HAYS SUCCESSOR.

Now wished to secure as John
Hays successor the man whom I re.
garded as OF all the men In the coun-
try that one best ntted to be such
successor. In asking him to accept
the position Of secretary OF State, I
was asking him to submit to n very
great pccuniary sacrifice, and 1 never
even thought OF that aspect of the
question:. for ! knew lie would not
either. knew that whatever other
onsidcrations he had to weigh for
and against taking the position, the
consideration Of how 1t would affect
his personal fortune would not be
taken into account by 1Tlihu Root, and
he has accepted.
II am not speaking of Hay and Root as
solitary exceptions. On the contrary I am
speaking of them as typical of n largo
class of men in public life.
Gwen when we hear so much criticism
OF certain aspects of our public life and
OF certain public servants. criticism which
regret to state Is in many cases de-
served II is we'll for us to remember also
the other side of the picture, to remember
that here in America we now have and
always have had at the command of the
y
the yer, best ability TO be found within
the natl ion. and that ability has been given
with the utmost freedom, given lavishly
and generously, although at great pccu-
MARY loss to the man givig IL.

SALOON is BARRED
Mound Park Citizens Object
to Proposed Opening

On the grounds that two saloons are
enough for a quiet residence district,
the citizens of Mound park, led on by
the mothers club, are making a des-
perate fight against the ab1ishment
of another thirst parlor at Earl and
Hastings avenue.
Two saloons have been there for some
time, one of them for fourteen years.
A brewery company has announced it's
intention of coming in, and a grocery
store was moved out to make place for
the saloon Although protesting against
another saloon, the main objection
seems to be that it is proposed, to
build a summer garden and bowling al
ley in connection with the saloon"' The
citizens say that one of the saloons has
wine rooms and that drunken women
are seen there.
The two saloons now hold a vantage
point in the neighborhood. One of
them is on the southeast corner and
one on the northeast corner of Earl
and Hastings avenue. The new one is
TO be on the southwest corner. lust
where the car comes around the corner
going to the mound district The peo-
pie say that it will be impossible for
them to get to and from their homes
without going by a saloon door if the
new license is granted. AS il is now
they have one side of Earl street clear.
The license will come up before the
license committee this afternoon at .
O'Clock. and large delegation bearing
protests signed by 300 citizens, will be
there to argue the case.
The Mound Park District Citizens
league was formed for the purpose of
fighting the saloon, but it will be made
permanent. A meeting was held last
night and about forty attended, there
pelng a dozen women present. The
women from the mothers club who
have worked against the new saloon
are: Mrs. William Reinhardt, Mrs. ii.

LESSFFS OF VIRGINIA
SILVER FILE ANSWERS
Make General Denial to Charges
I'm Attorney General Young's
Complaint

The answer has been filed in the Vir-
ginia silver case brought some time
ago by the attorney general to cancel
mineral lease near Duluth.
1t was alleged in the complaint that
there had been fraud in securing the
mineral lease, and certain officials con-
nected with the auditors Office during
the last administration were named.
The suit is against Mabel Evans,
George A. Finn, /. G. Patterson, Cor
yate 5. Wilson and B. +. Baker.
The answer is a general denial of the
charges, claiming that everything was
in due legal order. The case is filed
in the district court of St. Louis coun-
ty.
The attorney generals office yester-
day received payment in full for a
claim of $1.SO7.60 against Don C. John
son, 7. F. German. John Quicken and
James German of Blue Earth City.
Suit wac brought to recover for the
amount due for binding Irvine bought
last spring at the Saltwater peniten-
tiary.
The money was paid by Senator Put
nam. The claim has been made to the
state that the money was raised and
given to one of the number to pay, but
that he appropriated the proceeds to
himself. The state could not recognize
this as settling the bill, and suit was
brought three weeks ago. Atty Gen.
Young refused to divulge the name Of
the partner who was said to have been
given the money TO pay the bill.

