Time ExtG1d9d
For Completion Of the Sewer Con
tract till Dec. 20.

Doyle & Swartz, the sewer con
tractors, have been granted an ex
tension of time in which to com
plete their work. The Original
contract called for the completion
Of the work by Sept. 26. The ex.
tension gives them till Dec. 20.
The contractors have been III
against it" on account Of the rains
and the large amount of water il
the lake east of town, through
which the sewer passes. Il was
practically impossible for them tC
complete their contract within the
specified time. All Of the work is
about completed except the part
that runs through the lake and the
adjacent territory.
Although a three months extenr
sion of tiue was granted, the con-
tractors hope to complete theii
work in much less time. If the
water in the lake continues to fall
at the present rate, they will be
ready to resume operations in thir-
ty days and can easily finish up in
another month.

COLLINS WON'T TELL
WHAT ANSWER IS
He and State Librarian Nelson
Hear From Railroad Presi.
dent but Keep Mum.

Replies were received yesterday by
both Judge L. W. Collins and State
Librarian e. A. Nelson to their re-
quests from a st. Paul railway presi-
dent as to verification of statements
credited to him by r. C. Dunn, candi-
date for the Republican nomination
for governor, in an interview some
days ago.
Admissions were made by both Judge
Collins and Nelson that they had re-
ceived the replies from the railroad
president, but both declined to give out
the contents of the letters.
1t is said that Collins managers are
preparing a statement for publication
and it is limited that the contents Of
the letter to him from the. railroad off,
cial will be included in the statement.
The belief is quite general however,
that the managers of Judge Collins
VIII be content to let the whole matter
drop and not to push it further into
the forefront in the campaign.
Nelson said yesterday that the an
sWer he had received was not a reply
to the single important question asked,
but he did not propose to give out it's
contents, as he had no desire to oc-
cupy the front of the stage during the
progress of the play. At the railroad
company's offices it was stated that
there was nothing to say for publica-
tlon and that the contents of the let
ters must come from the men to whom
they were sent if they were ever made
public.

WOULOSMASH SLATE
Alderman-EIect Brennan Pro.
poses to Start Something.

j. j.. Brennan, recently elected as
alderman of the Ninth ward, has start
ed out to smash slate or two that he
thinks exist at this time, and as a be-
ginning will try to see that F. j. Huber
is not again chosen president of the
board
Brennan is working on the theory
that 1t may be possible to elect Matt
BantZ, of the Eighth ward, to Huber's
place, and to bring this about is urg-
ing that the new Democratic members
of the board should stand together
against those reelected. The four new
members are Nyberg, He'll, Lynch and
Brennan, and If they should stick to-
gether they would be able to carry the
Democratic caucus and elect their man.
But Brennan has little hope that he
VIII be able to get all four of the new
members into line, and would be salts
fed with three of them, his plan then
being to refuse to go into the Demo-
cratic caucus and by forming a coali-
ton with the two Republicans, Corning
and Hackney, elect Bantz, this making
it necessary for Bantz to vote for him.
self Mr.. Brennan's announced inten-
ton of making trouble is based on his
enmity Of e. l.. Murphy, Of the board
of public works, whom he accuses Of
opposing him on election day.
The contest that was expected for
the presidency of the assembly does
not display much life. To all appear
ances DR.. Schiffmann is not anxious
to be reelected, and DR.. Whitcomb is
therefore the only active candidate. 1t
is being urged by the Whitcomb fol-
lowers that DR.. Schiffmanns frequent
absence gives the Republican vice
president an opportunity to occupy the
chair too frequently. This is answered
with the assertion that the Democrats
are under no obligations to give the
is the only member of the party elect
ed and would likely prefer to be on the
floor
So far as known there is no opposi-
ton to the reelection of Assemblyman
Haas as presiding officer of the COM
mon council, a position that carries
with it the right to act as mayor in the
absence of Mayor Smith.

ENGLAND SHIPS HER
INSANE TO AMERICA
Mlnnesota's Deportation Agent
Makes Some Unpleasant Dis.
coveries in Records.

