DAHLQUIST WINS OUTHas Broadway Loop Ordinance
Passed by Assembly.
Aid. A. Dahlquist appeared beforethe assembly last evening and securedthe passage of an ordinance requiringthat the Como-Harriet street cars becompelled to go around the Broadway-loop, going down Fifth street to Broad-way, Broadway to Seventh, Seventh toCedar, Cedar to Eighth and Eighth toWabasha.
The ordinance gives the company theprivilege of using the Cedar streetloop, there having been some legalquestion about the right heretofore,but when this feature was called toDahlquist's attention he said that itwas purposely included.
In his argument in favor of the pas-sage of the ordinance Mr. Dahlquistsent to the clerk's desk and had readhis farewell address to trie council, inwhich he said that he had during thepast four years done everything withfnhis power to secure the passage of anordinance requiring the operation ofthe Broadway loop, but had concludedto ask for the operation of only one ofthe leading lines. He continued:
"As I am about to retire from thecouncil, I wish to thank you, gentle-men of the assembly, for the kind andcourteous consideration which has al-ways been given to me, in matters inwhich I was interested, and I wish tosay that with the exception of twomembers of your honorable body Ihave always been treated like a gen-tlemen when I appeared before you,and as to those two members will saythat my inability to express myselfcorrectly worried them much morethan their inability to vote honestly inmatters concerning the interests of thecity.
"If the assembly will pass this ordi-nance I will guarantee it will gothrough the board of aldermen," con-tinued Dahlquist, after the laugh cre-ated by his fling at two assemblymenhad died .out.
"Are you sure that you can makesuch a guarantee?" asked Assembly-man Schurmeier.
"I think so," was the answer.With this understanding the seven
members of the assembly present votedfor the ordinance. Arnold and Haaswere the absentees.

MAYOR TINS DOWMINISTER'S OFFER
Open Letter Written by Rev.J. M. Fulton Will Be
Ignored.
In an open letter to Mayor Smiththe Rev. John M. Fulton, pastor of theCentral Presbyterian church, makesthe suggestion that he be allowed toparticipate in the government of thecity, and his offer is promptly declinedby the mayor.
Assuming, for public purposes, thata published statement appearing in anevening paper and purporting to comefrom the mayor, was correct, Rev. Mr.Fulton writes that the sentiments suithim, and that he is more than willingto advise with the mayor as to themanner in which city affairs should beconducted. The mayor repudiates theinterview and at the same time declinesthe offer of Rev. Mr. Fulton.
The quotations from the denied in-terview of which the Rev. Mr. Fultonmakes the principal use are: "Nowlet's turn in and try to make St. Paulthe best city in the country. Whenthings go wrong I want the people totell me. Wte all ought to work to-gether."
Following up this idea, Rev. Mr. Ful-ton reiterates the charges he madeagainst the administration from thepulpit during the campaign, classifyingthem under four heads, as follows:First, that the Sunday laws are notenforced; second, that the saloons arenot sufficiently regulated as to the hourof closing and as to the sale of liquorto minors; third, that the social evilshould be regulated by the arrest andprosecution of all persons found vio-lating the law regulating the subject;fouth, that gambling in all its formsshould be abolished.
The mayor puts a quietus on th<»discussion by flatly saying that he didnot make the statement accredited tohim.
"There Is nothing to discuss," saidthe mayor when he was seen at theMetropolitan hotel. "Never having In-vited Dr. Fulton to participate in thecity government, I do not feel that itis necessary for me to enter into a dis-cussion that was so thoroughlythrashed over during the campaign,and which was settled in such a satis-factory manner by the voters. As themayor of the city, I do not conceivethat it is my duty to discuss the policyof the administration in the publicpress, particularly in view of the factthat I did not make the statement at-tributed to me."
It was made clear by the mayor byinference, if not in actual words, thathe does not a£k or expect advice fromthe persons who a few days ago weredoing all in their power to accomplishhis defeat for re-election. Particular-ly that persons who make use of openletters will get little consolation at hishands.

DUNN SMS REPORTIS POLITICAL TRICK
Former State Auditor AccusesGovernor and Public
Examiner.
The report of S. T. Johnson, statepublic examiner, relating to the inves-tigation by his office of the recordsof the state auditor's office during theadministrations of R. C. Dunn from1895 to 1903, and that of State AuditorS. G. Iverson, from Jan. 3 to the dateof filing the report, April20, was madepublic yesterday on the order of Gov.Van Sant.
The report, which had been In thegovernor's possession since April 20,was turned over by the governor onWednesday and the fact of its exist-ence was made known to newspapermen simultaneously with its transferto the attorney general's office. It wassought by the newspaper men butwithout success until yesterday. At-torney General Donahower declared hehad not read the report, but on thegovernor's order he yesterday made itpublic. In transmitting the report tothe attorney general, the governorwrote on May 3: "The report upon itsface seems to indicate that in order tomaintain the interests of the statemany trespassers upon public landsshould be proceeded against forthwith.Irespectfully urge that you give thismatter your immediate and earnest at-tention and that such action be takenas is warranted by law."
