CHARTER ■ -
SIAP AT THE CITY EAILWAY
Resolution Requiring More Rapid
Service on Grand Avenue la
. Ador>ted— A« to lliium- ■
Ins: Prisoners. ' 1
Comptroller McCardy, whose strict' ob
servance of the city charter in as far
as it refers to his particular department,
has called down upon himself the mal s
dictions of more than one for attempted
disregard of red tape, stands In the pe
culiar light of failing to practice the doc
trine he so strongly advocates.
At the meeting of the board of alcer
mon last night City Treasurer Bremer,
in a letter, made open protest against
the practice °£ the comptroller in dis
regarding the provisions of the charter
wherein it provides th:-».-j£ifire shull be a
mutual exchange of sTS^eiuenta of trial
balances at the close "of the day's busi
ness, the same being necessary to facili
tate the conduct of the business of the
two offices on the following day. Mr.
Bremer in his letter stated that he had
compiled with this section, but that Air.
McCardy had persistently ignored it. Ac
companying it was a letter served on
Mr. McCardy demanding compliance, :
and also an opinion from the corporation ;
attorney in which he sustained the stand
taken by the city treasurer and also h's
right to refuse payments from city funds
if the statements were not forthcoming.
Mr. McCardy was evidently aware of
the appeal to be made to the board and
was present with a statement of his side
of the case, but it was not read, no ac
tion being taken beyond to tefer the mat
ter to the committee on streets.
Mr. McCardy in his statement does not
deny the infraction of the charter re
quirements, bin says it is impossible ow
ing to the lack of help in his office. Two
expert accountants, he says, will be nec
essary to compile the statement and iur
nlsh it dally. The situation in his of
fice, he remarks, can be compared to the
city buying a lot of engines and then
failing to employ the necessary number
of men to run them.
The usual yearly list of appointments
in the engineering and health depart
ments with provision for their salaries
came up lor consideration, but owing to
an error in several of those of the healt/i
department wherein provision was made
for the payment of their salaries from
the general fund, they " had to be
held up until a correction was made. Un
der the new charter there is no such
fund.
Contemplated improvements in th;
street car service, 'which --have been dor
mant for some weeks, brought surprise
in the passage of a resolution introduced
by Alderman Holt calling for a live and
eight-minute service on the Grand Ave
nue line,' the new order of > things to so
into effect on Jan. 10.
In support of ' the ~ measure Alderman
Holt said he and a number of pations
of the Hue had made a personal visit
to the officials of the company and had
been informed that nothing could be
done. It was time, he said, that the
company was brought to a realization of
what the people desired.
Alderman Dobner made an effort to
send the matter to the committee on ;
streets, but failed, the vote being six to |
four. ■ i
Alderman Bantz followed with a rather
sweeping resolution: . demanding of the
street car company strict compliance
with all ordinances passed for their ben- ;
efit and the abrogation of all ordinances j
of which they had failed to avail them
selves. Tho city attorney was Instruct
ed to give the matter his ; attention and
I see that there: was a strict' compliance.
Aldermen Dobner and Knauft were
fearful that the strict interpretation of
the- ordinance would call for changes on
the lines in their particular districts and
at once entered a protest with the de
sire that it be sent to the committee in
streets for investigation. It was done j
co on a vote of sixteen to four, th o se
voting in the negative being- Aldermen
Holt. Bantz. Schiffmann and Hunt.
In explanation of the resolution Alder
man Bant/, said a number of changes
on the car lines had been made with
out authority" or even mentioning the
fact .to the council. The passage of the
resolution would rectify this and where
any improvement had been made it could
also be rethiiri(!d by resolution.
'• On-application of City Engineer Claus
sen, an item of $20,000 was taken from
the miscellaneous receipts and placed 10
the credit of the street sewer and gar
bage fund. ■ Following k and into which
the Hem .was. incorporated was the pas
sage of the ordinance appropriating
moneys from the miscellaneous, receipts
to the several funds.
The contemplated housing- of prisoners
in the fourth floor of the city t hall dur
ing the building of the new jail brought
a protest.from Alderman Schiffmann and
the unanimous approval of a resolution
calling upon the aldtrmanic members of
the joint* city hall and court house com
mission to -use every means in their
power to defeat such plans, lncorporatid
was a plea to the work house commis
sion to try and house the prisoners. .
There was no debate but the vote taken
was sufficient to show how the aldermen
felt in the matter.
On promise to relinquish his pet scheme
of payment of street Intersection from
the general fund. Alderman Knauft se
cured recognition of the preliminary or
der for the macadamizing of E?st
Seventh .street and on his motion the
order was' continued. ■ :
I An improvement contemplating an ex
penditure of $30,000 and calling for com
mencement ot" the work in sixty days
after permission is .granted, was an ordi
nance introduced by Alderman Moriarty
granting to the Omaha railroad permis
sion to build a single track with all nec
essary switches from a point wheie
their line crosses the river to a point a
block below Wabasha street. The track
will follow the line of the river and will
occupy ttß> streets abutting that bed/
of water, passing under Wabasha street
to the point designated The line Is to t»>
built for the purpose of furnishing
switching facilities, to the factories and
warehouses on " the West Side and ad
jacent to the right of way to he granted.
The ordinance was referred to the com
mittee on streets.

