JOURNEYS LONG WAY
WITH A MADMAN
officer Travels 1900 Miles in Wilderness
With lunatc

OTTAWA, Ont, Dec. 30.-The records
of the mounted police department here
contain the account of somewhat re-
markable and unique journey made by an
officer of the Northwest mounted police.
1t was journey with a raving maniac as
a sole companion and as his charge for
1900 miles through the snowy wastes of
winter in the Canadian Northwest.
Corporal Field, of Fort Chipweyan, re-
ceived summons to attend to a case of
lunacy in the northern country. He
started On Feb. 2 with dog trains, and it
took him fourteen days to reach his des-
tination The object was to bring down
a violent lunatic, who, while engaged in
mission work, had lost his reason. On
the way down the man became so violent
that he had to be strapped to the sleigh.
With great gentleness, although the luna
tic bit scratched and even spat in his
face. the officer waited upon him patiently,
and when he refused other food, made
beef tea for the unfortunate. Frequently
the officer had to feed his prisoner like
an infant as he would not eat unless the
food was placed in his mouth bit by bit.
Starting On Feb. IS, Corporal Field, aft
er covering 7o0 miles by March 1, reached
Fort ChipWeyan This was scarcely half
the Journey however, and on March the
officer set out for Fort Saskatchewan,
600 miles distant, and on March "a ar
rived there having covered 1,300 miles
through the winter selitudes of the far
north. The demented man was carried
all through it in perfect safety and not
having sustained the slightest injury. and
was afterward sent to the asylum at
Brandon Man.

TROLLEY COMPANY
GETS A FRANCHISE
Council Passes an Ordinance
Which Gives General EIec-
trio Opposition

BY a vote of Is to the Minneapolis
city council last night granted the Min
nesota Power and Trolley company a
thirty year franchise for the furnishing of
electric energy and light in Minneapolis.
This was done in spite of request on
the part of the-public affairs committee
of the Commercial club, of Aid. Lane, of
the Second ward who demanded a yea
and nay vote on nearly every amendment
and the attempt on the part Of his coll
league, Aid. E. c. Chatfeld, to have the
matter laid over until next year.
Mr.. Chatfield came near winning his
point for the motion to lay over was de-
feated by the narrow margin of II to 10
votes, President Jones voting to postpone
action.
Then the ordinance was put on its final
passage and carried by a vote of 16 to g.,
as follows:
Yeas-Ryan. Gerber, Mumm. Nye,
Holmes. Rand. McLaskey, Vaughn, Pow
ers. Larson, Mccoy, Dwyer, Duryea, Peter
Nelson, Westphal, President Jones-16.
Nays-Chatfield. Lane, S. E.. Adams,
Merrill, n. J. Nelson, Clark, A. S. Adams,
Schoonmaker, Van Nest-9.
This company, in which John Lind and
others are interested, proposes to develop
electric energy at Elk river and bring it
to a central station in Minneapolis. 1t
promises to furnish street lights for a
price not to exceed $3.50 a year, against
the $97 which the city pays at the present
time.

LOSES ART PRESTIGE
Students No Longer Flock to
Rome as Formerly

ROME, Dec. 30.-Of late years many of
the French students in painting, sculp-
ture, music and engraving, who come here
as the result of gaining the once much
coveted "prix de Rome have shown but
little enthusiasm in remaining for the
entire length of their term of three years.
Were it not for the fact that they live
here in comparative luxury at govern
mental expense, with very little to inter
fere with their own free will, there is no
doubt that the majority of them would
have begged leave to return to Paris,
since Rome no longer represents what it
did from the artistic point of view a the
time that the prize was first established.
The fact that the election in the Paris
institute for the successor to the present
director of the Villa 1Medici NJ. Guillaume,
has shown that few of the illustrious
French artists and musicians care to ex-
lie themselves to Rome, even to take so
lucrative and pleasant post, has not
been without its effect in increasing this
disposition of the students.
They know that number of great art
lists and sculptors refused it on the score
of age before it was offered to the great
French composer. NJ. Saint-Saens,. who
gave as his excuse that he could not
stand the climate in winter. 1t now looks
as If Carolus- Duran would get the place
and he is known to want it. But he is not
personally popular with the students.
The latter held a mass meeting in secret
| the other night and discussed the ques-
tion of asking in body to be allowed to
return to Paris. This would have been the
death blow, perhaps, to the old institu-
tion, which is now more a sentiment than
a real utility. The students were dissuad-
ed from taking any action until the new
directors arrived. Eat the dissuasion came
from the men VINO have almost completed
| their three years study. Some of the Of
| ficials of the Villa Medici make no secret
of their belief that before long the insti-
tuition will disappear.

