BURNS ARE FATAL Young Girl Meets a Terrible Fate While Attempting to Put Out a Fire SHE CANNOT RECOVER Threw Lighted Match ok Floor and Carpet Caught Fire, and She Tried to Stamp It Out, When Clothing Caught. Christine Olson, 22 years old, a domestic employed over 440 Robert street, was fatally burned last night in attempting to stamp out a fire in the carpet caused by her throwing down a lighted match. She was taken to the city hospital in the patrol wagon, horribly burned from the soles of her feet to her head. An examination showed that she could live but a few hours at the best, although the physicians said that she might linger until morning. She was suffering the keenest agony. The girl was alone in the apartments last night and about 9 o'clock P. F. Fil bin, who runs a saloon at 440 Robert street, heard a woman shrieking. At that moment he was engaged in serving some customers and as soon as he could get away he rushed up stairs. He found the girl seated on the steps a mass of flames. She was panic stricken and did nothing but shriek. Filbin tore her clothes off as fast as he could, sustain ing severe burns about the wrists in doing so. Dr. Dohm was immediately sent for," and the central wagon took the unfortu nate girl to the city hospital. Officer Costello arrived up stairs about the same time as Pilbin, and the two did every thing they could for her. Was LiKhtins; a Lnmp. She was able to talk in the patrol wag on and told the officers that she was lighting a lamp, and as soon as she was through with the match threw it on the floor supposing that it was out. Turning around she saw the carpet was on fire and as the blaze was apparently insignifi cant she tried to stamp it out. She was dressed in a light wrapper and in tread ing over the fire the wrapper became ig nited, and- blazed up like powder. Before she realized that she was on fire she was completely enveloped in the flames. Dr. Dohm was of the opinion that the girl had attempted to light a stove with kerosene oil, and that it puffed out on her, but the girl insisted that she was lighting a lamp and as the soles of her slippers are charred, it is probable that she was telling the truth. The girl was burned up to her face and her hair waS partially burned off. At midnight last night the physicians at the city hospital said there was no hope for her recovery. FIND TROUSSEAU IN AN ICE BOX IN BARN Mrs. Liiiaiekc Suing Mother to Gain Possession of Her Clothe*. Mrs. Annetta M. TJndeke. wife of Mi- j chael Lindeke, a barfoer, and her par- i ents, Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Stolurow, i were the principal parties in a novel re plevin action brought before Justice Hoff yesterday. The suit was brought ' by Mrs. Lindeke, the daughter, to recover possession of clothes which she alleges ! belong to her and are being retained by her parents. Deputy Sheriff Werrick was sent to the parents' home with a writ ot replevin, and after a diligent search found! the clothes in question in an ice box in a barn in the rear of the Stolu row home. 445 Rice street. According to the daughter, she left her home about a month ago to marry Lindeke. She is six teen years old, and the parents, however, objected to the marriage on account of her ;ge. In spite of this obstacle the two were married a few days later. On the stand yesterday Mrs. Stolurow alleged that some of the articles claimed by the '^i-'hter were the property of another married daughter who lives in Minneap olis. The rase will be resumed before Justice Hoff this morning. MAY AWAIT SUPREME COURT'S DECISION Case of Prohibitionists in District Court Likely to Be Held for a Few Days. In the 'case of the appeal of the Pro hibitionists for a place on the May elec tion ballot, either a decision will be given by Judge Jaggard today, or the matter will be postponed until after the supreme court has passed on a similar question now before it. The question, while not exactly similar is one in which the Prohibitionists of St Paul are interested, being on the point whether a convention nomination is regu lar and legal. No final decision has eve been given on this point, and Judge Jagl gard: has intimated that it may necessi tate his postponing the present matter until after the 10th.

