Special to The Globe. LARIMORE, N. D., Nov. 20.—John H. Keenan was arrested tonight on the charge of the murder of William Mur tagh. Mr. Murtagh was found dead six weeks ago, and the coroner's jury ren dered a verdict of suicide. Murtaugh was Keenan's partner In the livei-y business on Sept. 22. The arrest was one of the most sensational ever made in the county. Murtaugh was found bleeding and unconscious in a room in the Keenan home on the date named, and he died within a few hours from the effects of a revolver wound in the head, never regaining consciousness. Detectives claim to have discovered facts sufficient to base a charge of murder against Keenan. Murtaugh had occupied a room in the Keenan resi dence and had gone there to change his clothing. He was wanted on a business matter, but Mrs. Keenan said that he had left the country. Later he was found there as stated. Mrs. Keenan said that her husband had not been in the house, and that she had heard no shooting. Murtaugh was a single man, whose home was near Creemor, Ont. DEATHS OF THE DAY. CENTERVILLE, lowa.

Drake, consisting of bank and railroad stocks and farm land, is -estimated to be worth between $3,000,000 and $4,000,000. It is said Drake university, which institution the ex-governor has already given $200, --000, will receive a share of the estate. Gen.

MELLIN'S FOOD CO.. BOSTON, MASS. OHAfiE GIVES ORDER TO CLEAN THE STREETS Health Commissioner Says the Work Is a Sanitary Necessity, and on This Ground the Street Clean ing Department Proceeds at Once to Get Busy— Clouds of Dust Raised by the Sweepers Last Night. A street cleaning crew was at work In the down town district last night Health Commissioner Ohage was re sponsible. Yesterday Dr. Ohage Informed City Engineer Rundlett that the streets in the business district would be cleaned. Mr. Rundlett demurred. He Inform ed Dr. Ohage that he did not have any money with which to do the work. "I order you to do It," said Dr. Ohage. "I demand that it be done for sanitary reasons," he added. "The health of the city Is involved and the bills will have to be paid." "But the charter —It will not permit such an expenditure," expostulated Mr. Rundlett. "Never mind the charter," answered Dr. Ohage. "We can't stand on for malities when good health is at stake. Just remember I order you to do it.* If you don't I will." This all took place at a conference held yesterday between Dr. Ohage, Mayor Smith and City Engineer Rund lett, and was productive of results to the extent that Dr. Ohage's command to clean was obeyed by Mr. Rundlett last night. A crew of men was put to work and as much of the paved streets as practicable cleaned. In order to keep down the dust sprinkling was tried, but it was a failure, as the water froze almost as soon as it touched the ground. The work was accordingly delayed as late as possible so as not to discommode pedestrians with the clouds of dust that unavoidably arose. Oil as a remedy for the dust was at first proposed, but it could not be used on the asphalt. In despair the depart ment put the sweepers to work on the dry streets, and though much dust was raised the streets today look much better than they did yesterday. Bills Can't Be Paid This Year. The bills for the work cannot be paid until next year or until the new budget now being framed is realized MAFIA MYSTERY IS NEARER SOLUTION Continued From First Page. positive that Calderone was in his place three hours Thursday afternoon, and so inforrrfed the police when he learned that Calderone was wanted in connection with the murder. Makes Significant Remark. Branka and Calderone, according to Branka, conversed in reference to the murder, of which Branka had not pre viously known. Calderone informed the saloonkeeper that Battalia had been murdered, and told some of the circumstances. He concluded with tha significant remark: "The man who done it has not been arrested yet." Branka and Calderone shook dice and drank together, and finally Cal derone left, saying that he would be back in the evening. Shortly after Branka *was informed of the details of the murder and that 3 TONY CALDERONE, Suspect in the Battalia Case, Who Is Still Missing. Calderone was wanted. Branka then reported to the police that he expected Calderone to return in the evening, and Patrolman Joseph Pugleasa was de tailed to wait at the saloon for Cal derone. But the suspect did not put in an appearance, and he w ras not seen about the place yesterday. Branka says that he thinks Calde rone's hand was bandaged, but ia not positive. As he had no reason to sus pect anything wrong, he took no ac count of the circumstances at the time. He is, however, of the opinion that one hand or one finger was band aged. The fact that Conductor 392, of Min neapolis, reported to the police that he recollected having seen, shortly after the time of the