SMITH FOR PORTER
Kenmare Senator Discusses
North Dakota Politics.

Porter is far from a dead one in
North Dakota politics, according to
Senator w. t. Smith, of Kenmare, N.
D., who is at the Merchants. He must
be counted on in the figuring of the
politicians as to the Republican NOM
ination for governor of the state, if
Senator Smith is to be believed.
Il believe that Ed Porter, present
secretary of state for North Dakota,
will be the Republican candidate for
governor" Senator Smith said last
night. He isone of the most popular
Republicans, and will be supported by
a large section of the state when the
convention Is held. There is an ele-
ment which would create the impress
sion that Porter will not be a candi-
date, but I doubt if anyone has been
authorized to make any such state
ment. e. Y. ,Sarles is a fine man, and
is deserving of recognition, but for a
good many reasons / think the Repub-
licans of the state will prefer Porter
at this time. In Ward county, where
live, the delegation to the state con-
vention-one of the second largest In

was unable to make collections, the
cost Of collecting being fully as much
as the amounts recovered, and the Off

Water Board viii Maintain a
Patrol Boat on the Lake
This Summer.

BatherS VIII have to shun the pure
sparkling waters of Lake Vadnais this
summer, the water board having de-
cided to maintain strict vigilance to
prevent the pollution of the city's main
reservoir.
In order to properly maintain a guard
over the lake the board has decided
to purchase patrol boat which will
be constantly in service during the hot
months. The boat will be a gasoline
launch of about FIVE horsepower.
Bids will be advertised for as soon
as committee appointed to make an
investigation has reported to the board.
The committee reported at a meeting
yesterday, but as the question arose
whether a screw propeller would, be
rnserviceable in the water which is
infected with weeds near the Shore ac-
ton was deferred till further inYesti-
cation has been made.
The board has not allowed bathing
in the lake, but as it has been impos-
S1ble to guard the water at all points
frequent violations of the rule have
occurred in past years." said Secretary
Caulf1eld yesterday. with a patrol
boat on the lake, however, it will be
possible to keep the water free from
bathers."
The water board was asked yester-
day by representatives of the American
Hoist and Derrick company, the Val
ley Iron works and Lee & Hoff Co.,
to put in six-inch pipe on Living
ston avenue, from Water street to Fill
more avenue, for fire purposes, but as
the companies draw their water supply
from artesian wells of their own, the
board was not inclined to grant the
request.
The applicants stated that their I'M
derwriters demanded hydrants in their
yards, but the members of the board
were averse to putting in the pipe
which would involve an outlay with
out revenue. The application was re-
ferred to a committee.

REFUSES TO TELL WHY
IT VIOLATED RESOLUTION
Superintendent of Street Railway De-
cIines to Give Satisfaction.

Supt Burdick, of the street railway
company, announced at a meeting of
the assembly committee on streets yes
terday afternoon that he would not
inform the assembly Thursday night
whether the company would comply
with the recent resolution asking for
a ten minute service on the Mississippi
and West st. Paul line. The resolution
was passed nearly a month ago, and
nothing has been done by the COM
pany to improve the service.
The committee called upon Mr.. Bur-
dick to explain why the ten-minute
service had not been established, but
he refused to make a statement, say
ing that he would first have to confer
with Vice President Goodrich He also
declined to promise a fifteen minute
schedule on the Stryker avenue line
unless the company would be allowed

TRIED IN VAIN TO
FREE HIS OMPANIONS
Joseph Hutterer Says He Threw the
Stone, but They Are Convicted.

