It Han Banked Ip Huge Piles of
Snow, Which Are a Detriment

Plumbing System Also Gave the
Street Committee Something- of
a Problem.
The committee on streets from the
assembly discussed ln an informal way
at its meeting yesterday the question
of having the sidewalks and streets
cleared of snow.
Borne of the assemblymen are ln
favor of the enforcement of the or
dinance which provides that twenty
fuur hours alter a snow fall if the
•walks are not cleared the street force
shall do the clearing and the expense
be charged up to the property owners.
Others held that it would not be legal
.-ess the property owners, as it
•was a question whether the owners or
the city were the ones to stand the ex
pense. The matter will be taken up at
the assembly meeting Thursday night.
On the question of having the streets
nnd particularly those in the business
district cleared of snow, the committee
was a unit. It was stated that the
city engineer's office was doing the
best lt could ln this direction, but that
the street and sewer fund was about
exhausted. This brought up the old
matter of whether the street railway
company was doing any work in this
direction. Assemblyman Craig said the
tympany was doing nothing, and that
some of the streets along which cars
wetfe operated were in horrible condi
tion, pedestrians being obliged to wade
thiough two feet of snow pushed Into
the gutters by snow plows. He ad
vis-ed that If the stieet railway com
; did not ut once commence the
work of removing the snow that the
city force take hold and charge the
expense up to the company.
Thompson favored this plan, and
explained how two years ago the city
I the street railway company to
pay JI.BOO into the city treasury for this
kind of work.
The committee will consult with the
city engineer between now and Thurs
day, and when the assembly meets will
i prepared to act ln the matter.
.". delegation, consisting of A. F.
Gauger, J. (\ McCarthy and Edward
Btewart, appeared before the commit
tee ns imposed to a repeal of a resolu
tion which passed the board of alder
men. Some six weeks ago a resolu
tion passed both bodies directing the
I car company to stop its Como
int'-'rurban cars at the Intersection of
Chatswortta Btreet, Van Slyke avenue,
Armyle street and Como boulevard.
Tu.i weeks ago Aid. Bantz Introduced
and had passed by the alderman a res
olution repealing the previous one.
It was to head off this that the com
mit tie came ln, and Mr. Gauger In
formed the committee that the com
pany had refused to pay any attention
to tbe resolution directing it to stop
its ears at the Intersection of the
; mentioned. An adverse report
w;.s i.i omnu nded on the repealing res
olution and a new one prepared, which
directed tbe corporation attorney to
request the company to enforce the
original resolution, and If it was not
put in operation to take such action as
was necessary to secure its enforce
ment.
The contract submitted by the Gas
Bavins company, by which the city
was to pay $35 per month for five
months, for having regulators put on
the pas meters in each of the public
buildings, was ordered sent back to
the assembly without recommendation.
Investigation showed tbere were now
eighteen of the regulators in service.
Chief (loss ln a letter extolled the mer
its of the regulators and showed that
ln nine months the five In use at the
police stations had saved $361.49. as
compared with the same time without
them.
As the price charged for the eighteen
under tbe contract was about $2 ench
per month and Assemblyman Nelson
stated that he had one for which ho
was paying only $1 per month, the
committee desired more light before
approving the oontrfict.
Tbe resolution allowing P. Glelcb A
Co. to connect the plumbing put ln
by the firm in St. Agnes' scb.ool with
Uie sewer, will be taken up by the
assembly Thursday night. It Is claim
ed that the new system of ventilation

In tbe school Is far superior to that
provided for by the ordinance, and the
contractors agree that if it should not
be satisfactory or sanitary lt would
be removed In ten days.

