years has been employed by the government
i as a scout at the historic old post which ia

THE SAINT PAUI, GLOBE: TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 2, 1897,
tflltk PET TODAY
COMMISSION APPOINTED TO INVES
TIGATE ALLEGED CRUELTIES
AT THE PRISON.
TO BE OPEN TO THE PUBLIC.
■
NOT EXPECTED THAT THE ACTUAL
WORK WILL BEG IX THIS
AFTERNOON.
RILES TO GOVERN PROCEEDINGS.
The Traveling; Man Who Visited
Fnrviell Says He Told Lund to
"Keep His Month Shnt."
At noon today the commission ap
pointed by Gov. Cluugh to investigate
the charges made against Depu
ty Warden Lemon and other attaches
of the state prison at Stillwater, will
meet at the state capitol. The com
mission consists of Judge Flandrau, of
this city; Stanley R. Kitchel, of Mlnne
! apolis, and B. F. Farmer, of Spring
i Valley, who came to St. Paul yester
day.
The commission of Gov. dough di
rects a full and absolutely open and
above board inquisition into the facts
and the commission is given all pos
sible latitude, in that it may go into
the general subject of prison discipline,
instead of confining itself to any one
or more specific charges of cruelty.
It is probable that nothing will be
done at today's session, further than
to agree upon the time and place of
continuing the investigation and the
rules to govern the proceedings, which
will be necessary when it comes to the
taking of testimony.
A reporter for the Globejias since
seen the Stillwater commercial traveler,
who visited Farwell last week and gave
ex-Guard Lund some advice. The gen
tleman in question corroborates the
warden's statement, that he wasn't out
to Farwell to shut off Lund.
"1 did tell Lund, however," said the
gentleman, "that he had better keep his
mouth shut; that nothing would come,
of the investigation."
NO APPEAL FOR LEE LA:;.
The Chinese Youth Will Have to Be
Deported.
Lee Lan, the Chinese youth, whose
cast- United States Commissioner J. J.
McCafferty decided was one that called
for deportation, must depart forthwith
for the Celestial empire whence he
came." Lee hoped against hope after
the decision of Commissioner McCaf
ferty, for he thought he had at least
the right of appeal. So did everybody
else connected with the case. Accord
ingly Lee's attorney, E. J. Darragh,
appealed to Judge Lochren, of the
United States district court, from tha
ruling of Commissioner McCafferty.
In the meantime United States District
Attorney Stringer vainly searched the
revised statues for any law author
izing an appeal In cases of this char
acter. Mr. Stringer thereupon moved
that the appeal be dismissed and
Judge Lochren was obliged to grant
the motion and dismiss the appeal.
It seems congress did pass a law
allowing the right of appeal in cases
of this character, but the operation of
the law was conditioned upon the
adoption of a certain treaty then
pending between the United States
and China. That treaty was never
adopted and accordingly the law never
went into effect.
Lee Lan will be taken to Seattle by
a deputy marshal as soon as the
marshal's office receives instructions
from the secretary of the treasury at
Washington. From there he will be
deported to China.
BORAX'S COSTLY HASTE.
Another Discharged Officer Sues the
City for Hack Salary.
Patrolman Patrick Lynch has
brought suit against the city to re
cover $1,136.98, which sum he alleges
is due him on account of unpaid sal
ary from June 16, 1896, until Oct. 20,
1897.
Lynch was doing duty on the cen
tral station detail when Mayor Doran
took office a year ago last June. In
less than two weeks. Lynch was in
formed that his services were no long
er required, as he declined to tender
his resignation. Since that time the
common council has failed to concur
in the mayor's action dismissing
Lynch, which concurrence is required
by the charter in order to remove a
policeman from the force. Lynch is
in consequence, still a patrolman, and
as such he sues for his salary.
In similar cases where the claims for
salary are comparatively small, the
common council is settling them upon
the advice of Corporation Attorney
Markham, who has assured the coun
cil that the city has absolutely no de
fense under the charter.
POSTOFFICE DELAYS.
Chamber of Commerce will Talk
Them Over Secretly.
It was announced in the chamber of
commerce yesterday that next Mon
day morning the chamber would dis
cuss the incomplete St. Paul postoffice
and the proposed changes in the Sjxth
stieet front. Senator Davis, Post
master Smith, Architect Bassford, F.
C. Stevens, Col. Kiefer, Collector Ger
aghty and others will be invited to at
tend.
The special order appointed for yes
terday, was the paving of the city
streets, but the committee was not
ready to report. It will meet Wednes
day afternoon.
Responding to an inquiry of the
chamber, Mayor Doran said that he
knew of no specific authority for the
establishment of a market around
Rice park. The teams had taken their
stand there as a sort of overflow, and
9 of their new store with a magnificent ■
9 Chrysanthemum exhibit. Thousands of I
S Rare Plants, Choice Cut Flowers and B

