stated that a continuance would be

would see to getting his witnesses at
once.
We'll, I don't know how [ can get

WHY HUSBANDSFLEE
Reasons for Wife Desertion Given
at Conference Of Charities and
Corrections.
Hennepin County Is Pronounced by
One a Good School for
Crime.

X u i rs ! Il,
Most interest was displayed this
morning by the 100 delegates who
attended the conference of charities
and corrections in paper upon Wife
Desertion," by Judge John w. Fine
hout, Of the st. Paul municipal court.
Attic he held intemperance to be the
chief cause of assertions, the extrava-
gance Of some wives and their con
tinual nagging" were causes not to be
ignored. The present law obliged the
state to support not only the deserted
family but the deserving husband as
well. He recommended q, law COM
pelling the husband to labor in a
workhouse for wages to support his
family.
Rev. e. p. Savage, superintendent
of the Children's Home society, said
that the old law making wife deser-
ton felony was needed now partic-
ularly to further the extraditing of of
tenders from other states.
DR.. e. T. Devine, general secretary
Of the Charity Organization Society Of

GERM JUICE ON EAST SIDE
A Broken North Side Pump Makes
Direct Pumping Necessary for
Part of City.

Hast Side residents are now using
water pumped directly from the Mis-
sissippi by the East Side pumping sta
ton. Sunday morning something
broke at the North Side station, and
the East Side station was started to
help out. It has been idle almost con-
tinuously for six years, but was started
without difficulty.
The only. objection to running the
East Side station is the quality of
water obtained. It is said by some ex-
perts to be even worse than the water
that the West Side station used to de-
liver. At any rate it is no better and
is believed to be unsafe for drinking
purposes.
Fortunately the accident at the
Camden Place station is not serious,
as the broken pump is due to be run
ming by next Friday.
1t will be a joyful time for the
waterworks officials when the new
Northeast pumping station is COM
pleted so that the two lower stations
can be shut down forever. The new
Holly pumps are rapidly nearly COM
pletion and will probably be running
by Feb. 1 next.
None of the water Fl ON the East
Side station is going into the reservoir
so all the city except the East Side is
getting the same quality Of water as
usual.

ISLAM" for Hennepin Jail.
Gail Management" was the subject
of paper by Frank L. Randall of the
ST. Cloud state reformatory. He con-
sidered the enforced idleness Of Jail
prisoners awaiting trial an important
evil. Matters would probably be i'm
proved by the proposed law that pris-
oners confessing a felony be disposed
of without waiting for the grand jury.
Mr.. Randall described the sanitary re-
quirements fof a good Jail. Judge O.
B. Gould of Winona, a member or the

f. Jackson of the Minneapolis Asso-
ciated Charities said that the Henne

HOLE In ORDINANCE
Judge Holt Punotures Ordinance in
Decision Handed Down
To-day.
Case Of Duffy Against Daley Is Dis.
missed - The Courts
Ruling.

Judge Andrew Holt, in a decision
this morning In the case against Will
liam Daley charged with violating the
market ordinance, practically held the
ordinance void. He holds that the
city council has no right, under the
general welfare and good government
clause of the city charter, to enact the
ordinance.
The action was brought upon COM
plant Of James f.. Duffy, proprietor
of the hay market at Tenth avenue N
and Washington, who alleged that
vicinity not authorized by the coun-
Gil. w. II. Donahue, attorney for the
defendant, objected to the introduce
ton OF evidence, claiming that the Or
dinance was not valid. The case was
argued a few days ago, and Judge
Holt this morning dismissed the case.
After citing several supreme court
decisions and discussing the founda-
ton of the ordinance in question,
Judge Holt said:
For the purposes Of this case I assume
that the ordinance is valid as far as
establishing the hay market is concerned
and proper ordinance in so far as au-
| thorlzed by subdivision18 Is, section 5, chap
Of the charter. The ordinance bears
evidence Of being enacted more for bring
ing dimes and nickels into the Golfers Of
the private beneficiary Of this law than
for the public comfort and protection.
But it is not necessary to determine how
far that affects its validity, nor how far
the privilege granted Mr.. Duffy clashes
with the one granted Mr.. Walker. Having
come to the conclusion that the whole
ordinance must derive its force from seid
subdivision 18, the case Of city Of ST.
Paul VS.. Treager controls. The council
power there passed on was precisely the
same as said subdivision Of our charter,
and 1t was there held that the provision
Of the ordinance prohibiting sales outside
the designated market place was void as
not within the power given to the coun-
Gil to legisate on by virtue of the clause
in haec verba Of character provision sub
division Is of section g.

