Underground Electric-Wire Ordinance Passed vby Council, and Extensive Scheme for Burying Wires to Be in Operation at OnceGas Price Re duction Is Accepted, Two resolutions looking toward mu nicipal control of street lighting were offered at the council meeting last eve ning. One by Alderman G. A. West phal provides for submitting to the vote of the people, at the coming elec tion, a proposition to issue bonds to the amount of $1,500,000 for the acqui sition of the gas plant of the Minne apolis Gas Light company. The other, by Alderman F. H. Castner, directs the inspector of gas to prepare specifica tions for lampheads with incandescent attachments and to advertise for bids. Both resolutions were referred to the committee on gas without comment. The offer of the Minneapolis Gas Light company to reduce the price of metered gas from $1.10 to $1 and of gas for .street lighting from 95 cents to 90 cents, was accepted by a vote of 18 to 7. The vote on accepting the offer was as follows: AyesGerber, Byan, Satterlee, Nye, Mumm, Starkweather, Hertig, Holmes, Band, Vaughan, McLaskey, Walker, Anqmst, Petterson, Bow, Van Nest, Schoonmaker, President Merrill18. NaysNelson. Clark, McCoy, Cast ner, Duryea, Westphal, Ehle7. Tiere was no debate. Alderman Castner wanted the matter sent back to the special eommittee for further consideration, arguing that the reduc tion in the price of gas for street lighting was not in proportion to the other reduction, and that the gas com pany should do better than 90 cents but no one replied to him and his prop osition did not obtain enough votes to have any effect. Wires Go Underground. The new ordinance regulating the in stallation and maintenance of electric wires and defining the duties of the recently created position of inspector of outside electric wires was passed. The measure is a long one and an ef fort was made to dispense with the reading, but Alderman Lars M. Band insisted on having it read. There was a good deal of a wrangle over the mat ter and the reading was interrupted by renewed motions to suspend the rules. After listening for ten minutes to a mass of technical matter which none understood, the opposition to a suspen sion of the rule dwindled away. It is proposed to begin in the center of the city with the burial of electric wires. The movement includes not only pole lines, but all overhead wires from distributing masts and over build ings. The work will begin within the district bounded by Washington ave nue, First avenue N, Fifth street and First avenue S. All wires in this ter ritory must be put out of sight this year. Outside of this, another district is created in which all wires crossing streets must 'be taken down, but dis tributing poles placed in the alleys may be used. This district is bounded by the river, Third avenue N, Seventh street and Third avenue S. Within the larger district the Northwestern General Electric company has 14,852 feet of pole lines the Northwestern Telephone company, 7,560 feet, and the Twin City Telephone company, 700 feet. Employment Agencies. In the matter of ridding the down town streets of employment agencies, the council went even further than the committee on licenses, which confined its work to Nicollet and Hennepin avenues. The council granted only five of nineteen applications, and the five agencies are some distance from Nicol let and Hennepin. The Penny Arcade, 418 Nicollet ave nue, was refused a museum license at the request of property owners and merchants on Nicollet. Arrangements were made with the Soo road for transporting garbage to the new crematory on the workhouse grounds. The railway company is au thorized to establish a receiving sta tion along its right of way at Four teenth avenue N and to construct a spur track in Dupont avenue from its main line to the workhouse grounds. The rate is 15 cents a ton. A communication from the state live stock sanitary board, calling attention to the order of the board condemning open water troughs in the streets, was referred to the committee on health and hospitals. The state board finds that public horse fountains are a prolific source of glanders among horses. To Sprinkle Hennepin. On motion of Alderman Piatt B. Walker, temporary arrangements were made with the park board for sprink ling Hennepin avenue during the com ing season. It is specifically agreed that this action shall not prejudice the interests of the park board in the suit brought by certain property owners to compel the board to retain control of Hennepin avenue. Alderman Frank L.* Schoonmaker pre sented an amendment to the ordinance requiring automobile chauffeurs to take out individual licenses providing for the repeal of the section imposing a license fee of 50 cents. As the auto mobile owners already pay, a fee of $2 on their machines, it was agreed that no other fees were necessary. Alderman J. H. Duryea gave notice of an ordinance requiring that all streets in newly platted additions be graded before the plats are approved. It was decided to supply old granite blocks for paving Washington avenue N in the lumber yard district, provided the money for the expense of the pav ing was advanced. Authority was given the chief en gineer of the fire department to erect a warehouse adjoining the Cataract en gine house on Second street SB at a cost of $3,000, and to expend $150 for a lot for an engine house at Hiawatha avenue and Forty-fifth street. A claim of $600 by Public Exam iner P. M. Kerst for auditing the books of the city waB ordered paid. Season on at Tonka. The summer season will be 0%. in full blast tomorrow at Excelsior.

