remembered having seen young girls
go through the alley that led to the
rear of the Smith store, and that most
of these visits were made on Sunday.
Suspicious Circumstances.
1t Is also recalled that Newman was
a frequent visitor at the Smith store
and was often seen going in on Sun
days. 1t was the circulation of some
of these points that led the people to
believe in the guilt of Newman as soon
as he was arrested.
George Newman has been one of the
most respected of the citizens of the
stock yards suburbs. He has lived
there for about twelve years, and has
a grown son and daughter.
Although a heavy drinker at one
time Newman has for the past three
years, so far as known, been total
abstainer, and during that period he
has been highly prosperous. only few
months ago having completed the erec-
ton of residence that cost him not
less than $4,000. After having to some
extent lost his standing through drink
he had completely regained the conf
dence OF the people, and was often
pointed out as an example of the kind
of men who could achieve success in
South ST. Paul. He is almost fifty years
of age.
Smith, the man who. killed himself,
had been a citizen of South ST. Paul
for about seven years, and had, during
the entire time, conducted the store al
ready referred to. He was single, was
not a drinking man, and up to the time
that his name was connected with the
scandals was regarded as model citi-
zen and progressive business man.
AS to the possibility of future ar

those already mentioned, the RESPONSE
BILE officials decline to give out any Of
the facts, although admitting that at
least one more warrant will be issued
before the case is closed, and assert
that the third victims arrest, if 1t is
made, will cause fully as great a SEN
sation as did that of Newman.
1t is thought that Newman will be
formally arraigned today.

To the Republican state convention
to be held at Minneapolis, March II,
and which will elect four delegates-at-
large to the national convention at Chi
cago, great many members of the
party will look for some definite decia-
ration as to where the party of Min
nesota stands on the two great ques-
tons that are agitating the Repub
licans throughout the country.
The questions are those Of a tariff
revision and of reciprocal relations
with Canada.
Party leaders are inclined to dodge
the issue. 1t is argued by representa-
tives of these men that, since the ma
tional convention is to be held within
a comparatively short time after the
state convention, it would be unwise
to plunge the party of the state into a
turmoil over the question. They say
that it will be sufficient for the state
convention to pass a resolution in
dorsing President Roosevelt's admins
tration of national affairs and to pay
a few roseate compliments to the his
tory of the party in the past. They
want to push away the issue just as
far as possible, passing it along to the
national convention, where the ultra
protectionists are likely to be in the
saddle.
They realize all too well that there
is sentiment among Republicans. of
the state in favor of revision Of the
tariff along sensible lines, that Re-

DEFEAT
OF BEDE'S LAND BILL
Auditor Iverson Says He Be.
Iieves the State Will Win
Out in the Contest.

81 think we have the Bede bill. pro-
viding for a reversion to the Lamar
ruling in the matter of Minnesota
swamp lands, beaten for this session."
said State Auditor Iverson yesterday.
The state has undertaken to defeat the
Bede bill, and on Thursday the presi-
dent heard J. Adam Bede and w. B.
Douglas, attorney general Of Minneso-
ia, present different sides of the case.
Said the auditor:
1t Is very annoying to have this at
tempt made at this time. We have had
no trouble under Secretarys Hitchcock's
ruling, but the Bede bill is intended to
displace this plan and to revert to the
1885 and under which method the state
was always at a decided disadvantage.
Gen. Douglas made strong showing be-
fore the president in Washington this
week and I believe that after he has had
a conference with Secretary Hitchcock
and Land Commissioner Richards this
will be the end of the trouble for this
session at least.
Secretary Lamar Changed Rule.
In 1851 the legislature agreed with the
United States land department that it
would take the surveyors field notes as
absolute on question as to whether lands
were swamp land or not. This plan was
pursued until Secretary Lamar took the
office in 1885. when he made a ruling that
evidence might be introduced to show
that so-called swamp lands were not
swamp but arabic This system continued
for seventeen years, until Secretary Hitch
cocks incumbency, when he ruled that
the field notes should be final evidence.
Northern Minnesota people in some num-
bers have petitioned the president to set
aside this plan and permit contests to be
brought and evidence to be introduced to
show the lands were not swamp, and the
Bede bill is intended to put this plan
into service again. 1t will help out a few
land attorneys, it is true, but there seems
to be little merit to 1t other than In this
direction. The state cannot keep an army
of men in the field defending its claims
that certain lands are properly swamp
lands and the property of the state, and
where a suit is brought it cannot very
well fight No doubt the state has lost
thousands of acres of land through the
operation of the Lamar ruling. We take
the position that the field notes should OBJ
solutely determine the question. If they
will only leave us alone the state will
proceed to drain these swamp lands and
make them fit for cultivation. There are
many thousand acres through the north
ern part of the state which can be con-
verified into good farms and meadows, and
the growing population needs just this sort
of an opportunity to turn to the soil
Congressman Bede claims to have taken
up the matter at washington at the re-
quest of the settlers, but l think that we
will get the decision.

STREET CAR SYSTEMS
!
Labor Bureau Makes interest
ing Analysis of States Urban
Transit Facilities.

