JUDGE DICKINSON DENIES MO
TON FOR NEW TRIAL AND
PRoNoUNCEs PRISONERS DOOM.

All that now stands between DR.. The
ron H. BLY, and three and half years
in the penitentiary is the supreme court.
Judge H. D. Dickinson today denied
the defendant g motion for a new, trial,
and sentenced him ato the above term
Of years. for the performance of a fatal
criminal operation upon Hilda Rosen Id
December, 1904. His appeal bond was
fixed at $4,000 and was furnished be-
fore noon today. Colonel w. E. Dodge,
counsel for the defendant,s said this
morning that an appeal would be per-
fected at once.
Hilda Rosen died in DR.. Bly's private
sanatorius, Twenty second street and
Nicollet avenue, on Dec. 9, 1904. She
was taken from the hospital during the
night. Her death led to an investiga-
tion and DR.. Bly, was indicted for man
slaughter and for performing a Grim
inal operation by the grand Jury then
in session. The evidence against the
accused was rather indefinite and re-
quired great deal Of work on the part
of County Attorney Al j. Smith, who
took up the case shortly after he came
into office in January, 1905. The first
indictments did not suit Mr.. Smith, and
he presented the case to the January
grand jury and a new Indictment was
returned. The first trial resulted in a
disagreement. The second, on still an
other Indictment, terminated in con
viction. -, IL &..&.." a. =

FIRST HIGH WAY
BOARD IS NAMED
GOVERNOR CREATES GOOD ROADS
COMMISSION.
Two from the Country Districts and
One from st. Paul-Oo Cooley Of Mime
apolis Likely to Be Chosen Engineer
Of Board Governor Shakes Up Some
State Boards.

The first state highway commission
consists of Charlese Halvorson, Dawson,
John B. Galanneault, Aitkin, and Gus
tave Scholle, st. Paul.
The appointments were announced to-;
day by Governor johnson. The law
became effective Jan. l, and the COM
mission will meet in few days to or.
ganize. George w. Cooley Of Mime
apolls, county surveyor and promi-
nent good roads enthusiast, is men,
toned for the position Of engineer, and
is understood to be willing to accept
the place, tho it only pays $1,000 a
year. If he is chosen Minneapolis will
have a recognition, St.. Paul will have
one member of the board and the coun-
try districts two, one from the north
east and the other from the western
section. The board members get no
compensation. VI
Mr.. Halvorson is a republican and a
former state senator. The other two
are democrats, and all three are BUSH
ness men. Mr.. Scho]le represents the
automobile interests. The board can
do nothing but preparatory work this
year. The legislature of, 1905 created
it, but apportioned the road and bridge
fund, SO the commission will have bare
ly enough for expenses this year. The
state tax Of one twentieth Of mill will
be levied this year, and will make a
good fund to work with in 1907.
A number Of other board appoint
mentts were announced today and in
nearly every case change is made. &

In a decision handed down today by
the Minnesota supreme court, the stat
ute limiting the number of saloons in
blocks bordering on the patrol limits
was declared unconstitutional. The case
was the famous one of Charles II.
Schraps, and Judgment was reversed.
Since the decision against him in the
trial court, Mr.. Schraps has failed and
discontinued business, and "Conry s., "a
his successor in the building at 1884
Sixth street S., has also given it up. ,gr
taurant on Sixth street with the expec-
tation Of being able to sell liquor there.
Upon his application for license, a
firm Of saloonkeepers located in the
block started an agitation and brought
out the statute which had been passed
especially for their benefit, limiting the
number of saloons in block bordering
on the patrol limits to five, the number
already there. :
Mr.. Schraps' application was turned
down by the council and the case was
carried to the supreme court.
The Judgment has now been reversed
too late to benefit Mr.. Schraps.
The act is declared unconstitutional
on the ground that it does not apply
