WHY ATTENDANTS HIT INMATES
Did 1t In Order To Secure Their
Own Discharge.

The house committee charged with
Investigating the reported brutalities
of attendants in the st. Peter asylum
for insane has made it's report.
The committee finds that some of the
attendants were incompetent and that
there were altogether too few attend
ants to properly care for the inmates.
DR.. Tomlinson testified before the
committee that the incompetency of
some of the attendants was attribut-
able to the meagre compensation al
lowed for help, he being compelled as
a rule to accept them from an unintelli-
gent class of people.
One of the rules of the institution
provides that whenever an attendant
strikes or abuses an inmate he is sub
iect to discharge, and DR.. Tomlinson
commended that sometimes the attend
ants resorted to brutality for this very
purpose-to secure discharge from a
job with which they were dissatisfied.
The committee is of the opinion that
ever since the board of control has
had jurisdiction over the institution
conditions have improved.

House Turns Him Down on Cues.
ton of Investigating Expenses.

The lower house of the legislature
has refused TO allow Representative
Peterson's expense bill for Investigate
ing the Shippers association, the
vote standing As to "a. The bill,
amounting to 1886, called for Sl17 for
the expenses of the sergeant at arms,
$3.50 for attorneys fees and S58 for the
incidental expenses of the chairman.
Several members argued that while
the investigation did not amount to
anything it had been authorized by
the house and all legitimate expenses
should be paid, but others pointed out
that attorneys had been engaged to
conduct the examination when there
was no necessity for it.
The overwhelming sentiment was
that the bill was too high and it was
accordingly disallowed.
Later it was again taken up and re-
ferred to a committee of three to be
audited.
Sans second rundown came when
he tried to advance his pet bill to put
the Shippers association out of bust
ness as a political organization. Pc
terson asked to have it taken up un-
der suspension of the rules. Repre-
sentative Roekne came back with the
suggestion that the motion to suspend
the rules be tabled

VALUE OF MINNESOTA ROADS
Sundberg Legislative Committee
Places the Total at
S215, 100000.
Net Earnings Last Year Averaged
Over Eighteen Per Cent.
Minneapolis & ST. Louis Figures
Show a Good Deal of
Watering.

Railroad property in Minnesota is
valued at S2l5, 1000, 900 by the Sundberg
investigating committee, which re-
turned its report to the Minnesota
senate Monday afternoon. This is
approximately 1921, 900 mile.
The property is capitalized to the
extent of about $500, 1000, 900, or $50, 900
a mile on an average.
The net earnings, according to the
committees findings, averaged over
$4,000 a mile last year or 18 per cent
on the committees valuation.
The report says that to arrive at the
cost of reproducing and equipping the
different lines in their present condi-
tion the committee considered:
''First, the original cost of construc-
ton; second, the cost Of improvements,
betterments and equipment added
since; third, the cost and character of
the lines recently built; fourth, the ex-
pense of operating and earnings I'M
der existing rates; fifth, the stocks and
bonds and the value and water thereof;
sixth, the geography of the line and
the judgment displayed in its loca-
ton"
The Minneapolis & st. Louis finances
are analysed as follows: The grand
total cost to June 80, 1906, is figured
at S13, Jos, 903.20, or S20,76 amile. The
value per mile in Minnesota is fixed
at S21, 200. A large part of the equip
ment, the committee finds, is worthless.
OF the eighty-four locomotives forty
seven were bought over twenty five
years ago. OF passenger cars nineteen
are over twenty-five years old, and
the average age of the rest perhaps
fifteen years. Of 1852 box cars 1850
were purchased in 1880 and 1881. The
committee finds that stock which cost
nothing was taken up by sale of bonds,
and that the bonds not only paid for
road and equipment, but for retirement
of 81, $780, 900 capital stock. The stock
is ''all water' The road has earned
81, 1919 per mile in the last seven
years, over II per cent on the cost
and value Of the property.