V.r^,THE MINNEAPOLIS JOURNAL. CHILD IS KILLED AUTO DRIER FREE C. J. BLYTHIN'S MACHINE BUNS OVER LITTLE LOUISE PAINTER. Daughter of Adams School Principal Is Victim of AccidentMan at the Helm Is Arrested and Later Bis missed in Police Court, the Father Refusing to Appear. 0. J. Blythin, who was placed under nominal arrest last night, after tho death of little Louise Painter, who had been run over by an automobile driven by Mr. Blythin, was dismissed this morning on motion of Assistant County Attorney Elmer Gray, Mr. Painter, father of the child, having refused to take any action against him. Louise Painter,^ the 10-year-old daugh ter of D. H. Painter, principal of the Adams school, was run over and fatal ly injured by an automobile operated by Mr. Blythin, while she was playing in the street near Fifteenth avenue SE and Fourth street, last evening. The child died an hour after the accident and Mr. Blythin was arrested on a charge of manslaughter, after giving himself up to the police. He was aT lowed to remain at his home. According to the story of witnesses of the accident, it was unavoidable, as the automobile was not going faster than six miles an hour. Louise Painter had been visiting her aunt, Mrs. J. H. Steele, on the East Side, and last even ing she and her aunt were in a crowd standing about a popcorn wagon on Fifth street. The automobile, driven by Mr. Blythin, who was accompanied by Nels Swanberg, a chauffeur, came down Fourteenth avenue and turned into Fifth street. Several children were in the street and Louise was one of tusnx. Most of them T&XL directly to the curb, but Louise was bewildered and started acrosslfche street, runninsr directly in front of the machine. She was knocked down and the rear wheel passed over her head, altho Mr. Blvthin stopped the machine as soon as possible. Picked Up the Child. Blytljin and Swanberg ran the auto back and, picking up the unconscious child, placed her in the seat and car ried her to Dr. H. L. Williams' office at Fourteenth avenue and Fourth street SE. Nothing could be done for her, and she died an hour later without re gaining consciousness. In the meantime, Swanberg, bv Bly thin 's orders, had gone to Mr. Painter 'A residence to bring him to his daughter, but he found Mr. Painter had gone to visit friends. Swanberg finally found the family, however, and ttJbk him to Dr. Williams' office, but the child had away. As soon as he was notified of the girl's death, Mr. Blythin gave himself up to the police. He was completely unnerved by the accident. He was taken to his home by Detective Derrick of the East Side station. Bonds were obtained and the detec tive left Mr. Blythin in care of a phy sician. Louise Painter was to have become a member of the First Baptist church tomorrow evening, liaving been ac cepted at the regular prayer meeting Thursday evening. She lived with her parents at 725 Ea^t FrankJin avenue. Dr. Biley on the Accident. Deeply moved by the accident, Bev. W. B. Riley of the First Baptist church has sent the following to The Jour nal: To the Editor of The Journal. The running- down and killing of Professor D. H. Painter's Uttle 10-year-old daughter at the corner of Fourteenth avenue and Fifth street SB, last evening, brings an occasion, first of all for a correct report of the accident and further, for remarks on the general subject of automo bile running. By the statement of Carl Painter, *he elder brother of Louise, who was present and wit nessed the entire affair, the facts are these. Mr. Steele, the aunt with whom Louise was visiting, was out walking with her Uttle nephew and niece and a young lady. They were cross ing the street at the regular crossing. As the automobile approached Mrs. Steele noticed that Louisa was behind and called to her. The child seemed somewhat confused and finally started toward the auntie. The ~horn on the automobile was out of order, or was not worked, but some one in the automobile called to the chUd, which probably the mote confused her. When the front of the car struck her and knocked her down Carl says he saw her rise up, \KJX -ortYCYi. ie tMLcte -wta.\ strxicTs. liec knocked her down he turned his face away and saw no more until the child was picked up, her skull broken. Carl says that the car was moving at about the rate that automobiles commonly go thru the streets. This accident, however, certainly gives occa sion for some remarks that ought to be made. The report that the car was moving at the rate of six miles an hour will hardly be believed by the reading public The average good horse makes with comparative ease ten miles an hour, for the first hour or two on a smooth road, six miles an hour brisk walking only and yet we find that our horses are passed by automobiles as if they were standing stiU. From observa tion I do not believe that one car in fifty stays within the limit prescribed by law. Again, I think it will be conceded by all who are familiar with the use of cars that if this one had been moving at the rate of six miles an hour when the danger was seen, it could have been stopped within a very few feet on the contrary it went considerable distance be yond her before it could be brought to a stand still. Again, a car moving at six miles an hour