FULL OF BAD GERMS
Some Mimi. Creameries Using Water
From Wells Polluted by Their
Own Gesspools.

covers the Danger and Will
49,. Remove It.. 5i,,.. nj: :, = :,

Startling discoveries of unsanitary con-
ditions surrounding creameries have been
made by inspectors of the state dairy and
food commission. In several eases cream
cries are located where it is impossible
to drain away the waste products, which
are accordingly deposited in cess pools.
It has been found that in many instances
these pools are sunk in sandy soil or
loose strata Of rock and drain directly into
the wells from which the creameries
draw their water supply. The utensils
are washed in this foul water and the
butter worked and washed in it. !. SAM.
pies of the water have been sent to the
state chemist for analysis. Where the
water is found TO be polluted, these
creameries will be required to cement
their cess pools or go out of business. Great
care will be taken by the inspectors, who
will send in samples whenever there is
any reason to suspect the wells are con-
Eliminated.
st wish it generally understood" said
Dairy Commissioner Mcconnell this
morning, that this department. will be
glad to assist in the selection Of sites
for new creameries. We want to make
sure that no creameries are built hereaf-
ter that do not have good drainage facil-
tiles. It is not only in the interests OF
health but economy SO to locate new
creameries."

Louis A. Runge, under indictment for
willfully, falsely and corruptly perform
ing the duties of judge of election, was
forced to stand trial this morning, not
withstanding the fact that John B. Dukes,
one of defendants witnesses, is sick in
bed. 1.-THE state is ready to try this case
and has been ready 70 rthe past three
weeks said County Attorney Boardman
after Patrick WEIGH, attorney for Mr..
Runge, had stated to the court that
Dukes could not possibly be in court to-
day and perhaps not for several days.
1.-THE proper proceeding said Judge
Harrison, "is for you to file showing,
Mr.. WEIGH, and, if the county attorney
you can prepare your affidavits and make
your showing as soon as possible
I'VE do insist was Mr.. oBardman's
emphatic reply and a jury was called

s FLOUR IS HUNG UP |. A. RUNGE0N TRIAL 81
E. M. Schugens and James H. Mitch
ell Play Damon and Pythias
in Police Court.
Mitchell Takes Sentence Imposed
Upon Schugens on Charge Of
Running Gambling Place. j:

James H Mitchell, the real proprietor of
the gambling house on Nicollet avenue
which was the cause of E. M. Schugens'
receiving a straight workhouse sentence
last week, in police court this morning,
played Pythias to Mr.. Schugens' Damon.
He told Judge Holt that he was the pro-
prietor of the place and that Schugens
had pleaded guilty to save him from re-
ceiving the sentence. Judge Holt
promptly sentenced him to the Workhouse
for sixty days and granted Schugens per-
mission to pay a fine of SIS in lieu of
going to the Workhouse. The fine was
paid.
When the gambling house of which
Mitchell acknowledges that he is the pro-
prietor, was raided last week. Schugens
was representing the proprietor. He told
the police that he was the keeper of the
place and a complaint was lodged against
him. He expected to be fined, but Judge
Holt gave him a straight worhhouse SEN
tence. His friends interviewed Mitchell,
and as a result the real proprietor ap-
peared voluntarily in court this morning
and set matters right, even though it
meant a straight workhouse sentence of
sixty days for him.
From the sentences imposed by the
! judges in municipal court the precedent
| of sixty days in the workhouse without the
option Of paying a fine seems to be estab-
| lished. Several weeks ago, in the Jones'
Waite administration of police affairs.
| Dickinson gave one or two straight work
house sentences, and now that Judge Holt
is doing likewise, the outlook for gamblers
in the city is not very promising. Several
| have determined to leave the city, and
others will likely follow in few days.

CAN'IGET THElRPAY
Judge Fish's Refusal to Sign War
rants Keeps Library Employees
Waiting for Salaries.
He Holds Himself Bound by Resolu.
lions Limiting the Payroll to .
$4,000.

The library board pay roll, approved on
Friday at the board meeting, remains I'M
paid, owing to the refusal of the secre-
tary, Judge Daniel Fish, to sign the war
rants. Meanwhile the members of the
staff who have received no pay since be-
fore Christmas are in distressed state
of mind not conducive to the best public
service, especially as it comes on the heels
Of a month of anxiety Ina regard to- the
action of the board proposing to either
cut off some official heads Tor pare down
salaries.
Judge Fish has been much sought for
man to-day, as various emissaries Of the
library board have been searching for him
with diligence, but found his office closed
and no intimation Of his whereabouts. He
spent the day in St. Paul. and when called
to the telephone by T h J GU n a !. ad-
mitted the fact that he was holding up
the warrants, but declined to make any
statement of his reasons or to be inter-
viewed at long distance
| Other members OF the board, however,
were ready to explain the situation, al
! though they would draw no conclusion nor
attempt to give any reasons for Judge
Fish's action.
| The attitude of the secretary is a COM
plete surprise to most if not all members
of the board, but his fellow members
| base it upon these facts. At the January
meeting the board, after considerign the

| amount of money to be expended on sal
| aries, exclusive of -janitorial work, at the
central library to $4,000. A committee
was appointed to decide where and how
the cut should be made. The final report
| Of the committee has not yet been acted
upon and no one was notified of any
change in his or her status up to the
present 1t would appear frons4ais tosthe
ordinary mind that all Of the employees
are in a position to insist upon the pay
ment of their full salaries upon the
regular schedule, which has not yet been
! altered. -
/ Evidently this was the view Of the
board, for at the regular February meet
ing, it approved the January payroll ir
good faith. It did not, however, reconsid-
| err the other vote, apparently taking the
ground that the restriction voted was MOI
operative until the committee should re.
I port a new schedule or that the approva
Of the payroll was practical resembling
of the other resolution.
However, Judge Fish is reported to take
the ground that the action in approving
the payroll was illegal until the restrictive
resolution had been moved and for thi.
reason he refuses to sign the warrants

SERVED BOTH SIDES.
An Attorneys Activity Defeats Purpose
for Which, He worked

A recent decision of the supreme court
sustained verdict for s2.250 in the case
for injuries sustained from a fall down an
elevator shaft and revealed an interesting
state of facts concerning the litigation.
No sooner had the boy been injured tina n
the local attorney for the surety company
insuring the proprietor of the place
against injuries to employees, visited him
and made offers of settlement for $500.
The youth agreed but Judge Brooks, for
what is believed to be the first time in
this county, refused to allow the settle
nlent because one attorney had acted as
counsel for both parties to the case. The
youth was advised to consult another at
torney and as a result is now richer in
the sum of $3.50.
