had refused to adopt these resolutions,
and had referred them back to the
committee on foreign commerce. The
fact that the chairman of that commit
tee is the American representative of a
German steamship line would seem to
obviate the necessity of explaining why
the same resolutions were again re-
ported at the meeting of Jan. 8, and
the fact that the resolutions were
adopted on their second hearing indi-
Gates that the efforts put forth in the
meantime to secure an extra large
attendance of importers and foreign
steamship agents were not altogether
unsuccessful. Before taking final ac-
ton on the resolutions given above
the chamber voted down the follow
ing:
Resolved, That this body recommend
reciprocity in our trade with foreign
countries where it can be done without
injuring any of our own products or
manufactures.
Thus the New York Chamber of
Commerce defines its attitude as exact

At it's session of January the New

BOOM ISLAND TAXES
A Nice Question Is Involved In
Their Collection.
SUIT AGAINST THE WIS. CENTRAL
The Company Holds That the Land
Was Railroad Property
When Assessed. f

1t will soon be necessary for the district
court to determine when real estate be-
comes railroad property and is exempted
from general taxes by the gross earnings
tax law. Suit has been brought by Hen
nepin county against the Wisconsin Gen.
trail railway for the taxes Of 1900 on Boom
island, the land occupied by the new Hen
nepin avenue yards, the right-of-Way on
Nicollet island and small bits here and
there in northeast Minneapolis, opposite
Boom island. The taxes on these differ
ent tracts amount to over $4,000.
The Wisconsin Central in it's answer
alleges that by the payment of a per
cent gross earnings tax for the year In
question it was exempted from the pay
ment of all local taxes and assessments
The various tracts came under the con-
troll of the Wisconsin Central in January,
1900, by virtue of a ninety-nine-year
lease from the Great Northern. The
work Of excavating for the freight house
and the freight yards at Hennepin ave-
nue., on the improvements on Boom island
and the preliminary work on the tracks,
began at once.
According to the position taken by the
railroad company all the land in question
became railway property and devoted to
railway purposes as soon as the work on
the improvements began. Whether the
answer will be deemed sufficient, has not
yet been determined for some are in
clined to the theory that land cannot be
held to be used for railway purposes un
til the cars are running over it in the
ordinary course of public transportation
business. No doubt test will be made
on this case, as the amount involved will
make it worth fighting for.

An Alderman Suffers for Hitchfng
His Horse on Nicollet.
A double runaway that threatened to be
serious in its consequences occurred on Mic
ollet avenue, a few minutes before 8 o'clock
this afternoon. The animal which caused all
the excitement belongs to Dr. o. p. Suther-
land.
When the doctor came down town this noon
he violated the anti-hitching ordinance by
tying his horse to a ring in front of his
Office. A few minutes later the horse became
frightened and, breaking the strap which
held him, started on "a mad run down the
crowded avenue. He had gone but few feet
when wheel of the buggy struck rig be-
longing to Julius ]. Heinrich, in which a
young woman was sitting. This frightened
the Heinrich horse, and together the two ami
mails raced down the avenue, drivers of other
vehicles whipping up their horses to give the
run aways a clear field.
The young woman screamed, but before she
had been carried more than a block the horse
ran into the curb and tore himself loose from
the buggy overturning it in his efforts. The
young woman, however, was not hurt, al
though the rig itself was badly wrecked.
The Sutherland horse continued on the run
without further accident until he was finally
stopped at Central avenue and Second street.
and stabbed in the Ryan livery barn.
The young woman who so narrowly escaped
injury was friend of Mr. Heinrtch's coach
man. who had seen her on the street and had
offered to give her a ride" to her home.

the teacher succeeded in keeping control Of
the pupils. They were ON the top floor and
were hurriedly conducted down stairs. The
pupils in the other rooms next sent
down. Nothing was said to the occupants OF
the first floor, but they had become somewhat
excited over the sudden noise in the hall
ways. When informed that the school was on
fire, Miss Kruger, one of the teachers,
promptly tainted. She was conveyed outside
in safety and all the children escaped without
damage. It was bitterly cold outside, as the
wind was blowing a blizzard and the Their
mometer was marked recorded near the zero
point.
Several of the larger pupils returned to the
building to save their wraps, thereby caus-
ing still greater alarm to the crowd which
stood shivering outside.
The villagers were told off in relays to work
the big street pumps By prompt and deter
mined work, the fire was: prevented. from
spreading to adjoining buildings. 1t was
the men worked all the harder. Being re-
lieved every ten minutes, they were able to