"Tll tell you, Judge, it was me who
threw the stone, and all of those felers
are innocent" This remark, made by
Joseph Hutterer when he was called to
the witness stand yesterday in the
municipal court to testify in the case of
James Sidel Mike Lynch, John Kuettle
and John Larson, all of whom were on
trial for disorderly conduct in throw
ing stones at State street car early
on the morning of April "a.
Hutterer was arrested on the same
complaint on the day that the incident
happened. He had been tried, pleaded
guilty and paid fine of $25 last week.
The others had been apprehended aft
erWards, and Hutterer thought that by
telling the court that he had violated
the ordinance that he would save his
companions.
The effect Of his declaration, instead
of freeing his companions, was almost
fatal to his liberty. The attorney for
the defendants saw at once that Hut
terer was taking a long chance at be-
ing arrested for perjury, and 1mme-
diately called him from the stand.
Judge Hine lectured the witness on
the value of always telling the truth,
especially in the police court, and al
lowed him to depart. But his state
ment did lot prevent his companions
from being sentenced to the works.
Kuettle and Larson received thirty
days each. Lynch drew sixty, and
Sidel had friend in court who put up
$25 for his release.

UNCLE SAM GAINS
MANY SOLDIERS
Enough Enlist in March to
Make Up Three Regl-
mentS.

Soldiers enough to form more than
enIee regiments We're enlisted last
March, and applicants enough for nina
IesIIl!ents We're rejected at the various
recruiting stations of the limited
states army. Two hundred of tbesa
stations have permanent or temporarv
offices in various cities and towns
there are recruiting officers at all the
army posts, and with regiments ain
the field to-wit, under the Philippine
bamboo tree. In figures simple and
unadorned the recruits during March.
as now reported from Washington,
were 1876, of whom 1889 enlisted IN
the cities. The men rejected were
1921, of whom only 21O were found
hacking at army posts and in the field.
February enlistments were larger
still This was to be expected, because
during cold weather men often rally
beneath the flag from motives Of pa
trlotlsm mingled with love of crea-
ture comforts. George Washington's
favorite month welcomed 3,148 Ameri-
cans behind the Krag- Jorgensen, and
matted 1858 high-nfinded youths upon
the brink of personal sacrifice
SO unusual seeking after flesh for
cannon In time of peace has resulted
from the need of 10000 recruits during
the fiscal year ending June 80. 1904.
Agreeably to an order issued last fall
recruiting officers have exerted them
selves to fill the places of the numerous
soldiers who enlisted on the reorgani-
cation Of the army in 1901, and who
Will complete a three years term Of
service before the first of next July.
Largest Enlistment at Frisco.
The largest proportion Of successful
applicants for entrance to the trade of
war was reported in March from San
Francisco. The accepted there num-
bered 105, the rejected Sc. Many of
these men were probably Philippine
veterans who had fingered over long
at the Golden Gate after their dis
charge. Another fertile ground for
Hannibals, WellingtOns and Kuropat-
kins was Portland, Me-, where 1913 ap-
pncants were eagerly embraced and
l3O were cast out. Third on the list
of American Spartans is Duluth; there
1876 young men We're found to lack
good teeth or heroic souls, but 120 were
put in line for deathless glory.
In the St. Paul district ideals of the
perfect soldier attain so high a stand
ard that 1877 of the ambitious were
hagrined here last March and only 81
received permission to battle with gov
eminent soap.
But if every resident hereabouts,
barring gentle woman, is not born
soldier, the warrior instinct is even
more elusive at greater centerS. In
New York, for example, the appli-
cants accepted numbered 50, and the
applicants disappointed numbered 462,
or nearly six to one.

SAYS THEY PROSECUTE
ALLEGED BLIND PIG MAN
Judge Hine Declines to Increase His
Bail Of 500.

Joseph Tuor, arrested on the charge
of running blind pig near the corner
of University avenue and Prior, was
arraigned for trial in the municipal
court yesterday. The case was con-
tinued for one week, and Tuor was re-
leased on the same amount of bail,
800. despite the protests of a delega-
ton of Midway residents who were in
terested spectators.
d. w. Doty, the attorney, appeared
as spokesman for the law and order
league and urged that the bail be ma
terially increased. Judge Hine not only
refused to grant the request but COM
mented severely on the episode, char
acterizing it as persecution" saying
the man was sick man and had many
opportunities to jump his bail since
his arrest in March.
His appearance in court yesterday
proved his intention to appear in one
week from that time, and unless the
parties interested could prove that he
was arranging to leave town during
the coming week Judge Hine said he
must refuse to entertain the request.
