CITY IN BRIEF


Albert E. Clarke, formerly general
attorney of the Minneapolis & st.
Louis railway, and for the last five
years senior partner in the firm of
Clarke & Carmichael, died at his home,
2012 Park avenue early last Sunday,
of angina pectoris. Since entering
private practice Mr.. Clarke had been
special counsel for the city in many
important cases.
Residents of South Minneapolis are
enthusiastic over the proposed fifth
interurban line which has been sug-
gested to cross Minneapolis at Frank
lin avenue. Several hundred residents
of the South Side, including members
of the Franklin Avenue Business
Mems association and South Side
Commercial club, attended a most en-
thusiastic mass meeting held last
Tuesday night at the South Side Com.
mercial club.
More than 300 railroad ticket agents
and more than 1000 steamship line
agents in the state of Minnesota will
be called upon for SO license fee by
Anton. Schaefer, public examiner.
Secretary of State Schmahl recently
informed the public examiner that the
law providing for ticket agent IL
censes was not being observed. 1t
was found that nearly every ticket
agent of the state had neglected to
pay the fee. Under the law, any I'M
licensed person selling tickets for
transportation on any public carrier
is guilty of gross misdemeanor.
Officers of the steamship companies
have advised Mr.. Schaefer that the
act does not apply to them. The pub
lie examiner holds the contrary
Kenwood parkway's beautiful shade
trees are slowly dying. Residents in
that district declare that as a result
Of the smoke and gases escaping
from the locomotives of the Minneap-
oils & st. Louis railroad their trees
are being badly damaged and unless
speedy action is taken it will be but
a few years before all the stately elms
and naples will have to be cut down.
All along Kenwood parkway, resi-
dents declare, the effects of the gases
can be noticed upon the tops of the
trees. The leaves are small and stunt
ed and throughout the summer have
been falling and showing a general
lack of life, which is said to be d.
rectly traceable to the smoke, which
at times is so dense as to almost OBJ
scure the sun.
Sentence of Samuel A. Phillips, for
mer newspaper man, now serving a
seven-year term in the Saltwater pen
itentiary on: charge of grand lar
ceny, was committed to four years by
the state pardon board, which met in
the governors Office Tuesday. This
entities Phillips to an immediate pa
role as he has already served two
years and eight months of his SEN
tence. Roscoe Mervin Grizzle of the
United States army, formerly sta
toned at Fort Smelling, was pardoned
on the condition that he return to
the fort and serve out his enlistment
Officers Of the fort pleaded in behalf
of the prisoner, declaring that they
wanted to save him from a dishon-
orable discharge from the army which
would come unless he were immedi-
ately released from prison.
The Minnesota Graduate Nurses at
their annual meeting held in the Au-
tomobile Club rooms, st. Paul, Tues
day, declared war upon Twin City
dairymen. Nearly all the diaries in
the Twin Cities" they declared, "are
in an indescribably filthy condition,
and are the greatest obstacle to sani-
tation and health" One hundred and
twenty-five nurses who attended yes
terday's meeting were all in favor of
Starting something" They said that
they were only interfering with the
milk question because it was one
which affected them directly Thus
the Anti-Tuberculosis society in one
year spent $4,000 for milk and eggs
alone. 1t is highly necessary in a
case like this that invalids be able to
obtain milk free from infection, say
the medical women.
