South st. Paul Council to Con-
slider Resolution

Willard J. Held. general manager of
the Twin City Rapid Transit COM
pany, accompanied by l.. II. Sullivan,
one of the company solicitors, and
George Wilson, a civil engineer, were
in South St. Paul Saturday for the
purpose of looking over the ground to
discover the best route for a branch
line to that place.
At meeting of the city council OF
South St Paul two weeks ago Aid.
McConnon gave notice that he
intended to introduce a resolution at
the next meeting giving the company
city, and the matter will come up at
the meeting of the council this even
ing. Mr.. Sullivan will represent the
street car company at the meeting.
1t is believed by the citizens of
South st. Paul that there is little hope
of the company building a line to
their city unless the company's DIFF
ferences with the city Of ST. Paul, no.
tably the gross earnings tax, are set
tied in satisfactory manner to the
city council of ST. Paul, as without the
permission of the council the company
cannot build a line to South ST. Paul.
A number of property holders want
the line built west of Concord street
and over the bluff, thus increasing the
value of the hill property, but it is
doubtful if the company will accede to
this request, as the construction of
the line over the bluff would require
an immense amount of grading.

particular phase Of the question at
this time further than to say that their
presence in those places is not caused
by education; that education did not
send them there.
Is Chance for coIored Boy
'It is often said that there is no
chance for a colored boy to use an
education and that it is useless to put
him through school for the door of op-
portunity in that direction is closed
against him. This is not so. We are
constrained to believe it is true some
times when we see a number of our
boys who are prepared for better
thlngs and have not yet obtained them.
We should not be discouraged by this,
Tor many white boys, too, are not re-
celVlng the full measure of their
worth. To me there is consolation in
the fact that we are filing better and
more. positions today than ever before,
and there is no reason to believe that
we cannot increase the number.
Education does not end with the
graduation exercises, neither is it com
piete in roll of parchment bound
with silken ribbon. We have started
out in life when the door of the COL
lege has closed on us for the last time.
Then we should seek out some line of
industry and devote ourselves assid-
uouSly to 1T, remembering that we
must start in at the bottom and that
our schooling is merely a means of
assistance in learning a business. that
we are entitled to nothing because we
are educated but rather because we
know something in which direction we
may apply our education. 1t is nv
belief that as we receive education. ac-
qulre business knowledge and learn
trades, in the same proportion will the
value OF the race increase as an eco
nom1c factor in this country.
Obstacles Are Encountered
The negro boy who attempts to
rise above the common level encoun-
ters obstacles and discouragements
that are little. known to the boys of
the more favored race. When a white
boy undertakes a task it is taken for
granted he will succeed. On the other
hand people are unusually surprised
II the negro boy does not fail.
In word, the negro youth starts
out with the presumption against him.
and that is serious handicap, but it
can be Surmounted by work, study and
perseverance. Success in life is to be
measured not so much by the position
that one has reached in life as by the
obstacles he has overcome in his strug-
giles with the world. Let the obstacles
and discouragements serve as spurs
and cause us to press onward and up
ward, step by step, upon the ladder of
success. We can do it. Those who are
trying it are doing it. Every perse-
cuted individual and race should get
much consolation out of the great hu-
man law, which is universal and eter-
nal, that merit, no matter under what
skin found, is in the long run recog-
nized and rewarded. We can win
merit by work and by study, and we
will demonstrate that our work is mer-
itorious through the knowledge that
we have gained thereby"

JACS ARE NUMEROUS
Down Town Patroimen Send
Many to Station

Apparently all the drunks in the
city Saturday night congregated in
the vicinity of the central station and
were nabbed by the patrolmen as fast
as they appeared. Seven were booked
at the central during the night, while
no arrests were made during the entire
night at any of the substations.
A negro was the first victim to fall
into the clutches of the law, but was
SO drunk he did not realize what was
going on. He was followed a few
hours later by two boys who had i'm
bibed so deeply the police were
obliged to carry them into a cell on
stretcher. A few minutes later
woman was brought in, turned over
to the matron and the charge of drunk
entered after her name.

were escorted into the presence of the
desk sergeant. The young "rounder"
had not been given quite enough time
to spend his money, for fishing in his
pocket he drew forth roll that made
the sergeant gasp for breath, and after
paying bail for himself and compan-
ions took his departure.

