up last summer by a lighting firm in order
to make a practical test in this city Of the

Great is the woe of the family OF

lily name large on the dark page Of

Sabet is only one of the little Mikes,
but, while Keeping up the family prize

Mikes went to the city hospital. Sabet
went to the police station.
Mike, the elder and pioneer In the
family hard-luck business, entered into
an argument with gentleman named
Mike whose ancestral halls were not IN
Syria. A spade figured in the argu-
ment and the head of the Mike family
retired to the city hospital with a brok-
en- head.
Then Deet Mike, temporary head of
the family, suffered severe concus-
sion with large mans foot and was
carried away to keep hts father melan-

FUEL DEALERS
ROAST B[YANS
Say They Have NotBeen Cheat
ing the Public by Short
Weight.

The small fuel dealers of st. Paul do
not take kindly to the statement of Mar
ketmaster Bevans that many of them
short weight their coal.
Indignant at accusations made by Mr..
BeVans before the joint committee on
markets at its meeting last Friday, TWEEN
ty of the thirty or more small dealers met
last night in the New York life build
ing and severely denounced the state
ments of Mr.. Bevans.
The meeting was of an executive ma
ture, but at the close resolutions Of a
denunciatory nature were handed out
to the papers for publication. The mem
bers contend that, while they cannot
speak for every dealer in st. Paul. yet,
as whole, correct weights are always
given. They say that Mr.. Bevans in at
lacking one or two dealers has brought
the entire profession into disrepute, and
that his broad statements has severely
hurt them as body.
How seriously the members of the
council committees take Mr.. Bevans'
statements is shown by the fact that
the corporation attorney has been in
strueted to write to the leading cities
and secure from them copies of law in
use relating to inspection of weights and
measures, together with the penalties for
the violation of the same.
1t is proposed to select from the num-
Der such features as will be applicable to
ST. Paul and incorporate the whole into
a law that will protect both dealer and
consumer The small dealers at last
nights meeting said that they would
gladly welcome such a law and would
give the city every aid in its drafting.

BOND ISSUE MAY
FAIL IN ASSEMBLY
That Body Yesterday Laid the
Matter Over After FruitIess
Discussion.

The proposal to issue $4,000 worth
Of Improvement bonds by the city is
in danger of defeat at the hands of
the assembly.
For nearly an hour yesterday after
noon the committee on streets of the
assembly juggled the ordinance pro-
V1ding for the issue, and finally in des-
peration laid the entire matter over for
two weeks.
In anticipation of a visit from rep
resentatives of the Commercial club
the ordinance was kept in waiting I'M
til the last minute, when Assembly
man Schurmeier proposed that it be
laid over until they could be heard
from.
"Well. I can speak for the Com
mercial club" interrupted Assembly
man Arnold. '"They stand neutral on
the proposition"
DO you represent the Commercial
club?" inquired one of the MEMBERS
mo, but 1 will take the responsible
ity of speaking for them,' answered
Mr.. Arnold.
At this juncture the proposition to
lay over was advanced. but it failed
on tie vote.
Kill the ordinance" suggested AS
semblyman Arnold
The vote was taken, but like the first
1t failed on a tie vote. Assemblymen
Schiffmann, Arnold and Schurmeier
voted to do SO, but their action was
offset by that of Assemblymen Rosen,
Wheeler and Van Slyke.
Next some one made a motion to
pass the measure, and like the other
two it failed of passage. 1t was on
this that the suggestion to lay over
was made, and in desperation it was
agreed to. -, III.
From yesterdays meeting it is prac-
tically certain that Assemblymen
Schurmeier. Arnold and Schiffmann
will not vote for the issue, and in that
event it will fail, as three fourths
vote is necessary. At the meeting
yesterday Assemblyman Wheeler
asked to be excused from voting on
the passage of the ordinance author
izing the issue of bonds. and it is pre-
sumed that he will vote against 1t
when final consideration is had.

PARK BOARD GIVES
OUT AN ULTIMATUM
Board of Public Works May Defeat PhaIen
Park Improvements.

If the board Of public works does not
hurry up and get busy regarding the grad
ing of Forest street the park board will
abandon its proposed improvements for
Phalen park.
An ultimatum to this effect was yes
terday afternoon served upon the board
by the park commission, and it is ex-
pected that it will have its effect to the
extent of bringing half of the East end
down upon the board if it does not pro-
coed to act at once.
Nearly four months ago the board of
public works at the request of the park
commission placed contract with
Thomas Linnan for the grading of Forest
street. This was the thoroughfare by
which the street car company was to ex-
tend its system to the park, but up to
today not a shovehul of earth has been
turned by the contractor, and there is
nothing to show when he ever will do it.
Contingent upon the construction of the
car line the park board placed contracts
for the installation Of nearly $4,000 worth
of amusement features in Phalen park,
but now with the street not graded and
no car line in sight they threaten TO
abandon the whole thing. They say that
if the work is not done this fall there
can be no opening of the park in time for
next years season. If left until spring
the work could not be completed before
next fall and that would be too late
An indignation meeting was held by the
park commission yesterday afternoon and
some strong language regarding the diia-
tory action of the contractor INDUCED
in The East end has been banking
heavily on the opening of Phalen park,
and if they are disappointed this year the
members say there will be trouble for
somebody.
Linnan, when he took the contract, un-
derbid the other contractors about 81, 600.
He does his own work and the board of
public works, because of his extremely low
bid, gave him the job without question.
The job should have been completed Aug.
9, but up to date it has not even been
touched.
East end residents are now preparing
against Linnan's bondsmen. SIS
