It has been found that the $2,500 al lowed by the city council for relief of the cyclone sufferers is inadequate, it being impossible to five assistance in many of the most worthy cases. In a number of instances where relief was granted only sufficient was given for immediate needs. The members of the committee reported that in many in stances the most worthy had not been heard from. Those receiving: assistance yesterday were: T. Linehan and John Chater, 420 Woodward avenue, $25 to repair the house in which they live; John Roos, 612 Thomas street, who lost nearly all his possessions, $50; J. E. Hobrecker, Charles street, house and furniture damaged, $50; Mrs. James Rogan, granted an additional $25. The committee investigating the case of the Home for the Friendless reported that the charitable institution was badly damaged, 'but that as the repairs are being made relief is not necessary immediately. A plea was made for the Catholic orphan asylum, Victoria and Carroll streets. The building was reported damaged. Aid. Bantz and Hebl will in vestigate. Mrs. J. Foley, 236 Alabama street, and J. H.

It is admitted at police headquarters that five men have been suspended since strict watch has been kept on the patrolmen, but it is said that some of them have been put back to work after being off a day or so. It is ex pected, however, that their alleged neglect of duty will be reported to the police commission. The names of the offenders are not made public, and the officers whom rumor connects with the case deny the reports. Of late rumors have been coming to Chief O'Connor that some of the pa trolmen have been spending too much time in the saloons. Such conduct is contrary to the rules of the depart men. The men were warned at roll calls some two weeks ago, but it seems that some of them took little notice of the notification and continued their practice. The sergeants were there fore instructed to keep close watch, and in every case where an officer remain ed in a saloon longer than necessary he should be suspended from the force. Five stars dropped in the first two nights after the crusade began. The men were ordered to report to the chief. In practically all cases they were told to return to work, but in formed that their alleged misconduct would be reported to the commis- I sioners. SAYS WINONA TURNED DOWN A GOOD CHARTER C. A. Morey Declares Those in Power Helped to Defeat Measure "The voters of Winona failed to adopt a new charter submitted to them at a special election last Saturday, and thereby rejected a charter which is a vast improvement over the instrument under which the city is now governed," said C. A. Morey, of Winona, yester day. Mr. Morey came to St. Paul as a delegate from the Winona Board of Trade to pilot the rivers and harbors committee to his home city. He was one of the citizens' committee appoint ed to draft a new charter, and is somewhat disappointed at the failure of the citizens to accept the new in strument. "We worked for the bettef part of seven months in formulating the new charter," he said, "and yet the people of one ward by their negative votes de feated its adoption. We carried three wards with sufficient majority to give the required four-sevenths vote, but the proposed city constitution was de feated in a ward where our heaviest foreign, population lives. "The new charter is a vast improve ment over the old. It was largely pat terned after the St. Paul charter, and put all the departments of the city un der the-authority of boards. The char ter now in operation at-Winona cen tralizes-all power in "tire administration and the people who are in power were successful in defeating a meritorious measure. We shall-try again to con vince the public Jhat the new charter is the best thing for the taxpayers." THE ST. PAUL GLO TEDAY, AUGUST 27, 1904 RIVERS AND HARBti COMMITTEEMEN PLEASED BY ENTERTAINMENT IN ST. PAUL Advantages of Improvements to Mississippi Waterway in Connection With the Pan ama Canal in Affording Transportation Outlet for Milling Product of the Twin Cities Remarked by Members of Congressional Commission St. Paul's municipal and civic bodies put themselves out to make the short stay of the members of the rivers and harbors committee of congress in this city a pleasant one and what the con gressmen said after the banquet at the Commercial club tended to show that their object had been accomplished. Nine members of the important house committee reached Minneapolis early yesterday morning with several of the officers of the committee and a number of ladies. They were shown about Minneapolis during the morning and taken over the part of the river containing the government works. In, the afternoon the party was met at the locks and dams by the St. Paul com mittee and taken on board the steamer Hiawatha. The vessel moved down to Fort Snelling and there received a delega tion of officers stationed at the fort and then proceeded up the Minnesota river. This inspection, which was strongly urged by the St. Paul -con tingent of the entertainers, was keenly enjoyed by the visitors. Late in the afternoon the committee arrived in this city and was taken in charge by the members of the local