ESL0W WORK ON FRANCHISE
COUNCIL. COMMITTEE AGAIN PUTS
OFF ACTION ON ELECTRIC COM
PANY'S GRANT.

It has been discovered by the coun-
Gil committee on ordinances that is no
simple matter to draft measure in
volving such an important question as a
franchise for an electric company. When
the committee met this morning with
City Attorney Frank Healy and n. Fl
Hawley, representative Of the Retail
Dealers association, the measure was
not ready, and it was decided to ask the
general committee to meet tomorrow at
10 AIN. instead Of today.
There was tendency to amend the
ordinance radically this morning. While
the Minnesota Power {, Trolley com
pany professed to be willing to accept
any ordinance and to give a big bond
it wanted some concessions in view of
the fact that there is no apparent move
ment to regulate the Minneapolis Gen
eral Electric company, which fact will
place the new company at great dis
advantage.
The new company was successful in
abrogating the gross earnings clause in
the event that the city accepted the
company'e proposal to furnish standard
electric arc lights at $3.50 per lamp
per year on the all-night schedule. The
company sought to change the .provi
sion that its directors could not hold
stock in rival company, but failed as
the safeguard was deemed necessary to
prevent a merger.

WANT FREE SERVICE
Test Case May Be Brought on Inter
urban Phone Charges. - ~

The fact that the Twin City Tele-
phone company allows free toll to peo-
pie living in the Midway district to
Minneapolis, is likely to be the. basis
of test case to secure free service be-
tween Minneapolis and ST.. Paul. The
question Of free service between the
cities has been agitated in st. Paul for
some time.
It is argued that concessions granted
the telephone companies are sufficient
to be the basis Of a just demand that
the toll be done away. with. # It is
shown that discrimination is being
made in favor Of the Midway people it
will be possible to compel the company
to give free service on legal grounds,
The tremendous expense of building
and maintaining the, trunk lines be
tween the two cities, altho the limits
are adjacent, is cited by the Twin City
company as a bar to throwing. open of
the lines to the free use Of subscribers
in either city. It costs $4,000 a mile
to build these interurban lines and three
at $4,000 mile. .... : t.,. IS.

SERVICES HELD FOR FIREMAN
KILLED ON DUTY.
Scores of Citizens Send Floral Tokens

Wilkinson Oficiates and Makes an
Impressive Address.

With his casket covered with beau
tiful flowers, and with spoken words
voicing appreciation of the heroism of
his death, the body Of John f. Fellows,
the fireman who lost his life in the Bou-
tell building in the recent fire, was
buried this afternoon in Lakewood
cemetery. Over one hundred fremen
in uniform followed the remains to ST..
Mark 8 church and later to the grave.
The ceremonies were a filing tribute
to the memory of the heroic soldier of
peace. The pallbearers were selected
from the members of engine company
No. 10, to which Fellows belonged.
They were Captain Fred Rake, Lieu
tenant T. K. Wilson, Nelson Pepin,
John Simcoe, William Mathews, Will
liam Vogel. The other members Of the
company-Matt Coyle, George Kersten,
Joe Steffes, Michael Henry and Chief

cluded numbers by the boy choir, which
sang "Lead, Kindly Light,' "Abide

the church, Beethoven funeral march
was played.
Scores of Minneapolis people in every
walk Of life sent floral offerings. They
were heaped about the casket in such
profusion as almost to hide it. Larger
pieces were grouped about. Floral
gifts had been sent by every fire sta
ton in the city.

HAD NO MONEY
OF RICHMOND'S
MISS UHRIsTIANSoN's BROTHER
MAKES STATEMENT.
Brother Of Murdered Woman Denies
that She Was Financial Beneficiary
of the Murderer-Tells of Loan She
Made Him and How It Was Settled.

