CORONER CHECKS UP
ON VIOLENT DEATHS
Miller Says Notice Must Be Sent to
His Office.


Coroner Miller has decided that it is
time to call q halt on the indiscrim-
mate filing of death notices by the at
tending physicians in the cases of Wio-
lent deaths. Recently two or three
cases of this nature have occurred,
notably those of Mrs. Jennie Ward, Of
Buffalo, Mimi, who Ieaped from an
upper window of St. Joseph's hospital,
and that of Mrs. Bridget Stapleton,
burned to death in her home last week.
In both of these cases the attending
physicians filed certificates without the
formality of consulting the coroner,
and in both cases DR.. Miller filed a
second certificate.
When seen last night. DR.. Miller
said:
This move on my part is not be-
cause Of any doubt in my mind as to
the ability of the attending physicians
to render a correct decision. but the
statutes of the state of Minnesota
provide most concisely and Iucidly for
all contingencies in this respect 1t
is stated distinctly that in d case
where the patient dies from any cause
whatsoever, not having had the care
of a physician tWenty-four hours pre-
viously, the attending physician must
notify the coroner. In neither the
Ward or StapletOn case did [ receive
any notification. A record of all these
cases must be made in this office, and
am simply trying to see if I cannot
have it So"

The big cold storage warehouse
promised for st. Paul is practically as

scribed to permit the drafting of plans,
and if nothing intervenes ground for
the structure will be broken in the
spring.
The site decided upon is the Wag-
ener tract just east of the south APP
proach to the Wabasha bridge, and it
is understoodoan option has been taken
on the land. The figure demanded by
the owners was $4,000, and this the
syndicate has agreed to pay
The SWifts, it is said, will control the
stock, something not relished by Min
neapoliS which sees in the venture the
passing of a business that has been
theirs ever since the Booth warehouse
was erected in that city. The Swifts
patronize the Booth house almost ex-
clusively, but will abandon it as soon
as the local warehouse is completed.
According to an architect who has
been approached regarding the draft
Ing of plans, the West side warehouse
will represent an expenditure of $780,
600 if constructed on the basis of the
plan outlined. The building is to be
seven stories high and fire proof in

WINEROOM KEEPERS
MAY ESCAPE ALL
PUNISHMENT
After Tom Ireton Is Con-
victed by Jury His Attor-
ney Makes the Point That
Crime Charged Is Not In
dictabIe-Statute Held to
Be Defective-Co Takes
Case Under Amusement.

At the conclusion of the trial of Tom
Ireton, found guilty by jury in Judge
Kelly's court yesterday afternoon OF
keeping a disorderly house, Attorney
Harvey Hall, representing the convict
ed man, raised a point of law which
it is expected will result in not only
the discharge of his client without
punishment, but the dismissal Of all
of the remaining disorderly cases, as
well as the release from the Workhouse
of Max Grozovslxy, who was sentenced
for ninety days after having been found
guilty of similar offense.
The point raised by Attorney Hall
is that under the statutes the district
court has no jurisdiction in such cases,
and for the further reason that the
offense of keeping a disorderly house
is not indictable by a grand jury.
When the jury had returned YER
dict of guilty against IretOn, County
Attorney Kane moved for immediate
sentence, but Attorney Hall asked for
an arrest of judgment on the grounds
above stated. He read from the laws
of 1897, which describe a disorderly
house and provide for penalty of not
less than So nor more than $50 fine
upon conviction. The offenSe, under
this statute, is not an indictable one,
and as it provides for fine of less than
$10O, is not within the jurisdiction of
the district court The statutes of
1899 amend this law by adding two
or three words, but provide no pun
ishment and contain no repeating
clause. The cases were being prose-
cuted under laws passed previous to
the one quoted by Mr.. Hall.
Law Made for Country Districts.
County Attorney Kane was some
what surprised at the point raised by
the defendants counsel, but had little
to say regarding the matter after court
had adjourned.
While the law under which MIR. Hail
expects to secure the release of his
client is one presumably passed to re-
lieve certain conditions in the country
districts, the OVerSi ght of the legisla-
ture in not adding a repeating clause
and its further failure to provide Il
punishment in the law passed in 1899
does not detract from the strength of
the point raised, and many attorneys
believe twill result in a discharge of
the prisoner, who under this statute,
could be tried only in a municipal or
justice court.
Judge Kelly took the matter under
Amusement and promised to give his
decision either today or Monday
Should the courts decision sustain
the contention of Mr.. Hall, all of the
remaining cases against salOonkeepeT5
charged with keeping disorderly houses
will necessarily have to be dismissed
and until the decision is rendered, no
more of these cases will be called
Ireton's trial was commenced We'd
nesday and went to the jury yesterday
noon. Two hours later a verdict of
guilty was returned.