VINEGAR IMPROVED
Less Aduteratlon Found in Samples Test

Less Adulteratlon Found in Samples Test
ed This Year.
The state dairy and food department
has finished analyses of 1000 samples of
vinegars since Jan. l. and Of this number
200 were found illegal. The illegal sam
pies included TIA cider vinegars, % white
wine vinegars and 10 malt vinegars, and
the per cent of illegals was 20.9. A COM
parison of 1000 samples analysed in 1901
being the first analyses made by the pres
ent regime in the department, gave the
following results: Cider .vinegars illegal,
$50; white wine vinegars illegal, 40; total,
$40; per cent Of illegals, 81.
The samples this year were largely gath
cred from points outside the large cities of
minneapolis, ST. Paul and Duluth. Those
of two years ago were largely from the
stores of these cities. A marked improve
ment is shown in the fact that so-called
cider vinegars made from white wine Vine
CARS co1ored with caramel have largely
been driven from the state. The fact that
the new vinegar law makes much more
stringent requirements than the previous
law has classed many samples as illegal
that would have been legal before the pas
sage of the present law.
Many illegal samples the present year
were found SO by their failing to have the
required per cent Of acidity, but were in
no form adulterated. Altogether, the
showing is satisfactory to the department.

DRUG DEFENSE FAILS
Haug Must Pay $50 Fine or do Six

Haug Must Pay $50 Fine or do sixty
Days.
G. j. Haug, who was arraigned in
municipal court yesterday on a charge
of checking on a bank without funds
this morning gave his explanation to
the court.
He said that he had been hard
pressed Of late by financial misfor-
tune and had also been i'll for some
length of time. His physician had
ordered him to take both liquor and
morphine for his troubles and 1T was
chiefly due to the effect Of these drugs
that he was in his present predica-
ment. He had redeemed all the checks
he said, which were all for small
amounts, and that the banks were
willing to withdraw the charge if
possible.
Judge Dickinson said he remem-
bered that Haug was fined in court
for shady real estate deal some time
ago and under the circumstances
would have to consider his action in
a more serious light. He passed a
sentence of $50 or sixty days.

PLACES FOR OLDER MEN
Railroads in the Northwest Hav,
Not Adopted Physical Re-ex-
animation Test.

Some Of the large railway system
employees are much put out at the
adoption by the Wabash system Of a
physical examination rule, requiring
examination of operating employees
every five years. They are disgrun-
tied because they believe it is just
another link in the plan to employ
only young men.
Railroad men in Minneapolis who
were interviewed do not deny that in
all probability this is just what is
intended by the rule. 1t is not the
desire to getarid of old men, but pro-
lection Of the travelling public requires
the employment as brakemen, engi-
neers and firemen of only able-bodied
men, and these are best represented
among young men. Nearly all rail
roads have established the minimum
of 35 years in the employment Of new
men for any branch Of the service.
The st. Louis, Iowa Central and the
500, local lines, all give men a phys
zeal examination before they are &C
cepted for employment, otherwise
there would be no telling what sort
Of timber they were getting. Because
these systems are not SO large they
do not have a rigid rule for re-exam-
ination. The superintendent or train
masteTpknows pretty we'll the condi-
ton Of the employees at all times, and
if it be deemed necessary, a man can
be put In the doctors hands at any
time.
It is customary to transfer men who
are not greatly disabled to other parts
Of the service. Because a man grows
old, it does not absolutely disable him
for position as conductor, or even as
station agent or operator; but this
is said by railroad men to be an in
dividual matter, as some men grow
old at 40 and others are young until
they are so. Trainmen are good until
found defective. Then the danger
point is reached and they must be
transferred to less responsible posi-
lions or let out.
