BIGGS MATRICULATES
AT THE PENITENTIARY
industrious Offender Is Taken From
the Workhouse to Saltwater.

Peter Biggs was graduated from the
Minneapolis workhouse yesterday and
matriculated at the Saltwater peni-
tentiary on the same day. Biggs had
previously taken quite an extended
course at the st. Cloud reformatory.
Evidence is lacking that he had had
work in the states prep" school at
Red Wing.
Biggs was transferred from the
workhouse to the penitentiary by Capt
J. z. Barncard, agent for the state
board of control. He was originally
committed to the state reformatory,
Feb. 27, 1899, from Hennepin county,
for grand larceny in the second de-
gree. Good behavior brought him
parole Sept. 13, 1900. but he was re-
turned because of violation Of the
terms of his parole. Again paroIed
Sept. 16, 1908, he was sent to the Min
neapolis workhouse in February for
three months, and on the completion of
his sentence yesterday he was lodged
at the Saltwater penitentiary by the
state prison agent. Unless there is a
change in his behavior he will be re-
tanned at the prison for the balance
of the maximum term for his offense.

BIG SIGNS MUST GO
Halls of Office Buildings Are to
Be Stripped.

Managers of big office buildings in
st. Paul have started a crusade against
the unsightly signs that their tenants
often display on the walls adjacent to
their Office rooms.
The first building to put ban on the
presence of the sign is the Endicott,
between Robert and Jackson streets,
and June L will witness the removal of
all the signs from it's corridors.
Luther S. Gushing, manager of the
Endicott building, yesterday admitted
that he was the pioneer in the move
ment in st. Paul, but said that he was
determined to clean out the signs.
THE practice obtained a footing in
st. Paul some years ago." he said,
when tenants could dictate almost
anything to the landlords. The walls
of the Endicott halls have been pret-
ty thoroughly covered by signs of real
estate men and others having some
thing to offer the public, but our ten
ants are accepting the new order to re-
move the unsightly signs and they say
that if all are compelled to obey the
order they have no objections to it's
enforcement. We will put directories
on each floor of the building and per-
NIT the tenants to continue to use the
ordinary sign on their office doors. The
big obtrusive sign that been an offense
against good taste, however, must go
on June ]"

WOMAN SERIOUSLY
HURT IN A RUNAWAY
Miss Martha Patton, Mrs. j. S.
Steele and Her Daughter
Thrown From Buggy.

Two women and a twelve-y year-old
girl were thrown from a buggy yester-
day AFTERNOON at 2:3O o'clock at the
corner of Smith avenue and George
street Miss Martha Patton. 339 East
Winffred street, is in a critical condi-
ton at st. Luke.s hospital with brok-
en- collar bone, two fractured ribs, a
cash on her head above her left ear,
and probably internal injuries.
Mrs. J. S. Steele 1851 East Winifred
street, and her daughter Marcia, es-
capped serious injury, but were bruised
and scratched.
The accident was caused by the
horse becoming frightened by a work
car of the street railway company
backing on track next to which the
animal was walking. The space be-
tween the curbing and the track was SO
narrow at the point the car passed the
horse that when he reared the buggy
was overturned and it's occupants were
thrown to the ground. The horse dash
ed down the street after being relieved
of his load and ran into a telegraph
pole in the next block.
The injured woman was picked up
by Patrolman Hurley and carried to
the home of a neighbor, at $50 Smith
avenue. The officer sent for the police
ambulance, but that conveyance being
in paint shop a patrol wagon was
sent to the house. Miss Patton refused
to be removed in the wagon, however,
and remained at the house where she
was attended by Drs. A. NJ. and H. C.
Johnson, after which she was removed
to st. Luke's hospital.
Mrs. Steele and her daughter We're
able to proceed to their home after re-
covering from the shock.

GHOST OF THE GANG
HAUNTS RICE STREET
Citizens Protest That the Dis.
tEict Is No Longer slough"
or DisorderIy.

