"I worked one day for the coliseum did you?" This is the latest and most approved plan for raising the funds necessary for the erection of a coliseum for St. Paul. Briefly the plan is to set aside a day, preferably in May, on which every man, woman and child in the city, will turn in his or her days wages to the coliseum fund. The idea was presented to the execu tive committee at the meeeting held yes terday afternoon in the Commercial club rooms by Valentine Heinrich. Mr. Heinrich suggested that every person in the city give one day's income and re ceive in return a badge bearing the words quoted above. The plan proposes to secure the interest of every organi zation in the city, fraternal, labor and the like and to have them handle wie funds frcm the members of each organi zation. The city is to be thoroughly canvassed and every person from the highest to the lowest is to toe asked to give up the proceeds of one day's labor for the coliseum. J. J. Mahan wrote to' tlie committee from St. Louis, making practica^y the same suggestion as Mr. Heinrich. '±^8 committee received them enthusiastlcalr ly. and the members expressed them selves as feeling confident that the de sired funds could be raised in this man ner in almost one day. The committee appointed to draft articles of incorporation presented the re sult of its labors, which was adopted. The articles provide that the association shall be known as the St. Paul Colliseum association. The aim of the asssociation, as denned in tne articles, is to erect and maintain a building suitable for the ac commodation of conventions 1, expositions, agricultural and horticultural displays, fairs, exhibitions, banquets, conceits and all lawful methods of public entertain ment. Disposition of Receipts. The association is given the power to purchase real estate for the site and to receive donations, but none of the money received is to be used for another pur pose than the erection and equipment of a coliseum. The amount of capital stock is set down as $10,000 at $1 a share, wmch is to be paid upon call in installments of 25 cents per share. No person is to be allowed to own more than 100 shares and no person can cast more votes than allowed for this number. The board of directors is to consist of twenty-six members, one-half of "whom are to be elected or one year, and one half for two years. The directors are to elect a president, first, second and third vice presidents, a secretary and treas urer, none of which are to receive com pensation excepc the secretary. Tne officers and directors of the asso ciation are prohibited from ever having the power to mortgage the property of the association or to place thereon a trust bond or lien. The limit of in debtedness of the association is $10,000. Provision is made that in case the as sociation should decide to wind up its affairs, all the money on hand, after the indebtedness is paid, shall revert to the public library. The report of the subcommittee favored the appointment of different committees, the chairman of the executive committee to appoint the chairmen, and they to se lect the membership of their own com mittees. Chairman C. B. Bowlby ap pointed the following: Schemes and Special Entertainments- Wilbur Tibbils. Devices for Donors —Ike Lederer. Legislation—H. W. Childs. By-laws—E. Yannish. Incorporation—J. W.

CHAMBER FAVORS IT AUDITORIUM PROJECT CAME BE FORE BOARD OF DIRECTORS YESTERDAY TO BE DISCUSSED NEXT WEEK Resolution Introduced by Kuss Clarke Referred to Committee on Municipal Affairs for Report. The board of directors of the Chamber of Commerce went on record yesterday as being in favor of the erection of an auditorium for St. Paul. There were but fourteen members of the board present, and they took the matter up in a cau tious manner, not caring to take any definite position as long as there were not more present. The sentiment express ed on all (sides was that an auditorium was one of the greatest needs of the city, and that in not having one the city was a little behind. The matter of the coliseum was brought to the attention of the board of directors through the reading of the report of the committee that went to Kansas City and Omaha. The report, which has been printed in full in Th c G 1 ob c, was read to the directors by L. W. Corning, who was chairman of the committee. In order to find out how the directors stood on the proposition, Ross Clark in troduced a resolution to the effect that the Chamber of Commerce was in ac cord with the 'proposition to erect an auditorium for the city, and that the building should be erected as soon es the funds necessary for the purpose had been raised. Maj. Espy thought the resolution in troduced by Mr. Clark was not emphatic enough for the occasion, as in his opin ion the chamber should go on record as ■being enthusiastically in favor of an au ditorium. In his arguments in behuif of a more pronounced stand he pointed out that St. Louis and other cities had re ceived great benefits from their audi torium, which more than repaid the orig inal cost of construction. He touched upon the fact in a sarcastic vein, that al ready there had been three cornerstones laid in this city with this end in view, and these had been abandoned. He thought that it was useless to start un less St. Paul had made its mind up to carry the project through to a succe*s§ful finish. Thomas Coohrane reiterated the state ment of Siaj. Espy regard public opinion. He said that the only way possible fo se cure the desired auditorium was to have it backed up by vigorous and aggressive action on the part of the citizen?. He had no doubt that if that was secured there would be little difficulty found in building the coliseum. W. B. Dorr did not think the chamber could go any fur ther at the time than the resolution of fered by Mr. Clark, and he stated that in his belief it covered the ground as fully as was necessary for the time be ing. Gen. J. B. Sanborn proposed an amc-nd ment which provided that the funds lo be raised for the building should be secured by subscription and entertainments, and not by taxation. Otherwise, he thought, trre resolution was satisfactory. His amendment was attached after some de bate. The whole matter was finally referred to the committee on municipal affairs with instructions to report at the next meeting, when the auditorium will be made a special order of business ana discussed before the entire chamber. An invitation will be extended to the general auditorium committee to be present to enlighten members of the chamber on any point which they do not understand. NEWSPAPER MEN WORK COMMITTEES REPORT PROGRES! OX PLANS FOR EXTERTAIXMEXT. The newspaper men of St. Paul held their second meeting yesterday after noon, in the Commercial club rooms, for the purpose of devising means to help raise the funds for the coliseum. The different committees appointed to ar range the preliminary details made par tial repots and were given further time to finish their work. The newspaper men have in mind an entertainment, or a series of entertainments, to be given in the near future, the net proceeds of which are to be turned over to the coli seum committee. The chairmen; of the different commit tees yesterday reported on several plans for the consideration of the committee of the whole, and there was considerable discussion indulged in. It was finally de cided to meet again at the call of the chairman, Smith B. Hall, when the dif ferent committees will have settled on j their plans. BIDS FOR SPRINKLING BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS WILL. OPEX THEM IX MARCH. Next month bids will be opened' by - the boar<l of public work 3 for the sprink linK of the several districts arranged by the city council. The work will rep resent an expenditure of $40,000. Au odd feature of the whole thing 5s that those who did the i work last year ape still waiting for a goodly portion of tlieir pay, not an estimate having been audited by the comptroller sine<> last August. Some of the 'estimates are be ing held up by the city, engineer pend ing a settlement of the differenc 23 be tween the contractors and the city over a forced curtailment of the sprinkling season, but the others have been in the handa of the comptroller for several mci;ths and have rot been' acted upon yet. The contractors say the city owes them about $12,0©0, and from present prospects will still be . owing it to th«m for two months^to come.

