THE LAW rs Isi:PUGNANT
Novel Point RAISED by Attorney
Cock in Saloon Cases

COGk IN Saloon Cases.
Among the numerous SalOonkeepers
arraigned yesterday afternoon in the
municipal court Tor violation OF the
saloon ordinance were Rudd L.
Zahnen. prOprietors of the Buffet"
This is one uf the many complaints
sworn out by j. A. Olsen. CRUSADER"
AT the time OF the arraignment Fred
G. Cook, Budd q Zahnen's attorney.
moved that the complaint he dismissed
upon new and technical grounds. He
alleged that the city ordinance is in
valid because 1t is repusnant 10 the
state law, in this, that the ordinance
allows all saloons to be open for bust
ness between the hours OF 5 O'clock in
the morning and II O'clock at night,
Sundays and election days excepted,
while the state law declares that all
saloons are required to claSe their
places of business (hOtelS eXcepted) at
II o'clock at night and keep closed until
O'Clock IN the murning-Sunuays and
election days excepted. Such ordinance
being repugnant 10 the state law, it is
therefore invalid.
He further declared chaper IL of
the General Statutes of Minnesota of
1878, and ali legislation thereafter in
this state, whether by legislative enact
ments, amendments, or by city ordi
naHceS, to be unconstitutional. This
declaration Was made upon the ground
that in the exception given to hotels, as
stated. sucn is class legislation and
therefore invalid.
Judge Holt heard the argument and
decided that, i'll view of the fact that
Mr.. Cook is about to raise the same
questions i'll the supreme court in de-
tense of the cases of The State VS..
UConnor and The State VS.. Bauman, he
would deny the motion pending Inose
decisions. The trial was set for April Is.

They Make Life q Burden for the

The Crusaders are making lite bur.
den for the administration. They make

nesses. Crusader Purple is certainly a
hustler, and the police courts treasury
will be fattened considerably by his
thrift. Yesterday afternoon twenty-one
saloonkeepers were arraigned. Thomas
McAlpin. John g. Weissman and Will
lam Gratjan pleaded guilty and were
fined s25 each, and the hearing of the
other cases was set as follows: p. j.
McGrath, April 20; A. Olson, M. Micko.
las and Ole Lodgord, April 10. at 10
a. M; kristina Mattson. April 10, at 10
a. IN. p. B. Ellis was discharged. as it
was shown that he was partner of
Thomas McAlpin in the place at Is
North First street, and there was no ap-
pearance on the part of Daniel E. Dow,
as service was had upon the wrong
party by mistake. j. A. Olson was the
complainant in the second lot of cases,
which alleged the offense to have been
committed OH April l. OF these, Joseph
Plant, Thomas Lyons and j. A. Feilzer
pleaded guilty and paih the fine of S25
each. Frederick Page showed that he
and Joseph Plant were partners. and
the case against him was dismissed, the
fine paid by Plant going for both.
A number OF the cases were post
pnntd, among them the one against
Dell Rudd and Peter Zahnen, of the
Buffet" Fred Cook. the attorney, APP
pear. for them and asked to have the
case dismissed on the grounds of legal
IechRlcSlitIeS and that the ordinance
under Which the arrests were made is
unconstitutional in that it conflicts with
the state laws. The case was not dis
missed, but continued to April Is.

PENSION FRAUDS.

Up at Duluth on tho 10th.
The Uuited States grand jury has
completed its work in the pension fraud
cases. and the stage of action will here
after taken to Dubuque. where the Van
Leuven cases will be tried before long.
The fact that Tennessee pension at
torEey has just been SENT up for twenty
eight years for daliying with the pension
regulations, and that pension attorneys
in other parts of the country are in very
unrnyiab!e positions in connection with
these matters, tends to attract the at.

ments which were returned there last
December. and is now engaged in vari-
Gus other important details preliminary
to the trial.
This Borst case was resumed before
Judge Nelson yesterday. In which The
accused, prominent attorney of Fulda,
is charged with sending an obscene let
ter through the mails
Prof. Z. Z. Curtiss, of this city, testi-
fed To the effect that he thought the
writing of the letter cOrresponded to
that of Mr.. Borst, although it was dis
guised. District Attorney Hay an
nOunced that the testimony was all in.
and the defense Immediately moved for
dismissal on the ground that there
was not sufficient evidence to convict,
and also that the letter could not be
called the publication of obscene mat
ter. even if it had been written by the
defendant, which was deuied. The mo-
ton was overruled by the court. and
the defense introduced its testimony.
The witness OF the afternoon was w. X.
Miiliken. all expert penman from st.
Paul, who gave testimony, in substance,
opposite TO that given by Prof. Curtiss.