EDTHROUGRAlR
Boy on Coasting Hill Is Struck
by Bob

A serious coasting accident occurred
on the Eagle street hill yesterday aft
ernoon when August Lunkenheimer,
aged fourteen, was struck by a large
bobsled that was coming at high
speed down the hill
The heavy snow has made excellent
coasting and the hill was crowded
with sleds of all varieties during the
afternoon. Young Lunkenheimer was
standing at the foot of the hill with a
number of friends throwing snowballs
at the coasters as they shot by and
was SO absorbed in the sport that he
did not notice one of the largest sleds
on the hill coming directly toward him.
The boy in charge of the sled thought
that Lunkenheimer would step out of
the way and did not attempt to avoid
him until too late, and the heavy bob
struck him fairly, hurting him ten feet
to the side of the road
When picked up by his terrified
companions young Lunkenheimer was
unconscious and the blood was flowing
from a cut in his head. Officer Miske
noticed the accident and called the DO
lice ambulance. After being attended
to by Police Surgeon Doran the boy
was taken to his home, 405 North
Franklin street. He has a nasty cut
on the top of his head and number
of ugly bruises but is not dangerously
injured.
This is the first coasting accident to
occur this winter

MAN TIRED OF LIFE
DRINKS DEADLY ACID
Prompt Work of Police Surgeon
Saves Former Member of
Banda Rosa

Continuous brooding over his i'll
health and general hard luck caused
Joseph Cardo, formerly member of
the famous Banda Rosa band, to at
tempt suicide early yesterday morning
by drinking over an ounce of carbolic
acid.
The man registered at the Maloney
hotel, Eighth and Jackson streets,
about o'clock Sunday morning, and
went directly to his room Shortly
afterwards the night clerk heard some
one groaning on the floor above, and.
hurrying to investigate, discovered
Cardo lying unconscious on the bed
An empty bottle with a carbolic acid
label told the story, and the police am
bulance was called.
Police Surgeon Doran saw the man
was almost gone, and a mad race with
death for the hospital began, the am
bulance winning. Cardo was hurried to
the operating room, restoratives ad-
ministered, and after an hours work he
was declared out of danger
-Four years ago Cardo was a cornet
player in the Banda Rosa band, but
was forced to resign on account of the
condition of his lungs. Since then he
has taken up the wrestling game, but
was not very successful, and lately had
been employed as a cook in Minneap-
oils. He came to st. Paul a short time
ago and worked for a time at the Or
pheum theater. His home is in San
Francisco

NEWS OF THE CITY
ENGINEER
IN CHURCH PULPIT
Jim Burwick, Railroad Evange-
list, Opens Revival Meet
ing With Plain Talk

sT always do all can to discourage
a person joining a church, said Jim
Burwick, the railroad evangelist, at the
meeting held by the Y. NJ c. A. at
the First Baptist church, Waeouta
and Ninth streets, yesterday afternoon
because there is always a chance of
him backsliding. When a person in
the face of all Encouragement that
can be offered is still bound to join a
church then let him join, for he has
passed the halfway stage.
Many people get the religious fever
at revival meetings, confess a multi
tude of sins, want to join two or three
churches and then get cooled off be-
fore they get home.
'The trouble with good many of
our church members is that they are
satisfied with themselves and believe
they have learned all that is possible
to learn from the teachings of Christ.
Such people are dead timber and
something should be done to wake
them up"
Only Be Christian
Speaking of the different denomina-
tlons, Mr.. Burwick said: 1T doesn't
make the slightest difference what
church a man belongs to or If he be-
longs to any as long as he is a Chris
tan. Why, when I am introduced to a
man as the pastor of such and such a
church, always think to myself, well,
that won't hurt him any providing he
is a Christian
The great need of the church today
is more interest shown by the mem
bers, for if the Christian people do not
take any interest ins the work they
certainly cannot expect any one else
to. heard some one say that the
meeting this afternoon should have
been advertised with posters, etc, and
that undoubtedly would have been a
good plan, but suppose a prize fight
was to have taken place in this church
this afternoon do you think it would
have needed any advertising? Well,
L should say not, and why, because the
class of people who like such sport
take sufficient interest in it to keep
their friends posted as to what is CO.
ing on; and if a like interest in the
work of God could be worked up
among the Christian people of the
country there would be no ministers
preaching to empty pews, or what is
worse, ones filled with dead timber.
When an engine is dead it is useless,
and it is the same way with a dead
church member"
Mr. Burwick will hold meetings at
the First Baptist church every evening
for the rest of the week and perhaps
longer.