The family of Miss Lima Christian
son, who was murdered by F. B. Rich
mond, has returned from Cottonwood,
where her funeral was held. On &C
count of the misleading statements
which have been made in regard to the
financial relations of Miss Christensen
and Mr.. Richmond, G.. r. Christianson,
banker at Minnewaukan, n. D., con
sented to an interview. He considers
that the will of Mr.. Richmond was a
plain showing of his financial condition
and proved that his sister had nothing
belonging to him. But he made the
following specific statement:
~ regret very much that 1t should be
necessary to refer to this most unfor-
tunate affair; but owing to- certain
newspaper articles a false impression
has gone abroad in regard to the bust
ness relation which my sister sustained
to Mr.. Richmond, and in Justice to her
memory it is my duty to make a brief
statement of the facts.
81 am thoroly conversant with all
of the business affairs Of my late sis
ter and her business relations with the
late Mr.. Richmond. The only property
Of any kind ever transferred by MI.
Richmond to my sister Lima was 16O-
acre farm located about six miles west
of the village of Thompson, N. D. This
transfer was MADE In + eDruary, ISoo,
and was made to liquidate loan due
to Lima and also to aid Mr.. Richmond
to raise additional money for business
purposes. There was a mortgage OF
$500 on the farm and the considera'
ton paid to him was $1,000, and was
all that the property was worth. My
sister was in no manner a financial
beneficiary of Mr.. Richmond.'
In addition, Mr.. Christensen stated
that the stock certificate found on Miss
| Christensen s person was her own, hav
ing been purchased of local broker
and the fact of her having It with he1
was purely accidental.
Estate in Probate Court.
Miss Christensen left an estate
valued at $4,000. Of this amount
So 900 is in real estate and the remain

FOUGHT OFF ASSAILsANT
South Minneapolis Girl Bravely Defends
HerSalf

An attempt was made to assault a
young girl in Southeast Minneapolis last
Friday, and the girls assailant was so
badly wounded in the encounter that the
police hope to identify him by his in
juries.
The girl lives in South Minneapolis,
and had been visiting friends on Border
street Sc. AS she was walking along
Eighth street Sc to the car line, a man
suddenly darted out from pile of lum-
her and grabbed her by the throat. He
threatened her with a revolver, but she
made determined fight, and he dropped
the gun, taking instead an ugly looking
knife from his pocket.
AT this she made desperate struggle
to free herself, and he struck at her
with the knife. The blow missed her,
and the blade was buried deep in his
own hand. He Immediately fed and
made good his escape.
The police have a partial description
of the man and aided by the wound
hope to make an arrest. They followed
him as far as the railroad tracks by
the bloody trail.

COUNCIL METHODS
MAY Be REVEALED
BUILDING INSPECTOR WILL ASK
AN INVESTIGATION.
MIR. Houghton Thinks Thoro Inquiry
Would Relieve Him Of Blame for
Falling of Wall-Such an Inquest

Really Has.

James G.. Houghton, building inspec-
tor, will ask the council to Investigate
his official conduct in connection with
the late business district fire and the
consequent disasters. His request will

row evening and presumably will be
Even if the council should be dis
posed to ignore the suggestion of Mayor
James G. Haynes for an investigation,
it will hardly refuse a hearing to one
of it's servants when his official con-
duct has been called into question.
Personally, Mr.. Houghton feels that he
has been unjustly treated by the criti-
cisms showered on him. He feels that
he did all that he could do under the
circumstances.
Such an investigation, if fairly con-
Quoted, will bring to light many surpris-
ing facts, which will not be discredit-
able to the building inspector, even in
the face of the charge that a brick
wall six stories high was not placed in
as safe condition as possible to with
stand assaults Of wind and weather.
There is a feeling that chances were
taken, in view of the fact that the wall
actually fell down.
The statement that the building in
spector thought the wall was safe and
confirmed this opinion is not satisfac-
tory in view Of what happened. Had
the walls been steadied by guy wires
or other contrivances and then fallen
the theory Of an act of providence
might be more generally accepted, but
as nothing was done in this direction,
the criticism cannot be avoided.

wall would safely stand a number of
days. What instructions were given
and what steps were taken in accord

that no order of the building inspector
| is obeyed unless the interested party
feels 50 inclined, as everyone is fully in;
formed Of the ease with which special
permits for doing almost any kind Of an
illegal act may be obtained from the
council. If it should be shown that the
crossways between the Peck and the
Boutell buildings, which are believed tx
have helped the fire across, were built
upon special permits from the council
and in opposition to the wishes of the
building inspector, it. may also have ar
important bearing on fixing the respon
I. sibility.
The investigation may serve to show
i Just how much authority the building
inspector has, and it will be found that
while he is supposed to be an autocrat
he really has no authority to enforc,
any of his orders.