KEMPF is BADCERED
Governor May Prevent Treas
urer's Inauguration
Special to The Globe

Special to The Globe
MADISON, Wis, Dec. 30-John j.
Kempf, of Milwaukee, ousted by Gov. La
Toilette as state treasurer three months
ago and reelected for a second term last
November by a larger vote than that re-
ceived by the governor, may not be inaug-
urated Monday with the other state Off
GERS. 1t is firmly believed here that he
will not be allowed to take his Office if
Gov. La Toilette sees his way clear to
prevent it.
At the demand of Mr.. Kempf the gov
ernor said hee would require a bond of
100000, six times as large as given by
the present treasurer, T. M. PurteN, who
was appointed by Gov. La Toilette when
Mr. Kempf was turned out of office.
Mr.. Kempf says he is ready with the
big bond. In order to get this from the
bonding company he had to give back a
personal indemnifying bond of 100000, it
is understood, and friends of the governor
declare that the executive ought not to
approve the 100000 bond, which the stat
uteS make necessary before the treasurer
can qualify, because the company would
not bond the man without first being re-
lieved of the risk.
On this point the Inauguration of Mr.
Kempf may be delayed and the matter
submitted to the legislature. The situa-
ton is claimed to be dangerous by ad-
ministration people.

ALDERMEN FILE
SPECIAL VERDICT
Declare No Person Responsible
for the Peck Building
Disaster

The Minneapolis aldermen have eX-
onerated themselves of any responsibility
for the fire which caused the destruction
of the Peck -Boutell building about two
weeks ago and for the disaster OF a few
days later when the walls of the Peek
building fell and crushed the Crocker
hotel and killed six men.
A coroner,s jury investigated the af-
fair and scored the aldermen for laxlty
in the matter of granting special permits
which allowed the constructions OF run
ways between the two buildings.
Experts asserted that the fire was car
ried from the Peck building to the Bou-
tell structure across one of the runWays
but the aldermen who composed the spe-
eiaI committee appointed to consider the
tragedy say this is untrue The report
was submitted last night and is as fol-
lows:
after having listened to a great mass
of testimony and after having caretulIy
investigated said matters, we find that
the fire originated in the basement of the
Peck building (so-called). near the ele-
vator shaft: that said building was stock
ed with furniture and other lnf1amma Die
material; that said building was sepa-
rated from the Boutell building by a six
teen-foot alley, and that in said alley
were a number of windows on each floor
of the Boutell,- Peck and Bintliff build
ings, and runways extending between the
Peck building and the Boutell building, on
the fourth and fifth floors; that the run
ways were protected by iron shutters and
were closed That when the fire became
so intense in the Peck building as to
cause the fifth floor of said building ito
fall either an explosion took place.. or
crossing of electric wires, or both, which
caused the fire to rush from the Peck
building across the alley and through the
Boutell building. inStantaneously, and that
said ROutell building being filed largely
with furniture and infiammable material
the entire building was rapidly enyeloped
in flames, and that because Of said eX-
ploSion or crossing Of said electric wires,
or both, it would have been impossible to
save the Boutell building, even though
said runways were not there.
I'VE further find that the people occu
pying the Crocker building (so-called),
we've properly notified by the city authori-
ties and that after said fire the south wall
of the Peck building had been examined.
both by the inspector of buildings and
other experts, and pronounced safe.
I'VE further find that the reason for the
falling of said wall was an unforeseen
action of the elements, in the nature of a
hurricane and that no human effort could
have forseen or prevented said accident.
and your committee are unable to locate
any blame, either on said fire department
or the inspector of buildings"
Inspector Is Pleased
The report is particularly gratifying to
Building Inspector j. G. Houghton, who
has been cenSured in some quarters for
being remiss in his duty for not ordering
the side wall of the Peck building torn
down.
The committee met yesterday morning
and spent the greater part of the day
hearing testimony of experts and eye wit
lated a report which let everybody down
easily.

