THE ST. PAUL GLOBE, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 16, 1899.
MM IT A HOT ONE
MOTTO THAT THE ST. PAUL CAR
NIVAL ASSOCIATION WILL
FOLLOW
DIRECTORS NAME PRESIDENT
■Indue C. E. Klandran Sclccto.. for
the Position— \ Button to Be Se
lected for I'ae Instead of a Rlh
lion Badgre—l ndecidcd Yet ns to
What the Ceutral Feature Will Be
—Possibly nil lee Palace.
The directors of the St. Paul C&ratval
association are determined to rrake the
staid burghers of the city appeal In to
b(T&*gan suits this winter. Plans for tne
coming festivities were discussed at
kngth, and the matt-r of creating a
proper public sentiment received close at
tention. The directors are of the opinion
that if the business men and other citi
zens interested make It a point to wear
the blanket suits on the street the. ex
ample will be sufficient. It i 3 hoped that
the association may be able to establish
the same sporty feeling which controlled
the winter festivals of the 80s.
The central feature of the coming car
rival' was the source of considerable dis
cussion yesterday. The question of build
ing an ice palace was brought up again
and received the support of a number of
the members of the board. It was decid
ed, however, that for the present the di
rectors will simply announce a carnival
of sports, and leave the decision on the
central feature idea until another time.
It is probable that either an ice palace
or some similar structure will be erected.
Chairman Scholle announced the follow
ing as members of the committee on
finance: Rukard Hurd. A. ■H. Schliek,
William Canby and George Benz Jr.
The committee on location reported that
they would secure headquarters at once.
Another meeting will be held at noon
today, at which a decision will be made.
It is probable that the Endtcott will ba
chosen. Gustav Scholle, C. B. Gedney
and C. B. Bowlby constitute the commit
tee.
The election o f a president was the
most important iterr. before the directors,
and by unanimous choice Judge Flandrau
was selected to direct the affairs of the
association. Charle3 Hornlck was made
chairman of the committee on printing,
and C. E. Gedney chairman of the com
mittee on badges. Mr. Gedney reported
on the badge proposition and several de
signs were submitted. It was thought
best to select a button design instead of
the familiar type of badge, since it pos
rif sses the advantage of being practically
indestructible. The key line, "Make It
a Hot One," will be used.
The directors decided to make a general
request that every one get out a tobog
gan suit and wear it for the purpose of
cieating sentiment In favor of the car
nival.
CHERRY AXH WHITE.
Colors 'Chosen by the Athletic and
Rowing Carnival Club.
A meeting was held at the St. Paul
Athletic and Rowing club last night far
the purpose of forming a carnival club.
There were forty in attendance. Steps
were taken towards a permanent organi
zation, though it was considered advis
able to appoint a committee to bring the
subject to the attention of the absent ']
members before electing- officers. Presi
dent Corning advocated the organization
cf a club at the earliest possible moment, !
in order to give the association every
chance, to capture the banner offered by
Ike Lederer to the club which is first in
appearing on r.he streets in full uniform.
Lists were opened for the signatures "f
these who wish to enter the new organi
zation.
The matter of a uniform was discussed
at length with the result that the club de
cided Lo adopt the standard suit. In colors
of cherry and white. A committee was
appointed to secure designs for a car
nival club emblem, with instructions to
report at a meeting to be held on Tues
day evening. President Corning will
name a committee today to act in se
curing members for the carnival club
and It is expected that in the course of
the next two weeks there will be a mem
bership of 150. An adjournment was
taken last night until Tuesday evening.
at which time officers will be elected and
the club formally launched.
The new club will have a drum corps.
The membership committee of the Ath
letic and Rowing club held a session last
night, at which thirty-three applications
were received. It was decided to increase
the committee and the names cf Tony
Snyder, E. S. MacGowan, T. L. Bird, J.
A. Swanson, E. F. Miller, C. H. L,indeke,
F. T. Wittmer and G. A. Lindeke were
added. Those who became members of

The customers of Griggs, Cooper &

weeks ago, says the current issue of the
St. Paul Trade Journal. It took an
enormou3 amount of pluck and energy
to continue business without interrup

The entire merchandise salvage was
sold to a Chicago wrecking company
and has been shipped out of the city.
It happened that the house was car
rying a stock very much above the
normal amount. The prospective ad
vance in coffee had led them to pur
chase three or four times the usual quan
tity they carry. In order to take ad
vantage of lake rates of freight, be
fore the all-rail rates went into effect,
they had laid in, in! all lines, a stock
to carry them through the winter and
made even thls: stb^k especially heavy
owing to the continued advance In
prices. Piobably at no previous time
in the history of the house would a
fire have found-.so-much to destroy.
The insurance- adjusters met the
situation in a fafr and manly way, and
•without controversy the loss on the
merchandise was phued at $97,640.42, and
on the macnineiry ajt, $25,186. A consid

MABEL WEDS AGAIN.
Mrs. Anfans', Recently Divorced, to
Become Mrs. Alfred Fischer.
A marriage license was issued yester
day to Alfred C. E. Fischer and Mrs.
Mabel Anfang. as the sequel to the
divorce with a Hudson background that
was granted to Mrs. Anfang by Judpre
Kelly last Monday. The groom to be is
a city salesman, living at 315 Walnut
street. Before she became Mrs. Anfang
the bride was Miss Mabel Ward.
At the divorce trial it appeared that
when Miss Ward was eighteen years old,
and Adolph Anfang a year older, they
went together to Hudson, where they
were united in matrimony. This was
Feb. 22, 1893. The newly married couple
returned to St. Paul immediately, and
went to their respective homes.
The secret leaked out, the old folks in
terfered and consequently the Anfangs
never lived together. Desertion was the
cause alleged for the divorce.

the sentence of W. H. Adams, of Minne

to two years, which jnakes him eligible
to parole. The commutation was granted
upon the recommendation of Judge Har
rison, of Minneapolis, the trial judge,
who, in a communication to the board of
pardons, states that the sentence was ex
cessive. At the time he believed Adams
to be mixed up in misdoings other than
the theft of a bicycle, for which he was
convicted, and, therefore, imposed a
heavy sentence. Subsequent investigation
disclosed the fact that this was not the
case.

