cause 1 am closer to the cause of the
trouble
THE power house is located in a ra-
vine just below the hill and has a
smokestack only ten to sixteen feet
high from the roof of the building.
That brings the top of the stack just
about to the level of my second story
windows, and the smoke, with all the
cinders and gas that go with it, is
discharged right into my house. Then,
too, they are unloading coal there
every day and when there is an east
wind the coal dust is carried to every
part of the house.
Even Undermine His House.
when the contractors were building
the power house they dug into the en-
bankment of my property, destroying
my retaining wall and fence and caus-
ing the walls and foundation Of my
house to crack in number of places.
1 even had to repair all that damage
at my own expense and have not been
able to collect any part of it yet
1T cost me between $500 and $500
last spring to have my house reno
waited, and now the work will all have
to be done over again. Unless some
change is made it will be impossible to
live in that neighborhood in the sum-
mer time.
'"The trouble, as I see it, is with the
height of the stack. For a plant like
that there should be a high brick stack,
and since the power house is on a de-
clivity the height of the stack should
be the greater to clear all the other
buildings in the neighborhood. AS 1t
is, all of the property in that vicinity
is rendered valueless. Nobody could
live in comfort under such conditions.
1 do not know yet what steps I shall
take, but I have placed the matter. in
the hands Of an attorney to ascertain
what my rights are in the matter"
The plant at the new capitol has
what is known as an induced" draft,
which is supposed to do away with all
possibility of trouble from smoke, and
to therefore permit Of a low stack. -

Mayor McGrath, of BarnesvilIe, tes-
titled to the value Of boards composed
Of business men, appointed without re-

saved Moorhead from bankruptcy. In

Evening Session.
At the evening session Prof w. w.
Folwell, of Minneapolis, speaking of
Municipal Patriotism" said that the
way to make a city loved was to make
1t lovable; that is, if city were rem
dered artistic and attractive it would
gain the devotion of all citizens.
G. M. Lor1ng, so long connected with
the Minneapolis park board, sketched
the histor of parks in American cities.
He insisted, however, that cities should
not be satisfied with parks alone. The
whole city should be made beautiful.
D. G. Armstrong. of Albert Lea, de-
scribed the Albert Lea hot water plant
which heats business houses along
fourteen blocks. The system is emf
nently success. The three-story city
hall, for example, is heated for 1912 a
year. Mr.. Armstrong; own bank
building is heated day and night, Sun
days, included, from Sept. 20 to June
1, for $68. which is about half what
would be the cost Of heating the same
building from a private plant.
The league will meet again at 8
o'clock this morning. officers will be
elected today. Among the subjects OF
papers to be read will be streets, al
leys, boulevards, parks. Fairgrounds,
sanitation, taxes and insurance.

Capitol hill is a deeply agitated COM
n1unity and it's constituents are in a
state of revolt against the capitol COM
mission.
The cause of the trouble is the
new state building, which, it is said,
belches smoke, mephitic vapors and
cinders right into the most exclusive
homes on the hill, making them unin-
habitable and life not worth the living
to their occupants.
Before the power house was put in
operation last fall there was no por-
ton Of the city where contentment
prevailed to a greater extent than on
Capitol hill. Geographically, or rather
geographically, set apart from and
above the rest of the city, this little
cluster of residences formed a retired
community by itself, and it's atmos-
phere was one of self sufficient exclu-
siveness. Here are to be found some of
the truly handsome residences of the
city, and the quiet of the neighbor-
hood and its remoteness from the more
Travelled streets was one of its greatest
charms to those who lived there.
The building of the new capitol just
below Capitol hill was looked upon as
an ultimate advantage to the hill, as it
would interpose a handsome and artis-
tic structure and finely handicapped
grounds in the view cityward; although
the long period of construction was
looked upon with some feeling of an
noyance.
But when the power house, right up
against the bluffside of the HILL was
put in service, all idea of the new cap
1tol as desirable acquisition % that
part of the city was rudely dispelled.
Will Seek Legal Redress.
L. L. May. whose home, at the corner.
of Cedar street and University avenue,
is directly above the power house, is
probably the greatest sufferer. He has
been annoyed to such an extent that
he has retained a firm of attorneys to
ascertain what redress is open to him.
Mr.. May, when asked as to his griev-
ance last evening, said to The G
ance last evening, said to T h e Globe:
This power house, as it is now be-
ing operated, makes property on that
hill of no value at all. I am not by
any means the only sufferer, but sup

MUNICIPAL LEAGUE
BEGINS ITS SESSION
Half a Hundred Delegates in
Attendance From All Parts
of the Commonwealth.

