A NEW SCHRAPS PROBLEM
MUCH ARGUED LICENSE QUES-
TION is BROUGHT TO THE
FRONT AGAIN.

John P: Nash today applied for a
warrant for the arrest of Charles R.
Schraps for selling liquor without a
license. Mayor D. P: Jones signed the
license yesterday afternoon, after a
conference with City Attorney Frank
Healy, and shortly afterward liquor was
served to customers from a supply in
the basement of the cafe.
. Evidence was obtained last evening
by Nash, and Judge J. H. Steele this
morning set out to make good his threat
to prosecute Mr.. Scraps for selling
liquor without license, on the ground
that the law prohibiting more than five
saloons in any single block facing the
patrol limits, was still the law, and that
the council has no righr to violate it.
Judge Steele Immediately encountered
many difficulties.
He found that the license stood in the
name Of the Schraps Catering company.
The law requires that licenses to sell
liquor shall be issued only to individuals
and not to corporations or partnerships.
The controller explained that the
! license was made out to the company
! because it was the name certified to
by the city clerk as having been grant
ed license by the city council. By
reference to the official proceedings
Judge Steele found, however, that the
resolution read, "Charles r. Schraps
I (doing business as the Cchraps Catering
company).'
There was some question as to who
should be arrested, and after some con
sultation it was decided to go after Mr.
Schraps personally.

HEARS PATH PROTEST.
Committee Listens to Cyclists and De.
ferS Action.

Nothing was done by the council s

noon with regard to the petition from
Blaisdell avenue for the elimination of
the cycle path. on that thorofare, as
neither of the aldermen from the EIGHTH
ward were present.
The wheelmen were out in force, and
with Frank H. Wadsworth as spokes-
man, indicated that they were out to
make a fight to the end of time for
the retention of all existing paths MI.
Wadsworth showed that about $4,000
had been spent on cycle paths in this
city. Every cent Of it had been Sc.
cured from the wheelmen, first, by vol
untary subscriptions and later by the
sale Of bicycle tags.
The speaker was severe on the coun
ell for. ordering the removal Of the
Fifth street path, south of Tenth ave

council. He was interrupted by Alder
men Nelson and Chatfeld, who objected

at Shingle Greek.

Ten acres of land adjoining the
workhouse tract were bought by the
board Of charities and corrections at
their meeting yesterday afternoon. The
land, which is owned by George Doug

frame building on the city hospital
grounds was sold to E. G.. TooheY for

Instructions were given to advertise
for bids for an air purifier for the city
hospital. An informal offer to equip
the building with such a system for
1915 has. been received, but cannot be
entertained.
The commissioners decided to visit
the workhouse in the near future to
investigate the improvements recon-
mended by Superintendent Frank Nc
Donald. He wants laundry building

miner improvements.

HOW TO HANDLE HAY
Dealers and Railroad Men Discuss the
- New Inspection LAW.

Dealers and Railroad Men Discuss the
New Inspection Law.
The state railroad and warehouse COM
mission gave a hearing at the capitol to-
day on the subject of the new state law
requiring the government weighing and
inspection of hay. Ks t35
The general sentiment seemed to be in
favor of having a central storage house in
each of the three large cities Of the state,
in as convenient a location as possible. for
the railroads and the hay receivers. T. J..
Lotus, as spokesman for the dealers, rec
commended a, system such as is established
at Kansas City, where there are central
storage houses, and the business is under
rules recimmended by the Commercial
club.
Some of the railroad officials present
rather favored weighing and inspection Of
hay on the sidctracks Of each road. f. D.
SeWall assistant general superintendent
of the milwaukee line, made the point that
central warehouse would frequently
cause extra expense to the shipper for
handling that would be avoided by in
spection and weighing in cars.

LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR ADMITS

Doesn't Want to See Hennepin Torn by
Battles Of Outside Candidates, and

Possible Entry.

Minneapolis in all probability will
have at least one, and possibly two, as
pirants for the governorship as soon
as the next campaign begins to warm
up. One Of these is likely to be Lieu

other, if the present rumor is to be be-

Fletcher.
Neither has made any definite an
nouncement and in either case the mat
ter of coming out as a@candidate will
depend entirely upon the clay Of the
land when the time for action comes.
Mr.. Jones, however, states that he, for
one, is out to see that Hennepin county
is not turned into a bloody battle
ground as it was last fall. He has been
out Of the city most of the time since
the legislature adjourned, and returned
