QUARTEMONT NOT INDICTED
GRAND JURY FINDS NO BILL IN
CASE.
Charges Against Man Held in Con.
nection With Mathews
Case Dismissed.

Frank j. Quartemont, assistant su-
perintendent of the commissary de-
partment of the 500 railroad, who was
held in the city Jail charged with the
murder of Alice Mathews, was re-
leased from custody. The charge of
first degree murder, placed against
him by Detective Hanson, was dis
missed by Judge Montgomery of the
municipal court on the request of an
agent of the county attorney
The grand jury report contained
nothing concerning the charge against
him. The only mention of the MUIR
der case made in the report was the
recommendation the jury made that
two policemen of the Sixth precinct
station be discharged from the de-
partment.
Police officials look on grand jury
report as direct slap. Az such they
have not forsaken any of their the
ories of the case and are working as
hard as ever on the mysterious death
of the young flour mill worker, one
hundred feet in front of her home,
March 23
They say that the action Of grand
jury will make no difference to them
in their efforts to bring the slayer of
Miss Matthews to justice. They still
believe Quartemont is guilty.

WOULD SELL BONDS
FIGURES THAT STATE WOULD
PROFIT NEARLY A MILLION
BY THEIR DISPOSAL.
SECURITIES OF VIRGINIA.
Great Demand for Money-Has Bid on
Securities Which He Will Lay
Before investment Board
Members.

State Treasurer Walter ]. Smith, at
the next meeting of the State Invest
ment board, will lay before the other
members a proposal to sell the Vir-
ginia State bonds now owned by the
State of Minnesota Mr.. Smith has
secured quotations on the bonds and
figured out what the state will gain
by the sale if present interest rates
continue. He also has asked Assist
ant Attorney General Stephenson to
draw up the necessary papers so that
if the board members agree with him
the bonds can be quickly disposed of
and the money loaned to Minnesota
municipalities.
Could Get More Interest.
The bonds, which have par value
of $2,145,000, were bought in 1899 at
cost of S1,S65, ,062. They pay per
cent, but considering that they were
bought below par they are returning
little better than 8 per cent on the
investment. Mr.. Smith has an offer
now of 1926 for the bonds, which
would bring $1,S5O,062.5O. This could
be loaned in a very few weeks to
counties, cities and school districts in
the state at per cent.
The bonds are to run until 1899.
They bring about S64,350 annually
and would bring the state $5,59S,450
in interest in that time. If the $780,
062 which they will bring were loaned
out now at per cent the return to
the state would be about $4,000 an
nually, or $6,43S,OO0 in the eighty
seven years the boards have to run,
according to figures prepared by Geo.
Lafond of the treasurer's office.
Saving to Counties.
The gain to the state at large
would be still greater, according to
Mr. Smith, for the municipalities that
would borrow this money from the
stste at per cent, would otherwise
nave to borrow money from private
parties at ). This would mean saw
Ing - them at $18,65G annuallyas long
as present interest rates continue.
The matter of selling Virginia State
bonds was brought up by State Treas
urer Block several years ago, but as
the sale of any bonds held by the
state requires unanimous vote of the
board members and Chief Justice
Start opposed the sale on the ground
that the demand for money did not
warrant the sale, the other members
did not push the matter
The board is composed of the Gov
ernor, the state treasurer, the state
auditor, tie chief justice of the Su-
preme Court and the president of the
Board of Regents of the State Univer-
sity = .-r

PAT DoUGHERTY QUITS GAME
Veteran outfieIder Of White Sox and
Well Known Among Baseball
Fans, Finally Retires.

Pat Dougherty, veteran outfieldar Of
and one Of the best known characters
In the game, has quit baseball for all
time, according to an announcement
given out at Chicago. Dougherty's
retirement was announced in a per-
sonal letter received by President
Comiskey and was no surprise to the
old Roman, who had expected it, as he
had tntimation of his veteran outfield-
er's intention to retire from play.
President Comiskey was deeply af.
fected by Dougherty's letter announc.
ing his farewell. In way it set a
precedent to recent years. The White
Sox chief says the epistle from the
player is one of the most remarkable
he has received from a ball player in
k.s whole career in baseball.
Dougherty told President Comiskey
that he realized he had only year or
more left at the most to play in the
big leagues and that he preferred to
retire voluntarily than to be forced to
quit on account of age. He added that
his affections still lay wrapped up
with the White Sox and that should
his services ever be needed in pinch
for the good of the team all the old
Roman had to do was to speak the
word and he would come on the first
train that could carry him to Chicago.
Pat Dougherty has been one of the
most talked about characters in base
ball in the major leagues for nearly
decade and at different times has
been a hero of two big fandoms in
different cities. He was with the Bos-
ton Red Sox in 1903, when they won
the American league pennant.

vice president, George R. Thompson
Chatfield; second vice president, AL
son Blodgett, Jr., Faribault; secretary
Professor c. E. Ball. North Mankato;

The delegates were taken for an
automobile ride by members of the
Mankato Commercial club and shown
some of the graveled roads, which six
years ago were the worst in the coun-
ty.
H. J. Maxfield, state immigration
commissioner, made an address to the
delegates in the afternoon in which he
urged the necessity of the southern
part of the state waking up and doing
some of the same sort of advertising
which is attracting settlers to Mon
tana, Canada and the western states.
He frankly told the delegates that this
part of the state was far behind the
times.
H. E. Hance of Mankato moved that
it be the sense of the association that
the legislature should appropriate
enough money to handle the depart
ment on proper basis, whether it
took 100000 or some other sum. This
was carried without dissent
Mr.. Palmer on good roads, said it
had been estimated that bad roads in
Minnesota alone cost the farmers from
