Currency was given yesterday by the
st. Paul Dispatch to a report of a
discovery that the two mammoth
steamships now being built at New
London, Conn, for ]. ]. Hill, are of
too heavy draught for the Oriental
trade and must now be sold to be used
for other purposes.
In view Of the great importance to
st. Paul of the development of the ORR
entail trade the effort to create such an
impression is regarded among rail-
road men familiar with the situation
and business men Of the city informed
as to the plans of Mr.. Hill, as a yelled
attack on the future Of the city.
Mr.. Hill is not at home and a di-
rect expression from him was not OBJ
tainable last evening, but a man close
1y associated with him and identified
with his interests said:
ITO any person who has any knowl-
edge of Mr.. Hill and his methods that
story must seem absolutely false as
well as ridiculous. To all railroad
men it is we'll known that the building
of these steamers is the elimination OF
a plan which has long been under
consideration and has been carefully
worked out in every detail.
'"The ship building work is now well
under way, in fact nearing completion
and it is expected that one of the boats
may be launched within thirty days
and the other soon afterwards.
"It is nonsense to presume that engi-
neers were selected for such important
work who were not fully competent
and capable.
For some time past two men, one OF
whom is ]. d. Farrell, superintendent
of the Great Northern Steamship COM
pany, have been in the East superin-
tending the work and 1t is certainly tc
be assumed that they were fully in
formed as to the requirements before
they were permitted to undertake this
duty.
Il feel confident in saying that Mr.
Hill would as soon think of selling his
home in St. Paul or resigning the
presidency of the Great Northern road
as selling these two ships"

TWO WEEKS MORE.
FOR DR.. AMES
Gov. Bachelor Honors Requ-

Till March 5.
Special to The Globe.

Special to The Globe.
CONCORD, N. H, Feb. 19-The
hearing on the extradition of Dr. Ames
was continued before Gov Bachelor
land the council today and the gov
ernor honored the requisition papers.
Those present were the governor and
council, Attorney c. J. Hamblett, ,Attor-
ney John r. Spring for the defense,
Attorney General Eastman, Sheriff
Doane and Sheriff Dreger. The latter
two were represented by Attorney
James P. Tuttle. 1t was expected that
DR.. Granville p. Conn would report on
the physical condition of DR.. Ames,
but he did not. Attorney Hamblett and
the two sheriffs visited DR.. Ames at
Hancock last night and are convinced
that he is sick man.
This was all stated at the hearing
and Mr.. Hamblett said that as soon as
his client was able he would return to
Minneapolis. An agreement was made
between Mr.. Hamblett and the attor-
ney general for stay of two weeks in
the proceedings and this was granted
by the governor. The attorney gen
eral then gave Sheriff Doane to un-
derstand that he was responsible for
Dr. Ames until March 5. Then he
would be turned over to the Minneap-
oils authorities. Sheriff Dreger will
remain here to await orders from the
West. Dreger was assured by Dr.
Ames and wife last night that there
would be no objections to extradition
when the time comes providing the
doctors health will permit
Sheriff Dreger discussed the case
more freely than he has at any time
since his arrival. After having ex-
pressed the belief that Mayor Ames
had determined to return to Mime
apolis and face the charges as soon as
his health will permit the sheriff said:
Il had long talk with both DR..
and Mrs. Ames at Hancock last even
ing and they assured me that no at
tempt would be made to stay the pro-
ceedings except on account of the for
mer mayors health. Dr. Conn., the
Concord physician who examined DR..
AmeS at my request, reported to me
that I would be taking big risk in
removing Mr.. Ames at this time. 1
think so myself, and I am perfectly
satisfied with the way things have
turned out. I shall go to Manchester
for few days to await instructions
from home and then I shall probably
return to Minneapolis to wait until
March 81
Attorney Hamblett asserted that his
client would make no attempt to stay
proceedings unless his health was such
that he could not stand the strain of
the journey West and of the subse-
quent proceedings.

SHAKE STATE DRY BONES
MERGE CITY AND COUNTY
Senator McNamee Introduces
Bill for Constitutional
Amendment to Make Prac-

merce Plan for Absorption
of Ramsey County by City
Of st. Paul.

The consolidation of the city of st.
Paul and the county of Ramsey is
promised in a bill introduced in the
senate yesterday by Senator Nc
Nance, of Ramsey.
The Ramsey county senator's meas
ure proposes a constitutional amend
ment, which, if adopted by the people.
will make it possible for the legislature
either by a general or special law.
to organize any city, in any county of
the state attaining a population of
$4,000 or more, and the whole or part
Of the county in which it is situated,
into single municipal corporation
vested with all the powers and charg-
ed with all the duties that have been
vested and exercised by the officers of
the city and county.
supersede City Charter.
To accomplish this end the amend
ment would give the legislature the
right to change the lines of old coun-
ties and establish the lines of the new
municipal organization and to attach
any portions of a county not included
in said municipal corporation.
1t also provides that while it's pro-
visions are in force they shall be para
mount to the provisions relating to
the same city included in the local
charter pertaining thereto.
Senator McNamee believes his pro-
posed plan will meet with the approval
of the general public and is convinced
that it will be opposed by only politi-
clans and officeseekers. The amend
ment, according to the Ramsey sena-
tor, would give the legislature merely
the right to enact law permitting
the change, and points out that in
this enactment conditions making the
extension not a burdensome matter to
the residents of the rural districts.

SLAUGHTER MORLEY BILL.
Decline to Take Educational Institu-
tions From Board of Control.


The Morley bill to remove the state
educational institutions from the man
agement of the state board of control is
dead if an adverse committee report
means, as it usually does, death.
The house committee on general leg
iSfation, after a prolonged and rather
stormy session yesterday afternoon,
decided upon a report of indefinite
postponement for the Morley bill,
which is designed to relieve the uni
Versity, state normal schools, the
schools for deaf, dumb and blind and the
OWatonna state public school from the
board Of control management.
Representative Morley, whose first
object was, of course, relief for the
OWatonna state public school, has not
given up the fight. He is disappointed,
but last night gave notice that this
morning he will attempt to have his
bill excepted from the committees re-
port and sent to general orders, where
the question may be fought out in
committee of the whole, or, better still,
have it made a special order.
Yesterdays session of the committee
on general legislation demonstrated
that the legislature is hopelessly di-
vided on the board of control question.
An agreement to the end of favorable
report on any feature of the Morley
bill was quickly discovered to be an
was ready enough to take the univer-
sity and normal schools from the man
agement of the board of control. An
other faction wanted the other educa-
tiOnal institutions returned to the local
board system. A considerable faction
would prefer to wipe out the whole
thing, and still another wants no
change at all.
The faction believing that if the
board of control is good for part of the
institutions, it is good for them all. and
the avowed opponents of the entire
scheme were strong enough to prevent
any favorable report, and finally land
ed the indefinite postponement propo-
sition, which is regarded as a victory
for the enemies of the board of control.
Strange as this view may at first
seem, the decision of the committee
on the Morley bill puts the board Of
control law in greater peril than it has
ever before been. If the university and
normal schools had been relieved from
the board of control, sixty-two votes
in the two houses. now unfriendIy to
the board of control, would have been
al once neutralized, and with their loss
the jig would be up for all time. with
the other institutions.
