THOMPSON AND HIS WIFE.
She Will Bring a Counter Action
for Divorce.

A. P. Thompson, the fat cigar man,
created an unusual stir around the
West hotel Tuesday evening. Some
time ago Thompson brought an action
for divorce on the ground of adultery.
The case has not yet been tried. Tues
day Mrs. Thompson came up from Chi
cagO and stopped at the West hotel. 1t
is said that Thompson and she met and
were about to effect a reconciliation
that is, Thompson wanted to become
recOnciled to her again. They separated
at 10 O'Clock. She went to her room.
Thompson returned an hour later,
knocke at her door. gained admittanee
and there found Henry HAldi S,
a travelling man. Thompson rOared.
He notified Manager OBrien of having
found Adds in that room. Then he
telegraphed for the patrol wagon. Adds
said that he was in Mrs. ThOmpsOn's
room for the purpose of advising her to
refuse to become reconeiled to her hus-
band. Nothing improper seemed to
have occurred. Manager O'Brien de-
clined to interfere. The patrol wagon
went away empty. Mrs. Thompson re-
turned to Chicago yesterday. But that
was not all.
Mrs. Thompson evidently came to
Minneapolis on business. The first
place she visited after registering at the
hotel was the court house. There she
was occupied all the afternoon with the
papers in the divorce suit begun by
her husband. She took them all and
perused them carefully, making notes
from them. She intends to fight the ac-

IT is CLEAN BUSTED.
At Last the Minneapolis I'm
derWriters' Union Has
Died.
Once Again the First Ward
Park Matter Has Been
Postponed.
To-Day the Corner Stone Of
e.Court House Is to
Be Laid.
Death Of a Man From Too
Much Quaekery Is Al
legged.

The Minneapolis Underwriters union
is a thing of the past. 1t died yester-
day-at least it took such a chill that its
death from galloping consumption is
question of but few days.
The underwriters union has been in
existence a little over a year. Its Lire
has been a stormy one. 1t has had quar-
rels with the public and with the fire
department. and internecine strife has
troubled its existence. Its famous in
vestigation of the Lumber Exchange fire
and the split in its ranks over that
affair are well remembered. Its death
is the OutgrOwth of the charges
preferred few weeks ago against
William B. Leach. manager of the union.
When the union was organized 1t was
designed to control the insurance bust
ness. to be a sort of trust, as it were,
for the purpose OF keeping up rates.
But insurance agents will quarrel. Leach
was accused some time ago of allowing
certain agents to write insurance at
less than the authorized rate. The
charges were presented to meeting of
the board and referred to a committee
for investigation. The committee re-
ported Yesterday. Leach was eXOner-
ated. 1t was held that the action taken
by him was in accordance with the in
structionS of the rating committee.
That action was the starting point, al
though the break did not come until
few minutes later.
When the union was incorporated it
was organized To do business in Henne-
pin county alone. Outside the county
it had no jurisdiction. Yesterday a
representative of w. A. Barnes " Co.
introduced a resolution inStructing all
members of the Minneapolis union to
respect, when doing business outside of
Hennepin county. the rates established
thITe by any local union. That reso-
luton was intended to help the
St. Paul agents. Its opponents
say that it would virtually
place all Minneapolis agents under the
control of the Chicago commission.
They further urged that the resolution
would not be legal. as the Minneapolis
union has no jurisdiction outside of
Hennepin county, and that, it being viz
tnalIy an amendment 20 the cOnstitu-
ton, it should lay over for month and
then be passed by go per cent vote OF
the union. But it passed, IA to II.
Then an enemy of the resolution moved
reconsideration. One of Barnes men,
surprising the motion to be move to
clinch the matter. seconded the motion.
1t was reconsidered. Then, on the re-
curing motion for adoption, the resO-
luton was defeated ID to Z. Barnes u
Co. Immediately filed notice of with
drawal from the association. By to-
night the underwriters union will be
no more. The insured will be benefited
by lower rates of Insurance.
