10 PROPOSES A PENSION FOR DISABLED POLICEMEN Bill So Framed to Secure Means of Living for Men Who Serve Twenty Years on Force or Are Disabled in the Line of Duty. 'A bill has been introduced in the leg islature to provide a pension of not more than $40 a month for policemen ■who are permanently injured in the discharge of their duties or jvho have attained the age of fifty-five years af ter twenty years' of service. This act will apply to all cities in the state of more than 50,000. inhabitants, and the money is to come from a tax levied en is rampant. There are 190 policemen, all told, in St. Paul. Their life is varied. They are divided into three watches. Perhaps the hardest watch is the one which be gins at 9 o'clock at night and ends at 7 in the morning. It is between these hours that crime Is rampart. The thermometer registers 15 de grees below zero. The officer is clad in. a fur coat, heavy boots and thick un derwear — expensive garments. He may be sent to the Rondo district, ■where he has to patrol a beat two and one-half miles long; he may be sent to the wholesale district, where he has to feel his way into alleys; he may be sent on Seventh street or the Seven corners, where he. has to try hundreds of doors and look at thousands of win dows. If anything on his beat goes wrong he is blamed for it. The policeman must watch out for burglaries and fires, according to the rules laid down by Chief O'Connor. He must fight odds to prevent crime. Officer Meyers did this a short time ago and he is dead. Burglars on Uni versity avenue killed him. The policeman must imperil his life at a fire to save the lives of others. Some of them now go along the street Avith a slight limp. It was nothing. The man with the limp saved a child in a fire on St. Peter street. He broke his ankle in doing^so and was laid up for a month in a hos pital. Another officer has a scar on his face and an occasional headache. St. Paul policemen don't think much of that. They were caused by protecting a citi zon from a highwayman. The policeman is fifty-five years old. He has seen twenty years' service. He has raised a family. He feels he is too old for active service and seeks retire ment. What Other Cities Do. Here is what other cities do for him: In Chicago, under the same condi tion, he draws from the pension fund from $500 to $2,500 a year, dependent upon his rank in the department. In New York he draws the same. In Boston he draws half the highest pay he has ever received. In Indianapolis he draws $40 a month. Tho pay of the S.t. Paul patrolman— $70 a month—is the smallest paid by any city. In Boston and New York the patrolmen get as much as the lieu tenants do here. The actual work of the police here is rom-idered by Billy Pinkerton to be the hardest. Records show that the actual neces sary expenses of the St. Paul police man for clothing, fuel, etc., are greater than those of a. policeman in any city In the country. "I have served on the police force for more than twenty years." said a police lieutenant yesterday. "When I went on the force I had $60: now I haven't 60 cents which I can really call my own. I have brought up and educated a family of nine children. I have done that much for the state even if I am poor. I am getting old now, but my police experience has unfitted me for other work." The bill before the legislature is safeguarded with every provision against fraud. The pensioners may at any time be called into active serv ice when the occasion requires. The main features of the bill are as fol lows: Terms of the Bill. 1.

Said board shall, upon receipt of said report from said po lice surgeon, determine whether such dis abled member of said police force is en titled to be placed on said pension list, and if so entitled it shall determine the amount he shall receive as a pension, which shall in no case exceed the sum of $40 a month, provided, however, that no member of said police force shall be placed on said pension list or become en titled to any relief from said pension fund by reason of any injury received or disease contracted while in the perform ance of his duty as above set forth, ex cept upon the unanimous vote of all the members of said police pension board. 2.

