DISAPPOINTMENT REFUSED,
Remaining Sugar Trust Wffnessc,
Must Stand Trial.


Judge Cole declined today TO ;-rant a
continuance OF the untried sugar trust
cases until after the United States Supreme
Court has disposed of the appeal of Mr.
Elyerton r Chapman, whose conviction
as contumacious witness was affirmed
by the Court of Appeals several days ago.
That court allowed Mr.. CHAIRMAN a writ of
error to the Supreme Court, and counsel
for the remaining alleged contumacious
witnesses, Messrs. Shriver, Edwards, Ma
cartney, Havencyer, Searles and Edwards,
desired that the remaining cases be post
poned until after the question raised by
Mr.. ChapmanS case should be DISPOSED of
by the Supreme Court.
In disposing of the matter today Judge
Cole remarked that as the Court CT Ap-
pealS has sustained the law under which
the cases were brought he could not well
ignore that fact, and it was quite proper
that the remaining cases should not be
continued to await the action of the Su-
preme Court in the Chapman case. Last
summer he had refused to postpone cases
under the Edmunds act, and only yesterday
mad declined to continue the untried oleo-
margarine cases. He therefore thought
that the district attorney should he all
lowed to call the remaining cases some
time next month.
District Attorney Birney then said he
expected to first try the case against Mr..
Mccartney, and the other cases inme-
diatey thereafter.
Mr.. Nathaniel Wilson, associated with
ex-senator Edmunds in the cases. stated
he would confer with him before Monday
neXt, when he thought some day next
month could be agreed upon.

know and keep in mind that

We haven't tried to put prices
down by handling the sort of

IN SO many stores-we think you
would rather pay fair price
when you're sure of getting a
good article-and we are sell
ing the best grades of children's
clothing for less than you ever
paid before. When we say the
best grades we mean the sort
that fits rights made and
trimmed right-and wears a
long time. Our children's bust

Yesterday afternoon there was consider
able excitement caused by personal alter
cation at the corner of st. Asaph and King
streets between Postmaster Carlin and VIM.
G. Simpson, in which Mr.. Simpson is said
to have struck Mr.. Carlin. The affair grew
out of a dispute over the building of Mr.
Carln's house, on Washington street. A
warrant for Mr.. Simpson was the outcome
of the affair, and last night the mayor was
prepared to try the case. Mr. Carin failed
to appear, however, and the charge was dis
missed.

ures, have been caught in the McKin-
ley cyclone that is sweeping over the
whole country.
The inception and carrying out OF an
enterprise of this kind would have
been quite Ineligible on the part of
one of the newspapers that are oppos-
ing the candidacy of Senator Davis;
but since the Pioneer Press in it's ed
itorial columns urges that the state
delegation should consist of Davis men,
and in its news columns offers such evil
dence as these coupons may be consid-
cred to furnish of the Mckinley boom,
it's real purpose and desire Is mys-
terry to those on the outside. It's own
explanation Of the discrepancy in the
vote is as interesting as the vote
scheme itself. 1t still claims to de-
sire favorable action on Senator Davis
candidacy, and, referring to this vote,
mark that there would be more votes
for Davis If there were not so many
for Mckinley and Reed. The whole
performance, which has reflected so
seriously at the same time upon the
sincerity of the papers support of
Davis and upon it's circulation state
ments, is one that puzzles greatly those
Republicans in Minnesota who are not
familiar with the influences at work
below the surface Of things in that
party.

INSURANCE MEN MEET.
Commission No. stirs Up a Rumpus
Unwittingly.

Messrs. Fisher and Blackwell, of Chi.
cago, representing that mysterious and
powerful insurance organization. Conn
mission No. 3, were in st. Paul vester-
oay; tuesday the, Minneapolis agents
PAID court to them, but refused to tell
VINO they were. or what they were
oolng. AS matter of fact theY talked
over several important insurance mai
tefs with the Minnesota and Dakota
board of underwriters, the most i'm
portant or which was the Winona com
pact. Thls they decided to abolish, and
place the business under control of the
minneapolis and st. Paul offices.
Wnen they came to st. Paul yester-
day they met the local board, and took
up matters of interest to that organiza-
tlon. The question Of solicitors was
discussed, and it was decided to allow
the st. Paul Fire and Marine company
ntteen solicitors in st. Paul, and each
local agent one solicitor. Other minor
matters We're considered and disposed
or Inc question of making st. Paul
an excepted city was brought I'D, but
the visitors shook their heads very en-
phatlcaily, although they promised a
number of concessions or considera-
tlons, II things were conducted on a.
harmonious basis.
Ihe question OF a new compact agreement
was taken up, and a report received from
the committee appointed at the last meet
ing to draw up amendments TO the agreement
to enable the members of the board to sat
isfactorily meet the competition of the two
non-board concerns without demoralizng the
business. Things were going along swim
mingly, and the meeting was about to adopt
the old compact of 1888, which provided for
the manager to give power to any agent to
meet all non-board rates where proofs could
be submitted that such rates were being
made, when one Of the Chicago gentlemen
upset the harmony and everything else by
happening to mention that such was now
being done by the manager with one local
firm.
While some OF the members had suspected
that such was the case for some time, as
published in the G o before the annual
meeting, the members of the board were not
prepared to hear an official acknowledgment
of the fact. John Rogers w. b. Wright and
others spoke of the unfairness of such ac-
tion having the sanction of the commission.
The explanation that the reason the COM
mission was so favored was because one of the
non-board concerns had grown out of the par
ticular Office favored, and was familiar with
its business, didn't seem to be regarded as
sufficient excuse for the discrimination. The
result Of it was that the compact was not
accepted last night, and it may be some time
before a new agreement is adopted. While
the two concerns outside of the board only
write about l per cent of the business done
in st. Paul, they seem to cause about 100
per cent of the little veXations that havO
arisen.

The people Of st. Paul are in some
danger of letting escape them an op-

the question "Does Shakespeare Be-

A BLOW AT SENATOR DAVIS

Some Of the country press has come
to the opinion that the severes+
blow aimed at the effort to secure
the Minnesota delegation to ST Touis
for Senator Davis has been struck nv
the Pioneer Press in it's UNIQUE vot-
ing contest. BY publishing a coupon
each day, on which the voter cou,d
record his presidential preference and
send it to the Office, it has given the
best opportunity possible to the en-
emles Of Senator Davis to put them
selves on record. 1t has also afforded
an avenue of expression for the senti-
ment in favor Of Mr. Mckinley which
would otherwise have remained a silent
element in the contest The result of
the voting thus far has been to record
about five ballots for Mr.. MCKINLEY
against every one for Senator Davis.
while the coupons sent in on the last
day Of the contest number 1f6 for the
Ohio man, as against only eight for the
Minnesota senator. The total vote ND
to date shows that the somewhat less
than 1000 readers of the Pioneer Press
