liant company has received no news
from the United Press, but has relied
for it's night news service entirely
upon the Associated Press. On Sept.

by the Associated Press with the Jour
nal Printing company to furnish that
corporation with the night news re-
ports for publication in the Minneapo-
lis Times which, it is alleged, was and

legged to have been made without the
agreement of the Minnesota Tribune
company, and is claimed to be a viola
ton of the contract. In the United
States circuit court the application for
a petition was denied The issue pre-
sented in the pleadings were two:
First-Did complainant company's
contract prohibit the Associated Press
from entering into a contract with the

Second-Was the Minneapolis Times

existing contracts with the Western
Associated Press or the United Press

NEWSPAPER FIGHT.
A. p. and Tribune-Journal Case on
Appeal.

"
In the United States circuit court of
appeals yesterday Justice Brewer and
Judges Sanborn, Thayer and Riner
heard arguments in the case of the
Minnesota Tribune company against
the Associated Press, appeal from the
federal circuit court of the district of
Minnesota, and took it under advise
ment.
This is a suit wherein appellant COM
pany, as plaintiff endeavors through
Injunction to restrain the Associated
Press from serving it's night news re-
port to the Journal Printing company,
of Minneapolis, for publication in the
Minneapolis Times, a morning paper
The Minnesota Tribune company is
owner of the Minneapolis Tribune, and
the Associated Press furnishes it with
news together with other papers in
the United States. A contract made
by appellant company with the Asso-
ciated Press on March 2, 1898, is the
basis for the injunction proceedings.
Under this contract, the Associated
Press shall, for a period Of ninety
years, sell and convey to the Mime
sofa Tribune company it's night news
report for stipulated payments. The
appellant company is required to fur
n;sh the Associated Press with local
news within radius Of sixty miles
from said city (Minneapolis), except
the city of st. Paul." and the Mime
apolis Tribune company is prohibited
from furnishing news to or receiving
news from any person or corporation

TRANSFER OF LICENSES.

Question VIII be Tested ii Author
tiles Permit 1t.
Contestants of the right of the city
to transfer saloon licenses took the
issue into the municipal court yester-
day, when, in order to make a test
case, a warrant was secured for the
arrest Of John P. Brown, conducting
a saloon at 230 East Seventh street on
a license alleged to have been original
ly issued to G. Sellrup, of SIS Missis-
sippi street. The warrant was issued
by Clerk of the Municipal Court Con-
roy upon his own responsibility, hav-
ing been refused by Corporation Attor-
ney Markham and County Attorney
Anderson.
This initiative step in the important
matter was taken as the result of a
visit to the police court of w l.. Will
son and David Morgan. These gentle
men set forth the attitude of the coun-
ty attorney and the corporation attor-
rey, and then cited Clerk Conroy TO
a statute making It lawful for the
clerk of the municipal court to issue
a warrant, where any citizen appears
and offers tc make oath to violation
of the law Clerk Cenroy decided to
issue the warrant. The information
was sworn to by w. L. Wilson, who
charged that Brown had sold intoXi-
eating liquor to Henry A Campbell
without having a license permitting
him to conduct a liquor business.
Clerk Conroy said later that he had
issued the warrant on his own respoa-
sibility, without any consultation with
the judges of the court In view OF
JUDGE Orr'S recent decision that the
city council had no right to transfer
licenses he held that no other course
was open to him

After due deliberation and considera-
BILE discussion, the state board of equal
ization yesterday fixed the assessment
of the railroad transportation and
equipment companies doing business
in the state.
The state auditor submitted a tabu-
lated statement showing the gross
earnings done by these companies in
the state the past year, and the special
committee to which this matter had
been referred recommended that this
be used as a basis on which to make
the levy. The law provides that a q
percent tax shall be imposed, and to
make the companies pay an amount
equal in proportion to the assessment
Of the railroad companies 6 per cent

presented the following statement,
showing their earnings and the as

ALEXANDER H. DAY, A PROMISING
YOUNG PHYSICIAN, DIES OF
HEART DISEASE,
HIS END CAME SUDDENLY.
HE PASSED AWAY IN THE OFFICE
OF A BROTHER PHYSI-
CLAN.
WAS A GRADUATE OF MGILL.
Had Only Practiced Five Years, but
Was Well Thought Of-Or-
ganic Heart Trouble.

