The plumbing at the poor farm is now
under consideration by Judge Harrison, who

Co. 1t has been charged that the contract
price was much higher than it should have
been, owing 10 combine among the mem
bers of the Master Plumbers association.
The parties stipulated that this question
should not be raised adm that the only issue
should be the one Of the reasonable value Of
the materials furnished and the value of the
work.
A number OF local plumbers testified that
the prices charged by Wilkins & Co. were
the prevailing ones, and in some cases were
lower, the charges for freight apparently not
being included. Tomorrow the league will
have it's turn.
The original bids for doing the plumbing
work at the poor farm we're as follows: J. E..

MOODY'S SIDE OFT
He Explains Why Truman's Plumb
ing Made Trouble.

There Is another side to the story lead
ing up to the conviction of B. H. Tru-
man in the municipal court yesterday for
violation of water department
ordinance, according to Registrar Moody
Of the water department. Mr.. Moody in
sists that the facts are considerably at
variance with the evidence at the trial.
The real situation, he says, is that Tru-
man not only changed the plumbing at the
house in question without authority from
the department, but changed 1t in such a
way as to leave the water running con-
stantly with the purpose of preventing the
pipes from freezing. In both respects he
was violating an ordinance. It is posi-
lively necessary, Mr.. Moody points out,
for the department. to know the condition
of the plumbing In every place in the
city, and where would the department find
itself, he asks, If people were free 20
put in repairs or change the character of
the plumbing whenever they saw fit? Not
only did Truman not have a permit, he
explains, but he is not a licensed plumber
and has no business doing such work.
There are several handy men of the
same sort picking up odd jobs about town
constantly, Mr.. Moody says, and the water
department will go after them every time
it can get evidence to make out a case.

TWILL MAKE WORK
County Auditors Analyze the Pro-
posed New Tax Law.
THEY WANT HELP IF IT PASSES
A Committee Authorized to Take Up
the Matter With the Leg
islature.

Nothing had been planned for the dele
gates to the county auditors convention
this morning except a chance to talk
and so they talked. There were many ex-
pressions of surprise over the big attend
ance in view Of the allurements and
temptations placed in their way last
night, but all were on hand and prepared
to talk without previous preparation on
any feature Of the present tax laws or
the proposed tax code.
u. The following officers were chosen with
out contest: President. I. N. Tcmpkins,
Redwood county; vice president, Hugh r.
Scott, HenneDin; secretary, E. J. Miller,
Big, Stone: treasurer, l.. M. Stevens.

AS a permanent committee to confer
with and advise with the public examiner.

son; Odin Halden, st. Louis; J. T. Brooks,
Renville; E. P. Wright, Douglas; R. L.

The committee named yesterday to as
certain the additional duties imposed on
the county auditors by the new tax code,
reported fourteen new or enlarged duties
provide for in the proposed measure. It
was the opinion of all present that on this
showing of extra work the association
would be justified In presenting the mat
ter of providing for sufficient clerical
forces in the county auditors Offices It
was stated that the new tax code if adopt
ed would increase the work of the auditor
fully 100 per cent and greatly increase
his responsibility. While the members
did not desire the erroneous impression to
get abroad that the association was or
ganized to increase, salaries 1t was held
that the committee should for the sake of
good service impress on the legislature
the absolute necessity of providing for an
increase in clerical forces. It was as
sumed that the committee would mention
the matter Of salaries without special in
struction.
A resolution that the tax books should
be turned over to the county treasurer
on the first Monday in January instead
Of on the 18th was adopted.
A resolution requesting the state to
make an Immediate appropriation for the
work of the public examiner was adopted.
It was expressed as the sense of the
association that the collection of interest
and penalties on delinquent taxes should
be turned into the county revenue FUND
had always been his opinion.
The association adjourned sine die
shortly after IL o'clock.

ITS SIXTH SCORCHING
The Boston Block Has Seen Many
BlaZes Before.

