DISORDER IN UTOPIA
Its Dream-LiIxe Existance RudeIy
Ratified by n Fight

A three-cornered fight at the Utopia
flats last evening was responsible for
the arrest of three residents of the
apartment house, on the charge Of
disorderly conduct George Carroll.
0. B. Barrett and S. McPiney were
concerned in the scrap and were taken
to the central police station by officer
Ben MoOrse. Barrett evidently re-
ceiVed the toughest treatment, as his
face was bruised and contained the
imprint of a mans teeth, which he
claimed had been left on his cheek
by Carroll. Two fingers of Barret's
left hand were also badly bitten. Each
of the men gave bail and Barrett had
his wounds dressed by DR.. Charles
Dohm. The participants in the row
are all plumbers. According to Bar
ret's story he and Carroll have been
unfriendly for some time and he claims
that Carroll broke into his room short
ly after he returned from his place OF
business last evening and attacked him
without provocation. Barrett claims
that his assailant had a knife and that
in attempting to keep him from using
the weapon he was bitten by the en-
ragged man. Carroll tells a different
story and alleges that McPiney and
Barrel forcibly entered his room and
assaulted him, and that he used his
knife, but acted simply in self-defense

GAVE HIM A TUSSEL.
Mrs. Walsh, of Tenth Street, En-
counters q burglar

That the police have not yet captured
all of the burglars who appear to have
aIIllcted themselves upon this city was
evidenced shortly before IL o'clock Satur
Gay night, when Mrs. J. Walsh. of 25
East Tenth street, INTERRUPTED one OF
the night workers in her house and
gave him battle in an adjoining alley
alter he had succeeded in getting out.
The house stands on an alley in the
center Of the block and it was through
a window into the basement that the
burglar erected an entrance Mrs
Walsh had gone into the basement to
arrange the furnace for the might.
when she spied a mans form and
started toward him. Evidently not
expecting such move the house
breaker was somewhat disconnected
and made break for the window. Mrs.
Walsh then ran up stairs and out of
the house In time to catch the man
just leaving the window. Not know
ing but that he had been through the.
house she grappled with him and
called loudly for help. The man tried
to loosen the Woman's grasp but she
chung tenaciously' to him. Mrs. Walsf's
cries finally brought several neighbors
to her assistance, and when the thief
saw them coming he threw her Violent
ly to the ground with a string of oaths
and escaped over back fence. Mrs
WalSh's arm and thumb were badly
Sprained by the rough usage of the
burglar but with the exception of a
severe nervous fright after the affair
was over, she was otherwise uninjured
Though but half a block from Tenth
and Wabasha street and comparatively
early in the evening, no policeman APP
peared to hear her calls for help, and
she was left alone to bear the results
Of her rather hazardous interception of
the thief

FIRE UNDERWRITERS THIS
MORNING.
HERE TO CONSIDER LOCAL RATES.
Cfty's Desire for u Reduction to tho

Under Consideration.

rived In st. Paul yesterday and put
up at the Ryan, registering the names

and G. 8. Gilbert st. Paul people

connection with the st. Paul Fire ana
Marine company. The other gentle
men are simply known through the
organization which they represent.
That IS Commission No. g. w. J. LIT
tleJohn Is the chairman OF the giant
organization which directs the fire in
surance business of the West.
The present visit of the commission
has been anticipated by the local III
surance men for some time. 1t was
planned for three or four weeks ago
out some OF the mem bers were unable
to come at that time The present
visit is one in which the people of st.
Paul who buy fire insurance are inter-
ested. There are several matters OF
interest which the commission is here
to consider but most of these concern
the commission and the local board
only.
One matter in which the entire pub
lie is interested, however, will be talk
ed over. That is the question of put
ting the st. Paul rates back whers
they were previously to 1898. The re-
cent agitation for reduction in rates
has been called to the attention of the
commission by the local agents. Then
the fire record was In line for reduc-
ton because 1t was made at a time
When the losses in ST. Paul for this
year were comparatively light. Since
that time, however, the elevator fire
has eaten up $4,000 of the profits and
the Ryan annex fire will call for the
payment of about 100000 more. These
reduce the years business materially
Still with these fires 1T is not regarded
as disastrous year.
But 1t may put a different face on
the years business and whether or
not it will change the probable action
of the commission remains to be seem.
A meeting of the local board of under
writer's has been called for today when
the subject will be discussed 1t is
probable that if any action is taken It
may not be done until the commission
returns to Chicago.
An effort was made to see a number
Of the commission but early in the
evening, according to the last informa-
ton of the Ryan staff, the gentlemen
were all out and late in the evening,
according to the same information,
they had all put their lights out at
8 o'clock"

A FOOLISH RuMnR-

The confirmation yesterday Of Rob-

sets at rest foolish rumor which has
prevailed for some time past, to the
effect that the senate would hold up
all recent appointments until after the
4th-of March. 1t was supposed that this
would be accomplished by combina-
ton Of Republicans and disaffected
Democrats. The latter would find in
it sweet revenge upon Mr.. Cleve-

1t Is beautiful dream that of imagining
the coming American as characterized by
only the best qualities of all the peoples who
compose his diversified ancestry.
Mrs. DR.. DeLoss Love followed in
an address upon the best manner of
honoring the memories of the Pilgrim
Fathers. Mrs. Love said that there
must have been magic in the call for
the topic, as it seemed as If the spirit Of
Priscilla herself had been called down
amongst the guests. It was largely
a puritanical sense of duty and love
which had called the guests together.
1t was one Of the Pilgrim fathers
greatest characteristics, was their
loyalty to their principles. Mrs. Love
was great admirer Of the pilgrims.
She wittilly remarked that she was
sorry she could not say she was a
Priscilla, but she could not, as she only
came from Boston In citing the char
acteristics of the puritans, Mrs Love
said the attributes of the forefathers
were love of God, love of principle and
love Of law, all Of which had been
stones in the foundation of the govern
ment. They loved liberty. but so do
the anarchists. But the liberty which
the pilgrims loved was a liberty to
which all the people could say yes. be-
fore it could become law
