A Bad Blunder.

St. PauL-Members of the state
board of control made startling dis
covery, when they got their first look
at the new code of laws.
Standing appropriations of the state
prison and reformatory, the three in
sane hospitals, the Red Wing training
school and the institutions at Fari-
bault and Owatonna seem to be omit
ted from the revision. These appro-
priations have stood for years, and
about covered the running expenses of
the institutions. If they have been
omitted, an extra session of the legis-
lature must be called at once, or the
states penal, correctional and chart.
table institutions must go out of bust
ness
Members of the board of control APP
pealed at once to the governor and
attorney general A conference was
called, and met in the governors of.
fee. Those present were Governor
johnson, Messrs. Gould, Leavit and
Rosing of the board of control, George
7. Simpson and G. S. Jelly, assistants
to the attorney general. Attorney
General Young is absent on a vaca-
ton.
The standing appropriations for
state departments for the university
and the normal schools are plainly
cared for in the code, but appropria-
tions estimated at $5sO,000 for the
other institutions have not been loca-
ted. If they are omitted, it is colos-
sal blunder: Ten institutions with
hundreds of employees and thousands
of inmates will have no money for
maintenance

the year ending Dec. 81, 1905, at 4 per
cent, amount to $3,015, 1854 OF this

tax on its branch lines, but reported
at the rate of 2 per cent for it's main
line from st. Paul to the Iowa line
asserting that its territorial charter,
which provides that the payment of a
3 per cent tax shall exempt it from all
other taxes, exempts from the per
cent law. The Great Northern paid a
4 per cent tax on its lines, except on
the lines leased leased on the st. Paul,
minneapolis & *Manitoba, which has a
cnarter since 1857 providing for 3
per cent tax.
The tax now collected amounts to

FAVORS SEA LEVEL CANAL
General George w, Davis
Makes a Statement Before
the Senate Committee,

Washington, March 29.-GeneraI George
w. Davis, formerly of the isthmian canal
commission and governor of the canal
zone and later chairman of the board of
consulting engineers, appeared before the
senate committee on interOceanic canal
today in support of the majority report
recommending the construction of a sea-
level canal Commenting upon the alleged
dangers Of big ships passing each other
the witness said the sea-level plan pro-
viGed for every ship likely to be built in
the next twenty years and there was no
point where the ships likely to pass
through the canal could rot meet in per
feet safety When the need for wider
canal arises. said General Davis, this
country would be ready to enlarge the
canal, which he thought could be easily
Gone. He illustrated his statement with
a group of diagrams showing the largest
ships afIOat in the proposed canal
General Davis concluded a long state
rnent with the assertion that if a sea
level canal were constructed at the cost
of $3.50. 100000 and its usage was equal to
the use of the Suez canal the canal
bonds could be redeemed from the rev
enues in twenty or twenty-five years
Members of the committee will question
General Davis tomorrow.

gated the disease in parts of South

their reports indicate that there can

Elkins Raises a Question.

During the rate bill discussion Mr..
El1inS raised the question as to Wheth-
er the bill cOnfeTs authority to pass on
rates between communities and said
that MIR. Dolliver had taken the posi-
ton that did not confer this authority.
Like Mr. AldTich, he asserted that the
friends of the bill do not agree in its
Interpretation.
Mr.. Elkins declared that he was the
best friend the bill has and that his
only reason for desiring to have the
bill amended is to make it strong. He
declared that he is even better friend
of the measure than either Mr.. DOIli-
yer, Mr.. Nelson or Mr. Tnlman
Mr.. Clay took the position that con-
gress had the power to fix a standard
of rates giving just compensation: that
both the carrier and the shipper should
have authority to go into the courts
to determine the question of just com
pensation; that the power to issue in
functions should be hedged about with
all proper restrictions; and that car
TieTs should be confined to their own
business

