MOVE TO SUPPRESS
TUBERCULOSIS
Association Is Formed in Minneapolis

DR.. H. NJ. Bfacken, secretary of the
state board Of health, who was at a
meeting in Minneapolis last week ap-
pointed chairman of a committee to
perfect the organization of an asso-
citation for the suppression of tubercu-
losis, has appointed as the five lay
members of his committee j. r. King
man, George Christian, F. b. Wells, E.
L. Carpenter and D. P. Jones.
The members of the committee ap-
pointed at the meeting were all physi-
clans of Minneapolis, DR.. II. M.

This movement applies locally to
Minneapolis, but similar steps are be-
ing taken in this city, and when the
st. Paul and Minneapolis associations
are perfected, as they soon will be,
the work will be extended throughout

WILL OPEN new BIDS
Aldermen to Have Another Go
at Lamp-post Project.

Bids will again be opened by the
board Of aldermentomorrow evening
for the supplying of the city with its
own lamp posts.
The American Development compa-
ny, which was the lowest bidder at the
last contest, announced that it did not
know whether it would bid or not,
claiming that it has no assurance that
it's bid will be accepted. even If it is
again the lowest.
If the city should lose out in the
bids this time there is likely to be
some tall protesting in the board of
aldermen. Several of the members
have announced that they will refuse
to stand for any more favoritism and
will vote against any proposition that
proposes to give the contract to other
than the lowest bidder.
The hearing on the gasoline street
lighting injunction, served on Mayor
Smith late Saturday night, was to have
been held yesterday afternoon, but by
agreement between the parties was
postponed until Saturday afternoon.
There is little likelihood that the
lights will suffer by reason of the con-
troversy. The Cleveland Vapor Light
company, to whom was awarded the
contract for the remainder of the year.
is understood to be willing to take it's
chances on getting pay for its work
and will go ahead with the contract.
Should the injunction be made per-
manent, however, it must Of necessity
put out it's lights, as there would be no
chance of the city paying any of it's
bills. Charles Patterson, the companys
local manager, announced yesterday
that he was not doing any worrying
over the outcome.

The numerous creditors of Casper
Ernst cannot agree upon plan Of
settlement and instead of concerted
action in any one direction it now
looks as, though different methods will
be employed by creditors in their at
tempt to save something from the
financial wreck which the banker
seems to have caused.
There, are probably fifty creditors
in all and several of them have differ
ent ideas regarding the best method of
procedure.
Some of the creditors favor throwing
Ernst into bankruptcy and taking their
chance along with other creditors in
any such settlement as the assets of
the banker might be made to pay.
These creditors have already taken ac-
ton, the petition for bankruptcy hav-
ing been filed soon after Ernst's ar
rest.
Other creditors, however, do not
favor the bankruptcy plan, and headed
by Father Baart, Catholic priest of
Marshall Mich, are discussing plans
OF settlement. Just what these cred
itors expect to gain is not made appar-
ent by their action thus far.
About twenty-five of them, mostly
priests, have met with Father Bart
and the matter has been talked over,
but acting under suggestions from
Father Baart, all of them decline to
discuss what action they propose TAX
ing.
Father Baart, who is said to be a
heavy creditor of Ernst, refuses to
talk for publication, and has even de-
clined to discuss the matter with Coun-
ty Attorney Kane, who is conducting
the Ernst case before the grand jury.
Creditors Want Money Not Retaliation.
Other creditors do not appear to
care whether Ernst is indicted or not,
so long as they save as much as posi-
bic out of the wreck. Neither do these
creditors favor bankruptcy proceed
irgs, preferring to leave the matter in
the hands of Attorney O'Brien, recently
named as assignee Of the buildings
owned by Ernst. They believe that
Mr.. O'Brien can conduct the property
to better advantage than could be
. done through bankruptcy, it being
suggested that the latter method might
result in forced sale of the buildings
at a, price much below what they
would bring if properly handled and

WINS BUTTER PRIZE
Lafayette Dairyman Leads in
eyr~v5Fat
State Contest.

