Illinois Girl Declared a Spendthrift.
A rather novel case from Normal at
tracted much attention in the county
court, Miss Hattie Watt, an extremely
pretty girl of 10, being the defendant
She was recently left a fortune of $1O,-
600 and her relatives filed complaint
that she had become a spendthrift and
was dissipating her bank account so
rapidly that unless immediate steps
were taken to prevent it she would be
penniless. A goodly portion of her
wealth had been spent in travelling
over the country and in buying fnery.
The case was heard by jury and a
verdict was found against the girl. Ac-
cordingly the court appointed a con-
servator, who will have sole charge of
her fortune until she becomes of legal
age.-St. Louis Globe-Democrat

cred by a German physician is believed
to be not rare in the contents Of the
stomach. It consists of two kinds Of
cells, as seen under the microscope, but
is believed to represent various forms
of algae that are introduced with drink
ing water and food, and develop In tho
presence Of acid. The growth mas been
noticed chiefly in cases of considerable
acidtty In the stomach It Is remarkable
that these new algae are favored by an
excess of hydrochloric acid, while the
ordinary algae of stagnant water are
killed If little hydrochloric acid is
added. Just how important a part this
vegetation plays is yet to be learned.
1t has been demonstrated that fresh
~ dug peat may contain as much as
80 percent of water, and that air
dried turf may still have Is to
30 percent Of water, while giving as
much as one-half to two-thirds Of the
heating power of an equal weight Of SUI
perior COAL A report on a "carbonized
peat fuel" estimates roughly that ten
tons of raw material, freshly dug, yield
the caloriflc value of at least one ton
Of fairly good coal These figures give
a basis for interesting speculaHons, and
one conclusion is that the peat of Ire
land could give an annual output Of
one hundred thousand-horse power in
electric energy for 1850 years.
The death of complex organism, we
are told, is a less simple process than
is generally believed. Not all the cells
lose their vital powers at once, and the
various organs Of the lower animals
have been made to perform their func-
lions in the physiological laboratories
after the creature itself has ceased to
live, it being quite possible in this way
to make kidneys secrete, hearts beat
and muscles contract for hours. BY in
Jections Of warmed saturated saline
solution of oxygen, DR.. Kuhabko has
made the heart of a rabbit to beat for
hours and days Hitherto the, separ-
ated part of the human body that has,
shown vitality has been the skim. of

transplanted after being kept many
days, but in the rather gruesome ex-
periments Of this Russian psychologist
rhythmical contractions for an hour
have been excited in the hearts taken
from many children from between 20
to 30 hours after death.

GRAND JURY
MAKES REPORT
Gives ZIP Business After
Session of Twelve
Days.


After being in session less than a
dozen days the January grand jury
mace It's final report to Judge Kelly
yesterday afternoon, returning indict-
ments In three Jail cases and no bills
in two other cases
Inc wine srOom question, so
thoroughly Investigated by the pre-
and no secret indictments were re-
turned in any case.
When the present grand jury was
sworn in Judge Kelly, in giving the
Jurors their Instructions, requested
them to make a thorough investigation
into the wine room evil. as well as into
the report that a gambling house was
being conducted just across the line in
Dakota county. The report of the jury
did not refer to these matters at all.
After hearing the report Of the jury,
and being advised by the foreman that
there was nothing else the jurors de-
sired to investigate, Judge Kelly eX-
cused the members from further serv-
ice until March 2. Another grand jury
will not be sworn in until the May
term of court and it was deemed ad-
sivable by the court to have this jury
report again in March.
indictments returned yesterday were
against Peter Conley, Timothy Foley
and Emil Johnson. Foley is charged
with stealing. an overcoat and $40 from
Matthias Clerf on the night of Deem
Der Is last. Foley is indicted for
grand larceny in the second degree,
being charged with the theft of three
turkies from Swan L. Johnson,
butcher. Johnson is also indicted on a
charge of grand larceny in the second
degree. He is said to have relieved
S. Matson of 81 in a Rice street saloon
a few evenings ago.
The grand jury failed to find a bill
against Edward Bryant and Belle
Yeager, who had been arrested on a
charge Of illicit Capitalization, preferred
against them by Lawrence Yeager, a
st. Peter farmer, who came to st. Paul
in search Of his wife and son.
The evidence against H. D. Summer
field, charged with grand larceny in
the second degree, was insufficient to
secure an Indictment, and no bill was
returned in his case.

Taking it's cue from other cities that
are now industriousiy trying to fol-
low IN the footsteps Of the member
from Missouri" the assembly last night
ordered an investigation of the coal
combine as far as it relates to ST. Paul.
The initiative was taken by Assembly
man Whitcomb. and it was at his in
stance that the resolution above was
passed.
Ordinarily such resolution is pro-
ductiVe of considerable discussion, but
not remark was made. It was re-
celVed in dignif1ed silence and given
the full vote Of the members present.
1t is expected that the board of alder
men will lend it's approval.
What a council investigating COM
mittee can do in the line Of making
public the things and persons respon-
sible for the excessive prices now de-
manded for both coal and wood is
limited, but DR.. Whitcomb says it can
at least find an opening by which the
grand jury may interest itself The
council is limited in the matter of
compelling testimony.
President Haas, to whom is intruSt-
ed the selection of the committee, says
he will name it as soon as the board
Of aldermen has given its approval to
the resolution.
There is something rotten in the st.
Paul coal and wood situation" said DR..
WhitcOmb at the close of the session,
land 1 propose if possible to find it.
There is no good reason for the high
prices existing. What opened my eyes
was the 500 tons of hard coal disposed
Of the other day by a dealer for $12
a ton who ordinarily is lucky If he has
twenty tons in stock"

Proposed Bill Is Discussed.

