A EUSTtS NOVELTY.
The Mayor Forces Two Sa-
loonkeepeps to Pay an
Englishman $3.50.
They Pay for a Swindle Per-
petrated by Others in
Their Places.
The Situation Among the
Banks Assuming a Very
Cheerful Aspect.
Other Events Of Yesterday
Put in Readable Shape
for the Globe.

Thomas Davis and E. H. Cummings,
who were tried in the police court yes
terday OH the charge of SWindling w. j.
Blackmore out of $3.50 in a dice game,
were discharged. Blackmore will to-
day get his money back, however.
Gordon and Flynn will pay it. The re-
suit was brought about by the deter
mined stand taken by the mayor in re-
lation to the proprietors Of the saloons
where the sWindle was perpetrated.
The dice sharps were introduced
to their victims in n. G. Gordon's
saloon and the fleeing process was
completed in T. Flynn's saloon. Cor
don claims that he was absent at the
time and knew nothing of the matter
till later. Mr.. Flynn saw part of the
dice-throwing at his place and ordered
the men to stop. They did so and he
went down cellar TO attend to some
business there, and it was then that
Blackmore lost his money, of which fact
Flynn was ignorant until the next day.
These facts no one disputes, but the
mayor holds that saloon proprietor is
responsible for what takes place in his
saloon, and so he called the two pro-
prietOrS before him yesterday after
noon after the alleged swindlers were
discharged, and gave them the
alternative of paying the En-
gliShman his money or having
their licenses revoked. The saloon
keepers chose the former. Flynn gave
the mayor check for 1926 last evening
and Gordon will pay over like amount
today. Mr.. EustiS said this method of
dealing with the saloons is precedent
which he will follow hereafter. 1t is
new departure in city government so
far as Minneapolis is concerned, nothing
like it having been attempted before.
Mr.. Flynn said last evening that he
thinks the mayor is right in the position
he has taken, though it is little hard
on himself. He ordered the men to
stop their gambling in his place as soon
as he found out what was gong on, and
supposed that they had obeyed, as they
left the counter and he saw nothing
more of them.

INSURANCE TOO LOW.
Such Is the Opinion of the Presi-
dent of the Underwriters.

SuCn IS the opinion Oh tne freSi-
dent of the Underwriters.
NEW YORK, May 18.--The twenty
seventh annual meeting of the National
Board of Underwriters was held this
morning. President d. W. c. Skilton,
of the Phoenix Fire Insurance company,
of Hartford, Conn.,, occupied the chair
and delivered the annual address. He
said that they were gathered for their
annual conference at a critical time in
American underwriting TO review the
history of years business closed, and
to determine, If possible, upon plan of
action that would establish their bust
ness again upon lines OF prosperity.
The president said that twelve COM
panies had joined the board during the
year. making present membership OF
eignty-two. The president declared
that in view of the experiences of last
year he was convinced of the necessity
of an increase in the average rate of in
Surance.
The executive committees report
viewed with concern the vast increase
of the fire loss in the country in 1892.
1t was estimated at S151, sic, 092, an in
crease over 1891, when the fire loss was
unprecedented. The losses since Jan.
l, 1893, have gone on at the same rapid
pace. In connection with this report
the members of the board>said that they
feared incendlarism was increasing, and
the arson committee moved that its
powers be so extended that it could in
crease the offers of reward for the ar
rest and conviction Of incendlaries. The
chief point of interest in the report of
the committee Oh legislation and taxa
ton was the report of the bill passed in
Tennessee, requiring all insurance COM
panies to pay their policy holders the
full amount of the loss sus-
tanned by them, provided the
amount did not exceed the amount
of insurance expressed in the
policy. and that all stipulations in such
policies to the contrary were and should
be null and void. The board Endorsed
the bill. One of the most important
topics considered at the meeting was
tine faulty construction OF buildings.
Another topic which called forth con-
siderable discussion was the amount OF
percentages to be paid to agents, and
the number of days that credit would
be given to them. 1t was recommended
by the board that commissions should
not run higher than Is per cent.

OPERATORS OUT.

A Continual Wedding Going On
in Western Union Offices.
According to the statement of West
ern Union official, the discharge of
three operators within the past few
days was not due, as has been stated.
to their having belonged to trades
union organization. Referring to the
subject this afternoon, Assist. Supt.
Levin said that he could not see how
their discharge could be construed in
that way, especially when they both
dlsclalmed having anything to do with
the unions. He said they were let out
because their work was not satisfactory,
and that changes are being made right
along the same as in any other business.
In spite of the above statement great
deal OF uneasiness is manifested among
the operators, as some of the men who
nave been let out are away up in their
business, and no good reason is given
t0r their discharge. 1t is also stated
that In the case of the men recently let
out they were prevented from securing
positions in railroad office in this city,
the reason, it is alleged. being that they
were on the Western Union black list.
Within the past two months fifteen men
nave been let out in St. Paul and Mime
apOlis.

Results at the First of the Series
Of Field Days.
The state university campus pre-
scented an animated spectacle yesterday
afternoon. The athletes of the college
were out i'll force, each bent upon capt
uring as many of the field day events
as possible, and each determined, if
possible, to attain one of the coveted
places upon the athletic team which
will represent the University of Min
nesota i'll the field day contest in Chi
cago.
Each contestant is required to attain
a certain record in each event; other
wise he is thrown out. The best event
of the afternoon was the 100-yard dash
by Rogers and Storey, who did some
very pretty sprinting, considering the
Wretched condition of the track.
Both men came within the re-
Quired eleven seconds, thereby
qualifying. The cinder track is unfin-
ished, which accounts for its heavy con-
dition. In the 22O hurdle, Harding and
(. W. Taylor made the distance III less
than the required 81 seconds, and with
Rogers and Storey were the only ones
to qualify. The next trial field day Will
be May %, when it is hoped that with
the advantages Of further practice
more of the contestants will come
within the required record.

SORE ON NELSON.
Editor Pease Thinks the Governor
Acted Shabbily,

Acted Shabbily.
Editor Pease, of the Anoka Union,
was in the city yesterday, and took oc-
casion while here to impale Governor
Nelson on very long and sharp sword
for the governors relation to the Chi
cago dedication of the Minnesota state
building. Mr.. Pease thinks that the
governor has given the editors OF the
state slap In the face. and, indirectly,
the state, which all will not soon forget
and not readily forgive. Editor Pease
says that the governor had plenty of
time to talk about the king of Norway,
but had no time to join with the people
OF Minnesota in dedication in cooper
alton with the editors.
There are others who comment almost
as bitterly as does the Anoka Repub-
llcan editor, and they are disposed to
blame the state commission in the mat
ter, and charge that it had too much re-
gard for the wishes of the state officers
all through from the time that the addI-
tlonal appropriation bill was considered
up TO the present, and not enough for
the people who have furnished them the
means of the success which all hope for
the state at the fair.
