Anarchy Reigns Supreme.
4:5O p. m.-Shortly after noon an untimed
dispatch was received here reporting that
complete anarchy reigned at Odessa. The
Inhabitants were panic-stricken and were
hudded together in the houses. The streets
were filled with frenzied workmen fighting
the troops. The warehouses. quays and
some of the shipping in the harbor were
! in flames. The correspondent of the Asso-

had to make his way to the telegraph Office
through dense smoke, which covered the
city like a pail. He heard volleys every
| few minutes In the darkness the mob
was beginning the work OF pilage and
plunder, indicating that the dispatch was
! filed last night, but was delayed by the
authorities. The correspondent added that
bluejackets, with machine guns had been
landed from the battleship Kniaz Potem-
kline, which is in the hands of the mutt
neers, and then fought with the strikers
behind barricades against the troops. Hun

Howell Outlines His History.

At the afternoon session the complaining
witness took the stand. on request OF the
county attorney he outlined his history.
Born at Adrian, Mich, where his father
was on the bench at one time, he went from
there TO Annapolis In 1881 and was grad
uated in 1885. He served in the navy until
1887 when he resigned. Coming west In
1883 he took a position with the American
waterworks company of Chicago, which
then controlled the Omaha waterworks. In
1883 he resigned and took up the profession
OF a civil engineer. Before this he had been
state engineer and secretary OF the State
Irrigation board. In January, 1896, he was

on the charge that he had gone east and
made application to get into the service OF
the water company. Howell admitted he
had applied for the position of manager
of the water works while holding the Job
of city engineer.
Here counsel sought to bring in the rec
ord of the investigation as the basis for
Mr.. Rosewater's striqtures against Howell
as a candidate for the place he holds. The
state resisted and Judge Day was inclined
to hold the objection well taken, on the
ground that 1t was not proper cross-exam-
ination. Mr. Cornell insisted on his right
to bring in the record and argued the mat
ter at length, qrpting from the bill of
rights the section Governing freedom OF the
press and some other authorities. The
court said he would consider the matter
over night, and CSnnell went back to the
articles in the PAPER of November T. Mr..
Howell had read them all. he said, except
an article with big head over 1t CIV

WANTS A SMOKE SLEUTH
THE HEALTH COMMISSIONER BE-
LIEVES A SPECIAL INSPECTOR
SHOULD BE EMPLOYED. :

An important conference on the
smoke nuisance was held in the mayor g
reception room yesterday afternoon. It
was called by the mayor and was at
tended by representatives Of the Real
Estate board, the Commercial Club and
the city. Mayor Jones introduced the
subject and asked B. F. Nelson to pre-
side. In the discussion it was evil
dent that all present were in earnest
in their efforts to prevent the smoke
nuisance, tho counseling conservative
action. The only person who stirred up
and feeling was Ralph Boardman, who
wound up his speech with the declara-
tion that the smoke nuisance could be
that DR.. Hall was not the man to do it..
DR.. Hall flushed slightly and Walter
Eggleston FASTENED to- assure, the meet
ing that Mr.. Boardman did not repre-
sent the views Of the Real Estate board
in this particular at least. H..
DR.. Hall, when his turn came, de-
clared, however, that he agreed with
Mr.. Boardman that he was not the man
to do it, and suggested that his expert
ence with the question showed him
the trouble and the remedy. The trou-
BILE he thought lay in the fact that
plants were not differentiated under the
law. Hlgn pressure steam plants, run
ming large Industries, had to make
smoke, but they were under the same
ban as heating plants that need not
He suggested that an ordinance be
drawn. and smoke inspector who
should be a practical engineer should
be appointed who would be able to take
up the smoke nuisance with each Of
Tending plant and help them work out
plans to reduce It.
This idea commended itself to the
meeting and the chairman was author
lied to appoint committee to draw
such an ordinance. .-~-.s
Mr.. Nelson this morning appointed
Walter Eggleston, Wallace G. Nye and
James F. Porteous as the committee.
The meeting also favored an amend
ment to the building ordinance giving
the building inspector power to re-
wise the plans Of new buildings as to
steam and heating plants. The testi-
nony of the practical men at the meet
ing was to the effect that dense black
smoke is largely the result of INSULT
cient furnace and boiler capacity. The
overworked plant, under tremendous
draft, forces the carbon oxides up the
chimney instead Of furnishing enough
heat to ignite them.