no one pretended that it could be tol
erated, excepting as a temporary ex
pedient during the fall, in order to
avoid the more serious criticism that
St. Paul compelled farm products to
seek a market in Minneapolis. A
council committee had asked the park
board to waive objections tp the use
of the streets, but it passed a resolu
tion that the occupancy of the streets
for such a purpose was inadvisable
and an outrage on tire residents there.
The mayor had instructed the mar
ket master to find other quarters for
the wagons, if possible, but to grant
such leniency as will avoid their seek
ing markets outside of the city.
The letters were referred to the com
mittee on municipal affairs.

continued yesterday, but proved futile.
A large area was dragged with grap
pling irons, but it is believed that the
bodies have by this time been carried
some distance down stream.
In view of the report that the suicides
were seen shortly before their sensa
tional plunges, apparently engaged in
writing a letter, it was thought that
• some of their fltfenda might receive,
in yesterday's mail, a communication
assigning a cause for their acts, but

such was not the case. Neither the
family of Amos nor Mr. Miller, Bergen
kreuger's friend, received a communi
cation from the sui<*des of any nature,
so that if the men really wrote a letter
it is likely that one or the other of
them carried the message about him in
the jump to death.

GO TO LOOK IT OVER
JURY IN THE CLEWETT CASE IN
SPECTS THE HOUSE OF THE
GOOD SHEPHERD.
MORE TESTIMONY IS TAKEN.
XORMAN CLEWETT TELLS ABOUT
HIS HAVING CALLED AT THE
INSTITUTION.
HE AND HIS MOTHER TOOK SELINA
The Cross-examination of Maisie
Roberts Completed — Josie Ander
son and Ema Cote Testify.
The jury in the Clewett case visited
the House of the Good Shepherd yes
terday afternoon. Gen. Clapp sug
gested the propriety of such a visit
when court convened after the noon
recess. At 3 p. m. the witness on
the stand was excused, while the coun
sel argued over the proposition to have
the jury taken out to the institution.
Mr. Butts finally consented to the ar
rangement, provided the plaintiff and
himself would be permitted to go
through the institution within ten or
fifteen minutes after the Jury had
passed through.
The jury departed at 3:30 p. m. in
the custody of Sheriff Wagener and
Deputy Arndt. They proceeded di
rectly to the House of the Good Shep
herd, and, after inspecting every de
partment, separated for the night.
The trial will be resumed at 10 a. m.
today.
The court room was crowded, as
usual, when Judge Brill took his seat
on the bench yesterday forenoon.
Norman Clewett. a cousin of the
plaintiff, was called. He testified that
in February, 1897, he went to the
House of the Good Shepherd with Mr.
Long, to secure the release of Miss
Clewett; it was a week after he learned
she was there. He met one of the
sisters and asked if a arirl named Se
lina Clewett was there. She went out
and soon returned, and asked again
for the girl's name, saying she thought
she was there. LateT she brought Se
iiiia in.
"I asked Selina if she wanted to
put, and she said yes. Thr-n I told her
"to go and get her clothes on, and I
would take her away. I was mad.
The sister did not refuse to let her go,
but said she had promised to ltt Selina
out in IMarch. Finally the sister told
me it was against the rules to let a
girl leave unless a lady went with her.
so I went down and got my mother.
Then we all left i.he house. Mr. Long
was a witness of all that took place.
Miss Clewett was very poorly dress* d."
Cross examined, witness said the
la&t time previous to this that he had
seen her was In Minneapolis. He
passed her on the street, but did not
speak to her. She did not see him.
Maisie Roberts, who had not com
pleted her testimony in cross-exami
nation when court adjourned Frihi\,
aeain took the stand. Gen. Clapp
asked if it was not a fact that the scar
over her eye was there before she
went into the house. Witness replied
in the negative. Asked where she
went after she left the House of the
Good Shepherd, she mentioned several
places, among them at Katie King's.
"What does she do for a living?"
"She keeps girls," replied the young
woman. The witness said she had vis
ted the House of the Good Shepherd
since she left there. She could not re
member having told the sisters that
she knew of some girls who would like
to enter, or that she herself would
like to return. The second time she
called she saw Sister St. Patricia, but
said nothing about returning. The.
third time she saw the mother superior,
and told her she had seen two of the
escaped girls in a bad house. The
mother asked witness if she herself
was in the same place, and, on re
ceiving an affirmative answer, asked
witness to return to the House of the
Good Shepherd. She refused at that
time.
When she entered the House of the
Good Shepherd, she told the sisters
and Mr. Hutchins that she was a rer
lation of the bishop of La Crosse, but
she afterward found out it was a mis
take.
On redirect examination, witness said
the girls were never allowed to carry
keys. Sometimes they unlocked or
lecked a door in sight of the sisters.
but were never trusted beyond this.
"Did you ever see Selina crying?"
"Many times."
"Did she tell jrcrtS why she cried?"
asked Mr. Butts.
"No, sir."
"Were you allowed to speak to the
mother superior without permission?"
"No, sir. Wo were punished for it by
being made to kneel in the middle of
the floor, turn our dresses, and such
things."
Josie Anderson was next called. She
said she was twenty years of age. and
pot out of the House of the Good Shep
herd June 29. Her father sent her there
the first time. The second time she
was sent there for three months by the
municipal court, and stayed there for
a year and seven months. Witness was
onV of the girls sent after Selina Cle
wett when she escaped.
"Who told you that Selina was going
to try and e«care?" asked Mr. Butts.
"Mother Provincial. She told us to
stay home from mass and watch her.
Selina broke the window with a brick
and jumped through the hole, cutting
her hand."
"Well, then what?" asked Mr. Butts.
Witness narrated the story of the at
tempted escape. Selina ran a block,
with the girls in pursuit. The pursu
ers had no shoes or stockings on, hav
ing taken them off at the direction of
I the mother superior. Selina jumped
I into a milk wagon, and resisted, say
ing she would not go back. Martin
then came along, and the whole party
secured her. Selina continued to ob
ject, saying she would go down to the
court. Martin said the .sister had sent
him to bring Selina back, and for her
to hurry up. Selina says they had no
right to take Her back, and she would
make trouble. Selina and the girls
finally got into the milk wagon and
went back.
When the gate was reached, a sister
ordered Selina to get out, but the
plaintiff refused. The sisters then
sent the other girls back into the
house, and witness saw no more.
"Did you ever see a sister whip a
girl?"
"I saw one of them slap Mary Rob
erts, who was kneeling on the floor.
Her nose bled. I saw Mother St. John
hit a girl with her office book."
Witness said Selina had often told
her she wanted to get out; nearly
every day.
"You were over eighteen years or
age when you went in the second
time?" asked Mr. Butts.
"Yes. sir, and I told them so."
In the cross-examination, Miss An
derson said she did not leave the place
when she had expected to. Si3ter
Zephyrine asked the witness to write
a letter home to her mother, asking
permission to stay. Her mother did
not come until a wc-ek before her tims
was up, when witness, at the sugges
tion of the sister, told her mother she
was satisfied to remain. Miss Ander
son had been told by her mother that
she was eighteen and was her own
boss. Witness, at one time, considered
entering the Magdalenes, but was not a
Catholic.
Emma Cote, a girl of French extrac
tion, eighteen years old. living at 800
Agate street, was sworn. Miss Cote
said she entered the house Oct 18,

