In the hill district, were all turned over
to the franchise committee.
Assemblyman Howard Wheeler, as
chairman of the committee, was made
their custodian. He announced that as
soon as they had been investigated a
meeting would be called. Later, when
asked regarding his failure to call a.
meeting, he said that he was in CORE
spondence with other cities regarding
lighting conditions and prices there,
and that as soon as the figures were
compiled he would call meeting. .
M. j. Ryan, the we'll known con-
tractor; is a member of the commits
sion, but he says he does not know
what has been done,
Time Something Was Done.
'1 suppose Assemblyman Wheeler
will call meeting soon," said Mr.. Ryan
last night. Il am going to inquire
about it. He is chairman and seemed
to be thoroughly posted about the
whole thing. 1t is about time that
something was DONE"
There is at least one company in st.
Paul, it is said, that is anxious to pro-
vide st. Paul with light providing it
can get franchise, but the inactivity
of the commission, it is claimed, con-
stitutes a block. The company cannot
do anything until the commission re-
ports to the council what st. Paul
should get for lighting franchise.
Some of the members of the COM
mission, among them former City En-
gineer Claussen, favor city ownership
of a plant, but he is understood to be
in the minority. The others want to
farm the privileges out providing cheap
rates are given.

LIGHT FRANCHISE
COMMISSION SILENT
Remains Inactive for Several
Months and Nothing Is
Done.

Some pertinent inquiries are being
made around the city hall regarding
the whereabouts of the city lighting
franchise commission. It's last meeting
was held early in the summer.
This body, which consists of four
members of the two council bodies and
three taxpayers, was selected nearly
a year ago for the purpose of placing
on the market franchise that would
bring st. Paul cheaper gas and electric
light, but beyond two or three confer
ences with the gas company nothing
has developed.
The st. Paul Gas company, whose
franchise expires in 1907, anxious to
again capture the st. Paul rights, after
q conference with the committee, sig
nif1ed it's willingness to give 81 gas in
return for franchise, but had nothing
TO offer in the shape of cheaper cleo
tricity. It's rights in this field, it con-
tended, were not subject to city inter-
ference. Even its offer of 81 gas had
string tied to it,
Receives Offer of 90-Cent Gas.
This conference was held several
months ago. During the interval the
assembly was made the recipient of a
communication from a Chicago party
In which 90-cent gas was the basis of
an offer for franchise. This, together
with an ordinance granting the Impe-
rial Manufacturing company an cleo
trio light franchise, another recognize

CITY NEWS
CAN'T PAY AL|MONY
DR.. w. G. Rlcheson Says Wife
Has Ruined His Practice.

Dr. William G. Richeson, defendant
in suit for divorce brought by his
wife last summer, stated in court yes
terday that he was not financially able
to pay his wife $40 per week alimony
pending the outcome of the suit, and
asked that he be not in contempt of
court for his failure to do so.
DR.. Richeson says that, while he at
one time had lucrative practice, 1t
has been ruined, and he believes this
has been caused by the efforts of his
wife, who once threatend to ruin his
business.
The suit for divorce was commenced
by Mrs. Richeson last summer, follow
ing a sensational attempt on the part
OF DR.. RicheSon to secure possession of
their child, which had been taken by
the mother to the home OF her sister
in Minneapolis, when she left the doc
tor and her ST. Paul home previous to
commencing an action for divorce.
For the purpose Of securing possess
sion of the child. who is a pretty little
girl of five years, DR.. Richeson sued
out writ of habeas corpus.
The child was returned to st. Paul
at that time, being taken to the home
of DR.. Richeson's m ther, but a few
days dater the court decided that the
father had no legal right to hold his
child, and ordered it returned to it's
lIlOlneT.
Following this escapade, which caus-
ed something of a sensation at that
time, Mrs. Richeson commenced an
action for devorce.
The court ordered the husband to
pay her $40 per week alimony and a
temporary allowance of 500, which he
has failed to do. He was brought into
court yesterday to show cause why he
should not be held in contempt for his
failure to obey the order of the court,
and, when examined, stated that he
had not paid because he was unable
to do so.
His attorney, F. H Griggs, stated
that DR.. Richeson's practice did not
now yield as much as $50 per month,
and the opinion was expressed that his
wife had carried out her threat to ruin
him.
Judge Kelly heard the arguments on
both sides and took the matter under
advisement, announcing that if he de-
cided that Dr. Richeson was unable to
pay he would not be held in con-
tempt of court.
The Richesons, before their domestic
trouble, were somewhat prominent in
st. Paul society, and the fight for the
possession of the daughter followed by
the action for divorce, created a mild
sensation among the friends OF the
family, who knew nothing of the do
mestic troubles Of the couple.

A MANS WATCH
AND DRAWS 90 DAYS
Mike kearns Puts Up Defense, but Il
Avails Him Not.

Mike Kearns, arrested on Wednesday
last, charged with stealing a watch
from F. L. Fosher on the corner OF
Twelfth and Robert streets, was SEN
fenced to ninety days in the work
house by the police court yesterday.
Fosher and two boys, who were
standing nearby at the time, testified
that Kearns grabbed the watch from
Fosher's pocket and handed 1t to an
other man, who ran away.
When first arrested Kearns was de-
fant, but yesterday he told the court
that he had first noticed Fosher's watch
chain hanging loose and when he called
the latter's attention to the fact the Of
ficers were called and he had been run
in for his friendly act. His speech was
cut short by the sentence of 800 or
ninety days. He chose the ninety days.

rtBoN In Years nn

Peter Olson, who lives at Merriam
Park, probably has the most unique
house in the city. If Mr. Olson were
fanciful he might not rest very easily
in his home at night, but he does not
believe in ghosts and therefore has no
unpleasant dreams.
The house he occupies is the street
car in which Thomas Tollefson, the
Minneapolis street car conductor, was
murdered in September, 1887, on Cedar
street in Minneapolis. The Barrett
brothers were the murderers and most
people will recall the sensational trial
which resulted in the conviction and
execution Of two of them-a trial made
sensational by one of the brothers
turning states evidence and by the
extreme youth of the two who COM
mitted the robbery and murder. A
box containing $40 was obtained from
the murdered conductor.

While the fluctuations of the gold

two feet wide.
The wind ripped it from its fasten-

A crowd gathered about the corner
when the Sibley street sign came flying
through the air to the street. Those in
the vicinity forgot their curiosity in
flight. The damage is about $100.
