GRAND JURY
MAKES REPORT
Gives Up Business After
Session of Twelve
Days.

After being in session less than a
dozen days the January grand jury
mace Its final report to Judge Kelly
yesterday afternoon, returning indiet-
ments in three Jail cases and no bills
In two other cases.
Inc wine sroom question, so
thoroughly investigated by the pre-
and no secret indictments were re-
turned in any lease.
When the present grand jury was
sworn in Judge Kelly, in giving the
Jurors their Instructions, requested
them to make a thorough investigation
into the wine room evil. as well as into
the report that a gambling house was
being conducted just across the line in
Dakota county. The report Of the jury
did not refer to these matters at all.
After hearing the report Of the jury,
and being advised by the foreman that
there was nothing else the jurors de-
sired to investigate, Judge Kelly ex-
cuSed the members from further serv-
ice until March 2. Another grand jury
will not be sworn in until the May
term of court and it was deemed adj
sivable by the court to have this jury
report again in March.
Indictments returned yesterday were
against Peter Conley, Timothy Foley
and Emil Johnson. Foley is charged
with stealing an Overcoat and $40 from
Matthias Clerf on the night of Deem
Der Is last. Foley, is indicted for
grand larceny in the. second degree,
being charged with the theft of three
turkies from Swan L. Johnson,
butcher. Johnson is also indicted on
charge of grand larceny in the second
degree. He is said to have relieved
S. Matson of 81 in a Rice street saloon
few evenings ago.
The grand jury failed to find bill
against Edward Bryant and Belle
Yeager, who had been arrested on a
charge of illicit Capitalization, preferred
against them by Lawrence Yeager, a
st. Peter farmer, who came to st. Paul
in search OF his wife and son.
The evidence against H. D. Summer
field, charged with grand larceny in
the second degree was insufficient to
secure an indictment, and no bill was
returned in This case.

ASSEMBLY PASSES
OWL CAR BILL
Schurmeier's Measure Is
Passed by One House
of Council.

"Owl cars" are certainty as far as
. the assembly is concerned. With three
members only, Assemblymen Van
Slyke, Haas and Whitcomb dissenting,
that body gave its approval to the meas
ure last night, and now all that re-
mains IS the sanction of the board of
aldermen.
The ordinance, which originated
with Assemblyman Schumacher, pro-
Vides that a car be run over every line
in the city every hour between mid
night and o'clock in the morning.
The company's franchise, which per-
mits council interference when the
convenience of the public is involved,
is the assembly's authority for its act
While three voted against it last
night, Assemblyman Haas was alone
in explaining his stand. He said that
the running of the cars all night would
bother the sick and the patients in the
hospitals, many Of which were adja-
cent to car lines.
The board Of aldermen IS not favor
able to the all night cars and it is eX-
pected that the street car company
Will make strenuous efforts to beat the
bill in that body Four members, it Is
known, will vote against the owl car
measure.
The assembly last night also passed
an ordinance calling for five and ten
minute service on the Lafayette and
Grand avenue street car line. Assem-
blyman Van Slyke made an effort to
have the measure sent to the commit
tee on streets, but failed Supt Bur-
dick, who was present, said that the
patrons were already enjoying a ten
minute service and he saw no reason
for the passage of the ordinance.
The legal department says that the
council can compel the maintenance of
the service demanded.
The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1903-01-16

Taking it's cue from other cities that
are now industriousiy trying to fol-
low in the footsteps of the member
from Missouri" the assembly last night
ordered an investigation of the coal
combine as far as it relates to st. Paul.
The initiative was taken by Assembly
man Whitcomb. and it was at his in
stance that the resolution above was
passed.
Ordinarily such a resolution is pro-
ductive of considerable discussion, but
not remark was made. 1t was re-
ceiVed in dignif1ed silence and given
the full vote of the members present.
It is expected that the board of alder
men will lend it's approval
What a council investigating COM
mittee can do in the line of making
public the things and persons respon-
S1ble for the excessive prices now de-
manded for both coal and wood is
limited, but DR.. Whitcomb says it can
at least find an opening by which the
grand jury may interest itself. The
council is limited in the matter of
compelling testimony.
President Haas, to whom is intrust-
ed the selection of the committee, says
he will name it as soon as the board
of aldermen has given it's approval to
the resolution.
There is something rotten in the st.
Paul coal and wood situation" said DR..
Whitcomb at the close of the session,
land 1 propose if possible to find it.
There is no good reason for the high
prices existing. What opened my eyes
was the 500 tons Of hard coal disposed
of the other day by a dealer for $12
a ton who ordinarily is lucky If he has
twenty tons in stock"

MAY EJECT OWNERS
FROM THE BOARDS
RIGHT OF WAY
Property Squatted
and on Which Many Build
ings Have Been Erected
Will Be Claimed by Later
Board-Title Is to Be In
yestigated by Legal De-
partment.

