Post-Material Changes in
Present Plans Expected to
Follow Protest

The application of the Minneapolis
street railway company to extend its
lines into the military reservation at
Fort Smelling is still being held up by
the war department. The telegram sent
by Congressman F. c. Stevens to the
secretary Of war requesting that def
mite action be delayed until a letter
from him giving some additional in
formation on the, subject and shedding
some light on several knotty problems
has been received by the authorities.
Mr.. Stevens said yesterday in regard
to the matter:
1t would be a breach of custom if I
should give out anything of the con-
tents of a confidential letter written to
the head of one of the national de-
partments All can say at this time
is simply that grave mistakes have
been made in the past because sufficient
time for consideration of the subject
under discussion was not allowed For
instance 1t has been found that the ar
tiilery stables at the post are too short
and that several of the buildings have
been so carefessly placed that they will
eventually have to be removed.
i do not say that 1 am opposing the
application to. extend the car line into
Fort Smelling, but 1 can say that the
fact that it is the Minneapolis car line
and not the st. Paul company that
contemplates going into the post has
no effect at all upon the question"
The letter written by Congressman
Stevens is due to arrive at the office
of the secretary of war this morning

Jerry ]. Strapp. formerly first as
sistant chief is now at the head of the
st. Paul fire department.
At the meeting of the board of fire
commissioners last night Chief Strapp
was unanimously chosen for the posi-
ton and highly lauded for his services
in the department during the past.
Henry Devlin, second assistant chief
under Chief Jackson, was elected to
the position of first assistant.
The election of the second assistant
chief was somewhat of surprise.
Capt. William A. Rodecker of engine
company No. was selected as the
man for the position, and his past rec
ord shows that the trust imposed in
him by the commissioners is war
ranted.
Owing to the rapid growth of the
city and the necessity of installing
new engine companies. the board
deemed 1t necessary that a third as
slstant chief be appointed. On account
OF his extended service in the depart
ment and his unquestioned ability as
a fire fighter, Capt. Miles McNaily of
engine company No. was appointed
to the position. The salary of the
third assistant chief was fixed at 81 200
a year.
Daniel Neary, present superintend-
ent of the fire alarm signal system,
was unanimously reelected and highly
complimented by President Warner, on
behalf of the fire commissioners, for
his excellent work during the past.

MINNESOTA ASKED
TO PROTECT FISH
Governors of New York and
Vermont Write to Gov.
johnson

Gov. Johnson yesterday received two
letters, one from Gov. Frank NJ. Hig-
gins of New York and one from Gov.
G. j. Bell of Vermont, asking coopera-
ton In securing an international
agreement with the dominion of Can
ada regarding fisheries in boundary
waters.
The case comes up on complaint of
the fishermen of the American side of
the water, who are prohibited from
using a seine or net in fishing. At
first it was only intended to have an
agreement with the dominion govern
ment as between New York and YER
mont, but it has widened out to take
in all the boundary waters.
Gov. Johnson has not yet given the
matter his attention. The eastern
governors, as we'll as the federal gov
eminent and the government of Cana
da. desire a commission to settle the
matter. 1t is asked that Gov. John
son appoint committee from Mime
sofa, this state having mutual waters
with Canada.
On the Canadian side of the waters
there is no restriction as to using a
seine in fishing. The boundary states,
whose governors are asked to appoint
a representative are New York YER
mont, Michigan, wisconsin, Mime
sofa, Washington, North Dakota and
Montana.
The request that the settlement be
made general came from the Canadian
government, represented by Raymond
PrefOntaine as minister of marines and
fisheries at Ottawa. The appointment
of the commission is Endorsed by the
American government.
The letter from Gov Higgins says in
part:
In view of the great anxiety of the
people OF Vermont and New York that
the wholesale netting of fish be stopped
In Missisquoi bay. that portion of Lake
Champlain lying in Canada, to prevent
the determination of fish, L most re-
specially ask you to consider the
proposition of appointing a committee
or commission from your state to act
In conjunction with representatives
from the other states mentioned in
taking up this question with the Ca
madam government"
Gov. Bell of Vermont writes Gov
Johnson In part as follows: 1.-The
states of Vermont and New York, by
recent legislation have made seine or
net fishing in Lake Champlain illegal,
and commissions to cooperate with the
proper officials in the province of Que
bee for the same purpose are desired
for without a proper understanding
with the Canadian people there would
be little encouragement for Vermont or
New York people to maintain their re-
strictions.
The matter was taken up with the
American consul at Ottawa, Hon. J.
G.. Foster, but he was not wholly sue
eessful in bringing about the desired
results, although he did get the Cana
dian officials to concede that some
thing ought to be done in the matter"