Said board shall, upon sufficient proof being shown, as in the last two sections provided, by such policeman, place such policeman on such pension list and such person shall then be entitled to receive from said pension fund, a monthly pen sion in the sum of $40 per month during his life. Provision is made to stop the pen sion when a man incapacited from service by injuries has recovered his health. It is thought the passage of the bill will prevent the necessity of taking up collections among policemen for the benefit of officers injured in the line of duty. A collection of this kind has been taken up lately. REFUSE TO INDORSE RANDOLPH ST. LINE Give Little Encouragement to Bequest for Aid. Randolph street property owners to the number of about thirty, who ap peared before the committee on streets of the board of aldermen yesterday afternoon to request the aid of the council in the restoring of their old street car line, received little satisfac tion for their trouble. The building of the Randolph line, the tendering of aid in the shape of a $65,000 bonus by the property owners to the original promoters, its absorp tion by the St. Paul Street Railway company, and later its abandonment under promise to aga-in restore it, is an old story, but it did not appeal to the members of the board yesterday. Led by Aid. Dobner, the other mem bers demanded an opinion from the legal department as to their authority in the premises and refused to give the request of the property owners any indorsement until the opinion had been received. How the property owners had been treated by the company, the loss of property by many who had banked largely on the improvement, was told the committee by a number of the property owners, among them George Gerlach. Mr. Gerlach spoke for the trustees of the orphan asylum, who, he said, had sacrificed $3,000 as their part of the bonus. This was supple mented later by assessments for grad ing and sewers which practically brought their interest into the car line up to $5,000. Others told of sim ilar payments, and, in the cases of some, practical confiscation of their small holdings. The agitation for the restoring of the old line, as far as the present council is concerned, was begun by Aid. Rohland, of the Fifth ward, who caused the drafting of an ordinance demanding its reconstruction. The in dorsement of the measure carried with it nothing more than the good wishes of the council, the work of forcing the line then being up to the legal de partment, but even this was refused yesterday. Aid. Rohland pleaded, but Aid. Dob ner demurred, and on his motion the matter was deferred until the legal department could be heard from. This Assistant Corporation Attorney Mc- Dermott said was not necessary, as an opinion would be given anyway in case it was found that the company was hostile to the line. While to all appearances only a characteristic delay, it is generally conceded that the committee is not favorable to the rebuilding of the line. Aid. Dobner wants what he calls a cross-town line running through his ward, and, it is said, will make every effort to defeat the other proposition. Aid. Rohland threatens to have the measure recalled from the committee and to force action one way or the other at the next meeting. State Bank Elects Officers. The annual meeting of the stock holders and directors of this bank re sulted in the re-election of the old di rectors and officers. The directors are M. P. Ryan, Georg* Michel, E. M; Pope, P. Schollert, H. G. Haas, Joseph Matz and Robert B. Burns. President, M. P. Ryan; vice president, George Michel; cashier, K. M. Pope; assistant cashier, J. jj. Haas. THE ST. PAUC GLOBS,. FRIDAY, JANUARY 16, 1903. ROASTS STATE FAIR MANAGERS New Solon From Lac Qui Parle Dubs Them a "Pat ent Leather Bunch." C. N. Cosgrove, of Le Sueur, was re elected president of the State Agricul tural society at Its closing session yes terday morning in the Commercial club. Mr. Cosgrove made an address in which he expressed entire satisfaction with the progress of the society in the past year, and with the present con vention. Other officers were re-elected as follows: First vice president, Chester R. Smith, St. Paul; second vice president, B. F. Nelson, Minneapolis; secretary, E. W. Randall, Hamline; treasurer, F. J. Wilcox, Northfield; board of man agers, J. M. Underwood, Lake City; L. D. Baird, Austin; M. W. Liggett, St. Anthony Park; N. S. Gordon, Crook- ston; W. G. Sawyer, Partridge; J. C. Curryer, Mankato. Representative John Rosenwald, of Lac gui Parle, in endeavoring to secure for his county a place on the board of managers of the society, caused a rip ple of excitement to disturb the ses sion's calm. He denounced the official management of the state fair as a "patent leather" bunch and invited them to prove their right to run the affairs of the state. Mr. Rosenwald protested that the affairs of the agri cultural society were controlled by one spot on the map and declared that as a representative of the farmers of West ern Minnesota he entered a protest. He nominated P. J. Jacobson for a place on the board after L. D. Baird, of Austin, had been nominated for the same place. Mr. Baird was elected. The convention passed a resolution urging the legislature to make a law levying a tax of one-third of a mill on the property of the state for a period of four years to supply funds by which the necessary buildings may be erected on the university farm. Other resolu tions indorsed the action of the state fair committee in excluding from the grounds all objectionable featur -, and the good roads movement. WANTS PAY FOR TWO ELECTROCUTED COWS City Railway Company Is Sued for Killing Animals. Judge Brill and a jury are hearing evidence in the case brought against the St. Paul City Railway company by George E. Tyllia, who demands a set tlement for two of his cows, which, he claims, were electrocuted as a result of negligence on the part of the street car company. The plaintiff alleges that a telephone wire, which had fallen across the trol ley and highly charged with electricity, was allowed to remain in the street for several hours, and that as a result two of his cows came in contact with the wire and were killed. He sues for $120. BRACKEN GOES TO THE PLAGUE MEETING Board of Health Sends Representative to National Capital. The state board of health at its meet ing at Minneapolis yesterday indorsed the action of Dr. Bracken, secretary of the state board of health, in asking that a meeting be held at Washington to dis cuss the bubonic plague and appointed Dr. Bracken to represent Minnesota at the conference. The conference will be attended by rep resentatives from the health boards of all the states, and these together with the United States officials will discuss the matter thoroughly and in all probability recommend some action to be taken. The conference will be held .at Washington commencing Monday next and Dr. Brack en left last evening for the East. : - : The state board passed a resolution to the effect that all sheep sent out from the South St. Paul stock yards to points in Mir?iiesota must be "dipped" once, and that sheep showing any clinical symptoms of scab at the first dipping be held ten days before being sold in "the state. £« The board favored the establishing of dairy marts in the Twin Cities and at other points- throughout the state and agreed to the tuberculin test to all cattle offered for sale at the. various marts so established. The idea is to protect the dairymen who purchase cattle from get ting animals in their herds which have tnhiirpiilAolo Special medical inspectors were appoint ed, the physicians being charged under direction of the board to investigate and report on smallpox cases especially. The inspectors appointed were: Drs. C. B. Lenont, Virginia; George E Sherwood. Kimball; C. E. Bryant, Kine ston; C. W. Meckstroth. Brandon; E V Chilton, Howard Lake; W. R. Hand El bow Lake; P. D.

