MAY BE BIG SURPLUS
REPORT OF THE CITY CONTROL
LER SHOWS MINNEAPOLIS FL
NANCES ARE IN A SPLENDID
CONDITION.

From the semiannual report Of the
city controller 1t appears that there
may be a handsome surplus in the
citys current expense fund at the
end of the year. For the present
annual period there was available, by
appropriation, $1,168,S56, Of which
there was expended in the first six
months $565,327, leaving a balance
Of $603,02S. &c.,.
All the subfunds seem in fair con-
dition except those of the police and
ment has an apparent 7overdraft Of
$4,000, and if it costs as much to run
the department the next half year,
there will be a deficit. The depart
ment spent $4,000 up to July / and
has $4,000 left. For the fire de-
partment there has been expended
about $4,000 and the balance is
about $174,OO0. ~r.
There are slight overdrafts for the
armory board, the law department.
the health department, the controller
and the treasurer Offices, but none
will probably show a deficit at the
end of the year.
The city assessor has spent more
than $4,000 out of a $4,000 appro-
priation, but his work is practically
over. In spite of the adoption of the
all-night schedule of street lighting
the fund is in fine condition and is
expected to show a handsome sur
shape are those Of the city engineer
municipal court, city hall, city clerk
and several minor ones. The cleo.
ton fund Of $4,000 is still unexpend-
ed, and it is hardly likely that the
whole amount will be used.

HARD MAN TO INTERVIEW
CARDINAL SATOLLI is CLOSELY
GUARDED AND is DIPLOMATIC
IN AVOIDING LEADING CUES
TIONS.
HARD TO GET AT
The Cardinal Is Difficult to Reach or
tn Draw Ont

Despite many barriers r h e j r
n a this morning succeeded in OBJ
tanning an audience with Cardinal Sa-
TOLL at Archbishop Ireland's residence
in ST. Paul.
The cardinal makes hardly a single
move which is not watched and care
fully guarded by several attendants
whose sole duty is to see that no harm
comes to the prelate and that his
slightest desires are satisfied.
When The Journal reporter
called at the archbishop's residence
he was shown into the waitingroom,
where after few moments he was
joined by one of the priests attendant
upon the party. An interview would
to the cardinals secretary.
When the reporter persisted, the
priest left, saying that he would speak
to the carninals secretary.
After waiting g. few moments more,
in and announced in turn that an inter-
view with the eminent prelate could
not be secured. The reporter still per-
sisted and Bishop O'Gorman then
left, saying that he would do what he
could toward securing an interview.
Shortly after his disappearance, Arch
bishop Ireland appeared and said that
it was against the policy of the cardt-
nal to give an interview and that If
anything Of official Importance was
to be given out it would be made pub
lie thru one Of the cardinals repre-
sentatives.
Finally Cardinal Satolli himself en-
tered the room, his face a wreath of
smiles, and to several leading ques-
lions he shook his head, saying that
his visit had no official significance.
my visit is purely one of pleasure y
he said, waving his hand majestically
toward a beautiful meadow close to
the archbishop's residence. "See how
green and lovely everything looks!
We should not think of serious mat
ters when nature is so quiet and beau
| tiful." T.
Shortly after, the cardinal left the
| residence for a carriage ride, accom-
panied by a large retinue Of priests
MIA of office. A trip about st. Paul
| was made, during which the cardinal
expressed great delight and pleasure.

WOULD REDUCE EXPENSE
CONSOLIDATION AND Reds.
TRICTING OF THE VOTING PRE-.
d CINCTs WOULD SAVE MONEY
FOR THE TAXPAYERS.