SISTER SEEKS REWARD
FOR BROTHERS. CAPTURE

A sister seeking to obtain the pay
ment of a bounty for aiding in the ar
rest and conviction of her brother for
horse stealing, was the unusual spec
tacle in Judge Brill g court at st. Paul
today.
The matter came up in the form Of
an application on the part Of Mrs. Ada
F. Bontecou, 3945 Blaisdel avenue,
Minneapolis, for the 5000 bounty pro
vided by the state. She is the sister
of Albert Ewing, recently convicted
of horse stealing in Ramsey county and
sentenced to the penitentiary.
One afternoon last summer Ewing
drove up to the home of his sister in
Minneapolis. Mrs. Bontecou was aware
that her brother never owned a horse
and she questioned him as to where
he obtained the animal. Ewing gave
an evasive reply. The sister informed
Policeman Bean. 1t turned out that
Ewing had stolen horse at St. Paul.
On the information given by his sis
ter, Ewing was convicted. At the time
Mrs. Bontecou knew nothing of the
bounty law. County Attorney Kane
offered no objection to the application,
which he says should be allowed if the
arrest and conviction grew out of the
information obtained from Mrs. Bon
tecou. Judge Brill took the matter I'M
der advisement.

OFFICERS AT VARIANCE
LIEUTENANT A. F. PRAY ACCUSES
CAPTAIN O. q. BENNETT OF UN-
GENTLEMANLY CONDUCT.

Bitter personal warfare between two
Minneapolis officers of the National
guard is the cause of hearing to be
held by the board of inquiry OF the
guard at the capitol, Monday after
noon.
The adjutant general has refused to
divulge the nature Of the quarrel, but
the facts have leaked out.
Captain @. G. Bennett of battery A:
has been accused by Lieutenant "A. T.
Pray Of "conduct unbecoming an OIL
cor and a gentleman: Behind this
stereotyped formula lies q story. Cap
tain Bennett is said to be popul ar with
portion of his command. Last spring
a movement was started among the jun
Tor officers and men to force him to
resign.
Bennett heard Of it in time to head
it off, and learned also that Pray was
connected with the movement. Ben
nett is said to have delivered his opin'
ion of Pray in language that military
courtesy and polite intercourse in gen.
eral have strictly tabooed.
This alleged reproof, averred to have
been accompanied with the liberal use
of epithets that the military code does
not authorize when a superior repri
mands inferior, is the basis of the
charges before the board of inquiry.

PARK BOARDS WORK
Review by President A. S. Adams-Ne,
Officers lake Hold.

REVIEW by President A. S. Adams-NeW
Officers Take Hold:
The new officers of the park board took
up their work today. When the board met
the retiring president, "A. S. Adams, spoke
to the members, officially reporting to
them the results Of the election, and re-
viewing the work of the board in 1904.
He was pleased to note, he said. that
the year had ended with a small balance
to the credit of the board. notwithstanding
the fact that 1t was one of the most active
years in its history. The most important
acquisition was that of the tract known
as The Parade, bounded by Kenwood
boulevard and Erie. Lyndale and Hum
boldt avenues. The cost to the city, ex-
elusive of the donations of Thomas Lowry,
W. H. Dunwoody and Security bank, was
SlO9.279. The expense Of grading and
seeding, about $1,000, was betrayed by
Mr.. Lowry
Other acquisitions described by Mr.. Ad-
ans were the Richard Chute square, on
the East side; the Eighth Ward park;
two blocks in the Minnehaha district: a
triangle on the st. Anthony parkway, and
a few small pieces on the Minnehaha
parkway.
improvements during the year cost $4S,
067. The largest items were the pavilion
and a new roadway, the upper drive, at
Harriet; permanent improvements in Lyp-
dale park, and further improvements OF
the West Riverside park and driveway.
