City Attorney Says the Seven
Policemen Displacing-Dis
charged Officers
ARE NOT ENTITLED TO PAY.
He Says the Democratic As
sembly Was Not a De
Facto Body.
DISCHARGED MEN HAVE SUED
Mr. Lewis Brings Into Exist-
ence a Smelling- Com
mittee for Gamblers.
The assembly washed its hands last
evening of all responsibility tor the
payment of the several policemen ap
pointed last June by Mayor Smith in
place of those men removed lor the
•■good of the service." but who refused
to resign, ami were, therefore, from a
legal standpoint, members of the police
force until the council concurred in the
discharge last month. The discharged
men, so the city attorney informed the
assembly, have begun suits against the
city for the amounts which they claim
that the city owes them as salaries from
June till October. That being the case,
the matter of paying the seven men
who have actually served was referred
to the city attorney for settlement. The
assembly took this action in order to
escape saddling a double liability on
the city by passing the pay rolls, and
subsequently being compelled to pay
the discharged set of policemen, in case
thecourts should give them judgments
against the city.
The matter came before the assembly
from the committee on ways and means,
which reported in favor of allowing the
Pay of Four Coilccineu
who were appointed to fill actual va
cancies due to resignations. These four
are Fred Tegter. John W. Cowan, J. S.
Webb and George Keist-r, who will re
ceive pay for all the time I hey have
served. The seven officers whose mis
fortune it was to be appointed in place
of men whom the mayor — the head of
the police department— regarded as un
til for the duties required of them, were
sidetracked as far as receiving pay
from the time of their appointment un
til their confirmation in October. The
assembly approved the pay roll of the
four, but the following officers must
wait for an indefinite Hie if not for
ever: They are Philip B. McTaggart.
M. F. Moran, Charles A. Gates. John
Hammis. Michael Kirchmaier. Edward
McCarthy and Oscar Tankenhoff.
Before the assembly took any action
Cily Attorney Chamberlain's opinion
was read. In substance it was tj the
effect that the confirmation of the four
policemen who were appointed to fill
vacancies related back to the time of
their appointment, aud they were there
fore entitled to their pay, but as to the
remaining seven men. they were not
legally entitled to any pay until the
lime of their confirmation, as the men
whose places they were appointed to
till were not actually discharged until
the council concurred iv the discharge,
such being the ruling of the supreme
court.
Assemblyman Parker considered the
city attorney's opinion a negative one.
Mr. Parker said that the only question
was whether the first assembly, which
confirmed all the mayors appointments
and discharges, was
A De Faclo Body or Not.
If it was the men are entitled to full
pay for all the period of their service.
If not, ttiey were not legally entitled,
and Mr. Parker did not believe the city
was legally bound to pay either set of
policemen.
Mr. Chamberlain gave it as his opin
ion that the Urat assembly was not a de
facto body.
Mr. Parker replied that the whole
matter whs simply a business proposi
tion, not a party question.
"As the ease now stands," continued
Mr. Parker, "I don't think we would
better pay anybody, and I will offer a
resolution that the matter of the pay of
these seven policemen be referred back
to the corporation attorney to; settle
ment."
Subsequently Mr. Parker, in order to
bring the matter to an issue, moved that
the pay of the seven policemen be al
lowed from the date of their appoint
ment. Mr. Lewis and Air. Johnson both
took the tloor against this motion. Mr.
Lewis opposed it because it was an open
question which set of men were legally
entitled to the pay, and Mr. Johnson
admitted that the city was under a
moral obligation to pay the men who
have actually done tiie work, but the
question was, would the city have
money enough to pay both sets?
Mr. Chamberlain informed the assem
bly that the suits of the discharged po
licemen had been placed on the Decem
ber calendar, and the decision in one
case would answer for the remainder.
Mr. Parker then moved that the matter
be referred back to the corporation at
torney for settlement.
Mr. Strouse Opposed Thin,
and made a final appeal in behalf of the
appointees of tiie mayor. He insisted
that they were legally, as well as
morally, entitled io their pay. and moved
as an amendment that it be allowed
them. Mr. Kobb seconded the amend
ment. It was lost by a vote of 6to 2, all
the others voting "no." Mr. Parker's
motion was then carried by the same
vote. Messrs. Strouse and Robb voting
"no."
Assemblyman Lewis then sought to
distinguish himself by introducing a
resolution calling for the appointment
of a smelling committee to nose around
the city and ascertain if Untie is any
gambling going on. The preamble of
the assemblyman's resolution assumed
that the columns of the daily press were
circulating stories to the eJFeet that
"gambling and gambling devices pre
vail and exist in the city of St. Paul."
Mr. Parker wanted the n« utter re
ferred to the committee on police, but
Mr. Lewis contended thai the members
of the assembly were, by virtue of their
ollice. conservators ot the peace and
vested with police powers, and assured
Mr. Parker that, as an assemblyman, he
(Parker) had power to make an arrest
it he saw trouble on the streets.
Mr. Parker was not moved by this
argument, except to reply that the best
reason lor referring the matter was that
:t was :i subject for the grand jury to
consider, not the assembly. But the
resold!l'm was put through by a vote of
7to o—Mr. Stiouse excused trom voting
—and made sure by the loss of a motion
to reconsider. President Cooeland ap
pointed as the investigating committee
Messrs. Lewis, Parker and lleardon,

UNION PACIFIC MAXTtB ON.
