HEALY WILL LIKELY
BE EXONERATED
BY REPORT
Committee of Board Of Edu-
cation Investigating the
Charges of Discrimination
Against Secretary Finds
That He Gave Business to
Lowest Bidder-Paid Bill
When Possible.

Secretary James Healy, of the board
Of school inspectors, against whom
charges of discrimination and delaying
Of bills were filed at the last meeting
Of the board by the ST. Paul Book and
Stationery company and Melady &
Casey, will most likely be exonerated
when the investigating committee
meets next Wednesday afternoon to
prepare its report. The report will.
however, recommend a radical change
in some Of the methods followed by
the committees having charge Of the
ordering and purchasing of supplies.
This was the opinion advanced by
several members of the board last
evening, and 1t followed an executive
session held in one of the parlors Of
the Ryan hotel, continuing the entire
afternoon, and at which every phase
of the situation was gone over The
investigating committee, consisting of
Inspectors Fischer, Fry and Savard,
was in charge, and the audience was
confined solely to the members of
the firms interested and those of the
board who cared to be present. News
paper representatives were denied ad-
mtttance.
Paid When Money Was in Treasury.
The principal complaint came from
the st. Paul Book and Stationery COM
pany, which was represented by G.. w.
Sanders, and this was based on the
charge that Secretary Healy had OPEN
The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1903-03-15

ly disseminated against them in favor
Of NoyeS Bros. e. Cutler. AS the agent
for line Of physical apparatus used
in the schools, Mr.. Sanders stated that
whenever acquisitions on his company
were submitted by any of the school
authorities for Mr.. Healy's indorse-
ment their name was removed and
that Of NoyeS Bros. & Cutler substi-
tuted. This same discrimination, he
charged, prevailed in the case of 9TH
er supplies.
Noyes Bros. & Cutler were repre-
sented by Julius Noyes Kirby, but that
gentleman did little talking beyond
stating that the apparatus spoken of
was handled by his firm as well as
the st. Paul Book and Stationery COM
pany, and that they had made an un-
usually low price on it in order to get
the business
Another charge made by the st. Paul
Book and Stationery company was that
Mr.. Healy had held sup their bills, but
this was satisfactorily explained by
Mr.. Healy. who showed that it was
because of q lack of funds. This was
during the time that some of the de-
partment stores came to the rescue of
the board and paid the teachers, the
board having no money available.
Result of Fight Between Rivals.
Melady & Casey, dealers In paper,
had grievance against Mr.. Healy,
and 1T was because of a contract plac-
ed with the KirWin Paper company
for toilet supplies which they claimed
was rightfully theirs. Supt. George
Gerlach was drawn into this contro-
Versy, and it was because Of his rec
concentration in favor of the Kerwin
company, whose bid was q half cent
under the other company, but which,
the latter claimed, failed to supply the
quality of goods agreed on.
To all of the charges Secretary
Healy, who was in attendance, made
direct denial, and the length Of the
session was due largely to his vigorous
cross questioning and interrogating
OF those who appeared against him.
Court Of inquiry methods prevailed,
and each person participating was put
under oath. Mr.. Healy acted as his
own attorney.
Brought down to facts, the whole
thing resolved itself into an ugly fight
between rival firms over business that
had been the exclusive property of
one company before the board had TAX
en- to buying on the open market, and
1t was in this light that the commit
tee viewed the whole thing, but they
reserved their decision until a later
date. This will be done next We'd
nesday, when the committee will meet
and formulate their view in the shape
Of report for presentation at the next
meeting.
The fight between Melady & Casey
and the Kerwin Paper company is an
old one, and has been before the board
on previous occasions. Then charges
or discrimination were made, but the
board refused to entertain them.

