NOCAUSE
FOR ALARM
Say Levee Board Officers About River
Bank Caving
DISCUSSED AT LEvEE
BOARD MEETING
City Sewerage Pipes Blamed for the
Caving and The Matter Will be
Remedied as Soon as Possible

A meeting Of the Levee Board was
held on Thursday morning and the
caving Of the bank in front of the city
was fully discussed.
Capt. A. Hider, the chief engineer
of the Government, when asked by
President Atterbury as to his opinion
about the matter, said that at present
he did not thinkthere was really any
cause for alarm, and that he thought
the caving would extend hat few feet
further and that he believed it was
caused from the sewer pipe which ex-
tends into the river at this point. En-
gineers, he informed the Board, were
then at work taking the soundings and
until they had finished he ccould not
say just the exact amount of caving
done.
Mayor Yerger differed with Capt.
Hider as to the cause of the caving
and substantiated his statement by re-
ferring to other cavings along the
river near the city where no sewer
pipes had been discharged,
Mr.. Yerger assured the Board that
it was the purpose of the city to coop
crate with them in every way in pro-
tecting the river front, even so far as
to the stopping Of the sewerage.
Capt Hider said he did not think
this necessary and said the pipes
could be put in so that it would not at
feet the mattress OF our levees. The
Mayor then told Mr. Hider that if he
would direct the work the city would
furnish the pipe and the men. 1t was
also agreed between Mr. Hider and
The Mayor to remove the pipes to a
point he. (Hider) shdlld designate;
that the pumping of ths. sewerage
could continue and there W, I'D be no
need of stopping it or inconvenience
ing the city.
President Atterbury then told the
Mayor that the Board objected to

Public Health Committee Rec.
Ommends Civil Service Rule

The house committee on public health
yesterday agreed to the provisions of
a bill placing the state dairy and food
department under civil service sys-
tenn. A subcommittee, consisting of ].
H. Morley. Karl De Laittre and Henry
McColl, reported substitute for the
Morley and De Laittre bills. The new
bin. which will be presented to the
house asa committee measure, requires
inspectors of the dairy and food de-
partment to pass competitive exam
ination to determine their fitness.
A board consisting of the dairy and
food commissioner, the dean of the
state agricultural college and the at
torney general, is to conduct the exam
nations. The first examination is to
be held the second Monday in January,
1907. Mr.. McColl attempted to make
the first examination the first Monday
in December. 1906, but was unsuccess-
ful. He argued that a change in the
gubernatorial administration might de-
feat the purposes of the law by naming
a new force between the time of the as
sumption Of office by the new governor
and the date of the first examination.
He was outyoted in. the committee and
the first examination will be held in
January, 1907.ssE. X Slater, dairy and
food commissioner, is said to be in
hearty sympathy with the proposed law.

NOLAN BILL SAVED
FROM COMMITTEE
House Despite Unfavorable
Recommendation Puts Meas
ure on General Orders


The house yesterday overturned its
railroad committee and put the Nolan
reciprocal demurrage bill on general
orders. At the same time that IL re-
jected the majority report agreed to by
the committee Thursday, recommend
ing the Nolan bill for indefinite post
ponement, it refused to accept the
Hugo substitute reported by thet COM
mittee.
When the friends of the Nolan bill
had concluded a half hours argument
for the bill, they succeeded in moving
the previous question. The result was
to shut off consideration of the Hugo
bill. 1t was not read, and its contents
were a sealed book to the house. The
Nolan bill was made a special. order
for next Wednesday at o'clock.
The house went under a call of the
house yesterday morning when the or
der of reports OF committees was
reached, and the majority report was
presented by Chairman w. II. Putnam
of Red Wing. 1t was accompanied by
the Hugo substitute. The Hugo bill
declares that all demurrage, car rental
and trackage rules shall be reasonable
and shall be prescribed by printed
rules by the commission. 1t is made
the duty of the railroads to furnish
cars within a reasonable time after re-
quests are made, and railroads are
made to move cars forward 70 their
destination with all possible dispatch.
The minority report, agreeing to the
terms of the Nolan bill, was signed by

JOHNSON is WILD
Hennepin Member Makes Dire
Threats i'm House

Pent up feelings found expression in
a savage attack on the managers of the
revised code in the house yesterday by
date for speaker.
I'VE will prevent vote on this code"
shouted Johnson, as he shook his fist
in dangerous proximity to Chairman
w. B. Anderson's nose. IT will stay
here and talk the bill to death. / will
stay here and filibuster until the jun
ket leaves for Red Wing" Mr.. Johnson
was laboring under intense mental ex-
citement. His form shook with passion,
and he was almost past control. Friends
gathered about him and succeeded in
removing him from the house chamber
Two hours later Mr.. Johnson calmly
voted for the code, while admitting in
joking tones that he had made quite a
roar" earlier in the day.
The Minneapolis member had griev-
ance against the code managers. His
pet lien amendment, after being de-
bated for two hours had been de-
feated Thursday and a motion to re-
consider had met the same fate yes
terday- He had planned to 60 on a
junket with the training school COM
mittee to the Red Wing school yester-
day afternoon. Chairman Anderson had
given notice that at 2:15 he would
move to put the code on its final pas
sage. An attempt to force a vote be-
fore luncheon had failed, and the de-
cision Of the judiciary committee, back
ed by a majority of the house, pre-
vented the junket.
The house had adjourned at / until 2
o'clock, when the outbreak took place
Rushing up to a group of members
near the speakers desk, Johnson as
sailed Anderson as a dictator and
threatened to defeat the code. Speaker
Clague interposed, but 1t was some
minutes before the enraged man was
pacified. The incident created a mark
ed sensation among the house members.