BREEDERS TALK ABOUT STUDIES Stockmen Warm Up Over Stats School Methods. The Minnesota Live .Stock Breeders* association held ita annual meeting yesterday afternoon in the parlors of the Commercial dub. J. J. Furlong, of Austin, presided. The members of the association are also members of the State AgrieitfturHl society. The busi ness transacted- was chiefly routine, consisting of the reading of reports and the election »f officers. A little excitement was occasioned when Charles Kenning, chairman of a committee that was appointed by the association a year ago to see if it were possible to have more time devoted to the study of breeds in the agricultural school, read his report. Mr. Kenning in that report stated that the commit tee thought the study of chemistry might be dispensed with and that time given to the study of breeds. The re port also criticised the giving of time to the study of the origin of breeds. Such study was not practical, it asserted, and the pupils might with more profit de vote their time to the study of the breeds as they are now. J. C. Mills, of Preston, treasurer of the association, declared, such criti cism was outside the province of the committee. He said that it was the place of the faculty to decide upon what studies were important. In reply, Mr. Kenning stated that the committee had fairly \ investigated the agricultural school's curriculum and in good faith had concluded that the studies he mentioned were not so important as others and that time Bhould not be wasted on them that might more profitably be devoted to the important study of breeds. The report was finally tabled, but the committee was continued, with in structions to iook into the matter once more. A motion was passed empowering the chair to appoint a committee of five to confer with the governor and request him to put twe members of the association on the state board of health. Secretary Randall, of the state fair association, annqunced that the Amer ican Hereford breeders and the Amer ican Cattle breeders had each made a contract with the state fair associa tion for an exhibit and sale on the fair grounds next fall. He also stated that the Shorthorn Cattle association had offered $250 on the condition that the fair association give another $250 for prizes to be distributed among the winners' in the Shorthorn exhibit. The officers of the association were all re-elected. They are: President, J. J. Furlong, Austin; first vice president, A. H. Bullis, Winnebago City; second vice president, D. S. Hall, Buffalo Lake; secretary, Prof. Thomas Shaw, St. An thony Park; treasurer, J. C. Mills, Preston. There were some changes In the ex ecutive committee necessitated by the redistricting of the state. The commit tee is as follows: First district, Lyman D. Baird, Austin; Second, L. C. Hodg son, Luverne; Third, J. A. Tinpane, "Waterville; Fourth, Luke S-t-annard, Taylor's Falls; Fifth, F. W. Baird, Dia mond Mills; Sixth, N. K. Hunt, St. Cloud; Seventh, Charles Kenning, Os ceola; Ninth, L. A. Huntoon, Moor head. The member from the Eighth district will be appointed by the exec utive committee. FAIR COMMISSION IS ORGANIZED FOR WORK C. S. Mitchell Is Chosen for Superin tendent of Minnesota Exhibit. The commissioners appointed by Gov.

Underwood, of Lake City, vice president, and Theodore L- Hays, of Minneapolis, secretary. The three commissioners, accom panied by Gov.