The Johnson report reflects upon theadministration of the state auditor'soffice under Dunn, and says that theformer state auditor by accepting pay-ments for timber taken by trespasserson state lands at the estimator's fig-ures, instead of demanding either dou-ble or treble damages as contemplatedby the law, has lost to the state manythousands of dollars.
4 Mr. Dunrr Is Aroused.The report calls forth from Mr. Dunna scorching rejoinder,, in which the
former auditor; explains the figuresquoted and accuses Johnson and 5 thegovernor of springing the report for apolitical purpose atone." * '«i"i-- > '\u25a0\u25a0-
+ . Sixty-seven eases are considered bythe Johnson report, for which the es-timators values are given at $34,421.17,a.nd. for which there was Paid to thestate $34,591.44. Under the rule ofdouble damages the state has lost, ac-J??* 1"* to the Johnson -Bgures, $34,---177.72, with an additional loss fromfourteen caes cited of $11,572, where,
ii?Jr,itlon to the stumpage value, thewinrul trespass value should have beenadded. ,...-.%.-\u25a0. -\u25a0.\u25a0\u25a0\u25a0 •-,'..
Two instances are cited as beingspecially reprehensible. One is the so-called H. C. Akeley case and which wasreferred to in a supplemental reportmade some time ago. The examinerreports that the records of the stateauditor's office show that in April,1900, the estimators reported to thestate auditor that the H. C. Akeleycompany, of Minneapolis, had pur-chased 3,768,464 feet of logs cut fromstate lands by small contractors. Theauditor offered to settle with Akeleyunder a letter of April 10, at $3 perthousand feet, but April 11 offered toaccept $2.50 per thousand feet for theentire 3,768,464 feet, and on June 11the Akeley company's check for $9,---233.65 was sent to the state treasurer.It is alleged that the standing pine lefton one of the pieces cut by the Akeleysubcontractors was estimated by thestate auditor's estimators at $3 andsold the next season to the Akeleycompany at $6.35 per thousand. Theexaminer says that at least $6 shouldhave been demanded by the state au-ditor, and that since It was willfultrespass the state should have recov-ered $18 per thousand, or a total of$67,832.35, instead of the $9,233.65 re-ceived, and on the assumption that thetrespass was involuntary the Akeleycontribution to the state should havebeen $45,221.50.
Buckman Case Cited.The report cites an Instance in which
Congressman C. B. Buckman, of LittleFalls, is alleged te have settled withthe former state auditor for trespass, ateven less than the estimator's value,and the records of the auditor's officeshow that the settlement was effectedby the state timber board, of whichformer Gow Lind was a member. Thereport says that 2,828,094 feet were cutby Buckman and the trespass recordshows that the basis of settlement was$5,351,03, while the total amount real-ized by the state was $4,000.
Testimony by James Mitchell, S. F.Fullerton and W. S. Dedon is includedin the report as bearing on the in-sinuation that loggers with a politicalpull were able to effect settlements totheir financial advantage with the for-mer state auditor.
Concluding his report to the gov-ernor, the state examiner writes thatin connection with the sixty-sevencases investigated, covering a periodfrom Jan. 1, 1895, to Dec. 31, 1902, hefinds the average price received by thestate for trespass logs was $2.94 perthousand feet, and that the averageprice realized frum pine sold at slateland sales was $4.60 per thousand.
The average price received for tim-ber in ninety cases of trespass settledby the state auditor since Jan: 1, 1903,is found to be $7.09 per thousand, and$6.08 is the average price realized fromthe sale of pine at public land sales.
The report submitted by the publicexaminer covers about seventy pagesand there is a great mass of detail notintelligible to men who have even someknowledge of the state system of keep-ing its pine land accounts.
Dunn Denounces Report.Mr. Dunn, when seen at his hojne in
Hamline last night, denounced the re-port as deceiving and misleading. Hesaid it was nothing more than a polit-ical dodge and that he had no fear ofits result. The report, he said, pur-ported to be the work of months of in-vestigation, whereas the -entire reportcould have been made from the stump-age records in two week's time and de-clared that it had been held hald backuntil this time for political effect.
The entire report, he insisted, was awillfulmisrepresentation of the facts,as only certain cases had been selectedout of the 700 or more which were set-tled during Mr. Dunn's record. Mr.Dunn says Mr. Johnson took only suchcases as would best suit their purposes.
"They have been very careful not tocite cases where double and treble dam-ages were collected by the state, andthere are plenty of them," he declared.
"Nine out of ten trespass cases," hecontinued, "are committed by small op-erators, by parties who are utterly ir-responsible. The state was fortunateto get the actual value of the logs inmany of the cases. There is anotherthing which is not explained in the re-port. While they went over the rec-ords and cited cases where double ortreble damages -were not collected theysay nothing of ttie explanations givenin each and every one of these cases.There Is an explanation to every case,and had the cases been carried into thecourts not a cent could have been col-lected.