to the new system, as also did ths
plumbing inspector ln the building in
spector's office. Dr. Stone held that
the new plan was an experiment; that
it would allow sewer gas to escape in
the building and if it was allowed to
be connected with the sewer it might
prove detrimental to the health of tha
800 pupils in the school. Tha clause
providing for Its removal, If it was
unsanitary, within ten days, Dr. Stone
said, would be like locking the stable
door after the horse had been stolen.
Aid. Bantz, who fathered the resolu
tion In the board, said ail the plumbing
was ln and but two hours work re
mained to connect the same.
George N. Gerlach, superintendent of
repairs ln the public schqpls, who was
also a member of the building commit
tee which had charge of the parochial
school, had stated that the new sys
tem was better than the one provided
for by the city ordinance. Dr. Stone,
the city plumbing Inspector, Mr. Ger
lach and the contractor who has the
work of putting ln the plumbing, will
be given a chance to explain at the
assembly meeting Thursday night.
CANT MAKE HIM VOTE
AT THE PRIMARIES
CHAMBER OF COMMERCE LAID
THE PRIMARY LAW OVER
H. S. Fairchiid Thought That Ita
Requirement ln Tbl* Respect
Would Bring: It Witbin the Pro
hibition of the Constitution.
The chamber of commerce yesterday post
poned discussion of the proposed primary
election law fcr two weeks. The ques.lon
caused considerable discussion. H. S. Fair
chiid objected to the clause which provides
for the disqualification of a citizen who doe«
not voto at the prhna-ry. He declared the
law would be unconstitutional if the clause
was Included. There ls no const tutloncl re
quirement that a voter shall have voted at
a primary.
Roe* Clarke said he was preparing a bill
which would be entirely constitutional and
he wanted time to complete the draft. He
proposed to place th» expense of prlmari s
where It belonged and he a*ked a postpone
ment for two weeks. It was unanimously
granted.
A resolution calling upon Oov. Elect Lind
to appoint a non-partisan bank examiner to
succeed Bank Examiner Kenvon was laid on
the table.
Quite a breeze was stirred up by the mer
cantile and manufactures committee which
reported tha* It was better to have open
competition among stone cutters of ihe state
for work in St. Paul rather than to confl-e the
work to St. Paul stone ctftters. The report
was ln response to a request of the local
unions to let local stone cutters only
work on public buildings. The committee's
n-port was unsatisfactory and it was referred
back to it. Seve.-al members of the chamber
thcuKtot that as it was but recently that a
movement wan started in this city to patronize
home industries this was a good opportunity
to prove tho sincerity of the business men
interested ln it.
Communications regarding the Nicaraguan
canal and the anti-scalplng Committee of
Chicago wore reforred back to committees
having them In charge.
Maj. Espy wanted the chamber to recom
mend tho establishing of a veterinary hos
pital at the state asrlcultural school, but the
chamber persuaded him to let the subject
go until another meeting.
TO THE POORHOUSE.
Snd Downfall of a Former Minne
apolis Physician.
Dr. E. N. Fishblatt, once a prominent phy
sician of Mlnn-eaix>'ls, Is a physical wreck
from the use of drugs, pauperized and unablo
to care for himself.
Through tha board of control, he has been
given permission to en«er the Ramsev county

a charge upon chaiitable people of the city
and boa boen staying at Uie Bothel. His
condition haa beo-une such that he cannot
care for hlmsolf. On Saturday permission
wue given to allow him admittance to tie
poor house, and yesterday he was taken
there, along the streots in the vehicle that
carries other unfortunate* to this unpopular
place.
FishbKtt has little resemblance to the man
of former days. It is said that ho contracted
the morphine habit several years ago. and
has been on the downward grade Rinee that
time. His practice went, his friends deserted
him, and he began to room about and pr«<«
tice his profi«aion only at times. Yetterday
morning he was allowed some time to bid
friends good bye. He ls about 45 years of
age, comes from a good family, and had an
excellent niedioal education.
"CASEY, THE PIPER."
One of the Attractions at the Palm

