Rear Admiral Schley and Colonel Mc Clure were the guests of the legislature this afternoon. They we re brought to the capitol at 2:15 a nd escorted to the house chamber by a committee. The houses as sembled in joint session, listened to short addresses by both the distinguished gen tlemen. There was an informal reception afterward in the governor's office. The admiral made himself popular with 350 students of Hamlineuniversity when, in addressing them to-day, he said: "I remember that in the days, of my studies my love' for them seemed to in crease as the square root of my distance from them." The young men and women who packed the chapel of the university voiced their agreement with this sentiment so vo ciferously that the speaker was unable to continue his address for several minutes. T he visit to the university was in every way a notable incident in the visit of the distinguished naval officer to the twin cities, for a more demonstrative, hearty and whole-souled welcome it would ha ve been hard to conceive. From the moment the admiral's party entered the chapel until his car rounded the corner of the college campus on the way back, the students enlivened the pro ceedings with college yells and repeated cheers for the "man who looped the loop." A t the university the party was ush ered into the parlor and thence Into the chapel, in which 350 students a nd 200 prominuent residents of Hamli ne were crowded. T he entrance of the. admiral was the signal for a prolonged outbur st of cheering, after which "America" was sung, all in the chapel remaining stand ing. Admiral Schley was greeted along the route with every sign of popular approval, and the gallant sailor exhibited great pleasure at the enthusiastic cheers which saluted him. This evening the admiral's .party will attend the performance of "Martha" at the Metropolitan, St. Paul. Last evening Admiral- Schley made a short address before the Minnesota. Bar association at their annual banquet at the Aberdeen. A t the conclusion the guests joined in singing "America." Admiral Schley also atttnded a reception at the Commercial club.

Differences between the board of edu cation a nd the owners of some property adjacent to Bryant school, at Third ave nue S a nd Thirty-seventh street, may in terfere with the plans to enlarge Bryant school by the erecting of an eight-room addition. T he property owners will not sel lthe two lots which the board desires to purchase, but seem to be trying" to force the board to take four lots or none, at $375 per lot. A t a, meeting of. the board yesterday it was votetd to offer $1,200 for the four lets, but the offer was rejected. T he boarQ may now erect' an eight-room addition to the Horace Mann school a nd abandon, for the .present, the proposed improvements to the Bryant school. A communication from a resident of the Calhoun school protested against the neg lect of the Calhoun school, which it is as serted, needs an addition and the in stalling of higher grades. "She writer closed his communication with the state ment that if the people of the Calhoun dis trict had known that the board Q? edu cation would refuse to consider plans for the improvement of their school this year, a petition would ha ve been pre sented "that would make your hair stand." . -, J .:,:' T he board decided to advertise for bids for a site in the Laurel school district, but as $146,000 of the $200,000. bond issue has already been used,. it is likely that the Laurel school wil loccupy rented quar ters for another year."

Gulliokson Says He Was Told to Get a Hold-Up Under Members of the grand ju ry are likely to hear some interesting details in regard to the use of "stool pigeons" by the police, if David Gullicksoh appears before them to testify concerning the recent saloon robbery in which William Catlin and De tectives Vaughn and3orman figured. It is understood that the inquisitors are working oh the case and that the youth will in air probability be called. "I didn't know what I was getting into when I helped the detectives," said Gul lickson, this morning. - "The whole thing started when I was arrested on suspicion of being with the boys who robbed the Plymou th Clothing Store of furs. De tectives Vaughn and Gorman came to me then and told me they would get me out all right, but that I would have to help them if they did. I didn't have anything to do with the furs, and so of course I was discharged. After I was out, the de tectives came to me and told me they had done their part a nd I would have to do mine. All I had to do was to get the fellows to do a job, put the detectives on and I was to get $5 for each deal. They want ed me to get a certain man to hold up some parties, but I thought that wasn't right and refused. "Joe Morris "came to me a little later a nd asked"hie to go into a deal with him, and he showed me the saloon we would tackle. I told the officers, and they land ed Morris and Frank Webster. I disap peared all right, and afterwards they bought me a pair of shoes but didn't, give me the $5. '" : "Then Catlin came to me and made the same kind of a proposition, a nd I agreed. W e picked out the saloon, on the island, I notified the officers a nd went with Cat lin to do the jxb H e was arrested. I did not go near the building at all, but here I am.

