RUNDLETT SENDS
NOTE TO OHACE
City Engineer Wants Health
Commissioner to Restrain
Himself.

city Engineer Rundlett has limited to
Health Commissioner Ohage that if he
wants to continue experimenting the
collection and disposition of garbage
he must discontinue the cleaning of
alleys and vacant lots The one, he
says, belongs to his department, and
the other is illegal, because it is pri-
vate property.
Health Commissioner Ohage has re-
piled that he is willing to forego the
cleaning of alleys if the engineering
department will give them the proper
attention, but, as to vacant lots, he will
continue as he has been doing.
TWO letters, each along the lines of
the above, passed between City Engi-
neer Rundlett and Health Commits
sloner Ohage yesterday, and while they
were couched in pleasant and diplo-
matte language, there was a note of
warning in each.
Because of a mistake in the compila-
uon OF the charter which attached the
garbage fund to the street and sewer
fund, that department is under the d.
rectlon Of City Engineer Rundlett. In
line with past policy, however, he per-
mlts. the health department to handle
the business. AS a health precaution
DR.. Ohage has been using some of the
money to clean alleys and weed-cov-
cred lots, and it is to these expendi-
lures that Mr.. Rundlett objects.
While willing to pass up the alleys
DR.. Ohage says 1t is necessary to clean
lots that are dirty and overgrown with
weeds which are generally to be found
on vacant property. Because of the alb
sence of any law which will allow the
arrest of the agent or recourse against
the property the removal Of the weeds
must be done at the city's expense.
The latter, DR.. Ohage insists, he will
have to continue as heretofore, as it is
necessary for the public health.

WILL PLEAD FOR
OLSON TODAY
Attorney Expected to Appear
in His Behalf Before
Pardon Board.

The case Of Ole G. Olson, whose exc
cution, set for March 6, was stayed by
reprieve issued by Gov. Van SAINT,
will be taken up by the state pardon
board today at a special meeting.
Attorney Hall, Of Aitkin, who repre-
sentS Olson, is expected to be on hand
with bundle Of affidavits bearing on
the question of the insanity Of the con-
demned man.
Under section 7407 Of the statutes,
the governor is granted power to stay
the execution of a person condemned
to death If it is shown that such per-
son is insane.
Although none Of the three members
of the pardon board was advised yes
terday that Attorney Hall would ap-
pear, 1T was the understanding that
the insanity of Olson would be called
to the attention of the board, and in
this event it is probable that experts
will be sent to the county Jail at Ait
kin to examine him.
1t was expected that the application
of Louis Carriveau, now under sentence
of death at Duluth, for a Communication
OF his sentence to life Imprisonment
would be acted on by the board. The
fact that transcript of the evidence
in the case has not been forwarded to
the board will prevent definite action
being taken, although the arguments
Tor and against the granting Of the ap-
pIcaiOn may be heard.
Clerk Moos, of the pardon board, was
notified yesterday by the clerk of the
district court that it was impossible to
complete the transcript for several
days. Carriveau claims to have been
insane when he killed his victim by
reason of poisoned whisky having been
given to him by the man he murdered.
The application Of Ruth B. Clark,
now doing seven months in the Ram
sey county Jail, will also be considered.
Mrs. Clark asks for full pardon on the
ground that she is soon to become a
mother.

TWO FARIBAULT
MEN BANKRUPT
Anton HoltOn, HOtelkeeper,
Is Deeply Indebted to
His Employees.

If the Mattresses employed in the ho-
tel conducted by Albert Holton, at
Faribault, had any hopes for new East
er bonnets this year, those hopes went
glimmering yesterday, when Mr.. Holton
filed a petition in bankruptcy, in which
his liabilities are largely in excess of
his assets.
Among the items contained in the
schedule Of liabilities is one for $473.55
owing to the mattresses and other help
employed about the hotel. These
debts run from So to $50 to each en-
ploye. He gives his total assets as
So, 700, but $4,000 Of this amount is in
the form of an insurance policy, which
cannot be converted into cash, and $95
is claimed as exempt under the law.
His liabilities are scheduled at $3,-
02S.54.
Among Mr.. Holton's assets is one
military suit, an officers uniform,
valued at $50, and sword and belt
valued at SIS.
Another Faribault citizen to go into
bankruptcy yesterday was L. Maxwell,
a merchant. His liabilities are 81
989.43, and his assets $4,000, of which
$50 is exempt.

