sailors clung to the boat
after it turned turtle. but were near
ly exhausted before help arrived.
G. M. Griggs, who resides at Dell
wood bay, saw the predicament of the
men through one of the lightning
flashes and at once launched his boat
and went to the rescue. Capt Douglas
had also seen the overturned boat and
had put out in his launch from the
club house.
Both rescuing parties came up with
the men at the same time and with
considerable difficulty the half drowned
sailors were taken aboard the launch
and the sloop was towed into safer
quarters.

ARRAIGN PLUMBING
INSPECTOR COFF
City Official ChargedWith Lead
ing Assault on Non-Union
Plumbers.

City Plumbing Inspector Patrick
Coff, the first city official to be ar
raigned in the st. Paul municipal
court, yesterday entered a plea of not
guilty to an assault charge and had his
trial set for Monday. Bail was fixed
at 500, but on account of his official
position Coff was released on his own
cognizance.
Coff, it is charged. was the leader Of
the three men who entered the room
of Reiter and Kersten, non union
plumbers, Monday night and precipi-
tated> the row from which Reiter
emerged badly beaten and kicked, and
kersten minus part of one toe, The
master plumbers, who are prosecuting
the case for Reiter and Kersten, claim
the identity of the other two men is
known, but decline to give their names.
The warrant for Coff's arrest was
issued Tuesday morning, but he was
not located by the officers until he
walked into police court yesterday aft
ernoon.
The strike situation, of which the
Monday night assault is the one Incl
dent of violence, has assumed proper
tions promising anything but a speedy
settlement The employing master
plumbers have imported about fifty
non-union Workmen and declare they
are in a position to ignore the strike.
They also disclaim any feeling of hos
ltility against the striking men, but are
incensed at Coff.
!, They assert that Cof is the walking
delegate for the local Plumbers union,
and that, in his dual capacity as dele
gate and city plumbing inspector, he
has been able to make them lots OF
trouble. as all plumbing permits must
pass through his hands and all work
installed receive his anprOyal
+ The masters deny that they seek the
dismissal Of Coff from the city's serv
ice, but will ask that he be suspended
from active service until the strike Is
settled. They charge the city inspector
with intimidating their men.

SCIENTIFIC BOOKS
HAVE THE PREF ERENCE
State Library Board ecn.nisses It's Se-.
lection of Volumes.

The state library board continued It's
work yesterday and finished its seiec-
ton of new books to be added TO the
list that may be used in public school
libraries of the state. Considerable
work still remains in the revision OF
the catalogue to rid it Of books that
are out of print or that have been re-
placed by the board.
A large number of books have been
added to tha list and large number
dropped, but there will be net in
crease in the catalogue of some 500
volumes.
OF the books that have been added
a majority are on scientific subjects.
This is attributed to the constant
progress that is being made in that
field of learning, and the consequent
fact that work that is a standard au-
thority now in some branch of science
will soon become obsolete, and must of
necessity be replaced with some later
publication.