RECEIVERS HIS VALISE
CONTAINING 5000
Hans Anderson Loses It. at a Board :
ing House, but Is Fortunate.

Yesterday a very eXcitable man, Civ
ing his name as Hans Anderson, a rail
road laborer, came to police headquar-
ters and reported the loss % 4 bag,
known among WOodsmen and iaborers
as d turkey" in which he said there
Vas q $200-chack, besides all his earth
ly belongings. ~'' Fl
He was yisibly worked up over the
matter and seemed to think that the
people at the boarding house where
he had stayed on Jackson street had
spirited the receptacle away. An in
Vesdgation was commenced by Detec-
tive La Vale. Late at night man
entered the central station with the bag
and introduced himself as the board
ing house keeper, William Johnson by
name.
He explained that after the owner Of
the bag had left the house the women
who were doing the work thought it
was some old bag that hal been dis
carded by a temporary boarGer and
threw it outside. Another boarder
who was going to South ST. Paul to
work mistOok it for his own as it lay
upon the Veranda, where he had piac-
ed his own. He picked it up and went
on his way, and it was not till he mad
got to South ST. Paul that he found
out his error. He immediately sent it
in and Johnson returned it to the CEN
trail station, where Anderson was
awaiting the recovery of it in q per-
turDed state of mind.

D. S. CULVER SUCCEEDS
Mr.. JOCKEY AS CASHIER
Action of Directors Of the National
German American Bank.

The board of directors of the Ma
tiOnal German-American bank of this
city have recently elected Mr.. ID. s.
Culver cashier by a unanimous vote
to take the place Of Mr.. Joseph Jockey,
who resigns to take the presidency of
a new bank soon to be organized in
this city. Mr.. Jockey retires after
twenty years service with the full re-
speCt and most cordial feeling between
himself and the management Of the
bank he leaves, including every MEM
Der of the board of directors. He
leaves wholly of his own motion. Mr..
d. S. Culver, who succeeds him, is at
present national bank examiner for
Minnesota and Wisconsin, and has oc-
cupied that position for about three
years with great credit. Prior to that
time and since leaving school he was
engaged as cashier of the American
Exchange Bank of West Superior. His
entire business experience has been
banking, and his father was engaged
in the same business before him. Mr..
Culver is a very pleasant gentleman
to meet, makes acquaintance easily
and will make a good successor to Mr..
Jockey, who has so long and honor
ably filed the position. The change,
however, will not take place till April
1. Mr.. Culver is not an entire stranger
to St. Paul, as he has quite a large
acquaintance here. He is a single man
about thirty-four years of age.

A TOWER OF STRENGTH

The showing made by The Pruden-
tai insurance Company of America
whose home office is at Newark, N. j.,
fully entities it to the claim of pos
sessing the Strength of Gibraltar"
During 1902 the Prudential wrote
over $272,000,000 of new insurance
paid for, which amount is the largest
ever written by any life insurance
company of the same age. It's report
on Jan. 1, 1903, was as follows: Paid
for insurance in force, $500, 600, 900. on
nearly 100000 policies, with assets
over $60,O00,OOO; surplus over $1,000
900; annual income over $50, 600. 600:
paid policy holders during 1902 over
$4,000, 900, making total payment to
pollcy-holders since the foundation of
the company of nearly $4,000, 900.
This record speaks for itself. Those
who wish to know more about this
progressive company and Of its popular
policies, which are adapted to all ages.

