WHOSE SALOON NOW |
Is Joseph Parks, Declared Unfit to

ming saloon2
Question Brought to Attention Of
Police in a Case This
Morning.

Joseph Parks who was recently de-
prived Of his license to run saloon at
100 Nicollet avenue, because Of alleged
immoral relations with little girl, seems
still to be proprietor of the saloon. Joseph
McHenry. employed by Parks in pavilion
at Mtnnehaha Falls, this morning in a
case relating to the pavilion, testified that
Parks was proprietor Of the saloon, tho
the license stands in the name of Emil
Johnson.
Parks was taken before Judge Holt on
la charge of crtminally wronging a child.
The court held him to the grand jury.
Acting Mayor Jones, at the instigation
Of Superintendent Conroy, heard the girls
story and revoked Parks license. The
license was at once taken out by john
son, who continued to run the saloon.
Parks was seen about the place fire.

to believe McHenry's testimony In regard
to the ownership of the saloon.

Walsh to-day. "Al I konw is that
Parks license was revoked and that
Johnson took out a license for the place.

TAX TITLE PROBLEM.
The County Auditor Takes a Posi-
tion That Necessitates It's
Resolution.
Does Securing Of Tax Title Carry
Cancellation of All Back
Taxes

Upon the petition of Harold P. Good
now, Judge Harrison has issued an alter
native writ Of mandamus, rcturnable Aug.
20, citing the county auditor to show
cause why he refused to certify deeds to
certain property in Island Park addition
to Minneapolis and mark as Cancelled
taxes on said property for years prior to
its transfer on tax title. The action af-
fects seventeen lots near Lake of the
Isles.
The question involved may mean thou
sands Of dollars to the county. 1t Is held
by the petitioner that the law, as handed
down in a supreme court dicision, Is that
the securing of a tax title has the effect
Of canceling all taxes delinquent prior to
the date Of the tax sale. This being the
law he holds that the county auditor Is
bound to certify as paid these back taxes
and thus allow clear title recorded in the
register of deeds office.
County Auditor Scott said this morning:
"The petitioner in this case has SUI
preme court decision back Of him but
do not think that ruling Is just. At any
rate. the law provides that the auditor
shall certify a clear title only when all
taxes are paid and I do not intend to do
so unless they are. If the court orders
well and good, but until it does, shall
steadily refuse to do SO. I should very
much like to have the case taken to the
supreme court again" .,. e.
The property was sold at a tax sale in
1897 for 1895 delinquent taxes. Albert
Johnson secured the property and after
ward sold the same to the Minnesota De-
it to Mr.. Goodnow. The unpaid taxes
sought to be Cancelled are for the years
1890, 1891 and 1892, and involve con-
siderable amount of money.

BIDING THEIR TINE

Very Little Illegal Shooting This
Year-Pub Sentiment
Against It.

II believe there is very little illegal
chicken shooting going on in Minnesota"
said Executive Agent Fullerton Of the
state game and fish commission to-day.
I'VE get complaints of all kinds but are
not able to verify them, and we have only
caught two Illegal hunters so far this
season. That is not because we are not
patrolling the field, for we have 1872
wardens actively engaged in the work
OF that number 76 are volunteers, who
are only paid out Of fines they succeed in
placing. but 46 are regular salaried men,
who are out all Of the time looking for
offenders. OF course, they cannot be
everywhere, and there is some hunting
done on the sly, but am satisfied there
Is much less than in former years.
I am satisfied that the change is due
to public sentiment It is unpopular now
to hunt game out Of season and in many
places 1t is looked on as bad as stealing.
Sportsmen generally favor waiting until
the legal time, apd all starting In with
an even chance. Enthusiastic amateurs
are great help to us in enforcing the law.
The newspapers have done great deal
toward shaping sentiment in this diret-
ton. Both the daily and weekly news

THE CITY ACCOUNTS
Step Toward Securing a Proper Sys-
tenn Taken by Interested
Citizens.
Meeting at Minneapolis Club to Pre-
pare Appeal to Tax Levy
Board.

A meeting was held at the Minneapolis
club late this afternoon to which had
been hidden representative business and
professional men of the city, the object
being to take steps for the installation Of
a new system of city, accounts. 1t was
the idea of those responsible for calling
the meeting that the board Of tax levy
and the common council should be asked
to make the proper provision for such q
reform and that complete and perfect
system Of ter-checking accounts should
be devised by experts and installed.
About two years ago Chicago did such
a thing and the results have been won
derfully gratifying, not only in money
saved In disbursements, but also In closer
and more complete collections. The reve-
nues of the city have been increased and
it's expenses decreased. Such a system
would prevent the mysterious dissemina-
ton, for instance, of the permanent i'm
provement revolving fund a problem that
is causing city officials much perturbation
and trouble While it is not known until
a careful examination by experts what
such a system would cost, the figure is
somewhere between $4,000 and $4,000.
OF the saving 1t would effect, there is little
doubt in the minds Of those who have
started the movement.

GOIHAM'S HARD FIX
Labor Situation Here Isn't Marker
to Complications in That
City.
r. Julian McGill Says Mammoth
Buildings Stand Unfinished,
Deserted and Gloomy.

IF builders and contractors here think
they are having their labor troubles they
should take a look at New York, said
T. Julian McGili, manager for the West
inghouse Electric company, who returned
from a trip thru the east yesterday.
"Of coure the building which Is delayed
here is Of relative Importance, but one
is thoroly impressed in New York with
the fact that labor troubles have build
ing operations paralyzed, when first he
sets foot on the island.
There are great big buildings, ten, f1f-
teen and twenty stories high, some Of
them requiring but month or so of work
to make them ready for occupancy-and
not so much as a bod carrier on any one
of them. What it Is costing the property
owners to have the real estate standing
not even guess but those great big build
ings without any sign of life on them re-
mind one Of a cemetery.
"And it looks like a deadlock, too. II
the union men are determined to win the
day, the contractors are just little bit
more determined to keep themselves free
from the walking delegate, and that is
practically all the fight is about. The
contractors are willing to pay the union
scale land to recognize the unions, but
they will not stand the interference of
the walking delegates and the visiting
committees.
ITS very much the same in our own
factory at Pittsburg. The company pays
it's men the regular scale and gives them
half of what it may save by the intro
duction Of new machinery or a new tool.
But it wont stand for the walking dele
gate and just because one of them came
in and said: Here, you can't put that
washing machine down in the fourth
AISLE or something like that, and the
company invited him to go out, the men
wanted to strike on us.

New York, think that the crisis is rapidly

NONE KNOWS HIM
Mutilated Remains at the Morgue
Are Not Identified.

No one has yet been able to identify
the remains Of the man who was killed
on the Milwaukee tracks near Fourteenth
avenue last night. At first it was
thought that they were those of man
named Hennessey, who lived on Twenty
ninth avenue s, but further Investigation
shows that this Identification Is incor-
rect.
The man was evidently about 40 years
of age, had red mustache, blue eyes, and
was of medium size, being about feet 8
inches tall. and weighed about $50 pounds.
He wore the clothing Of a laborer, having
striped trousers, dark coat and light
shirt. The body was badly mutilated.
