ROGERSSAYS WONT
City Controller Won't Sign Warrants
Till Bond Money Is in
Hand.
The City Engineer Is Inclined to Sc
cure Materials on a Contin-
gent Basis.

City Controller Rogers announces that
he will not countersign any contracts in
volving the use OF money from yesterday S
bond sale until the bonds have been actu-
ally sold to the bidder. This puts the
city engineer In a dilemma, because con-
tractors are not falling over themselves
to do business with the city.
They have enough to do, and l am not
sure that they will welcome chance to
furnish materials to this city on con-
tingent basis said Mr.. Rinker this morn
ing. Nevertheless, the time Is so short
that am inclined to attempt to get sup
plies in this way.
Third avenue S, from Fifth street tc
Grant, should be paved this fall, as should
the Marshall street approaches to the
Plymouth and Twentieth avenue N
bridges.
This work cannot be done under fifty
days, and I have seen paving season
close here as early as Oct. 10. Then there
Is the macadamizing Of Fifth street Sc
from Central to Fifteenth avenues, an6
several minor jobs which have been walt
in gall season for this bond SALE
If the council sees 1t will try to gel
the material moving this way at once
even tho the bond sale has not been actu.
ally concluded"
At yesterdays sale the 100000 per-
manent improvement and revolving fund
four per cents went to w. A. Halsey & Co.
OF New York at a premium and accrued
interest amounting in ali to S12,210. The
100000 water works bonds paying three
and one-half per cent were taken by the

A JOKE ON HIMSELF
New York Tribune.


DR.. Chaplin, the late alienist, was ex-
ceedingly fond Of a practical joke, and hs
used to relate the story of one which was
of the boomerang order, and which re-
acted upon himself. He was personally
conducting a young and beautiful woman
from her home to his private institution
when a young physician who was known to
him entered the parlor car The young
woman patient was of the quiet order and
her malady was not noticeable to the unin-
, formed. save when certain subjects were
touched upon. On the other hand the
young physician who joined them on the
car regarded himself as a pronounced lady
killer. DR.. Chaplin introduced them, and
after directing the conversation for mo-
ment or two, excused himself to smoke a
cigar. When he returned his friend called
him aside and whispered:
Chaplin, do you know, I believe that
Iyoung woman is crazy"
Good heavens" exclaimed the alienist.
What makes you think that?'
''Why, this: I happened to remark upon
what a fine man you are, whereupon she
replied: Well he ought to be- He's the
| only really sane man in the universal
| least that Is his opinion. ]"

(Thomas) Murphy, St. Paul householder in
speaking of animal which he was trying to
sell to Deacon Perkins (Asa) Wilcox, of
Minneapolis.
Mr.; Wilcox looked the horse over carefully,
but he was not a good judge Of horse flesh
and decided to trust to the traders judg-
ment in the matter. After making an in
spection of the animal and failing to find
anything the matter with him he paid $165
and took the horse. Murphy took the money,
handed the reins to Wilcox and hastily dis
appeared. " ~
Get up said Wilcox go long" but
the horse never stirred Instead, he braceI
his feet obstinatey and shook his head. The
whip had no effect and then Wilcox suddenly
realized that his horse really would
stand without hitching and that woman
could drive him as we'll as a man" for no
human being could induce that horse to
move.
Mr.. Wilcox sought out the county attorney
and told him of the traders misleading rec
omm dations. warrant was issued for
Murphy's arrest and he appeared in police
court this morning to answer to the charge
Of securing money under false pretenses.
Assistant County Attorney Wilson asked
that the case be dismissed, explaining that

MUTINY ON THE LAKE
Why the Georges Engineer Dis
obeyed Orders When the
Steamer Struck.
Threatened to Brain the Pilot Who
Ordered the Engines
Started.
Mutiny on Minnetonka!

Mutiny on Minnetonka!
But Walter j. Stewart. engineer of the
steamer, George, says he chose to mutiny
rather than to blow up the boat.
After the last of the excursionists had
been taken off the stranded steamer at 2
a. m. yesterday and the George had been
pulled off the reef by the Puritan, Stewart
thought it all over and decided that he had
been right in refusing to go ahead as or
dered by the pilot.
When the George poked her nose away up
on Horseshoe Reef, Stewart stopped the en-.
gines. Down came the pilot:
start those engines"
NO said Stewart. He knew the intakes
of the injectors were clear of the water and
believed that more firing meant the boilers
would blow up. So he promptly pulled the
fire and used steam as long as it lasted In
signal whistles for help.
The difference Of opinion as to the thing to
do made the situation tense. The pilot per-
sisted in his orders to start the engines and
made as II to enter the engine room.
Stewart gathered up large wrench menac-
ingly. You come in here" he said, land
I'll brain YOU
Meantime other boats were answering the
distress signals and all the boats crew were
soon busy helping the excursonists into
other craft
1t is hardly probable that the pilot and the
engineer will continue to navigate the George
together. Which of the two will have his
Judgment approved by the owners has not
yet been announced.

SIXTH STREET SALOON LAW
1t viii be Tested In Case Begun by
Dennis Horqan. -.-

Dennis Morgan has petitioned the dis
trict court for peremptory writ Of man
damus to compel the city council to grant
him saloon license a "a Sixth Street s.
The license was refused on the grounds
that the state law provides that no more
than five saloons can be operated in this
block. Horgan, represented by s. H.
Chase, says that this law is unconstitu-
tional. City Attorney Healey in answer
to the petition, sets up that the granting
of saloon licenses within the city is a
discretionary power vested in the city
council and that the court has no juris-
diction to compel the granting of license.
The constitutionality Of the Sixth street
law will be argued by a representative of
the Sixth street property owners. The
hearing of the case is set for next Thurs
day morning. ,I .

Special to The Journal.
New York, Aug. 1.-THE Suns attack
on President Roosevelt and it's suggestion
that he ask for legislation to abolish the
bureau Of corporations has caused a SEN
sation. The Press this morning says:
THE common point of view of Wall
street spectators Is that Roosevelt is re-
sponsible for the stock slump. but If the
president had never begun his antitrust
program tn eslump would have occurred
just the same. Neither Roosevelt nor
congress could make rotten stock sound
by legislation or lack of It,"
The Wall Street Journal says: In en-
deavoring to place upon Roosevelt the re-
sponsibility for the conditions existing in
market the Sun puts itself alongside Of
Bryan who predicted a financial panic to
connect Roosevelt and disturbed condi-
lions in Wall street as cause and effect Is
preposterous."
The Sun to-day makes another attack
on Roosevelt, says he lacks element of
business sense or intuition
