DWELLINGS WILL BE
PROTECTED FROM JARS
Rohland Ordinance Regulating Quarry
Work Is Recommended for Passage,

A Fifth ward committee yesterday
secured a favorable report from the
aIdermanic committee on streets on
the ROhland ordinance regulating the
quarrying of stone in the city limits.
Gregory Boldt and Charles Parker
urged the enactment of the ordinance,
contending that under the present
regulations property is not adequately
protected against damage, and that it
had been found practically impossible
to dispose of residence property that
is located near a quarry.
Il own an interest in a dwelling at
Goodrich and Western" explained Mr..
Parker. "a quarry was opened up on
the next lot. The blasting broke the
plaster, injured the building and ruined
the furnace. For all this it was i'm
possible to collect from the contractor.
We believe that there is plenty of stone
that can be quarried in locations re-
moved from residence property, and for
this reason we desire that this ordi-
nance be passed"
Mr.. Newman, Of Newman & Hoy,
who are operating a quarry in the
ward, thought the provisions Of the
ordinance unnecessarily restrictive,
but the vote on the motion to make a
favorable report was to 1. Aid.
BantZ, Buschmann, Dobner and Holt
voted in the affirmative and Aid. Dahl
quist in the negative.
The ordinance provides that no blast
ing shall be done within $50 feet of a
dwelling, and compels quarrymen con-
forming to this provision to give a
bond Of $4,000.

Mrs. Thomas B. Scott, now of Chi
cago, but well known in this city, has
been visiting at the home of her moth
en- Mrs. John A. Berkey, of Dayton
avenue; and whatever other interest
may attach to her movements, they
have caused some activity in the Of
flee of the sheriff. Deputy Sheriff
Miller spent nearly all day yesterday

WINTER REFUSES TO
BE COUNTED OUT
SnOWStOrm Covers Streets of
City With Three inches of
SIuSh.

Over three inches of snow fell in st.
Paul yesterday afternoon and evening.
The precipitation, which started shortly
after II o'clock yesterday on account of
drop in temperature extending over
limited area in Eastern Minnesota,
was heaviest towards evening, when it
became a binding stonwstorm. i, 4..
Though the snow fell thfckly, the
temperature remained moderate, and
nearly One-half of the snow melted as
it reached the ground. The downfall
gained greatly on the melting, however,
and last night the ground was covered
with a coat of wet slush nearly two
inches deep.
The precipitation ceased entirely at
$50 o'clock last night, and the tenn
perature commenced gradually to drop.
The mercury fell eight degrees within
ten hours, but it remained above the
freezing point till late last night.
The snowstorm which visited St.
Paul yesterday extended over the east
ern part of the state, Duluth receiving
a small portion of it late in the after
noon. st. Paul registered the highest
precipitation of any point yesterday,
with the exception of Minnedosa.
Weather Observer oliver said yes
terday that the temperature will prob
ably remain lower today than it has
been during the past few days. More
snow is promised for today, but it is
SAID that Saturday will be fair, with
rising temperature. There will be brisk
north winds.
The snOwstOrm Of yesterday capped
the climax of backward spring. The
records of the weather bureau show
that the temperatures during the early
part Of April this year have been lower
IMAM the average temperature for this
month Tor many years past.
From the records it appears that a
marked change has generally occurred
IN years past after the middle of April,
When warmer weather sets in. If the
precedent is followed this year, next
week will probably see an Improvement
IN the condition of the weather.
Ihe storm of yesterday interfered
slightly with telephone and telegraph
service. Trains were nearly all on time
IN spite of the adverse weather. The
erect OF the storm was felt most by the
street railway company yesterday
evening about 5 o'clock, when the. vol
ume OF traffic became so heavy that
not enough cars could be pressed into
service to handle the rush. On many of
the principal down. town corners
crowds of people waited for long in
terVaIs in vain to be conveyed to their
homes, While car after car, loaded to
the steps, went by without stopping.

JAIL said Mrs. Mary Hessler when she
appeared in police court yesterday to
prosecute her husband for support
''Of course he will make all kinds Of
promises now, but if you only knew what
my two small children and myself have
gone through during the winter you
would not take his word. Several times
we have not had a bite to eat for a day
at time, and were saved from actual
starvation by the neighbors"
Mrs. Hessler, who had walked from
Water street, her home, carrying a
small baby in her arms. had the ap-
pearance of a woman who had suffered
as she claimed. The child was also
emaciated and hungry. Despite her
present helpless condition and the ad-
mission that she had nothing but a lit
tie bread in the house, Mrs. Hessler
thought her husband should be punish
ed for his neglect.
Judge Hine remanded the prisoner
to the county Jail, where, under the
law, he must remain until he gives a
bond to support his wife and children.

good murmured the woman as she

Judge Finehout squarely in the eye

Sorry for you," answered the court.
"And have fits" continued the pris-

about to fall to the floor.
From the smell Of your breath"
was the answer, 'tyou have had several

PROF. LANCE EXPLAINS
CARE OF BIRD HOMES
School Teachers Learn How to Feed
and Protect Feathered Pets.

Prof: D. Lange, of the Central high
school, delivered a very interesting
stereopticon lecture on Birds and Bird
Homes" before 400 teachers in the Cen
trail high school assembly hall yester-
day afternoon. The main part of the
lecture was devoted to explaining the
various methods of attracting such
birds as the Wrens and bIuebirds
around the schools by means of bird
houses. The most important thing, he
said, was to see that these boxes are
protected from the ravages of stray
cats. He also instructed them as to
how young birds that had fallen from
their nests should be fed, recommend
ing a diet of fresh raw beef hard boiled
eggs and boiled potatoes. The lecture
was illustrated with the fine set of
stereopticOn plates which were recently
presented to the Minnesota Audubon
society by DR.. Roberts, of Minneapolis,
and some which Prof. LANCE had pre-
pared himself.

GIRL BALKS POLICE
Star Witness Against Alleged
Robber Tells Wrong Story.

If Minnie Murray, pretty and about
twenty, stands by the testimony given
in the police court yesterday it is pos
sible that the dead sure" case the po-
lice believed they had against Put
ney" Smith may fall through. AL
though Smith is held to the grand Jury
for the robbery Of John SandelTs tailor
shop on the night OF March 80, it is
believed that he will be acquitted if
Miss Murray maintains the attitude
that she now assumes.
The scene in the municipal court
yesterday was almost dramatic Miss
Murray who lives at InVer Grove, had
been called as a witness for the state
and walked demurely to the stand,
blushing and apparently abashed by
her appearance in court. Detective
Moran was seated behind the county
attorney and thought that he was
aware Of the testimony that the wit
ness would give. But the young WOm-
and had a surprise. for the officer and
the prosecutor. ~@s"e.N-
Instead of saying that she had re-
ceived bolt of fine silk, supposed to
have been stolen from SandeIFS shop
from Smith she denied that such was
the case. The prosecution sought to
show that she had told a different
otOiy u OSIeCI1NS moran, Out the rules
of evidence would not permit this. The
young woman insisted that a man
named Larkin left the silk at the Muir
ray home.
Mr.. Sandell testified that the silk
was worth about $3.50 per yard and
that he thought the piece in question
belonged to him. Other evidence con-
nected Smith of the offense only in an
indirect manner. But Judge Finehout
