WOMAN SHIELDS AGE
FOR SAKE OF NICKELS
Insurance Orders Refuse to Pay Policy
on Grounds of Deception

A woman's~ desire to impress upon
people that she was younger than she
really was has resulted in a lawsuit
in which $1,000 and7a pretty point are
involved. The suit. which is begun in
East Grand Forks and sent to Ramsey
county for service, is against the Royal
Neighbors of America, being an action
to recover on an insurance policy TAX
en- out in the order by Nellie Glover
several years ago. The suit is brought
by the Woman's husband, ]. r. Glover.
When Mrs. Glover became a member
Of Pansy camp and applied for an in
surance policy, she inadvertently gave
her age wrong, and made herself out
somewhat younger than she really was.
1t made difference of cents on each
assessment she paid, for instead of
paying 55 cents, the amount that would
have been required from her had she
given her correct age, she was only
called upon to pay so cents on each as
sessment
Soon after Mrs Glover died in June
1903, the husband attempted to recover
the Insurance. but Pansy camp had
discovered the alleged deception, and
payment was refused.
Mr.. Glover, admitting that his wife
gave her age wrong, has brought suit
and in his complaint he expresses a
willingness to settle by permitting the
order to deduct what it has lost
through the woman's "inadvertency.'

ASSIGNEE KAVANAGH
HAS TO PAY COSTS
Is Allowed Two Days in Which to
Render an Accounting

Judge Lewis filed an order granting
farther time for Patrick T. Kavanagh
to appear in court and render an ac-
counting of the estate of John Dow
Ian & Son, of which he is the as
signee. The time is extended to June
Is, and Mr.. Kavanagh is ordered to
pay the costs already incurred in the
proceedings.
The surety company which is on
Kavanaghs bonds declared that its
client had not paid the premium on
his bond and asked to be released, but
the court declined to relieve the COM
pany until the discharge of the as
signee. The court, at the instance of
the surety company, ordered Kava-
nagh to appear in court and make an
accounting of the estate.
His attorney. William Pitt Murray,
explained yesterday that Kavanagh
was too i'll to appear in court, and the
continuance was granted.

ASSEMBLY OVERRIDES
MAYORS SEWER VETO
Seven Members Unanimously Repass
Final Order

By a vote that was unanimous the
assembly. at it's meeting last night,
passed over Mayor Smiths veto the
final order for a sewer on Woodbridge
street, from Forest to Geraniun1. The
sewer, which is short one, calls for
an expenditure Of $9,50e, and there is
much opposition to it's construction by
the property owners on Woodbridge
street.
&rhese protesting property owners de-
clared to Mayor Smith that they did
not want the sewer. and the mayor
vetoed the order, but when ii came up
in the assembly last night the seven
members present voted for its passage
and it was carried over the veto.
Another veto sent to the assembly
last night by Mayor Smith was the or
dinanee changing the name of Floral
street to South Mackubin. The mayor
could see no reason why it should be
changed to South Mackubin, and de-
cIined to attach his signature to the
ordinance. The veto, in this instance,
was permitted to stand.

FATE is AGAINST IT
Sickness and Death Pursue
Revision Commission

Fate seems to have a grievance
against the Minnesota statute revision
commission, and is satisfying its score
at every turn.
1t was announced yesterday that
Judge Daniel Fish, the Minneapolis
member of the commission, is i'll at his
home of. typhoid fever. 1t was said
that his temperature was almost nor
NAL, but that his physicians had dag
nosed his trouble as typhoid, and it
would probably be some time before
the Minneapolis member of the cons
mission would be able to attend to his
official duties. He has been absent
from his Office in the state capitol for
the past week or ten days
The office force yesterday in the
commissions office bore small resem-
blance to the commission as originally
created some three years ago. But a
single Stenographer was at work in the
office who originally was engaged upon
the creation of the board.
Hiram f. Stevens, named as chair
man of the board upon its appoint
ment, is dead; T. j. Knox, the Demo-
cratic member of the board. has been
called to Manitoba to assist in the
search for the body of his son drowned
last Friday in Shoal lake; Judge Dan
lei Fish is i'll of typhoid fever. and Ly-
man b. EverdeH, the first secretary OF
the board, has been taken home to
Breckenridge in very precarious con-
dition of health. Vacancies on the
board and in the Office have been filed
by appointment but the persistence
of fate in following the commission is
notable.

