Judge Kelly Rules Expert Testi-
mOny Was Not Admissible.
Judge Kelly yesterday flied decision
in district court denying the motion of
the plaintiff for new trial. huffman
was employed to repair an elevator in
the Germania building and was injured
in the attempt, he claimed, by reason of
the incompetency of the elevator man.
In memorandum accompanying the de-
cision Judge Kelly says:
1.-THE court directed verdict for the
defendant, the correctness Of which is
challenged on the grounds, first, that it
Is not justified by the evidence, and SEQ
ond, for errors in law occurring at the
trial. Noticing these contentious in the
inverse order, the claim is the court
erred in excluding certain offers Of expert
testimony The fact Is that the plaintiff
II injured by any ones negligence 9TH
er than his own, was injured from the
negligence Of Charles Hanft then a fell
low servant with the plaintiff in defend
ants employ. For such an injury the
defendant is not in law liable unless the
plaintiff establishes that Hanft was in
competent for the duties assigned him
and was known to be incompetent by the
defendant.
There is involved In this case no oc-
cult question of science like medical sur
ordinary mortals are supposed not to be
conversant. There is here no intricate
or difficult question of skill in operating
complicated machinery. This elevator
moved by hydraulic pressure. Shifting
lever from right to left or vice versa
sent it up or down. What is most need
ed to operate 1t with reasonable safety is
some practice, a pair of hands, common
sense, good eyesight and steady nerves.
In my opinion this was not case for
expert testimony. In any event, the pro-
posed questions involved the main Issue
and were incompetent.
ION the other question whether the evil
dence warranted the direction of YER
dict it is unnecessary to repeat what
said from the bench. can only say that
after carefully reading the record I can
see no reason to change the, ruling. One
act of negligence does not tend to prove

COLD STORAGE PLANT EXEMPT
COURT, DECIDES AN INTER-
ESTING POINT
Rules That "A System of RefrIgera-
ton Does Not Become "A Portion
of Realty which Is Held Subject
to Mortgage.

Associate Justice Buck yesterday hand
ed down a decision In the supreme court
affirming the order of the Ramsey
county district court in the case of the
Northwest Mutual Life Insurance COM
pany VS.. William George
1t is held that a movable plant for
refrigeration in cold storage building
does not become a part of the building,
subject to the mortgage on the property
held by the life insurance company, al
though in placing the plant in the build
ing, certain portions of a stationary plant
in the building at the time it was mort
gagged, had to be removed.
The court finds from the evidence that
If the new plant was removed, another
could be placed in the building, and
that therefore the building is worth no
less for cold storage purposes than It
would have been had the changes not
been made.
The judgment of the lower court Is
affirmed Following is the syllabus:
The Northwest Mutual Life Insurance
Company, appellant, VS.. William George
ct al. respondents.
A building. subject to a mortgage as
part of the real estate, being constructed
and used for cold storage purposes, the
natural system of refrigeration being in
use, the owner OF nlOrCSdSOf IN possess
sion made a contract Ito which the mort
gage was not a partly, with n. by which
the latter was to put and did put into the
building for an agreed price of over $12,
OOO, a plant or apparatus for a system Of
artificial refrigeration, the same to re-
main the personal property of H. and the
title not to pass until paid for. In put
ting in the new apparatus the drip pans
and cold air pipes used IN connection with
the old natural system of refrigeration
We're removed and certain ether minor
changes made in the building. All the
apparatus pertaining to the new artificial
system of refrigeration can be removed
without material injury to the building,
building cannot be used for cold storage
purposes without putting in another ap-
paratus for artificial refrigerati ton or re-
storing the old natural system. The lat
ter could be done at cost of $1,709 or
$1,000. But 1.-The artificial systems of re-
frtgeration are more satisfactory than
the natural system and are coming into
general use to the exclusion of the nat
ural system formerly in use In the build
ing. If the present apparatus should be
taken out the building would be in con-
dition for putting in another system, or
with necessary changes ,the extent of
which does not appear, any other me-
chanicaI system for refrigeratng
In view Of these facts it does not ap-
pear, and there is no finding, that If the
present apparatus should be removed the
building would be worth any less for cold
storage purposes than it would have been
the natural system remained intact The
apparatus has not been paid for.
Held, that the trial court was right in
holding as between the mortgages and
refrigeration did not become a part Of
the realty or subject to the lien of the
mortgage but might be removed. Judg-
ment affirmed Buck, ].

1t Is gathered from the Minnesotans

OF 6ryan' with whom he had been on in
innate terms, as to political sentiments
Tor several years prior to the Chicago
convention Of 1885. D. Blethen hoped TO

of steam on Cob Blethen rushed into
the vortex, only to have several ice-cold
showers sl dashed into his expansive
1ront1spiece, He found no comfort what
ever In Mr., Bryan and turned his atten.
ton to the meeting of silver men which
represented about as many states as
We're. represented in the Democrat flo
meeting. Here he found a regular Alger-
I1dnna variety or trouble for his mis-.
sion, for the silver men were generally
as strongly against imperialism as for
their pet policy. The national commit
tee Itself was anu-imperialist almost to
a man. In fact the only exception at
all is said TO be National Committeeman
White, Of California, who was not pres

silver men drew up their tender of CO,
operation with and confidence In the
Democratic national committee, which
was rendered by committee of one
from each state, Mr.. BIethen being the

But the final Knockout came at the
Auditorium meeting when Mr.. Bryan
made his presentation Of the anti-im-

thusiasttcly as the rest. At the end II

ASKS DAMAGES FOR FOOT.
Albert SeIvig Sues Two Railroads
for $25, 900 Damages.

Albert Selvig yesterday commenced an
action in district court against the re-
ceivers Of the Wisconsin Central rail-
way and the Chicago, st. Paul, Minneapo-
lis & Omaha TO recover for personal in
juries. The plaintiff alleges that the
lines Of the two defendant roads inter-
sect at New Richmond, but that the
safeguards named by the Wisconsin law
were not provided. On April IT, 1899, he
alleges that he caught his foot between
the guard rail and the main rail and as
result lost his right foot because a
Wisconsin Central train happened along
about that time. He says the disability
will be permanent, that he was only %
years old at the time of the accident and
earning SIS per month. He asks for $25.-
coo damages from each Of the defendants.
