NO ACTUAL. DEFICIT
City's Current Revenue and Expense
Fund Is in Good Shape.

An erroneous impression as to- the
condition of the city s current revenue
and expense fund has been created by
the publication in morning paper of
a statement purporting to show a def
cit of about $37 900 in that fund.
City Controller Dan c.. Brown said to-
day that while many Of the departments
had overdrawn their accounts in this
fund there was no actual deficit. The
final statement had not yet been pre-
pared, but he expected that there
would be a surplus of about $4,000.
The street lighting account was over
drawn $24,S81, but the overdraft was
reduced $4,000 over that of year ago.
Other accounts overdrawn are as fol-
lows: Police department, $715; city
engineer, $1,753; sealer of weights and
measures, $14; city weigher, $l02; city
controller, $40; roads and bridges, 1854;
city hall expense, $1,793; city attorney,
1854; municipal court, $464; city asses
sor, $2,4S0; inspector of buildings,
So 1925 armory board, $278.

OFFICER VAN ETTEN HAS UNIQUE
"BIG STICK" PLAN.
Humane Society Agent Gets Around
States Unsatisfactory Non-support
Laws-TIas Married DRINKS Released
on Probation and They Behave to
Escape workhouse.

Despite the large number Of de-
serted wives and children and the
numerous complaints made to the au-
thorities there has not been, during
the past year, q single conviction un-.
der the state non-support law and dur
ing the past few months there has not
been single indictment on this. for
merly, popular count.
This surprising condition has been
brought about by the efforts Of Agent
8. L. Van Etten Of the Minneapolis
Humane society, aided by the judges
and officers Of the municipal court.
It is result Of the crudeness and in
adequacy Of the non-support law that
requires persons accused Of this crime
TO be held to the grand jury, indicted
and tried in the district court before
they can be punished.
Successful experiments in dealing
with this class Of cases has led to the
gradual growth Of new system con-
sisting Of the suspension Of municipal
court sentences for drunkenness and
the placing on probation Of the de-
PENDANTS with the humane society
agent acting as probation officer.
Fully three-fourths Of the men &C.
! cused Of the non-supoprt Of their wives
and families are now tried in the
municipal court for drunkenness. Con-
victed, they are given straight work.
house sentences Of from thirty to ninety
| days. The sentences are then sus-
pended for six months or year and
the defendant ordered to report weekly
or semi-monthly to Mr.. Van Etten, who
keeps tab on the man, influencing him
to trod the straight and narrow path
The other one-fourth Of the defend
ants, against whom charges Of drunk
enness cannot be substantiated, are
bound over to the grand jury and hello
in the county jail until they are made
to understand their duty, after which
| they are allowed to 60 on their owl
recognizance during their good be
havior and in time their. cases ar,
nolled. ~ -.
In explaining this revolution of thu
court procedure in non-support case
Mr.. Van Etten said: *-E
"The non-support law in this stat,
is very unsatisfactory. It require
that a Ihan charged with this offens
must be bound over and indicted b,
the grand jury. This often necessitate
his being thrown in ffthe county jai
and kept there for days, weeks an
even months. In the meantime tn
condition Of his family is not helpe
4 in any way and is often much wors
q than when he was at liberty. Bot
Nudge Waite and Judge Smith hav
4 been very generous about aiding us i
handling these cases. Z 10y

Be Hosts to Fifty Visiting Brethren.

Cinnamon from all parts Of the state
will gather in Minneapolis Jan. "a to
celebrate the opening of the, thirty
second year of the reign Of Kwong Sui,
emperor of China, and to recall the Gus
toms Of their fatherland. While the
Chinaman of the northwest has adopted
the costume and the customs Of his
white neighbors his New Year day is
the occasion for recalling memories Of
the land Of his birth.
r. New Years day in China is preceded
by religious ceremony Of publication
which is intended to wipe out the sins
of the past year and start the devotee
upon the new year with a clean record.
All debts are paid and the women Of
the family set the houses in order.
Every ChinAman believes that if any
debts are carried over into the new
year his debts will be doubled before
it's end. All this is preliminary to the
real celebration. ~
Early in the morning the calls begin.
They are usually made the occasion for
an exchange Of gifts and etiquette de-
mands that the caller leave his card,
which is a highly decorated document
about the size of four-page newspaper.
The latter part Of the day is spent in
feasting and celebration in which fire.
works and frecrackers play large
part. e.. -,.-. .. ..
Owing to the fact that large pro
portion Of the Minneapolis Cinnamon
are members Of some Christian church
and that there is no local priest or JOSS
house, there will be no religious services
here. Those Of the Chinese colony who
still follow the religion Of their fathers
will pay their respects to the gods IL
private and burn incense before pict
ures of an old man surrounded by mum
erous descendants, symbolic Of long Life
and prosperity. -.

The old service spirit and longing

tell Of the days when ships were built
Of wood and guns loaded from the muz-
zle. Sailormen had striking accom-
plishments in those days-they could
run up and down ropes in way which
would make the modern jacky pale
with envy and their fancy work was
e1celled by none. The tar who could
not make his own clothes was not fit
to leave the training ship, and the man
who could not crochet his own ties
work wonderful patterns upon his
handkerchiefs and show featherbone
stitches along the seams Of his trousers
was looked down on by his mates as q
mere landlubber. la;-qg.
After serving almost continuously til
1898, MCGUIRE deserted, and tho he
longed to get back to the white decks
once more, was compelled to lie low

a pardon signed by William Mckinley

SUIT AGAINST STREET
RAILWAY INTERESTING
Pending Action Involves Status Of Odd
Transfers and Crowded Cars.

/, 4 ( i.
Can the street railway company re-
ject old transfers when the holders
offer them on the first car which they
are able to board?
Upon the answer to that question de-
ponds the chances of Peter Bungert,
Henry Hahn and James Conboy to col
lect $4,000 from the Minneapolis Street
Railway company. The question is new
in this state and the outcome of the
suit will be watched with more than
the usual amount of interest.
It is alleged in the complaints now on
file in the district court that Bungert,
Hahn and Conboy took transfers
punched at Seventh and Robert streets
st. Paul. They claim that they were
unable to get on an Interurban car
bound for Minneapolis on account of
the crowded condition Of the cars, un-
til over an hour later.
When they did get aboard they Of
fered their transfers and the conduct
or refused to accept them. An argu,
ment followed and it is alleged that
the conductor and driver threw the
three men off the car and "beat them
up.'
