placed under arrest, but at the time
when the police We're endeavoring to
keep the matter quiet, denied abso-
lutely that he had been served with
any warrant, and said there was no
trouble of consequence in which he
was involved.
yesterday, however, after he had
been arralgned in court, he said the
whole matter was a great surprise to
him, and that it could easily have been
settled had Mr.. Metzler called to see
him instead of causing his arrest He
was not inclined to talk about the
charges, but said he might make a
statement later.
Mr.. Ernst first came to ST. Paul
about sixteen years ago, being employ
ed for time by Jacob Manner, who
transacted a general abstract business.
Following this he left the city, and,
after an absence of some years, re-
turned and engaged in loan business,
dealing in bonds and municipal securi-
ties.

WOULD IMPROVE THE
STATE HIGH SCHOOLS
It Is Proposed to Include Common
Branches in Regular Curriculum.

c. A. Morey, president of the state
normal school board, and thereby
member of the state high school board,
would have all state high schools fur
nish such courses as would fit their pu-
pills for the graduate courses in the
normal schools, as well as for the uni
versity. Further he would require that
the high schools, instead of providing
special instruction in the common
branches in consideration of a special
appropriation on the part of the state,
include that instruction in their regu-
lar curriculum.
If a resolution by Mr.. Morey, now
pending before the high school board,
is adopted, those conditions will be re-
quired to entitle a high school to par
ticipate in the state aid.
This resolution contemplates amend
ment Of article H., section 225, Olsen's
Compilation of 1901, which defines the
requirements to be eXacted of schools
that would participate in the regular
state aid to high schools. 1t proposes
the amendment of the third division of
these requirements to read as follows,
the only change being in the addition
Of that portion of the paragraph which
follows the words. University of Min
neSOta:'
1T shall have regular and orderly
courses of study, embracing all the
VI dAChSS plSISQulSll0 IOf ADMISSION TO
the collegiate department of the Uni
versity of Minnesota and to the grad
uate courses of the state normal
schools. and including special instruc-
ton in reading, writing, spelling,
geography, arithmetic, English gram
mar, United States history and civil
govern nent."
At present those state high schools
which afford what is termed special
normal instruction are given special
aid in consideration of that fact. This
year there were seven schools in that
class and they received $3.50 each. The
principal studies that most of the other
schools will be obliged to add, in COM
pliance with the terms Of the resolu-
ton, are United States history and civil
government.
AS to the second demand made by
Mr.. Morey, he explained after the
meeting that it was to meet the very
general criticism that graduates of high
schools are usually deficient in the
common school branches. That this
criticism is just, he said, is shown by
the fact that universities now require
that all candidates for admission pass
an examination in those studies.

ENGINEER SUFFERS A
SERIOUS INJURY
Robert Mayors Skull Fractured by
Lafayette Avenue Bridge.

Robert Mayer, a locomotive engineer
of the Minneapolis & st. Louis road,
met with what may prove to be a fatal
injury while bringing passenger train
into st. Paul yesterday morning.
Mayer had his hand on the throttle
and was leaning from the window of
the cab, when his head came into con-
tact with one of the steel supports of
the Lafayette bridge. The frontal bone
Of the skull was fractured, exposing a
portion of the brain, but Mayer was
not killed.
Fireman William T. Legion, who was
in the cab with Mayer at the time Of
the accident, did not know that the
latter had been injured till he discov-
cred the body lying on the floor. Ley
ton, thinking Mayer dead. ran the train
into the union depot, where an ex-
animation showed that the injured man
was alive. He was removed to ST. Jo-
seph's hospital.
Mayors head struck against the first
upright on the west side of the La
fayette avenue bridge. He was an ex.
ira passenger engineer, having hereto
fore been running on freight trains.
He resides with his family in Minne-
apoliS.

PARISH DENIES IT
Says He Never Talked to Schur.
meier About His Vote.

The story is false, false in every
particular" declared Edward M. Par
lsh, municipal court baIiff yesterday
afternoon.
Mr.. Parish is the name of the party
whom the gossips of late have been US
ing rather freely in connection with
Assemblyman Schurmeiers charges of
bribery
Mr.. Schurmeier's statement was to
the effect that he had been approach
ed while at the carnival Headquarters
at Sixth and Cedar street several
months ago and his council influence
solicited in aid of the street car COM
pany.
This was Immediately after the pass
age by the board of aldermen of the
measure authorizing the downtown
ball park, and Mr. Schumacher believed
an attempt had been made to secure
his vote for the repeal of the owl car
ordinance. This ordinance was re-
pugnant to the street car company.
In making public the attempt to
bride him, Mr.. Schurmeier refused to
give the name of the individual who
had approached him, but his statement
that the party was young Republican
politician soon fastened the attention
OF the goSsips on Mr.. Parish, and his
name was used. freely in connection
with the affair.
Mr.. Parish has been UP North hunt
ing the past week, and when he ar
rived home yesterday he Immediately
took steps to clear his skirts.
Mr.. Schumacher has never charged
me directly with being the party who
attempted to bride him, as far as I
KNOW" said Mr.. Parish, but if he does
he says what is not true.
Il was at the carnival headquarters
several times. 1 believe 1 called once
to see w. r. Johnson, who was at the
head of the kangaroo court committee.
of which L was a member, but I did
not have any business with Mr.. Schur-
meier. am surprised that my name
came to be mixed up in this matter.
The charge, as far as 1 am concerned,
is certainly uncalled for. 1 am posi-
tive Mr.. Schurmeier never meant me-"
Mr.. Schumacher last night would
neither confirm nor deny the story that
Mr.. Parish was the party referred to-
He stuck to his story, however, that
the person was a young Republican
politician and that his name would be
given the grand jury when demand

element among the passengers on the

if the men desired to make an attempt
to break jail.a - - -. e...,. !.
The charge upon which the men
were arrested lis that of horse stealing,
but it is said that numerous other
charges, including bank robbery and
postoffice burglaries, will be preferred
against them when they are taken back
to Wisconsin.
Burns and Latimer are said to be
members of a desperate gang of bur-,
glars, some of the members of which
are already under arrest. Burns has
been going by the name Of Jimmie
Lonegan, while the alias assumed by
Latimer was that of Jack Packard.
Both are said to be from Chicago, and
their records and Photographs are on
file in the different rPinkerton agencies
throughout the country.
The men are said to have been i'm
plicated in the attempt to buPglariZe
the bank at Eagle, Wis, few months
ago, following which horses were sto-
len by the robbers in their effort to
escape. Following the attempt to rob
the bank at Eagle,Latimer and Charles
Dennis were arrested and placed in

with this offense
Sheriff Scho1f has been working on
the case ever since Latimer and Dem
mis- broke Jail, and recently he received
tip that the men were in st. Paul.
The sheriff's Office and the police de-
partment, as well as the Pinkerton
detective agency in this city, were
communicated, with, and, upon assur-
anee from the Pinkerton men that
Latimer and Burns were here, Sheriff
Schol1 came to st. Paul for the pur-

DEFENSE is HEARD
Western Union Testifles in
States Suit to Collect Taxes.

The taking of testimony for the de-
PENDANTS in the tax collection case of
the state against the Western Union
Telegraph company was begun yester-
day at the office of Attorney General
Douglas at the capitol.
The testimony is being presented be-
fore State Senator e. E. Smith, of Min
neapolis, as referee, and the states side
of the case has been completed, that
portion of the proceedings having TAX
en- place at Minneapolis. The state is
represented by Attorney General Doug
Has, and E. N. Ferguson, of Minneapolis,
has charge of the interests of the tele-
graph company.
The suit arises out of the refusal of
the telegraph company to pay taxes on
ats personal property in this state at a
valuation of $1,000,400, as fixed by the
state board of equalization in 1899.
Prior to that time the company had
been assessed for a number of years at
$S65,50O, and although protesting that
the appraisal of its property was too
nigh, paid its taxes on that basis.
In 1899 the state board of euualiZa-
ton raised the assessment to an even
million, and the company took a posi-
tive stand against that action, refusing
TO pay taxes on a valuation of more
than 100000 The next year the board
OF equalization reiterated the valuation
OF $IOO0,O00 upon the personal prop
erty of the Western Union, and each
succeeding year the course has been
the same
BY stipulation the state accented
payment of taxes for 1899 and 1900 on a
basis of 100000, with the understand
Ing that the transaction should not
prejudice either side in it's rights. Then
suit was brought by the state against
the company for the remainder of the
amount due for those two years on the
valuation of $1,000, 600. The amount
paid by the company for the years
1899 and 1900 was $4,000.
Each year since 1899 the company
mas paid taxes ON a basis of $500, 600,
ana therefore the suit, although merely
designating balance of taxes for 1899
and 1900, really carries with it a similar
balance for each of the other wears
since that time.
The testimony on the part of the
state has consisted almost entirely of
proofs that the assessment was regu-
Larry made according to law.
Ifle only witness of yesterday was 7.
NlcMichael, who has been district su
perntendent for the Western Union
company for a number of years. His
testimony was as to the value of the
company's property, which he set forth
with very close attention to detail His
testimony is calculated to show that
the property of the company in this
state would be literally appraised AT a
valuation of 100000.
