 We do not regard this as any un- lawful interference with the processes or proceedings of this court, and we therefore refuse to grant warrant in this case.
 "'We may say, however. that we think it is bad taste for any newspaper to comment on the merits of this case or any other case going on; they should certainly refrain from discussing the merits of any case pending in this court. It is highly improper; they have no right to try to influence the feeling or sentiments of jurors in re- gard to litigation that is going on in this court.
 "'Of coG.,e there have been great provocatlons here for the court to issue more than enc warrant in the last year, growing out of the unseemly conditions and suggestions of certain organs, and other matters have come under the consideration of the court In which we could have had a complete contempt of court; but we are not able to say here that the discussions, so far, have been beyond the license accorded to news. papers to comment on n,current events .. to mako their actions unlawful.

THE CITY'S FINANCES
Statement Showing How They Stand-The Salary Lists and Present Indebtedness of Town Together With Receipts
 and Disbursements.

A feature of the last meeting of the city council was castigation of Stev- ems, chairman of the finance committee, because it was alleged that he had made false and misleading statements as to the financial condition for selfish purposes. The city attorney also made the statement that he did not believe that the court would authorize the turning over of money due the city from general licenses, due, it was gath ered from the fact that the clerk of the district court. the custodian of the fund, had been instructed by special examin- CTS of the department of justice to de- posit government funds in a United States depositary in Seattle.
 Whom the council met all members were present with the exception of w. J. Rowe. Stevens, chairman of the finance committee, made his report, which caused discussion between him. self and Hill and Hoxsie. Hoxsie pointed out that the city's indebtedness was now S29, ,Q00, as against S33, ,000, when the present council took their seats in April last. He stated that the chairman of the finance committee (Stevens) bad made good many mis- statements, and didn't seem to think the city had acquired anything. He pointed out that Councilman Stevens idea of paying off the city's indebted ness was to give the people wind and paper. It was clear to him and every body else that Councilman Stevens was making grand stand play in regard to the council and economy, with the view of getting few votes at next election. As for himself he believed in giving the people good police protection, tirst-class fire service and improving the city gen. erally.
 The following is the report of the chairman of the finance committee

gome unknown philanthropist of Clear
Lake Mimi. has forwarded to Joseph C.
Clark $40, with which to satisfy the
mortgage on his furniture held by w. H.
Adamson, the money-lender. The obli-
cation has been met and the poor old
man is as pleased as child with new
toy over being freed from the burden Of
seven years. The letter, dated Sept 49,,
received few days ago, reads:
/ "Mr. Joseph c. Clark-Dear Sir: In
closed please find an express order for
$40 with which you will please pay the
debt you owe w. H. Adamson, 526 Bos-
ton block. According to the statement
printed in The Minneapolis Journal, you
have already paid SIP interest on that
amount, which I think Is about $110 too
much.
With faith in God and eternal Justice,
I remain, A Friend.

The recipient Of this letter and the in
closed order fastened to J. w. Crane,
the local attorney. hwo had taken charge
of his case for him. He was in the hap

attorney that at last he was going to get
out Of the clutches Of the money lender
who had been taking his money at the
rate of 50 per month for years and now
threatened to take his household furni-
ture
"You don't need to pay that s1o," ex-
plained Mr.. Crane You had better send
the money back. We will sue Adamson
and recover the interest"

sent to discharge that debt and I am going
to do it. I don't want to take any chances.

NEW CONDUIT LIMITS
Council Committee on Underground
Wires Considers Cutting Down
Of Present Limits.
If Committee Reports Favorably the
City Council Will Take Mat
ter Up at Once.

Along with the franchise Of the Mime
apolis General Electric company, the
council committee on underground wires
Is considering the matter of cutting down
the conduit district which now extends out
to Lake street. Neither the electric COM
ordinance.
1t is now proposed to reduce the district
fully a half. The limits suggested by the
sub committee and presented this after
noon to the full committee include a mar
row strip between Washington avenue and
Second street as far as Plymouth avenue,
whereas under the present limits North
Minneapolis within Bryant avenue, and
Twenty-second avenue N is inside the dis
trict. On the south side the proposed dis
tricts is that bounded by Cedar avenue,
Franklin to Humboldt to Douglas to
Kenwood boulevard to Lyndale to the rail-
way tracks. The limits now extend to
Lake street, mile beyond Franklin av-
enue and take in some Of the most de-
sirable residence sections On the east,
where nearly all the second ward is in the
conduit district and large portion Of the
first, the proposed district includes the
territory bounded by Marshall avenue to
Broadway, to Central to Eighth street
Sc to Fourteenth avenue, to University
avenue, to Third avenue Sc, to the river.
Protected Districts
A new wrinkle will attach to the con-
duit district long strips including some
favored streets which are not to be pro-
famed by any more poles than are already
up. These strips include Hennepin, Mic
ollet, First Third, Portland and Park ave-
nues to Th1rtyf1rst street; Riverside ave-
nue. to Twenty avenue; Univer-
sty avenue to Oak street; Central avenue
to Twenty-seventh avenue NE; Plymouth
avenue to Irving, Washington to Twen-
tieth avenue N and along the latter to
Girard avenue. 49,. f.- So
No protection is offered to the handsome
residence districts in Kenwood nor about
Lake Of the Isles, nor Stevens avenue,
Second avenue, Chicago avenue, Clinton
avenue, nor many other thorofares fully
as desirable for residence purposes as
some which have been taken into the con-
duit districts. The proposed ordinance will
apply not only to the Minneapolis General
Electric company but to both the tele-
phone companies, both the telegraph COM
panies and all other corporations using
electric wires in their business.
If the committee favors the plan, the
ordinance will come up before the council
to- morrow evening for passage.

BIG, NEW CASINO
AT BAY ST. LOUIS.
The Biggest Institution Of the Kind
at Minnetonka Is
Projected.
Another Indication That the South
Shore Will Have First
Trolley Line.

An amusement pavilion, to be the big
gest thing Of the kind on the lake, Is one
of the projects due to be realized by
next season at Minnetonka.
The site under consideration Is at pres
ent occupied by the small pavilion at the
Hotel st. Louis landing.
This season saw the pavilion idea well
worked out for the first time in the Casino
at Excelsior. The capitalists behind the
Bay st. Louis plan have been watching
and analysing the signal success Of the
Excelsior institution and have decided that
the popularity Of this new feature war
rants another casino at some Minnetonka
point not too near.
This partially accounts for the prefer
ence already expressed for Bay St. Louis,
but the prospective accessibility Of the
place Is also strong factor, It has been
well understood for two years that when
company would extend its service to Min
netonka. The new power equipment Of
the company will be completed by next
season and not only Is Bay st. Louis the
nearest lake point but it has been gen.
orally believed for some time that when
an electric company could give assurance
OF service it could easily secure the use
Of a track to or near Hotel st. Louis.
It Is probable that decision to run
the first Minnetonka electric line to Bay
st. Louis may have some effect on another
casino project at Wayzata. This plan is
already fairly we'll matured and is in the
hands OF men who own good site and
have had some experience in that fine.
Such a resort at Wayzata without trolley
connections could not we'll compete with
a similar institution on the south shore if
the latter had quick transportation to and
from the city.
