SURRY STREET DAM
TO BE CONSTRUCTED
Aldermen Give Permission for Grading
Of Street to River.


Work on the second dam in the Sc
ries which the government has planned
for the improvement of the upper Mis-
sissippi river is to be commenced
shortly.
Last night at the request of Maj.
Hoxie, the engineer in charge, the
board of aldermen gave permission for
the grading of Surrey street from
Cleveland avenue to the river. This
street leads direct to the locality where
the lock and dam will be constructed,
and it is Maj. Hoxse's intention to use
it in the hauling of needed material for
the improvement. The war department
will pay the cost of grading.
The Meeker island dam is now prac-
tically complete and work will be COM
menced at once moving the tools and
other machinery used in its eonstruc-
ton to the spot selected for the other
structure. The place is not far from
Fort Smelling.

MORE CITIZENS
TESTIFY TO NEED OF
A CROSSTOWN LINE
Well Known Business M e n
Agree That 1t Is a Necessity

Streets Preferred.

Additional evidence of the universal
desire of the citizens of st. Paul for a
cross town street car line and their be-
lief that such line is needed, is pre-
sented herewith in the shape Of inter-
views with a score of wei known men
prominent in business and official life.
Everyone of them favors the construc-
ton of a line that will directly con-
meet the West Seventh street district
with Como avenue, though they oc-
casionally differ as to the most feasible
route. Following are the expressions
of opinion obtained by T he Glob e
yesterday:
Frank Schlick Jr., of Field, schlick
& Co.-While I have not given the
route of a cross-town scar line much
thought, such line has always seemed
to me very badly needed. Any one
who looks at the situation at all must
see that all our car Nles are parallel
from the center of town. In order to
get from the West Seventh street dis.

I lives on the Selby avenue line, for ex-
! ample, to reach point on the Rondo
| street line or get to one of the fnterur-
| ban lines without riding all the way
down town and then all the way up
town again.
E. D. Libbey, Adjutant General
am in favor Of the project. / don't see
that it would make great deal of DIFF
ference in a general way-that is, as a
matter Of public OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
the new line should run along Dale or
Victoria or some other street, and per-
haps in the construction work it would
make great deal of difference to the
street railway company. think there
should be line running across the
city at some point on the hill, for now
the city feels the need of such con-
venience.
w J. Donahower, Assistant Attor-
ney General am convinced that a
cross town street car line is a necessity
and would improve the service of every
other line with which it might con-
meet. To great many people it would
of course be merely an occasional con-
venience, but others would find it a
regular utility.
Aid. Dobner - have talked of a
cross-tow line for years, but we do
not want it at Dale street. Smelling
bring the cars opposite the fair grounds
and If connection with Como park was
desired passengers could transfer to,
the cars on University and Como ave-.
nue. going east. We want the line at
Smelling avenue, and if an ordinance
calling for it is presented l will vote
for it. Two cross-lines would be bet
ter, but get the one on Smelling avenue
first.
ip1y e.fo ,,1 fn1
town line. We need it, Don't spoil
Dale street. however. Select some
other street
Aid. Corning-The improvement is
one needed badly. Such a line would
accommodate thousands of people. 1t
would benefit real estate also. We
can't get line any too soon.
James Burns - want to see a
crosstown line at Smelling avenue.
That is the place it should be if only
one is built We certainly need it.
There can be no argument against it,
The street car company would kick, of
course, but if the council is determined
we will get the line soon enough.
Peter Van Hoven-The Fifth ward
would certainly welcome a cross-town
line. 1t needs the Improvement bad,
enough. Just think, person on
West Seventh street has to make near
ly five-mi1e detour in order to reach
Como park They can't have a cross
town line any too soon for me-
John Grode-It is something that is
badly needed. st. Paul has been need
ing one or two cross lines for years.
Dale street could hardly be used, but
there are other streets that would do
as well. There should be one at Vic
toria street also.
Aid. Rohland-I could not live in the
Fifth ward and not favor cross town
car line. 1t is something the Fifth
ward has been wanting for years. 1t
should not be beyond Victoria street.
Any further out would only benefit
few farmers. 1t will get my vote every
time.
Aid. Holt live in the east end,
but can readily see how the west end
would be benefited by one or two
cross town car lines. 1t is a good thing
and the people up there are entitled
to it.

FIRE is ATTENDED
BY SERIOUS RESULTS
Aged Woman Suffers Collapse
and Cottage and Barn Are
Destroyed.


One small cottage in ashes, one barn
totally destroyed two houses badly
damaged, and an aged woman at the
verge Of collapse from excitement due
to a narrow escape from being burned,
are the results of a fire that broke out
in or near the barn in the rear of 1913
Harrison avenue, last night at II
o'clock. The aggregate damage caused
by the fire is estimated at about $500.
The barn in the rear of the resi-
dence Of Mark Gillespie, 1876 Harrison
avenue which was completely destroy
ed, was occupied by two horses be-
longing to Fred Burns, 295 Sturgis
street, but they were rescued by two
boys, Pat Gillespie and John Dahell,'
when the fire was discovered.
Beside the barn was a small cottage,
owned by Daniel Cashill, and occu-
pied by Mrs. Anne McHugh, an aged

SIXTH WARDERS
AGAINST BONDS
Ask Their AssembIyman to Op.
pose the Proposed Issue
of 100000.

