MAYOR IS HOME. AGAIN
STUDIED MUNICIPAL POLICIES OF
COAST CITIES WHILE ON WEST
ERN TRIP. . $685..

Mayor David P. Jones is in the har-
ness again, after fortnight 8 trip to
the Pacific coast, where he did little
sightseeing, but considerable investiga-
tion. He has always been student of
municipal subjects, and found much to
study in Portland, Tacoma and Seattle.
"These places make no attempt to
close the saloons on Sunday, and as
far as could hear, there was no par
ticular demand for any such regula-
tion from the citizens" said Mayor
Jones today. GAS far as. I could OBJ
serve, Sunday was an orderly day in
the larger cities of the coast.
Mayor Jones said, in explanation of
the campaign against the presence Of
women in saloons, that the administra-
tion frankly admitted that a woman
has as much right to go into saloon as
man, but the law prohibited the pres
ence of notorious women in places
where liquor was sold, and the present
campaign, like the wineroom campaign,
was directed solely against immoral wo-
men. 1~.4- -. u IN.

MAY CUT EIGHT
MILLS ESTIMATE
TAxrLEvY BOARD WILL CoNsID-
Err SCHOOL RATE.
Not Having Any Figures from State
Board Of Equalization, the Board
Gould Do Nothing This Morning but
Study Estimates, Which Present the
Usual Problem.

Not having any figures from the
state board Of equalization as to what
the valuation for Minneapolis and
Hennepin county will be this year, the
members of the board of tax levy could
do nothing today except study the esti-
mates.
The problem is about as big as usual.
The school board and the permanent
improvements are making unusual do
mands, but otherwise the estimates are
about as expected. The valuation does
not grow in proportion to the school
population and fer this ! reason the
ask for higher tax levy. Last year
the schools had $50 mills and this year,
unuless there is q raise in the valua-
tion by the state board Of equaliza-
tion, the board will ask for mills. This
will care for the increase OF about fifty
new teachers and about twenty-fv ad-
ditional rooms to care for the tremen-
dous growth Of the school population.
The board Las not completed it's esti-
mates, however, but will meet this even
ing to take final action and may decide
to cut the 8 mills estimate, which. if
allowed, will seriously interfere with
other departments and raise the rate
above the 80 mill mark, which has been
recognized as the maximum beyond
which no board Of tax levy, with due
regard for economy, would go.
The morning was spent in discussing
the county estimate, which is $282,000,
as compared with $244,OO0 appropriated
for this year. Of the increase, $4,000
is for elections, $4,000 additional for
county roads and bridges, and 5000 for
the building commission expense. Coun-
ty Surveyor George w. Cooley explained
to the board why it was necessary to
spend $4,000 on lake improvements.
| There were 450 launches On Lake Min
netonka. The lake was full of danger
GUS reefs, which should be removed, as
| it was impossible for anyone except the
professional steamboat men who were
on the lake all the time to know where
all were. Moreover, it was quite nee
essary to keep open the shallow chan
nels connecting the many bays and
arms. The dredge boat and grass cut
ter had done splendid. work and the
people about the lake were highly
pleased. 81 ..z... -.

affairs committee of the Commercial
club, was an interested spectators at
the meeting, but had nothing to say on

APOSTLE OF ARSENIC /.

The medical journals are giving atten-
tion to DR.. Reginald Leach Of St. Paul,
apostle Of Arsenic as preventive Of
yellow fever. American Medicine for
Sept. 20 refers to the doctor in no very
complimentary terms. Under an edi-
torial headed "The arsenic Craze in
New Orleans,'' it speaks Of his "empty

the public ear and bred popular in

PAL s CONFESSION
MAY SET HIM FREE
GEORGE JOHNSTON CoNFEssEs
CRIME CHARGED TO LINDBERG.
The Later Was Last Week Convicted Of
ROBBERY but Johnston Says His Friend
Had Nothing to Do With It-He
Comes Into Court and Pleads Guilty.

George A.. Johnston, by plea Of
guilty and full confession made in
Judge F. G. Brooks court today, in
sured his service Of a long term in the
penitentiary. More than that, he prob
ably saved his frined, Frank Lind
berg, convicted of robbery in the first
degree, from similar fate, and accused
Claud Peck of "a share in the crime.
Johnston and Lindberg was indicted
jointly for beating and robbing Henry
Durston in the Minnesota House. Lind
berg was tried last week, and in spite
of hmis consistent assertions Of inno-
cence and his introduction Of evidence
tending to prove a plausible alibi, he
was found guilty. Johnston was placed
on trial Friday and a. jury partially
empaneled.
This morning Johnston called his
the Hennepin county jail and said:
81 want to plead guilty and want
to tel! the whole story I helped do
no more to do with it than you did.
The man who planned the .holdup and
did most of the work was Claud Peck.
l haven't been able to sleep wink
since Lindberg was convicted, and, as
long as l thought an innocent man was
going to suffer for someone else IS
L never could.' " .ys - ..-1s
Mr.. Bond was as much surprised
as anyone for he had built up what
his client on his story of the night
the. crime was committed. He, how.
ever, commended the prisoner g decis-
ion and when. Judge Brooks took the
bench he announced that Johnston
wanted to plead guilty and to inform
the court as to the real facts.
Johnston repeated what he had said
surprise. He was taken back to his
ferences since then. There will un-
doubtedlY be motion for new trial
| IN the Lindberg case made on the
ground of newly discovered evidence.
This will be granted and if Johnston s
statements can be substantiated Lind.
he will be set free. ..
Peck, who was arrested Saturday
night on the charge Of robbing Sid
dall>s store, was much incensed when
he was told of Johnston s accusation
He Indignantly denied that he had hao
anything to do with the robbery OF
Durston and said that Johnston 4
statement was due to spite. 20.
Lindberg was proportionately
pleased and remarked: II knew i
woul dali come out right in some way
but it did look pretty dark for me
for a while. I am not guilty and ]
didn It believe that in this day ant
age they would send man. ohe pen
tentiary who did not deserve it. MY
record WASH It very good and that was
what made, the jury bring in a verdict
of guilty. ~ 5-.. =
Durston still insists that Lindbers
is the man, who helped rob him. HI
swore positively on the stand as tt
Lindberg's Identification and he say!
now that he cannot be mistaken. 1t il
suggested by Johnston, however, tha
! Durston was not sober at the time ant
is evidently mistaken in the men.
