SUING FOR EXPO REALTY
JUDGE POND HEARS ARGUMENTS
ON THOMAS II. JANNEY'S
CLAIM THERETO
FAILURE TO KEEP CONTRACT

Not Made as Provided In
the Deeds to the
Expo.
FAILURE TO KEEP CoNTRAC.
PL(EE'S MINNEAPOLIS OFFICE.
y 20 WASHINGTON AK SOUTH.

Judge Pond was engaged yesterday in
hearing the arguments on the questions
of law involV ed in the case of the City
of Minneapolis against Thomas B. Jan
ney, to recover possession of land donat-
ed by the city to the exposition in 1867
and 1891.
The property involved was recently
bought by Mr.. Janney and 1t includes
what was known as the Enterprise mar
ket site on Central avenue and five val
liable lots.
According to the terms Of the donation
the Industrial Exposition company was
to hold twenty-five expositions in twenty
four years, and its failure to do so and
extensive litigation in which the enter
prise became involved is recent history.
The city now claims that the deeds of
conveyance were unauthorized, and that
the exposition never had any right or
title to the lands in controversy, as the
pretended COnveyances were not author
lied by the council. The land is esti-
mated to be worth about SAC, Co.,

STRIKE NAY Be SETTLED
SUBURBAN LINE OF ST. LOUIS
REACHES AN AGREEMENT WITH
ITS EMPLOYEES
TRANSIT COMPANY HOLDS OUT
Failure to Settle Differences Was
Due to the Refusal of the Com
pany to Recognize the
Union.

ST. LOUIS, Mo, May I.-There were
important developments IN the street car
strike situation today. At a conference
held between the officials CT the Subu b.
Railway company, the only m in
st. Louis not controlled BY the ST. L-u.s
Transit company, and on which a strike
was inaugurated ten days prior to that
declared on the transit system, and the
officials and employees Of that ROAD, an
amicable adjustment was effected. ana
the men will return to work tomorrow
morning.
On just what basis the strike was set
tied could not be learned at $50 O'Clock
tonight, but it can be positively stated
that the union received full recognition
In many quarters it is figured that the
settlement of the strike on the suburban
presages an adjustment of the dificu ii -
between the transit company and its 1900
striking employees in the near future In
fact, it was learned tonight that at a con-
ference held this afternoon of the officials
of the transit company, the chairman Of
the employees grievance committee and
some of the members of TIE citizens com
mittee, matters were adjusting themse yes
nicely for a settlement ofisthe Difficult les,
when a member of the citizens committee
injected into the proceedings a proposition
of such a characters THAI the discussion
was brought to a close. With matters no
nearer a settlement sthany had hereto core
existed. II is thought however, that a
future meeting Of the Same parties W II
result in establshing5a a basis for the set
tement of the strike
SUBURBAN CARS RUNNING.
The suburban company had no difficulty
in maintaing a thorough8 Stunning sched-
ule today, and no serious demonstrations
on that line occurred
On the transit company's system there
were a number of demonstra tons more
noisy than otherwise. In one instance the
police We're obliged to charge on q crowd
of strike sympathizers to disperse it, and
in number of instances used the fiat side
of their sabers in accomplishing thei-
purpose. No casualties OF a seriJus ma
ture were reported during the day.
Later in the afternoon rumors Of an
emphatic nature as to a settlement Of the
transit company's strike received curren-
cy. So emphatic were they that the aft
ernoon papers came out with extra edi-
tions making positive statements that the
strike on this system had been amicably
settled. Such was not the. case, however,
as detailed above.
FIFTY SHOTS FIRED.
Nearly fifty shots We're fired in an en-
counter between guards and wire. cutters
near Brentwood, on the Meremac division
of the suburban road today. The fight
took place a quarter of q mile from the
power house at Brentwood. Four men
guarding the property of the suburban
saw two men on foot and one on h-rse-
back moving along the car tracks. One
began climbing a wooden trolley pole, car
rying a pair of shears. The guards open
ed fire at the climber, who slid to the
ground. The three men returned the shots
and fed. with more bullets following
them.

1t was evident that these men were in

false. However, Sheriff Johnson and De-

Republican Stability.

The comparison in the cam.
paign between republican stability
and democratic stiffness is made
every day more and more apparent.
The democratic paramount issue
changes every time the candidate
crosses a new state line. He pur.
sues each one like phantom of a
lost hope. Governor Roosevelt
forcibly states the republican posi-
ton in the following epigram
which will pursue Mr.. Bryan to
the end of the campaign. He
says: 1--WE are for the gold standard
here, we are for the gold standard
In Denver and in the Rocky mount
aims. Fortunately our issues do
not wear thin anywhere in the
country"
The policies of republicanism are
not question of geographical dis
tribution. They stand for the
good Of the whole country. The
prosperity that has come has been
for the whole country. In answer
ing the assertion that Bryan made
that prosperity was due 10 provi.
dence and not the republican party

Roosevelt has given the people
another epigram that will stick
during the campaign. He said:
II am perfectly willing to admit
that there was fusion between
providence aud the republican
party. The democracy has fused
with about everything else, but 1t
has never yet managed to make
connections with providence"
In the issues of the campaign
the republicans stand for some.
thing definite and certain. DEM
ocracy stands for heterogeneous
mass united in a desperate strug.
gle for votes. To place Bryan in
power would be to plunge the
country into season of doubt and
uncertainty. Republication has
proven itself and the conservative
people of the nation have decided
to let we'll enough alone.