SENATOR MITCHELL
DEFIES ACCUSERS
Thinks Portland No Longer Needs Him
and Returns to Washington

PORTLAND, Or, Dec. 30.-Senator
John H. Mitchell, who came to Portland
last week to appear before the federal
grand jury in connection with the land
fraud Investigations which are being
prosecuted by the federal government,
left for Washington, d. c., tonight
Senator Mitchell, in an interview just
before the departure of his train, said
that he could see no reason why he
should remain in Portland longer, and
thought his public duties in Washington
demanded his presence in the capital
city.
Mr.. Mitchell stated that he knew of no
rea son why he-should remain here pend
ing the action of the grand jury in the
matter of his alleged connection with
the land frauds unearthed in this state,
and in this connection said in a written
statement to the press:
''I defy my accuSers. I have lived in
this state over forty-four years. l have
served in the United States senate and I
defy any move to charge me successfully
with any conduct that is otherwise than
honorable. am sure l cannot be con-
nected in any way with any land frauds,
except by the grossest perjury of self-con-
fessed and convicted thieves and per-
jurers.''
Senator Mitchell did not notify Special
Prosecutor Heney of his intention to
leave Portland.

COURTS DECISION IS
AGAINST JUDGE PARKER
He Loses First Case He Argued Since
He Left the Bench

ALBANY, N. Y, Dec. 3O.-Alton B..
Parker, former Democratic candidate
for president, received an adverse de-
cision today in the first case he ar
gued before the court of appeals since
his retirement from the bench. Judge
Parker appeared a month ago as
counsel for the plaintiff appellant in
the action of Elizabeth Reich, appel
liant, against Edith La Bau Dyer and
Lillian La Bau Aymar, as executrices
of the will of Alice V. La Bau.
Mrs. La Bau was an aunt of William
K. Vanderbilt, and the litigation grew
out of a transaction concerning real
estate known as the Brentwood farm,
adjoining the estate of Mr.. Vanderbilt
in Islip, L. 1. The property was con-
veyed to Mrs. La Bau by Mrs. Reich
as security for a loan, it is claimed,
with the understanding that it was
subsequently to be purchased by Mrs.
La Bau. The present suit was for the
difference between the amount of the
loan and the purchase price, which was
$4,000. The court today dismissed the
appeal with costs.

IT MAY Be WINSTON
Gov. Johnson May Solve Sur
veyor GeneraIship Problem


F. G. Winston is said to be the latest
candidate for the position of surveyor
general of logs for the Fifth district. He
does not want the office for the salary
there is in it, although it is one of the
best offices in the state, but he is said
to believe he is entitled to some reeogni-
tion at the hands of the governor elect.
Shortly after election he asked the gov
ernor-elect to appoint Michael Breslauer
as surveyor general. A host of other
candidates developed George P Douglas
private, secretary to Mayor HAYNES, en-
tered the field; so did James Dwyer, the
Democratic alderman from the Tenth, who
is about to retire; Elijah Barton, Orville
Rinehart and S. A. Stockwel
Mr.. Barton has the support of the con-
gresham from the Fifth district. John
Lind, and the congressman has been
active in his behalf. Now Mr.. Winston,
believing that there will be all sorts of
trouble in filling the place, has submitted
himself as a candidate. 1t is said by
politicians that the salary connected with
the place is no object to him, but he is
working in the interest of harmony among
the Hennepin county Democrats, who do
not dwell in unity.