The Sixth Ward Improvement asso-
citation, at its meeting last night, de-
cided to ask Assemblyman Rosen to
vote against the proposed issue sof
100000 in bonds for the permanent
Improvement Of the city, and also to
request that the West side be given
better streets.
THE streets on our side Of the river"
said member of the association, "are
something which should be given i'm
mediate attention. Some of them are
impossible, and no matter how much
we complain, nothing is done for us.
Some Of our streets are nothing more
than mudheles and we are going to
have them fixed up if there is any way
to do so.''
The association voted to oppose the
proposed issue of 100000 in bonds for
the permanent improvement of the
city, and request will be sent to As
semblyman Rosen, asking him to vote
against the same.

SOLDIERS HOME
WILL SOON BE AN
IDLE PROPERTY.
Inspector General Burton Says
This Is the Outlook, Judging
From Reports---In the City
Today on His First Tour of
Inspection.

The national home for disabled VOL
splendid institutions, erected at the
cost of many millions and maintained
at an annual expense of from $6,000,-
600 to $10,000,OOo, will soon have served
it's purpose and be useless as home.
This, says Brig. Gen. G. H. Burton,
inspector general of the army. is the
gist of the reports made'to him by the
governors of the several national home
institutions.
Gen. Burton is in st. Paul incident
to his tour of inspection of the soldiers
home and the; transaction of confiden-
tial business entrusted to him by the
secretary of war. Today he will visit
Fort Smelling, and in the evening leave
for Milwaukee.
Gen. Burton's present tour is being
made preparatory to the regular con-
ference with the congressional COM
mlttee on appropriations. 1t Is Gen.
Burton's first tour of inspection since
he became the head of his department,
last April.
& The national home for disabled vol
unteer soldiers consists of branches at
Dayton Ohio; Togas, Me-; Milwaukee;
Danyille, Ill; Marion. Ind: Fort Leav-
enworth, Kan: Thomasyille. Tenn;
Old Point Comfort. Va. and the new
home at Santa Monica. Cal. The sew
eral branches are equipped for the ac-
commodation Of over 10000 inmates,
and have an enrolment Of $4,000. This
enrolment does not truly represent the
present population of the home, but is
the roll of present and absent Veter-
ans once enrolled in the home are car
ried on the roster until their death is
reported.
The average age of the inmates of
the home is about seventy years, and
the governors observation is that at
the end of a decade the mission Of the
home will be gone. the Grand Army of
the Republic will have answered to the
last muster. What disposition will
then be made ofSthe immense property
devoted to the home is problem.
Only a very small portion Of it will be
necessary for the accommodation of
the veterans of the Spanish American
war volunteers, and the regular army
home at Washington is entirely ade-
quate to the needs of the small stand
ing army.
Gen. Burton Is an old Indian fighter,
and will today, for the first time in
many years, visit the Twenty-first in
organize Immediately after the. Civil
war. Gen. Burton was then a line Off
Ger with the Second battalion of the
Twelfth infantry, which was made the
nucleus of the new Twenty first.
Eighteen years ago he entered the
staff as an officer of the inspector gen.
erals department, of which he became
the head by appointment and seniority

MAYOR nAKK1soN.s PLEA
lie Tells why Chicago Asks Traction Leg
isIation of the Soions.


When the house committee on mu-
nicipaI corporations met ut ? p. IN.
Mayor Harrison was the first Go speak.
He declared that the Legislation asked
on traction matters was asked by n
large majority of the. people of Chi
cago and tliat-"We ask this legisla-
ton at your hands first in behalf of
the people OF Chicago. as in this. in
my opinion lies the only true solution
of the handling of public utilities of
large community; and, second, because
we are anxious, as soon rs possible, to
take up the vexatious question of the
extensions of the existing franchises
and settle the question which has been
disturbing the people of Chicago now
for the past six years"
After the mayor was done Nohe said:
IL would like to ask question: Why
do you desire municipal ownership leg
islation in order to extend the fran
chiseS of the traction companies of
Chicagog"
Mayor Harrison-We would like to
have that legislation uassed prior to
the granting of franchises in order that
the franchises may be based in that
way; or that the franchises may con-
tain a clause permitting the city at
some time during the life of the fran
chise to take over these lines. We
would like TO have the matter settled
prior to the granting of the franchises,
rather than allow it to pass and then
compel us TO seek legislation after the
franchises have been granted.
s.fs,s,
| ownership aud not extend the fran
chises of the traction companies in the
city of Chicago?
Mayor Harrison - There are legal
complications in the way of that which
would take too much time to discuss
here today, notably the ninety nine
year act. 1t will be necessary first TO
take up the ninety nine-year act, and
find what the companies rights are,
and, secondly, the city has not today
the necessary funds to take it over.
The delegation was piled with ques-
lions and when the hearing adjourned
the matter had been threshed over
pretty thoroughly. One question asked
John NJ. Harlan was by Browne: "Do
you believe in municipal ownership
Harlan-That is not what we are
asking now. Laughter
Allen-I object to that question.
Harlan-I do not object If you
will allow me full control of myself
subject to the rules of this house 1 do
| not ask for protection. Laughter