CUTS OFF ALL PRIVILEGES
N s
Omaha Road Outlines Effect of
Two Cent Passenger
Rate Law.
Excursion and Communication Tic
kets to be a Thing of
the Past.
Parsons to be Given Reduced Rates
on Interstate Traffic Only

y The Chicago, ST. Paul, Minneapolis
: Omaha railway officials are out
with circular declaring their accept
ance of the new law making two cents
a mile the maximum passenger rate
in Minnesota and announcing the con-
ditiens under which the new schedule
will be put into effect.
According to the circular all special
rates between Minnesota points will be
abolished and the regular fare of two
cents a mile charged. This applies to
all Communication tickets between St.
Paul and the smaller nearby towns
as we'll as to homeseekers' rates, party
excursion rates and to authorized
2short-line mileage rates.
The new rules apply only to points
in Minnesota, but they will apply to
all classes of passengers. Clergy
men, charity workers and inmates of
soldiers homes will be sold the
same reduced rates which they now
get, but only on interstate traffic.
Mileage tickets sold after April 30
will not be good for passage between
points in Minnesota, but will be good,
as heretofore, between Minnesota
points and stations in other states.
Interstate travellers may avail them
selves of the reduced rate in Mime
bsota by purchasing tickets or paying
TRAIN fares to and from the states
boundaries, and in such cases the
conductors will not collect at the same
time the fares to and from the bound
aries of the state, but instead will col
lect ticket or fare to state boundary
and request passenger to purchase
tickets at the boundary station for
his further journey.
While the Interstate tariffs will re-
main unchanged for the present, it is
promised by the officials of the COM
pany that the Minnesota rates will be
made on all interstate tickets as soon
Mas the new tariffs can be compiled.
This will take several weeks, but the
passenger men expect to have the
figures made by July l.

MONEY FOR GEOLOGICAL SURVEY

ates 5000 for the Purpose.

There is no longer any question but
that geological survey of the coun-
try adjacent to New Ulm, such as was
outlined in the Review of two weeks
ago, will be undertaken this summer.

has agreed to make the survey at a
reasonable cost, and at the last meet
ing of the Commercial Association a
resolution was unanimously adopted
appropriating 5000 of the associations
money as an aid to securing his SER
vices. A committee is also to be ap-
pointed by President Klossner to wait
on the city council and obtain further
help from them.
With the survey once accomplished
it is impossible to estimate the advan-
tages that may accrue. Our people
nave always entertained the idea that

SCHMITT CONVICTED
Much Spicy Evidence Was Intro
.duced in the Trial Of Main
Street Saloon Man
SCHMlTT ASKS FOR NEW TRIAL

The jury in the case of Matt D.
Schmitt brought in verdict of
guilty as charged in the informa-
ton" just after three o'clock Satur-
day.
The jury was out less than an hour.
The lawyers for the defendant imme-
diately made motion for new trial
and sentence was suspended pending
the argument Of the motion.
The trial of Matt D. Schmitt,
charged with displaying in his saloon
pictures which were of an obscene
nature, occupied the attention of the
Circuit Court Friday afternoon and
Saturday and the case will probably go
down on record as the most sensa-
tional case ever tried in the Circuit
Court for kenosha county. Friday
afternoon Frank Tillotson, Frank
Symmonds and Charles Williams,
three members of the Civic Fedora
ton who we're behind the prosecution.
of Schmitt, were on the stand and
they told the story of the seizure of
the picture machine. The men stated
that they had looked at the pictures
and told the Court of the nature of
them. The testimony of these wit
nesses showed that the pictures we're
of the most revolving nature. The
limit of realism was reached when
one of the witnesses was asked to give
living representation of one of the
pictures that he had seen in the ma
chine. Attorney A. E. Buckmaster
was called and he testified that at the
time he was district attorney for the
county he had directed Schultz to re-
move the machine from his place of
business declaring that it was not in
keeping with the state law.
The attorneys for Schmitt made an
elaborate defense in the case this
morning and several witnesses were
put on the stand to tell of the char
acter of Schmitt. Later witnesses
were put on the stand by the defense
to put in evidence. the nature of the
pictures and from the statements
made by these witnesses it seemed
that thegaccused man had been con-
Quoting high art gallery and that
the pictures were of the highest form
of art. The evidence of the defen-
dant tended to show that he had
no knowledge of the nature of the
pictures in the machine.