"This matter has all been gone over

dozens of times, and there is not acase on the records that I cannot ex-plain. Regarding the man Mitchell'stestimony, I had never heard of it be-fore. His reports are all on file in theauditor's office, as are the reports of altother state cruisers.
Explains Akeley Case."They make much out of the H. C.
Akeley case, a case that has beenhandled altogether by State AuditorIverson. Akeley bought his logs from ascore or more of small operators, andIt would have been folly for the stateto have tried to collect from them."I want to say right here that Ihave never made any attempt to coverup anything in the auditor's office. Itwould have been an easy matter toreduce the estimates if there had beonany desire to make a showing, butnever a figure was altered. I made thebest settlement possible in each caseand was willing to let the settlement!?stand upon the records. The books inthe auditor's office will show nearly700 cases of trespass, ranging from $2to $11,000, and every cent is accountedfor. Barring two or three unsettledcases, and the Buckman case referredto is one of them, the attorney generalwill not be able to collect a dollar onthem.
"Comparisons are odious, it is said,but to compare trespass prices duringthe past two years with those of for-mer years is ridiculous, as the value ofpine stumpage has increased from 100to 200 per cent in the past two or threeyears, and I am perfectly willing tocompare records with Mr. Iverson, andmy record will not suffer by the com-parison.
"This whole thing is for political ef-fect, and has been held back purposelyuntil a short time before the state con-vention. Gov. Van Sant is well awareof this. He turned the report over tothe attorney general for considerationand then demanded that it should begiven to the press. If the governorreally had the interests of the stateat heart and believed and money couldbe recovered for the state, he was nothelping the attorney general any bygiving publicity to the report before ithad been examined by the attorneygeneral.
"The fact of the matter is, the onlymotive Gov. Van Sant had in viewwas to injure me in the matter and tofurther the candidacy of L. W. Collins.His conduct is neither manly norcourteous. So far as Johnson is con-cerned I would not believe him underoath, and have said so repeatedly. Hehas squandered thousands of dollars ofthe state's money for the sole purposeof Injuring me, and to help Judge Col-lins. The public wjll easily see throughit all.
"Ibid defiance to Gov. Van Sant andhis henchmen. Their report will notinjure me in the least, and it certainlywill not assist the candidacy of JudgeCollins.
"IfI deem it worth while Imay an-swer the report in detail and show upthe falsehoods it contains, provided Ican ever get a copy of the report.Through Mr. Flynn I demanded a copyof the report today, but was refused.There is nothing in the report butwhat I had expected. It was concoctedfor the sole purpose of helping JudgeCollins, and he and his managers arelargely responsible for it.
"I have saved the state of Minnesotamore money than all of its other offi-cials combined; I collected fifteen timesmore trespass money during my admin-istration than had been collected in allthe previous history of the state. My
record is an open book, and on thatrecord Iam perfectly willingto stand."
COUNTY CONVENTIONSIN NORTH DAKOTA
Republicans Throughout State WillHold Them Thursday and Saturday.
Republican county conventions willbe held quite generally throughoutNorth Dakota next Thursday and Sat-urday, and delegates will be chosen toboth the delegate and nominating con-ventions for the state.
The delegate convention is to meetat Fargo May 18, and will select eightdelegates to the Republican nationalconvention at Chicago. The nominat-ing convention will be held at GrandForks July 20.
The fact that the county conventionsare charged with the duty of selectingtwo sets of delegates—one to each con-vention—it is believed, will complicatematters somewhat, for the candidatesfor state officers will in some instancesconflict with the ambitions of menwho would represent their state in thenational convention. There are fiercefights in some of the counties, but it issaid that the delegate convention willbe a quiet affair. The delegates fromeach judicial district will caucus andwill present the names of favorite sonsto the state convention for ratificationas delegates to Chicago. Both SenatorsHansbrough and McCumber are saidto be willingto head their state dele-gation to Chicago, but it is claimed bythose opposed to the plan that unlessthey shall be the choice of their ownjudicial districts they will not be call-ed upon to go.
Senator Hansbrough is said to beelated by his judicial district —the Sec-ond —as a delegate, but Senator Mc-Cumber is unfortunate in having afight in his home district, and it isdoubtful if he is chosen. Dr. H. M.Wheeler, of Grand Forks, has beenagreed upon to represent the GrandForks district at the national conven-tion. There are eight judicial dis-tricts in the state, and North Dakotais entitled to just that number of dele-gates in the national convention.

After some minutes had been con-sumed in an effort to unwind a parlia-mentary tangle as to the proper meth-od of getting the question before thehouse, the corporation attorney put anend to the discussion by ruling thatas there were not four-fifths of themembers of the body present, it wouldbe useless to attempt to take action.
