10 KO LESS SOI WILL SERVE SCHOOL BOARD IS UNANIMOUS AS TO THE BUDGET President Zimmerman'* Letter to the Mayor Accompanying the Htiditet Pre«ent« the Cane Very IMalnly, ami Declare* It* Need* to Be of the «reate«t Importance to the Community. The school budget for the year com mencing Sept. 1, IS9B. and ending June 30, IMS, as prepartd by the board of school Inspectors, was submitted to Mayor Kiefer yesterday by President Zirrimermann, of the board. The budget asks for a total of $4C1, --e,> which is $41,578 more than wae al low, <1 by me council for the last year. Thi ii crease in salaries to be paid teachers is $'.'5,626.38 more than was imid the past year. This is accounted fw from the fact that there were 521 teachers last year and the budget for the coming year calls for 550. Tiv budget also calls for $30,540 for salaries of engineers and janitors, which is $5,521.1 more than was expend ed last year. The remainder of the Increase over the amount allowed by the council last year is for repairs on ai ,1 additions to buildings. The total amount asked for by the board is dlvi'Jed as follows: For tahiries of teaches * 3^'?m For salarifs o: engineers and janiurs. J5,;-iy For salaries of officer* and clerks .... 7.36J For purchase of tuel ».«» For j.urchase of supplies V , For use oi real estate committee Zi> v.i) Total **0,878 Accompanying the budget was a let ter from President Zimraermann ad dressed to Mayor Kiefer, in which he In compliance with the charter require ments I ha\e the honor to submit for your oouslderation a lull and comprehensive leP^rt ■bowing the requirements and ,«übm tting the annual budget lor the maluter.aiice oi our tree sh<x,ls system. The most important question now calling upvu the attention of thi3 board is that of providing proper school facilities to acrom modate our constantly Increasing school popu lation. At i>ies>ent our solio.'l accommoda tions are totally inadequate for the accom modation of pupils who are entitled to school privileges. We inu^t have a.l day sessions if possible, «,nd g. od. well-wanued. well-lighted aud well ventuaied sehiK)! rooms; not annex rooms In stores, churches, and other buildings, which are in no way adapted for school purjO.es. The construction of new bui. dings and ad ditions to our present o-nes is a serious mat ter and should be given attention at ti.is time. The construction of new buildings has long been neglected or made impossible by lacK of funds and the opening of the frese:it a hjol Veai iii.ds Lhui alnu-.st every school district Is greatly in need of additional noms. The expenditure within the cext thre" years, for this purp<>se, of $250. 000 would not more thaii meet the requirements, therefore we can eider it unwise, In the city's present financial condition (hampered as we are by legislation) to ask for a sum sufficient to meet the re quirements, on account of the enarmous amount that would be necessary to nijet the demands. lii submitting this budget we make no re quest for a fund for new school bui'dlngs, jut renew our request of last year, as reoom fliended In my letter to your predecessor, tirheiein we question the advisability of the construction of new buildings when we have t>ut a limited amount available for educational purp; ses. We advise the preservation, so far as pos sible of our present school syptetn, and the repair of buildings in order that they miy ba habitable and fit for occupancy. It has been the custom of the council to allow suoh inadequate sums for the commit tee on real estate, that many repairs and im provementa have long been neglected, year . afttr yiar, and the present deplorable condi tion of our buildings makes It necessary that relief be granted at once; that a larger amount be allowed this year we deem essen tial for the economical maintenance of the school property and to preserve It from fur ther deter ioraricn. Tins past year has managed to hold the total maintenance account within the limit of f420,00Q allowed, but such economy has not been fffrclcd without Injury; it no long er can be said that further economies are pos sible "v.'lthout impairing the efficiency of the school system." Economy which means a refusal to build school buildings and properly equip them, al lowing the employment of the proper num ber of teachers and placing no more than the proper number of pupils In each room, is a short-sighted- policy, which