murder, an Italian on his car with a bandaged hand, is taken to correspond with the- fact that Cal derone was afterwards seen in St. P§ul with his hand bandaged. Calderone is supposed to be the same man. Believe Two Men Fled to St. Paul. As the man who walked from Minne apolis 'to St. Paul, leaving the tell-tale blood tracks, is supposed to have been badly wounded, and as a description of this man does not correspond to a de scription of Calderone, further evidence is lent to support the theory that two participants in the deadly affair are In St. Paul. The man who attempted to gain an en trance to Cesti's shoe shop on Raymond avenue, -near University, Wednesday night was seen by A. J. Cole, 621 Glen dale avenue. Mr. Cole, who is an engi neer at one of the Minneapolis mills, was waiting for a car to take him to work, when the wounded man attracted hia at- THE ST. PAUL GLOBE. SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 21, 1903. ' . •■'■;■ ::>^Bfc;ojSßß3^3fcf* ■ ■* ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■>■■■■■■;■»» DR. JUSTUS OHAGE, "Who, Under His Authority as Health Commissioner, Yesterday Ordered the Streets Cleaned. upon. Under the charter any official who anticipates his fund is in danger of losing his official head; in fact, his act is considered criminal; but in this case the health department takes the responsibility. Where the health of a community is at stake the power of the health officer is considered almost supreme. If it is necessary for him to act, the city must pay the bill. There is no alternative. Dr. Ohage says he thinks'the present filthy condition of the streets demands his interference and he proposes to back up the engineering department in an attempt to remedy the evil. He informed Mr. Rundlett that while he wanted the streets cleaned he would not permit any sprinkling while the thermometer hovered near the freez ing point. He said it would make the streets slippery and endanger the lives of horses. Criticises Miss Mayhew. For Miss Stella Mayhew, of the "Show Girl" company, and her street cleaning "stunt" Thursday, Dr. Ohage had anything but approval. "It is cheap advertising," said Dr. Ohage, "and I am surprised that Miss Mayhew would resort to such meth ods. For the notoriety, or advertising if you want to call it, that she got, she attempted to clean two blocks of street and besmirched the fair name of an entire city. "There is no city any cleaner or healthier than St. Paul during the months that the work can properly be done. I have no fault to find with the street cleaning department. It has not had sufficient money with which to properly attend to a city the size of this, and there you are. If our mer chants would have more pride and not empty their store cleanings out into the streets they would have a cleaner town. I think I will have a few words to say about this matter at my lecture at the People's church Sunday." tention by pounding at the floor of the small shoe shop. The man pounded loudly at the door, tried the window, and as there was a light burning within, seemed anxious to attract the attention of the occupant. After repeated efforts to gain admittance, he finally gave up the attempt and start ed towards University avenue. Seeing Cole, he turned into the street and walk ed down the cycle path towards St. Paul. The man was, according to Cole's de scription, short and rather stout and wore a black overcoat, which was open, notwithstanding the cold weather which prevailed at the time. As Cole caught but a glance of the man, and as he paid to particular attention to him, he is un able to give a description, but says he might be able to recognize him. Cal derone is large and stout. Police Search fn Vain. Working on the theory that the me.n wanted ar e in St. Paul, the police of this city searched everywhere they might be found, but were unsuccessful. Both Calderone and Battalia had many friends in St. Paul, and most of them were visit ed. Probably, through fear of the Mafia, or through the natural reticence of the people, the police were unable to learn anything of the whereabouts of the men. Patrolman Pugleasa, with Detectives Daly and Sweeney, searched all resorts where they might have taken" refuge. The police now think that the men are being closely concealed, and are resolved to maintain a constant watch and will not give up their search. A humorous incident of the search in St. Paul occurred yesterday when two Min neapolis sleuths discovered on Sherburne avenue a trail of blood which they fol lowed to a house at 600 Robert street. Thinking that they had at last found the place of refuge of the murderer, they spotted the house and went for a St. Paul detective with wl»Mp they returned and started a search or the premises. Inqujries among the occupants developed nothing, but the detectives were not con tent till