MR.. FLETCHER'S BUSY DAY
He Calls on the Government to Sup
ply Minneapolis With Eigh-
teen New Carriers.
From The Journal Bureau, Room IS, Post Build.

From The Journal Bureau Room IS, Post Build
ing, Washington,
Washington, June 9.-Former Congress
man Fletcher of Minneapolis is spending
several days in Washington on public mat
tiers of interest to the Hennepin district.
To see him running about the departments
here, one would hardly think him an ex-
congressman.
He saw the postoffice people this morn
| ing about the seven additional rural free
delivery routes needed to complete Hen
| nepin county's service, and was told that
| they were to be established, but probably
| not as early as July 1, the investigation
| now under way in the department having
put many matters of free delivery bust
ness in the back ground temporarily. The
seven routes will be located as follows
.Robbinsdale, one; Osseo, two; Maple
| Plain, one; Minnetonka Mills, two; Has
sac, one.
Mr.. Fletcher asked for fifteen addi-
tional clerks, but was told that they would
have to investigate the carrier requeset,
whereupon Mr.. Fletcher increased his re-
quest from fifteen to eighteen, saying that
an investigation would certainly establish
| that at least eighteen carriers were
| needed. The investigation will be made
at once.
Mr.. Fletcher will spend tomorrow at
| the war department looking UP matters
connected with Fort Smelling and river
| improvements at and near Minnea polls.
To morrow night he will start for home.
| Representative Stevens of st. Paul, who
| will be here next week, will take up this
river and Fort Smelling work where Mr..
| Fletcher will leave off.
| At the request of Mr.. Fletcher, James
c. Plant, chief Of the computing division
| Of the supervising architects office, will
/ go to Minneapolis next week to look over
| the federal building and examine the
| work now in progress there. 1t is pro-
i posed to make several minor changes in
1 the plans which will reduce the cost and
at the same time give more room for en-
i ployes.

SHERIFP's SALARY CASE
The Mandamus Affecting Pay Of
New Deputies Is Argued
at Length.

Chief Deputy Sheriff Arthur D. Jones
and Assistant County Attorney G. L.
Smith this morning presented to Judge
Pond their respective views as to whether
the recently appointed members of the
sheriffs force should receive pay. The
question was finally taken under advise
ment.
The hearing came up on an alternative
writ of mandamus issued upon applica-
ton Of Otto Langum, citing County Audi
tor Hugh F. Scott to show cause why the
salaries of the relator and other new en-
ployes had not been paid. The sheriff s
contention was that the fund for the pay
ment Of all salaries provided for by law
should be used for the new salaries and
that if this fund was insufficient, the
emergency fund could be drawn upon.
He further held that even tho these sal
aries are to be paid out Of funds not
otherwise appropriated, there was no
difficulty since there Is $4,000 In the
county treasury at present, collected from
delinquent taxes Of 1901 and not appropri-
ated by the county commissioners.
Mr.. Smith argued that the salary fund
was specifically meant for the salaries OF
officials employed at the beginning Of the
year and that no one else was entitled to
be paid out Of it; that should this fund
be exhausted by paying these salaries, no
emergency would exist and all Of the Off
GERS would be forced to go without their
pay. He held, further, that the $4,000
derived from unappropriated delinquent
taxes, had been taken into consideration
by the county commissioners and that
it must be appropriated as fast as turned
into the treasury. The county attorney
stated that according to his view there
would be no money with which to pay the
salaries of the new deputies until the
whole s422,675 appropriated for the year
= III !. f4%n
would not be forthcoming. This wou1c
cause a deficit and the emergency fund
| would have to be drawn upon for cour1
expenses before the end Of the year.

ROCK ISLAND FEEDER
The Cedar Rapids Is Sufficient es

!. New York, June Crock Island author
titles say that having been supplied by the
Burlington. Cedar Rapids & Northern
with asroad which serves them as very
god substitute for the Desmoine & Fort
Dodge, the lease of the latter will not
be renewed on Its expiration three years
hence.
1t is stated that even had the Cedar
Rapids road not been acquired, the Rock
Island would have been content with the
,Des Moines & Fort Dodge. It was prac-
tically decided at the time the Hooley par
ty acquired an interest in the road that
a new line should he built unless fovora-
bic arrangements could be made on the
expiration Of the lease. The new line
would not have involved any serious en-
lgineering difficulties. AS the Cedar Rap
Ids now supplies the suitable line, no new

TRIED TO BUY HIM OFF
Louis Roberts Says Lulu Richard
i sons Friends Wanted to
Bride Him.

A case of attempted bribery came to
light in police court this morning in con-
nection with the trial Of Lulu Richardson,
arrested on the complaint of Louis Rob-
'erts. She was arraigned on a charge Of
being a common prostitute, but the pri-
mary cause Of her arrest was the fact
that Roberts accused her of stealing $40
from him in a wineroom on Washington
avenue S.
The officer who arrested her testified
that at the station she admitted the
specific charge, but said she would not
stand for being called a thief. She denied
this in court, but the testimony resulted
in a sentence Of sixty days.
Roberts said that after he had caused
the woTnan's arrest he was approached by
two men who offered him money if he
would not appear against her.