committee. Automobiles were furnish ed the congressmen and their wives and a trip around the drives and boule vards was undertaken. At 7:30 o'clock the congressmen, of ficers stationed at Fort Snelling and a number of prominent citizens, including the reception committee, assembled at the Commercial club, w There a banquet was spread. President Theodore F. Smith, of the Commercial club, opened the proceed ings. . Gov. Samuel R. "Van Sant presided, with Theodore E. Burton, of Ohio, chairman of the congressional commit tee, seated on his right. Gov. Van Sant Speaks Gov. Van Sant introduced the speaking part of the entertainment in a few brief sentences and presented Chair man Burton. # The governor said that the people of Minnesota want the river deepened and urged upon the committee that when they leave the steamer Louisiana at St. Louis they be alive to the fact that the Mississippi river and its branches extends 16,000 miles and drains a territory of 125,000 square miles. "When the Panama canal is completed it will be the greatest com mercial artery in the world," said the speaker. He called attention to the fact that President Madison had said early in the last century that the Mississippi was greater than the Hudson, Delaware and Potomac rivers combined. "Competition is necessary in trade," said the governor in conclusion, "and if it is a good thing, give it to us so that we may develop the natural resources, not only of Minnesota and the North west, but those of the whole great Mis sissippi valley." Mr. Burton commenced his remarks by saying that the trip of the commit tee was primarily for the purpose of instruction of the members. He said that the members of the committee could make no promises as to the amount of the appropriation that would be made, but said that St. Paul was one of the terminal points of transportation of the country and that history shows that the energy of transportation had increased four fold, while the manufacturing and commerce could be judged as a unit. He pointed out that a bushel of wheat could now be moved from St. Paul to Liverpool, a distance of ap proximately 4,000 miles, for practically the same amount necessary to carry a bushel of wheat from Athens to the field of Marathon in the time of Mil tiades, which is about fifteen miles. Can't Make Promises Now Continuing, he said: "The' commit tee is not in a position to make defi nite promises, but the people of Min nesota may rest assured that in the matter of making the great main waterway of the country available for freight traffic, whatever is rational will be done. "But whatever congress does, let the residents of this part ot the country understand that it is strictly up to them to take advantage of what is done, so that the national government may not count the money lost. The gods help those who-help themselves, and if the people of^ the Mississippi states put in transportation lines and work for the commercial advancement of the whole country, the United States will see that there is water in which to float the cargoes of flour to St. Louis and Cairo and New Orleans, and from thence to the marts of the world. Darius F. Reese was next introduced by the chair to welcome the visitors on behalf of the Commercial club. He made a characteristic speech, and in the midst of it caused a ripple of amusement that bubbled up in spite of his eloquent words. He was Just warming to his sub ject when he said that the rivers and harbors committees in former times had been accused of being 1 grafters and boodlers, but now the country rec ognized that the body was one of the most important in the federal legisla ture. . At the end of his table sat former Congressman Walter Reeves, who for a number of years held a position on the committee. Mr. Reeves' presence was known to most of the guests, and his writhing under the' fire of Mr. Reese's remarks caused some stifled merriment. Noted Texan Gives Views George F. Burgess, the eloquent member from the San Antonio (Tex.) district, was next called upon. He y"■ • -*' ■-■■'•; .-;■■:■ .. _^- .-;■ ■■■:■: CONGRESSMAN J. ADAM BEDE called attention to the fact that .his state was known as the Lone Star state, while Minnesota is the North Star state. "One is known for her ore, lumber and wheat," said he, "and the other, for her. cattle, cotton . and .rice. Both are vitally interested in transportation improvement, and water transportation is certainly a branch of that great commercial factor. "In fourteen years the country has passed from the ranks of debtor riations to that of a creditor and one of the largest creditors in the world. The na tional debt has been practically extin guished abroad and the gold that has flowed in in payment for our--shipments has made us rich beyond the hopes of our fathers." He said that a-H this was due to im provement in transportation, natural ad vantages and the .superiority of our citi zenship. He said also that the problem of transportation was and should be a great American, non-partisan question. Mr. Burgess, who is one of the new members' of the committee, closed with a pretty tribute to the women of America, which was feelingly applauded. To Utilize Panama Canal Congressman J.

