CHAIN OF LAKES
Water Board Contemplates
the Creation Of Splendid
Park System.

Ii plans now under consideration by
the water board ever attain realization
81. PauFs park system will receive an
addltlon that will make it practically
one OF the largest single public reserva-
tons In the United States.
Inc scheme is nothing more than
the identifying of the chain of lakes
tnat the water department controls and
the embellfshing of the large landed
area which it has been gradually ac-
curing for the purpose of keeping the
Guys water supply free from contain
nation.
Between land and water several
thousand acres are included in the
boards holdings, and it is the intention
to begin at once the construction Of
roads and driveways, the dredging of
the lakes, the erection of fencing
against the inroads of cattle and the
planting of shrubbery and trees. The
dredging alone will cost not far short of
500, 900.
Because of the heavy cost this
scheme of embellishments will be car
RED out gradually, it being the boards
intention to spend a certain sum of
money on the work each year until the
full plans are realized.
Much of the ground is prettiIy wood
ed and this will be added to by the
planting of new trees. 1t may take a
decade to Improve the area, but when
1T is done st. Paul will have water
system and a park without an equal in
the United States.

Attorney Mccarthy objected to the

and were entitled to an Immediate
hearing, but Judge Finehout overruled
the objection and the case went over

The defendants were arrested on a
charge of having lived together as man

the wife of Lawrence Yeager, the St.
Peter farmer who says his wife desert

year-old son. After a search of ten
days, Yeager located the woman and
child in st. Paul.
Bryant was formerly a neighbor of
the Yeagers near st. Peter, and Yea

SOUNDS A WARNING
AGAINST SMALLPOX
DR.. Ohage Says Disease May Become EpI
demic If People Are Not Careful.

That the world is facing an epidemic
of smallpox, a statement made by an
Ohio health official, does not appeal to
DR.. Ohage, as he has not given the dis
ease so broad study, but he is confident
that if the Northwest is not vigilant it
will have an epidemic that will cost many
lives and many thousands of dollars to
stamp out.
Smallpox is a treacherous disease"
said DR.. Ohage yesterday land l am al
ways fearful for the outcome 1 am sor-
ry that the number of cases in the state
is increasing but it is only what 1 have
been predicting. II people are not careful
condition that will leave death in it's
wake.
mo part of the earth is free from the
disease and where it is least expected
there it may appear in all its ferocity
We have been having it mild in St
Paul, SO mild that people are getting
careless, and that is what I fear. When
the disease increases there will be a panic
and then we will have lots Of trouble and
possibly great mortality
There is little of the disease in ST.
Paul, but what few cases have been found
give the department lots of trouble in
Kidding the victims Of the after effects
The source, as a general rule, has been
traced to the rural districts where health
measures are lax
Health Commissioner Ohage has been
particularly apprehenSiVe of the disease
of late and his frequent comments have
been taken up in the form Of a statement
Just made by c. o. Probst, secretary of

far found have been unusually malignant

WATER BOARD TO
TRY MANDAMUS
May Resort to Courts to Com
pei City to Pay Hy-
drant Rent.

an opinion now being prepared by
First Assistant Corporation Attorney
McDermott warrants it, mandamus pro-
ceedings will be brought at once by the
board of water commissioners against
Mayor Smith, City Comptroller Betz, City
Treasurer Bremen and the city council
The point involved is the continued def
ance by the city of the law providing for
the payment Of hydrant rent.
PigeOnholed in the vaults of City Comp
troller Betz are audited water board
claims, carrying on their face over $3.50, =
600, but not a cent has been paid on them
since they began to accumulate, some
eleven years ago. With the regularity of
clock work a new bill has been added ev-
cry six months, but beyond their formal
reception they might be valueless for all
the recognition they have received. Nc
money when payment was asked. and
the merry ha, ha," from the council
when an insertion Of the amount in the
budget was requested by the board was
the only response.
1t is point of law that one department
of the city cannot sue another, but the
legal department has found way around
the difficulty by suggesting a writ of GER
t1orar1 or mandamus proceedings, and as
this will be the feature of the opinion
now in preparation. advantage of it will
be taken by the board.
The city council and those officials who
are responsible for the payment of these
bills will be made to show cause why
they refuse to provide the money for the
payment of hydrant rent, and if a favora-
BILE decision is reached, then the boards
course and future recognition of claims
will be made clear.
The idea is not to press the ravrnent
Of past calims, but to force provision for
all future hydrant accounts. The water
boards claim against the city for last
years water rent was nearly $40, 00O
President Warner and Commissioner
Brace, of the board of fire commission
ers, appeared yesterday before the water
board and attempted to prevail upon the
members to change their decision regard
ing the refusal to lay any more mains for
fire purposes this year Both sides as
sumed a belligerent attitude, not to the
extent of indulging in high words, but a
defiant demeanor that BODIED i'll should the
matter ever come to a talking match.
The fire board representatives held that
the fire mains decided upon for the West
side and st. Anthony Park last year were
necessary, but the water board could not
see it in that light. The water board an
swered that its revenues We're being de-
creased by the shrinkage of frontages
taxes, and for the present it would have
to confine it's efforts to supplying con-
sumers. No absolute refusal was made,
the matter being continued, but it is gen
orally conceded that the disputed mains
will not be built this year.
The water board the coming year will
have only about $50, 900 for betterments,
against $40 900 last year, and it says ev-
cry cent of this amount will be required
in improving its country property provid-
ing service mains for the large number of
petitioners now on file.

FLAMES DRIVE
TENANTS OUT
West Side Hat-DWellers Are
Made Homeless by
Fire.

An 1nt1ammable portiere and the
careless handling of a match were
the cause OF a panic-producing fire
at the Beifield flats. South Robert and
faITheId avenue, last night.
Inc IRE started in the fiat tenanted
oy Ihomas Weston, and communicated
IN a peculiar manner with the attic
A young daughter of Mr.. Weston, wish
ing TO light the gas in another room,
carried burning match through the
poftleres. She lit the gas and, turning
around, discovered the portieres in
names. The fire running up the drap-
cry, crept through the folding doors
INTO the attic. w A. Barnes, engineer
OF the building, was summoned, and
turned in the alarm.
tenants seized whatever came handy
ana rushed out, blocking the stairway
with a Variously loaded and apparel

nlpplng wind drove them for shelter
into the neighboring houses, which
opened their doors in welcome to the
unfOrtunates
Many flats on the south side Of the
block which were not affected
by the fire or water offered refuge to
those whose homes were untenable.
The fire department spent fully an
hour IN subduing the flames, during
which time the flats directly below the

The larger part of the damage was
from water 1t was estimator last
night that the total damage would ex-
coed $4,000. The severest loss was
that of Fred Ritter, tenant on the
fourth floor adjoining the Weston fiat.
His loss will probably reach $500, upon
which he has an insurance of $500.
Westerns loss was estimated at $500.
The tenants damaged by water esti-
mated their loss as well as they were
able last night about as follows
Charles J. Meilicke, $500; Vance Chap

an unknown loss from water and other
tenants suffered minor losses from

damaged to exceed $4,000.

TALK OVER TELEPHONE
CAUSES A LAWSUIT
Parties Who Had Sent Check Stop Pay
ment and Hence the Action.

An exchange of sarcastic remarks be-
tween member of the firm of Brown &
BIgelow printers, and E. P. Roberts, sec
rotary of the Minnesota Association OF
Local Insurance Agents, terminated in a
lawsuit which was commenced before
Judge Hine, in the civil division of the
municipal court yesterday.
The printers were given an order by
Secretary Roberts to print 800 certificates
of membership for the insurance agents,
and when the work was delivered pre-
scented a bill for $50, SOL being for the
printing and the extra $35 for the plate
from which the certificates were printed.
The association objected to paying for
the plate, but sent a check for the full
amount.
The the firm of Brown &, Bigelow was
celled up by telephone and informed by
Mr.. Roberts that the S35 was simply a
present to the firm. The answer came
back that Brown & Bigelow were not de-
pendent upon charitable gifts, and a con-
Versation followed which resulted in the
association stopping payment of the
check.
The $51 was rendered, and now Brown
& BigeloW are suing for the balance of
$35. The case was on trial all day yes
terday, but was only well started when
court adjourned last evening.