Keport of the Master in Chancery
.Subject for Argument.
Judge Sanborn. United Slates circuit
judge, heard argument yesterday upon
the report of W. It. Cornish, ot this city,
as master in chancery, to whom it was
referred for the purpose of taking evi
dence, the application of the rectivers
of the Union Pacific road to cut off cer
tain leased roads.
Judge Cornish reported that he would
recommend that the receivers of the
Kansas City & Omaha road operate that
line, and that any deficit arising from
the operation be borne by the St. Joe
•& Grand Island and the Union Pacific,
the division to be fixed upon some equi
table ratio. This recommendation was
taken up tor argument. Hon. J. M.
Tiiurston, of Nebraska, argued the mat
ter on behalf of the receivers: William
Strouse, of New York, represented the
bondholders and the St. Joseph & Grand
Inland road, and Harris Richardson, of
this city, the Kansas City & Omaha
road. The attorneys disagreed upou
the recommendations of the master in
chancery, which led Judge Sanborn to
ask what objection there would be to
turning over the Kansas City <& Omaha
road to the bondholders to operate. The
matter was argued pro and con and sub
mitted with leave to file briefs.
Other recommendations of the master
in chancery concerning other branch
roads will be taken up for argument to
day before Judge Sauborn.
To "Suffer and lie strong"—
In other words, to exhibit fortitud
when enduring bodily pain is, of course
praiseworthy, but sufferers from rheu
matism would undoubtedly forego the
praise which the exercise of this Spar
tan virtue calls forth, to obtain prompt
' anb easy relief. it is at their very
rthreshold in the shape of Hostetter's
■ Stomach Bitters, which arrests this
formidable disease at the outset, and
acts as an efficient anodyne upon the
afflicted nervous system. Take time l>y
the forelock if you feel rheumatic
twinges, and give them a quietude at
once. Rheumatism is, reader, you may
perhaps uot be aware, liable to attack
• ; the heart. Many a man and woman
with a heart thus attacked has prompt
<ljr('shuffled off this mortal coil." The
Bitters is also an excellent remedy for
.kidney trouble, malaria, constipation,
'debility, neuralgia, sleeplessness and
dyspepsia.
*£- JOHN GOOD NOW WINS.
Sustained in Getting Contracts by
High Bids.
. The wily John Uoodnow, of Minne
apolis, has come out at the top of the
heap in the matter of securing fuel
contracts from the city of Minneapolis.
The supreme court yesterday sustained
the Hennepin county district court in
the matter. A year ago (ioodnow &
Lawther were one of three bidders for
furnishing fuel for the eight depart
ments of Minneapolis.. Separate bids
were required for the departments.
This firm was the highest bidder of
the majority of the contestants, yet
the Republican oity council awarded
the contracts for seven of the depart
ments to the linn, all through the
strong Republican pull of John Good
now. Wyman Elliot, a heavy taxpayer
of Minneapolis, sued out of the district
court a writ of injunction against the
city council, restraining the body from
granting the contracts to any but tto
lowest bidder*. The district court held
that .since the city charter did not re
quire thai city contracts should be let
to the lowest bidders, the injunction
would not lie. Mr. Elliot appealed to
the supreme court. The opinion of
the upper court was written by Justice
Buck After sustaining the district
court. Justic- Buck concludes the opin
ion with thi? hint:
••Possibly public interest might be
better subserved l»y placing restrictions
in the charter requiring contract to be
let to Ihe lowest bidder; but that i-> a
matter tor t legislature to deal with,
stud nut tor judicial inteiieici cv."
The syllabus of the decision is as fol
lows:
v 'yimtti Elliot, appellant, vs. City of Minne
apolis. \V. H. Knstis. as mayor, et «1.. re
hpondi'iUs Order ißraed Buck, J.
• 1. Where there is neither fraud nor
abuse of its discretionary powers, a mu
nicipal corporation may award contracts
for th» purchase of fuel for tins use of
Una city without letting them to the
lowest bidder it the municipal charier
does not prescribe the mode of award
ing and entering into such contracts,
and where .such contracts are otherwise
made within the »cope of its corporate
powers.
2. There is no provision in the city
charter of the city of Minneapolis le
quliMig contracts lor the purchase of
luel to be awarded to the lowest bidder.
Held thai the manner of awarding such
contract rests in the discretion of the
city council, subject, however, to the
rule of law trial such power is not un
limited, and that if lraud enters into
such contracts, or the council abuses its
discretionary powers in making such
awards, the contracts may be impeached
therefor.
S. While corporate funds and corpor
ate property are. a public trust, and Hie
fraudulent exercise or corporate power
by m city council whereby such property
ana funds are misapplied would be il
legal and void, yet, held that no such
facts appear ii» this case, and the power
exercised by the city council ot the city
of Minneapolis in awarding the con
tracts for the purchase of fuel lor the
use of the city do not appear to be
tainted with fraud, nor does it appear
that it abused its discretionary powers
in so doing.
The syllabus of another decision is
as follows:
