COUNCIL TO DEAL
WITH COAL MEN
II 1t Cannot Compel Testi-
mony, Grand Jury May
Be Called Upon.

The common council cannot compel
testimony in its proposed investigation
Of the coal situation in st. Paul, but
II it is reasonably certain that any laws
are being violated it can demand grand
jury interference.
This is First Assistant CORPORATION
Attorney McDermott's view of Assem-
blyman Whitcomb's resolution to in
vestigate coal prices in st. Paul, and
he further adds that If any short
change" methods are being indulged in
the council can checkmate them by the
passage Of suitable laws.
Some Of the members are inclined to
view the resolution with suspicion, but
President Haas says he will name the
committee as soon as the board of al
dermen approves it. Assemblyman
Whitcomb says he will then call for
immediate operations and will push the
matter as far as the councils power
goes.
One Of the laws that will probably re-
suit from the investigation will be COM
pulsory Weighing Of every bushel and
ton Of coal sold, and then will follow
the licensing Of coal firms on the basis
of business done. Both would permit
partial supervision Of the coal re-
ceived and sold in st. Paul and permit
of regulation in case it was found the
public was being tampered with.
health in several cities have cOnfiscated
coal in storage and transit, when suf-
fering made 1t necessary, has started
some to figuring If this could not be
done in st. Paul should crisis arise.
Health Commissioner Ohage says that
While his power when the public health
is concerned Is practically unlimited
he thinks he would have to show ex-
cellent cause If he took such a step.
AS to the councils authority in the
matter, DR.. Whitcomb, the author Of
the resolution to investigate. thinks it
canot be questioned. If suffering was
shown he is positive the council could
not be stopped from taking coal to as
sist those affected.
The commission. when named, win
probably organize by selecting DR..
Whitcomb as it's chairman. Funds for
the conduct Of the inquiry will be ne
cessary and some of the members pro-
pose taking a part of the mayors con-
tingent fund to meet the expense. If
necessary daily sessions will be held
and every source Of information thor
oughly investigated. Later the grand
jury will be asked to assist.

CAN'T FILL LAKE
FROM THE WELL
Artesian at White Bear
Yields Only 700 Gallons
a Minute.

The official test of the we'll at Wild
wood, made by the Twin City Rapid
Transit company yesterday afternoon,
in the presence of the county commits
siOners, the mayor and a number of
other county officials, was not as sat
isfactory as had been expected.
During the test, the best results OBJ
tanned was about 700 gallons per min
ute, although the street railway COM
pany claimed that as high as 1900 gal
Ions could be pumped when the ma
chinery was in good working order.
The dynamo used to run the pump
broke down yesterday, and fair test
could not be made, according to the
promoters
The commissioners, however, were
not thoroughly convinced that the
we'll could be made to do much bet
ter than it did yesterday, and it is
probable there will be serious Objec-
tion to the proposition that the county
pay the expense of several of these
wells, which are to be used to restore
the water in White Bear lake to it's
natural level, from which it has been
receding for several years.
For some months past an effort has
been made to have the commissioners
take the matter up and save the lake,
but after the investigation yesterday
several members of the board were not
inclined to consider the plan practical.

COUNTY NOT LIABLE
FOR ACT OF OFFICER
Attorney O'NeiII Invites Claimant to Try
the Surveyor.

Assistant County Attorney O'Neill yes
terday promulgated an opinion in which
the law is interpreted to hold that the
county is not liable for any trespass of its
officers unless such trespass is provided
for in the statutes.
The only redress for such trespass IS
against the officials themselves. and not
against the county.
The opinion was given at the request OF
the board of county commissioners, which
has for some time had under consider
alton the claim of Thomas Ryan, Of
Mounds View, who asks the county to
pay him the sum OF $500 for gravel which
had been taken from his land by con-
tractors who were working under the
direction Of the county surveyor. The
gravel was taken from what was formerly
a public highway, but for some years a
part Of Ryan's farm. In improving roads
:n that vicinity the gravel which was
formerly placed on the CID road was taken
and used in other places. Ryan put in
a claim for $500, but the board refused
to act upon it without first securing an
opinion from the county attorney.
Mr.. O'Neill is Of the opinion that, al
Though the work was performed at the
instance Of the county surveyor, the cCun-
ty cannot be held liable. and the only
redress Ryan has is against the surveyor.

gravel.

Venge Makes Mistake-ls Fined 81.

The desire of Paul Magnuson to
avenge the injuries sustained by his
pet dog in a fight, by killing the "other
dog" got him into trouble and the po-
lice court yesterday.
The boy said his dog had come home
in a terrible condition, and when he
went cut to learn what had happened
some boys told him that a "black dog"
had done the work.
Magnuson returned home, secured a
shotgun and started to look for the
black dog. The first black dog to cross
his path was a large Newfoundland,
belonging to the family of Milton
Stfkles. One shot ended the existence
Of the pride Of the Stikles household,
and then Magnuson was arrested.
He had killed the wrong dog, and
when Mr.. Stikles told Judge FfneEout
that the dog had been raised by him
and was a household pet, the Magnu-
son boy expressed his sorrow and was
allowed to go, by paying 81 fine.