Blazes Before.
Yesterdays was the sixth fire in the
Boston block. Fourteen years ago the
building was completely Quilted and the
loss was almost total. There were few
incipient and easily quenched blazes be-
tween that time and Feb. 4, 1899, when
another fire burned off the roof and de-
stroyed the entire upper story. This was
caused by electric wires. The fire was
most persistent and obstinate, and burned
fiercely for about four hours. 1t was
necessary to pour an unusual amount OF
water on the building and this completely
drenched the offices below, in which the
damage was large. few weeks after this
fire another started from the electr1c
wires in the engraving-rooms OF the
Bramblett & Beygeh company, on the fifth
floor. The apartments occupied by this
firm were Quilted During the same year,
1899, there were two other fires, both
originating from the imperfect insulation
of electric wires. One was in a closet IN
the front Of the building, on the second
floor. and was extinguished before 1T
spread The other was in room 312, on the
third floor, in the rear, and did consldera-
BILE damAge. Six weeks ago there was
small fire between the ceiling of the base
ment over the boiler-room and the floor
above, but it's early discovery enabled
the iremen to put it out before 1t got
any Roadway.
Chief Canterbury is of the opinion that
had the fire this morning started in the
night it would have been impossible to
control it, The large amount OF frame
work next the roof would have been ex-
cellent food for the flames, and 1t doubt
less would have got a good start before
being discovered.

No | slipped from ladder and was quite
painfully injured
Several persons cut by falling glass.
Fire broke out at little after 10
O'Clock yesterday in the roof Of the
Boston block. The blaze started above
vacant office on the seventh floor, sup
posedly from an imperfectly insulated
electric light wire, and got a good start
before it was discoveries George Burr,
the elevator man, first noticed smoke
issuing from the room at the front of the
building and sent in an alarm. Chief
Canterbury, who was familiar with the
construction and arrangement Of the
building, sent out call from the CEN
trail Office, and upon reaching the building
sent in a. second alarm. Extension ladders
were raised on the Hennepin avenue and
Third street sides and lines Of hose taken
up to the fifth story and then dragged up
the stairs Of the building. A chemical
hose was hauled up with rope and d.
rected onto the flames, which were just
breaking through the roof.
Owing to the height of the building 1t
was some Time D0lOre these streams cOu1u
be put in play. The dense clouds of smoke
and tongues of flame which issued from
the holes made by the fremen made it
very difficult to work on the roof. The
ceilings Of the rooms on the Third street
side were, therefore, torn out and streams
directed from beneath upon the fire which
was then burning fiercely.
An hour after the alarm was turned In,
the fire was under control. The damage
was limited to the roof and to the rooms
of the tenants on the few floors below,
which were slightly damaged by water
and falling debris.
The loss to building and incidental
losses of tenants will not exceed $4,000.
While the extension ladder was being
raised on Third street, Captain G. w. Os-
borne of Engine Company No slipped and
was painfully mi ured. He was taken to
his home at 1924 Fourth street Sc. A
skylight was knocked out by the firemen
and several persons were cut by falling
glass.
An attempt was made to use the stand
pipe at the rear of the building, but it
burst in three places. Chief Canterbury
believes that many standpipes are in
similar condition, and adds that during
the Vendome fire last week standpipes
on several of the neighboring buildings
burst when water pressure was applied.

TESTS BY STUDENTS
Senior Electrical Engineers AAeld
After Knowledge.

The senior electrical engineers at the
university are conducting several inter-
esting and valuable tests to gather ma
terial for theses required for graduation
w. J. Spence and E.. L. French are testing
the storage batteries used to light the
trains of one of the twin city Chicago
roads. E. w. Wilson and w. Nelson are
making tests upon incandescent lamps for
street lighting. Other students are max
ing comparisons Of acetylene gas and
electricity for train lighting. One test
showed Pintsch gas to give off four times
as much heat as electricity. Tests Of
this nature have been made upon the
trains of the Northern Pacific, Wisconsin
Central and Milwaukee railroads. and will
be continued as soon as warm weat Their
comes. The railroad companies cooper
ate with the students in these tests since
the tests are of large practical value to
the roads.
