BODY FOUND IN RIVER
IT rs THOUGHT TO BE THAT OF
EDWARD HAWKINS, ESCAPED
WORKHOUSE PRISONER.

Part of the badly decomposed body
Of man was found among the logs at
the c. A. Smith sawmill, Forty-fourth
avenue N and the river, yesterday aft
ernoon. The remains are supposed to
be those Of Edward Hawkins, a prison
workhouse June 8, but who sank among
the logs as he tried to swim the river.
The remains are so badly deeomposed
that identification is impossible, and
for that reason some think that they
may be the remains Of Harry Middle
a raft Just south of Anoka, May 26.
Hankins' daredevil attempt to es-
cape from the workhouse is well remem-
bered. He had been sentenced to serve
eighty days, and upon his arrival at
the, Workhouse notified Superintendent
away at the first opportunity. The eve
ming Of June 8 he saw his chance, and,
while guard stood within ten feet of
him, made dash for liberty. The
guard followed, firing several shots.
Hawkins ran to the river and out upon
the logs, while the guards stood on the
shore t and tried led to get him to return
at him, all of them, the guards say
striking in the water some distance
from the prisoner.
Hawkins jumped into the water and
out into the stream, but when caught
by the current he sank. No trace OF
his remains has ever been found, I'M
less the legs and trunk found yesterday
are parts Of his body.
Hawkins was 10 years old, and his
relatives live at Scranton, Pa.
Harry Middleton, who was drowned
May 26, and whose. body has neve,
been found, was rafting down the Mis-
sissippi with a friend, who was touring
this country with him. When a few
miles south of Anoka, he lost his bal
ance and fell from the raft.

BOARDS TO Be DUNNED
WATERWORKS DEPARTMENT CO.
ING AFTER BILLS CHARGED
AGAINST PARK AND SCHOOL
BOARDS, .

Another attempt is to be made by
the waterworks department. to collect
water rates from the park board and
school board. The bills have been &C
cumulating for three years, but no par
ticular progress has been made in OBJ
tanning settlement. A year ago the
waterWorks authorities threatened to
shut off both parks and schools from
using city water unless the claims were
liquidated within a certain time, but
the boards begged off on the plea that
they had no money.
Alderman E. w. Clark, at yesterday IS
meeting Of the council s committee on
waterworks, introduced motion re-
quiring the officers of the department
to collect the bills against the school
board and park board, which now ag-
gregate about $4,000. The motion was
passed.
A special meeting Of the committee
will be held next Friday morning to
receive the report of the pure-wate1
commission. Allen Hazen of New York
has been in the city for several days
and, with F. W.aCappelen and Andrew
Rinker, is busily engaged in preparing
the report of the possible sources of
water supply for Minneapolis, with rec.
concentrations as to the most available
and the most satisfactory method Of
publication. ~ -sr

ST. PAUL COUNCIL
BLOCKS BIG WORK
BUILDING OF NEW INTERURBAN
LINES DEFERRED.
Twin City Rapid Transit Company I'm
willing to Construct Them and the
Proposed Shops at Midway Because
Of the per Gent Gross Earnings
Tax. j

The expenditure Of hundreds of thou
sands of dollars in improvements by the
Twin City Rapid Transit company,
much of it within the limits of Mime
apolis, waits upon the action Of the ST..
Paul city council.
These improvements consist Of the
two talked-of new interurban routes
and the building of the new shops. The
company will not extend its lines in
ST.. Paul, nor begin work on it's shops,
because of the fact that such improve
ments bring it under the per cent
gross earnings tax-which is consid-
cred excessive taxation. Council men,
bers in st. Paul fear to take any ac-
ton to repeal the gross earnings prop
believe would come from some sources
based on the allegation that such ac-
tion was for corporate interests and
not for the people. But in taking this
view of it, the council of st. Paul sim
ply checks general street railway i'm
provements which are not only demand
desired by the residents of Minneapolis.
Just as soon as the St. Paul council
takes action that will permit the street
railway to make improvements without
coming under the 5 per cent tax, the
Merriam Park line in st. Paul will be
extended thru to Minneapolis as one
| new lnterurban; the Mlnnehaha and
| Fort Smelling lines will be connected,
including the building of new bridge
across the river at Fort Smelling, and
construction work will be commenced
on the new Midway shops.
Plans for all these Improvements
have been completed for some time
ready to advertise for bids, and the
action Of the St. Paul council is the
only stumblingblock to the outlay of
thousands in improvements, the EN-.
ployment of hundreds of men and the
creation of advantages long desired by
the public of the twin cities.