That the evil which men do lives
after them was strenuously asserted
last night by members of the North
Side improvement association, who de-
clared that the reputation of the long
extinct, though still famous Rice
street gang" deprecfates the value of
real estate in their section of the city.
1t was maintained that the impress
sion remains in the city that Rice
street and it's adjoining territory is
still tough" as it was in the days Of
the "gang," the members of which are
all now dead or behind the bars, and
restraints many people from settling in
the north end of the Eighth and Ninth
wards.
A lively discussion was precipitated
at the meeting, which was held at st.
Bernard's hall, Albermarle and Rose
streets, by M. J. Sehorn, former dep
uty sheriff, who urged" the association
to use its influence to dispeI the mis-
taken idea that the Inhabitants of the
former haunts of the notorious "gang"
are in danger of losing either life, limbs
or property by violence.
Safe to Live on Rice Street.
why, it's as safe to live on Rice
4
in any other part of the city," declared
Schorn. But somehow the impress
sion still remains that the north end of
the Eighth ward is q tough district
and many people who would otherwise
settle here are deferred from doing so
by the mythical Rice street gang
which ceased to exist fifteen or twenty
years ago, when the last member was
sent over the road.
1.-THE result of t1ic 7iefo Ixo,, S1aa &c,
that the development of our part of
the city is slow. People somehow have
the impression that if they build out
in this part of town their property will
constantly be subject to attack, and
that they will be in danger of suffer-
ing personal abuse. There never are
any robberies or assaults in our dis
trict and there are few disturbances,
and those which occur are generally
caused by men and boys who come
from other sections. Women are never
molested on the street, and men have
no fear of being held up. This proba-
bly, was not true twenty years ago, but
it is at the present time.
Might Change the Name of Street.
Another member suggested that the
name of Rice street be changed, in or
der to do away with the unpleasant
! recollections of the gang so frequently
| called to mind, while another urged the
association to appoint a committee to
ask the managers Of the variety the
| aters to have all sighting allusions to
Rice street eliminated.
Committees were instructed to re-
quest the police department for an
| other patrolman, as it was said that
| the one man who now. covers the nort
half of the Eighth ward has too much
| territory. Better fire protection was
| also demanded, and an effort will be
made to have the board of fire commits
| sioners place an engine in the station
| at Front and Matilda, which is now
provided with only hose cart.
A committee reported that the gas
| company had consented to lay gaspipes
| on Rice street from Front to Geranium

is NOTE OUTLAWEO?
Queer Legal Tanqle Over Suit to
Recover 81, 600.

An unusual legal ENHANCEMENT is
brought to light in a suit filed in the
district court yesterday by James. De
Kay against Andrew and To1ine Stolpe-
stad, an action to recover $1,6OO on a
mortgage note, alleged to have been
made June Is, 1892, and which fell due
June Is, 1897. The suit is being con-
tested by the defendants on the ground
that the note is OutlaWed, the Stolpe-
stadS claiming that they were ready
to pay off the note at the time it fell
due and for several years later, but
were unable to do so because they
could find no one who was authorized
to receive the money. One of the pro-
vision of the original note was that it
was to be paid at the Office of B. J.
Shipman, an attorney.
The complaint sets forth the. allega-
ton that the Stolpestads paid $3.50 on
the debt in June, 1903, in consideration
of not being sued, and thiaHpayment,
it is contended by the plaintiff, served
to prevent the debt from becoming OUT
lawed, the defendants at that time en-
tering into written agreement where
by new limitation period should be-
gin to run from that date.
In their answer filed to the complaint
the Stolpestads deny liability on the
SfOuHU IndI lfl6 nOI6 Is OUIldWeO. Iney
say that when the note became due in
June, 1897, they were able and willing
to pay 1T, but that the place of resi-
dence or the whereabouts of the payee
could not be learned, and that there
was no person who was authorized to
receive the money in payment of the
note and execute release of tn mort
gag.
On June 12, 1903. Attorney Shipman
claiming to have been in correspond
ence with the plaintiff and contendine
that he had authority to represent him
in the matter, recommended to the
plaintiff that a compromise be made
and that at that time, supposing the
representations of the attorney to be
true, $3.50 was paid, which amount was
to be credited on the settlement of the
note.
On the ground that Attorney Ship
man had no authority to represent the
plaintiff in the settlement of the debt
the Stolpestads claim that no pay
! ment has ever been made and that the
note is outlawed

MUST REVISE TARIFF
Steenerson Admits Schedules
Should Be Changed.

Sentiment in my district is un-
doubtedly in favor of a revision of the
tariff" said Halvor Steenerson, con-
gresham from the Ninth Minnesota
district, who spent yesterday in st.
Paul
''The farmers of the Ninth district
are largely protectionists, but they
want the tariff revised to point where
the increased price paid American labor
over that abroad can be maintained
and still cheaper the article below the
present prices. They realize that times
and conditions change and that sched-
ules should be changed to meet them.
My constituents are not in favor,
however, of admitting butter, eggs and
other farm produce from Canada into
this state to be their competitors They
realize that the best Canada can give
the United States in return is a prefer
ential of S3 1-3 per cent, the same as
they give England, and while the re-
moval of the Canadian-Am American tar
iff walls would probably help the man
ufacturers and jobbers of the North
west they are opposed to bringing in as
competitors with themselves the prod
ucts of the Canadian soil.
''The settlement of the tariff ques-
ton, however, is comparatively unim-
portant as compared to the develop
ment of Northern Minnesota. The
building Of two new lines of railroad,
one by the Great Northern and the
other by the 500 into the new part Of
the state, will bring hundreds of set
tiers in to conquer the wilderness and
turn the now waste places into a highly
productive country. There is much ado
about the opening of the eleven town
ships in the Red Lake Indian reserva-
ton to settlement. This is a mere bag
atelle compared to the development
that the railroads are bringing. An
empire in area is being opened to set
tlement."

being thrown across the room. He
saws his arm was badly burned and
that he was otherwise injured.
Mr.. Bardon charges the telephone
company with negligence, alleging that
the wires were permitted to come into

CHARGES CON GAME
GoV. w. r. Merriam Claims Real
Estate Man TriCked Him.

