CAN LIVE AT "WORKS"
WITHOUT HIS WITS
Charles Burns imposes on Lodging
House Keeper and Gets 80 Days.

Charles Burns, alias Charles Bur-
ling, gave Judge Finehout an interest
ing dissertation on the gentle art Of
living on his wits yesterday afternoon.
Burns was arrested on Monday at
the instance Of A. H. Behr, who &C
cused him of using beds in his lodging
house at 44S Jackson street without
authority or the necessary amount lof
cash to recompense the owner for the
use of the same. Behr informed the
court that Burns had been occupying
one of his rooms for more than
week, and that he had told him to keep
away Burns, however, came back,
and all efforts of the indignant Behr
to keep him away were unavailing.
On Monday morning, Behr's patience
having reached the limit, he had Burns
arrested. Burns informed the court
that he was accustomed to get free
meals and rooms. Any old place where
he could hang his hat was good enough
for him. He was in the midst of an
interesting romance of his past great
ness when the judge interrupted him
with a curt thirty days."

BOARD REPRIMANDS
SCHOOL INSPECTOR
He Promises Not to Repeat Of
tense and Is Forgiven-Of-
ficers Are Reelected.

An effort was made yesterday at
the secret session of the board of
school inspectors, held just previous to
the regular session., to discover the
member of the board, or other person,
who recently gave to the newspapers
information of matters to come be-
fore the inspectors.
Although a new member, and pos
sibly not familiar with, all such mat
tiers, Inspector Boeringer desired that
it be understood that he had nothing
to do with having given out the vari-.
Gus matters that We're to be recon-
mended by the superintendent of
schools.
Ultimately the inspector who was
responsible admitted his guilt, and the
affair was voted a question beyond the
Jurisdiction of the board, although the
member was asked to do nothing of
the kind in the future, to which he
agreed. It
AS predicted in The Globe, all
of the officers to be chosen at this time
were reelected, These included IN
spector Holman, president; Inspector
Fry, vice president; Octave Savard,
secretary; George N. Gerlach, super1n-
tendent of repairs, and Miss Eustace.
clerk to the superintendent. The sal
aries of the three latters were contin-
ued at the figure in force during the
past year. There was no opposition to
those elected. The superintendent and
assistant superintendent are chosen in
June.

DEARTH WILL GUT IN
Questions Fairness of Pro-
posed Coinsurance Scheme.

Il am informed that a number of the
insurance companies doing business in
this state will make an attempt to
generally enforce what is termed the
co-insurance clause upon merchants
in inSuring their stocks of goods said
Elmer H. Dearth, state commissioner of
insurance yesterday to 7 h e G 10 b e.
MY information is that committee
representing certain companies held
meeting recently at Chicago and de-
cided that on certain classes of bust
ness risks, which would embrace the
stocks of nearly all merchants, they
would refuse to take the business I'M
less the insured would apply for the
co-inSurance clause.
'The co-insurance contract is hard
to explain comprehensively to one not
familiar with the insurance business,
but in brief it means that the insured
guarantees to keep his property in
sured up to a certain fixed percentage
of it's value, and if at time of loss his
insurance falls below that percentage
he must stand the loss on the amount
of the discrepancy.
''In other words, the insured is CO.
insurer to any amount that his insur-
ance may fall below the guaranteed
percentage of the value of his prop
erty. This arrangement is of no great
consequence in case of total loss, but
in pro rata settlement of a partial loss
it is to the advantage of the compa-
MES and the detriment Of the insured.
81 shall investigate the report have
received and immediately take such
steps AS 1 can, under our law, to pre-
vent the enforcement of any such rule
on the part Of the companies"

CAN'T HEAR REQUEST
FOR WALL TELEPHONES
School Board Does Not Regard Them
as a Necessity at Central High.

The Central high school will proba-
bly, wait for some time for the build
ing telephones that are desired, the
purpose being to make it easy for the
various teachers to communicate with
the principal.
In the opinion of Inspector Lindahl
the telephones were not a necessity, at
least not so necessary as additional
school facilities, and that therefore the
proposition could well be put over to
some future time.
President Holman was of the same
opinion, and the suggestion that bids be
advertised for was put aside in favor of
the motion to file the papers.
Minis & Minis offered to put in the
required forty wall telephones for $495,
but wanted $3.50 additional if desk
phones were ordered.

WILL NOT ENLARGE
BETHESDA THIS YEAR
Hospital Directors Hold Meeting, and
Esd Anniversary Is Commemorated.