Reforms in the districting of the
city into voting precincts are badly
needed, judging from the returns
from the past few elections, and the
special committee of the council to
which the matter was referred will
have a big job.
Experience has shown that more
than five hundred votes can be taken
care of in an election district in one
day, but the law conservatively places
the maximum at 400. Nevertheless,
there are twelve or more districts
with less than three hundred votes.
The third and sixth wards are the
worst for pocket boroughs," the for
mer having five districts in which less
than 200 votes were cast at the last
general election, while the latter has
six such districts. The sixth ward
with a total of only 1900 votes, has
three more election districts than the
second ward with 2,S00 votes.
The average expense for each dis
trict is from $3.50 to 5000 for each
election, hence it is an expensive lux
ury to have a large number of dis
tricts. There are now 139 election
districts and this number, in the opin-
ion Of city officials, can be reduced to
100. This will make a saving Of about
$500.

SLEEPING IN THE OPEN
VAGRANT MOTHER is SOUGHT
BY OFFICERS THAT HER CHILD
MAY RECEIVE PROPER CARE.

Residents of North Minneapolis are
incensed over the treatment of a lit
tie boy by its mother. They charge
that the mother has become so de-
PRAYED that she compels the little
one to sleep with her in the woods
even in bad weather. The matter was
reported to the Humane society this
morning. An officer was sent to find
the woman in order that the child
may be placed in a good home.
For similar actions two years ago,
the woman was forced to abandon a
little girl who was taken care Of by the
society. A short time ago she OBJ
tanned custody Of the girl again and
for several weeks she has been living
with a ''pot gang" in the woods near
Keegans lake. This gang lives by
begging in the residence district. They
cook their meals over a bonfire and
when night comes they sleep where
they think there is the least possibil
ity Of their being molested.
Last night the woman and little boy
slept under the trees near the springs.
She refused to find shelter for the
child. If she can be found the child
will be taken and the woman will be
locked up on a vagrancy charge.

TIMBER CRUISER
In SHEYLIN CASE
MICHAEL KELLY FIRST WITNESS
FOR DEFENSE.
Witness Fixes Values of Property of
Crookston and st. Hilaire Conn
panies at the Time e. c. shevlin
Transferred His Stock - Alienist
Tells Of Plaintiff's Mental Condi-
ton.

Without a word of explanation or
even motion to dismiss, the defend
ant in the Shevlin VS. Shevlin action
called Michael Kelly, a timber cruiser
acquainted with the timber land
Hilaire lumber companies, to prove
the value. of the holdings Of the com
panies when Edwin Shevlin trans
ferred his stock to his brother.
Mr. Kelly has been in the lumber
business for thirty years. Referring
to a large map he explained the con-
and value of the timber. He said
that up to the time that Edwin shev-
lin had sold his shares no use was
made Of spruce, tamarack and bal
sam, altho recently large quantities
had been cut
owned by the two companies, logs on
the ground at Crookston and at st.
Hilaire in January, 1903, Kelly fixed
the value at from $3.50 to So a
thousand and of the logs at Crookston
at $3.50 thousand and at st. Hilaire
at So thousand.
This indicates that the real value
OF the two companies will be shown
and an effort made to prove that,
whether or not Edwin Shevlin was in
sane at the time Of the transfer, he
received an inadequate price for his
shares.
The closing testimony for the plaintiff
was given by DR.. George F. Roberts,
an expert alienist. .... ...
II should not like to say that at all
| times during the period beginning a
few weeks prior to the sale of this
stock until the decisions left him in

that the. plaintiff was incompetent
In fact, think it highly probable that
at times he was perfectly lucid, althc
these spells were followed by IRA
tional periods ec
In cross-examination DR.. Roberts
thought there were many times wher
the plaintiff might have been compe.
tent to transact business but that he
could not have taken charge of E
business requiring the carrying on o,
repeated transactions.

Street car traffic on the Western and

and wife occupied the street to settle a
family dispute '~..
The affair started in a backyard near
Nineteenth avenue NE, and the pair kept
up running fight until they were on the
car tracks. Here the man secured the
advantage by getting his wife by the hair
and forcing her to her F~s. The car
was almost upon them, but they refused
to get out of the way, and the only thing
for the motorman to do was to wait until
ono or the other took the country.
In order to hasten a decision, by

ear. Whereupon the woman changed
sides and gave the intruder chastising
