BIG CUT TO BE MADE BOARD OF WORKS WILL REDUCE YALIATIOJf OF SIBLEY STREET PROPERTY REDUCTION MAY BE $20,000 Action of Republican Board Will Be Reversed, and an Equitable Revaluation Is to Be Made. Property owners who will have to pay for the widening of Sibley street wi:l have at least a portion of their prayers answered by the board of public works. From HS.Oi'O to J20.0C0 will be stricken from the total valuation placej by the old Republican board. This decision was reached yesterday and on the advice of the legal department all proceedings in the matter were dropped for two weeks, when a special-meeting will be held, and all property owners interested called in to give their views. Despite vigorous protests, the Republic an board set a valuation of about £>6,<Xr) en the property to be taken, but before the assessment decided upon could be leg - alized injunction proceedings were com menced by some of the property ownera In two weeks an answer will be given by the court, and then the new ooard will be in a position to act. In their allegations the protesting par ties styled the action of the old board arbitrary and savoring of fraud. The present members of the Voard think the figures are decidedly high and their views are in lin« with a number of real estate men who have since passed upon the ac tion of the former board. Including the Como parkway assess ment district, this is the third time chat the new board has overruled the actions of its predecessors and a similar course is to be adopted in all other matters in which the new board thinks the rights of the property owners have not been re spected. Said a member of the present board yesterday: "This board is here for business, and not for some individual contractor or set of property owners. Every property owner that comes before us will have justice done him. There will be no arbi trary action, such as has prevailed in me past." OBJECT TO VERDICT FRIENDS OF AXTOX KACHEL WAXT HIS DEATH IXVESTI GATED MAY CAUSE A SENSATION Contended That Coroner's Jury Did Xot Present Verdict in Accord ance With Testimony—Evi dence of Physicians. There may be some sensational pro ceedings in connection with the case of Anton Kachel, the St. Paul man, who died at the St. Peter asylum three days after he was received there. On Friday the bnard of control received the report of the coroner's inquest, stating that death was due to hemmorhage of the brain, and not to the injuries received by the patient in his tussle with the keep ers. Tha coroner's report said that no ribs were broken. The asylum authori ties admitted that Kachel had been very violent, and that it had'required two men to control him. The board of control accepted the report, and said that unless further complaint was made no further action would be taken by the board. It now seems likely that there will be com plaint made and that it will be vigorous. Kachel's friends are not going to abido by the verJict of the inquest. They de clare that it is not in keeping with the facts. A transcript of the testimony at the inquest states that five ribs were troken. Dr. Daniels also said that one of Rachel's lungs had collapsed. Kachel's friends assert that this evidence tends to prove violent treatment by the hospi tal attendants. Here is a portion of the testimony on which they will base their claims for thorough investigation: Wliat the Doctors Said. Dr. D. A. Nicholson, being duly t-worn, according to law, says: "I am assistant physician at St. Peter State hospital. The name of the person dead is Anton Kachl He was committed to the hospital the morning of Feb. 3. Did not see him for a few hours after he came. He was placed in the sick room when he came. He was a German, thirty-five years old; height, five feet five inches; weight, 134 pounds; his residence was in Lake Prai rie, Nicollet county, Minn. (History of case read, on file at St. Peter State hos pital.) He was put to bed, cared for by Nurses Mr. Rlddler and J. S. Bickell. Mr. Riddler is a graduate nurse; has been in the hospital three years. Riddler has been in sick room about six months. Mr. Bickell about a month in sick room. Pa tient was very much disturbed, noisy, restless, excited part of the time. He was held in bed by nurses to keep him from injuring himself and destroying things in the room. He was given medi cine to quiet him, and at night was given medicine to put him to sleep. The head man in the sick room was Mr. Beck er, who was there all the time. Someone was with Mr. Kachel all the time; not al ways in his room, but the door was al ways open. While here he slept very poorly. The next day, the fourth, I tried to examine him, but he was so much disturbed that the examination was very unsatisfactory. During the examination we found several bruises and discolored spots about the body, the arms and the legs. These were the only ones found on the 4th. There was no blood found on the body. They were just bruises, black and blue spots, a common thing from holding: I don't remember any bruises or spots on his back-. Saw his back" Saturday; do not recall any. I put adhesive plaster on his chest towards the left side Friday morning. There was a fracture of the second and third, and, perhaps, of the fifth ribs The second and third ribs were fractured about an inch and a half to the left of the sternum. There were small bruises on the chest when he came into the hos- Pa - a 1 went over the Patient carefully on Wednesday, but did not find the frac tured ribs.