FIRST OF WINTEK RECITALS.
Schubert Club SeaHou Is Au«i»lcion»
ly Opened.
The Schubert club's midwinter season
of afternoon recitals was most auspici
ously opened yesterday afternoon w.th an
operatic programme presented by Miss
Katharine Richards and Mr. George Ham
lm, of Chicago. The auditorium of Moz
art hall was well filled, the audience
testifying by cordial applause its appre
ciation of the excellent programme. Mr.
Hamlln. although' not a resident of St
Paul, has on his frequent visits he c
won many friends. '■" His voice was never
heard to j better., advantage as at yester
day afternoon's recital. Because of his
art Mr. Hamlin sings all things well, l<ut
there are some things that he sings very
much better : than -others. Therefore
while the love song from "Die Walkure"
was a pleasing number, as was also that
other Wagner selection, "Preisiied" from
"Die Meistersinger," other solos better"
suited to his voice aroused" more en
thusiasm. Two of Dvorak's numbers,
"A Gypsy Song" and ' "A Love Song
were spiritedly t sung.. ; The -'.rollicking
drinking song from "Cavalleria Rusti
cana". was rendered with ■'■■ a -dash and
abandon that was infectious. Perhaps
it was in 'Xaunoelot's song from Bern
berg's. "Elaine,;' that the almost woman-
THE ST. PAUL, Gf.OBE, THURSDAY, JANUARY 3, 1901.
ly sweetness of tone and the spiritual
quality of the singer's voice was most
marked. Miss Gordon and Mr. Hamlin
sang two duets,"L'Amico Fritz," Mascag
ni and the balcony scene from Gounod's
"Romeo and Juliet." The two voices
blend admirably. Miss Gordon has more
dramatic expression, although, perhaps,
Mr. Hamlin'a art is broader. The "Ro
meo and Juliet" duet was, from an artis
tic standpoint, the most satisfying num
ber on the programme. Although Miss
Gordon was suffering from a severe cold
yesterday her voice triumphed over this
physical disability and she was able to
carry out the part of the programme with
the exception of two solos and for those
Mr. Hamlin substituted. Many compli
mentary adjectives have been used to
describe Mi3s Gordons voice. It is a
beautiful suprano that training has pol
ished and that the quick insight and
made "living." Miss Gordon sang thd
tragic story of Schoen Gretlein fiom
"Eine Tragoedie," yon Fielitz. with feel
ing and finish, the singer proving herself
entirely equal to the dramatic finale.
Mr. Oberhoffer added to the success
of the programme by his musicianly
work as accompanist.
FEW TOOK OUT LICENSES
DECREASE IN CITY'S REVENUE
FROM THIS SOURCE. ; :
Failure- to enforce the ordinances re
quiring the licensing of hacks, peddlers, 4
stands and other lines of business amena-*
ble to the law is responsible for a
heavy decrease, in the license fees re
ceived by City Clerk Jensen during the
past year.
■In 1899 over $311000 was received "while
the amount this year is only .slightly in.
excess af $308,000. The discrepancy is
easily found when it is shown that dur
ing the year only four hacks out of the
several hundred in the city were accom
modated with. the necessary license to
allow them to do business, while in other
lines the decrease is equally apparent.
Of hotel runners only five secured
badges, six stands, twenty-nine psddl»rs
and twelve vehicle peddlers paid the fees
required while only two auctioneers
tered. Of drays, express wagons and
trucks no one is mentioned in the list
as compiled by the city clerk. £'
Tags and badges to be used in connec
tion with all lines of licenses issued by
the city are on sale at the office of rhe
city clerk, but few of them have been
called for, in fact a string of such badges
intended for hacks and their drivers
were never distributed. All of thosa
in use are of an old date and never have
been removed. . - :V.
A list of all persona and property
amenable to the license laws is now be
ing compiled and preparations wiil be
commenced as soon as the list is com
pleted to enforce the ordinances to the
letter. Heretofore when approaching:
election time the license ordinances have
not been enforced, but the discrepancy
in the receipts are too large to allow a
continuance. _
ASIIOIY IS IN A TANGLE
RBSOLITIOS FOR APPROPRIATION
IS MET WITH OPPOSITION.
One of the most important matters to
come up at the meeting of the assembly
this evening will be the resolution bind
ing thy city to pay $4,000 a year for fifteen
years consequent upon the erection of a
new armory building.
The proposition has a number of sup
porters in the assembly, but opposition
is develoying, and it is possible that t'ne
resolution may be rejected unless amend
ed to suit the few who think the city is
not getting all that it should.
Opposition mainly hinges on the fact
tliat $t>o t ooo will be expended in the fifteen
years proposed and at the end the city
wiil have nothing to show for the amount
beyond the housing of the national RU-ard.
The erection of an armory under such an
Inviting proposition, they say, is an op
portunity that most any one would grasp
and. in view of that fact think some con
ce&slon should be mado. The committe<»
who are pushing the matter say the
resolution will pass despite the opposi
tion.
While the matter received approval at
the meeting- of the assembly committee
on streets Monday, it is said their action
was without authority, as the resolution
was really killed at the last meeting of
the assembly. When it came up for con
sideration in the assembly, it was sent
to the committee on streets, but one of
the supporters, fearful of Its defeat,
moved a reconsideration of the vote an-l
put up the resolutien for Immediate pas
sage. The motion to pass without com
mittee approval was lost and without
further notice of the matter adjournment
was taken. So as to avoid any mistakes
it is possible that the minutes will be
amended at the meeting this evening.
WILL TAKE AN APPEAL.
Butter Canes to Be Curried to the
Supreme Court.

NOT FOR THE WORKHOUSE
THE COUNTY PRISONERS MIST BE
MOLSEIJ ELSEWHERE.
; The board of county commissioners will
meet this afternoon to consider the pro
position of housing the prisoners while
the new jail: being . built. •
The special committee consisting of
Commissioners Lott, Hardick and G:ay,
accompanied by Sheriff-elect Justus, call
ed on the . workhouse commissioners at
their meeting at the Windsor hotel yes.
terday forenoon for the purpose of ascer
taining whether or not they would con
sent to keep the prisoners at the work
house. . After the committee had stated
its errand the workhouse commissioners
retired into execu^ye session. , After be
[ing: behind closed doors t for some time.
the 3 workhouse commissioners reported
that they could not grant the request as
they had no'legal authority to care for
prisoners under contract. W. P. Mur
ray, of the workhouse -board, explained
that the boar«Vs appropriation was also
growing- low, and tnat even if the coun
ty paid '.fbex&lly" for its prisoners, the
money would - have to be turned over
to the city and the workhouse hoard
would be out of pocket; ';
As the result of the above it is very
likely that the special committee of
county commissioners will recommend to
the commissioners today the plan of pro
viding for the prisoners in temporaiy
cells in the old library rooms on the top
floor of the court house. If this plan is
found too costly the judges of the district
court will ord^r the, prisoners sent either
to Stillwater i*r the Hennepin county jail.

Kxperlincnt That la Deemed
Necesuiry to Save
Him.
Two men have volunteered to furnish
the necessary skin, in case the graft
ing operation is performed on Nicholas
J. Sossong, at the city hospital. Sossong
was badly burned with nitric acid six
weeks ago and has shown a vitality that
has startled local physicians. He lost
eighteen square inches of epidermis, but
the hospital physicians were puzssled aa
lo where they should secure it. Two men
have now come forward, and offered to
become real heroes, as neither are ac
quainted with the man.
it waa stated at the hospital last even
ing that such an operation was doubt
ful of ever being performed, as but little
hope is entertained for the recovery oE
Sussong. The loss of akin has proved
■a great drain on his remarkable vital
ity^ and he is now constantly growing:
weaker, and it is believed that hi 3 days
are nearly numbered.

Have B-e«?n Swindled.
Two men, who operated under the
names of H. S. Stringneld and G. F. Kel

lis merchants out of sums aggregating
$7,000. 'Hie men have disappeared, but
the Price Printing company haa sworn
out warrants for the arrest oc the men,
who arc said to now be in Los Angeles.
The men, it is claimed, took advantage
of the habil of Minneapolis grocers In
using pas 3 books. Arrangements were
made with the printing company for
20,000, and advertisements were solicited
from merchants. Space was to coat from
S6C to $60, for which no collection was to
be made until all the books had been de
livered. The books were delivered by the
printers. Up to this time the two men
I had worked together, but at this stage
of the game Kel'.ar became suddenly iil,
and Strlngfield, with a hard luck story,
called on the people with whom he had
niade contracts, and, stating that they
j would be willing to settle for. half the
i race value, as it was nceesaary for Kel
j lar to make a change of climate.

That Thomas 11. Parsons is not to be

honest crusade or war on the gambling
fraternity: of Minneapolis is evidenced
from the fact that late on New Year's

of the police court, which purported to
locate certain gambling: devices, and on
the strength of • this he asked for a
search warrant. Clerk Allen la of the
opinion that the simple affidavit of one
man Is not. sufficient grounds for the is
suance of a search warrant, and the
document was stowed away In chc arch

before the grand jury and endeavored
to have a number of persons indicted
without success. •
