GIVES COURT A TALK
AND GETS 90 DAYS
Tom lreton Receives Extreme Penalty
for Keeping DisorderIy House.

Tom Ireton, convicted last week of
running disorderly house, was yes
terday sentenced by Judge Kelly to
serve three months in the workhouse
without the option Of a fine. Ireton's
sentence had been deferred pending
the decision handed down by Judge
Brill In the GroZovSky case.
Ireton conducted a saloon at Eighth
and Jackson streets, and was last
week convicted Of having run a dis
orderly house. When brought into
court yesterday to be sentenced, Ire
ton made a speech to the court re-
CARELESS Of the endeavors of his at
torney to have him remain quiet
L was glad to know you were to
try this case, judge" said Ireton to
Judge Kelly, because 1 always knew
Judge Kelly to be fair and square. 1
knew you would give me a square deal
OF course, If you want to send me out
TO the workhouse, all right; but why
get after Tom Ireton? There are 9TH
ers in st. Paul, and if you want to
make this a clean city I will help YOU
But know you will give me a square
deal, judge"
Judge Kelly listened to Ireton's
speech without interrupting the speak
er. When Ireton had finished, Judge
Kelly said:
Il want you to understand that this
court will not countenance any such
talk. You have been found guilty, and
the sentence Of the court is that you
serve three months in the workhouse
without the option of fine"
The case against James Hogan, on
the same charge, was next taken up,
a jury being secured yesterday.

MAX GROzOVSKY
GETS NO RELIEF
Judge Brill Holds Work
House Sentence of Bath
house Man Legal.

Judge Brill yesterday denied the
writ of habeas corpus sued out by Max
Grozovsky, the bath house keeper, and
declared the Judgment Of the court in
sentencing Grozovslzy to the work
house for ninety days to be right and
legal. The matter will be taken to the
supreme court on an appeal and in
the meantime. the keeper Of the Sher-
burne avenue bath house will be al
lowed his freedoms upon furnishing bail
in the sum of 5000. This bail was fur
nished yesterday, and Grozovsky will
be at liberty until the case is settled
by the supreme, court.
In denying the writ Judge Brill said
that the legal question raised on the
writ was an important one, and he
felt that, while he had examined it
with what Care he could in the brief
space of time accorded him, the point
raised was q not entirely free from
doubt. Judge Brill expected that the
case would1Jbe appealed to the SUI

PUTS AMEND TO THE
LANDLORDS RAKE-OFF
Water Department Charges Every
Family for Water Used.


Because of.the new rule inaugurated
the first of the year which entails an
additional cost~of % cents per family
where there is more than one family
in house enjoying city water, the
water board yesterday was deluged
with protests from consumers.
Several irate women made their APP
pearance before the board and the
members had hard work in explaining
the new rule. With some the eXpla-
nation would not go and they left
threatening vengeance.
Under the old rule house enjoying
city water was charged only for what
the meter indicated plus meter rent,
which was 10 cents per month. No
bill was made out for less than 20 cents
and as this will provide about 1900
gallons, it was, found that in the cheap
er flats and apartment houses the land
lords were selling the excess and pock-
citing the profit. To offset this a min
imum charge of 25 cents for each fam
lily was made and it was this that
caused the protests yesterday.

BIG CONTRACTING
FIRM DISSOLvE
John NJ. Schwartz Retires
From Firm of A. Guthrie
& Co., Ry. Contractors.

Widespread interest was created yes
terday by the announcement, bald and
terse, that the partnership heretofore
existing between Archibald Guthrie,
Charles Ffolliott and John M.
Schwar tz, doing business under the
firm name and style of A. Guthrie &
Co, had been dissolved.
This does not mean that the we'll
known firm of railway contractors, A.
Guthrie & Co., are going out of bust
ness. 1t simply means that John Nj.
Schwartz is retiring, but the business
will be carried on as usual "at the old
stand" by the remaining partners, Mr..
Guthrie and Mr.. Ffolliott.
The reasons why Mr.. Schwartz ere
tired" are not stated. Inquiry at the
Offices of the firm yesterday failed to
disclose the cause, while Mr.. Schwartz
himself was less communicative than
an oyster. He had nothing more to
say than that the reason was his
business and not that of anybody else.
This much, however, was learned.
There has been for some months some
friction between the partners which
eliminated in November or December
in a decision being arrived at that
Mr.. SchWartz'S interest should be pur-
chased by the other partners. Natural
ly it took some time to arrive at the
basis of settlement in so large a con-
Germ, and it was not until Monday
that everything was in shape to per-
nit of the announcement being made
All outstanding matters having then
been adjusted, the public was informed
that the partnership had been dis
solved and that Mr.. Guthrie would per-
soPally assume the responsibility for
outstanding accounts.
The firm of A. Guthrie & Co. has
been in business since 1896. 1t was
formed by Foley Brothers and Guthrie,
railway contractors and bankers, car
rying on business in the West general
ly, with headquarters at st. Paul
The members of the firm were Thomas
Foley, Timothy Foley, Archibald Guth-
RE and Charles J. Ffolliott.
Amongst their investments, the firm
owned a bank at st. Cloud, Mimi. and
John M. Schwartz was cashier of this
institution. The firm had been in bus
mess for. some fifteen years, during
which period they had handled some
extensive contracts for the Northern
Pacific and Great Northern railways,

walked into police court yesterday aft
ernoon and requested Judge Hine to
send him to the poor house.

Dick was at one time very we'll to
do, but when old age came on he was
compelled to dispose Of his belongings
until he finally had nothing left except
his violin, which he refuses to part
with. He was sent to the poor farm
once before, but escaped and was soon
pack in town begging. Instead of send
ing him back to the poor farm judge
Hine sent him to the workhouse for
thirty days.

PARIS, June At has been a long time
since the re ,eption Of new member OF the
French Academy excited such interest as
that Of Edmond Rostand. the poet and
dra matist, author of -C'yrano de Barge rae,
Il Aiglon" and other masterpieces
The Ma zarin Palace, where the "Immcr-
tails assemble, holds nearly fifteen hundred
persons, and every foot Of the space was
filed. Among the several thousands who
failed to gain admission. a large number
vain)y tried TO bribe OF cajole the minor
officials TO procure seate for them.
Before midnight last night hired men
portcrs and messengers began to assemble
at tho Mazlrin Palace to procure seats and
kept their place, in the line until they got
the tickets, which in soma cases was not
until the afternoon
NJ Rostand arrived at the appointed hour
this Afternoon in a hired cab. He wore q
great Spanish cloak which was thrown over
the uniform of the Academy, with its gor-
yeous green and gold embroidery. At his
side was a court sword with gilded handle.
II was universally acknowledged that he was
the best dressed Acadamician on record.
Occupying the stall Of his deceased pred
ecessor. Henri de Bornier. which is num-
bered 49, and of which by coincidence he
is the thirteenth occupant, NJ, Rostand de-
livered the Grafton required on such occa-
sions. He spoke in prose, although he
declared he was never more tempted to in
dulse in heroic poetry,
His speech was picturesque in style and
earned repeated applause not only from
his friendly audiences. but also from the
more critical Academicians.
In the course OF his address he gave his
own ideas Of the theatre which are on an
exalted plane. and which are partly indi-
Gated by an epigram he pronounced as
follows: sOne does not write plays for
those unhappy persons who remember the
authors name when q hero comes upon