Bethesda hospital, Ninth and Wa
couta streets, will not be enlarged this
year unless authority for the proposed
addition to the building is granted by
the Swedish Lutheran conference at
st. Peter next May.
This was decided yesterday by the
board of directors at their annual
meeting held in the deaconesses home
adjoining the hospital. The cost of an
addition, as the board was informed,
would be greater than had been esti-
mated. Although the conference had
given permission to have the addition
built this year. nothing would be lost
by renewing that permission. The
work could be begun and completed
this summer after the conference had
adjourned.
Treasurer G. Bodin reported that the
hospital had received s23,742 during the
year, and had paid out $23,42S, includ-
ing $4,000 on account of the principal
indebtedness.
All day yesterday a reception was
held at the hospital to commemorate
the twenty third anniversary of Be
thesda's birthday.
In the afternoon the Ladies' Auxil-
larry society listened to annual reports
from Mrs. Sohlberg, the secretary, and
from Mrs. Lindberg, the treasurer.

Lately the city hall and court house
has proved veritable refuge in dis

Cramsie, the custodian of the hall,
started out to make the place too warm
to hold these gentlemen. He did not
invoke the assistance of the firemen,
however, but preferred to rely on the
police, with the result that there was
a rout of tramps from the halls of the
building with several police court
bailiffs in hot pursuit.
The victorious party succeeded in
capturing Lumpy Schu and Mickey
Lynch, who were accommodated with
steam heated rooms at the central sta
ton. The remainder were scattered in

AGAIN
DENIED A PAROLE
Board of Control Turns Down
Prisoners Second Appiica-
cation for Release.

Frank H. Hamilton's second applica-
ton for parole from the Saltwater pen
itentiary was denied yesterday by the
state board of control The matter
came up among others of similar char
acter at the regular monthly meeting
of the board at Saltwater. All three
of the members, Messrs. J. F. Jacob
son. S. w Leavett and o. B. Gould
were present at the meeting.
Hamilton's sentence of seven years
for the killing of Leonard Day at Min
neapolis was several months ago COM
muted to five years, by the state board
of pardons. At that time it was I'M
derstood that the purpose of this act
of clemency was that Hamilton might
be eligible to immediate parole. In
previous cases of this character it has
been customary for the board Of con-
troll to carry out the implied intent of
the board of pardons by granting a
parole upon application, but when
petition from Hamilton was presented
at the meeting of the board of control
next following the communication, 1t was
denied.
No reason was then given by the
board for it's departure from establish
pear that the case was such as to call
for further clemency at that time"
Deemed 1t Inadvisable.
In announcing it's action of yester-
day the board made no statement of its
motives. Mr.. Leavett, when asked by
The Globe after his return to say
upon what ground the board acted, re-
piled: Simply that the board did not
deem it advisable to grant the petit
ton"
From this second denial it is assumed
the board of control intends that Ham
ilton shall serve the full term of his
committed sentence. The fiye-year SEN
tence, with good time allowance"
means three years seven months and
eighteen days of actual time, which will
terminate Hamflton's Imprisonment in
September next.
Three prisoners, whose time of SEN
tence has expired, were discharged, and
one prisoner was granted a parole.

The following year the champions
made a tour of the United States, de-
feating successfully the Chicago, De-
troit, Cleveland, Baltimore, New York
and Montreal teams, and playing 2-2
tie with the Torontos, then champions
of Canada. An invitation to the To-
rontos for return game in st. Paul
was declined.
The following year some of the crack
players retired, and in match at Win
n1peg the Canadians nosed out vic
tory. Later in the season the New
York teams challenge was accepted.
White Bear was the battle ground, and
hundreds of the older residents of st.
Paul will remember that terrific strug-
gle. 1t was the fiercest game ever
played in the West and feeling ran
high. The New York players adopted
rough tactics and one time the spec

seemed imminent. Cooler counsel pre-
vailed, however, and New York won
out by narrow margin.

of fast players, did nothing startling,
and after a couple of years disbanded.
In 1898 the lacrosse fever again took
hold of st. Paul and team was or
organized, which has continued with
increasing efficiency until the present
day. In 1899 and 1900 the rivalry be-
tween ST. Paul and Minneapolis re-
suited in series of bitterly fought
contests. AT first was about an even
break. but ST. Paul continued to
strengthen until it finally outclassed
its sister city.
