TELLS CONDITIONS
IN PROVERB CONTEST
Manager of Undertaking An
swers Questions of Inter.
eSted Competitors

Questions are beginning to arrive
with such volume in the office of T h e
G o b e relative to the conditions gov
erning the proverb contest inaugurated
one week ago today, that hereafter a
regular space in the paper will be de-
voted to brief and conclusive answers
to all questions.
1t has been the aim of the manager
of the proverb contest to make the con-
ditions governing the contest very
plain in every printed announcement,
but with many people some of the i'm
portant points are a little hazy and
they are writing for information.
And ii is well that they are writing.
good old maxim to be governed by
in this contest is: BE sure you're
right and then go ahead
1t would be very discouraging for
any person TO work conscientiously
upon the proverb pictures each day.
solve every picture right and then find
himself barred from a principal prize
through some mistake which a simple
letter of inquiry might have done away
with i'm the very beginning.
The contest is young yet. If there
is any point governing the contest
which is still dark i'm the mind of any
reader of this paper. T he Glob e
wants to enlighten that reader before
il is too late. Here are sample letters,
picked from among many received:

REFUSES TO PAY UP
Street Car Company Ruins Hose
of Fire Department

AT recent fire at Rice street and
University avenue a section of hose
was run over by a street car and de-
stroyed. The street car company was
notified Of the matter by the fire COM
missioners and requested to replace the
sections.
Yesterday the board received a let
ter from the claim agent of the car
company. denying the responsibility of
the company for the ruined section of
hose, and further stating that the COM
pany did not consider that they were
Obliged TO pay for the hose.
The letter caused great indignation
among the members of the board and
IL was decided to present a bill to the
street car company, covering the cost
OF a new section of hose. If the COM
pany then refuses to replace the sec
tion, the fire commissioners will place
the matter in the hands of the city at
torney. 1t is expected, however. that
the car company will pay up when it is
seen that the fire board means business

Doyle Visits O'Connor
James G. Doyle. superintendent of the
Minneapolis police force. was in St Paul
last night and was in close conference
with Chief O'Connor for over an hour.
The conference concluded, the two chiefs
left the station together and thus far no
statement has been given out as to the
nature of the business which brought
Chief Doyle to ST. Paul. although il is
not believed that he came to lend any
assistance in the murder case. but rather
came to secure aid in solving a mystery
in his own town, that of the shooting OF
Fred Roggatz.
Roggatz was shot and seriously wound
ed during bold early evening holdup of
DIR. Mueller, Mill City physician. The
holdup occurred in front of the doctors
residence and. although the holdup men
made good their escape Chief Doyle and
his sleuths have ever cherished an idea
that the criminals have made a refuge
of st. Paul and the visit last evening by
Chief Doyle was the climax TO a long line
of calls through which the city has been
honored by the plain clothes men of the
Mill City.

HUMANE SOCIETY
EXPECTS STATE AID
Bill Providing for State Bureau
to Be introduced in
Legislature

AL the annual meeting of the Mime
sofa State Humane society, held aft
the Relief society rooms, 141 East
Ninth street, yesterday afternoon. il
was decided to postpone the election of
officers until a bill presented by the
society to the legislature is acted upon.
The bill provides that the state hu-
name society be made a state bureau
and also asks for a yearly appropria-
ton of $4,000. A provision of the bill
Is to the effect that if the humane So
ciety be made a state bureau, the gov
ernor of the state. the attorney GEN
eral and the state superintendent Of
public instruction are to be members
of the board of directors, and for this
reason the election of officers was post
poned until the bill is decided on.
President d. r. Noyes read a paper
dwelling on the good work accomplish
ed by the society," and said the state
organization was growing rapidly. A
new society at Alexandria has recently
been organized with a membership of
fifty, and two or three towns in the
northern part Of the state are consid-
ering the forming of societies.
The report of the secretary, S. J. Fu-
gate showed that during the year thir-
ty-one cases had come to the attention
of the state organization, which acts
independently of the local societies
and only handles such cases as are
out of their jurisdiction. Only two
cases of extreme cruelty were reported
and in both cases the offenders were
arrested and punished. A great deal
of good was accomplished by sending
out cards of warning, and posters es-
pecially, along the country roads. The
reports of the local societies of the
state, fourteen in all, were read and ia
VOrably received

left by Mrs. Kenny's sister should be

A. Roburn Almost Topples Over
Gallery Rail at New

Recovering from >fainting spell in

photograph, Andrew Roburn, living on
West Seventh street, had a narrow
escape yesterday from pitching head
foremost from the house gallery of the
capitol to the floor of the chamber be-

Roburn entered the gallery just be-

seat in the balcony. Scarcely had he
seated himself when the flash followed,
and the chamber was filled with a dense
smoke

Patrick Rafferty,, the gallery keeper,
found the man lying on the floor. DR..
T. c. Fulton, a member of the house,
was summoned, but when he reached
the man he was standing up. Rafferty,
had assisted him to his feet and think
ing he had fully recovered, started to
leave him.
Turning suddenly, he saw the weak
man falling headlong over the railing
that protects the public from the edge
of the balcony. He caught Roburn

1t was explained that the visitor had
taken a seat in the balcony without
noticing the preparations for the flash

warning. With q mind filed with news

struction wrought by the bomb throw
ers in public places in Russia, his
nerves succumbed to the shock. He
was able to leave the capitol and go
to his home half hour later without