Palmer, Commits Suicide.
Fred Berdman, a man employed by
Lewis Palmer on farm near Bloom
Ing Prairie, Hennepin C ounty, was
found hanging dead in q tree near the
Palmer house yesterday morning.
Berdman had been drinking for sew
eral weeks. He was forty years old,
and had a history of which the barest
outline is known. The man come or
iginally from Germany, and he has no
relations in the United States. He
has told enough of his family connec-
tons to establish the fact of his be-
longing to an aristtocratic line on the
other side of the water. Palmer speaks
Of him as having been a good work.
man when sober, inclined to morose-
ness, but pleasant. ts8
Berdman came to this country and
went to work for Palmer five years
ago. Two months ago he drew. his
wages and left the farm. No one knew
where he had gone, but there wore
rumors that he had been engaged in
prolonged debauch. Last Friday
Berdman returned to the farm, and
was evidently suffering from extreme
nervousness as a result of his drink
ing.
Palmer thought well of Berdman,
and he gave him his old place on the
farm, but the man appeared detected
in the presence of the family circle,
especially as he realized his condition
and knew that he could not disguise it
from the people who knew him SO we'll.
Some time during last night he left
his room unknown to the family and,
procuring q halter rope IN the barn,
hung himself to a tree only a short
distance from the front of the house.
The body was taken to the morgue in
Minneapolis.

was notified, and 1t was its duty to
notify the state board, as that body
must see to 1t that the cattle are killed.
The town board would not act, for
the town would have to pay a part of
the value of the cows
The cows were not killed, and H.
censes to sell milk in Minneapolis were
refused the milkmen.
The state board finally inspected the
herd in question, but did not return
a report of as many cattle afflicted as
the city board had
In order to compel the town and
state board to act, the Mound View
milkmen brought an alternative writ
of mandamus. Judge Brooks has de-
MED this.
At the same time, he holds that the
Minneapolis board has no Jurisdiction
outside of Minneapolis, but the Mime
| apolts board can refuse to issue
licenses to the dairymen.
Judge Brooks in his memorandum,
suggests that the milkmen who have
diseased cattle, and want to sell milk
in Minneapolis, resort to the ak or
legislation.

CITY IS LANDLORD

Authorities Want the Revenue From
Market Property.

The joint market committee of the
two council bodies would feel greatly
relieved If some one would tell it who
is realizing from the rentals that
should be forthcoming from the ten
ants of two ramshackle buildings that
1t recently acquired by the purchase
OF the Davidson market tract on Jack
son street.
The gound, which is to be added to
the new Jackson street market, to-
gether with the two buildings, was
purchased from the Davidson estate
over three months ago. The buildings
were then, and are still, occupied by
the st. Paul Carriage company, one of
them being used as blacksmith shop,
but If any rent has been paid the city
for their use those in charge have not
seen the color Of the money.

Parties to Tax Cases connIve> to Get
Money From County Treasury.

Facts have Just come to light which ex-
plain the drain that has been put on the
Hennepin county treasury.
Lax tax laws are responsible for the
trouble. Orders of the court made In
one week compel the repayment to pri-
vate individuals Of $780, 900 from the treas
ury.
The situation developed yesterday when
q case was ON trial of H R. Drew VS..
James T. Elwell. The case involved &c.
900 in tax refunds, and the matter was
brought to the attention Of County Audi
tor Scott, who notified Assistant County
Attorney G. L. Smith of the facts.
Mr.. Smith appeared tn court and repre-
sented to Judge Pond that the county
was the real defendant in the case and
representative Permission t to are argue e the
case If he desired. but Smith demurred
to this proposition, asserting his desire to
put in evidence.
The court refused to hear evidence in
the case. He decided that the evidence
Mr.. Smith wanted to put in was imma-
terial and announced his intention of de-
aiding the case. Shortly afterward a

A WaIcott Victim.

II. b. Swart, a bond broker OF
New York City, who was in Ash
land over Sunday enroute home
from a trip up the Big Sandy, was
a very angry man, says the Ash
Land Independent.
He came here a week ago and
went on TO Paintsville, Johnson
ciunty, for the purpose OF lnvesti-
eating the status OF his title to a
!, OOO-acre boundary Of fine coal
aud timber land lying in that
county, which he had recently pur-
chased, but which he had since
disposed Of to a number OF eastern
capitalists who expected to arrive
here shortly for the purpose Of
taking active steps in developing
Ethe property.
On reaching Paintsville, he was
dumbtounded to find that his prop
erty was a part OF the famous Wal
colt patent aud therefore absolute
ny worthless. Mr.. Swart is now OF
his way to the East to see thu
parties to whom he sold the prop
orty for the purpose Of explaining
tho situation to them, and resciud
ing the trade.
