AT the next meeting, Tuesday evening,

discussion of the question of separate mu-

the commissioners last evening on this
question, taking the position that separate
elections were unnecessary and undesir-
able as ordinarily not enough yoers would
turn out to make the election thoroly rep
resentat1ve. 1t might be advisable, how
ever, to vote on the charter at the spe-
cial election. He favored the plan Of vest

WOULD It Be DEBT?
A Problem Of Importance Affecting
the New Trading Stamp
Law.
Minneapolis Grooers' Attorney Diff
fers With Legal Adviser Of
st. Paul Association.

William T. Coe, attorney for the retail
grocers of Minneapolis, does not believe that
the courts will hold that failure to redeem
eyes Of the courts, as does r. A. Walsh Of St.
Paul: Mr.. Walsh is attorney of the Retail
GroceTs' association of st. Paul. He puts the
stamps shall indicate on their face their value
In money, and shall be redeemable either in
goods or money, at the option of the holder.
Failure to redeem this is punishable by fine
ond otfense is six months Imprisonment. If
the courts rule that the failure to redeem con-
stitutes debt then the Imprisonment under
the law would be Imprisonment for debt and
could not be imposed"
Mr.. Coe believes that the courts will have to
pass upon the vital question whether the state
panies to police regulation.
The Douglas bill does not resemble the
original bill offered by me except in the gen
eral sense of applying restrictive measures
to the trading stamp industry said Mr.. Coe
to-day My bill, which was an exact copy
Of the District of Columbia act, declared by
the supreme court Of the district to be con-
stitutional. was much more radical than the
Douglas bill. in that it abolished trading
stamps entirely. The Douglas bill, which, we
were given to understand, was based on g
suggestion made by. the supreme court OF
Pennsylvania, Is in effect compromise
measure.
It's a well known principle Of law that
state mas the to or
| prejudicial to the public health safety OF
| morals. If this Douglas law Is held constitu-
must be on the ground of public morals
That's the vital question upon which, in my
opinion, the courts must first pass.
The courts may then pass upon the i'm
opinion there Is little likelihood that thu
courts will hold that failure to redeem in casf
constitutes debt. think the first test will
be on the question of the power of the stat.
to regulate the issuing of trading stamps"

~. Is Likely. -.

Fred w. Ames will know his fate to-
morrow. It is believed certain that the
supreme court will decide his appeal in the
morning and determine whether his con
v1ct1on must stand and Colonel Ames be-
gin to serve his six and a half years at
Saltwater, or whether he shall be granted
a new trial on errors of the district court
Opinion among attorneys is divided
Many think that the case will be con.
sidered parallel with the Fitchette case
and that a new trial will be granted
Others, who say they have more or less
definite information, prophesy that the
decision will be affirmed and that the
court will hold the evidence Of other bri-
berries was introduced to show a genera
scheme Of corruption, and not merely tc
prejudice the jury against the defendant.
The supreme court has held the case
longer than usual, and has spent a great
deal of time upon it. This has led to the
rumor that there will be a dissenting
opinion.

The suggestion, which originated with
the Minnesota Historical society aud has
since been elaborated by one Of its mem
bers, General j. H. Baker, that several
mural paintings illustrating important
events In the early history of Minnesota,
be placed in the new state capitol, has
met with hearty approval. The treaty
made at Traverse des Sioux In 1851 with
the Sioux Indians is regarded by the ma
jority as entitled to first place in the
states art gallery. And that scene, which
can be reproduced from sketch made
on the spot by Frank B. Meyer, will prob
ably be the first one painted. The sketch
is crude 1t illustrates that part of the
treaty which took place in the bower, but
it does not and evidently was not intended
to show faithful ikenesses Of the principal
parties to the treaty. The photograph Of
the sketch which is herewith reproduced
gives a very fair idea of the original.

Goods From Wrecked Ship Being
Offered For Nothing

A clever swindle, operated here about
four years ago, which netted the opera

again, according to complaints received
at police headquarters from the Kenwood
district. Superintendent Conroy has de-
tailed an officer to investigate and an eff

from a wrecked ship at astonishingly
low prices. Good samples were shown and

for $1,000 damages and for restraining
order to prevent the sheriff from levying

selling that already levied upon. Plain
tiff admits that a judgment for $172S.57
was entered against him in 1896, but
claims that he afterward went into bank
ruptcy, thereby multiplying the judgment.
and that the levy made by Sheriff Dreger
a short time ago was illegal and entirely