Not so many new faces greeted the Palm

REFORM THE BALLOT
SUGGESTION THAT THEJ XEW YORK
TICKET BE ADOPTED MEETS
FAYOB
WITH MEN OF BOTH PARTIES
It lv Regarded br * Hum ber of
Voters a« Being; a Good Solution
o* tbo Question Talks "Witb a
Number of Politicians and Otbers
•f tbe Twin Cities AH Agree
Tbat a Change Is Desired.
Two eminent Republicans yesterday
gave their unqualified indorsement of
The Glob«'i suggestion that the
blanket ballot used In New York state
should be adopted In Minnesota. They
were none others than Chief Grain
Inspector Clausen and Judge Mills, tha
railway commissioner.
, l J hi^ J the _ blanket ballot would be
a splendid thing," said Mr. Clausen
to a reporter for The Globe "It
would simplify voting very much. It
has every requisite at a secret ballot.
£ i ? v .?. n tbe moßt Illiterate may vote
it Intelligently. There are some edu
cated persons in Minnesota who now '
tnink that by placing a crosß opposite
tne candidate for governor they vote
ror every other candidate of the party
and in that way the subordinate can
didates lose many hundreds of votes.
The blanket ballot obviates such mis
takes. A man may vote as he chooses
and it is his own fault if he neglects
to vote as he wishes. I think the state
•hould adopt the blanket ballot,"
JUDGE MILLS LIKES IT.
"The blanket ballot as shown In The
Globe ls the best yet devised," said
Judge Mills. "One glance at It ls suf
ficient to convert the moat skeptical as
to Its excellence. I really believe vot
ing machines should be employed, but
next to a machine the blanket ballot
is the beat solution of the question
how to vote with absolute secrecy.
The blanket ballot is much better than
the system we now have, for lt saves
time and guards against fraud."
HAS MANY GOOD POINTS.
Col. W. P. Clough, vice president of
the Great Northern Railway company,
said he believed the blanket ballot an
excellent one.
"It has many good points," he said, |
"which the present method does not I
possess."
E. G. Rogers— l cannot see that there !
would be disadvantage worked to eith
er party in the use of such a ballot.
It is clear that, as things stand, the
men at the end of the ticket labor un
der a disadvantage and would be car-
I ried along by their party, If the ticket
was differently disposed. It ls appar
ent that people will not labor through
the list of names as at present put on
the ballot, and every man nominated
should have an equal chance for the
support of hia party.
DIVISION OF TICKET.
An eminent jurist, who declined to
be quoted, said: "I do not care to dis
cuss the merits of any proposed elec
tion system, but I do think that the
whole ground would be covered if
there was provision made for a divis
ion of the ballot into three sections. I
believe that the whole list of candi
dates would have an equal chance ln
the running, if there was, at every
election, a division of the ballots Into
three parts, one executive, one legis
lative and the other judicial. Our sys
tem of government is divided that way
and tha ballot should be so divided. "
THINKS IT WOULD BE GOOD.
"I have not given the matter much
attention," said Mayor Klefer, "but If
lt ls possible to have a ballot by which
the voter can, by making one mark,
vote the straight ticket and also have
the privilege of selecting candiida.tea of
the several parties, I should think lt
would be a good thing."
FAVORS SOME CHANGE.
E. A. Young, of the firm of Finch,
Van Slyck, Young & Co., says he ls
heartily ln favor of the adoption of
some more comprehensible state ballot
than the one now ln use, and that he
thinks the New Yv<rk ballot would
make an excellent substitute.
"The New York ballot," satld Mr.
Young, "Is more simple in its arrange
ment than the state ballot used ln Min
nesota, and the provision for voting a
straight ticket that removes the neces
sity of marking a aross against every
carxlidaKe's name, would, ln my opin
ion, strongly commend Itself to the In
telligent voter. The use of symbols
over each ticket is not necessary to
the simplicity of the ballot. I think,
but in cases of uneducated voters
might assist them in voting the ticket
they desired. The necessity for a
change of some kind from the style of
ballot now ln use seems to me impera
tive, as its complications undoubtedly
oonfuse the voters."
JUDGE RAND'S IDEA.
Lars M. Rand, Minneapolis — I think
It would be a good idea to have a
law which would permit a main to vote
a straight ticket without unnecessary
effort. I always vote the ticket
stral&bit from top to bottom, but I pre
sume there are many who, either In a
hurry through Indisposition to spend
the time required, or uncertainty as to
the number they may vote for for a
certain office, fail to follow the ticket
hrto the minor offices. I am ln favor of
a revision of the present election laws
on tight lines.
JUDGE HICKS' VIEWS.
Judge Henry G. Hicks, Minneapolis —
I am not familiar with the reform pro
posed by The Globe, but I have look
ed over some of the bills which are
floating around. Those I have seen
fail to hit the vital point in the abuses
of the present sj-stem, which is the
lessening of the proper dignity of the
primary. The primary, to my mind, is
as sacred as the election final, and lt
should be given as effective safeguards.
I do not think much of the straight
ticket voting system. If a man wants
to vote, he should be able to mark his
ticket. But the chief evil can be
reached, I think, by entrusting to the
primary the absolute election of the
nominee. There should be no dele
gated power, no delegate conventions.