BROADWAY LOOP GETS
IT'S FINAL QUIETUS
Ex-AId. Dahlquist's Pet Measure Is
Pigeonholed by Aldermen

The old ordinance introduced by Aid.
Dahlquist and providing that the
COmo-Harriet cars should be compelled
TO run around the Broadway loop, was
probably given it's last airing in the
council yesterday afternoon, when it
was pigeonholed at meeting of the
committee on streets of the board of
aldermen
Mr.. Dahlquist has retired from the
council, and yesterday came the an
nOuncement that he had sold his sa-
loon and intended locating in the Me-
sabi range country. He was the only
champion of the ordinance, and when
it came up at yesterdays committee
meeting there was no objection to
pigeonholing it.
Almost during the entire time that
Aid. DalQuist was in the council his
pet hobby was to get this ordinance
passed. He owned a saloon located
on the Broadway loop and his efforts
were said by many to be selfish. While
he was never turned down directly in
his efforts to secure the passage of
the ordinance, the other members of
the council succeeded in holding it up
one way and another, until Mr.. Dahl
Quist retired from the council.
That's the last we'll hear of that
for some time I guess" suggested a
member of the committee when the
matter was disposed of yesterday.

HOTEL RUNNERS TO BE
UNDER CITY'S CONTROL
Assembly Passes Ordinance Requiring
Licenses and Numbered Badges

The city expects to be better able to
regulate hotel and restaurant runners
by means Of an ordinance that was
passed by the assembly last night. The
new ordinance, which has been before
the council for some time, provides. as
amended and passed, that every run
ner" for hotel, restaurant or railroad
ticket broker must first take out a Ii
Cense, the fee for which is $25 per year.
The ordinance provides that the
runner shall wear a badge with
number on it in large letters and that
he must wear a cap bearing the name
Of the place for which he is soliciting
patronage. There are also provisions
relating to loud talk, the manner in
which the runners must conduct
themselves and other safeguards which
will tend to make these persons less
obnoxious to the public

curing Indemnity Bond Recommended

At a meeting of the committee on
streets of the board of aldermen yester.
day Aid. .Rohland secured favorable rec
on1mendation for his ordinance, providing

URGE CIVIC PURITY
Women's Christian T temperance
Workers Hold Convention

The third annual convention of the
twenty-third district of the Minnesota
Woman's Christian Temperance union
closed last night with a song service
and platform meeting at the House of
Hope Presbyterian church.
Rev. III. V. GivIer, pastor of the First
Methodist church. and Dr. w. J. Gray,
of the Pacific congregational church,
delivered short addresses on the Needs
of Our City,
DR.. Gray said that what was most
needed was an army of men who could
be trusted to fight for reform. He said
that the purity committee recently had
considerable difficulty selecting a COM
mittee of fifty men who could be abso-
luteiy relied upon to carry on its work
Mr.. Gray also said that St. Paul
needed current of healthy public
opinion that would sweep the city be-
tween Tenth street and the river of all
its impurities and corruption City
officials who will not dodge RESPONSE
billties was another need of the city,
according to DR.. Gray
Rev. Mr.. GiYIer made an appeal for
the simpler life, saying that less luxury
and ease would greatly benefit the
SANITY City. You cannot produce
men of sturdy character when you sur
round them with daintieS and luxurieS,"
said Mr.. Givler. 1.-THE. greatest curse the
American people has had forced upon
it is their hatred of work and love of
ease. Better men and men of charac-
ter is what we need"
At the conclusion of the meeting Mrs.
Russell r. Dorr made an appeal for the
segregation of the boys and girls at
the Red Wing reformatory. She advo-
Gated a school for the delinquent girls
in some town other than Red Wing and
as far removed from the boys training
school as it is possible to have it.
AT the afternoon session reports were
made by the various committees. The
session opened yesterday morning with
devotional exercises, led by Miss Eva
Jones. Mrs. M. Palmer, of Des Moines,
who is the Woman's Christian Temper
ance unions evangelist, held work
ers' conference, after which officers
were elected. The following are the
officers chosen: President, Mrs. M. A.
Crawford; vice president, Mrs. Morri-
son; secretary, Mrs. Emil Paterson;

COUNTY REPORTS ARE
! COMING IN SLOWLY
Only IA Out of SO Have Submitted
Statements OF June Settlement

Reports of the June settlement of
Minnesota counties are coming in to
the state auditors office with unusual
slowness, and the suspicion is abroad
that possibly the county auditors are
employing themselves in attending to
political fences instead of the more
Iaborious and humdrum clerical work
of their offices. But fourteen of the
eighty-thFee counties of the state have
so far made return to the state au-
ditor, while in normal years more than
half the counties have reported by
June Is. Following are the counties
reporting, with the amount of money
which the state will receive from each
county in the settlement:
Blue Earth, $1S,600.45; Brown, $16,-
17S.76; Chippewa, $7,2S3-S3; Isanti,
$2,709.34; Kittson, $3849.14; Nicollet,