GEDNEY SWITCH SPUR MAY NOT BE BUILT Influential Citizens to Take the Mat ter Ip, Hoping to Find Peace able Solution. There is a possibility that the Gedney Pickling works' railroad switch, which Dr. Ohage objects to as detrimental to the future of the public baths, will not" be built. Men are now at work arrang ing for its construction, but if influen tial persuasion now on prevails, it will be abandoned. Though Dr. Ohage intimated it. the company will not be enjoined from lay ing the track. The city would loose and the legal department does not care to undertake it for this reason. While the island was in Dr. Ohage's charge thl-s might have been done, but it is now the property of the city, and the council has tied its hands by giving the giant for the track. A way out of the diffi culty has Deen proposed, in which a num ber of citizens will interest themselves, and the city be made a co-defendant, in stead of a plaintiff. The principal objection lodged against the track is that it will spoil the boule vard which the board of park commis sioners proposes to make along- the fill between the island and the Wabasha street bridge. BOND ISSUE FOR SEWERS $150,000 NEEDED TO ACCOMMO DATE OUTLYING DISTRICTS General Opinion I* That Extension of System Must Be Paid fop T»y ■ J.sMiiini; Bonds—St. Paul's Typo -.. graphjr Makes Maintenance of Sewer System Very Expensive. "This department is practically at the end of its string as far as giving any more sewage facilities are concerned," said Assistant City Engineer Starkey yesterday. "This does not mean," he hastened to add," that those living ad jacent to the main sewers cannot be accommodated, but those beyond them." To take care of the demand which at present exists, Mr. Starkey thinks the conference committee will be eompelV d to appropriate at least $15,0/0 when it meets again next December. This would care for the extension to St. Anthony park, and also furnish a main sewer for the territory West of Lexington avenue and south of Marshall street. The ab sence of these main sewers, Mr. Starkey said, is a great drawback to the develop ment of. the territory in which they do not exls't. Both East and West of the main resi dence sections of St. Paul this lack of main sewers exists, and already a clamor is going up for their construction. St. Paul, Mr. Starkey says, is unfortunate in its typography, as this makes the un usual cost. Where other cities lay mains for the accommodation of sewage alone, St. Paul is compelled to provide mains in addition for rainfall. An issue of bonds seems to be the only practical solution for the payment of the cost that these extensions will in cur. They must be built, the engineering department says, and the opinion seems to be that if the work must be done, posterity pay its share. They are a permanent improvement and will last for all time to come. *o> — A. M HARRIS. jm mWBSSSJT "" _BHb aßf^^^^2Bßßft»: it IB^^bbßßhbVbbß ",: } V-" -'i. ; ~ BjbP .

Appeal t« Courts. There is trouble in the ranks of the Minnesota State Poultry association and its disruption is threatened. Dissension, long breeding, broke out at a meeting of the members held last night at 31 VTest Third street, and now the association is divided into factions. These" factions are known as the "score card" and the "anti score card," or comparison people. Throe weeks ago, or, to be eract, April 2, which is the date named in the asso ciation's constitution and by-laws, the annual meeting was held at which J. II Drevenstedt, of Johnston, N. V., a noted authority on feathered stock, was selected as judge for the next meet. Mr. Dreven stedt is a member of the Anti-Scors Card, or comparison, association, and in ex planation it must be said those who con sider themselves real poultry fanciers and raisers are members of that guild. They discourage the score card on the ground that it is obsolete and amateurish, and judge by comparison, as in the case of other blooded stock. This selection was not agreeable, it was claimed, to the other faction, or score card people, who wanted Sharp Butter field, cf