The attorney for the defense tried to
get the witnesses to describe the de-

WITTICH WARTS DAMAGES.
Thinks a Rival Meat Dealers Meth
DDS Are ActionabIe.

Martin Witch, the proprietor of a
butcher shop at Robies and State
streets, dissents from the propo etion
that competition is the life sof trade.
on the contrary, he declares that the
competition in which he alleges
Charles Franz, a rival dealer in. meats
at No 100 Concord street, to have en-
gagged. has greatly injured his
business, causing him to lose many
customers and to have suffered in his
reputation for honest, straightfor-
ward dealings, which he had built up
by years of commercial relations with
the people of West st. Paul For this
reason Mr.. Witch thinks he is en-
titled to about 81, 600 of his competi-
tors profits, and has brought suit for
this amount in essdistrict court on
the ground of libel
meat at Wittich's place some time ago,
by Meat Inspector Jansen. The fact
of the seizure was published at the
time and accredited Witch with hav-
ing had number Of dressed hogs ex-
posed for sale which were unfit for
consumption. subsequently Mr.. Wit
itch secured a retraetfOn in the paper
which published the account of the
seizure, on the ground that only one
animal in his place HAD been condemns
ed and that not ON account of disease,
but because the carcass had become
somewhat bruised IN transportation. 1t
was claimed that the diseased meat
had been seized at another butcher
shop. Later, and notwithstanding the
retraction, 1T is alleged that Butcher
Franz posted a copy of the article re-
citing the original seizure clipped from
the "VolkszeitungsH in his place of
business, and gleefully pointed out it's
allegations of diseased meat, ETC., to
every purchaser who entered his shop.
The complaint in the action sets forth
that Butcher Franz knew the state
ments of the article to be false, but
that he exposed it to the public and
called attention to it with the sole
purpose of injuring the plaintiff in
his business. A number Of people are
alleged to have Immediately stopped
dealing with Witch after having

former declares that nothing short Of

ASsEMBLYMAN KIRKE PROPOSES
TO SATISFY BOTH BROADWAY
AND ROBERT STREET.

HIS LOOP WlLLRs AtFieuRR 8.
THE NEW HALEt EXTENDING ON
THIRD AND FIFiTH bTREETs to-
BROADWAY.
PRESENT LOOP tn THE OTHER END.
He Thinks Tfiis wdd,utd at once AZ.
-commodate Botls Wholesalers
and Retailers Alike.

Assemblyman Kirke has devised an
other loop scheme as a substitute for
the proposition to extend the Robert
street loop. to Broadway Should it he
adopted, the wholesale district would
be accommodated without removing or
interfering with the Robert street loop.
This is Mr.. Kirke's compromise propo-
sition: ar
All cars are to be, rundown Fifth
street as at present. but the cars now
operated around the Robert Street 1oop
will continue down Fifth. street to
Broadway. But on reaching Broadway.
instead of running up that street to
Seventh or Eighth street the proposed
plan is to run the cars down to Third
street, thence up Third street to- Robert
street, and thence north on Robert
street to Eighth street over the line of
the present Robert street loop. and
thence up Eighth to Wabasha street.
ut seems to me- said Assemblyman
Kirke yesterday, "that such Ioop
ought to do justice to both the retail
ers and jobbers. The retail stores in
the vicinity of Sixthsand Robert streets
would still remain as accessible by
street railway lines as they are now.
and the wholesale district would be
provided with the street car facilities
that the jobbers are s& desirous Of Sc
curing. Furthermore, the proposed
compromise will, if carried into effect,
fulfill what is really the greatest need
of all, and that is to provide. proper
street car facilities ir1' the immediate
vicinity of the union depot Every car
now operated around the Robert street
loop would pass the corner of Third
and Sibley streets, which is less than
a block from the union depot
Mr.. Kirke added that it was not the
Intention to run the Grand avenue cars
as far as Eighth street, on Robert,
but after operating them around
the Broadway loop and up Third street
to Robert and thence to Fifth street,
the plan is to run them up Fifth street
to Wabasha, and thence to Seventh
street. -
1t is likely that Mr. Kirke will submit
an ordinance at the next melting Of the
assembly, embodying his compromise
proposition Mr.. Kirke and many 9TH
ers are of the opinion that if the prop
osition is rejected by the advocates OF
the pending Broadway loop ordinance,
it will indicate that there are other in
terests at stake than those of the public
and city at large. 5,

in paying the salaries of ex-Commis-
sioner of Public Works Copeland and
his clerks. There is now something
less than $1,000 in the fund, and after
the ex-commissioner and his office
force have drawn their November
salaries there will be but a trife over
$500 in the fund