Street railways Of Minnesota and
their operation constitute the subject
OF an interesting exhibit recently pre-
pared by the state labor bureau. The
material for this document has been
chiefly obtained from the statistical
records Of the United States census
bureau and includes various kinds Of
data in relation. to the street railways
OF this state From the report of the
labor department it is learned that
there are five electric street railway
systems operated in Minnesota. Two
are at Duluth, one in st. Paul, Mime
apolis and Saltwater, one in St Cloud
and Sank Rapids and one in Winona.
The interstate Traction company, up
to Aug. 81, 1902, owned and operated
3.14 miles of single track within the
boundaries of the city of Duluth; the
Duluth Superior Traction company
owned and operated 70.70 miles Of sin
gle track; Of these 1880 miles were
in Duluth and 21.90 miles in Superior,
Wis. The Twin City Rapid Transit
company, which owns and operates all
street railway lines in and between
the cities of Minneapolis, ST. Paul and
saltwater, 1up to Dec. 81, 1901, had
251.02 miles Of single track in opera
ton. The Benton Power and Traction
company owns and operates the street
railway Of and between st. Cloud and
Sank Rapids and the system consisted
on Dec. 81, 1902, of $3.50 miles of sin
gle track. The city of Winona has
4.65 miles Of single track in it's cleo
trio street railway, which is owned and
operated by the Winona Railway and
Light company. All five companies
therefore own and operate 338.17 miles
of single track, but only 316.27 miles
are within this state.
In the. equipment Of the street rail-
roads were 1888 cars, and this num-
Der consisted, Of TT closed and 300
open passenger cars, 80 work cars, 81
snowplows and 4 sweepers.
Business of Various Companies.
In ther year ending June 80, 1902,
there were &9O,69S,793 passengers car
ried on all lines. There were 1885,
612 cash fares collected and 17,462,1S1
passengers had transfers. The fol-

There is probability of special
meeting of the Trades and Labor as
Sembly to take action on the II don't

ent members Of the assembly who are
candidates for reelection. On the call
of MesSrs. Carlson, of the Carpenters
union; Callan, of the Typographical
union; Meyers, of the Plumbers union,
and Brown of the Bricklayers' union,
who are members of the committee of
ten, a special meeting of this commit
tee was held at Federation hall last
night. Chairman Smith ruled that the
meeting was Illegally called, inasmuch
as he had not signed the call, and the
committee did not transact any bust
ness Smith ruled that the committee
could not call off the movement.
James, of the committee, resigned from
any connection with it. He is business
agent for the Boot and Shoe Workers
union. President Templeman, of the
Trades and Labor assembly, was sum-
moned by telephone and asked by sew
eral members Of the committee to call
a special meeting of the Trades and
Labor assembly to call off the Il don't
vote for" crusade, but he ruled that
special meeting could only be called
by the action of the executive COM
mittee of the central body. The next
regular meeting Of the Trades and
Labor assembly will not be held until
just before the primary election, March
15, and it will then be too late to make
effective any action looking towards an
abandonment Of the attack on the as
semblymen. To meet the emergency
the Team Drivers union, which was in
session last evening, Immediately called
on the executive committee and Presi-
dent Templeman to call a special meet
ing of the assembly. The Team Driv-
ers' also condemned the action of the
committee of ten. 1t is probable that
a special meeting Of the assembly will
be called to consider the question of
abandoning the fight.

Representative w. A Hinton, of

position in the former ambition.
1t seems reasonably certain that
both Frank B. Kellogg and e. G. Rog-
ers will be elected by the Fourth dis
trict convention to represent the dis
trict at the Republican national con-
vention. The country outside of Ram
sey county will be given the alternates,
one from Washington and the other
from Chisago county. 1t is pretty
generally conceded that the alternates
will have about as strenuous work at
Chicago as the delegates to the con-
Vention.

licans are having their usual quota Of
trouble in dividing the honors. Tim
Byrnes, c. A. Smith, w. w. Heffelfin-
ger and Stewart Gamble are candidates
for district delegates to the national
convention, and their chances are
thought to be about in the order in
which their names appear. Loren
Fletcher is out with an open letter to
J. S. McLain, of the Journal, taking
him to task for an editorial calling for
a Republican candidate for congress
and daring McLain to enter the lists
against him. Judge Elliott, who has

a candidate because of a fear that Ray
Jones candidacy for lieutenant gov
ernor will make his nomination impos-
sible.

crime and the cuffs of the same embroid-
cred satin headed by lace completing the

the entire gown.
The new hats are as eccentric at the
present time as they were in 1880 days
when huge poke bonnets or cabriolets
were worn, with their extraordinary
decorations of flowers, feathers and
streamers. Surely no lady OF the time
of Louis Philippe ever appeared with a
hat more absurd than one seen at gar
den party not long ago. 1t was in mauve
straw and fitted snugly to the head at
the back and pitched forward in such a
bewildering way that one was in con-
stant fear of the wearer. One side was
rolled very high and trimmed with a
huge garland of some kind of mauve
flowers. The hat was so strangely bal
anced on the young woman's head that
it looked doubtful whether it would
reach home in safety
The small high crowns are conspicu-
Gus among the new hats, which also bear
fiat crowns. Some very pretty creations
were noticed in contrast to the eccentric
models. They were made of white crepe
! de chine, simply trimmed, with twis
of velvet around the crown, or banded
with velvet ribbon fastened in from