Adfred Schroeder, of Lafayette, is
winner of first prize in the butter con-
test for this month, his sample having
scored SO. James Sorenson, Of Lyn-
dale, with score of 97h was second
and j. 0. Dybervick, of Cannon Falls,
with score of 81, third. The scoring,
which was done by B. D. White and
Sam HaugdahI, of the state dairy and
food department, was finished yester-
day. Prof. Hacker, of the state agri-
cultural college is referee of these
contests.
There were 1870 samples submitted in
this months competition and speaking
OF them in a general way yesterday,
Mr. White said:
The quality Of the butter through
out was up to the high standard Of
the Minnesota product and there were
fewer poor tubs than in any previous
contest. This speaks well for our
buttermakers in general and I am sat-
lsfied that we now have more good but
termakers than ever before and that
their number is gradually increasing.
We are satisfied that the most ex-
pert buttermakers are nearly all of
them sending in samples 1t is plainly
apparent to them that it Is to their
interest to do so, not only for the sake
OF what credit and distinction they
may gain by winning a prize. but to
add to the fame of their work, and what
Is also Of great Importance, to keep
track of what they are doing in COM
parlson with the other buttermakers.
What we now want particularly to
do is to make it plain to those who
are having trouble with their butter
that 1t is to their interest also to send
in samples. These contests are edu-
cational in their character, above all
else. The purpose is not only to learn
who are making the best butter, but
also to find out who there are among
the buttermakers of this state who
need assistance and whose product
could be improved by advice and in
struction from this department. Such
cases as that need not be made public
and would be regarded by the depart
ment as strictly confidential
When we find that a man is having
trouble with his butter we will send
an expert right to his creamery to work
with him and go right to the root of
the trouble. He will be fully instruc-
ted In the advanced methods

Surprises the Politicians.
Mr.. LAWYERS fiat declaration of a
try at the mayora4t ~ wassreceived with
considerable surprise at the city hall
yesterdays much comment was in
dulged in by the politicians. For two
days the story that he might run was
handed around, but it was given little
credence until his statement yester-
day.
Mr.. LAWYERS resignation three weeks
ago from the police commission, of
which he had been member from
the time of it's creation in 1901, oc-
casioned much surprise, and gossip
was rife at the time regarding the
cause. The resignation was in the
mayors hands fully week before be-
ing accepted, and even then his sue
cessor was appointed only after a fiat
statement from Mr.. LAWYER that no
other course. was possible.

as to the cause of his withdrawal, but

see in his latest announcement a solu-
ton of the problem.

Some startling disclosures were
brought to light at yesterdays meeting
of the board of county commissioners,
when the matter of the allowance of
$500, said to be a balance due on road
rollers purchased by the county, was
brought up.
County Attorney Kane objected 10
the allowance of the BILL and in doing
so directly charged that certain MEM
bers of the board had "jobbed' the
county at the time the rollers were
purchased
The rollers were purchased some
time ago from the Austin Western
company, the price which the board
agreed to pay being 1915. OF this
amount $475 has been paid and the
company is now trying to collect the
balance of $500.
Mr.. Kane charged that the board
had paid almost double the price at
which the rollers had been offered to
the county.
Il have been informed from a most
reliable source" said Mr.. Kane, that
these rollers were originally offered to
certain members of the board at SOS
per tOil, anu lldC tney were later pur-
chased at 500 per ton. The same kind
of rollers were sold to Winona. Per-
ham and other places for $65 per ton"
Who Got the $35 Per Ton?
This charge upon the part Of County
Attorney Kane, who thoroughly in
vestigated the matter before making
it, is that the board, or certain men,
bers of it, had prof1ted to the extent
of $35 per ton on the purchase of the
rollers. vi" 7'r p,e
Mr.. Kane was indignant that such
suspicion should stand against the ac-
ton of any member of the county
board, and he positively declined to
give his approval Of the allowance of
the claim nus
An explanation is therefore due as to-
why the county paid $10O per ton for
rollers which had previously been Of
fered for $65 per ton, and the grand
jury may be asked to investigate the
matter asaweH as other deals which
The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1903-11-17