SUIT GROWS OUT OF
BOOM TIME CONCERN
Albert Scheffer and Partners Sued by
Lumber Company.

Suit for $12,455 has been commenced
in the district court against Albert
Scheffer, Henry Poehler, Daniel AL
berle, Henry A. Castle and others, who
We're partners in the st. Paul Insur-
ance Company syndicate"
The suit grows out of the failure of
the insurance company several years
ago, the litigation over which has befgl
in the courts for several years. The
plaintiff company alleges that it con-
tributed $4,000 to the syndicate of
stockholders who purchased the claims
against the insolvent corporation that
the syndicate raised fund of $54 ,11482
and bought SO per cent of the valid
claims against the company, aggregat-
ing $4S5 ,32S.57, and that the syndicate
received dividends thereon from the
receiver and assignee in the total sum
of $224,194.
In the. stockholders liability suit the
syndicate offset against the claims of
the receiver these purchased claims
in the sum of $2OA200, paying the
double liability in full, but the plain
tiff was, by the decision of the SUI
preme court, relieved of liability as a
stakeholder.

ONLY VICTIMS OF
FAMINE ARE AIDED
Governor of Province of NOrr-
bOtten Writes of Condi-
lions in His Domain.

In reply to an inquiry addressed by
Rev. L. Bergin, Scandinavian minister
at Cambridge. Mimi, to the King of
Sweden, with reference to the need of
outside assistance for the famine
stricken sufferers in Sweden, letter
has been received from Karl J. Berg
Strom, governor of the province of
Norrbotten, in which, under date Of
Jan. IL, he gives general idea Of
what is being done towards distribut-
ing relief
Gov Bergstrom states that he has
organized committees in various parts
of the province, and receives constant
reports from them as to the necessi-
ties of the different parishes, SO that
he is able to say personally that no
contributions are given to those who
are able to care for themselves. No
money is given to any one, the plan
adopted being to purchase supplies and
distribute these in small Quantities
where most needed.
AT the time of writing, he hoped
that for While at least, the fund
would be sufficient to prevent any
cases of actual starvation, although no
doubt many would be unable to 'eat
their fill" 1t is further stated that,
owing to the great simplicity of the
life of the people now in want, the
effects of the famine are more marked,
as at the best times, they have the
bare necessities, and to deprive them
of any of these, means starvation.
Under the direction of the king Of
Sweden a pamphlet has been issued
stating in detail what the needs of
the various districts are. These needs
are classed as temporary, that is to
say the present actual necessities, and
future, under this head being the re-
lief which will be necessary when the
next seasons crop comes to be planted,
and when it will be necessary to sup
ply great many people with cattle
and seed grain.
The situation so far as the cattle are
concerned, was not at the time the
governors letter was written, so deS-
perate as subsequent reports would in
dictate, quite a number of the farmers
having been able to lay up enough
fodder to keep the animals for a por-
ton of the winter.
The governor says that one of the
great anXieties of the various COM
mittees is to avoid making the suffer-
ers dependent upon others for their
support, as he believes the less they
get consistent with keeping them alive,
the better it will be for their indie
pendence of spirit in the long run.
Still, there are between seventy and
eighty thousand people to be looked
after, and an enormous amount of
money is required to purchase the
necessary supplies.
The distress is greatest in the inter-
ior of the province at points from
fifty to a hundred miles from rail-
way, where it is difficult to reach
those in need, and still more diff
cult to take in supplies.
The province of Norrbotten, over
which Mr.. Bergstrom5 is governor, is
stated to be approximately the size of
the state of Minnesota, and is noun
famous and difficult of access. It is
bounded on the west side by the gulf
of Bothnia and by Norway on the
east.

