C0NLEY REMAINS
COUNTY ASSESSOR
Auditor Krahmer, However,
Refuses to Sign Certificate
of Election.

Patrick Conley was yesterday elect
ed to succeed himself as county as
SCISSOR by the Ramsey county appoint
ment board, composed of Mayor Smith,
Auditor Krahmer and President. of the
Common Council Haas.
Mayor Smith and Mr.. Haas voted for
Mr.. COnley, while Auditor Krahmer
cast his vote for Edward Vanish, Re-
publican. Mr.. Krahmer later refused
to sign Mr.. Conley's certificate of cleo
ton. This action on the part of the
county auditor, however, will have no
effect, and Mr.. COnley will retain pos
session of his office.
The board met in the office of Mayor
Smith yesterday forenoon. Before a
ballot was taken, Mr.. Krahmer ques-
toned the legal right of Mr.. Haas to
sit as a member of the board, and
wanted the election deferred until an
opinion could be secured from the
county attorney.
Mayor Smith and Mr.. Haas could see
no necessity for such a delay, and the
baIlotlng was proceeded with, Mr.. Con-
ley receiving two votes. County Audi
tor Krahmer refused to participate in
any manner in the selection of a Dem
ocrat for the office, but, even in the
face of his strong partisanship, his re-
fusal to attach his signature to the
certificate of election came as a sur.
prise and caused much adverse COM
ment among court house officials of
both parties.
Mr.. Krahmer last night admitted
that Mr.. COnley was in every way
competent to fill the office, and that
he had been asked by several delega-
tions to support him, since it was I'M
possible to secure the election of a
Republican, but he failed to explain
his motive in refusing to sign the GER
tlhcate of election. Neither did he give
any reason for this in his letter to the
mayor, which is as follows:
Hon r. A. Smith. Chairman Board of
County COmmiSS iOnerS:
Il have arrived at the conclusion not to
sign the herewith enclosed document.
Very truly yours.
Edward G. Krahmer."
Accompanying this letter was the
certificate of election which had been
sent to the auditor for his signature,
Mayor Smith and Mr.. Haas having al
ready attached their signatures.
Mr.. Krahmer denied that he had
withheld his signature with a view of
any legal proceedings being brought,
but failed to explain just why he had
done so.

ago, and last evening eight more of
the pupils who confessed to having
been identified with the publication as
stockholders, were disciplined.
The suspensions are for an indeterm-
mate period, and the youths are to be
reinstated at the pleasure of Supt.
Smith.
The investigation conducted by the
board last evening to ascertain who
had written the offensive articles at
tacking Prof. Robinson, other mem
bers of the faculty, and several of the
pupils, was not at all successful. The
youths summoned before the board and
cross s-examined by Supt Smith, re-
fused to give the names of the authors
of the articles, and declared that
they were all equally guilty"
Authorship of Poem Concealed.
Neil Muir editor-in-c chief of the
paper, admitted that the paper was
published during the heat of an cleo
ton for president of the debating So
c1ety of the school, and it was not the
intention to attack any one. He said
some of he articles were pretty strong
and declared that he was sorry for
them. He submitted an agreement
signed by the ten pupils which formed
the company.
On cross examination by Supt.
Smith he declined to give the
names of the persons who had writ
ten the particularly offensive articles
One of these was a verse dedicated to
one Of the teachers and Supt. Smith
tried his best to learn the name of the
composer.
1T is not to be called poetry" de-
clared Inspector Fisher, "and to think
that a pupil at the high school could
write such doggerel."
Lawrence L. Broughton admitted
that he was the business manager
and handled the advertising. About
1925 copies had been sold. TT was not
intended to be as warm as it was" said
BroughtCn, "and myself and those con-
nected with it's publication regret it"
The business manager declined to say
who wrote the poetry or any of the
other articles.
"AII Equally Guilty.
James Gerraghty said he was the
artist and drew the cartoons. He eX-
planned that he did not write any OF
the articles, and refused to say who
did. 81 don't see much In the car
toons," said Gerraghty; there were
no names mentioned, and if they fit
ted anyone it was known only to the
person for whom they were intended"
Arthur Pringle said: 1--WE were all
sorry for it afterward, but we were
sore about the election, and did it
when we were sore"
J. w. Dickey admitted that the pub
lication had gone too far and caused a
lot of trouble. 1t was started for fun
and to make a little money. He was
not prepared to say who wrote the
articles. Robert Downing, William
Mcclure, N. G. Shepard and Sam
Schwartz were called before the board
in a group, but none of them would
say who wrote the articles or the
poetry.
Each admitted that they were all
equally guilty, and one of them ex-
pressed their sentiments by saying:
'We would rather all get soaked than
to see one man soaked"
There was much discussion among
the members of the board as to the
punishment to be meted out to the
youths, and a resolution was finally
passed suspending the ten who had
signed the agreement to publish the
paper and allow the superintendent to
reinstate them at his pleasure.

WEINHOLZER PUT
ON TRIAL AGAIN
Witnesses Repeat Evidence
Given on Former Hear
ing Of Case.

