Low INTEREST BONDS
Favored by the Board OF Trade-a
Way Out Of the Dilemma.

Favored by the Board Of Trade-A
Way Out Of the Dilemma.
At the board of trade meeting yester-
day the chief subject of discussion was
the present financial depression and
lack of work in local circles, and the
best means of affording relief.
Among those present were Hon. S. NJ.
Owen. Hon. c. NJ. Loring, Rev. S. w.
Sample and j. II. Pierce.
The subject was brought before the
meeting by resolutions introduced by
Rev. 5. w. Sample, calling for low-in-
tereSt short-time bonds for the indus
trial benefit, and recommending the
board OF trade to appoint committee
of five members to confer with members
OF other commercial bodies. After a
lengthy discussion it was decided that
S250.000 21a per cent bonds at four years
would be the most favorable. Mr..
Samples resolutions were adopted, after
being amended so as to read: 1.-The
wages to be paid for city Improvements,
for which said bonds are to be issued,
shall be at such moderate rate as to give
employment to the largest practical
number. and shall be paid only to duly
registered Minneapolis menu
Mr.. Sample was of the opinion that
81 per day wages be paid by the city,
but that the work of each day be done
by TWO shifts of men. who shall work III
periods of gve hours. members of each
shift receiving 81 for their work. This
scheme. it is held, would give men all
opportunity to attend to their odd jobs
at the same time and employ larger
number.
Resolutions were introduced by Mr..
Stockwell asking that land owners of
the city be requested to grant the use
of unoccupied lands for the purpose of
cultivating vegetables to sustain the
unemployed during the coming summer
aud coming winter. 1t ives referred to
the committee On miscellaneous.
A well-considered address was then
delivered by G. NJ. Loriug, who re-
viewed the financial situation of the
present time, and comparisons were
made with the hurries of the past
thlrty-five years, dating back from 1857.
j. l.. Wickes, of the committe on mis-
cellaneous. read his report of the In
yestgation concerning the automatic
fire sprinkler, and introduced resolu-
tons asking that the law requiring spe-
cial meters for the sprinklers be abol-
ished, and that certain penalties be
fixed for the tapping of said pipes. The
committee On railroads asked for fur.

Considerable indignation prevails
among mechanics and others from the
fact that the stone to be used in build
ing the two new school houses is not
dressed in MiDneapoliG
The stone cutting" said Aid. Jen-
nings to-day, sis being done outside the
city, while there are stone cutters who
have lived in Minneapolis for twenty
years who are at present out OF employ
ment. We think it is an injustice" said
he, ITO have the work done i'll Kasota
or Mankato when there are good
citizens in Minneapolis idle and who
would gladly do the work. They
may be getting it done little cheaper,
but it is not nearly as good as it would
be if it were done by the experienced
the outside is very small, certainly not
enough to take the work away from
those who need it as badly as some of
the people of Minneapolis do at the
present time"
w. K. Worden, who was with Aid.
Jennings, emphasized what the latter
said and added that while there was not
great amount of work in connection
with the job, at the same time it would
give employment to ten or twelve men
for six weeks or two months. and that is
quite a consideration IN these times.
President a. L. Ankeny, of tue board
of education. stated that the contracts
for the erection of the two new school
buildings were awarded to Elick LuUd
and to w. y. Clark. The board did not
let the contracts for the work. this
being left to the contractors. who sublet
the contracts. Hence, said Mr.. Aukeny.
the board is not responsible tor any
discrimination which may have been
shown to outside labor. The president
stated further that he regretted that
any criticism should have arisen, and
that it was the desire of the board to
give local men all the work possible.

FOR STEALING $780, 0O.-
THE CHARGE ON WHICH W. S. STREET.

UNDER WAY AT LAST.