Wrong: at th« Drtxnary and tha error
Is of minor importance, but when a
delegate to a party convention, repre
senting, supposedly, the Judgment of
both of us and several hundred others,
makes a mistake or sells out, it Is
serious. Thsra was not a citizen of
Minneapolis who had anything to say
about the nomination of tha officers
recently elected ia this state aside from
governor. Tfce governorship was the
only matter voted on at the Repub
lican primaries here.
mr. ULGaarrsTESR says nay.
"The adoption? of the New York
form of tha Australian ballot in Min
nesota," said W. H. Llghtner, "would,
in my opinion, not be advisable from
any standpoint The chief objection is
that it provides for marking the bal
lots in two ways. This in itself is
sufficient reason, I think, why the
New York form should not be adopt
ed. In fact, Ido not think any change
should be made in the form of state
ballot now used. It cannot be improv
ed upon.
"In the first place the Minnesota
state ballot and the county ticket, if
arranged after the New York plan,
would be so bulky as to be almost
unmanageable. In Its present form it
is plain and intelligible to the voter
who has the names of all of the can
didates for each office before him
when he is making a choice. In the
New York form the voter must run
clear across the ballot to see who are
the candidates for the different offices.
The different party names are printed
plainly after the name of the party
candidate on our present ballot so that
the voter can know what ticket he ls
voting without the confusion of signs
and symbols at the head of the lists.
Then, as a matter of faot, if the New
York form should be adopted lt would
be merely going back to the first form
of the Australian ballot used ln Min
nesota. When the system was orig
inally adopted there was a provision
whereby the voter could vote a straight
ticket by placing a mark at the top
and ln the center of any list. This
was practically the same as the pro
vision for voting a straight ticket tn
the New York plan and was abandon
ed ln Minnesota as 111 advised. This
state has then to all Intents and pur
poses tried the New York ballot and
found lt not what was desired, when
the law specifying the form of ballot
was changed to meet the requirements
of what is considered more practical
and comprehensible methods of voting.
"In my judgment the only effect of
the use of the New York ballot would
be to bring about a stricter party vote.
This, I think, Is not what ls wanted.
This form of ballot is used ln Penn
sylvania and other Eastern states and
has been the subject of much adverse
criticism."
HAD A SILVER SPOON
UNDER HIS JACKET
WALTER SCOLLARD FORGOT TO
LEAVE IT AT THE JAIL
If He Had Money He Would Prob
ably Be Pronounced a. Victim of
Kleptomania As It Is, He Is In
dicted for Larceny.
When the case of.Walter Scollard was called
ln the municipal court yesterday afternoon
there was apparently no re ponse and Judge
Orr glanced around for the prisoner.
"Where ls h«T inquired the oourt.
"Here, your honor," responded the bailiff,
and the judge peered over his desk at the
coal-black nine-year-old culprit *vho stared
back ln a verymm ehalant manner.
The youngster was chargtd with Incorri
gibility and, according to Truancy Agent Wel
lington, 1* an excellent specimen of the
genus degenerate. Walter has been living
with his aunt, ilrs. L. Lawrence, at 20« Rice
street, and his nether ts at present serving a
work house sent»_;ce. Owing to an apparently
uncontrollable hiainla tor theft, Mrs. Law
rence has freqjioMly found It necessary to
chastise her nephew, and on the last occasion
the boy retaliated by setting fire tc ths
house.
"I'll t«ach her to lick me," he remarked,
while Mr. Wellington was explaining his
record.
Owing to the absence of witn» ees the case
was continued mull next Friday and the
bailiff started to escort his charge back to
the county Jail. In leaving the court room a
large silver spoon dropped from boneath the
little ragged Jacket. Welter remarked, in
explanation, that he had forgotten to leave
it at the Jail.
A thorough inspection of the county Jail,
the lock-up at police headquarters and the
work house failrd to convey a lesson strong
enough to break eleven-year-o"d Paul Krelser
of a penchant tor theft, according to the tes
timony of his father. Fred Kreiaer. In the
municipal court yesterday. Mr. Kreizfr In
formed Judge Orr that the youngster, al
though furnished with but a limited supply
o* pocket money, ln some manner kept him
self supplied with small articles, the pos
session of which he was unable to account
for. In support of hU testimony the father
exhibited four toy watches, a small tin
hatchet, two tops and several pocket knives
which had been taken from Paul. To try
and Impress on the youth the necessity for
reformation Mr. Kreizer, who ls an tvangilst.
living on Coacord street, told the court that
he had taken the smell culprit to- all the
penal institutions ln the county to show him
what happened to bad boy*. This, however,
proved of no avail and the father asked that
his eon might be sent to the training school.
Truant Agent Wellington stated that he be
lieved tiie boy to be a kleptomaniac.
The case waa oontluued by Judge Orr until
today.
RONDO STREET GRADING.
Bids Were Opened by tiie Board of
Pnblio Works.
The board of pubiic works yesterday opened
bids for tbe grading of Rondo street be
yond Western avenue. There wer«
three bidders: Fielding & Shepley, $8,200;
Nicholas Fey en. $10,764; Thomas Linnau,
$7,770. The board laid over tae atoard cf the
contract until Dec. &.
Rondo street at the point mentioned
was widened some years ago by taking ten
feet off the lots on the south side of the
street. Between Mackubtn street and Western
avenues the property owners request that the
street be tilled in so as to do away with the
gulch which now makes the street practically
of no use for travel.
The owners ln the district mentioned claim
that if the entire street is to be assessed for
the grading, the most of which Is to be done
on the west end, that the east end be also
fixed as It should be. The award of tbe con
tract will probably be held up until some
conclusion is arrived at regarding the filling
of the street near Aruadel.
Assessments were confirmed for grading an
alley ln block 8, Merriam Park, Second addi
tion and for slspes on Hatch street between
Sylvan and Park s venue.