News of the decision of the United States supreme court was received at the state capitol yesterday morning, shortly tefore noon, and immediately afterwards the governor, Attorney General Douglas, Gen. Wilson and M. D. Munn held a con ference in the attorney. general's office to discuss the matter. While the state officials were naturally \.cry much disappointed they have for several days been preparing for unfa vorable news and were not particularly surprised. The governor immediately called -his stenographer,- and dictated the following statement for the comfort of the faithful: "It cannot ib 3 stated positiv?ly what will ba the method of procedure until the full text of the decision of the supreme court on the question of jurisdiction has been studied. The state will proceed in some form at once, and will exhaust every means in its* power to enforce its laws and protect its rights." The forthcoming action of Attorney General Knox, reported several days ago, gave the state officials more hope, and because of that balm the decision of the court was not so severe a blow as it might otherwise have been. Attorney General Douglas would say little beyond indorsing the statement of the governor. He said the decision in no way touched upon the merits of the case. He said: "The court "may have denied jurisdiction en one of two grounds; either on the ground that the statute violated is a penal statute or on the ground of non joinder of parties. If the first ground is taken, the action will be brought in the state's courts. If the second ground was taken, it may be brought in either the state court or the federal court of this district. It may come either in the form of a quo warranto or an injunction. The people may be sure, however, that their rights will be protected, and the federal courts will assume jurisdiction in the suit to be 'brought by Attorney General Knox." The attorney general will receive a copy of the supreme court's decision within a few days, and then the future course of action will be determined. ECGS TAKE A TUMBLE WARM WEATHER CAUSES A DROP OF OVER THIRTY PER CENT PRICE NOW NINETEEN CENTS Commission Men, Flooded by Ij«rg-e Shipments, Had to Saerifle Former < 'onsig-nniciits at a Loss. The lowly hen is busy, so busy in tact that the fruits of her industry were yes terday quoted on 'change at 19 cents a dozen, a drop of over 7 cents from the day previous. Today Should s«e a further fall and if the present warm spell continues, a general figure of 15 cents straight before the week is finished. To the dealer in eggs yesterday was a dark day on 'change and more than one merchant along commission row found himself on the short side of the ledger in consequence. Eggs poured into the city and stocks purchased at fancy prices had to be sacrificed in order to take care of them. A week ago 27 and even 30 cents a dozen was considered a fair price and at these figures some heavy investments were made, tfie purchasers banking on a rate that would reimburse them hand somely for their foresight and trouble. The crash is attributed by the com mission men to the unusually warm weather, it being general r all over the state. This has started the hens laying and farmers, realizing the high rate pre vailing, bave suffered no delay in get ting the prodaict of their henneries to the market. Ordinarily the cold storage product is thrown on the market the moment fresh gocds begin to make their appearance in any quantity, but this time there are no cold storage eggs, at least ttie com mission men say so. They say that the iVmand for eggs in the past two months has been so great, that stocks were sad ly depleted. This activity of Mrs. Hen will be re ceived by "householders generally with much satisfaction. For the past two weeks, 30 cents a dozen for goods, often of uncertain age, was a common figure and the prospects were decidedly favor able for even a greater figure. Deposits made on or before March 5, will receive one month's interest on April 1. Security Trust Company, N. Y. Life Bldg. SELECTING CANDIDATES XOX-PARTISAX CO3IMITTEE ItE CEIVES REPORTS FROM WARDS.

Instead of $6,000 which is required an nually to remove the traces of winter to the shape of filthy mud and rotted ice this spring will see the amount swelled to $10,000. The difference is the result of the unusually warm weather which St. Paul is now enjoying. "This is a new experience to me," snict City Engineer Claussen yesterday, "and if it continues for the remainder of the week, my street cleaning "Tund will be touched for all of $4,000. This depart ment will suffer, along in July and Au gust in consequence, but it can't be help ed." Nearly fifty men and ten teams were put to work yesterday removing mud and ice in the Fourth ward, and while th^re was some relief it was only temporary. From the heavy grades there was a constant stream of muddy water and slime which ran down over the crossings and required the constant attendance of men with 'brooms and shovels.
