CONTROLLER MUST
OBEY 1903 LAW
Judge Elliott's Decision Enforces
Mandamus More Pay for
City Officials.

Judge G. B. Elliott has filed q de-
cision denying City Controller Joshua
mus secured by City Treasurer G. S.
Hubert compelling the controller to
sign warrants for the extra pay pro-
vided for the aldermen and mayor in
the law passed by the last legislature.
The decision settles the six months
dispute between the controller and the
treasurer about the constitutionality
Of the 1908 law. 1t holds the law
constitutional and forces the con-
troller to sign the warrants for the
pay Of the aldermen and mayor.
Mr.. Hubert has upheld the law and
has paid the officials upon the pay
rolls, but has refused to turn these
over to the controller until he re-
ceived the warrants which Mr.. Rogers
has refused to countersign.

POLICE EXoNERATE HIM
New York Officials Believe Murphy limo
cert of Murder.

New York Officials Believe Murphy limo
cent of Murder.
Police Superintendent Conroy has re-
ceived letter from James G.. Langam,
captain Of detectives Of New York re-
garding William P. Murphy the former
Minneapolis fireman who is held in heavy
bonds ON suspicion Of being implicated in
the death Of a Mrs. Kraemer.
Langan says that the general opinion is
about equally divided between the murder
and suicide theories. The police, however.
are convinced that the woman committed
suicide and that Murphy had no connec-
tion with her death. She had a life in
surance policy made out to her father and
on that account he and his relatives will
try to make it a case of murder. II it is
proved to be suicide the money will not be
paid
The evidence against Murphy, says
Langam, is not serious enough to warrant
his conviction. He has a good record in
New York prior to this affair and it is
thought he will be cleared altho the insur-
ance feature promises to make the tria.
a complicated one.

men who know good form in dress.
The opinion seemed to be that Ed
wards high white hat was probably a
fashion more ION the square" than his
new trousers, in spite Of their four
corners; and that the hat may re-
main in vogue long after the quad
triangular trouser legs have been for
gotten.
Charles Hoffman thinks that New
Y ork's tra-dressers may take up the
white plug hat. "Hoff" is unkind
enough to label the four-angled
trouser as absurd" daringly expreEs
ing an opinion which makes lam
guilty of '.lese majestic"
New Workers themselves sometimes
start these fads," he explained, land
altho some of them are taken up, 1t
is generally a fact that each fad falls
fiat even before the end of it's first
season. But the white hat, for full
evening dress style, is a possibility.
E. w. Goddard is another who
complimentary tones of King Ed.
wards new trousers. He, too, thinks
that two creases are plenty for ever
the garment that covers the lower ex.
tremities of king. ,,4sz
The white hat, however" says Mr.
Goddard, "has been worn before. i
was in years ago, worn considerably
creased trousers" And here God.
dard joins in the chorus with the
others who were interviewed, and says
things about King Edward which hi.
majesty would certainly think not a
all nice.
There was no wavering between
patriotism and devotion to correc
form when the subject of Edward
box-legged trousers was preached Il
Or" A. N. Walters. Without hest
tation he declared for American in
dependence in pantaloons as we'll as i,
politics, and his comments were cal
culated to make the royal ears tingle
From these remarks it was gatheret
that man-prince or a representa-
tive Of the bourge ois-was sonethin,
of a lobster who presumed that tn
masculine public would follow hin
into quadrangular neither garments.
"It might be a good thing for tn
tailor to be able to charge double 70
pressing trousers on the ground tina
twice, the number Of creases were nee
essary," said Mr.. Walters, "but
would be bad thing insthis neck o
the woods for the fellow who dare
| to wear them"

When He Was Sent Up, Mrs. Hoglund's

Christine Hoglund applied for aid at
the poor department this morning, saying
that her only boarder had thrown her out

Mrs Hoglund moved to st. Louis Park

House. met horrible death by fire in the
home of her employer Mr.. Butler, a
LAWYER of Philadelphia, where she was
managing housekeeper. Mrs. Robinson
was alone in the house and recovered con-
sciousness in the University Hospital long
enough to tell the story of the accident
which resulted in her death. She lighted
the lamp and in setting down in Morris
cloth caught her clothing and the Imp was
drawn over in her lap where it exploded.
Though her clothing was in flames, Mrs
Robinson threw some blazing rugs out the
window, then rushed to the bath room,
and turning oa the water, held her blazing
hair under the spigot until the blaze was
put out; then, thinking the ause was on
fire. rushed to the front door and gave the
alarm. NeighboIs rushed in and she told
them to ring for an ambulance; then faint
ed. She was perfectly nude, her clothing
being burned from her person. She linger-
ed till next day, when she passed away,
though in conscious interval recognizing
her daughter and telling the story Of her
horrible experience.
The funeral was in Eglington Chapel
last Sunday, and the interment there.
Mrs. Robinson was a sister of Mrs. Will
Hoffman, of Mickleton.