results In a forced Impairment of our greatest institu tion. It is doubtless a good thing and a wise. policy to economize in other lines of munici pal affairs, but when it comes to applying rigid rules of economy In equipping schools you strike at the foundation of the institu tlc n un>n highly prized by all our citizens. The trouble is a great many people do pot or will not realize that the educational affairs in St. Paul can no longer be conducted OB a village plan, and that our city Is a» I great and prosperous as our people try to make It. There should be, and I believe there is, no difference of opinion regarding the mainte nance of our schools upon the highest and broadest plane. We dtsire an appropriation by the coun cil of a sum sufficient to maintain the schools for the entire year upon the basis suggested by the accompanying budget. After a careful consideration of all mat ters by each and every member of the board, we have determined that any less amount will shorten the school year, and the action of the council will entirely govern our plans for the | cmi loyment of teachers and laying out of. j the school work for the ensuing year. It is our hope that public attention will j be aroused to the necessity of securing reme dial legislation in order to give relief And raise the present school tax rate from two and one-haif mills to a rate sufficient to meet the requirements of our educational system. We desire that the teachers may feel sec.iro in their positions and the unrest that hai bti n iVlt in the past may be replaced by a feeling of confidence. The teachers deserve great credit for the efforts they have made to hold thembelves to their regular duties under the adverse conditions of the past few years. It is to be hoped that before the c!o3e of I another year matters will have assumod definite shape and that any changes In the administration will have co commended them- j selves that we can all undertake our duties ( with a feeling of certainty and solidity. The majority of the members of this beard feel encouraged in being able to say that the general oversight of the educational Interests t arc In charge of an official who is a superin- i tendent in everything that the term Implies, and that whatever Is needful for an Improved efficiency in our schools will be Impartially carried out. If St. Paul Is to be and remain a truly great city, it can only he through the educa- ! tion given to her children in the ehV.lc | schools, therefore, we need and ask your : Bympathy and support; the co-operation of the j common council and of the citizens of this i city, to whom the public sehr.ols belong and ; who have a deep interest in their welfare and effn'toticy. The budget gives the number of tone.e ra n- ; ci d du:lng f. c corning year as 550, with salaries as follows: 1 at $2,100 1 at $1,700, 1 at $1,020, 2 at $1 600, 8 at $1.4..'0, 1 at $1.3U0. 8 at $1,200, 8 at $1 150 1 at 1.100. 1 at $1,080, 1 at $1,050, 32 at $1 000* 2 at $950, 8 at $SfO. 5 at $800. 3 at $750, 7 at $720. 31 at $C7o. 6 at $650. 51 at $630, 4 at $JOO 87 st $585. 45 at $540, 117 at $500, 43 at $450 59 at $400, 12 at $350. Schedules submitted with the bud get showed that the number of pupils attending the schools for the past year I was: 24.240, and the total number of i eittings Is given as 20,556. For the year ending June 30, IS9B ! salaries paid were as follows: Salaries paid teachers $329,061 62 i We will keep open Monday (the 4th of July) until noon. Tiiiira Iff IBfl HI tKHKI. Cor.

Salaries paid engineers and janitors. 30,020 00 Salaries paid mechanics and labor ers 7,968 83 Salaries paid officers and clerks 6,575 00 Total salaries paid $373,025 46 Under the law the budget must be sent to the council within ten days after it is received by the mayor. The council has the power to change the total amount asked for by the board by reducing the total amount to be paid for salaries to teachers and employes, bit has no power to increase or raise the same. Mayor Kiefer slated yesterday, that as the law pave him the authority to approve or disapprove of the recom mendations cf the school board and make recommendations to the council, he should take the budget under con sideration. It was hardly possible, he thought, that It would be sent to the council before the week commencing July 11. POLISH SINGERS' CONCERT To Be Given Under Direction of Prof. Mallek, of Chicago.

