GERMAN KNOCKED OUT

plenty Of money, he decided to "make

"big ones for cents,'' and was soon
down and out. Patrolman John FERN
took him in tow and today he was in
police court for drunkenness.
He admitted the charge, but said
that there was something wrong with
American beer. 81 can drink five
times that much German, beer,' he said

AT the time Of passing of this reso-
luton all local shops had the label and

there are eight non-union shops out of
thirty, and in Others there are some,

MAYOR WILL REMAIN
FIRM, DESPITE RUMOR

There is no truth in the report that
Mayor David P. Jones will modify his
Sunday closing policy so as to permit
hotels and restaurants to serve liquor
with meals. This statement is made on
the authority of the mayor himself.
While he has been urged to make this
concession by the interests directly
concerned, he feels that such a course
would be- an admission that he made a
mistake in the enforcement Of the laws
That step was taken only after the most
careful elaboration, and the mayor is
more than ever satisfied that it was
the proper action to take and that the
majority of the people are opposed to
any concession. Personally. he has no
intention of taking any backward step,
and has never intimated that he had
any such plan in view.

THEY KNOW HOW
TO MOVE GARBAGE.
ALDERMEN LEARNED
MUCH ON THEIR TRIP.
Health and Hospitals Committee, with
Health Commissioner Hall and City
Clerk Lydiard, Return Greatly I'M
pressed With Hauling Refuse by spe-
cial Trolley Cars, as in Brooklyn.

Five weary city officials returned
today from two weeks jaunt, in
Guiding Montreal, Boston, New York,
Atlantic City, Cleveland and Chicago.
They were out to inspect methods for
transporting and destroying garbage,
particularly with reference to transpor-
tation. In the party were DR.. p. NJ.
Hall, Alderman w. F. Nye, E. C. Chat
field and j. H. Van Nest of the board
OF health. and City Clerk L. A. Lyd-
lard.
The system that captivated the pill
grlms was in Brooklyn, where the gar
bage is collected in various parts Of
the city and conveyed to incinerating
teen such stations, all in the residence
and business districts, and the work is
done in such way as to create no nui-
sance. The garbage is loaded into
large metal tanks which, when full, are
covered with canvas top, hoisteA on
a trolley car and hauled off thru the
city streets without any person except
what the car is bearing.
In Cleveland there is only one collec-
ton station, which is practically in the
heart Of the business district. At pres
ent there is some smell in the immedi-
ate vicinity of the station, but in sum
mer there is no complaint whatever, as
the place, is continuously flushed with
water and kept clean at all times. The
garbage is removed from this station
to the reduction works eight miles out
by ordinary railroad cars. By adopt
ing the Cleveland system it will be pos
sible to transport garbage to the crema-
tory on the workhouse grounds by rail
and thereby save the long and expen-
sive haulage by team. The trolley sys-
tenn, however, seems to be the most
effective, and an effort will be made
to establish a similar system in this
city. a.-
The visitors were not greatly i'm
pressed with the economic features of
the various plans for converting gar
bage into oils, fuel and other CONNER
cial products. The plans are feasible,
but not as economical as the destruc-
tion of all garbage by fire.. ~

THOMAS F. TIERNEY
MUST PAY FOR VOW

2 ~ Z 3 f.. y :
Miss Mayme Quill, an 1s-year-old Chi
cago girl, was yesterday awarded a
verdict Of $500 against Thomas F..
Tierney Of St. Paul. The defendant,
member Of prominent st. Paul com.
mission firm, did not appear to defend
himself, and after listening to the
plaintiff IS testimony, Judge Hallam or
dered Judgment for Miss Quill in
half the amount asked for.
The plaintiff testified that she had
met Mr.. Tierney early last summer
while visiting an aunt in st. Paul. She
swore that he had promised to marry
her before they had known each other
more than a few weeks, and insisted
upon her solemnly promising. that she
would be his wife. The plaintiff said
she had been made to don her bridal
raiment several times, but each time
the defendant postponed the ceremony
and finally informed her that their
marriage was not to be.

MORE ON HALF SESSIONS
Advent Of 313 New Pupils Increases
Public-School Congestion.


Minneapolis schools have an enroll
ment of 4O,748 pupils by the increase
of 313 pupils in the month of Deem
Der. This is an increase Of LAP over
the enrolment in December, 1904.
The increase in the number of chill
dren naturally swells the total of
youngsters who can only attend school
half a day. The number in this class
now reaches S62. They are divided as
follows: Clinton school. 226; Corcoran,
80; Hamilton, 18; Harris 4, 241; Long
Schiller, Is. The opening Of the new lev
Lincoln and Simmons buildings after
the holidays, will bring much relief,
but the swarm of youngsters who will
enter on the opening of the second
semester will greatly overcrowd some
Of the buildings and make the situa-
ton more acute than at present.

weather Conditions,

The storm which has been moving
along the gulf coast and up the Allan
tic coast for several days, is evidently
passing off to sea, but cloudy weather
is still reported along the Atlantic
coast and in the Ohio and lower Mis-
sissippi valleys, with light rains during
the past twenty-four hours in Alabama,
Georgia, eastern Tennessee, southern
Ohio, Virginia, Maryland and western
Pennsylvania. Clear weather prevails
in the lake region, Minnesota, Mani
toba and in the region between the Mis-
sissippi and the Rocky mountains. The
pressure conditions remain very much
as they were yesterday morning, ex-
cept for a gradual drift toward the
cast. The presence of Glow in The
extreme forth and a portion of the
"high'' which extends from the lakes
to Texas, is causing warmer weather
east of the Rockies, except in the souta
east and in Manitoba, western North
Dakota and northern Montana. No
precipitation is expected in this vicin-
ity tonight or Sunday because of tbs
northwestern "low,' and there will
be little change in temperature.

WILL TEST RULE
Attorney, Refused Admlttance to Hos
pitaI, Wants to Know Why.

Louis r. Marcean, a former employe
Of the street railway company and now
a patient at st. Barnabas hospital as
the result of a streetcar accident, will
be brought before Judge John Day Smith
next Monday on writ of habeas corpus
secured from Judge Smith today by
Ayers & Mcdonald, local attorneys. 1t
will be determined whether or not a
patient in the hospital can be visited by
attorneys that he has sent for.
It appears in the petition for writ
of habeas corpus that Marcean sent for
a lawyer but that when the attorney
went to the hospital he was refused ad-
mittance and told that he would have
to get permission from a certain physi-
clan. The attorney declined to get this
permission since the attendant said it
was not the patients dangerous condition
that prevented the lawyer from being ad-
mitted, but merely a hospital rule.
