Within a Month or So, but a Much
Larger Amount Will Soon Be
Needed — Sub*criptlo>ns to Be
Sought for Aulitlng In the Work
of Reconstruction.

sen president of the library board at a
meeting of the directors held last even
ing. The newly elected president thanked
the members for the honor and announced

of Treasurer Monfort raised by the Feld
houser endless chain and from the series
of library concerts was ordered turned
over to Treasurer Auerbach.
As the library board assumed charge
of the market house Feb. 12, and has
since been charged up with all the bills
and expenses of the building, it was de
cided to have the city transfer to the
board fund its propportion of tho Febru
ary rents, which up to date have been re

WHITTIER TO SUCCEED HIM
Predicted Tiint* the State Prison
Agent Will -Be Promoted It a
GliniiKC lM">na«e In the Manage
ment at C4ou«l— He Is Said to
Bear the* 'Favor of ' Warden
Wolfer. : *-iiii
The board of managers of the state
reformatory will hold an interesting and
important sesslon-'at the Merchants ho
tel this evening. ■ The meeting will be
an adjourned one,:the better part of last
Wednesday and Thursday having been
put in by the board at St. Cloud at a
regular meeting and then an adjourn
ment taken.
The trouble is aIV about the proposed
change in the superintendent of the re
formatory. At the St. Cloud meeting
certain charges were made against Supt.
W. H. Houlton and these will be again
considered at the session this evening.
It is charged that until last February the
superintendent and members of his fam
ily were the owners of 200 of the 240 acres
of land which the legislature authorized
the reformatory board to purchase for
the institution. The land was trans
ferred to a third party several months
ago, but the board has declined to pur
chase the tract until after an investiga
tion.
It Is also charged that some time ago
$2,000 of the funds of the institution were
transferred from a St. Cloud bank to a
Minneapolis institution and then to a
bank at Elk River, of which the super
lnendent is one of the officers. This
transfer, it is claimed, was not properly
entered on the books of the institution.
Another charge is that the superin
tendent sold lumber and other materials
to the institution, the vouchers being
made out to his foreman. Another
charg-e is that the superintendent trav
eled on a railroad pass and then charged
up mileage for.the .trips.
One of the members of the board in
speaking of the matter yesterday said
that all of the charges made against Mr.
Houlton were explainable, and it was
very probable that nothing could be said
which would reflect on his honesty in any
way.
Other charges regarding the treatment
of the prisoners at the reformatory,
however, are to be made and if reports
are as stated there is but little doubt
but that a change will be made on this
ground alone.
It is claimed that 1 Supt. Houlton's ex
perience In the line of caring for pris
oners at an institution of this kind has
been limited to having had charge of a
Sunday school for twenty years and that
this practical knowledge of the work has
made him anything but an ideal of
ficial.
An instance is given where on the sus
picion that one of the prisoners had writ
ten a note which was found in one of the
corridors the superintendent had the man
confined in a dungeon for four days en
deavoring to force a confession that he
was the author of the note. The pris
oner on whom suspicion fell refused to
confess and was only removed from the
dungeon when the physician of the in
stitution reported that further solitary
confinement would result in the death of
the convict.
In case the board of managers should
conclude to dispense with the services of
Supt. Houlton, it Is predicted that F. A.
Whittier, at present in the employ of the
state as agent for and general supervisor
of discharged convicts from the peniten
tiary, will be nam'ed'for the place.
Mr. Whittier has held the position of
state agent for about three years, and has
the cordial backing of Warden Wolfer for
the superintendency of the reformatory.
At the meeting of the reformatory board
held at St. Cloud it la understood that
Whittier was the choice of three of the
six members of the board for the posi
tion of superintendent.
A gentleman familiar with the manage
ment of the reformatory, In discussing
the possibility of. the selection of State
Ag^jit Whitt'er as superintendent of the
institution last evening, said:
"If there is to be any change made In
the head of the reformatory the board
should certainly profit by the experience
of the past few years, and not put in
another man who has had no practical ex
perience in this line.
"The superintendent of the reformatory
is, as a matter of fact, the whole thing,
so far as the institution is concerned.
There Is a board of managers, but the
members simply ratify the acts of the
superintendent and agree to suggestions
or recommendation which he makes. Out-
side of this and the approving of pur
chases already made by the superintend
ent the board does nothing.
"The superintendent, for this reason,
should possess qualifications which would
fit him for the position, and, while Mr.
Whittler may possibly have been able to
draw his salary as state agent and satis
fy the warden of the state prison and the
superintendent of the reformatory as to
his duties, he, in my opinion, would be
far from the right man in the right place
as superintendent of the St. Cloud re
formatory.
"It has been stated on pretty good au
thority that the only-reason for giving the
position of superintendent of the reforma
tory to Mr. Whlttier is that his p\ace as
state agent Is desired by a well known
St. Paul politician, who has friends at
court, as they say. Whether this Is cor
rect or not is hard to say, but if Whlttier
Is selected the board will find it has made
a step backward instead of forward. If
they want to change Whittier's position
let them give him a chance to get a place
for himself, or let Wolfer find one for him
In some other institution."