MAY START NEW SUIT DOUGLAS LIKELY TO INSTITUTE PROCEEDINGS AGAJXST MERGER. Unless the plans of the state legal de partment are again disarranged, Attor* ney General Douglas will begin another "merger' suit within a few days, prob ably this week. This time he wfll tackle the state courts. Gov. Van Sant has urged the matter, and does not want any further delays. The suit will be filed in the district court at either St. Pau! or Minneapolis, and will take the lorm of an application for an injunction to re strain the Northern Securities company from voting the stock of either the Great Northern cr Northern Pacific roads. The general purpose is to secure jurisdiction on behalf of the state. The attorney general is not at all sure of his ground, but is willing to try once again. If he is defeated again, he says he will adopt a new tack, as he still has several meth ods up his sleeve. LOTTERY IS UNFAIR MAYOR CAMPBEL-L OPPOSES OKLA HOMA METHOD OF OPENING REB LAKE LAXDS SPECULATORS WILL PROFIT Would Place Bona Fide Settlers at a Disadvantage Should -■-■ Have Been Opened Long Ajju, ; - Since Maj. McLaughlin concluded his famous treaty with the Red Lake reser vation Indians, there has been consider able speculation as to the plan of open ing the ceded lands for settlement. A great many persons have favored the adoption of the lottery system. Mayor Campbell, of Crookston, however, is very much opposed to this plan. In discussing it he says: The history of the various plans adopt ed by the department in the matter of opening government lands to homestead settlement and entry in the United States leads me to believe that the late so-call ed "lottery plan" in Oklahoma failg to meet that- standard of excellence whi^h its promoters had In view, and certainly falls far short of the wishes of a urj' large portion of the actual bona fide homestead settlers who desired to secure homes on said lands. The "lottery plan" is one of speculaii >n, pure and simpie. And, while it may fee true that the actual bona tide settler may have the same chance to win a home fetead as any other person, those who do not wish to, and would not comply with the conditions of the homestead law, are so clearly in the majority that the chance of the homesteader against the speculator would, in my judgment, be only about 100 to 1 in favor of the latter. If anyone doubts the truth of this prop osition, let him but take the records of the land offices in Oklahoma where en tries have been made or selections allow ed under the provisions of the so-called lottery plan, and he will find that its his tory is one of barter and sale from first to last. If the lottery' Plan to be adopt ed In the matter of the opening of these lands in question is to prevail, in - jny judgment the plan should be so amended that every applicant should deposit the fees and commissions required to make entry at the time he makes his applica tion for a ticket in the drawing, and that all entries relinquished should re vert to the government and only there after be disposed of to those who might show by duly coTro-borated affidavits that they had actually resided upon and made their home upon the lands so relinquish ed for a period of at least three months before applying to make entry. and that no entries be until an actual resi dence of at least three months was clear ly established by the applicant. If this was done. Thief River Falls and North ern Minnesota might rest assured that only actual settlers would avail them selves of the opportunity to secure homes there. The benefits of such settlers are obvious. I regard the usual plan of opening gov ernment lands as giving more general satisfaction than that of the lottery plan, and unless the same Is modified so ~v?ry right of the actual settler Is protected against the speculator it would be bet ter to adopt the older method of dispos ing of these lands.

After spending; many weeks in discus sion of the question whether to equip the county jail with a heating and light ing plant which will supply the needs of that building or install there a plant which will also heat and light the city and county building, and securing esti mates of original cost and expense of maintenance the county commissioners are still undecided, and will take further time to the matter. Commissioner Webster as chairman of the special committee appointed to ascer tain the cost of maintaining the different kinds of plants under consideration re ported to the commissioners yesterday that ne had estimates from two different sources. The stationary engineers' union reported that a plant to heat ti.e jail and the city and county building would entail an outlay of $13,515 a year for running- ex penses. The items upon which that esti mate was based were 2,800 tons of coal for the seven months when heat would be re qu..ed, and 265 tons for the other five mom..:, $1,500 a year for .he salary of a chief engineer; JS4O each for two assist ants and $720 each for two enigneers TfTi union offered to furnish bonds to guarantee that the plant could be run for the amount named in the most severe winter. The International Union of Steam Engineers estimated that fuel for the plant would cost $T,542, a year labor $3,880 and incidental expenses $660. This union figured on seven men instead of five for the reason that they would only work eignc hours a day. After a long discussion which was not productive of anything particularly new. the committee was granted two weeks longer to investigate the matter o: and make comparison with the present expense of heating and lighting the city and county building. J. H. Donohue. the contractor who has m charge the buildng of the new jail re ported that the work was at a standstill because of delay on the part of th< • Jail company of St. Louis in the shipment of the mat-rial for the floors and cells The board instructed Mr. Donohue to go at once to St. Louis and ascertain the cause of the delay and to hurry the ship ment of the material as much as possible DARiNCTOURISTSUFFERS DE WINDT BRAVES COLD AND FASI -IXE OX SIBERIAN TRIP.

Hill and Also Bryan Sec Necessity of Showing Business Interests of i'onutry That Party Is Conservative. FROM THE GLOBE BIKI \l. Washington. D. C. WASHINGTON, March Democrats in congress intend to move cautiously In the selection of members of tha congressional campaign committee. There are many members who would be quite willing- to take the place and to wear it as political decoration. This is not what is wanted. Far-Bigoted members see that determina tion of control of the next congress will depend largely on the selections made for the committee, and that to capture the majority in the house of representatives might decide the next presidential cam paign. Therefore it is the advice of men like Gorman, Hill, and even Bryan, that nothing be done in haste. What is warned is a man who will take the first step toward convincing' the financial interests of the country that the Democratic party is a party of conserva tism and safety. The failure of the | in the past has been largely due to the disturst of business Interests. In the congressional campaign it is ex ■pected to show that Dem - ad for constitutional liberty and government in the Interests of the people as distinguish ed from government controlled exciu by trusts.

Mr. Dubois (Idaho) presented a petition from the American chamber of commi rce at Manila saying it was a "significant fact" that this was the second petition from that organization urging that the restriction of Chinese coolie labor 1 c re moved. Mr. Dubois added that testimony before the Philippine commission indicat ed that the Philippine islands could not be developed without Chinese labor. Mr. Hoar (Mass.)