DR.. APPLEBY WAIVED
CLAIM TO WIFE'S :.
PROPERTY
He Signed Ante Nuptial
Agreement Relinquishing
ALI Claims Upon the Es-
tate of Cornelia Day Will
der Appleby---Will Admit
ted to Probate.

The will Of the late Cornelia Day
Wilder Appleby was admitted to pro-
bate yesterday afternoon. The probable
value of the estate is estimated to be
''in excess" of $25O,0OO, equally divided
between real and personal property
Upon the petition of Fanny S. Wilder,
the mother, and T. E. w. Villiers APP
pleby, the husband, Victor NJ. Wat
kins and Charles S. Spencer, together
with the petitioners, were named as ex-
ecutors.
Along with other papers filed in the
matter in the probate court yesterday
was an ante-nuptial agreement, en-
tered into between DIR. Appleby and his
late wife before they were married.
The agreement, which covers three
typewriter pages, is dated May IA,
1897, and provides that DR.. AppIeby
waive all rights to any claim upon the
estate, or any part thereof of Cornelia
Day Wilder. By the terms Of the
agreement, which anticipates the mar
rage Of Miss Wilder to DR.. Appleby,
the wife is given the right to dispose
of her entire estate as she sees fit
The agreement, which bears the sig
natures of the principals and three
witnesses, debars DR.. Appleby from
claiming any portion of the estate left
by his wife other than provided for
in her will.

HOSPITAL MUST PAY
TAXES ON PROPERTY
Board of Abatement Refuses to Chance
Assessment

The board of abatement yesterday,
acting upon the advice of Corporation
Attorney Michael, refused to abate
taxes on property controlled by the
Norwegian Hospital association, the
income from which is devoted to hos
pltal uses. Hospital property proper is
exempt from taxation, but is contended
that this property is not connected with
the hospital, being business property
owned by the association, and there
fore not exempt.
The board abated the taxes assessed
against the property of Miss NJ. NJ.
Seward, located on Jackson street,
Miss Seward appeared before the board
personally, and asked that the taxes
be abated, for the reason that the prop
erty was all but worthless. No income
has been received from it for some
time, and upon the showing made by
Miss Seward the rebate was allowed.
Upon the recommendation Of AS
SCISSOR Conley, the assessment Of $685.
$40 against property belonging to the
Northwestern Mutual Life Insurance
company was reduced to $31,340. The
property is located in various sections
OF the city, and it is now learned that
at the time the assessment was made
much of the property was unoccupied.
The board acted upon more than
thirty applications for attachments yes
terday, the greater number Of which
were refused. The board will sit again
next Tuesday afternoon.

WILL SELECT ROUTE
FOR PHALEN PARK LINE
Park Board and Street Car Company
to Pick Out a Street.

For nearly two months the park
board has been endeavoring to have
Forest street graded, in order that the
81. Paul street railway might be fur
hlshed with direct route for its pro-
posed extension to Phalen park, but
cess. The property owners do not
wish to incur the expense.
Inc property along the street is own
ca by four parties. among them the
6etnel association, and everv induce
ment has been made to secure their
consent, but without avail. The street
car company has purchased the necesS
sary rails, and now the park board
VIII select some other route. It will
probably be one of the graded streets
east Of Forest street, or, if the company
aeslres It, thoroughfare farther west.

WILL DANCE NO -.
MORE AT COLLEGE
Social Hops at Manchester
Will Be Things Of
the Past.