That Minnesota is fully awakened to
the need of improvement in municipal
methods was made clear yesterday
during the first annual meeting of the
Minnesota Municipal and Commercial
league.
When the half hundred delegates as
sembled at room 16, state capitol,
Leonard A. Rosing, president of the
league, had the privilege of introducing
Gov. Van SAINT, who had defeated Mr..
Rosing at the last state election.
After some pleasantries concerning this
political struggle Gov. Van SAINT said:
"I am glad you are fighting for new
and better parks. A park builder is
human benefactor.
There is great work before you in
reforming the tax system. We all
know that our present system is who'll
ly unfair.
"You are fighting, too, for reforms
in transportation. That is the great
problem of the next hundred years, for
freight rates concern vitally every con-
sumner and every householder"
In responding to the governors well
come, Maj. ]. A Eckstein, of New Ulm,
said the league was working especially
that could not fail to benefit the large
towns and the cities.
The afternoon and evening sessions
were held in the rooms Of the CONNER
cial club.
President Rosine's Address.
President Rosing delivered his an
nual address soon after the delegates
had assembled at the club. He advo-
Gated a concentration of power and of
responsibility for the betterment of
municipal administration. There should
be as few elective offices as possible.
Not only the elective officers but the
boards and commissions should be
limited. Mr.. Rosing said in part:
l.. A. Rosing, of Cannon Falls, pres
ident Of the Minnesota Municipal
league, spoke in part as follows:
From the beginning of organized So
clety there have been two divergent views
In regard to the proper functions Of gov
ernment, individualiSm and collectivism,
struggling for supremacy. AS this coun-
try has become older and its social prob
lems more complex the tendency has been
more and more toward the idea of abso-
!ute control and regulation of public util-
tiles. He said:
How rapidly this thought is to be crvs-
taI1zed into law will depend largely upon
the men who are in control of the great
pupI!c service corporations, upon whose
service the public depend and who come
INTO closest contact with the personal and
industrial life of the people.

WRIGHT'S BOOM is
GIVEN A Big BOOST
Lincoln, Roosevelt and McKin-
ley Clubs VIII Today
Ask Him te Run.

The Wright boom for mayor received
an impetus last night when a joint
meeting of the executive committees of
the Lincoln club, the Roosevelt club
and the Mckinley club decided to ask
Col. Wright to become a candidate for
mayor. The meeting was held at the
Lincoln club rooms in the Endicott
building, and the sentiment of the
members of the committee was found
to be pretty strong for Wright.
Armand Albrecht was not without
friends at the meeting, but he had
stated SO plainly and positively that he
would not be considered a candidate
that his friends found themselves in
the minority. His strength seemed to
be chiefly among members of the
Roosevelt club, and an informal ballot
showed that they realized the futility
of holding out for their favorite.
A committee consisting of w. B.
Webster, Frank Obst, ]. j. Ehrmann-
traut, William Gerber, A. w. Lyman
and Hugh Halbert was named to wait
on Col. Wright this morning and ask
him to file for the Republican nomina-
tion. This committee will call on Col.
Wright this morning and present the
request or the organizations.
resolution was adopted pledging
the support of the clubs membership
to any Republican candidate who is
successful at the primaries. A press
committee, consisting of S.. Pope
Spates, E. w. Douglas and L. F. Fair
child, was named to announce the ac-
ton Of the executive committee to the
newspapers.
I haven't given the matter of a dual
convention any particular thought as
yet. The plan of holding the delegate
and nominating conventions of the
Democrats at one time and with one
set of delegates has merit, but I should
scarcely like to go on record at this
time as indorSing it until l had looked
into 1t more thoroughly"
This was the response Of H. L. Buck,
OF Wfnona, chairman of the Democratic
state central committee, to an inquiry
by L G l as to his views on the
proposition to hold the convention to
select delegates to the st. Louis con-
vention and to nominate state ticket.
Il will send out letters the last Of
this week calling meeting Of the
Democratic executive committee for ST.
Paul some time next week, when this
proposal, and number of other mat
ters pertinent to be considered will be
taken up and discussed" said Mr.. Buck.
Inquiry among st. Paul Democrats
shows that number Of the more prom
inent men In the party favor the plan
of the dual convention.
John L. Gieslze, the Fourth street
barber, who, has been more or less
prominent in the labor movement, yes
terday sprung something of a. surprise
by filing for the Democratic nomina-
tion fer mayer. sGieske lives at 43 Wy

Stevens. Gieske filed after a long con-
ference last night with John F. Krieger
at Federation hall, but denies that he is
backed by the entire labor organization
as an organization. There is no or