The Day in Minneapolis The congressional committee arrived in Minneapolis before 6 o'clock in the morn nig and was taken in charge by a dele gation from the Commercial club and breakfast was served at the club. Later a short auto ride^ was taken about the city and then the party proceeded to the government works at Meeker island. In view of the fact that one of the ar guments in favor of improving navigation between St. Paul and Minneapolis was that it would provide an outlet for the flour product of Minneapolis, the absence of any representative of the milling in terests to welcome the congressmen upon their arrival was a matter of some com ment. Chairman Burton discussed the work under way and said that the best argu ment that Minneapolis could make for im provement, of the river would be to take advantage of the present conditions —in other words, to make the best of what is now offered —and then to ask for improve ment. "In a dictated statement he said: "The argument in favor of improving waterways in order to regulate freight rates is worthy of a certain amount of consideration. But it will readily be seen that the carrying of freight presents an economic problem which should be set tled on pach particular route, according to the relative advantages and cheapness of rail and water transportation. Instead of building very extensive Improvements to compel railroads to lower rates, it would seem that the more efficient way would be by state or national legisla tion." Mr. Burton said there were three ques tions to be considered: Whether a channel between Minneap olis and St. Paul would be profitable; whether freight would be carried through to New Orleans or diverted at St. Louis or tairo. and to what extent do river traffic rates conflict with railroad rates? SAYS DAVID M. CLOUGH RECOUPED FORTUNE J. T. McChesney, of Everett, Brings News of Former Governor "While the war in the Orient at first stimulated trade in certain lines which the Pacific coast produces, there fol lowed a period of unusual depression, and it is doubtful if the Russo-Japa nese Avar has been of any material ben efit to our section of the country," said J. T. McChesney, a prominent business man of Everett, Wash., who is a guest at the Ryan hotel for a few days, en route home from an extended Eastern trip. "Our marine interests are deeply con cerned in the decision of the nations of the world as to what Russia, may re gard as contraband of war, for one can see at a glance that if railroad iron, foodstuffs, manufactured articles and nearly everything that we ship to Japan can be considered contraband of war, there will be very little carrying trade between the states and the isl and empire. From the fact that the boats of the Japanese line are again in commission and the freighters ply ing between Seattle and Yokohama are nearly all making regular trips between these ports, it is generally believed that Russia has seen the force of the repre sentations of the United States and England as bearing on this point." Mr. McChesney is the principal own er of the Everett street car lines, pres ident of the First National bank of his home city and is interested in a num ber of the leading industries on the sound. He reports D. M. Clough, for mer governor of Minnesota, as having recouped his fortunes at Everett and says he is one of the substantial lum bermen of the coast. COME TO RELIEF OF POPCORN STAND MAN Cyclone Moved Him and His Plant, but Friends Re-establTsh His Business Michael Kelly, proprietor of a pop corn stand at Fifth and Sibley streets, yesterday received a purse collected by W.

Adam Bede Will Campaign With Speaker Cannon If J. Adam Bede doesn't fare well at the hands of Speaker Cannon when congress reassembles in December it will not be because of lack of opportuni ty to firmly establish himself in the good graces of the speaker. Congressman Bede, who was in the city yesterday with the other mem bers of the rivers and harbors com mittee, has been assigned to campaign for two weeks in Northwestern states with "Uncle Joe" Cannon, and he says if the speaker 'doesn't let congress give him money enough to build some big ditches and things in the Eighth Min nesota district it will be because he has no appreciation of good company. "I will put in two weeks with 'Uncle Joe' in Minnesota and neighboring states," Bede said yesterday, "and I intend to take the unusual opportunity to get very close to the speaker." Bede filed his certificate of candi dacy yesterday with the secretary of state. His home is at Pine City, he avers in the document, and he is a can didate for the Republican nomination for congress in the Eighth Minnesota district* No opposition has developed to him in his own party.

WILL ASSESS ANEW Awards for Land to Widen Park Avenue Reduced $2,500 The board of public works yesterday annulled all assessment proceedings heretofore taken to provide i'unds to pay for the widening of Park avenue, and will lay out a new assessment dis trict. It was decided by the board to reduce the awards for the property taken from $23,500 to about $21,000, and by this means relieve the property owners far removed from the improve ment of assessment. This action by the board means that the property owners will be called upon to pay but $1,000 of the cost, all of which will be assessed on the prop erty in the immediate neighborhood, $20,000 having already been appro priated from the general fund for the purpose. It is expected, according to the new arrangement, the objections will all come from the property owners whose lots were taken to widen the street, but if they are not satisfied with the decreased awards they have the right to go into the courts. The members of the board state that the arguments of about 300 prop erty owners some distance removed from Park avenue that they would not be benefited in the end caused the change in tactics. It was concluded that the only manner in which the as sessment could be settled was to reduce the damage awards $2,500.* ALLEGED SWINDLER SEEKS HIS LIBERTY Charles Crawford Will Have Hearing on Writ of Habeas Corpus A writ of habeas corpus was issued yesterday afternoon by Judge Orr with a view to obtaining the release from custody of Charles Crawford, charged with swindling. The writ is returnable at 10 o'clock this morning. Crawford is the man who is charged with having defrauded J. M. McLeod, of Washington, D. C, out of $500 by a. swindling operation with cards. The contention was that there is no evi dence to connect Crawford with the crime. An alleged accomplice of Crawford escaped before the police were at work on the case and a warrant was issued for his arrest.