Fully seventy-fiVe property owners
now enjoying peaceful possession of a
strip of land about two hundred feet
wide, extending from Lake Phalen to
East Seventh street. are in Immediate
danger of excitement. Investigations
completed by the city engineering de-
partment yesterday developed the fact
that the holdings Of these property
owners are on ground the title to which
is invested in the st. Paul water board.
In 1869 the st. Paul Water company
by condemnation and purchase secured
a strip Of land several miles in length
for it's water main connecting city con-
sumers with the supply at Lake Phalen.
This right Of way was included in the
company's assets when 1t passed into
possession of the city.
Though the main was practically
abandoned years ago the right of way
was still maintained and when en-
croachments were reported about two
years ago an investigation was ordered.
This investigation completed yesterday
developed the fact that the greater part
of the strip has been taken possession
of by private parties and in many places
is covered with buildings OF a sub
stantial character. Among the big
structures are the East end barns and
power house of the street car company,
the factory and sheds Of the Bohn
Manufacturing company and the yards
and plant of the Gribben Lumber COM
pany. Adjacent to these three compa-
MES and their holdings are sheds and
brick buildings innumerable.
In some instances the water depart
ment has granted the right to parties
to build on the strip, but in the ma
jority of the cases those now enjoying
possession simply 'squatted."
While the main has been abandoned
the water boards right to the strip is
unquestioned and the legal department
has been asked to act with view Of
either collecting rent or eject1ng the
tenants. The street car company pow
er house lays directly across the right
of way and the same is the case with
the two other firms.

Proposed Bill Is Discussed.

The State Good Roads association,
with an attendance of about forty, la
bored long and earnestly yesterday and
last evening in the council chamber at
the city hall on the crusade they have
undertaken to promote. 1t was the
ninth annual session and the two meet
ingS were filled with business
Papers quite lengthy and matters de-
cidedly technical occupied the two seS-
sions, and it was at a late hour last
night when adjournment was reached.
Perhaps the only matter of interest to
the few outsiders attracted was the
visit of Gov. Van SAINT, who, in a char
acteristic speech, welcomed the dele
gates and pledged them his aid in Sc
curing the reforms desired. Mayor
Smith also rendered them welcome
and the freedom of the city, and said if
there was anything "he did stand for it
was good roads"
George w. Cooley, Of Minneapolis,
one of the pioneers in the good roads
movement, presided, and in his OPEN
ing address at the morning session
too occasion to congratulate the dele
gates on the success of the movement
so far. In his remarks he spoke Of the
use of convict labor and advocated it
to the extent of having them prepare
the material used in road construction.
He was opposed to having them en-
plOyed direct on the roads.
Mr.. Cooley was followed by Ole Pc
terson, of the Nicollet County Good
Roads association, and A. B. Choate,
! both of whom devoted their remarks
to legislative aid and the necessity Of
cooperation by the farmers. Mr..
| ChOate paid some caustic tributes to

MIDGET MAJOR SIGHS
F0RTINY MISS LEWIS
Romance of LiIIiputians Spoiled by
Obdurate Young Woman.

Maj. James D. Doyle, of the Royal
Lilliputians, who takes the part Of Mr..
Dooley, "a sporty old boy, and some
what of sparker,' puts a deal Of feel
ing in his song, I'm Unlucky," which
he sings in the first act of Poster
land"
Maj. Doyle will not admit the i'm
parchment, but the members of the
company and Manager Kelly are au-
thority for the statement that the ma
jor is head over heels in love with one
of the tiny women of the organization.
The young woman for whom Maj.
Doyle is signing as hard as one of his
size can sigh, is Miss Inez Lewis, who
is considerably smaller in stature than
even the major, and that. is getting
pretty near the ground.
When Miss Lewis, who takes the
part of Miss Larks, sings her song,
Roses and Lilies" the major takes a
position in the wings and appears to
enjoy the song more than the audience.
Miss Lewis, who is a native of Iowa,
has declared, before the company not
only once but many times, that the
man [ marry must be a full Pledged
American" and this declaration. causes
Maj. Doyle to look glun, for report
has it that he is a native of the En-
erald isle.
Manager Kelly, when questioned last
evening about the romance, said there
were half a dozen of the male members
of the company, who appeared to have
more than passing regard for Miss
Lewis, but her talk about the American
qualifications of the man she would
marry had a very depressing effect.
''The members of the company were
the guests Of the Selby Bowling club
this afternoon" said Mr.. Kelly, and
the men were very anxious to show the
little women that they were experts on
the alleys. Miss Lewis occupied one
of the front seats while the game was
in progress, and some wonderful scores
were being made, when it was sudden
ly discovered that she had left the
game. Her exit brought the game to
a close much sooner than was expect