Orlfn Kalderwit, In the county jail
accused Of completely in the Columbia
Heights murder, does not believe that
persons accused of crime should be
found guilty on circumstantial evi-
dence, and for this reason is of the
opinion that DR.. George R. Koch will
be found not guilty of killing DR.. Geb-
hard, by the jury now hearing the
case at New Ulm.
Half of the men found guilty of
crimes on circumstantial evidence are
innocent of the charge made against
them," said Kalderwit in his cell in
the county jail yesterday, "but Koch
: is not to be one of the victims Koch
has friends and money, and with these
the worst kinds Of circumstantial evil
dence can be overcome.
''Dr. Koch did not kill DR.. Geb-
hard and had nothing to do with the
murder. All of the evidence, of the
state is far drawn and is based on
prejudice, not on facts.
Even cooped up as am and with
but few of the newspapers to read, I
have learned that since his childhood
Koch has been a physical coward.
Even here 1 have met men who can
tell of incidents going to prove that
he would shudder and grow cold at
the least hint of trouble. That is not
the kind Of man who would pound a
mans head to a pulp with hammer,
and then continue to drive into the
body a knife"
If what is told me of Koch Is true
he would have tainted under the cir
curnstances before he could have COM
pleted the job and would have been
found lying inSenSib1e by the side of
his victim when the doors were broken
in.
Koch to Be Acquitted
II am not saying that Koch did not
plan the murder But if the state
hopes to convict on that theory it must
produce the accomplice. Having failed
in this it certainly follows that Koch
must be acquitted.
THE weakest possible, circumstan-
tial evidence is that which seems to at
once fix the crime upon a man. Such
evidence can always be attacked and
overcome. 1t is the indirect testimony
that develops after a long search that
tells before a jury.
In Koch'S case he was suspected of
the crime the very day after the mur-
der. A handkerchief that is claimed
to have been his was found at the
side of the murdered man. Everybody,
by which 1 mean the great majority of
people, jumped to the conclusion that
! he was guilty of the crime. Detectives
The Saint Paul globe., 1905-01-16

We're hired to prove the charge. There
was no question raised as to his in
nocence, yet the authorities censid-
ered long and earnestly before they
decided to arrest him. This very fact
VIII be sufficient to create a reason
able doubt in the minds of the jury
men, all OF Whom are either acquainted
with or know by reputation some
member of the Koch family.
DR.. Koch will be a free man some
time during the week. OF that I feel
sure When he goes on the stand and
tells his story it will carry with it the
people. He will be able to state his
case more effectively than could an at
torney. In his statement he will show
that he is and has always been ply
slcal coward; that even the sight of
blood from dental operations had bad
effect on his nerves. He will go into
the details of the night in question,
and when he gets through the jury will
be ready to go out and declare him
innocent of the charge.
Talks of His Own Case
Il am accused of murder, and they
expect to convict and hang me for a
crime committed in that Columbia
Heights saloon. I know nothing Of the
affair, except what 1 have learned since
beng arrested. Being perfectly conf
dent of an acquittal, there is really
nothing for me to worry about. But [
am less fortunate than DR.. Koch He
was granted an early trial, while it will
be impossible for me to face a jury
before April. Koch will likely. be free
man for three months before 1 am
brought to trial, while the crime of
which am charged was committed
month previous to the murder of DR..
Gebhard. 1t is such delays as this that
have brought the grand jury system
into dlsrepute. 1 want a trial at the
earliest possible date, knowing that I
am not guilty.
How does it feel to be in the shad-
oW of the gallows? Never having seen
a gallows, l do not know how the shad-
iow would appear. All that 1 feel is
that 1t is an outrage to keep me lock-
ed up here without@a an opportunity to
defend myself. The constitution of the
state guarantees me an early and fair
trial, but it seems that I can't get
either without waiting for months to
allow the Anola county grand jury to
find an Indictment

WATCH FOR WINTER
Omaha Men Remember Their
Former Superintendent

w. G. Winter, who was superintend-
ent of the Omaha system until the
flrst OF the month. was in the city yes
terday and was very pleasantly sur
prised by Omaha employees. He was
presented with a fine gold watch and
cha1n with diamond 1ocket and solid
silver platter.
Mr.. Winter was asked to pay visit
to the Omaha headquarters at noon,
and responding found present a num-
Der OF employees of the company. For
the locomotive engineers he was pre-
sented with a handsome Swiss watch,
with suitable chain and fob. Other
employees of the company presented the
silver platter. The watch and platter
We're suitably engraved.
Although taken by surprise, Mr..
Winter made suitable response to the
speeches of presentation, in which the
employees told of their high regard for
the former superintendent, and of their
wishes for his future success. Some
time was spent recalling former days
of pleasant associations.