can be turned at a right angle with no great incon venience, altho with possible injury to the car. One of our citizens, recently, running at a high rate of speed, seeing that he must either turn, or run down an old lady, turned short and went under his car, carrying away sis personal scars as a mark of his manhood. Now for some facts that come daily under the eyes of the writer I lire on Kenwood park way. The utmost disregard of the la\* limiting speed is common on this parkVay. Within ten days I passed a company of six men in an au tomobile coming' down the Kenwood parkway hHl toward the citv, running at a rate of not less than thirty miles an hour, and I am convinced that they Were going at the rate of fully forty miles and at the top of Kenwood hill they cut loose at full speed turned on the whistle and ran whistling as an engine does coming into a city, round the curves of that road. A lead ing manager of bill-posters was one of that company. A young man in this city who has inherited more money than mind goes thru Ken wood every day or two at a rate of twenty to thirty miles an hour. Both of these cases were reported by the park police, but I have, seen no report of their trial and none of their convic tion. It seems quite impossible that the people will longer endure the running of heavy engines thru the streets of our city at such a rate, and I want to Suggest that the men who are tired of this violation of law which so easily becomes criminal, even to the point of manslaughter, shall personally pledge themselves both to make complaint and to appear In the court as wit nesses until this sort of thing is stopped. I am perfectly willing to give my testimony concern ing the incidents referred to above, and I pro pose to make it my business to join with the police and every good citizen in seeing that the lives of our children are not daily endangered. However bitter may be the remorse of the man who committed the deed of killing a child by the running of an automobile this is%hardly the time to be exciting sympathy for the auto mobilist. I confess that my heart goes out in stead to those who are bereft. I shall change the theme of tomorrow evening's sermon and speak on "The Sanctity of Human Life or the Keeping of the Sixth Commandment." Let us hope .that no more reckless and criminal driv ing of cars by Incompetents shall be excused in courts We need an example made of a few, and others will take warning. **&** Po maigestion HOBSFOBD'S ACID PHOSPHATE An effective remedy for bosctinate indigestion, nervous dyspepsia, Jheadache and depression. !Pflrt&"&$8 SNELLING TROOPS TO GO TO FRISCO WAB DEPARTMENT ORDERS 28th REGIMENT TO STRICKEN CITY. The Regiment Is in Line for Service in the Philippines Next Year and May Not Return to Minnesota Small Detail Will Be Left to Care for Post. Under orders received at Fort Snell ing from the war department the ten companies of the Twenty-eighth infan try now stationed at the post are to leave at once for San Francisco for ac tive duty in relief of the forces now on duty. As the regiment is in line for service in the Philippines next fall, it may not return to Fort Snelling before leaving for Manila. A small detail from each company, making a total of not more than fifty men, is to be left at the post to care for the company quar ters and gardens and .look after the property. The force that will leave will consist of thirty officers and 575 men. Colonel J. Owen Sweet, commanding the regi ment, is now acting as commander of the department of the Dakota, but will leave with his regiment. His place as commander of the department will be filled bv^Colonel Daniel Cornman of the Seventh infantry, now stationed at Fort Harrison. The regiment will go in heavy march ing order with-, thirty days' rations. Each man will carry his campaign hats, change of shoes and underwear, mess kit, Dlanket roll, belt with ninety rounds of ammunition, haversack and rifle. The personal belongings will follow as baggage. The tents of the regiment are now either on their way or in San Francisco, liaving been or dered to the front a week ago as a part of the first government relief. Orders have been issued to other posts for tents, but it is doubtful if they arrive in time for use by the regiment on its arrival. The two other companies of the Twenty-eighth now stationed at Fort Lincoln have not yet been ordered to the front. If the war department de cides to keep the ten companies from Snelling on the coast until time for sail ing next fall, some other regiment will probably be stationed at the fort. The families of the regiment will remain at the post for a time, at least. More pure India rubberpmore wear more style. Foot-Schulze Glove rub bers.

According to the story of the chil dren, the girl was returning home from school wlien she met Lyons and several other boys. Lyons threatened to cut off Margaret's ear, and the girl, in running frdm him, fell into a barbed wire fence. She alleges that after she had fallen, the boy struck her several times with the knife. On the other hand, he says all her injuries were re ceived by falling into the fence. He was arrested last night on a war rant. He is 14 years old and has a good reputation in the village.