Mr. Jerome stated TO the court that
he had been somewhat uncertain as to
the proper procedure in insurance
matters, but that after consulting
with the justices in the criminal
branch of the supreme court he had
decided upon the special grand jury
Justice Bowling asked Mr. Jerome
whether he would lay before this jury
any matters other than those relating
to insurance. The district attorney re-
piled that he could assure the court
that nothing except insurance matters
would be presented to the jury.

ed in yesterdays issue of the Amerf-

the councilman from the Third ward.
The Dinninny alarm was raised i'm
the name of City Attorney Ogden
Hiles, and at the meeting last night
Judge HileS started to bear the brunt
Of the fight; but when Mr.. Fernstrom
began to pour in facts and figures
Judge Hiles stepped gracefully into
the background, and let Mr. Dinfnny
do his own fighting The remainder
of the evening Judge HiIes spent in
watching his assistant attempt vainIy
to wriSgle out of the various holes in
which Mr.. FernstrOm put him.
City Engineer L G. Kelsey contribu-
ted to the plight of the American ad-
mlnistratiOn by admitting toward the
close of the session that he had in his
office data showing exactly what rights
the city purchased although Mr. Din
rjnny had previously stated with
great emphasis that there was no such
record in the city engineers office.

The meeting was held in pursuance
of Councilman FeTry's resolution.
adopted at the last meeting of the
council, instruCting the waterwOrls'
committee to ascertain what water the
city would have to put in the Cotton
wood conduit. That resolution. It de-
veiOped, was introduced at the insti-
cation of Mr.. Dininny. Judge Hiles
stated to the committee that the con-
tracts by which the city acquired all
the rights Of the Big Ditch Irrigation
company, the Lower Canal company
and the Hill Ditch company, failed to
state what proportion of the waters /
of the creek were covered by the con
veyances from the companies in ques- I
ton to the city.
Judge Hiies admitted that Franklin /
S. Richards, who acted as special /
might have data showing what was
meant by the contracts. He stated. /
however, that he had not applied to
Mr. Richards for such data. He COM }
planned. however, because it had not .
been left in his office.

Then Mr.. Fernstrom took the floor.
and in five minutes cut the ground
from underneath those who are trying
TO discredit the last administration
He pointed out that in 1850 the com
missiOneTs of Salt Lake county, act

of the legislature, had
defined specifically what the rights of
the companies in question We're; that
the rights thus defined were a1bse-

Attorney Norton stated this morning
that he had been informed that the
discovery had been made in San Fran

the murder of her husband, a. n. Nc
Vicar, had purchased a bottle OF eva

admit this.

bottle which had contained cyanide

a knife or cleaver was also found

given.

Took Issue With Knox.

Mr. NeWlands took issue with some
Of the statements made by Mr.. Knox on
the subject Of appeal to the courts. de-
claring that there was nothing in the
bill either to prevent such an appeal
or to limit the powers of the court in
the matter of injunction. He felt dis
posed TO exercise great caution in the
matter of review.
When Mr.. Newlands concluded the
bill providing for the reorganization
of the medical department of the army
was taken up and Mr.. Hale again
voiced his opposition to the measure.
He repeated his argument against the
present increase of the army
THE army man and the navy man
go on the theory that the government is
run for their benefit" he said, ''but I
do not believe that the people generally
want the army augmented i'm time of
peace'

Only One Exception.

Discussing the navy, he said he would
pit it against any navy lin the world
except Great BTitain's, and that il
would be folly to attempt to equal the
naval establishment of that power. He
believed that with the vessels now or
deTed our navy would be superior to
the French navy and the second in the
world.
Returning to the army, Mr. Hale ex-
pressed his satisfaction with the pres
ent contract surgeon system.
Mr.. Lodge did not consider the con-
tract surgeon system a good one, be-
cause it resulted in securing the SER
vice of only inexperienced young ply
sicians or of old ones who have failed
in their profession. He therefore ad-
vocated the passage of the bill, saying
that the maximum increase in pay in
vOlved in the passage of the bill was
