ONLY $175 IN FUND
City's $2,500 for Cyclone Suf
ferers Nearly Exhausted
At yesterday's meeting of the city
relief committee a total of $175 was
appropriated, leaving but $175 in the
fund, it being decided by the commit
tee that if it is found impossible to se
cure additional funds from the city
that an appeal will be made to indi
viduals.
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. Helbert, Fuller street, be
tween Grotto and St. Albans, reported
that they had sustained serious losses
and asked for assistance. Their cases
were referred for investigation/
WARNS THE COPPERS
Chief to Report Those Who Fre-
quent Saloons
Police officers throughout the city
are careful that they do not loaf about
saloons nowadays, several members of
the force having lately been temporar
ily suspended on charges of such mis
conduct on order of Chief O'Connor.
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. Adam Bede closed the
toasts. He spoke of the value to the

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. L.. Benson, foreman for Nichols,

Kelly suffered a loss during the storm
of last Saturday night when he was
carried a block in his stand by the

was ruined and he was injured. The
contributions he received will enable
him to restore his business.

CLOSE TO UNCLE JOE
J. 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.
H. O. Hanson, Stephen, Marshall
county, filed yesterday as a candidate
for the Republican nomination to the
legislature in the Sixty-third district.
The field In the district now includes
some six candidates. The district is
entitled to two members.
Peter C. Lynch, Glendorado, Benton
county, filed yesterday as a candidate
for the Democratic legislative nomina
tion in the Forty-seventh district. It
is understood that no other Democrat
will file. J. J. McGregor represented
the district in the last session and has
an opponent for renomination in O. F.
Doyle, of St. Cloud.
Drank Fighting Whisky
L. T. Campbell .and W. H. Middle

dulged in a fisticuff in Smith park,
told Judge Hine yesterday that they
were ordinarily the best of friends, but
that the amount of liquor they con
sumed caused them to have a desire to
fight. They were allowed to sign peace
bonds, and left the court room arm In
arm.

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.