Among the passengers on the Great Northern coast train which left the union depoc Friday afternoon were five children. Two, who have been brought up In luxury, traveled in a private car, while the two others were poor little tots who were going alone from Chicago to Seattle, with none but strangers to extend a helping hand to them. The private car party were the son and daughter of Marcus Daly, the millionaire ranchman, of Montana. They are Marcus Daly Jr. and his sis ter, Miss Nadge Daly, Howard Welch, a friend, and Mrs. Shields and Mrs' Corbett. Young Daly is returning from school in New Hampshire with his friend Welch, and Miss Daly has been visiting Eastern friends. Their car is furnished with every comfort, and they reported that they had a very pleasant trip. They came from Chicago on the Omaha road. The other children were Elias and Zella Cook, aged five and four, re spectively, who are on their way from Chicago to Seattle. They, too, came over the Omaha, road, and were met at the depot by Passenger Agent J. P. Turner, of the Great Northern, who had received advices about them from Passenger Agent Lowery, in Chicago. They recently lost their mother, and their father, who is in business in Seattle, sent for them, trusting to the railroad companies to take them safe ly on their long Journey. Their bag gage consisted of one small grip, which the boy carries with considerable pride, while he linked arms with his sifter, who clung to him fearing they might become separated and lost. The tots attracted a good deal of Interest and sympathy among the passengers. They had tickets for a berth, and sev eral ladies volunteered to look after them during the journey to the coast. WAR SETTLED ALASKA. Pat Conley Says There Is No Travel Into the Conntry. Pat Conley is home from Alaska. Mr. Con ley went Into the country wrth the Idea of going to Dawson or some of the settlements at the head of the Yukon. He only went as far as Lake Bennet. "The war settled the business of Alaska," said he. "Last spring it was thought that half the people of the country would be off to the gold fields this summer. Instead of that resulting, there is no travel into th« country at all. Seattle Is dead, so Is Ska- uay. At Lake Bennet. the other side of tha pass, there is a little colony of people ia tents but there is no sort of excitement. "It is expected 'that there will be four or five millions in dust brought out this season, but as yet there is no news from the dig gings. "It is co trouble to get Into the country now, for there Is a tramway over the Chll coot. There Is a railroad that is being pushed rapidly along and if there is a re vival of Interest in the country this summer people will get over the pass all right I understood that there were to be a couplo of steamers put on the lakes soon after I left. I came home direct from Bennet." PRETTY LAWN FETE Given on Dayton Avenue for the Catholic Infants' Home.

EVASION OF STAMP DUTIES EXPRESS AND COMPANIES DENOUNCED Promlifent Local Merchant)* For mally ProteHt Asainut Having to Pay tUe Tnxca of the Railrond and Teleft-raph Companies, and Warn Them Nott to Tread Too Hard on the Tom of the Public. St. Paul merchants generally and the jobbers In particular have taken positive measures to express their views of the action of the big ex press and telegraph companies In sad- Sling on the general public the burden which the debates in congress clearly showed were intended to be borne by the carriers and telegraph companies themselves. It was evident from the temper of congress at the time the tariff bill was under consideration that It was desired to impose the burdens of the war as far as possible on those in stitutions which, while enjoying the benefits of the government 'to a great er extent than the private individuals, had yet not been compelled to assume the share of the cost of its mainte nance proportionate to the protection afforded them. This is the view taken of the case by the St. Paul Jobbers, and the fol- I lowing protests, submitted yesterday | to the addresses, show distinctly the l temper of the general business public j of the capital city: United State Express company, Adams Ex press company, Great Northern Exp-.esa company, American Express company Wells-Fargo Express company, Northern Pacific Express company. We, the wholesale merchan's- and manu- I facturers of St. Paul, most empha 1 ally pro test against your refusal to accept goods fiom us, unless we furnisti revenue stamps for your receipt to us for game. We con sider such action on your part neither r'ght nor reasonable, and feel sure that it is ro. In accordance wi;Ji the laws governing common carriers or the revenue law as it now s'anda.

If necessary to advance your I charges, R is within your power to do" so, I but we do not believe it is within your pow- I er to force us permanently to provide you with revenue stamps to attaah to your own receipts. To avoid annoyance and less to customers j and ourselves, we may comply with your j arbitrary demand temporarily and under pro- I test, but unless it ia promrjt'y wit", drawn we must appeal to the commissioner of Internal revenue and look to you for any loss to us • consequent upon your action.