they went upstairs and found that a Jewish family resided there. The blood stains had been produced by an innocent duck which had been slain by the rabbi for the Sabbath feast. Knows of No Mafia Here. Though the police are inclined to be lieve that the murder was instigated and carried, out by members of the Mafia, Italians will not admit that such an or ganization is in existence in the Twin Cities. Rev. S. N. Odone, who conducts services for the Italian families of St. Paul, when seen last night said that he had no knowledge of any local branch of this famous organization. "I am sure that there is no such so ciety in St. Paul, but I will not say whether there is or not in Minneapolis. There .are but twelve Sicilian families in St. Paul, while there are many more in Minneapolis. The murder was a terrible affair, and I hope the offender will be brought to justice. I did not know either of the men 1! though I may have met them." The theory that Salvadore Battalia wta done to death by two men on the Frank lin avenue bridge Wednesday night, and that the missing Antonio Calderone is not the only suspected murderer, is con siderably strengthened by a street car conductor on the Minnehaha avenue line named A. D. Souci, residing at 655 Fourth avenue northeast, who got off his <;ar at Twenty-seventh and Franklin avenues Wednesday night just about the time the murder Is supposed to Have been com mitted. Three Italians Boarded Car. His car arrives at that point at 9-11 o clock. At Washington and First avenue south three Italians boarded the car Two of these, he saya, were young men, and the third was a man apparently about 40 years old. He has seen the newspaper pictures of Battalia and Calderone, and thinks he recognizes them. He describes Calderone as a man who was considerably larger than the other two. and wore no overcoat He sat between the two other men and paid the fare of all three. The conversation between the men was in a foreign language and was at times quite earnest. That is all he remembers about them. He will be shown Battalia's body this morning before the burial. A patrolman named Daly, who was also on the car, is said to have remembered the party of three Italians, and his im pression as to their identity Is similar to that of Souci. He could not be found last night, but it is believed that he has im parted his information to the police Find Knives and Handkerchief. The developments in the Battalia mur der at Minneapolis yesterday included the finding of two knives near the scene DISCUSSES FEDERAL IRRIGATION PROJECTS Chairman George H. Max well, of the National As soclation, Addresses St. Paul Business IVlen on the Benefits to Be Derived by Business Interests In General From Making Productive Vast Areas of Land (Now Arid. On invitation of Benjamin F. Beards ley, genial secretary of the National Irrigation association, twenty-five bus iness men were entertained at lunch eon yesterday at the Commercial club, to meet George H. Maxwell, executive chairman of the association. Mr. Max well was passing through the city to confer upon matters relating to the work in North Dakota with Maj. Plum ley, of that state, and advantage was taken fgf^J^'e opportunity to have him meet -fflna£ of the people of St. Paul, ana ta Jiay£ them hear from him of the importfnc^, the progress and the 'fu ture og? irrigation interests. .Mr. ;Jftla"xweU was introduced by Presidfflit Smith, of the Commercial club, af«[ spoke with great enthusiasm and ciajtnpfete knowledge of his sub ject. f$e rsaid, in part: "I aisf •gtad to comply with a request to interest the business men of this city in irrigation efforts, to tell them what will be done and to show them how deeply their own interests are in volved. Great projects, as you all know, are now under way. The irri gation fund already amounts to $16, --000,000, enough to carry out the plans under way for perhaps two years to come. Funds Should Be Used Where Raised. "By far the greatest contributors to this fund, derived from the proceeds of public land sales, are the states of North Dakota and Oregon. The big en terprises contemplated ai*e outside of the limits of those states, and the peo ple of North Dakota are in favor of a practice that will permit the funds ac cumulating under the irrigation law to be expended where they are raised. "You may suppose that, as one inter ested in the whole great irrigation scheme, I would look upon this with disfavor. On the contrary, it meets with my hearty approval. The irriga tion projects to which the country is wisely committed are of enormous magnitude. In the valleys of the Co lumbia, the Yellowstone, the Snake, the Sacramento and the Colorado there are tens of millions of acres that may be reclaimed by projects that will cost from ; $10,000,000 to $50,000,000 each. An underestimate of the population which these