Wagroin Had Two Loads .
Charles Myquist arrived in St. Paul
yesterday afternoon from Dakota with
$8 in cash and a check for $150. By
10 o'clock he had been assaulted and
robbed of his wealth and was locked
up at police headquarters for safe
keeping, together with two of his al
leged assailants. Another man who
had a hand in the affair ls still at
liberty. The money was not recover
ed.
During the afternoon Myquist visited
a number of saloons in the course of
becoming acquainted with the city and
when he started to stroll down Sibley
street at 10 o'clock he had a jag of
some proportions. In the dark alley
between Third and Fourth streets he
was accosted by three men. With a
muttered exclamation one of them
struck Myquist in the face, knocking
him down. Then the prostrate man
was dragged into the alley and the
three men proceeded to rifle his clothes.
They secured the check and cash.
Myquist recovered consciousness
enough to shout for help and Patrol
men Smith and Ryan ran up, while
the assailants were still standing over
the prostrate man. Two of the men
were captured and the third, who Is
described as being a tall man with a
scarred face, ran up the alley and es
caped.
The two men were taken to police
headquarters where they were posi
tively identified by Myquist. They gave
their names as Michael Kelly and
Barney Hayes, and both claimed to bo
strangers ln the city.
Myquist, whose face had been badly
battered, was too much under the In
fluence of liquor to give Capt. Rouleau
a very coherent story of the occur
rence. He gave his occupation as "a
business man" and stated that he was
on his way to Chicago from Dakota.
He was locked up for safe keeping.

j the trustees to beautify tho grounds, by their
patronage of the greenhouses and the pur
chase of flowers for their lots and VR»es. Our
sales for the current year amount to $3>»7.
As ireual the treasurer's report ls very full
acd explicit, and we hope will answer all
question* that may be asked.
The amount of work done in the cemetery,
as shown by the eupe-lntendent's very full
and detailed report of operations, will bo
more fully realized by any one who makas
a tour of the grounds and observes, year by
year, the smoothing down of the rough places,
the improvement of the avenues and the
new planting* of trees and shrubs.
We venture to say that the grounds con
stantly Improve in beauty, and we hope will
continue to challenge the admiration of all

AT THE THEATERS.
Ia spite ot the Inclemency of the weather
last evening, "A Female Drummer" at
tracted a large Monday audience at the
Graii d.
Mr. David Higgins, supported by Miss Geor
gia Waldron and an adequate company, wjil
appear as the attraction at the Grand next
week in the play "At Pioey Ridge." It ls
full of finely worked scenes. There are ropr*
subtle and finely wrought dramas, but not
one fuller of fine contrast and pleasing
scenes.
The Woodward Stock company, now playing
at the Metropolitan opera house, is meeting
with remarkable success ln the experiment of
popular price drama in connection with high
class vaudeville. The house has been crowded
at every performance. The play for the pres
ent week ls Mawson's "A Fair Rebel. a
stirring drama of the Civil war; the vaude
ville features. In addition to the regular per
formance, consist of "Solaret," the fire
dancer; Watson and Hutching*, assisted by
Ed Edwards, ln a funny sketch; and th*
Carpos brothers, acrobats. In marvelous feats
of skill and strength. The show as a whole
gives a great deal of entertainment for the
small price of admission.
Next week the Woodward Stock company
will present "Maths," with special vaudeville
features, including the Valdis sisters, Hor-
Wltz and Bowers and Irene Franklin.