The supreme count, In an opinion written by Chief Justice Start yester day In the case of John A. Sjoberg et al. vs. the Security Savings and Iyoan association, of Minneapolis, yes terday sustained the law of 1894. Sjoberg and the other parties in the action were stockholders in the Se curity Savings and Loan association and brought action for the appoint ment of a receiver. The savings and loan association had subsequently, un der the provisions of the law passed in 1897 permitting companies or asso ciations of that nature to go into vol untary liquidation to wind up their affairs, taken such steps, and the plaintiffs .attacked the constitutional ity of the law on the ground that it contained no enacting clause. The court holds that the objections of the plaintiff are valid, and for that reason the law of 1897 Is without ef fect. Judge Start's opinion, which is quite lengthy, says: "Unless a constitutional provision shows upon its face that it was intended to be director/, it must be accepted as the imperative man date of the sovereign people, and not as good advice, where the legislature or the courts may accept or reject as they please. The safety of the state and the protection of the liberty and rights of its people demand that this will be strictly adhered to. While the court holds the law of 1897 regulating the functions of building and loan associations invalid, it grants the Security Savings and Loan associ ation a new trial and reverses the or der of the Hennepin county district court, on the grounds that the associa tion had no outstanding liabilities, and it owed no persons except its stock holders, and, therefore, had a perfect right to, if a- majority of the stock holders so decreed, go into voluntary liquidation. Kris the company did some time previous to the time the action was brought, as above stated, and the Sjoberg party attacked its action also on the grounds that it was not for the best interests of the stock holders, and that the affairs of the company are being miserably man aged. The supreme court, In reversing the lower court's findings, says there is nothing in the evidence to prove this and grants a new trial to allow the estranged stockholders to settle the case or fight it out strictly on its legal points. The syllabus is as follows: John A. Sjoberg et al., respondents, vs. Se curity Savings and Loan Association, ap pellant. 1. Article IV., section 13, of the constitu tion of the state, which provides that the style of all laws of this state shall be: '"Be it enacted by the legislature of the state of Minnesota" is mandatory and a statute with out any enacting clause is void. 2. It is not competent, for the purpose of sustaining the validity of a statute which had no enacting clause when It was sent to and was approved by the governor, to show that it contained an enacting clause when it passed the legislature. 3. Where a building and loan association has no creditors or liabilities except Its lia bility to its stockholders on account of their stock, and there is a deficiency in its assets so that it cannot mature its stock or pay back to its stockholders the actual money paid on their stock, it is not insolvent in the sense In which the word is used In chapter 76, G. S. 1894, providing for the ap pointment of a receiver for corporations when they are insolvent. 4. A court of equity has Jurisdiction to wind up the affairs of a building and loan association, and for that purpose to appoint a receiver on the application of a minority of its stockholders, whenever the purposes for which it was- organized have failed, and It is shown that such action is reasonably nec essary for the protection of the Interests of such stockholders. 5. Where the trial court makes findings of fact as the basis of its order (although it is unnecessary so to do) and omit 3to find all facts legally necessary to sustain the order, It will be reversed unless the record con clusively shows that the order is right. 