William r. Merriam, former director
of the United States census bureau,
and at one time governor of Mime
sofa, has discovered, so he believes,
that he was given the double-cross by
a Minneapolis real estate dealer in a
deal for a. farm made more than six
years ago. Gov. Merriam says he was
buncoed out of $3,600, and yesterday he
commenced a suit in the United States
circuit court against James A. John
son demanding that the court order
Mr. Johnson to make an accounting.
Some ten years ago Gov. Merriam
owned a farm of $40 acres of land in
Stevens county and in 1895 he placed
the property in the care of James A.
johnson, a Minneapolis real estate
dealer. Three years later Johnson was
authorized to sell the land, and short
time later it is claimed that the real
estate man told him he had a customer
for the farm in the person of Nelson
Cousins, of Willmar, who agreed to pay
$40 an acre, or a total of Sc, 400 and it
was agreed that the farm should be
disposed of.
Gov. Merriam alleges that before the
sale was closed, and as he supposed,
just in order to facilitate matters, he
transferred tie farm to Johnson for a
consideration OF 81, it being understood
that the real estate man was to dis
toner at the price stated.
So far as Gov. Merriam was con-
cerned the deal was consummated at
that time, and he was paid what pur-
ported to ebe the proceeds of the sale,
minus the commission allowed John
son. But after the expiration of more
than six years the former governor
learns, so he says, that he was made
the victim of a confidence game.
He says Johnson never sold the farm
TO Cousins. who was afterwards found
to be a day labOrer with no money with
which to purchase a farm. Instead, it
is claimed that the Minneapolis man
found another purchaser, to whom he
sold the farm for $4,000, or $4,000
more than Gov. Merriam supposed had
been received for it.
Now Gov. Merriam wants a settle
ment with Johnson, and the suit
brought by him in the federal court will
compel the Minneapolis man to come
into court and tell the details of the
sale of the farm once owned by the
former governor.

CIGAR DEALERS TO
CIRCUMVENT TRUST
VIII Let Contract to Manufac.
tuFer for Supplying Spe-
CiaI Brands.

The members of the st. Paul Asso-
clation of Cigar Dealers, tired of fight
ing the tobacco trust with the products
or independent houses who sell out
to the trust as soon as their goods are
in demand, have decided to place upon
the market brands of smoking tobacco
and of plug tobacco equal in quality
to the principal products of the trust.
This was decided upon at a meeting
Of the association at 4S East Fourth
street.
In order to commence negotiations
Tor the letting of contract to a man
ufacturing company for the supplying
of special brands to ST. Paul dealers.
the association yesterday authorized
the secretary to advertise for bids on
specified quantities. AS soon as the
association secures quotations steps
VIII be taken to have the most favora-
BILE bidder supply the St. Paul dealers
with the tobacco.
The st. Paul association will be the
owner of the brands and the labels.
which Will be intended only for local
use. The brands will be handled by
the St Paul dealers who have been
combating the trust in this city, but
who have been at a DISADVANTAGE in
not having satisfactory weapons for
the purpose.
Tired of Present Conditions.
ST am tired of pushing the goods of
independent houses, which sell out to
the trust as soon as we get their prod
ucts Well on the market said one of
the members at the meeting yester-
day. We have been at a disadvan-
tage right along, and the only thing
for US to do is to get brands of our
own, fully equal in quality to those of
the trust, and to put them on the mar
ket ourselves"
The manufacturer will be engaged to
supply the st. Paul dealers with
liked amount of the various kinds of
tobacco needed at specified periods The
tobacco will be delivered at st. Paul
and viii be distributed among the re-
tallers.. A member of the association
or Jobber will be chosen to handle
the tobacco when it reaches this city.
The association has not yet decided
upon names for the tobacco to be han
died, the members having been asked
to suggest appropriate designations.
The trade mark of the tobacco will be
local in its design, and will be owned
and controlled by the ST. Paul asso-
citation. The goods viii bear the union
label.
c. S. Bartram was elected secretary,
to succeed L. K. Newman, who ten
dered his resignation.