London, Ontario, as judge. This faction has Henry Grunhagen as its lead er, and that gentlemen proceeded to call another meeting, he holding that th; lirst was illegal because -J. E. Brown, editor of the Poultry Herald." a local ;publicatior., had been permitted to take part in the deliberations when he was not a mem ber, his'dues being in arrears. The meeting at 51 West Third street last night was the result cf Mr. Grunhagens activity, and from the start it was any thing but a harmonious affair. "I pro teat." "this meeting is illegal," and a dozen other objections filled ties air com ing from the anti-score card people, while from the other side cf the houss the de mands to "put them out," "sit down' and other remarks were just as vocif erous. Anti Score* Walliont. With a parting shot that the matter would be carried into the courts the anti score card people withdrew, and the other faction proceeded to complete their work by selecting the judge they desired, Mr. Buttertield, of London, Ontario. Among those who walked out were W. B. Klein, president of the Anti-Score Card asso ciation; H. J. Goetto. former president and secretary of the State Poultry asso ciation; Arnold Youngman, Henry Schra der, Anthony Yoerg, John Kirbyand E. S. Griffin. They are all well known poul trymen and have been prominent in past exhibitions of the association.. The question of who shall be judge threatens to find its way to'the district court, as the anti-men, who claim to b2 in the majority, say they will appeal tv that tribunal in support cf their rights and the future of the association. They claim the first meeting, at which Mr. Dm-enstedt was selected as judge, was correct and legal; The score card people are as vehement in claiming that they are Tn the right. The controversy extends to all over the state, and in fact the Northwest, the as sociation drawing the majority cf its sup port from the-latter source and the ouU come is looked forward to with interest. Tb4 anti-tH?ople claim that those who want Butterfleld f' r judge are nmateurs, while they are mostly in the poultry busi ness professionally. Blnml's Locomotive SmoUed. EL Bland, an Omaha engineer, was in the polic court yesterday charged with violating the smoke ordinance. A. clerk from the offices appeared before the court and a continuance was granted until May 1 to allow the engineer to go oat on his run.

The Body Tries to Sweat Them Out. At a convention 1 of medical' men in St. Louis the effects of coffee drinking were carefully considered. It was' unanimously j agreed that . While coffee . does, not seem to injure some persons, to others it is a rank poison. The effect on different persons is. of course," very different. In some the heart is. affected, in others the j kidneys, again the stomach or bowels, or the eyes, and in nervous cases the prostration is" spread over the whole, body. *"> -v ■ - *■ '-..>..i :-:-'-■ =■ As an illustration, a man Hinton, W. Va., experienced well defined symptoms of poisoning:. from coffee. .tHe says, "I used coffee a great many years with no "apparent ill effects, but about nine years ,ago I began being sick." I uecarae dull, lost my ambition, nad dizziness, my ele ■sight was very . bad and kept . getting worse, and at times I could hardly navi gate at all, I felt I was going -to fall every minute, and finally became so bad "I would have to sit down and rest three ■or four times in a distance of twice that many blocks. . . \ ■■• ■ - r .~ \ " I went .f^ona one physician to another and faithfully took their' prescriptions, but the case was so complex' that they could not successfully diagnose it. I 'firally went to'N. Y. City ;to the Vand»er bilt Clinic for treatment."; There my case was diagnosed as v neurasthenia. Every morning , about nine," I .would;.liave."a. kind of spa£>m. - Th>s peifpiration would break out all over tl*e -palms of my hands, and ray hair . would 'be. wringing wet, every nerve in the body would be affected and my heart would jump and beat- at a fear ful rate. This condition would generally last for about" twd* hours.

GETTING MONEY BY 'PHONE WAS A FROST Yonng Man Who Wanted $2O Quick ■ : - Is Sadly, Disap- S 'i '■'---. " ' pointed. A early headed young man, conoid'r ably excited, dashed into the Rvan shortly after 9 o'clock last evening, "and presented himself to the clerk at the counter. Perspiration was streaming down his face, and his breath came in jerks. "C C Can " "Hows that?" broke in the affable clerk, inclining his head. "Can I telephone to Stiliwater here?" the visitor managed to ejaculate. " I want to telephone to Pete A , he's got some of my stuff, and 1 want to get a . ''Right around the corner to your rig-ht." interrupted the hotel man. ''But I don't know how to work a tele phone, you'll have to come and talk for me," continued the young man with curly hair. "There's a young lady in attendance— she will fix you out," responded the im patient clerk, as he proceeded to busy hfmpjlf attending to some waiting guests. "Here's Mr. A for you,"' an nounced the central girl. "Step right into the center booth, there." "Oh, I never telephoned in my life, and I couldn't talk to Pete. You do the speaking, and I'll pay you for it," he an nounced jingling- some coins in his pocket. "1 am willing to pay you for your trouble. The young lady talked to Mr. A . Qf Stiliwater, but it appears that he didn't care to make a financial move on that kind of security, and she gave it up. The young man with curly hair tried hi» hand at it then, but came out of the booth a moment later, and announced tluit he couldn't hear a sound. The ycung lady again tried to make explana tions to Mr. A , but with, the same results. Finally the irate young man from up the country advanced to the instrument of conversation. He placed his mouth in front of the carrying plate, and careful ly adjusted the receiver to his ear. He then listened for his friend A to break the sound between Stillwater and St. Paul, but th.c voice came not. Finally Pete responded and the young man with curly hair was in a tremor. He waded into conversation at once, with his unseen friend. The conversation was one-sided as far as the listener was con cerned, but it was easy to guess the other side. "Oh, can't you see how it is, T want you to fix it so I can get a twenty here." "Well I let you have it didn't I?" "Why. I want you to tell these fel lows here—this is a hotel, ain't it?"— (turning to the telephone girl) "this is the Ryan. Just fix it here so that I can get the money. You see, Pete, I don't want any bother about it—T want it fixed S) that I can step right up to th-; counter and get my twenty. Just bold the line Pete, and I'll go and fetch the hotel man and you tell him to give me a twenty, and it will be all right." He misstated his -errand slightly, and instead of calling the clerk to the 'phono told him that he wanted a twenty right away. "You see T need a twenty tonight," he said. "You must give me the twenty and Pete says he will send it to you tomor row. Pete, he's good for it, and I got the money ail right, too." "Not on your tin-type, young man," responded the clerk, in tones of deep disgust. "You are either a sucker, or take me for one. When I see the twenty or a draft, I will provide you with one, but in the meantime, you make less noise." CHARLES CHAPPIE BENEFIT. Eigjiit--Hundred People Listen' to Good Concert at Mozart Hal). Nearly 800 people attended the benefit entertainment and dance given by em nloyes of the Great Northern shops for Charles Chappie at Mozart hall last night. About 1,400 tickets were sold and a snug sum was realized for Mr. Chappie, a former employe at the shops, who has been (onfir.pd to his home, suffering from paralysis. The entertainment was given under the direction of Sam Johnson, who also did a funny character turn- during the olio. A feature of the programme was a play In two act 3 entitled, "Solon Shingle and the People's Lawyer," which was' presented by the Great Northern Dramatic club, with Sam Johnson in the character of Solon Shingle.

BEDE IS OPTIMISTIC CONFIDENT THAT HE HAS SURE GRIP ON ( ONURESSIttNAL PRIZK Cannot See a Clond on the Horizon —Some Moulds as to Senator Mc- Carthy's Intentions—Henry Truel son Suid to Be Looking- for Dem ocratic Nomination. J. Adam Bede dropped into St. Paul yes terday afternoon to take a long-distanco view of the Eighth district congressional fight. Mr. Bede spent several days in Duluth and the northern end of th 3 dis trict, and says he feels more than satis fied with the situation, and more con fident than ever that he has the Inside >track. He said: "I am going to win out; Iher.' is not the slight doubt of t'.int At present I have everything my own way. Of course if a number of other can didates come out they will make it harder for me, but they cannot beat me out. I have the district, and they cannot pos sibly get it away from me. The leaders in Duluth gave me every encouragement. They know I have always been loyal to them and have worked hard for party success in the district, and they concede that I have a good claim to their support. There seems to be considerable doubt as to Senator McCarthy's intentlors. One Duluth paper quotes him as declaring that he is in the fight, and another as saying that he has not decided. Mr. Bede called on Senator McCarthy on Saturday and the senator intimated that he did not care to get into the game. Mr. Bed-e do* -a not believe that Mr. Kinney will enter the fight; and Senator Daugh-erty has declar ed that he will not try for the nomina tion. - The present indications are that Mr. Bede will have a clear field unless Sen ator McCarthy decides to run. Unless op position to Mr. Bede "materializes in a very shcrt time he will have things en tirely his own way for the nomination. It Is intimated that Henry Truelson ig ambitious to again lead the Democratic congressional fight in that district, and will announce his candidacy If the su preme court decides in his favor in tile disputed Duluth mayoralty election. _ m .

HURTS THE BUTCHERS HIGH PRICE! OF MEAT THREATENS THE LIFE, OF SHALL SHOPS People Are Learning: to Get Alon^ With Less Ment—Those Able tr> Boy Are Cutting: It Out, as Well ns Others—The Situation Is Se rious. The experience of butchers In many of the large cities, where meat men have been driven out of business by the liisii prices, is likely to be repeated In St. Paul. It is saiJ that if the present high prices of meats -of all kinds are continued another month there are several meat dialers, among' the smaller tradesmen, that will be driven out of busi^i The reason for it is that it la utterly impossible to get out of the class of patrons of these smaller shops prices tbat will put the butcher even. T:;> cheap grades of meat which this class of patrons uses almost exclusively, arc now as high as the best cms were before the rise began, and people have simply stop ped using meat. This is especially true, of course, of the small dealers, those srhcee patrons are mostly of the pooret classes. It is true in a lesser degree, however, of all butchers. Every one of them has noticed the falling off in business. "You would be surprised," said a lead ing butcher yesterday afternoon, "to see the difference between tbe meat orders now and those tbat we got before the jump began. You would also be surprised to see who some of the people are that have chopped down their meat orders. Many and many a family that has been accustomed to having meat two or three times a day right along is getting along with meat once a day now, and many are not doing that well. You might think the butcher was making his fortune at these increased prices, but I fail to see where it came in. We did not realize what a srap we were having when the whole sale price was fairly decent, and we—the retailers—were doing all the gouging there was done. "People are getting into a very bad habit of living with half tho meat they thought necessary not long ago, and that puta the butcher down to the necessity of getting along with much less profits than he got then. We don't make aa much money, even if the orders were as large, as we did before the squeeze be gan, and it is all because people do not buy as they did." A man happened to*rje in the strop at this time buying a modest little allow ance of meat. He apologized for buying so little. "Some day," he said, "T will be down with a wheelbarrow full of money and buy a whole pound." Another phase of the matter is ex tremely disturbing to the butchers. They fear that the people who have been used to eating meat two or thre« time 3 a day will, now that they find that they can get along with much less and feel quite as strong and healthy, if not even more so, continue In their present way of liv ing after the price of meat drops again-* that what they are now doing from ne cessity, they will continue to do from choice, and in the interest of their pocfc ctbooks. PAVING MATERIAL MUST BE NAMED Legal Department Heads Off Plan to Enconrage Comp etition. According to an opinion given by the legal department yesterday the board of public works, when arranging for street improvements, must decide on the ma terial to be used and advertise for bids on that alone. In order to encourage competition the board had in view a scheme whereby when a street was to be paved, dealers and contractors In all kinds of paving material could participate and from the proposals made, the board could select what it deemed the cheapest and best. This construction of the charter prac tically throttles competition bat the board sees no other way out of It than to obey. A similar opinion was given to the old board. -«*•- _ Cold, Damp Feet Won't Give Yon n Cold If you will take in time Laxative Ero mo-Quinine Tablets. E. W. Grove's fig nature on box. L. O.

Matthew Bantz, Charles 9teele and Anton Mlesen had been in th>' theater several times, arid never noticed an infraction of tb< room ordinance. Jn the main the testimony was confined to the structure of the building. The back bar, according to the prosecution, cut off from public view a great part of the theater, thus making the auditorium a wine room. It was expected that H v. D. L. Rader, who is said to have visited the theater with David Morgan, who swore out the complaint, would appear to testify yesterday. He did not put in an appearance, however.