HEARING Will
Be EXPEDITED
Securities Case Is to Be Adj
yanced by Special
Bill.

The hearing of the cases of both the
government and state of Minnesota
against the Northern Securities COM
pany will in all probability take place
at a special term of the United States
circuit court soon after the taking Of
evidence before Special Examiner In
gerSOll is completed in the state case.
A bill making this possible has been
introduced in congress and has already
passed the house.. 1t will doubtless
become law within a few days.
The bill provides that cases of this
nature may, on written application Of
the attorney general, be heard before
judges of the United States circuit
court in the district In which the case
is brought. 1t further provides that
such cases on appeal viii go direct to
the supreme court, and not to the Cir
cult court of appeals, as the federal
statutes now provide.
The bill is said to have been intro
duced at the request of Attorney Gen.
eral Knox for the express purpose CT
expediting the cases against the
Northern Securities company. 1t has
been supposed that these cases would
be heard by Judge L0chren in April,
but upon the passage of the bill now
pending, the cases will be heard by
Judges Sanborn, OF St. Paul, Thayer,
of Little Rock, and Caldwell of Den
supreme court at Washington. All
of the parties concerned are anxious
Ito have the cases progress as rapidly
as possible.
The hearing will be in st. Paul, COM
mencing probably the second week in
April. The hearing of the state case
will follow that of the government case.
The taking of testimony by Special
/ Examiner Ingersoll in the state case
is almost completed. No more wit
hesses will be called, unless by the
state. The defense will introduce more
documentary evidence, but will not
call any witnesses.
AT the short session of the hearing
yesterday, documents containing The
bylaws of the component roads of the
Northern Securities company and q
statement by Edward Sawyer, of the
Great Northern, regarding the number
of shares of capital stock represented
at the annual meeting of that road
during the years 1899, 1900 and 1901
were presented. The hearing will be
resumed tomorrow.

DESERTER FROM NAVY
CAUGHT AT MORA
Boy Who Ran Away Says He VIII
. .-..s Have 1t Fixed.

Philip Naumann, deputy auditor of
kanabec county, and a young man
well connected was arrested at his
home in Mora yesterday by Deputy
United States Marshal Picha, on a
charge of deserving from the navy.
The young man was brought to ST.
Paul and is now in the county iail.
Naumann admits his guilt, but says he
has political influence and upon this
he relies to secure his freedom. Com
munication has already been opened
with Congressman Stevens with a view
to getting the young man out of his
trouble.
Naumann, who is but twenty-five
years old, enlisted in the navy at a
recruiting office in ST. Paul during the
month of January, 1901. He says he
was not of age at the time of his en-
listment, but claims the recruiting Of
ficer told him to say he was, ass mat
ter of FORM and it is upon this ground
that his release viii be asked. From
st. Paul he went to San Francisco, and
was placed on the training ship Mo-
hican. After a cruise, which took in
the Hawaiian islands and other points,
he returned to Puget sound in Septem-
Der of the same year.
when I got to Puget sound said
Naumann to T h e G 10 re last night,
Il decided to quit, so without saying
anything to anybody l packed up what
/ wanted to carry with me and came
home. I was tired of the navy and de-
cided to quit it,"
Naumann dies not take his arrest
seriously. He says he has influential
relatives and that they have enough
political influence to secure his dis
charge from the navy. He is a brother
in-law of Henry Rines, county auditor
of Kanabec county, and was filling the
position of deputy in the office when
| arrested.
w. H. Thomas, cashier of the whole
| sale grocery firm of the Winston Har-
| per-FTsher company, of Minneapolis, is
another of Naumann's brothers in law.
Unless the influence Naumann
| speaks of results in his release. he will
be taken backSto San Francisco to face
| a charge of deSertion.