6. Held that the findings of fact of the trial court are not sufficient to Justify Its or der appointing a receiver herein. Order re versed and a new trial granted. EIGHT OTHER DECISIONS. Big Batch Handed Down, Although It Was Saturday. The city of St. Cloud won the suit brought against it by the First National Bank of Min neapolis. The syKabi of this and tho other decisions handed down by 'the supreme court yesterday are: First National Bank of Minneapolis, lant, vs. City of St. Cloud, respondent. Syllabus— l. This was an action to recover the contract price for hydrant rentals, and the defendant was entitled to have d«due'ed from such price its damages for an incom plete performance of the contract. The dam ages actually deducted by the referees W3re claimed by the defendant to be less than It was entiiiled to. Held, following Lane vs Doylan. 56 Minn., 90, that a motion wai properly made for a n«w trial on the ground that the decision was not justified by tho evidence. 2. This case was referred to referees to hear and determine, and they did so. There upon the court granted on conditions a now trial on the ground that the award was not sustained by the evidence. Held that the rule Qf Hicks vs. Stone, subject to the qua'.l flcation s'&ted in Hughley vs. City of Waba sha 72 N. W., 78,; apnlics to this case, and that the trial court did not abuse its discre tion In the premises. 3. Mere difficulties In assessing the dam ages Is no reason for denying them to a party who has a right to them as a substi tute for that of which he has been deprived by the fault of another. In casos it Is la competent to give opinion evidence tending to establish the amount of damages 'they are to be assessed in such reasonable sum as in the Judgment of the court or jury the evidence warrants. Ordor affirmed. —Start, C. J. In the matter of the estate of Sarah A Peck deceased. Myra Harding, appellant^ vs. E. V. Car.fleld, respondent Syllabus— l. The test of the liability of an executor for the loss of trust funds deposited in a bank which failed is whether he hon estly exercised in tho premises that deg-t-> of care which men of common prudrnce cr dlnarlly exercise In their own affafra. 2. Upon the trial of such an issue it was not error for the trial court to permit the executor to testify that when he made the do posit he believed the bank was solvent, and that he handled the trust funds as carefu'ly a* hla own. 3. Held, that the evidence In this ca3e sus tains the finding of the trial court to the ef i feot that the respondent did exercise due care and nrudeaca in the management of, tbe funds In his hands as executor. Judemont affirmed. —Start, C. J. Michael Hafner, ajppellant, vs. St Paul City Railway Company, respondent Syllabus— Held, that the evidence herein conclusively establishes the contributory n'g ligence of the plaintiff. Order affirmed ' —Start, C. J. St. Paul Gas Light Company, respondent, vs. Village of Sandstone, appellant Syllabus— 1. Chapter 146, Laws 18SS, pro viding for the incorporation of villages Is constitutional. 2. Where a municipal corporation Is act ing under color of law, and i-xercising nil of the functions and powers of a corporation de jure, and the legality of its incorporation has not been questioned by the Btate, but, on the contrary, it has been recognized as such for some years by the state, neither the municipal corporation nor any private party can question the validity of Its corporate ex istence in a collateral action or proceeding. 3. The defendant Issued Its negotiable bonds, pursuant to a majority vote or the electors of the village, for the purchase of water works for the village, under the pro | visions of Laws 1863, chapter 200. The bonds I recited that they were Issued under this act, | end that all the requirements of the constitu tion and laws of the state had b?cn fully complied with in the Issuance thereof. In fact, the statute had not been complied with in that tho bonds were not advertised for sale and cold at not less than par, but w. re I issued directly to a corporation in payment | of a system of water works purchased of it : for the village. Held, following l-\ilton vs. Town of Rlverton, 42 Minn., 395, that the bonds were valid in the hands of a bena fide holder for value without notice. 4. The plaintiff acquired the bonds as col lateral security for a loan made by X to a third party under circumstances which would, if It were an Individual, constitute it a bona fide holder of the bonds, but it was not authorized to loon money by Its charter.