GOVERNOR TO REST
VIII Take Short Vacation When
Legislature Adjourns

Gov. Johnson announced yesterday
that he would take a vacation shortly
after the legislature and go away for a
week or two for a needed rest Since
the legislature has been in session the
governor has scarcely had time TO eat
his meals. so constant has the demand
been on his time
While declaring that his health was
or the best, the governor looked any
thing but Well as he sat in his office
yesterday afternoon. Friends and at
taehes OF the statehouse have noticed
for the last few weeks that the strain
has been telling on him.
Il don't know of any governor so
popular with the public" said an. Off
clal yesterday. No matter how busy
ne mas been he has never failed TO come
out and meet friends when they made
call at the statehouse. This session
has been unusually trying on the ex-
ecutlve. owing to the active part the
governor has taken to look personally
after all business that affected the
state
During the short time that he has
peen in office the governor has develop
ed what his friends are pleased to term
the johnson smile" This been most
apparent when the governor is called
out of his private office to meet out of
town friends. He comes bounding out
with oustretched hand and a glad smile
that immediately wins the heart of the
visitor and makes him feel at home.

PRISONER PARDONED
Pietro ViIIella, Who Shot a St.
Paul Policeman, to Be Freed

The board of pardons has granted
freedom to Pietro Villella, an Italian
now in the Saltwater penitentiary. on
the condition that he leave the state.
The pardon is given on the ground
that the prisoner is failing rapidly in
health.
Villella was sentenced from Ramsey
county June u, 1903, for four years
on the charge OF assault in the second
degree He was convicted Of shooting
st. Paul policeman. County Attorney
Thomas Z. Kane recommended Glenn
ency.
The case of Villella. as presented to
the board of pardons at the last meet
ing. was very pathetic. 1t was never
proved exactly that the Italian did the
shooting. but he was shown to have
been in the saloon a short time before
the deed was done.
Letters from the parents in Italy
asking for the pardon of the son were
read to the board. 1t was represented
that the old couple were in destitute
circumstances. Villella had always
sent a remittance home before he was
convicted of the crime, and the old
couple were paying off an encumbrance
on their homestead. When the money
ceased to come from America the
homestead had to be sold over their
heads.
A half brother of Villella, now i'm ST.
Paul, has agreed to furnish transpor-
tation to the released prisoner, and he
will leave shortly for his old home.

CASES TO BE PUSHED
Young to Attempt Collections
for Timber Trespass

Gov. Johnson and Atty. Gen. Young
are much gratified at the action of the
Legislature yesterday in passing the
bill providing for an increase in the
attorney generals office. Much work
which has been pressing upon the office
has been delayed on account of the in
sufficient force.
Il am glad TO sign that BILL remark
ed the governor as he affixed his Off
cial signature. Il am in favor of the
policy of making a public office suffi-
cient to the needs of the work. j am
glad that the legislature has seen fit
to make the salaries of the assistants
such as will attract a high class of le-
gal talent.
ATTY. Gen. Young has needed an in
crease in his Office" continued the
governor. There are a number of
cases pending that demand attention.
1t was this need which caused me to
give my approval of this bill before it
went to the Legislature. The cases viii
now be pushed as rapidly as possible"
The cases which the governor re-
ferred to are number pending against
lumber companies and others for tres
pass The attorney general wished to
take them up some time ago, but after
comforting with the governor con-
cluded to wait to see if the legislature
would grant the increase in the force
The new bill grants a third assistant.
The salary is also raised from $1,000 to
$4,000 year. A clerk at $1,000 a year