What VIII Other convIcts Dor

S. Richards, who is undergoing a three
year sentence for shooting his wife, was
the one to PROFOUND the query. Richards
is on the lower tier Of cells.
The question reached e. Glover Atkins,
who occupies a cell on the tier above
Richards. Atkins is a cocknay, with a
disregard Of the letter ''h' almost suff1-
cient to send him to the penitentiary. He
used to run a dime museum graft i'll
Minneapolis, and King secured the evil
dence against him which secured his SEN
tence for three years on the charge of ex-
tOrtiOn. Yet King was good to him while
he was waiting trial and used to pass
him many a cigar. He probably d0asn' t
want to see the old detective suffer more
than is necessary.
Then the question was sounded to the
cell of John Reid. Reid is under an in
deteTminate sentence for stealing the
Hooper diamond. This was the case for
Kings connection with which he was
sentenced. 1t would only be human ma
ture for Reid to be glad to see King in
the penitentiary and to be unfriendly to
him. But Reid is undergoing an indie
terminate sentence, and good behavior is
probably worth more to him than re-
venge.
w c. Wood also has to answer the
question. King was indefatigable in
running down a case Of forgery against
him. He, too. is sent to the penitentiary
on the reformatory plan.
Other men whose presence in the peni-
Tertiary are due to Kings work as a de-
tectiVe are Charles Twohy, serving an in
determinate sentence for grand larceny;

HUSTLE IN Vain
FOR HARD COAL
Extreme Cold Weather Finds
Local Dealers Without a
Pound Of Anthracite.

The Servant Girls union, during the
past year, has made a deal Of fuss
about its members having to receive
their callers and company in the kitch-
ems OF the residences where they were
employed.
In half of the homes in st. Paul these
day, and nights, too, the members Of
the household, including the domestics.
use the kitchen almost entirely.
The coal famine is responsible for
this condition of affairs, and according
to the local fuel dealers the residents
OF st. Paul are just beginning to feel
the famine.
In consequence Of the extreme cold
numbers of citizens spent the day yes
terday in chasing from one coal office
to another begging to have lust a ton
or half ton of hard coal sent to their
homes. Some of the seek ers after coal
were prominent citizens, and others
were not so prominent, but it made no
particular difference to the clerks in
the coal offices. Each would-be pur-
chaser was given the same answers
we have no hard coal and it is a guess
when we will have any"
AS high as $40 per ton was offered
by those who needed the coal, and
needed it badly, but even the offer to
pay this price failed to bring the prom
Use of any Of the 'black diamonds"
The shortage of coal, especially of the
oHCHId CIle KIM, mas compelled thou
sands Of househOlders to burn wood.
In the fuel offices they tell customers
that it is just as easy to burn soft coal
In base burner as hard coal and much
cheaper. Those who have gone against
the soft coal game as an experiment
know all about it after one trial, and
those who have nOt-well, they have
something to learn and swear about.
Landlords and agents in charge Of
houses are talking freely about how
much cheaper it is to burn soft coal,
but they are talking for their own
benefit, as tenants, in the absence of
coal, are making away with fences,
back stairs and everything in the line
Of wood and lumber in order to keen
the houses warm.
The demands for fuel from the fam
lilies who are dependent on the county
board of control and charitable organi
cations are increasing daily, and the
inspectors of the Relief society report
many cases of suffering among the
poorer classes.
The price of hard coal is quoted at
$3.50 and $40 per ton, but the dealers
have none. Illinois and Indiana soft
coal can be purchased at IS and Sc per
ton, while Hooking Valley coal. said to
be smokeless, brings $3.50 per ton.