Building Trades Lockout Did Not
Materialize.
CHICAGO. April IL. The general
lockout of the Chicago building trades
workmen set for today proved grand
failure. Instead of the 10000 men
who the contractors claimed would be
thrown out of employment, less than
300 were affected. A new organization
of boss builders known as the Central
Building league announced Sc feral
days ago that, owing 10 the numerous
strikes, the employers would take
decided stand against organized labor,
and today was set for lockout in
which it was claimed practically every
contractor and boss builder in this city
would participate. But the contractors
who advocated the general lockout
were not in the majority. There was
not unanimity among them. 1t is said
that the most strenuous proposers of
the lockout are firms that have but
little work on hand. The men vino
have big jobs well under way hesitated
about stopping their business OIL this
day so we'll suited to progress. Many
of them did not stop and will not stop
work. There Is serious division aud
disagreement i'll the Central Building
league, in which the lockout idea orig.
mated. Some of the wealthiest con-
tractors and most extensive employers
OF skilled labor are opposed to the lock-.
out, and will not be bound by the re-,
solution adopted i'll the. league by
small majority. By these men who do
RI ly1..
the building industry it is stated that
the leaders of the lockout firms like
BaggOt d Co., Bethel & Co., and Fuller
IL Bro, had but a few men employed
and that most Of their jobs are nearly
completed, and that they could in this l
condition OF offars enter upon struggle
with the trades unions at a minimum Off
loss and Inconvenience to themselves
and their business. Contractors who
have large unfinished contracts on
hand will not allow themselves to be.
used by the other faction. g,
There was little or no indication of
the lockout about the city, as work OH
nearly all new buildings was still going
OH.
At the Office OF the Central Building
George A. Huller, Neagle d Co., w. II.
Behel and other firms were closed. but
at labor headquarters it was denied that
these shops were closed as the result
OF the lockout, it being claimed that the
firms had discharged their men because
OF lack of work. Labor leaders were
Jubilant tonight, claiming victory for
organized labor. and many prominent
contractors, asserted to have said that
no such movement at this time of the
year could succeed.

ELEVATOR MEN PROTEST.
The Hatch Anti.Option Bill
Doesn't Suit Them,

The Hatch Anti. Option Bill
Doesn't Suit Them.
The Northwestern Elevator company
has sent a letter 10 the Minnesota dele
CATION i'll congress condemnaiory of the
Hatch bill. It says, among other
things:
Under the provisions of this bill, if
we should sell $4,000 bushels of wheat
TO arrive from our country elevators,
and ship 1t with the greatest care, if the
cars, OIL arrival at terminal points,
failed to hold the grades which were
expected. or there is not exactly the
amount of wheat in the cars which was
sold. then we are fined for a condition
of things which no human foresight and
Judgment can guard against. Wheat
must be sold for future delivery, be-
cause it is an utter impossibility for
railways TO move the property as fast as
1t Is delivered and purchased in the
country.
Another difficulty that would arise
from any obstruction to the free pppor-
tunity to carry wheat forward from one
month to another, would be that in the
fall the month Of May is the only month
that elevator companies can Use Tor
selling their wheat for future deliv-
cries, because by custom the month of
May has become established as the pur-
chasing ana selling month for future
delivery in the fall OF the year.
Now, if all the elevator companies
were to sell their full purchases for
May delivery, it would be impossible
for the railways to move all the prop
erty forward to be delivered the 1st of
May without compelling the elevator
companies TO ship their wheat into ter
minals and hold it, paying terminal
charges, at heavy loss 10 themselves:
and it is further true that the terminal
elevators would not have capacity for
doing the business.
MANY other reasons might be named
why any interference with the handling
of this business as it is now conducted
would work an injury to the grain in
terests and the producer of grain in the
Northwest"