the design is, of course, worked out in
the royal colors of the visiting delegates,

WHOLESALE OPERATIONS OF «T.
BASSH'ORII" AMONG ST. PAUL
BUSINESS MEN
HAD AN ADVERTISING BOOK
It Was a Handbook of Il ( isiiio* Law
"; With ; Valuable Information
About •'Revenue ' Stamps, ana If
Seems to Have Provided Bass
ford With Both Revenue and
"Stamps." '
To the glorious list of young Napoleons
of finance must now be added the name
of T. .Bassford. Mr. Bassford has re
cently been operating in St. Paul. It
Is the consensus of opinion among
some nineteen prominent business
men In this city- that Mr. Bassford is
a "pretty smooth guy." Whenever ha
has given a receipt for money, in sums
ranging from $10 to $20, Mr. Bassford
has added the word "publisher" to his
signature. It is with some misgivings
that certain gentlemen in business cir
cles are expecting a work from the pub
lishing house of Mr. Bassford entitled
"How I Did Up the Town."
A few days since Mr. Bassford, accom
panied by another young man, blew in o
the city and begun operations by which
they must have cleaned up $250 clear of
expenses. The story of one victim 13
the story of eighteen others. Thomas J.
McDermott, attorney, is located at 714
and 715 New York Life building. He was
waited upon by Mr. BassforS, who ex
hibited a neat, morocco-bound book,
small, yet compact, and full of condense 1
laws relating to legal and banking busi
ness, and what was still mora useful,
a condensation of the new revenue stamp
law. Aside from this there were four
teen blank pages for advertising pur
poses. Would Mr. McDermott likj to
join with a number of others, prominent
in business circles, In filling- this adver
tising space? A certain nailonal bank
was to be supplied with 4,000 copies for
free distribution. Each subscriber to a
page at $20 would receive fifty copies
and twenty-five copies went with half a
page. Could Mr. McDermott select his
own page? Certainly. Accordingly Mr.
McDermott took half a page opposite the
last page cf the revenue stamp law.
Then Mr. Bassford went away.
On Thursday last, while Mr. McDer
mott was busily engaged with quite a
number of people In his office, Mr. Bass
ford suddenly appeared with a copy of
the book containing the "ad" ordered
by Mr. McDermott in its proper place.
But instead of being bound in morocco
it carried a cheap, green paper cover.
"Here's a copy of the book," hurriedly
explained Mr. Bassford, "the other
twenty-four copies will be sent you from
the Dispatch job printing office. But
say, Just one minute, please. Couldn't
you let me have that money nowT I've
got bills to pay and hotel matters to
settle up."
Mr. McDermott was in the midst of
Important business. With the one copy
as a guarantee of good faith, and anxious
to complete his business with his clients,
Mr. McDermott passed him a $10 note
and Mr. Bassford was away like a
winged Mercury.
On the following day Mr. McDermott
dropped down to the sixth floor of the
big building and Into the office of V. C.
Gilman. Mr. Gilman had, also, gone Into
the scheme $10 worth. He, too, had been
presented with a copy of the work and
was in the midst of a $5,000 deal when
the übiquitous Mr. Bassford approached
him hastily and stated the urgency of
his claim for $10. The other twenty-four
copies would come over to him from the
Dispatch office. Then the .two copies
were compared, Mr. McDermott's and
Mr. Gillman's.
"Did you order the first half page fol
lowing the revenue law?" inquired Mr,
McDermott.
"Certainly. Best page In the book. Why
shouldn't I. Here 'tis, Johnny on the spot
In my book."
"And I'm all right, all ri.<ht, on the
same page in mv book," replied Mr. Mc-
Dermott. A great white light burst upon
the two gentlemen with calcium effects.
The office of Fred H. Sabin Is In the
same building. He was seen yesterday
by a reporter for the Globe. He had
ordered a full page, $20 worth, opposite
the page of the Millers' and Manufactur
ers' Insurance company. And h<» got It.
But It appears that Mr. Sabln Is about
the only one who secured position paid
for, and he, too, is shy just 49 copies of
this Invaluable work. Robert L. AVare &
Co., Germanla building, ordered the first
page, $20 worth, opposite the cover Inside
containing the ad. of the St. Paul Na
tional bank. They got the required po
sition—ln their one copy. In Mr. McDer
mott's copy John S. Crooks & Co. and
Dean Bros. & Co. display their ads. on
the same page, and probably In quite a
number of other books. Robert L. Ware
& Co. are also shy their forty-nine copies.
J. E. Cochran & Co., bankers and bro
kers, ordered a full page opposite the
"preface." Their one book is all right.
In a number of others the Dodge Land
& Investment company has pre-empted
this particularly favorable location. There
are still forty-nine copies duo Mr. Coch
ran. Luther S. Cushing ordered the last
page, opposite the cover. So, also, did
C. H. F. Smith & Co., as both appear
there In different books. Forty-nine copies
of the work are still "coming" to each
of these gentlemen from "the Dispatch
office." And one of the banks la ready
to receipt for 3,999 ccples for "free distri
bution."
It was learned that the American Bond-
Ing company and Barton & Godfrey, so
soon as they learned the facts of the
swindle, telephoned to stop payment on
checks they had given Bassford. Others
did the same. But Bassford appears to
have hustled them into the hands of third
parties, and, doubtless, the checks will
have to be paid. Before investigating In
the matter Mr. McDermoit telephoned
the St. Paul National bank, asking If
there was any truth In Bassford's state
ment that the bank was to distribute
4,000 copies of the work. The bank people
replied that such was the arrangement
made.with Bassford.
Other victims of this unique advertis
ing swindle are William G. White, John
B. Kalsburn, Charles A. Forbes and "W.
H. Craig. Bassford and his partner are
said to have left for Dcs Moines on Fri
day evening of last week.