reclaimed lands will support is 50,000,000 people. And the land so pre pared for cultivation will be worth im mediately from $100 to $500 per acre. "These great works will be carried through eventually by a larger policy on the part of the general government. The proceeds of public land sales would never be adequate. The govern ment will prosecute them by the aid df airect appropriations, charged up against the irrigation fund, and repaid by charges upon the land so made available.. We are scarcely yet at the beginning of the great irrigation idea and its accomplishment. Should Repeal Desert Land Act. "The first effort of every friend of irrigation should be to secure the re peal of the existing desert land and of the murder, and a bloody handker chief, which has on It the initials "A. C," which correspond with those of the suspected murderer, Antonio Calderone. A post-mortem examination was held yesterday which resulted in the finding of twenty-four stab wounds on the body of Batallia instead of twenty-one, as pre viously counted. Two had pierced the heart. The inquest is to be held Mon day. Batallla's funeral is set for this aft ernoon. His body lies at his brother's home, 1008 Western avenue. The two knives were found by detec tives yesterday morning at the opposite end of the Franklin avenue bridge in the center of which the murder is supposed to hftve" been committed. One was a bbwie knffe, the blade of which was broken off about two inches from the handle. It Is supposed to have belonged to the dead- man, as it could not have inflicted the wounds found upon his body. It was discovered among some leaves near the east end of the bridge. The handla is smeared with blood. The other knife is a stiletto, or dagger, with -a blade nine inches long, the point of which is broken off. This was found lying near the river's edge beneath the western end of the bridge. It, too, was bespattered, and there were stains on the bridge above that would indicate that It had been flung away by some bloody hand. It was these stains that caused the de tectives to go below the bridge and look to see what the dripping of blood might point to. It is presumed that the dagger was thrown away by Batallia's murderer when he fled in the direction of St. Paul, and It is significant that it answers to the description given of a knife that Cal- :-,e L/vieat co.

But the opportunity which they afford for fraudulent appropriation of the very lands that we are seeking to recover must be taken away. These are the areas that irrigation will make most valuable, and their alienation must be prevented. "There is another phase of irrigation that is too little understood. Men think of it generally as the reclaiming of ac tually desert and unproductive land. But an absolute control of the water supply will enhance the productiveness and increase the value of other lands. Take North Dakota, for example. All that she contributes to the fund could be expended most profitably within her boundaries. If land can be what is called "winter-flooded;" that is, if it can be saturated with water before it freezes in the fall, then the moisture is there when the seed is planted in the spring, and there can be no fear of drought. With ditches to carry off the excess and irrigation canals to supply a deficiency, the productiveness and the value of North Dakota lands would be increased at least fivefold." Instances of General Benefit. In answer to a question relating to the direct interest of St. Paul business men in these projects, Mr. Maxwell re ferred to the experience of Los An geles and Omaha. In the former city, though the areas to be Irrigated are not directly tributary to it, the busi ness men stated that the making of the surveys had so increased their trade by the demand for supplies that they had derived great benefit, and that they therefore saw that the actual construction work would add millions to their commerce. Omaha also ex pected that her population would dou~ ble in ten years and her business grow correspondingly through the comple tion of irrigation projects on the North Platte. "What," asked Mr. Maxwell, "may not the merchants of St. Paul reasonably expect, not only from the carrying out of these gigantic plans, but from the settlement of tens of mil lions of new people in the country tributary to it commercially?" Mr. Maxwell's remarks were listened to with great interest and received with hearty and repeated applause. At their close President Smith introduced Prof. Shaw, who spoke briefly of his interest in irrigation projects, and their value to the state and to the whole Northwest. Mr. Beardsley spoke brief ly on the interest manifested here in irrigation, and the gentlemen present afterward had an opportunity to meet Mr. Maxwell personally. derone, the missing suspect, was known to have carried. Evidences of