TURN TABLES ON
CARNIVAL cOPPERS
City and County Officials Take
Them Prisoners and Each
Is Fined ST.

The policemen" in charge of the
carnival patrol visited the court house
and city hall once too often yesterday.
After making two successful haulS
from the building in the afternoon it
was decided to make the third, but in
the meantime the attaches of the build
ing had formed a conspiracy and when
the wagon drew up at the Cedar street
entrance Of the building and the Off
GERS made rush for their victims they
ran right into the arms of the conspira-
tors
Before they were fairly inside the
building they were pounced upon,
thrown to the floor and handcuffed.
They We're so greatly outnumbered
that resistance was useless, and within
a very short time they were being
marched back to the wagon, prisoners
themselves. A long chain, to which
were attached a dozen pairs of hand
cuffs, had been secured from the
county Jail for the occasion, and the
policemen were all handcuffed together,
their clubs taken from them, and in the
midst of the jeering mob, they were
placed in their own patrol wagon and
taken to the carnival court, prisoners
themselves.
The Inundated officers who had
promised to return with a wagon filled
with live ones, were marched before the
court where they were fined 81 apiece
for permitting themselves to be cap
tured

ARMY STAFF WILL
VISIT SMELLING
Upon Its recommendations
Will Depend Enlargement
of the Post.

Fort Smelling will be visited next month
by the general staff Of the United States
army, and upon the recomm endation of
the officers depends the naturalization of
the projected improvements for the post.
The congressman who visited the fort
few weeks ago were here in an unofficial
capacity, but their recomm endation, it is
said, will carry great weight with the
army department at Washington. In fact.
it is said that the order to the general
staff to visit and inspect the post is a
direct outcome of the congressmens trip
to the Northwest.
A. B. Capron, of Rhode Island, who was
one of the members of the party which
inspected Fort Smelling, called at the war
department few days ago and suggested
that the general staff pay Smelling visit.
Mr. Capron is a member of the house COM
mittee on military affairs. so his recon-
mendations regarding the fina! disposition
of the project to enlarge and improve the
fort will not be lightly regarded.
But the final decision is up to the gen
eral staff, and if the officers who are mem
bers of it favor the Improvements outlin-
ed. it is quite sure that the work will be
carried through. The date for the staff
visit has not been set. but the officers will
be in ST. Paul some time during the latter
part of August. -,
While in the Northwest the staff will
visit and inspect the other army posts III

alighting when McBurney, in stepping
out of the wagon was thrown forward
by the sudden starting of the horses.
In trying to regain his balance his foot
caught in the bunting with which the
wagon was trimmed and he fell side
ways, violently wrenching his right leg.
The fracture is regarded as extremely
serious, and will conf1ne McBurney to
bed for some time. McBurney was
taken to st. Josephs hospital in the

EXAMINERS PLAN TO
RAISE ON JOBBERS
is TURNED DOWN
Board of Equalization Refuses
to Change Schedules Return
ed by the Assessor-Politics
Mixed i'm the Scheme.

The pet scheme of County Auditor
Krahmer for increasing the total of
the personal property tax assessment
of Ramsey county some $5,000,0Oo was
turned down by the board of equallza-
ton yesterday, when that body almost
unanimously refused to Interfere WIN
assessments as returned by Assessor
Conley. Only County Commissioners
Pottgieser and Nash favored the plan
submitted by the county auditor, and
the matter was readily disposed OF by
a motion to leave the assessments as
they had been returned.
County Auditor Krahmer announced
to the board some days ago that he
would present plan whereby the total
assessment could be materially IN
creased, and for more than week
past he has had clerks at work pre-
pairing a comparative list Of assess
ments to be presented to the board.
The list included more than loo lead
ing Wholesale and manufacturing con-
Germs, all of whom the auditor thought
should be raised. He presented the
list at the meeting yesterday, with the
request that it be referred to COM
mittee for investigation, but the board
disposed of the matter in another
manner, and one not at all pleasing TO
Mr.. Krahmer, who had devoted so
much time to preparing the list.
When the board had Considered the
assessment of one or two of the firms
in the auditors list and declined to
change the assessment as made by the
assessor, Mr.. Krahmer again asked
that the list be referred for inveStiga-
ton, but Aid. Dobner moved that the
assessments as returned against the
wholesale and manufacturing con-
Germs by Assessor Conley be allowed to
cto Mr. ra h nd COO1rOi ~
ers Nash and Pottgieser voted against
the motion.
A. H. Lindeke was present at the
meeting, and in answer to question
stated that the wholesale and manu-
featuring firms were satisfied with the
returns made by Mr.. Conley and deem
ed them just and equitable. Referring
to the assessments, Mr.. Lindeke said:
Assessor Conley's assessment of
wholesale and manufacturing firms is
the fairest ever made in the county.
Nearly all of us have been raised. but
justly so, and we have no complaint to
make. The manufacturers and job
bers have discussed the matter and all
agree that the assessments are cor
rect
County Auditor Krahmer was very
much disappointed at the action of the
board in turning down his recon-
mendations, and so was Commissioner
Pottgieser.- 1t was limited about the
court house that politics had much to
do with the attitude of Mr.. Pottgieser.
''It is not the assessment so much as
the assessor that Mr.. Pottgieser wants
to find fault with" declared a we'll
posted politician after the meeting.
''It has been known for some time that
Commissioner Pottgiesera has very
we'll developed desire to become can
didate for assessor himself, and 1t
looks as though he were already pre-
pairing his campaign material by find
ing fault with Assessor Conleys meth
cd of doing business"