The Work of Impaneling the Jury
Was Begun Yesterday-Five of
Them Were Secured - The
Prospective Jurymen Subject
ed TO Rigid ExaminatIons-Ap
parentIy Not Much Interest.
The Streeter case Is finally under way,
though it is likely the taking of evi.
dence will not begin until late this after.
noon or tomorrow morning. The work
of impaneling the jury to sit in the
emDeZzlement trial was begun yester-
day morning. The first Indictment
against the Guaranty Loan official, in
Volving the charge of stealing $270,000
Oh various dates between Dec. 81, 1892.
and Jan. %, 1883, is what the trial is
based on. In spite of the fact that the
amount of money involved is a very
large one, and the expectation of SEN
sational developments, there appears to
be but little interest taken in the Trial.
The attendance at the court room was
small, prospective jurymen for the
most part filling the room. On request
of County Attorney Nye three triers,
IN the persons of c. E. Bond, l.. f. E.
Peterson and W. r. Morris, were APP
pointed. Mr.. Nye then asked Judge
Russell to order the jury TO be kept
together. He had special reasons for
asking this to be done. Judge Russell
said he would give his decision on the
matter later in the day. No further
alluSion was made to it, however, and
to the disappointment of the county
attorney the jurors, when court adj
]uurned, were allowed to go their vari-
Gus ways.
The attorneys in the case are County
Attorney Nye and Assistant County
Attorney Peterson for the state, Judge
Shaw and w. A. Lancaster tor the de-
tense. The many witnesses in the case
were dismissed until this morning.
MIR. Streeter was present, and sat be
hind his attorneys. He was pale and
thin, and watched the proceedings mar
rowly.
Several score of men were examined
during the day, but when court ad-
iourned the number of jurors selected
was but five. The examination OH both
sides is severe, and in most of the cases
the challenges are pretty nearly used
up. The attorneys want jurors who
and these are few and far between.
The jury roster up 10 date stands as
follows:
w. j. Havel, carpenter. living at SOC
West Lake street.
John F. Rollins, brother of Aid. r Oh
Inns, of the Twelfth ward, living in

Samuel e. Howe, gardener, living
in Brooklyn center.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, May 2s.-"We,
the jury, find the defendants. Francis
A. Coffin and Percival B. Coffin, guilty
as charged in all the counts of the in
dlctment. and Albert S. Reed guilty as
charged in the counts from 81 to 46 in-
clusive."
These three defendants have been on
trial for wrecking the Indianapolis n a.
tlonal bank, which institution suspend
ca last July. Ex-Attorney General
Miller Immediately moved new trial,
and Federal Judge Baker will hear ar
gnments Monday next. AS Foreman
Joseph A. Trotter handed the sealed
verdict to Clerk Butler the countenances
OF the three defendants gave no sign of
emotion or excited interest. The In.
annapolis Cabinet company, with
branches in the East and in Loneon,
has, through the men just convicted, Sc
cured from the indianapolis National
bank about S375.000 on practically
worthless paper. The jury was out
eighteen hours-from 3o'cIock Saturday
afternoon until 3 o'clock Sunday morn
ing. The verdict was, in the public
mind, anticipated, except Ill the case of
Reed. who, though considered techni-
cally guilty, had in his favor extenu~
ating circumstances, which, it was
thought. might lead the jury to acquit
him. His position with the cabinet COM
paAy, which so mercilessly and system
atically looted the bank, was purely
clerical, and for SO comparatively a
short time that his ignorance of the
methods was not regarded as wholly
improbable.
The defendants were required to fur
nish bond as follows: A. S. Reed, s., 900
(old bond satisfactory; Francis A. Cof-
Tin. S25600; Percival +. Coffin. $12, 500.
Foreman Trotter said that the Jury
was unanimous for the conviction of
the Collins from the first. The first bal
lot showed for Reed eight for conviction
and four for acquittal. After three bal
lots had been taken, and eleven votes
declared Reed guilty. Juror James
Good. who had held out against Reeds
conviction, gave in. Five years was