Mitchell, of Alexandria, has been selected by the commission as general superintendent of the state ex hibit. The commission will have $50,000 to expend, and under the law not moro than $10,000 Is to be allowed for sal aries of the superintendent and all em ployes. The commissioners do not get any salary, but they are allowed $1,000 each as expenses. BOY IS INDICTED BY FEDERAL GRAND JURY William Ernst Must Stand Trial for Passing Bad Money. The federal grand jury made its sec ond report yesterday afternoon, at which time indictments were return ed against William Ernst, the boy ar rested last week on a charge of at tempting to pass counterfeit money, and also one against Andrew Berghoff, who is charged with mutilating a rural free delivery mail box in the vicinity of North Branch. . A number of secret Indictments were also returned against alleged offenders who are not yet in custody, and the warrants for their arrest were placed in the hands of the United States mar shal.

Northwest ESTATE SHRINKS TO $369,000 Property Left by C. D. Gil fillan Is Less Than Was Expected. The will of the late C. D. Gilfillan, which was filed for probate yesterday, shows that the value of the estate, in stead of being worth from $1,000,000 to $3,000,000 as had been estimated, is worth but $369,900. The property con sists of bank stock valued at $43,000; Stillwater Water company stock, $3,300; Pacific Coast Land company, $150,100; Redwood county land and personal property, $22,000, and realty worth $151,500. By the terms of the will the revenue from the estate, with the exception of the personal property and Redwood county lands, is divided between the widow, Fanny S. Gilfillan, two daugh ters, Emma K. Gilfillan and Fanny W. Kingsland Smith, and two sons, C. O. and Fred J. Gilfillan. A trust is created which hold the estate for the benefit of the grandchildren. The will was made Nov. 15, 1897, at which time the wife waived her right to a widow's one-third of the proper ty. In accordance with a codicil drawn Aug. 8,1902, C. O. Gilfillan, E. H. Bailey and John Caulfield were named as trustees of the estate, which trust had previously been vested in the St. Paul Trust company. It is probable that the trust will be attacked by the heirs. TO BUILD RAILROAD ALONG RED LAKE SHORE Red Lake Transportation Company Will Issuo $100,000 Worth of Bonds. The Red Lake Transportation com pany filed with the secretary of state yesterday a trust deed to Walter G. Marson, of Minneapolis. The company has a franchise to construct and oper ate a line of railroad along the shore of Red lake, and has the road construct ed from Red Lake Landing to a point two miles southeast of Nebish. It is desirous of extending the line to Whiteflsh lake, and in order to do this work and make other improve ments will issue $100,000 in 6 per cent gold-bearing bonds. The deed is given to Marson to guarantee the pay ment of the bonds. Charles H. Rich ards, president, and Adolph Knudson, secretary, signed the deed for the com pany. PORCH CLIMBERS ARE SENTENCED TO PRISON Banks and Clark Women Get Terms in Duress. The cases against a quartette of porch climbers was finally disposed of yesterday, at which time Kelly sen tenced, three of them, and allowed the fourth, Irwin Brown, to go free. James Scott was sentenced to four and a half years in the Stillwater prison, having pleaded guilty to grand larceny in the second degree. The two women in the case, who also pleaded guilty to grand larceny in the second degree, were given much shorter sentences. Lulu Banks was sent to the workhouse for five and a half months, and May Clark will spend the next seven months in the county Jail. Assistant County At torney O'Neill told the court that the only case in which Scott could be con nected with the others was that of the De Wilde indictment, where a room was robbed in the Windsor hotel, and he did not think there was evidence sufficient to secure a conviction, and moved that the indictments be nolled. Ries Saved the Check. The case of the state against William Stennis, charged with stealing an over coat, cap and $30 in money from George H. Ries, a Shakopee butcher, will be called in the criminal division of the district court this morning. Ries came to St. Paul and chose Sten nis as a companion in his sightseeing tour. At the time the robbery occurred Ries had a check for $100, which he had been unable to cash, and thus saved this amount. Draft on State Treasury Begins. Members of the legislature and em ployes yesterday drew.512,497 from the state - treasury on the first ten days' pay roll.

They were R. Masejumi, a prom inent barrister of Japan, who is going to Albany, N. V., where he will address a meeting of the American Bar asso ciation on "The Jurisprudence of Japan." The other was K. Jmaizumi, director of the steel department of the govern ment iron and steel works, and he is bound for the great steel manufactur ing centers, where he will make a study of American methods of steel work ing. They yesterday morning called on President J. J. Hill, of the Great North ern, and other railroad officials. Milwaukee Roads Pays State $25,000-.