The Famous Books of the World.
James Russell Lowell once made the
remark that history is after all but a
chronieie of the deeds of a few great
men; and it might with equal justice
be .said that the world's literature—
it* vital and enduring part — is com
posed of a comparatively few great
books. A knowledge of these is es
si n t ia! to anything like a broad liter
ary culture; and it is one of the spe
cial services of Charles Dudley War
ner's wonderful new Library that it
has an entire section devoted to what
are termed the famous hooks of the
world. Here the general reader la
provided with a clear, vivid glimpse
of those masterpieces of literature :
upon which, in so many instances, the .
fr.me of the greatest writers now
chiefly rests. Very often it ba]
that a single splendid work has given
Immortality to a name that would else
have long since i>een blotted out.
Within this remarkable section are
some twenty-five hundred gfr i
descriptions and analyses of celebrated
novels, dramas, poems (with their |
plots and characters), essays, his
tories, and rare and curious books of
every kind. Here, for example,
r:ay find a graphic digest of a work
so ancient as Plato's "Ri public," or
one so rare as the old "Chronicle ol
the Cid," or again one may find the
I plot characters and salient features of
' such modern works as "Robert
I mere." "Sentimental Tommy," or even
: "Beside the Bonnie Briar Rush."
' Then, on much the same eider. Is yet ,
| another section d< voted to famous
: single poems, masterpieces of song
I and familiar hymns, which have not
'■ otherwise been Included in the Li
brary. This department likewise
sweeps the whole field, ancient and
modern, not omitting the Persian
the Greeks, nor yet selections from
: many poets now living who are still.
; as it" were, upon the waiting list of the
World's Academy of the Immortals.
: In short, for the purposes of literary
i ctudy for reference. f.>r refreshing
| one's memory or looking up disputed
: points, the Library Is a work that no
j one who loves books and rea-ding and
cares to feel well informed can afford ;
to be without.
