MAIN LEADING TO
WEST. SIDE BREAKS
Sixteen Inch Water Pipe Un-
der Wabasha Street Is
Incapacitated.

9lels lueInqInl 1ueseId sql pInoQS
Of the Mississippi river at this point
disturb the big water main now resting
on the bed of the river at the foot OF
Broadway, the West side would be in
a bad fix.
Yesterday afternoon the sixteen inch
emergency main resting beneath the
flooring of the Wabasha street bridge,
was discovered to be broken and until
it is repaired the West side will have
to depend solely on the Broadway main
for it's supply of water.
An examination of the broken main
showed that one of the sections had
cracked in several places, and it can
only be replaced at a heavy cost and
much labor. An odd feature of the
break was that no water had been in
the pipe since fall. and the officials
can only offer the extreme cold weather
as a solution of the problem.
Men were put to work yesterday re-
moving the broken section, and a new
one will be put in as soon as the proper.
size can be obtained. The water de-
partment does not expect any trouble,
as the big main at Broadway Is ample
to supply the West side with water,
but 1t admits that the residents and
property on that side of the river would
be in a bad way if an accident should
happen to the Broadway main.

All of PatrOlman Pugleasa's
Alleged Assailants Are

wound bothered him considerably but he
experienced but slight pain from the other
two injuries.

NEW ARMORY MAY
NOT BE BUILT
Boston Firm, Which Made
Highest Bid for Bonds,
Questions Law.

The proposed new armOry for st.
Paul is again in the air. r. L. Day &
Co., Of Boston, who submitted the
highest bid for the bond issue Of $780,
600 two weeks ago, have practically
repudiated their offer.
They doubt the constitutionality of
the law authorizing the Issue and an
nounce that until more tangible evil
dence of it's legality is shown them,
they will withhold their offer.
The principal contention of r. L.
Day e. Co. is that the law authorizing
the issue is special legislation, and
also that 1t is Illegal, in that 1t is de-
signed to cure what the courts char
acterized as an Illegal act. They have
asked for further information, but as
the finance committee and the armory
board have been doing but little else
the past week, it is generally taken for
granted that the firm desires to recall
it's offer.
Il can't say that the firm has flat
ly refused to take the issue at the
price it bid, but it is inclined to doubt
the constitutionality of the law" said
Corporation Attorney Michael yester-
day. Money is very tight just now
is what is influencing the Boston COM
pany."
Maj. G. c. Lambert, of the armory
board, last night denied that the Bos-
ton firm had refused to take the bonds,
but admitted that The company was
making a searching Investigation.
ut has simply asked for certain au-
! thorities and we forwarded them the
information today" said Maj. Lambert
last night.
The city holds a certified check for
$4,000 belonging to the Boston firm
and Maj. Lambert last night announc-
ed that it would be held if the COM
pany went back on, it's offer. He says
the law IS perfectly valid and the COM
pany can-be held.
If the bonds are turned down, it
will be the second time that st. Paurs
new armory has suffered a reverse.
Less than year ago a similar issue
was rejected, and now with the news
of second rejection, the members of
the guard are beginning to feel that
| they will never get a new armory.

ALDERMEN HOLD UP
REQUEST FOR LEASE
Think Levee Land Ought to Yield
More Than 81 a Year.

The st. Paul Cornice G. Roofing
company last night requested the board
Of aldermen to be permitted to assume
the West side levee lease now enjoyed
by the Gedney Picking company, but
was refused until the committee on
streets could look into the matter.
The st. Paul Cornice & Roofing
company is at present located on the
east side of the south approach of the
Wabasha bridge, but it's business has
outgrown the present quarters, and
the firm has secured the buildings Of
the Gedney Picking company on the
west side of the bridge, providing the
city is agreeable to the transfer of the
lease.
The ordinance proposing the transfer
called for a twenty-five year lease at
an annual rental of 81 year, and this
did not meet the views Of Aid. Hinkens,
who thought it too cheap. He thought
it was one of the most valuable cor
ners on the West side and to give it to
this firm at 81 a year would be to dis
criminate against other firms that were
paying heavy rental. His protest was
so vigorous and some of his remarks
so pointed that the members agreed
with him on a reference to the COM
mittee on streets.
Representatives of the firm present
admitted doing a business last year of
$311, 900, and this led Mr.. Hinkens to
lemark that it was no infant industry
that need any coddling"

THINKS JACKSON
WILL REMAIN
President Warner of the Fire
Board Doesn't Expect
Any Change.

Il do not think there will be any
change in the office Of chief of the fire
department. st. Paul now has tIree
OF the most competent fire chiefs In
the United States. and think the pub
lie and a majority of the board are
agreed that it would not be wise to
change them"
President Warner, of the board Of
hre commissioners, was emphatic in
making this statement yesterday, and
1T came in response to the question as
to what the board Intended to do at the
annual meeting to be held on the 25th.
Il am simply speaking for myself in
this matter" added Mr.. Warner There
has been lots Of talk but that Is about
all there is to it. In any event this is
how L feel in the matter The cleo
tion will be held whether Mr. Freeman
Is in the city or not. The charter pro-
vides for 1t and we have no other al
tentative but to obey"
President Freeman's announced posi-
tlOn puts different aspect on the cleo
ton Of fire chief. Many have as
serted that he is a supporter of Sec
ond Assistant Chief Strapp. Chief
jackson now has two avowed support
ers, President Warner and Commits
sioner Brace, though he has so far re-
fused to say anything.

RANDOLPH STREET
WILL HAVE NO LINE
Aldermen Defeat Ordinance
Ordering Street Railway
to Relay Tracks.

Tired of waiting for committee ac-
ton, and disgusted with promised con-
ferences with the head officials Of the
Twin City Rapid Transit company,
which were never realized. Randolph
street property owners, backed by Aid.
Rohland, faced the board Of aldermen
last night with an ordinance calling
street car line. The measure was
killed.
The ordinance proposed an extension
of the Seventh street line as far as
Pascal avenue on Randolph street, but
1t was opposed from the start by Aid.
Dobner, to the extent that he at first
secured its defeat and later relented
to the extent of allowing it's reference
to the committee on streets.
Those who backed him in the op-
position to the line were Aids. Busch
mann, Dahlquist Holt and President
Huber. The members standing soTidly
with Aid. Rohland and the residents
of the Fifth ward were Aids. Bantz,
Corning, Hfnkens and Moriarty.
Aid. Dobner, who has fought the
building of the line ever since it was
proposed, led the opposition. He ac-
cused Aid. Rohland of discourtesy in
bringing UP a matter that was still in
the committees hand. Dobner demand
ed that 1T be sent to the committee
in order that Aid. Elder might be per-
mitted to have his say, but later ex-
planned his opposition by stating that
the building of the line would cripple
scheme of a cross-town line in the
st. Anthony district, which is now
projected.
Aid. Rohland insisted on vote and
got it, with the result that his ordinance
was lost. However, 1t was later resur-
rected and sent to the committee on
streets. A large number of the proper
ty owners along the proposed line at
tended the council meeting.
All Of them say they have paid
dearly for a line that was taken away
from them. Its construction does not
mean any money out Of the city's
pocket and they cannot understand
why some of the aldermen insist on
voting against it.

RAIN HAD NO EFFECT
ON ENTHUSIASM
YESTERDAY
Green Was Conspicuous On
the Breasts of Loyal Sons
of the Emerald Isle and
Their Friends, and Many
Entertainments Marked
the Day.

1t was est. Patrick's day in the
morning" yesterday, but the celebra-
tions in honor of the saint in ST. Paul
were held mostly in the evening.
At a number of the Catholic churches
the memory of ST. Patrick was hon
ored by the celebration of masses fol-
lowed by sermons, in which the deeds
Of the patron saint Of the Emerald
Isle were recounted and his praises
eloquently sung.
Thousands of st. Paul citizens who
are proud of their Celtic ancestry, dec
GRATED themselves with "a bit O. green"
while others proudly displayed slips
Of shamrock brought from across the
water. The Wearers of the green were
not confined to those who rightfully lay
claim to the privilege but nearly every
person on the streets was properly dec
Grated.
There was no parade and the wealth
er was such that even had one been
planned to mark the observance Of
the day this feature would have had
to be abandoned. Members of the So
c1etles and orders which take part in
st. Patrick day parades congratulated
themselves that there was no march
Ing, although some of the old timers
recalled the fact that they had
marced' in worse weather, and would
do it again if the opportunity Of
fered.
There were entertainments galore in
the evening, and as one of the orators
put 1t the weather, no matter how
stormy, cannot put damper on the
enthusiasm Of an Irishman on st. Pat
rick's day."
Entertainments Drew Crowds.
In seven of the church parishes pro-
grammes were given w / n were heart
lily enjoyed by audiences which packed
each of the halls to the doors.
Edward J. Cannon was the orator
of the evening at the St MichaeFs
parish entertainment; Patrick Henry
talked on "The Day We Celebrate" at
st. Vincent's hall, and Rev. NJ CAL
Iagher delivered the eulogy on st. Pat
rick at the entertainment given by
st. Patrick's parish
At these and the other entertain
ments the programmes included songs,
musical selections and sketches in
which the sentiment Of the day pre-
vailed.
At st. Vincents parish there were
choruses by the school children and
solos by John F. Gehan and Charles
Perlman, the boy soprano. The pupils
Of ST. Mary's school presented drama
entitled The Shannon Boys" and the
st. Johns Dramatic club put on
Shamrock and Rose" at st. Johns
hall. AL Flournoy had charge of an
excellent programme which was pre-
sented at the st. MiehaePs parish en-
tertainment.

GOVERNMENT WILL RUN
IT'S OWN STEAM DREDGES
Controversy Settled by the Assistant
Secretary of War.

WASHINGTON, D. c., March IL
Assistant Secretary of War Sanger
today decided the controversy touching
the right Of the government to build
and operate its own steam dredges.
The strongest issue was made in the
case of the Lake Erie dredge, for the
building of which S175,0O0 was appro-
priated in the last river and harbor
bill. Private dredging interests along
the lakes made vigorous fight
against the engineering department of
the army to prevent the construction
of the boat, alleging that it would cut
down their profits and injure their
business. without benefiting the gov
ernment in cheaper rates for dredging.
Gen. Gillespie chief of engineers, on
the other hand, held that a seagoing
dredge boat such as he proposed to
build. would do work much cheaper
and quicker than private dredges. As
sistant Secretary Sanger supported
this view and ordered the boat to be
built. Similarly he has ordered dredg-
es to be built for the eastern shore of
Lake Michigan and for. the Fox river.

WHITAKER WRIGHT
DEFENDED BY HIS LAWYER
Latter Talks Freely Before Getting
Into Court.


Into Court.
NEW YORK, March 17.-Mr. Inter
myer, counsel for Whitaker Wright,
said today:
Il have naturally talked a great deal
with Mr.. Wright, and 1 can say that he
feels much more keenly the slurs cast
upon his niece than he does his own
position. He would return to England
at once If the British government would
be willing to have this extradition dis
missed. The absurdity of this charge
is self-evident. 1t is made by a man
who became disgruntled on account Of
losses he sustained in the failure Of the
London & Globe company Mr. Wright
tells me this warrant was sworn out
by broker named Flower who lost
money. The charge against Mr.. Wright
Is circulating false reports. The Eng
lish government, after threshing
this thing out before all kinds of tri-
bunals, decided 1t could find no criminal
liability against the directors of whom
Mr.. Wright was one"
