II IS I SHALLOW
WATER IN WHITE BEAR TO BE
MADE TWO FEET
DEEPER
SURVEY MOW UNDER WAY
iprovcment Association, Ha* Six
Thousand Dollars* Available for
the Work on Hand at
Pre*ei»4.
The White Bear Lake Improvement as
sociation held a meeting at the Commer
cial club and considered a number of
matters of local interest last night,
the question of raising the water at the
lake a couple of feet occupying most
of the time. County Surveyor ,3onn
Irvine, it was staged, la now surveying
in the region around the lake, partieulai-
ly around other lakes with a view to
seeing whether it w-ould necessitate much
work and entail much expense to raise
White Bear. He. is not yc-t ready to re
port, but it is understood he has spent
considerable time in the vicinity of Pine
Tree lake, and that prospects are en
couraging.
It developed during the informal conver
sation of the members of the association
that there is now $3,000 on hand which
can be spent for the work, end that a bill
which has passed the legislature will
provide $3,000 yearly for the same pur
pose. The sum of $G,OOO will therefore be
available for this purpose the present
yea r.
Representative W."R'. Rich thought It
would be a good thing 4o raise the lake
and he said it would at least serve to
drive out the weeds. It was also propos
ed to secure a dredging outfit for the
lake, but nothing was done in that re
spect.
The new officers.of the association, as
elected by the members last night, are:
President, W. B. Dean; vice president,
David Hanna; secretary, A. M. L.awton;
treasurer, Emil Geist; directors, U. A.
lioardman, Ross Clarke, H. T. Drake,
A. J. Wampler and J. M. Goldsmith.
A resolution was passed requesting the
county commissioners to complete grad
ing of the boulevard from White Bear
beach station to the east county line.
BUCKEYES TO CELEBRATE
OHIO ASSOCIATION BANQUET AR
RANGEMENTS UNDER WAY.
The State Ohio association .held a meet
ing last night at the Commercial club
and made the preliminary arrangements
for the annual jjanqt.et to be held on the
cvemr.g of the lust day of this month,
which will be the thirtieth anniversary
of tiic admission of Ohio to the Union.
All the numbers of the association are
Buckeyes, and no one can join unless he
is an Ohican.
The first business of the evaning was
the election of officers for the ensuing
year, which resulted as follows:
President, H. P. Hall; treasurer, W.
P. Davidson; vice president, E. P. Rob
erts. All that was done in the way of
preparations for the banquet was the
appointment of an executive committee,
and another committee on introduction
and reception. Those~'on the first com
mittee are: H. S. Fairchild, C. W. Eber
lin, John W. Owens and W. P. Davidson;
on the second, H. T. Drake, Ross Cla:ko.
O. W. Johnstone, C. C. Cooper and Will
iam Foulke.
There was an interesting discussion as
to whether the banquet should be a
"stagg affair" or whether ladies should
be invited. H. P. Hall said nothing could
be a success without ladies, and there
fore they should be admitted. This was
finally agreed to.
The question was raised as to whether
the Minneapolis Buckeyes should 4>e in
vited, with the understanding that the
cities alternate with their invitations,
and the matter was referred to the ex
ecutive committee.

GOV. VAN SANT HAS ISSUED AR

TION
THE DATE FIXED IS APRIL 26
In Hlm Announcement the Governor
IJrKes That Object ami Spirit
of the Day- Be Observed
Thoroughly.
Gov. Vant Sant issued his arbor and
bird day proclamation yesterday after
noon. It follows:
The legislature of the state of Minne
sota, with the object of subserving the
best interests of the people of our state,
has wisely authorized and directed the
designation each year of a day for the
plaiting of forest trees and the beautify
ing of private and public grounds; pur
sua-it theieto I, S. R. Van Sant, as gov
ernor of said state, do hereby fix and ap
point Friday, the 2«th day of April, A. D.
11*01, as arbor and bird day, and do most
earnesrtly request the universal observan c
thereof throughout our state. It is es
pecially desirable that suitable exercists
be had at all public and private schools,
colleges and other educational institu
tions, that the youth may be taught to
appreciate the beauty and utility of trees
and shrubs and the importance of pre
serving the harmless birds that make
Minnesota their home.
I therefore earnestly recommend that
all our people devote at least a portion of
said day to the planting of forest trc.s
aid shrubs, to the end that our homes
and public grounds may be made more
pleasant and attractive.
Let the object and spirit of the day
be mot through hearty co-operation in the
pleasant duties which the law invokes.
In testimony whereof I have hereunto
set my hand and caused the great seal
of the state to be hereto affixed, at tru
oapitol. in the city of St. Paul, this ytlt
day of April, A. D. 1901.

BRICK COMES TOO HIGH
BRADLEY STREET PROPERTY OWN
ERS WAST CHEAPER PAVEMENT.
The property owners on Bradley street,
from East Seventh street to North street
are up in arms as a result of the recent
final order passed by both bodies of the
council ordering the street paved with
brick. A large delegation of the property
owners were buttonholing the members
of the board of aldermen yesterday, pro
testing against the paving of the street
with brick, which would cost $7 per foot.
They were also armed with a petition
signed by property owners representing
1,560 feet out of a possdble 1,892 feet on the
street, asking that the final order be re
scinded, and that a new order for pavin?
it with macadam be passed.
The property owners claim that when
the preliminary order was sent to the
board of public works they were given
a hearing and that a majority of them
were opposed to paving the street at
all this year. In spite of this fact they
say, the board of public works ordered
the paving with brick at a cost of $7
per foot. They claim that the value af
the property and its income does not
warrant an expensive pavement. They
will, however, agree to the street being
macadamized, if the council insists upon
having It paved this year.
ANTON MIESEN STEPS IN
WILL, APPLY FOR CAPE LICENSE
HIMSELF.
When the committee on streets of the
assembly met late yesterday afternoon
to resume the consideration of the appli
cation of P. J. Miesen for a liquor li
cense, Anton Miesen, appearing for his
son, P. j. Miesen, informed the commit
tee that nis son had withdrawn his ap
plication for a liquor license, and that
he himself had made an application for
the same. The withdrawal was accented
by the committee. Mr. Miesen stated iv
answer to questions put to him by mem
bers of the committee that he intended to
manage the place himself, and would see
that it was closed promptly at midnignt
after this.
County Attorney Kane was called to the
stand, and stated that he could not di
vulge anything that transpired before the
grand jury, any further than what was
mentioned in the report of that body
Rev. David Morgan, Rev. Homer <*•
Ashcraft and Dr. Woolway, the prose
cuting witnesses against the granting of
tne license, were interested spectators
but said nothing.

COITTRACTORS ARE WILLING.
Will Xot Oppose Proposed Chaoge
of Jail Site.
In the matter of the jail site question
the contractors, it is understood, are
favorable to the proposed change but
have not yet furnished a statement of
the cost that will be exacted for the
trouble and expense to be incurred
c.} c .aqi d estion of a slt€ win Probably be
settled by the selection of the Stewart
property on Market street on which the
board at one time had an option. Sites
so tar offered are either too high in price
are too far away. The judges do not op
pose a change of site but they ask that
it be as near the court house as possi
ble, otherwise constant expense will be
incurred by reason of delay in the trans
fer of prisoners.
BOARD MAY LOSE HEALY.
Rumor Ha* M That He Has Re-
Hlcned.
A story was in circulation last night to
the effect that Secretary James P. Healy,
for the board, of school inspectors, has
handed in his lesignation to accept a
position with the Rand-McNally com
pany. Mr. Healey himself could not fee
seen In regard to the matter, but Presi
dent Zimmeimsnn, of the board said
that he knew nothing of it. A special
meeting of the board will be held in a
few days, and the resignation, if pre
sented, will probably be acted upon at
that time. Mr. Healy has been secretary
of the board for several years, and it
will lose a valuable assistant when ho
goes. He was recently re-electc-d at the
annual meeting of the board.
The matter of school sites will be fur
ther considered at the special mettinf
soon to be held.

SECRETARY GRACE RECEIVES VIS
ITORS IN NEW Y. M. C. A. REC
REATION It O.MS
FORMAL OPENING LAST NIGHT
New Quartern Ajre Finest of Any
thins: to Be Found Outside
of New York and *
Chicago.
The Y. M. C. A. rooms were thronged
to the very doors last night, the occasion
being the formal opening and dedication
of the new recreation department. The
event may be properly designated as a
realization of a long cherished hope,
ami it marks an epoch in the history
of an Institution unrivaled in the Worth
west.
The grand opening, as the occasion may
be termed, began with the shades of
evening. The new recreation rooms were,
thrown open at that time and visitors
were admitted and shown the new acqul.
sition by a committee consisting of mem
bers of the associaticn. Later the
guests were treated to an athletic exhibi
tion in the gymnasium, on the fourth
floor, the exercises, consisting of
body building- and educative and recre
ative gymnastics, being carried out under
the direction of Dr. Cook and Prof.
Ayres. An orchestra discoursed sweet
music, and during the intervals light
refreshments were served. Added to this
the visitors were allowed to taste of th 3
sweets in the new recreaticn department,
the three bowling alleys and the four
billiard tables being kept In operation
until the closing hour, 11 o'clock.
The recreation department, in point
of thoroughness of detail and fittings,
is possibly without a peer in any of the
cities outside of Chicago and New YorK.
The three bowling alleys are the finest
in St. Paul, being of regulation size and
length, and equipped with balls and re
turn chutes of the latest pattern. Their
popularity was attested last night by the
heavy demand upcn them and the forma
tion of several clubs which will vie with
one another in carrying off the honors
for the season. In addition to these
there are four pool and billiard tables
each aligned and leveled to a mathemat
ical Jegree. For these who delight in the
heated exercise of bowling and other
athletic exercises, several tubs and four
shower baths have been provided, the
rooms given over to each being wain
scoted in marble and tile. Toilet rooms
and over 200 lockers of the keyless pat
tern, are addod.
While no formal programme of dedica
tion was carried out last evening, Secre
tary Grace was accorded the honor of
rolling the first ball over the new alleys.
Similar dedicatory exercises were carried
out with respect to the billiard tables,
Secretary Grace" scoring a hit in each.
A feature that commended itself to the
visitors, and which it is expected will b3
liberally patronized, was the lunch stand,
equipped for the serving of light meals
in conjunction with the department. It
was liberally patronised last night, and
the several hundred visitors were regaled
with appetizing lunches.
Owing to the fact that many were
unable to participate in the opening
last night, Secretary Grace announces
that open house will again prevail Thurs
day night when all will be given an
opportunity of seeing the department.
Last night was a happy moment for
Secretary Grace and the directors of the
organization. The undertaking has cost
much money, but by increased ettend
anne and the giving to young men of
wholesome sport, they hope to benefit
to the extent of making it selfsupport
injr if not remunerative. The new depart
ments must be seen to be appreciated,
and the directors extend a hearty Invita
tion to all to come and view it.

GRAVE i Gil
TRINITY LUTHERAN CHURCH MUST
TAKE UP 'HIS RESIGNA
,.' ''''- ' ■'""' •;" TION AGAIN
UNLESS HE CAN EXPLAIN
Papers From Norway Give Version
of Hi* Departure That Is
Not Wholly Cred
itable.
"The Trinity Norwegian Lutheran
church can do nothing else under the
circumstances than to take up the resig
nation of Mr. Gjertsan again. Whether
it will be accepted or not I am not Jn a
position to say now. It must be con
ceeded that matters look very grave for
him, but possibly he can explain."
A prominent member of Trinity church,
the society which Rev. M. Falk Gjertsen
has served for more than twenty years,
thus expressed himself yesterday when
the clippings of Norwegian papers were
shown him. These are bearing on the
scandalous charges preferred against
him by two Christiania clergymen, and
to meet which he went to Norway early
in January. Mr. Gjertsen returned to
Minneapolis Saturday, and in an inter
view said that his reason for returning
at this time was that it would cost too
much to push the case, and that it would
also take several months to do so suc
cessfully. The day after Mr. Gjerts.n re
turned a Christiania paper brought the
information that Gjertsen left Norway
upon hearing that the authorities wsre
about to arrest him for having violated
the law in bringing the scandalous charge.*
against innocent men.
The matter is the outcome of an Im
moral letter received by the wife of a
Christian missionary. It was of an anon
ymous character, but the woman, who
claims to have received other letters
from Gjertsen, declared it was penned
by him. She gave it to her husband,
who again submitted it to the Revs.
Messrs. Hansteeu and Larsen, who were
Ihe ministers to write Gjertsen in regard
to the matter and demanded that he re
sign from the ministry. A copy of this
letter was sent also to Prof. George Sver
drup, president of the Augsburg semi
nary. Gjertsen then left for Norway.
When Gjortsen first arrived in Noi'wa'v
public sympathy was with him and his
story was generally accepted. According

POLICEMAN MAKES CHARGES.
. - • • •••„. -j „.....-,
Says Mayor* Private Secretary Re- .'.
Quested Contribution*. .
Ex-Policeman " James M-errlck claims
that he was induced by Tom Brown, the
mayor's secretary, to make a payment of
$20 a month, to help defray the campaign
expenses of the mayor, and has made an
affidavit to that effect. IMerrlck says that
he paid the amount two times, but re
fused to come to tho scratch the third
time, and believes that this was the
cause of his being discharged. The pub
lication of the affidavit has created quite
a sensation.
The facts as Merrick presents them
have been a matter of common knowl
edge for several days, but the matter has
not yet been given publication, owing to
the' fact that the statement could not be
corroborated.* Merrick says he knows of
several other men who have been sub
jected to the same toll, but he refused to
give their names. An effort has been
made to locate the officers, both among
the old and new men, who have had to
"put up," but none has baen found.
Even discharged men say they do not
believe the story.
Brown flatly denies the charges in toto,
and says there is no possible explanation
except as to pointing out a possible ani
mus for Mel-rick's act. He had been dis
charged, and this might be a method of
getting even.