held until suitable purchaser could
be secured.
The varied ideas of the numerous
creditors is doing much to complicate
the situation, and it is contended that
but little Roadway can be made until
the creditors agree upon some one
plan for a settlement.
An effort will be made to have a
general meeting of the creditors in the
near future, when some plan of settle
ment will be suggested whereby all
Will stand an equal chance.
Mortgages, deeds and notes, which
are undoubtedly forgeries, continue to
be brought to light each day until such
disclosures are no longer cause for
comment.
His Legacy Is Missing.
An aged German farmer, who re-
sides IN Ramsey county, called upon
County Attorney Kane yesterday after
noon regarding a business deal he had
with Ernst. Some months ago the
farmer solicited the assistance of
Ernst in collecting a legacy which had
been left to him by relatives in Ger
many. The papers were placed in
Ernst's hands, who promised to care
for the matter.
Several times since, when the man
went to Ernst to see if the money had
arrived, ne was put OH with the eX-
PLANTATION that the matter had not yet
been attended to, and he has never re-
ceived the money.
The man informed the county at
torney that he had received word from
Germany which left but little doubt
that the money had long ago been paid,
and it was his opinion that Ernst had
pocketed it. ugtatl
Many such cases as these have been
called to the attention Of the county
attorney, and will in time, doubtless,
be investigated by the grand jury when
it resumes it's investigation of the case.
The grand jury was not in session
yesterday, but it Is understood that
when it reconvenes tomorrow after
neon it will again take up the Ernst
case with the view of making a thor
ough investigation of the numerous
charges.
The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1903-11-17

have been entered into by the county
commissioners.
The matter of allowing the $500 bill
was brought up at the meeting yes
terday by County Commissioner Seng,
who said he had recently been button.
holed by representatives of the Austin
Western company, who were anxious
to have the bill allowed. Other MEM
bers admitted that they had been So
licited by members of the company
and asked to have the account settled.
Claims Contract Is Illegal.
County Attorney Kane declared that
the contract was illegal upon its face
and that the county had no right to
the payment of this balance and the
company could sue for it if it so desir-
ed. If suit was brought, Mr.. Kane
thought the company might be called
upon to explain why the price had been
raised to 500 after an offer had been
made at $65, and this, he thought,
would not be desired by certain mem
bers of the board.
Commissioner Pottgieser and other
members, inasmuch as the county had
possession of the rollers, thought the
bill should be paid, but the county at
torney was obdurate and the bill was
finally disalloWed.
The board, in a moment of gener-
osity, made Contractor Donahue a
present of $3.50, this being the amount
due the county from him for penalties
in failing to complete his contract on
the new Jail within the specified time.
His contract called for a penalty of IS
per day, and the total amounted to
$3.50, but, inasmuch as penalties had
not been imposed upon other contract
ors. the board decided to not impose
this. IS ?~2
Had all the penalties earned rbyl the
county on the Jail contract been col
lected, the total cost of the structure
would have been reduced u,several
thousand dollars.

JOB PRINTERS ASK
$18 FOR So HOURS
1t Is Believed the Employers viii Ac-
cept This Scale.

Typographical Union No. 80, at a
meeting yesterday afternoon to con-
slider the differences existing between
the job printers of the organization
and their employers, decided to submit
to the employers a scale of SIS for a
week of fifty three hours, or $3.50 for
a week of fifty-four hours.
The employers had already signified
a Willingness to agree to $18 for nine
hours work straight through the week
and it is believed that they will grant
the hour of time on Saturday or the
additional pay of so cents. Negotiations
have now been pending for month or
SIX weeks, and it is expected that q
settlement will soon be reached.
The proposed scale, if adopted, can
become effective only for two years,
as the International Typographical
union has law which provides that
no subordinate union may agree to a
day of more than eight hours to ex-
tend beyond 1905.

The park board yesterday placed a
contract for .seventy-fiye :, row boats
with the Minnesota Boat and Power
company Saltwater concern. The
rate was $235O a boat.
Protests were offered by local build
ers, among, them several concerns who
wanted to supply the board with steel
boats at $50 each, but the members
thought it too good an offer to throw
away. .s go aA1

lamp-post tactics here said Commits
sioner Aberle. 'The company may not
be able to give good boats for the price,
as you sayI but we have specifications,
and the company will have to observe
them or it will not get any money"
The lowest figure offered by a ST.

concerns raised the point that good
boat could not be built for $3.50.