The State Good Roads association,
with an attendance of about forty, la
bored long and earnestly yesterday and
last evening in the council chamber at
the city hall on the crusade they have
undertaken to promote. 1t was the
ninth annual session and the two meet
ings were filled with business.
Papers quite lengthy and matters de-
cidedly technical occupied the two SEES
SlonS, and it was at a late hour last
night when adjournment was reached.
Perhaps the only matter Of interest to
the few outsiders attracted was the
visit of Gov. Van SAINT, who, in a char
acteristic speech, welcomed the dele
gates and pledged them his aid in Sc
curing the reforms desired. Mayor
Smith also rendered them a welcome
and the freedom of the city, and said if
there was anything he did stand for it
was good roads"
George w. Cooley, of Minneapolis,
one of the pioneers in the good roads
movement, presided, and in his OPEN
ing address at the morning session
too occasion to congratulate the dele
gates on the success of the movement
so far. In his remarks he spoke Of the
use of convict labor and advocated it
to the extent of having them prepare
the material used in road construction.
plOyed direct on the roads
Mr.. Cooley was followed by Ole Pc
tersOn, of the NicOllet County Good
Roads association, and A. B. Choate,
both of whom devoted their remarks
to legislative aid and the necessity Of
cooperation by the farmers. Mr.
ChOate paid some caustic tributes to
the legislature for it's persistency in
adhering to the county committee sys-
tenn as against a state commission.
At the afternoon session a paper on
paving was read by Assistant City En-
gineer Wilson, and also one by w. G.
Frazer on Road Building Under the
State Aid System" Letters pledging
their aid in the good roads movement
and indorsing state aid were read from
III. j. Rudd, state commissioner of pub
lie roads of New Jersey; w. E. Nc
Clintock, chairman Of the MassaChu-
sets highway commission, and Martin
Dodge, of Washington.
The major portion of the afternoon
and evening sessions was given over to
the reading and consideration by Sec
tons of the state aid act, a bill to be
introduced at the present session of the
legislature. Many new ideas were ad-
Vanced and some corrections demand
ed. Papers were also read by H. A.

ASSEMBLY PASSES
OWL CAR BILL
Schurmeier's Measure Is
Passed by One House
of Council.

owl cars" are certainty as far as
the assembly is concerned With three
members only, Assemblymen Van
Slyke, Haas and Whitcomb, dissenting,
that body gave its approval to the meas
ure last night and now all that re-
mains is the sanction Of the board Of
aldermen.
The ordinance, which originated
with Assemblyman Schurmeier. pro-
Vides that a car be run over every line
In the city every hour between mid
night and o'clock in the morning
The cOmpany's franchise, which per-
mits council interference when the
convenience of the public is involved,
is the assembly's authority for it's act
While three voted against it last
night, Assemblyman Haas was alone
in explaining his stand. He said that
the running of the cars all night would
bother the sick and the patients in the
hospitals, many of which were ada
cent to car lines.
The board Of aldermen IS not favor
able to the all night cars and it is eX-
pected that the street car company
VIII make strenuous efforts to beat the
bill in that body. Four members, it Is
known, will vote against the owl car
measure.
The assembly last night also passed
an ordinance calling for five and ten
minute service on the Lafayette and
Grand avenue street car line. Assem-
blyman Van Slyke made an effort to
have the measure sent to the commit
tee on streets, but failed. Supt. Bur-
dick, who was present, said that the
patrons were already enjoying a ten
minute service and he saw no reason
for the passage of the ordinance

MAY EJECT OWNERS
FROM THE BOARDS
RIGHT OF WAY
Property Squatted
and on Which Many Build
ings Have Been Erected
Will Be Claimed by Later
Board-Title Is to Be In
yestigated by Legal De-
partment.

Fully seventy-f1ve property owners
now enjoying peaceful possession of a
strip of land about two hundred feet
wide, extending from Lake Phalen to
East Seventh street, are in Immediate
danger of excitement. Investigations
completed by the city engineering de-
partment yesterday developed the fact
that the holdings Of these property
owners are on ground the title to which
is invested in the st. Paul water board.
In 1859 the st. Paul Water company
by condemnation and purchase secured
strip of land several miles in length
for its water main connecting city con-
sumers with the supply at Lake Phalen.
This right Of way was included in the
company's assets when 1t passed into
possession Of the city.
Though the main was practically
abandoned years ago the right of way
was still maintained and when en-
croachments were reported about two
years ago an Investigation was ordered.
This investigation completed yesterday
developed the fact that the greater part
of the strip has been taken possession
of by private parties and in many places
is covered with buildings OF a sub
stantial character Among the big
structures are the East end barns and
power house of the street car company,
the factory and sheds Of the Bohn
Manufacturing company and the yards
and plant of the Gribben Lumber COM
pany. Adjacent to these three compa-
MES and their holdings are sheds and
brick buildings innumerable
In some instances the water depart
ment has granted the right to parties
to build on the strip, but in the ma
jority of the cases those now enjoying
possession simply ''squatted."
While the main has been abandoned
the water boards right to the strip is
unquestioned and the legal department
has been asked to act with a view of
either collecting rent or ejectlng the
tenants. The street car company pow
er house lays directly across the right
of way and the same is the case with
the two other firms.