SLEUTHS AFTER HIM
Spice Company's Salesman Ac-
cused of EmbezZlIRg 5000

Detectives of a bonding company and
also of the Woelson Spice company.
Toledo, Ohio, are industriously search
ing for w. H. Wolfson, a dapper little
man, who, until early in May, repre-
sented the spice company in Mime
sofa. and made his headquarters at a
st. Paul hotel.
Wolfson, after securing check for
his April salary, disappeared and the
only trace of his whereabouts is the
fact that the other day q check for $40
which he gave a Chicago hotel, was
returned mo funds The hotel sleuths
are working in conjunction with those
of the bonding company and of the
manufacturing company in efforts to
locate the young man.
The activity of the detectives of the
latter companies is due to the fact
that Wolfson is said to be ''shortt in
his accounts with the spice company
some $500. While acting as agent for
the Toledo concern, he was charged
with collections of accounts as Well as
sales, and it is reported that he made
collections aggFegating about $500
which he failed to remit to his firm.
The firm was Unidentified for $500 by
bonding company, but the difference in
WoIfson's populations and the amount
of his bond will have to be borne by
his late employers.
The similarity of names of the agent
and of his principals is said have been
worked by Wolfson to good advantage,
for he represented himself to be rel
alive of a member of the firm and thus
secured financial accommodations at
number of points in the state. j. w.
Koehrman, manager of statesmen for
the company, is at the Ryan hotel He
says his trip to St. Paul has nothing
to do with Wolfson's shortage, and that
he has been meeting the company's
fourteen Northwestern representatives
in ST. Paul during the past few days.
While in ST. Paul Welfson was
known as pretty fast young man, and
the frequency of wine suppers given
by him to associates was a matter of
speculation among people who knew
him and his employment. His home is
at Louisville, KY.

AUTHORITIES MAY
HAVE FOUND HAAS
Complaints Against PaaaGed
Grocer Who SwindIed Many
People Are Looked Up

There is every indication that the
local authorities have located Albert
Haas, who, while a convict on parole
operated grocery store on Payne ave-
nue. and swindled about 800 citizens of
st. Paul out of nearly 100000.
Haas disappeared from ST. Paul ear
after his parole had expired he having
been released from Saltwater on a SEN
tence imposed for embezZIement. Com
ing to St. Paul, Haas secured possess
sion of small grocery at S54 Payne
avenue, and within few months was
doing rushing business.
In March, 1902, the crash came, and
it was found upon investigation that
Haas had yictimized a large number
of people and that from some of them
he had secured several thousands of
dollars upon the claim that his invest
ments were realizing such great re-
turns that he could afford to guarantee
higher return than could be expected
from ordinary business. Shortly after
his disappearance large number of
warrants were issued for his arrest,
but during the two months that the
case was kept before the public by the
newspapers nothing was heard from
him, although it was rumored that it
could be shown that he had gone to
South Africa.
Complaints Are Cooked Up
During the past several days all of
the complaints that were made against
Haas, which are on file in the munici-
pal court, have been carefully gone
over and arranged, raising the suppo-
s1tion that Haas has been located and
that preparations are being made to
bring him back to st. Paul to an
sWer to the innumerable charges that
We're made against him. County At
torney Kane and the officers in charge
OF the complaints in the municipal
court claim that they have no knoWI-
edge of any new movement in the Haas
case, and assert that they cannot un-
derstand why inquiries are being made
as to Haas whereabouts.
1t is admitted by the authorities that
Haas was traced through Mexico and
central America, and that he did not
take the Canadian route over which it
was attempted to find a trace of him
at the time of his disappearance
Mrs. Haas, shortly after the Sensa-
tional disappearance of her husband
went to Canada, and it is known that
she has been closely watched since
that time. 1t is supposed that the clue
to the Whereabouts of the swindIer has
been secured from his communications
with his wife and family, there being
three children, that Haas would likely

MUSICAL SALOONS TO
PAY EXTRA LICENSE
Aldermanic Committee Favors ordi-
nance Requiring $50 Fee

The committee on streets of the
board Of aldermen yesterday afternoon
reported fayorably on the ordinance
providing for a license fee of $50 for all
saloons having pianos or other instru-
ments of music in them. Such places
are to be designated as concert halls
and are to be required to pay $50 per
year, in addition to their regular sa-
loon license.
The regulation of these places is to
be placed in the hands of the chief Of
police, since the ordinance provides
that no license for any such concert
hall shall &c granted without the APP
plieation bears the approval of the
chief.
The ordinance is said to be for the
purpose of getting rid of a large num-
Der of such places, which are not being
conducted in a manner satisfactory to
the police department at the present
time.

quired to furnish Upon Investigation
we find there are twenty-four corner
lamps that have no signs and fifty
three corner lamps that have only one
half signs. 1t is impossible to have all
the lampposts with signs, as we found
a number of the signs lying on the
ground broken and the eontractor cam
not be expected to carry stock of du-
plicate signs. In other respects the
lamps are in good condition.