CAUCUS OS SCHOOLS
INSPECTORS HELD A Q.UIET MEET
ING YESTERDAY AFTERNOON
TO DISCUSS SECRETS
IT WAS EXCEEDINGLY "MUM"
Bat the Necessities for Building
New Schools Were Considered,
as Were Also the Possible Addl-
tlons to Be Mad* to the Teaching'
Staffs .foE, Next Year—Nearly
cry Ward Needs More Sitting".' ;
The committee on schools of the board
of school Inspectors held a star chamber
session yesterday afternoon and. cau
cussed upon a number of school matters,
canvassing the -iituation pretty thorough
ly but without taking definite action upon,
any of the questions considered.
The board is commencing to figure upon
next year's teaching staff, and it is ru
mored that some important changes are
tc be made" In the way of additions to
the school course, which will make room
for a few more teachers In the schools.
While the board will not announce its ap
pointments for next year until some time
in the future, the committee on schools
la mapping out a policy, and it has been
said that there is to be a weeding out
and that a few important changes will be
made in the personnel of the present
teaching staff. .
The committee figures that two new an-
nexes and two new buildings can be built
In addition to matting the necessary re
pairs on the buildings, with the money
which will be derived from the addition
al tax levy authrolzed by the last legis
lature. There is a demand lor more room
in nearly every .section of the city, but
it Is the belief of the committeee, howev
er, that the conditions can be relieved
by building four new buildings, if they
are located in the localities where they
will bo of the greatest good. It was upon
this question that the committee spent
some time yesterday. All were agreed
that the Eighth ward should have a now
building, and the First, Seventh, Fifth,
Fourth, and, in fact, nearly every ward
has asked for additional school sittings.
The budget will be prepared by Presi
dent Zimmerman and a committee to be
appointed at the next meeting, and pre
sented to the comptroller before July 1.
The board has practically decided upon
a number of Items to be included In the
budget. For teachers" salaries the board
will ask about $335,000. This amount is
merely an estimate on the part of the
board, as it has not been definitely de
cided whether manual training will be
resumed In the grades, and a number of
other additions which have been recom
mended by Supt. Smith before the total
teachers' salary account for next year
can be reached.
According to the figures of President
Zimmerman It will cost about $90,000 to
make the proper repairs and build the
two annexes and two buildings. The re
pairs upon forty-five buildings will en
tail an expenditure of $50,000. The two
nnexes will cost about $15,000 and two
separate schools $25,000 or $30,0u0, making
a total of $90,000 or $95,000 which will be
asked for in the budget.
There Is a disposition on the part of a
majority of the board to restore manual
training to the grades, tn line with the
suggestions made by the superintendent
upon Industrial and commercial training
at a recent meeting.
As for the teachers' schedule for the
next year the board is still iigurlng and
wondering. Every gentleman on the
board believes the teachers are paid too
little, but just how they are going to do
all the nice things they want to next
year is occupying the wits of the seven
men who compose the board. There is a
promise that a slight increase may be
made in the schedule and that the grade
teachers will all be paid a uniform max
imum salary.
WAITING FOR THE CONTRACT.
Assembly Meeting Postponed on
Account of Street Car Affairs.
The adjourned meeting of the assembly
scheduled for last evening was called off
yesterday afternoon. The principal busi
ness to be considered was the passage of
the ordinance granting the street railway
company the use of Cedar street, be
tween Seventh and Eighth street*.
When the ordinance pa-.Tect the board of
aldermen there was some question as to
the manner in which the street railway
company should pay its share of the as
phalt pavement, the contract for which
had been let to the Warren-Scharff com
pany, before the ordinance was presented.
Attorney M. D. Munn, representing the
street railway company, agreed tiiat ar-
rangements would be made between the
paving contractors and the company,
which would be satisfactory, and the
company would stand one-fifth of the
expense of paving the street for the one
block.
The contract between the city and the
paving company was modified by the
corporation attorney and forwarded to
the head officers of the .corporation at
New York. It had noc been returned up
to yesterday afternoon, and for this rea
son the assembly meeting was postponed.
The meeting of the committee on
streets, which was to be held in the aft
ernoon to consider the ordinance, also
went by the board.