AS TO ROENTGEN RAYS
SUPREME COURT DECLINES TO
TAKE JUDICIAL NOTICE OF
THEIR VALUE
JUSTICE MITCHELL OPINES
It In Not So Fully KslulilUlißil, an
to Warrant Judicial Inference,
That the Human System In .\ot
Injured by Submission to the "X-
Ray" Process of Diagnosis — De
vlslon.t In Other Cage.*.
Justice Mitchell, of the supreme court,
in a decision yesterday, declines to com
mit so high a tribunal as the supreme
court to the general proposition that
plaintiffs in damage suits must submit
themselves to "X-ray" radiography, to
ascertain whether their cervical vertebrae
have been tied In bow knots, or whether
a floating rib may have been tied down
with some sort of a sinker. Justice
Mitchell is willing to concede that the
rays discovered by Dr. Roentgen have
made some startling disclosures, but he is
not prepared, in his last few days on the
ber.ch, to lay it down that the courts
shall take judicial notice of the expert
nest; and erudition of an operator in a
scientific process, now young, but In
which, in a few years, aniat C tirs may be
as numerous as they are nowadays with
hand sun cameras.
The syllabus of the decision which ap
plies Is as follows:
Julius Wittenberg, respondent, vs. L. K.
Onsgard, appellant.
Syllabus—A medical expert, having in
Ms eviuence in eniei diagnosed the injury
to the plaintiff as a dislocation of the
cervical vertebrae complicated with, a
lracture, and Having men testified, with
out qualification or limitation, that tha
accepted treatment of a dislocation of
cervical vertebrae, as laid down by the
medical authorities, was a reduction of
the dislocation, was asked on cross-exam
ination whether a certain work (admit
ted by him to be a standard authority)
dm not lay down that where the dislo
cation was complicated with a fracture,
no physician would be justified in at
tempting to reduce the dislocation. Held
that this was proper cross-examination,
and that it was error to exclude the
question.
All hypothetical questions put to an ex
pert witness must be based upon facts
admitted or established or which if con
structed might be legitimately found by
the jury from the evidence. They should
also embody all the facts relating to the
subject upon which the opinion or the wit
ness is asked. ' A certain hypothetical
question held to have been improperly al
lowed because not including all tne facts
bearing upon the subject upon which the
opinion or the witness was asked and also
because it was based in part upon a fact
not admitted or established and which
there was no evidence tending to prove.
The court may disregard a waiver of
a jury triai by the parties, and require
the issues to be submitted to a jury. The
matter is addressed to his sound discre
tion. The waiver of a jury in this case
construed as applying only to the term of
court at which it was made.
Held also that an application of the de
fendant to the court to require the plaint
iff to submit his neck to be photographed
by the use of the Roentgen or X-rays in
order to ascertain the nature of his in
juries, was properly refused because the
application was not seasonably made and
also because it did not sufficiently appear
that the person by whom it was proposed
that the photograph was to be taken had
the requisite skill and experience to
properly apply the rays.
Whether science is yet sufficiently ad
vanced to justify the courts in taking
judicial notice, as an established fact, that
exposure to X-rays is not injurious to
the subject. Quere? Order reversed.

Maj. J. M. Bowler, state dairy com
missioner, returned yesterday from Le
Sueur. where he attended the state dairy

a noticeable absence of the home dairy
product.
The papers read were of value to tho
dairy interests, and created spirited dis
cussion and interest. .Maj. Bowler states

the trial by the' court of challenges to
jurors for actual bias.
2. The Indictment construed as one for
manslaughter in the first degree and not
for murder in the second degree. The
words '•willfully killed are not the equiv
alent of "with a design to effect death."
3. The admission in evidence of the re
sults of experiments tending to corrobo
rate the testimony of witnesses for the
state that they saw and heard certain
things from a particular position, held
not prejudicial error for the reasons,
first, that the experiments tended to
prove nothing that was not self-evident
from photographs and measurements al
ready in evidence; and, second, that an
attempt had been made to impeach the
witnesses by eliciting on thir cross-exam
ination facts tending to show that they
could not have seen and heard what they
testified to from the position which they
occupied.
4. The state is not required to call and
examine as its witnesses all persons
whose names are indorsed on the indict
ment. The most that was ever required
in any event was that they be present in
court so that the defendant may call and
examine them if he desires.
5. The general doctrine of the courts
now is that the reason having- ceased, the
old rule has ceased that on trials for per
jury the prosecutor is bound to call and
examine all the eye witnesses of the
res gestae or transaction.
But, without deciding this question,
held, that in this case the court was jus
tified in refusing to require the state to
call certain parties as witnesses because
It did not appear that they were eye
witnesses of the transaction, which was
the subject of investigation.
6. The evidence held sufficient to jus
tify the verdict. Order affirmed.