OFFICERS DISMISSED Messrs. Gorman and Vaughn Charged with Using Stool Pigeons. y Levi R. Gorman and W . ,C. Vaughn, the two detectives who were Implicated in the use of a stool pigeon in catching crim inals, were dismissed from the police force yesterday by Mayor J. C. Haynes at the request of Superintendent of Police E d J. Conroy. This action was taken to show the administration's disapproval of the custom. The incident, which was responsible for the dismissal of the two detectives was the arrest, by Patrolman Fox of the East Side police station, of David Gul lickson, who was, associated with Wil liam Catlin in the burglary of the saloon f A. F . Rioux, 24 Central avenue. Gul lickson had previously "tipped" the affair to Gorman a nd Vaughn, a nd they were on hand and arrested Catlin only. The matter was brought to the atten tion of Superintendent Conroy and he refused to order the release of Gullick son, but referred the whole matter to the county attorney. Complaints were sworn out against both men a nd Jud ge Dick inson held both of them to the grand jury. Gullickson made startling statements which reached the ears of Chief Conroy. Among these statements was one that he h ad a standing contract' with the de tectives whereby he was paid $5 for every criminal he led into their clutches. Chief Conroy investigated the report and con cluded that the department could be con ducted without the assistance of Gorman a nd Vaughn.

I selected the judges be cause everyone of them h ad a national reputation, not only., as an expert gym nast, but also as a competent and impar tial judge.

Must Have That Human 's-T Finger Mascot. He Declares That It Brought Him Luck in Shooting Craps. likely to An embalmed human finger is the bizare little luck piece which "Benny" Gates, the colored man accused of steal ing the Jacobs diamonds, carried before his arrest in Montana. The man, who is a prisoner in the county jail, still has faith in the efficacy of the charm. H e ex presses anxiety as to the finger's safety, and declares that he surely must get it back. 7 The dainty little ornament, which for oddity has every known lucky charm beaten, is now in the possession of De tective Morrissey, and from the present prospect seems likely to remain there. T he finger, which apepars to be that of a ma n, is perfectly preserved .and altho darkened somewhat, still shows conclu sively that it was once part of a white person. T he prisoner, who was indicted by the grand jury this morning on the charge of grand larceny, is uncommunicative, but declares, that he h ad bought his eleventh finger from a white man in this city on the promise of paying him $5. The man's name is alleged to be unknown, and aGtes states that as yet he had not paid him the purchase price. H e claims to know nothing about its history. "Why did you want the finger?" was asked. "To bring me luck." "Well, did it accomplish its purpose?" "You, see, suh I never paid much at tention to it, but it made me lucky when I was a shootin' craps." "Do you think it is responsible for bringing you the good luck you a re now enjoying?" "I don't know, suh. I don't know what brought me this luck, which seems d-^-d b ad to me." "But you want the finger back, never theless, don't you?" "You bet I want it back I've got to get it back." "Did you ever hear of any other per son who carried that kind of a charm?" "Well, yes, suh. I knowed a woman who h ad one." "A colored woman?" "No, suh." "Did it bring her good luck?" " I reckon it did, suh." offices MAKES REPLY TO ICE CO. Frank C. Scott Calls the Cedar Lake Ice Company's Statements in Question. With reference to the lowering of Cedar lake by ice cutting a nd more particularly to the statement of. the Cedar Lake Ice company, published last Saturday, Frank C. Scott makes the following statement: . "It.is stated that Cedar lake has been lowered only 4% feet in the last eighteen years that Cedar lake never had a surface outlet th at 30,000 tons of ice is the most ever cut per year by all companies from Cedar lake that there is a subterranean outlet. ' - ., . .-,,'.. "As to the first, it can be verified by many witnesses that the lake has been lowered seven feet within the last four teen years, I myself and the others can swear as to this. "As to the second statement, the sur face outlet of Cedar lake passed within 150 feet of the Cedar Lake icehouse and run through the gap into Bryn Mawr. Part of this outlet can be seen to-day, the balance formerly being where the railroad tracks a re laid. The lake has been lowered some nine feet below the level necessary to run through this outlet. "As to statement No. 3, it may be said that last year the capacity of the Cedar Lake house was 45,000 tons a nd in the fall an addition holding 6,000 tons was built, making a total capacity for this one company for storing at the lake 51,000 tons of ice, or 14,209,170 gallons of water. It is fair to assume that 45,000 tons was not sufficient or else this addition would not have been built. , Besides this com pany, there we re four other companies cutting ice on Cedar lake last - winter and removing their ice directly to the city by car and wagon. My estimate for the cutting of these last four companies was 50,000 tons, which, together with the capacity of the Cedar Lake ice house, would aggregate 101,000 tons as against 30,000 in the Cedar Lake company's state ment. "The above company's statement says that 30,000 tons is equivalent to lowering the lake 1% inches. Should this be the fact, 101,000 tons would lower it some thing over 4% inches. "As to the fourth assertion, any subter ranean outlet is purely a matter of con jecture and speculation. There can be no positive evidence of such a fact. "The writer of the ice company's state ment admits that the lake has been low ered 3 inches per year and that half of this, or 1% inches, is due to ice cutting, and yet this contradictory statement is made: 'Its level would have been the same if no ice company had ever tres passed upon its crystal surface.' "If the writer of the ice company's statement is correct a nd the lake has been lowered only 4% feet In eighteen years, and half of this is due to ice cutting, then 2% feet of this is due to ice cutting. "As a matter of fact, upon a careful ex amination a nd investigation, the lake will be found to have once had a surface out let running -within the last twenty-five years it will be found to have been lowered 7 feet in fourteen years, the ice cut by the ice companies each year will be found to exceed 100,000 tons for the last season a nd the lake to have been lowered thereby about 4 inches in one year by ice cutting alone. I have lived on the shores of this lake since 1868."