The report of the committee on coinpu:Bory education was one of the important matters considered at the morning session of the state association for the deaf yesterday. The re port was presented by O. Hansen, of Farl- I bEult, chairman of the committee. The total enrollment of the school s'n-e its foundation has been 787 pupils. Of t'aese 231 have graduated or received honorable dis charges, and 346 have left tre school lor one reason or another before the CDiaple ion of their course. Less than half the pupils com plete the course allowed by law. The most serious matter is the number of deaf children who <so not attend the school at all. In 1891-2 there were 212 pupils in the school, yet the report of that year gave the names of V 66 other deaf children of school age who were not attending that or any other Institution. According to the census returns, there are In the state 1,400 deaf persons. Of that, number not more than 700 can be accounted for at the present t me, as being educated, for some of those who attend school have since died. Many who do come to the schools enter m such an advanced age that Instruction is diffl. cult. Out of the 757 admitted, 127 were over 16 years of age, or about one-^ixth of the whole number. The hope that this situat r on would imporve as the school became better Known, has not been carried out. Out of 201 admitted since 1892, forty-four wee over IS years of age. The percentage of illiteracy among the deaf and mutes must be as high as 60 per centum. The report says there is no reason why a single deaf child should grow up without education. B As a sample of the error of admitting older people into the institution, and an argument for admission, under compulsion, while chil dren, Mr. Hansen said one man was admitted by special permission, when 35 years if a** and was put In the class with children 8 and" 10 years old. He was anxious to leirn, but could not. He gave it up in discouragement me report urged some system of compulsory I education. In summing up the report the I following deductions were drawn: First— From one-third to one-'.ia'f the deaf in the state do not attend school at all and receive no instruction whatever. Second— Those who do attend schcol, do not on an average, remain half of the timo to which they are entitled. Third— To correct this, it was recommended that public sentiment be aroused and eff rta made through legislation or otherwise to secure the benefits of education for a greater number than heretofore. The report was unanimously adopted. J. C. Howard, of Duluth, was e'pc'el presi dent; Thomas Sheridan, of Faribault first vice president; Charles Thompson, of St' Paul second vice president; J. S. Bow of Minne apolis, secretary; L. W. Hodgeman, of Red Wing, treasurer. In the afternoon an address to the associa tion was given by the present superintend ent of the school at Faribault, J. N. Tate, In which he paid a high tribute to the work left him by Dr. J. L. Noyes. A paper was read by J. L. Smith, instructor of the d<-af setting forth the brief history of the school at Faribault. Mr. Smith paid a high compliment to the energy and steadfast fidelity of Hod Rodney A. Mott, one of me directors of rh B schcol, for the fortunate selection of the present .site of the school grounds thirtv-flvo years ago. Mr. Smith said that cine thin.? he wished to put forward is the school at Fari bault is not overcrowded, and that compared with other states, the Minnesota school leads tho list. As one of the successful schools for the deaf, and regarding the industrial or trades departments he looked for further progress in the near future productive of bet ter results. This state had pioneered and roughed it. so to speak, and the trade 3, of course, had suffered in the past. The deaf were now following at least fifty vocations. Ten Faribault students had taken degrees at the National Deaf Mute college at Washing ton, D. C. Religious service will be held at the First Baptist church this morning at 10:30 a. m by the regular pastor, and will be interpreted into the sign language for the benefit of the deaf. Services will also be held at the Church of the Good Shepherd, Twelfth and Cedar streets, and will be conducted by Rev. J. H Cloud at 3 p. m. Religious services will also be held In the senate chamber by Rev. Mr Cloud at 8 p. m. this evening. There wili also be add-res-sea on rel : gious subjects by members regarding the deaf. The convention adjourned last evening till Tuesday morning at 9:30. They will spend the Fourth on tho steamer Henrietta and at the Dalles of thp St. Croix. The steamer leaves the dock at the foot of Jackson street promptly at 9 a. m. CONCERT AT COMO. Programmes That Will Dc Rendered at the Park.

Point iin to Surety Dondi Made Clear by mi Asnemblyman. "There is no chance," said a member of the assembly yesterday, "for the resolution di recting the payment by the city of the premium on a surety bond for the city treas urer to pass the council. "To tell the truth I don't sea wliy «uch action should be taken. The majority of the council, aa well as the citizens, have a wrong idea as to the question. It Is thought by many that if a surety bond was secured for the treasurer It would mean the city would be reimbursed in case any of the banks In which city funds were deposited should cloee. "There Is nothing to this content vi, the only thing the surety bond does Is to protect the city against any loss which might happen by reason of the dishonesty or earelewness of the treasurer or any of his deputies. These does ont seem to be any likelihood of this, and for one, I shall oppose the payment of $1,7C0 or any other sum from city funds for tae purpose of securing a surety bond."