Two Assailants. Besides the bloody handkerchief found near the trail which led in the direction of St. Paul, a .piece of a bloody rag was also found along a third trail of blood, which would indicate that there were two assail ants who attacked Battalia. This trail is really a continuation of the dripping of blood which was followed Thursday to a meat market at 2504 Riverside, where a pool of blood was found inside a storm door. Yesterday the trail was picked up again and led out Riverside to Fifth street, on Fifth street to Eighth avenue south past the morgue, and out Sixth avenue to Ninth street, and then back Into "Hell's Half Acre," and then down Sixth street to Second avenue south to Fourth street, where it was lost again. At Sixth street and Ninth avenue a bloody rag was found, which appeared to be a piece of a hand kerchief which was marked with the let ter "H." While the Italians of Minneapolis scout the theory that the murder was the result of the Mafia, the penalty of an oath-bound society whom Battalia had offended, they have offered no other motive for the murder than that Battalia had quarreled with Calderone and his brother Phillippe Battalia, and had argued with others over his intention to forswear his allegiance to his native country and to join the Masons. A witness has been found who saya that about 8 o'clock Salvatore Battalia came to the house at 1001 Western ave nue, and Antonio Calderone was there. Battalia said he was going to join a Masonic lodge that night, and Calderone attempted to dissuade him. Batallia left the house, and Calderone went five min utes later. This bears out the theory that Cal dorone joined Battalia and a third man, composing the party of Italians who boarded the Minnehaha car, who are re membered by Conductor Souci. The finding of bloody trails leading from the Franklin avenue bridge in the direction of St. Paul and back to Minne apolis fits in with the theory that two men attacked and fought Battalia to his death. Struggled on the Bridge. There are indications of a struggle on the bridge, in addition to the circum stance that the blades of both knives found near the bridge are broken. There are the marks of bloody fingers on one of the supports of the bridge. J. W. Donahue, who stumbled over Battalia's body and gave the alarm, says that the lights were out, which ordinarily burned, as he had noticed in crossing the bridge nightly, and it is reasonable to suppose that Battalia had been lured to the bridge to be stabbed to death in the darkness. The blood found on the floor of the bridge has been analyzed and pronounced to be arterial blood, and that it was sprinkled about so profusely would indi cate a struggle with more than one assail ant. Calderone was about 25 years old, and a young man of large stature. He had come to Minneapolis from Winnipeg in March and had resided with several Italians at 1001 Western avenue.

Three hundred well-fattened tur keys, under sentence of execution, made a successful dash for liberty yes terday afternoon from their place of confinement at R. E. Cobb's commis sion house on East Third street. The turkeys were in a big coop, where they were being prepared for market, but an unmanageable truck team backed a wagon into the coop and 300 of the condemned birds, sought safety in flight. Less than half a dozen of the number were recaptured; at least no more were returned to the commission house. Last night the turkeys were well scattered over the down-town district and there was scarcely a building which did not furnish a roosting place for one or more of the gobble birds. The news of the wholesale delivery of the stall-fed turkeys spread rap idly, however, and dozens of men and boys were out searching for the tur keys last night in anticipation of a Thanksgiving dinner. The smashing of the large coop and the escape of the turkeys was the cause of much confusion on commis sion row yesterday afternoon. The turkeys ran or flew in every direc tion, and the efforts of the half hun dred men to catch them were in vain. They sought safety by flying to the tops of tall buildings, and while a few were being recaptured almost the en tire number succeeded In getting away. The turkeys were to have furnished St. Paul families with Thanksgiving dinners, and while it Is probable that many of them will serve this purpose, the commission house which lost them will not profit by it. and George Rltter were arrested yester day by Detective Rowland, accused of taking F. Lonnegin, a brakeman, into a room at 330 South Robert street, where they are said to have robbed him of about $7 in cash and a watch, which one of them pawned for $15. Smith was later taken to the city hos pital, suffering from delirium tremens. SAYS HE WAS LURED TO SALOON AND POUNDED Charles Lindstrom Is Roughly Used—Po lice Arrest Him and Alleged Assailants.