rapher to assist him in the office work

DECLARES IDEA OLD
Circuit Court Says Endless
Chain Is Not Invention

The circuit court of appeals handed
down two decisions yesterday affirming
the judgment of the lower court in each
case.
In the Minnesota case of James NAL
lon and James w. Bradley against
William c. Gregg & Co, the plaintiffs
sought to enjoin defendant from max
ing use of a certain appliance which
was claimed to be an infringement
upon the patent secured by plaintiffs.
1t was alleged in the complaint that
the defendant company was making
use of a patent device for the unload
ing of sugar cane from cars in Hawaii,
which is practical copy Of a device
previously patented by plaintiffs.
The written opinion of the court as
given by Judge Sanborn holds that the
application of an old device to new use
is no invention unless the new use is
remote from the old. The conception OF
the application of an endless chain to
new use of taking sugar cane from
car is not an invention.
While the court found that the NAL
lon patent was new in some respects,
yet in those particular points the Gregg
device did not infringe, and that an
endless chain continuance could not be
called an invention as it was an old
idea.
The other decision was an Arkansas
case wherein the board of Improvement
of Helena, Ark. sued George Guild
ct al. to recover damages through fail
,ure to construct a sewer according to
specifications.
The defendants set up the defense
that the sewer had been inspected by
the engineer and approved as specified
In the contract, and that they were en-
titled to full contract price, for which
they put in a counterclaim.
In his charge to the jury in the trial OF
the case the judge instructed that if ii
was found that collision existed be-
tween the defendant contractors and
the engineer, and that the work had
not been properly done that a verdict
should be rendered for the plaintiff.
The jury accordingly returned a YER
diet for the plaintiffs and from this de-
PENDANTS appealed. The court of ap-
peals sustained the judgment of the
lower court on the ground that there
was evidence that the sewer was i'm
properly constructed and could not be
used for the purpose for which il was
built, and that the engineer should
have known it as we'll as the contract
ors.

emily we'll educated and was well
dressed. The other was a full blooded
negro. feet inches tall and was
about 80 years old.
Advices from Fargo last night stated
that two negroes answering the de-
scription sent out from Little Falls had
been arrested by Chief of Police Cow
land. They were held pending the ar
rival of the Minnesota officers.
A dispatch from Little Falls stated
that Sheriff Tanner of Morrison county
had left for Fargo to look at the men
held there. Otis st. Dennis, a farmer
who saw the two negroes the Saturday
before the murder was committed
went with him to identify the men. If
st. Dennis Identifies them as the men
he saw near Little Falls, the sheriff
Will ask for requisition papers and
bring them back to Minnesota.
The sheriff will meet with a warm
reception should he bring the negroes
to Little Falls. The murdered girl was
well known there, and public feeling
runs high. Talk of lynching is heard
in the streets, and the presence of the
negroes might infiame the public so
that the officers would be unable to re-
strain them.
The coroner's inquest was held yes
terday afternoon over the remains at
Little Falls. The body was horribly
bruised and mutilated. Death was de-
clared to have been due first to stran-
gulation and to a blow on the head with
sharp instrument One blow had
penetrated the brain and must have
caused instant death.

LIGHTING FRANCHISE

Assembly Committee Refuses to Con-
cur in Action of Aldermen

3 The committee on streets of the as
sembly announced yesterday that it
was not as yet prepared to concur in
the action of the board of aldermen in
the matter Of granting a franchise to
the, 81 Union Manufacturing company.
Action was accordingly postponed for
two weeks.
When the matter came up before
the committee for consideration As
semblyman Whitcomb moved that
copy of the franchise be furnished to
each member of the committee and that
it be laid over for one month. z. c.
Stringer, attorney for the company
objected to such a delay. The matter
has been before the board OF aldermen
for several months" he said. Il do not
know what reason can exist for delay
ingr.it another month. 1t has been re-
yised by the aldermen and the cor
poration attorney. II would seem to
me that in justice to the corporation
seeking a franchise that 1t should re-
cejye action at once, or at as early a
date as possible"
Mr.. Gille of the St. Paul Gas Light
company asked for a delay that Mr.
Butler might appear before the COM
mittee. Assemblyman Keller moved
that the matter be laid over until the
first meeting in May, and that the in
terested parties then appear before the
committee and thresh the matter out
This motion was carried.

cover the best system for the free en-
ployment bureau. made possible by the
passage of the bin in the senate yes
terday. The bill carries an appropria-
ton of $1,75O a year available after

the money is available" said the COM
missioner. "but We can begin studying

ments until / have determined just ex-
actly what will be done"
The commissioner. expects to examine
the systems in vogue in other cities.
The office at Kansas City is said to be
one Of the best in the country, and the
commissioner will probably go there to
make an inspection. This measure is
one upon which the commissioner had
set his heart, and he is much gratified
that 1t passed. The Office will be es-
tablished either in st. Paul or Minneap-
oils.