In the future. as in the past, tea
fights and pillow scrimmages will con-
tinue to be the chief diversions of the
coed at Manchester college. All the
girl students seen by T h G 10 b yes
terday stated that President Wallace's
interdict against the girls dancing with
the boys would not affect them at all,
for none of them had ever danced with
the male students.
There has always been an unwrit-
ten law against dancing, and therefore
we have never danced" explained a
senior primly.
Our class has not offended and GER
tainly We would not think Of having
hops and inviting the boys" said a
sophomore sedately.
Il know nothing about any infringe
ment of the rule against dancing" muir
INJURED a sophomore discreetly.
mo, we don't dance with the BOYS.
and only occasionally with each other"
stated a freshman almost regretfuIly.
Occasionally, all admitted, one of the
girls would sit down at the piano in
one of the college buildings and play a
tWo-step or a three-step and the girls
and boys would dance together. but
that was all. Now, of course, that thew
know that President Wallace disan-
proves of such informal dancing there
would be nothing more of the sort.

SMOKELESS COAL
is OBTAINABLE
Lower Grade Now Brings
1913 a Ton With Pros
pect Of Reduction.

Smokeless coal, for the past three
months decided luxury because of the
scarcity of the hard product. is now
obtainable, and the dealers are selling
1t at $6.25 a ton. One year ago It
brought only $3.50 a ton, but there is
little rear Of 1t dropping to that figure
again this year.
Smokeless coal is to be obtained in
two grades, the second quality or
which now retails at about 1915 a ton
and because Of It's freedom from dirt
and excellent steam making qualities,
Is much in demand by owners of heat
ing plants and factories. Its absence
during the hard coal scarcity compelled
the use OF Illinois coal, an inferior
article, which is now being slowly dis.
carded for the smokeless product
There Is enough of smokeIess coal
IN st. Paul at the present time to sat-
isfy all ordinary demands" said A. w.
Shade, Of the Jones & Adams Coal
company last night "The two grades
sold bring .$6.29 and $5.75 a ton, re-
spectiVely, but there will be a drop in
about thirty days, when some big
shipments now en- route arrive. A
figure Of S. will probably prevail about
May l, for by that time lake coal will
be coming in.
Last year the same coal brought
$3.50 ton, and the increase now is
solely due to the difference between
lake and rail shipments. It's aIl-raiI
coal now. During the hard coal scar
city smokeless brought as high as $40,
but that was due largely to the de-
mand, we being compelled to substitute
it for hard coal"
While still too high for some, many
steam-plant owners are gradually re
turning to the use Of the smOkeless
product, and 1t is expected that within
the next thirty days there will be lit
tie demand for the Illinois and In
diana products. Some Of the dealers
still have heavy stocks of this kind Of
coal, but they are getting rid Of it as
fast as possible.

WEINHOLZER is
NOW A FREE MAN
After an Hours Deliberation
Jury Agrees on Ac-
quittal.

Anton Weinholzer, proprietor of the
Empire theater, was yesterday after
noon declared not guilty Of running a
dlsorderly house in connection with his
theater
The jury was out but little more than
one hour. The verdict was reached on
the second ballot, the first ballot be-
ing eleven for, gacquittal and one for
The verdiet WIS somewhat of a sur
prise, disagreement having been pre-
d1cted by those familiar with the case.
There are no other indictments against
Weinholzer, and after the verdict had
been returned Judge Bum discharged
the defendant and ordered his bonds
men released from further liability
This is the first of the disorderly
house cases in which the defendant has
been acquitted, although in two of the
trials the jury has disagreed, one of
the disagree1nents being in the first
trial of the Weinholzer case.
The. outcome of the WeinhOlzer case
was disappointing to County Attorney
Kane, who has made a hard effort to
secure convictions in the cases of this
nature.
After court had adjourned Mr.. Kane
declined to say just what disposition
would be made of the remaining dis
orderly house cases, although he stated
remphatically that the indictments
would not be nolled. He intimated,
however, that, should the defendants
desire to enter pleas of guilty, a rec
ommendation would be made that a
fine be imposed instead of the COM
pulsory workhouse sentence. Hereto
fore, where convictions have been Sc
cured in these cases, the defendants
have been sentenced to, the workhouse
for three months, the limit, without the
option of fine '-' 49,
The Weinholzer case went to the
jury shortly before 1 o'clock yester-
day, and an hour and a half later. an
agreement had been reached After
court adjourned Mr.. Weinholzer thank
ed the jurors, and, walking over to
County Attorney Kane, shook hands
with him and assured him that he
bore him no hard feeling.
