ASK COMMISSION
/ FOR A new CHARTER
Several Departments Say They
Must Have More Money to
Run the Town.

A call for a meeting of the st. Paul
charter commission is being prepared.
Several of the city departments are
behind the request, and they ask for
early action.
The board of fire commissioners
wants it's annual appropriation OF
S215, 900 increased.
City Engineer Rundlett says it is i'm
possible to properly care for ST. Paui,
with it's present growth, with the sum
allowed him-$175,000 a year.
The board of public works needs
more clerks. It also wants several IN
accuracies in the present charter
changed. -.
Instead of an annual appropriation
of $4,000, the board of park commiS-
sioners would like a per capita tax.
City Comptroller Betz and City
Treasurer Bremen could use few more
clerks.
The present annual appropriation of
$4,000 year for the sprinkling OF
streets is entirely inadequate.
These are only few Of the things
needed, but they are sufficient to de-
mand the attention of the charter COM
mission. and If the members of that
body can be found they will be asked
to give ear to the complaints.
year ago the charter commission
met and considered a number Of re-
quests for changes in the present char
ter, but that was all their deliberations
amounted to- The majority of the re-
quests were turned down fiat by the
commission, and what few were ac-
quiesced in were permitted to go by
default because Corporation Attorney
Markham ruled that they could not be
considered at the election following,
which was a county one.
Next spring there will be a city elec-
tion, and those who want changes made
in the charter, as far as 1t relates to
their particular department, take the
stand that if anything is ever done now
is the time.
Throughout the city there are a
number of localities that are materially
affected by the law as it now stands,
and they also want some changes
This is especially so in respect to To-
calities that want fire protection. I'M
less the commissions appropriation is
increased they cannot get it, and the
only way to compel the commission to
act is to secure a petition containing
the names of three -fourths of the vot-
ing population.
The members Of the board of fire
commissioners say the only way to get
action from the charter commission is
to force it's hand through the medium
of petitions, which the law makes man
datory in the event that they contain
a sufficient number Of names. Several
delegations which have called upon the
commission for aid have been advised
to adopt this policy. and a petition as
a result may yet make it's appearance.

He Boards The LION
indian Agents Threat Does
Not Frighten Fullerton.

State Game and Fish Commissioner
S. F.. Fullerton is one of the happiest
men in Minnesota.
One of his deputy wardens, Mr.. Ste
yens, of Detroit, went into the White
Earth reservation and arrested two
men for violating the game laws of the
state. The men, William Moore and
Nicholas Brink, were taken to Detroit
and fined $40 each for shooting chick
ems out of season.
There has been trouble between Ex-
eeutive Agent Fullerton and Simon
Michlet, Indian agent, for some time.
Mr.. Michelet9. decl3red last year that
Mr.. Fullerton had no jurisdiction over
the killing ofegame on the Indian, res
ervation, and in defiance of Fullerton's
orders, invited friends there to hunt
during the closed season. He also sent
word to Fullerton that if any of his
deputies interfered they would be ar
rested and thrown into the guard
house.
This threat was renewed this year,
and some days ago Michelet invited
number of Minneapolis and ST. Paul
friends to the reservation to shoot
chickens.
Wednesday Deputy Warden Stevens
arrested the two hunters on the reser-
walton and took them to Detroit, where
they were fined $40 each.

Mrs. Norbeck was twenty-six years
old, and was married few years ago,
but had separated from her husband.
No cause beside dependency is as
signed for her action. 1t is said that
she had evidently contemplated sui

bottle of poison in her possession dur

Deputy Coroner Whitcomb, after
making an investigation. decided that
an inquest was unnecessary. The body

CARNIVAL BILLS
ARE BEING CARVED
Baths May Yet Get 81 900 OFrom
the Benefit
Show.

The ST. Paul public baths may yet
receive a piece of money as result OF
the carnival.
Thanks to the generosity of few
claim holders, but more particularly to
the activity of the auditing commit
tee in thoroughly sitting the multitude
of claims presented, a check for 1000
and possibly more may be the property
of the baths when the finish is reached
Many of the Claims standing against
the association were satisfied yester-
day by City Comptroller Betz, and he
expects by hard work to clean up the
remainder by the close Of the week.
In scrutinizing the bills and with the
help of the committees who incurred
them, number of duplicate claims
were found and these cut out. together
with the bills that the association did
not recognize, as they think there is no
warrant for them, will probably leave
a balance for DR.. Ohage
Added to this several donations have
been made, and this materially helps in
making a profit out Of what at first
looked like a hopeless deficit.
"The general public seems to think
the result of the carnival should be
known in day." said one member Of
the association yesterday, "but If they
would stop to think that nearly every
person VINO look any important part III
the carnival was a city official and that
his time is not all his own, they would
not be so quick to condemn. The bur-
den of the work of auditing all claims
has been thrown on City Comptroller
Betz, and as his public duties must
first receive attention, carnival mat
ters can only be attended to when he
can catch the time. He, as chairman
of the committee on tickets and ac-
counts, has been doing work that would
have cost us $500 if we had to pay for
it. He and the rest of us jumped into
the breach when everything was chaos,
and that we have not had to go down in
our pockets to pay a heavy loss is due
to his care in watching our finances"
The fact that in previous published
statements the claims were shown to
exceed the receipts, Mr.. Betz says, is
nothing to draw a conclusion from, as
they were simply given in response to
the demands of many who were in a
hurry to see how matters stood. Every
thing presented in the shape Of a claim,
whether it was legitimate or not, was
compiled and the total found. 1t was
nothing, he says, to draw conclusion
from, as the list since has been care
fully purged and number of erroneous
items found

DEATH APPARENTLY DUE
TO SLEEP WALKING HABIT
Deputy Coroner Whitconb Reaches
That Conclusion Regarding Mrs. koke

After reviewing the remains of Mrs.
Herman F. Koke, who met her death
by falling from the seeond-story Of
her home, 253 Colborne street, shortly
after 1 o'clock Thursday morning,
Deputy Coroner Whitcomb decided that
an inquest was unnecessary.
1t appears that the woman left her
bed in a somnambulistic state and that
after walking the length of the hall
went out of the rear door and fell from
a platform, striking headforemost upon
the stone tagging in the back yard.
The body has been taken to Man
kato, the home Of Mrs. Koke's parents.

NOT AFTER A BISHOP.
Polish Catholics Are Merely Asking for
Assistant Bishops.

MILWAUKEE,. Wis. Aug. 27.-Michael
Kruszka. of Milwaukee, brother of the
Rev. Wenceslaus Kruszka, the Ripon
s(Wis.) priest, points out that the dis
patches from Rome are in error in indi-
eating that the Polish Catholics are pc
titfoning for the appointment of one bishop
for all the Polish members Of the church
in America. Such an appointment, he ad-
mits, would be impossible. They are
asking, he says, for the appointment of
assistant bishops in each archdiocese in
which there is large number of Polish
Catholics IF they cannot be allowed as
sistant bishops they ask that at least they
have vicar generals.
A letter just received from the Rev.
Father Kfuszka said that he would prob
ably remain until November, when the
congregation of faith, which had the sub
ject under discussion, would decide it.
A pertinent question was asked by Car
dina1 Oreglia, who said:
Why is it there is never one name
of a Polish priest in the lists of candi.
dates for bishops in the United States? =