DIR. Alexander r. Day, one of the
prominent younger physicians Of the
city, was found dead in the office of
DR.. E. A. Borchardt, 679 East Third
street, at 1880 o'clock last evening. The
discovery was made by DR.. Borchardt,
who found the body lying on the f1opr
near an office chair, the dead man
having evidently been occupying the
chair and fallen to the floor when
stricken. Death was due to rganic
heart disease Coroner Nelson viewed
the body and decided an inquest un-
necessary.
Dr. Day had been dead probably two
hours when found. He was last seen
about O'Clock, when he entered his
brother physicians office, evidently
paying visit and deciding to await tie
return of DR.. Borchardt. Death was
doubtless instantaneous. The deceased
had been under the treatment of DR.. G.
J. Meade for heart disease for the last
two years.
DR.. Day was twenty-nine years of
age, being the eldest of twelve chill
dren and the son of P. J. Day, of
Guelph, Ont. He graduated with high
honors from McGill College of Medi-
cine at Montreal, Canada, coming to
st. Paul five years ago, where he has
since practiced his profession. He was
highly regarded in the local medical
profession as practitioner of merit
and promised a successful career. His
office was in the Lowry arcade, where,
not later than Thursday, DR.. Meade
attended him in a professional capac-
ity. He was at that time in his usual
health and in excellent spirits, show
ing no signs Of his impending death.
DR.. Day was unmarried The body was
removed to the undertaking rooms Of
Mccarthy & Donnelly, where it will re-
main until the dead mans father, to
whom Dr. Meade telegraphed last
night, is heard from, when the remains
will undoubtedly be taken to Guelph
for burial.

CLAIMS HE HOLDS A LIEN.
Action by simeon RockefelIe
Against IT, e. Murphy ct Al.

Patrick. E. Murphy, ct al, are defen-
dants in a suit instituted in the dis
trict court yesterday by Simeon Rookie
feller to forecIose ION property de-
scribed as lot 24 block 8, of Rogers ad-
dition to ST. Paul. The allegations in
the complaint are that on July 13, 1883,
Mary E. Murphy and plaintiff were
equal owners Of this property; that
Mary E. Murphy died on July 20, 1895,
leaving surviving her husband, Pat
rick E. Murphy and four children;
that while plaintiff shared the owner
ship to the property with Mrs. Murphy
he paid taxes and assessments upon
the whole Of the lot. On March IA,
1896, the Murphy heirs begun suit
against plaintiff for partitionment
and the court found that Rockefeller
was the owner of one-half of the prop
erty and had paid S13S0S on the other
half, which was lien to that amount
on the property. 1t is alleged that the
Murphys have never paid off the lien
and now plaintiff seeks to foreclose.

LIKE ST. PAUL'S HOSPITAL.
Minneapolis officials Determine to
Have One Too.

The people of Minneapolis want a
new city hospital and have succeeded In
getting the matter so far under way
that a committee from the city council
came over to st. Paul yesterday to get
a few pointers on the proper ccnstruc-
ton of an up-to-date institution. The
committee was met at the city hospital
by DR.. A. B. Ancker, who extended
the members all the courtesies in his
power. They spent something more
than an hour in investigating the ar
rangement of the structure, DR.. Ancker
acting as guide and instructor. Every
where marked difference was observed
in the system of ventilation, arrange
mont of the wards and other features
in the building. The Minneapolis peo-
pie expressed themselves as we'll pleas

there are probably some improvements.

This is expected to bring in an in
come to the state Of $4,000 per annum
at the start, and may increase from
year to year. The report of the COM
mittee was adopted by the board, and
notices will be sent out to all the
foregoing companies, that they may be
heard on Monday, Oct. 4, the day Oh
which, the law states, the assessment
must be fixed.
AS was prophesied in the G | b e,
the board rescinded it's action of rails
ing the assessment of stocks and
bonds, other than bank stocks, in Ram
sey county, 70 per cent. The increase
was cut down to SO 1-3 per cent.
The board paid considerable atten-
ton to item "a, shares of bank Stock
yesterday, but, owing to incomplete in
formation at hand, final action on this,
was postponed until Monday. The
board decided to make a general re-
duction in the assessment of banks,
from 60 to so per cent of the valuations
ofestock, but the usual exemption of 10
per cent on the capital stock was
eliminated. A great many changes
will be made in the valuations, and
these will largely be in the form Of
slight reductions, but some decided
raises are contemplated in few
cases, notably at Graceville, where the
assessment of the bank will be i'll
creased 92 per cent.
In the meantime, the matter of
stocks and merchandise is being con-
sdered, and considerable difficulty
will be experienced in getting this ad-
justed to suit everybody-each mer-
chant thinks he is being taxed out of
proportion. AS an illustration of this,
a member of the board received a let
ter yesterday from the assessor at
Northfield, in which the writer stated
that the merchants of his city were
assessed much higher in proportion to
those at Faribault, and he suggested
that Mortified be reduced or Farl-
bault raised. The latter proposition
will probably catch the fancy of the
board
The board returned yesterday morn
ing from Duluth and report a very
pleasant little junket. They visited

May be "senatorv Dare Next

A. N Dare editor cf the Elk River Star
News, was a caller at the capitol yesterday,
dropping in on the boys to talk politics.
Mr.. Dare has served four years in the state
legislature as a member of the lower house,
and he now modestly confesses that he would
not be surprised if he received the nomination
for the senate from his district next year.
In speaking of the available timber for the
Republican nomination for governor, he said
the sentiment out that way was for Judge
Collins, of st. Cloud.
