WRONG MANLET

Similarity In the Names of Two
Prisoners Leads to Amazing
Blunder.

OTTAWA, April 15.-A peculiar
similarity in the names of two men

justice to nod at the capitol. The Can
adam government, owing to the mis-
take, released on pardon the wrong
man and there is CONSERVATION in the
department of justice. The depart

it. The search for the records today
revealed the strange blunder.

London recently wrote his thanks to
a London clergyman for efforts made
to secure his release. The clergyman
had made no such efforts, and the

SALOON men May
PROFIT BY PLAN

MOORHEAD, MIMI, April 10
Taking it for granted that county op-
ton will carry in the special election to
be held here May II, the saloon men
have revived the idea suggested sew
eral weeks ago of surrendering their
present licenses May Is and securing
new ones. The attorney general has
ruled that city councils of towns in
territory that has been voted dry can
not issue new licenses subsequent to
such elections. The county option law
permits the saloons to operate six
months after the election, provided
their licenses have that long tenure.
Get Lease of Life.
At present the Moorhead saloon
licenses expire July /. If the county
votes dry May II, these licenses could
not be renewed after July and the
town would go dry, but by surrender
ing the present licenses prior to the
county option election and securing
new licenses, saloons would then have
lease of life until Nov. II.
1t is said that half the members
Of the council favor the plan. Relying
on the license money no levy was made
to care for the expenses of the city
and there would not be sufficient funds
to carry the city over if all license
revenue ceased July l. For this rea-
son, many voters who are against the
permanent continuance of the saloon
favor the proposed plan. In fact, it
is contended that the extension of time
for the saloons in this manner would
result in many men voting for county
option who would otherwise oppose the
plan.

How 1t Happened.
It appears that the circumstances
of the case and the description Of the
man-such as age, place of convic-
ton, etc.-which came before the min
lister of justice, were those of the
prisoner from Hamilton. But in some
way the letter IN" had been put into
the name which made it that of the
prisoner from London. Therefore, in
stead of being Thomas Riley it was
Thomas NJ. Riley. The name and the
description went, in the usual course,
to the state department and following
traditional practise the state depart
ment made an order for the release
of the prisoner by name only, omit
ting the description. The peniten-
tiary officials, therefore, had nothing
to guide them but the name and they
obediently released Thomas NJ. Riley,
late of London, now of Missouri.
The riot act is being read in Of

the future there will be no more horses

New Pardon for Hamilton Man.
A new pardon will be made out for
the Hamilton Thomas Riley.
An effort will be made to have
Thomas M. Riley extradicted from the
United States and put back to COM
plete his sentence. However, the JUS
tice officials have little hope that this
will succeed. In fact, they are not
quite certain that they could return
Thomas M. Riley to Kingston, even if
he could be taken in Canada, so there
may be no extraditioo step.

BIWABK DOES
NOT FIGHT BILL
Village Always Has Kept Under
SIS Per Capita Limit
Proposed.

ST. PAUL, April 14.-F. S. Colvin,
president of the Biwabik village coun-
Gil, declares his village does not op-
pose the J. NJ. Harrison bill which
would limit the per capita expendi-
lures of Range towns to $25. His
statement, made because "Biwabik
has been included in a general way in
the various charges of extravaganza
and waste made against Range mining
towns" is contained in a letter to the
Dispatch received today. He declares
that the per capita expenditures since
1906 never have exceeded $13.
He says: 1.-THE reason for our att
tude toward the bill is that Biwabik
has obtained these last few years all
the improvements which any town
could desire, but at no time has this
village even approached the maximum
per capita expense which the Harrison
bill proposes.
Companies Pay 80 Per Cent.
"The mining companies pay 80 per
cent of our taxes, but they do not pro-
test against Biwabik for there has
been no waste. There are other Range
towns which have taken, like Biwabik,
only fair advantage of their immense
assessed valuations, and it will be
found that these towns are not pro-
testing against the Harrison bill.
Have Good improvements.
"Our main street is paved from end
to end. We have a splendid white
way. We are proud Of it. Our resi-
dence section is amply lighted. Our
sewer and water systems extend to
every place of business and dwelling
within our limits. We have village
hall which no town in the world would
need to be ashamed of. Cement side
walks extend all through our village.
In the center of the village we have as
pretty public park as one could de-
sire. Electric lights serve every build
ing in the village. Curb and gutter
do their share toward Identification Of
our streets. Not town on the Range
has better schools than Biwabik.
$4,000 In Bonds Out.
"These improvements, every one
mentioned here, have come to use since
1905. During this period we have is
sued total of $4,000 in bonds. Our
sewer and water systems, including
an immense water tank, cost $50, 165.
Our village hall cost the modest sum
of $4,000, but it is all village the
size of Biwabik could ask. Is cost US
$4,000 to pave our main street and
it was done we'll. Also we have a de-
tention home on which the village
spent $4,000. In addition to the $751;
$50 outstanding bonds the village debt
includes $4,000 outstanding sidewalk
warrants, half of which comes out Of
the general fund and half Of which
will be paid by abutting property
and $9,443 general purpose warrants
which will be taken up when taxes are
paid in July. This is not an appre-
cable indebtedness