SLAYER OF YOUNG
TALKS OF SHOOTING
Cannon Declares That the
Killing of His Friend Was
an Accident

Three weeks ago today I was free
man, not dreaming that I would take
mans life said Harry Cannon in
the county Jail yesterday. "The man
who has his freedom does not realize
the blessing Of being able to come and
go at will.
"And l am here because of an acct
dent. Before my God I did not intend
to shoot Percy Young. There was no
reason why 1 should take his life. We
had always been friendly. In mo-
ment of anger drew the revolver and
pointed it at him. There was a report
and saw Young stagger and fall. The
horror that came over me then has
not worn off.
Expects to Die in Prison
RI firmly believe that it is true that
no man is ever happy after taking
human life. Without money and with
out friends able to help me, L suppose
that l will spend the remainder Of my
life in prison. Most likely 1 will die
there before long. 1t was an accident,
but the jury will hardly believe what
a poor man tells them.''
Cannon has every indication of be-
ing a victim of tuberculosis, and since
his confinement has rapidly lost flesh.
He looks hopelessly to the future, and
If he purposely fired the shot that kill
ed Percy Young he is certainly re-
pentant- There is nothing about his
emaciated appearance suggesting the
bold, well fed criminal endeavoring to
manufacture an excuse that will at
least win sympathy from court and
jury. Thoroughly downcast, he mere
ly awaits the coming of the time when
he will be taken before the jury, the
degree of the homicide fixed and his
term of confinement in prison an
nounced. The indictment charges
murder in the second degree, and con-
viction may mean life in the peniten-
tiary.
Blames Drink for Shot
Think what a difference a moment
can make in a mans life" said Can
non lone minute I was sitting at
the card table quietly playing with
Young, and the next moment was be-
ing hurried to the central police sta
ton charged with murder. Without
intending to commit crime of even a
minor character, I pulled the trigger
of the revolver, causing the death of
my friend. Anger and drink caused me
to fire the shot. Every day in prison
seems a week. Some of the prisoners
here tell me that this Jail is fine one
compared with prisons in other cities,
but find that it is a perfect hell on
earth to me. Three weeks ago was
Christmas day. AS long as / live will
not forget it"

w. T. Francis, colored, in an address
delivered before the Young Mems Sun
day club in the Pilgrim Baptist church
yesterday, urged in an original way
that it is good policy to assist others
TO success. as in this way success viii
come to those who give assistance. He
put the case in this way:
l am told that it is an easy matter
to keep crabs in confinement by merely
placing them in a basket, for as one
of them climbs up above the others on
his way to liberty those beneath him
Will reach up and pull him back. Don't
be crab. If you can't get up, help
others to take advantage of their op-
portunities, and in that way you will
be taking advantage of yours
Mr.. Francis took for his subject,
prepare Yourself to Take Advantage
OF Your Opportunities" Speaking to
representative gathering of colored
people, he took the broad ground that
the colored youth should be educated,
thus being enabled to take advantage
OF whatever opportunities come his
way.
1t might be charged, he admitted,
that many of the educated colored peo-
pie are to be found about the saloons
and gambling houses, but contended
that 1t was the education that took
them there. Encouragement from 9TH
er colored people should be only con-
sldered an incentive to further and
better effort to conquer the difficulties
and be successful. He took the posi-
ton that colored people, as a general
proposition, are fully compensated for
the work they do. In part he said:
Knowledge Is the Key
knowledge is the key that opens
the door of opportunity for all men, be
they white or black. A people can only
become a power in the world and re-
ceive the respect of their fellow men
when they have acquired knowledge
Of business and commercial life. of the
trades, the professions, the arts and
sciences of the world. Prepare your
esf to do something and do it we'll. and
the opportunity to use your talent will
come to you sooner or later
My advice to the young man and
young woman rs to get all the educa-
ton you can and apply it to trade,
a business or a profession Few men
know too much about the trade, busi-
ness or profession in which they are
engaged. Few, indeed, there are of us
who are not receiving all that we are
entitled to for the amount of effort
that we put forth, the ability we pos
sess and the knowledge we have ac-
quired.
1T is a too prevalent idea among
our people that to secure an education
means to have good, easy time, free
from all necessity for manual labor.
That idea, my friends, is erroneous,
and we owe it to ourselves and to our
posterity to discard it. No matter
what our occupations are, education
will tighten its burden and create a de-
mand for our services, but it is not
passport to idleness.
Some of our people discourage the
idea of educating our youths, because.
they say, that after finishing course
in school and college "a great many of
our boys are found spending most of
their time in saloons and gambling
houses. This may and may not be
true. do not purpose to discuss that