Anton WeinholZer, proprietor of the
Empire theater, was placed on trial in
the district court yesterday, for the
second time this year, on a charge of
keeping a disorderly house The first
trial resulted in a disagreement of the
jury.
Nearly the entire day was devoted to
securing jury Thirty-two jurors
were examined before twelve men
could be found who were acceptable to
both sides. The jury was secured at
O'Clock, and after the opening address
by County Attorney Kane, the taking
of testimony was commenced. Detec-
tive William O'Neill was the first wit
ness called in behalf of the state. His
testimony was practically the same as
given by him at the former trial. When
being examined by Attorney Stan
j. Donnelly, Detective O'Neill appealed
to the court for protection. Mr.. Don
nelly was endeavOring to have the wit
ness fix the time referred to by him
in giving certain testimony. The de-
tective was unable to give the exact
time, and said so.
We'll, then, can you fix the date
with reference to the time you were ar
rested for being drunk" asked At
torney Donnelly.
Am 1 on trial here?" asked Detec-
tive O'Neill
Before the questioning along this line
went any further Judge Bum came
to the relief of the witness and sus-
tained an objection made by County
Attorney Kane against questions Of
such a nature
George L. Swift a foreman employed
by Brown & Bigelow, whose place Of
business is directly across the street
from the Empire theater, testified re-
garding the people who frequented the
resort. He had often seen men and
women who appeared to be under the
influence Of liquor leave the place.
George M. Fisher, a special watch
man. was on the witness stand when
court adjourned for the day He had
often been in the theater, and had seen
all kinds Of people there. There were
usually a large number of women about
the place, whose regulations were
questionable

CAPT. CLARK TELLS
OF SHERIDAN'S RIDE
Reads Stirring Paper on Campaign in
the Shenandoah Valley.

The Military Order of the Loyal Le-
gion held it's regular meeting last night
at the Ryan hotel. Fifteen guests were
entertained at the ensuing banquet.
The paper of the evening was read
by Capt. OrtOn S. Clark, Minneapolis,
on Sheridan in the Shenandoah VAL
ley" The reader said in part:
Those days Of the summer and au-
tumn of 1854 were among the most
memorable in the entire Civil war. In
deed, L might not be far from truth
were L to say that they were the most
memorable, for it was there that the
full tide Of favor came to the federal
arms. With the granting of operating
power by Grant upon Philip H. Sheri-
dan came the turning point in the con-
f1ict.
'Those days in that valley were ter
rlble beyond the power of description
For the major portion of the time we
suffered such defeat and discontinue
that the place was not unrightly termed
by the men THE Valley of HumiIia-
ton" They were bitter days, filled with
the precepts of bitter lesson incul-
Gated by the wrathful right of might.
AT Winchester alone, I am told, our
men were driven across and back and
forth from side to side of that river as
many as seventy times in very short
space of time; and the men facetiously
came to speak of the regiment as 'Har-
per's Weekly from the frequency of
occurrences of this nature at Harper's
Ferry.
Capt. Clark was followed by Capt.
Farnsworth, of Minneapolis, who said
that he had lost one leg in that fight
and would gladly give the other if he
could go back and finish the fight after
hearing Capt Clarks description of it.
Rev. DR.. w. H.W Boyle, pastor House
of Hope church, followed with a few
remarks, expressing his sorrow at re-
calling the fact amid such surround
1ngs, that each year the ranks of the
veterans were growing thinner and
the hairs whittier.
The session received as companions
George Edgar White and Rome G..
Brown, both of Minneapolis.

DOES NOT APPOINT
FIRST ASSISTANT
Michael Mentions No Name in List
Sent to Mayor.

Corporation Attorney Michael, pre-
paratory to entering upon his new du-
ties this morning, mailed to Mayor
Smith yesterday a communication Civ
ing in detail the names and salaries
OF those who will constitute his staff.
but significant thing was the absence
of any reference to a first assistant.
Thomas McDermott, according to
Mr.. Michael, will for the present fill
the office of first assistant, and it is
generally taken for granted that he
will remain. Some of the leaders, it is
understood, want him removed to make
place for a Democrat.
Michaers failure to make any refer
enCe to the job in his communication
to Mayor Smith is looked upon as an
easy way of ridding himself of a lot
of young attorneys who have been
wanting the place. By permitting Nc
Dermott to remain he can accede to
the demands of a number of the Dem
ocrats in the council and at the same
time remove from his path those who
have been worrying him.

WOULD AMEND
BUILDING CODE
- -
Van Slyke Thinks Tenement
Houses Should Be More
Commodiously Built.

eff Health Commissioner Ohage
wants to effect a real reform he should
go after some of those ill-hghted tene-
ment house and fiat buildings that
abound in ST.. Paul" commented AS
semblyman Van Slyke yesterday aft
ernoon.
III there is anything more con-
ducive to poor health and bad eye
sight, he added, then you will have
to show me. In some of the buildings
that they call houses in st. Paul,
have seen apartments where a light
must be kept burning continually. The
ventilation in consequence is bad, and
as to eyesight, we'll, half of the oculists
In town thrive off just such places.
L have often thought of Introducing
in the council some measure that will
prohibit such. places being used for
the housing of human beings, but have
always been afraid that 1t would not
stick. If any official will take this
matter up he will certainly get my
support"
According to Assemblyman Van
Sykes observations, there is hardly
fiat building or a tenement house In
st. Paul that is a success as far as
giving good, wholesome light to those
it houses is concerned, and there are
hundreds, he says, that are absolutely
dark. This even applies to some of
the structures recently erected.
In the East agitation has brought
about many reforms in the building Of
apartment and tenement houses, and
Mr.. Van Slyke. thinks some of them
should be introduced in st. Paul.
One reason that Minneapolis has
more apartment houses than st. Paul,
the city building inspector says, is
because Minneapolis permits a more
f1imsy and cheaper construction Mr.
Van Slyke would even make the build
ing code of st. Paul more stringent in
this respect.