T he malcontents critlcizs their princi pals because he has refused to call the students together in the assembly hall to announce various athletic events, and also because, as they assert, he is the only twin city principal who did not at tend the . indoor fhterscholastic athletic meet at the university armory a few weeks I *.. professor ozais this morning admitted j Another Domestic Is Desperately As- some of t h charges, but denied that he ever tried to discourage athletics. Ho said: "This Criticism, I suppose, arises out of the fact that permission was refused ihe students to use the assembly room of the school for an entertainment for the benefit of the athletic association. Up to a few years-ago, annual memorial plays were given in the various high schools, but Dr. Jordan, deeming that plays containing love passages did not have a good influence upon the students, prohibited them. "A few weeks ago I was asked whether t h eassembly hall could be used for an entertainment for the benttlt of the ath letic association. I asked what the nature of this entertainment would be, a nd found that it consisted in part, of a play of the class which Dr. oJrdan had placed under the ban. " I told the boys that I did not think Dr, Jordan would agree to their using the halls, but advised them to see him personally. They did so, and he refused his permission. Then the students hired Dania hall. "I allowed them to post placards adver tising the affair, in the halls of the school, but in view of the fact that the play to be given was of a class not ap proved by Dr. Jordan, did not think it best to call the scholars to the assembly hall to urge their attendance. "A little dissatisfaction has arisen be cause I declined to take an active part, in support of the basket ball team this win ter. The high school authorities of the city have agreed upon a set of rules to govern school athletics. Among the most important the those which require every member of an ath letic te am must secure the consent of his parents to play that he must mainta in a creditable standing in his studies. The latter rule aroused a little feeling last fall in the football season. "At the beginning of the bask et ball season I called the boys together and asked them whether they wished to run the basket ball team independently, in which case it would not be necessary for them to conform to these rules, or to conform to the rules and insure the sup port of the school as a whole. "Th ey elected to run the team independ ently, and since they chose not to con form to the rules governing high-school athletics, I considered that the team was independent of the school as a whole, and that it was not my duty to take an active part either in supporting the team or in opposing it. , "I did not attend the indoor meet at the university because it was not possible for me to be present. -I did not remain away because of. any lack of interest in the team."
