IHOTORCVCLISTS TOORGANIZE CLUB

They Hope to Attain AH thePopularity of the Old Cycle

Clubs.

Not to be outdone by the hardwork-ing cyclist or the aristocratic automo-bilist, the St. Paul motorcyclists willhave a club after the most approvedmetropolitan ideas.

The motorcyclists of St. Paul havebeen summoned to a meeting at theWindsor hotel this morning to perfectthe organization for which preliminarywork has been under way for severalweek*

Criief among the promoters of theclub are Birney Bird, C. L. Egan, FredClark, T. L. Bird, Frank Hopkins andGeorge Wagner. They say the motor-cycle is rapidly growing in favor, andthat the club idea involving periodicalruns, races and all the cycle club fea-tures will have a most stimulating ef-fect both upon the present motor ridersand upon many riders, who are still un-acquainted with the joys of the pufferbikes.

There are now fifty-three motor-cyclists in St. Paul. Last year there\u25a0were only fifteen, and the enthusiastsclaim that next year will see severalhundred motors ridden in St. Paul.

REV. S. G. SMITH HASGIVEN HIS DECISION

His Congregation Expects Him to Re-turn to People's Church.

The congregation of the People'schurch will this morning learn the de-cision of the pastor, S. G. Smith, in thematter of his call to Westminsterchurch, London.

Secretary Oehler has a letter fromMr. Smith stating the pastor's finaldisposition. Because of the request ofMr. Smith, the church officials whoknow the purport of the letter declineto make it public before it is announcedin the church this morning.

The impression is, however, strongnmong the members of the church thatits founder and pastor has decided toremain with them, and that he will beback early in September to resume hiswork.

UNDERTAKER'S HORSEMAKES WILD DASH

Crashes Into Street Car and FracturesSkull, but May live.

There was a sensational end to a run-away yesterday afternoon at the cornerof Sixth and Broadway, when a horsewith the remnants of a buggy trailingbehind dashed blindly into a passingstreet car. The horse was stunned bythe crash, which broke several windowsin the car and almost lifted it from thetrucks.

The horse, which belonged to JacobRockstroh, an undertaker, was frighten-ed by an automobile at the corner ofVan Slyke court and Olive street, wherethe animal had been hitched outside ofthe German M. E. church while Mr.-Rock-stroh was within. The horse dashedmiully down Olive street, crossing Sev-enth street at a breakneck gallop, andpiungea through a board fence erectedby the asphalt crew, which is pavingEast Sixth street. The members of thecrew had a narrow escape from being run<lown by the infuriated animal. Thehorse then turned toward £>ieadwaytearving tho bbggy, which was shatteredinto fragments, beside the board fence. After striking the street car the horsefell to the ground in a quiver. Oue oftlie hones of the horse's skull above theeye had been broken, but beside manyburiaes and cuts, it was otherwise un-harmed. -A veterinary surgeon was .sum-moned by Mr; Rockstroh, and it isthought that the horse's life will be saved.

COURT IS CHECK ONCONTINGENT fill

Its Decision on County Attor-ney's Expenses Final, Says

Donahower.

First Assistant Attorney General W.J. Donahower yesterday rendered hisopinion to the public examiner on theproper construction of certain provis-ions of chapter 204 of the laws of 1903,the act which was passed at the lastsession of the legislature providing fora contingent fund for,the use of countyattorneys in the trial and preparationfor trial of criminal cases and investi-gations before the grand jury.

The questions asked by the publicexaminer were: . .

lst. Does the act contemplate thoexpenditure of this fund for expensesnot directly Incurred in the prepara-tion for trial of criminal cases and inconducting investigations before thegrand jury?

2d. Is this fund available for ex-penses incurred prior to the date ofthe passage of the act, to-wit, April14, 19C3?

Mr. Danahower replies that the plainpurpose of the act is to provide a fundto meet expenses Incurred in the con-duct of the office of county attorneynot otherwise provided for by law, andhe considers that all such expertisesmay be properiy paid cut of this fund.It would be impossible to enumeratethe different purposes for which thofund may be used, but that question isleft wholly to the discretion of thecounty attorney end the district judge,which latter officer.is required to firstapprove of the expense and then topass upon the various items beforethey are audited and paid by .tha dis-bursing officers of the county.

Ifthe district judge approves the or-

ders of the county attorney upon astatement made by him of the variousitems of expense, Mr. Donahowerthinks the same should be audited andpaid by the county treasurer. This dis-cretion of the county attorney and thedistrict judge cannot be reviewed bythe disbursing officers of the county.

On this point Mr. Donahower says:"I do not understand that a failure ofthe county attorney to expose everysingle individual item would furnishany basis for a refusal of countyofficers to pay the account. In manycases public policy requires that thevarious items of expenditure be notspecificially set out and described.The district judge and the county at-torney are required by this law to de-termine the extent of the itemization.I do not believe, however, that the actcontemplates that those officers shallpass claims as a whole without item ordescription."

The fund was not created, Mr. Don-ahower continues, to meet the inci-dental expenses of the office, such asstationery, etc., but only such extraor-dinary expenses of this kind as arenecessary in the preparation for trialof criminal cases and in investigationbefore the grand jury not otherwiseprovided by law.

As to the time from which the fundbecame available Mr. Donahower says:"Anyexpense incurred prior to the timj»the act went into effect is, in my judg-ment, not such an expense or charge asmay lawfully be paid under the provis-ions of this act. The words in the act,'during the year 1903,' taken in con-nection with the various provisions ofthe law, must be construed to meanthat portion of the year 1903 followingthe date of the approval of- the act—April 14, 1903."

SAYS CASS LAKE WILLKEEP LAND OFFICE

Congressman Buckman Has No Fearsof the Bemidji Boom.

Transfer of the new Cass Lake landoffice to Bemidji seema to Congress-man Buckman such a remote possibil-ity that he says he declines to worryabout it. Mr. Buckman was at theMerchants yesterday. Speaking of thaland office controversy he said:

"We are not worrying about the lossof our Cass Lake land office. Severalstrenuous efforts to take the officeaway from the Sixth district have beenmade and with uniform lack of success.A rehearing in the matter will onlystrengthen our case. The location ofthe land office at Cass Lake was in thebest interest of the people and will bestresult in subserving public policy. Ina word, the controversy is the people'sinterests against private commercialinterests.

"Yes, a rehearing has been ordered,but a rehearing has no terrors for us.We have the office established by orderof the president. We have the officerscommissioned by an order from thesame source, and after one rehearinghad been ordered. I have no reason tobelieve the president will reverse him-self. And, anyhow, I have never takenmuch stock in this talk of future po-litical punishment. The people are sat-isfied and so am I."