Four f1fths of the insane males Of old
England for the past fifty years are
shown by the records to have gone ito
sea-
D. A. Lindsey, deportation agent for
the state board of control, who is
charged with the oftentimes unpleas-
ant duty of deporting the alien insane
to foreign countries, where they have
a legal residence, has made an ex-
haustive study of the disposition of
insane men in the countries of Europe,
and he is convinced that, working
hand in glove with the big steamship
companies, the authorities are prone to
indulge in the questionable practice of
sending their unfortunates in great
numbers to America. This country
has, therefore, become the dumping
place for not only the insane, but the
criminal poverty stricken of many of
the old world countries.
In investigating the records of Eng
land Mr. Lindsey found scores of cases
where after the name Of the patient
| followed the simple inscription, "GOne
to sea- and, looking into the matter
more closely, found that the vague
designation really meant transported
to the United States, where they al

81 recently returned from New
York" said Mr.. Lindsey at his Office
at the state capitol yesterday, where
I had taken five insane persons for
deportation to the countries Of which
the unfortunates were rightfully citi-
zens. l watched, in company with the
immigration inspectors, the unloading
of several big shiploads Of immigrants,
and there were a good many of them
who did not look right to me. Several
were stopped at the wharf and ordered
returned by the steamship company at
the company's expense.
Zone case was a women Of thirty
five, who was accompanied by an i'm
beetle girl of eight. The case was so
palpable that the steamship company
must have known it was accepting a
passenger whom it had no right to
| take, but the companies are willing to
| take the chances.
1.-The United States deports cases
coming within the scope of two years
| from the arrival of the immigrant, but
| the state is forced to act after that
period. 1t takes hold of the cases
where it can be proven that the pa
| tient had manifested symptoms of in
sanity or was an inmate of some In
stitution before leaving the land Of his
| birth. The patients scarcely ever want
to return home, and a letter l received
today from the father of a young man
who is now patient at the Fergus
Falls hospital for the insane, and writ
ten at a small town in Sweden, begged
that we keep the lad here. as he was
certain of better treatment in the
American institution than in Sweden
He goes back, however.
"a stricter supervision ought to be
! kept over the steamship companies in
| their operations In bringing over un-
! desirable immigrants, and 1t would
save the Northwestern states many
thousands Of dollars annually.

DAVIS BELIEVES HE'S
STRONGER THAN EVER
Third District Congressman Doesn't
Anticipate Formidable Opposition.

He doesn't know for certain wheth-
er he is to have an opposition candi-
dte for congress, but Representative
G. r. Davis, of st. Peter, who was in
St. Paul last night, said that he be-
lieves he is considerably stronger with
the people of his district than ever be-
fore.
There has been a good deal Of talk
in some of the newspapers that I am
to have a determined opposition for a
denomination, and Minneapolis news
paper has been especially diligent in
finding a candidate to dispute the
nomination with me-" said Mr.. Davis.
II really don't know what the situa-
tion is, but 1 think have more friends
in the Third district than at any time
since I have been in politics, and my
end of the district was friendly indeed
two years ago. l will not say that
am not to have an opponent, nor that
l am not to have a competitor for the
nomination, but I hope to give a good
account of myself"
State Senator G. A. Johnson, of St
Peter, who was with the st. Peter
congressman at the Merchants, said
that his home county was solidly for

MANY WILL DISCUSS
HIGH SCHOOL PROBLEM
Hearing Before School Board Tonight
Promises to Be Well Attended.

The hearing before the school board
this evening will take place in the
council chamber, it having been decid-
ed that the rooms where the board
meets will not be large enough to ac-
commodate the crowd.
1t is expected that there will be a
large delegation from the First ward
also quite a number of citizens from
the Sixth ward, and representatives
from the different commercial bodies.
A lengthy session is expected.
Action on the question is not eX-
pected at this meeting, the hearing be-
ing for the purpose of securing a pub
lie expression on the high school situa-
ton. The main issue is whether the
present high schools shall be main
tanned and improved; whether one
large central high school shall be
erected and take the place of the four
present schools, or whether the pres
ent Central school shall be maintained
and 100000 building erected in some
other section of the city, and the
Cleveland and Humboldt abolished.
