Not Hold the Man Much
Longer.

No Information has been filed by
the United States authorities against
Peter Elliott, and Judge Harvey init
mated this morning that if such infor-
the man would be released.
It is thought that the complaint will
be made by United States Marshal
Grimshaw some time to-day and an
examination will then be held.
It is the general opinion of local Of
ficials who have seen and talked with
Elliott that he is not insane and it is
predicted that he will not be sent to
st. Peter or that if he is he will be
kept there but a short time.
His conversation seems rational and
he has exhibited no signs of violence
since his arrest after the White House
incident at. Washington.

A special meeting of the park board 8
committee on improvements was held this
noon at the Commercial club to talk over
improving the west river bank. Now that
the city has obtained possession of the

matters, fastened the calling of the meet
ing. The park commissioners want Mr.
Manning to design the improvements if
satisfactory terms can be arranged.
The board would also like to gain control
of the street which the council has re-
Gently opened from Thirtieth avenue and
Ninth street to franklin, as it will give
