POCKETS WITHDRAW
No Longer Disturb Wong Guy-Min-
lister Wu's Visit.


Upon the service of Judge Lochren's
order enjoining the cooks union from in
terfering with the business of Wong Guys
restaurant the pickets were promptly
called off yesterday, and in COM
pliance with the order, approached no
nearer to the eating house than Nfcollet
or First avenue on Washington. The
secretary Of the cooks. union said this
morning that the union would keep after
the other restaurants until like orders
had been issued by the court. He added:
five are restrained from boycotting the
other restaurants so far as distributing cards
in their immediate neighborhood is con-
cerned we will find other means to continue
our war against these restaurants, and we
will certainly win out in the end. The way
their business has fallen off since we Went
after them is proof of that. We will make
1t finish fight If it takes all summer.
Ye Sing, proprietor Of the Canton res
taurant on First avenue S, said that he
would probably follow Wong Guys exam
pie, now that "a precedent has been es-
tablished, and ask for an injunction
against the union unless it gives up the
fight.
The secretary of the union said he had
received assurances that Minister WI
Ting fang would not come to Mime
apolis as the guest of Rawlins post be-
cause of the Chinese troubles here. 1T
is good thing for him that he isn't COM
ing said the secretary. The laboring
element here Is worked up over this
Chinese proposition, and it would be de-
cidedly unpleasant if Minister WI should
become the center OF a riot. At the same
time, his visit would have hurt our
canse, by nYoking sympathy for the pro-
prietprs Of the Chinese, restaurants"

MORE BIG MlT1ING NOT SMITHS WAY
General Defended Against Charges
Of Atrocious Behavior.
MRS. CHAs. A. HALLS VIEW
Mrs. Hall Is His sister-in-Law and
Points to the Generals
Record.

Mrs. Charles A. Hall. a sister-in-law
of General Jacob Smith, now in the
Philippines, does not believe the reports
circulated in this country, in which Gen
eral Smith is accused of being responsible
for many atrocities said to have been COM
mitted against the natives. Mrs. Hall has
not heard from General Smith for about
four weeks; and the generals last letter
was written prior to Sthe Waller court
martial. However, she is firmly persuad-
ed that. some mistake has been made, and
is anxiously awaiting further news from
the islands. Said she, this morning:
General Smith is not the kind Of a man to
do the things that have. been charged against
him. He is too tender-hearted. Why, when
he was lying wounded at Shiloh he gave the
last drop of water in his canteen to a dying
Confederate soldier and went without him
self. Whoever was responsible for these
crimes against the natives must be man OF
fierce and ungoyernable temper, man who
acts upon the impulse of the moment, one
who is seasily carried away by his emo
lions. At San JUAN. when General Smith
was wounded himself, he put his regiment
through the manual of arms in order to give
them something to think about besides the
| flying bullets. That proves he is cool in
| time of danger and not excitable.
| In all his letters to the family he has said
| nothing about any abuse of the Filipinos by
| American troops, although he has frequently
told Of the indignities perpetrated by the ma,
! tlyes. Ironly. hope the general will be allowed
a court martial in order to answer these as
| pensions that have been made against him.
In his last letter General Smith said: "Tn,
Chaffee is SO well. pleased with what l, an

ANOTHER "VlKING" SUCCESS

in Demand.
Another magnificent audience greeted
the Viking" at the Lyceum Wednesday
evening. While the majority of the faces
in the boxes, loges and parquet were new
ones, there was.a goedly .sprinkling of So
ciety folk who came to have another
laugh at the funnyisms of the show. To
hear the Viking once, is, to- yearn to listen
once again to the tuneful lyrics with
which it is so plentifully interspersed
The success of an opera is more often in
Gicated by the popularity of its melodies
than anything else, provided the book is
at least fair to middlin'." With the
.Viking,' while the book is conceded to
be very clever vehicle for the music, the
songs are OF such a catchy character that
already the boys are whistling them about
the streets, and the music stores are hav-
ing many calls for the score:
the incidental Glover show" The
Glover brigade was there in earnest
and in the ladies' dressing room there
was bank of roses, carnations and tu-
lips. Fred Laramie, r. F. Bausman

among the stars who were forced to bow

ON HOSPITAL HARMONY
NORTHWESTERN LANCET SPEAKS
Minneapolis Hospital Equipment
Compared With That of
Other Cities.

Northwestern Lancet, in Its last issue
has an article on "City Hospital Har-
mony," which reads in part as follows:
The confusion and tumut which have en-
barrassed the officials Of the Minneapolis city
hospital have subsidized. DR.. Nelson has Ia
bored under many difficulties from various
sources and, in demanding his rights, has
brought order out of apparent, chaos; and he
should be allowed to further demonstrate his
views and abilities in hospital matters with
out chickering's and political interference. :,
Speaking of Minneapolis hospital as
compared with others the Lancet adds:
Other cities with on-half or one-third the
population Of Minneapolis have hospitals to
which they point with pride, while we hang
our heads in shame, and wait for the author
tiles to waken from their Rip Van Wrinkle
sleep, and rouse themselves, and accomplish
the work waiting for Them. =
The hospital for contagious diseases is still
incomplete because some one is aggrieved OF
enjoys the discomfort of the sick who are
crowded into close, dirty and unsanitarJ
hut ...
How long will it be before medical men will
follow the suggestions OF expert medical ad
vice in relation to the needs Of the sicl
and suffering?

BULLS ARE ACTIVE
Take Advantage of Conditions to
Boost Wheat.
MAY SELLS UP TO 70 IL TO-DAY
UnfavOrable Reports From Winter
Wheat Belt and Dry Weather :
in Northwest the Cause.

The bulls and bears have their fighting
clothes on these days, and have caused
some lively scenes at the Chamber OF
Commerce. For several months wheat has
been dull and neglected, and whenever
activity developed 1T was usually in the
form of declines, caused by free selling.
Ten days ago May wheat in Minneapolis
sold at $780, the lowest point touched for
the active option since July, 1901. This
morning Minneapolis May sold at 73hc
while Chicago sold to 75c. This is de-
cided turn from the continued, decline OF
the early part of the year.
The primary reason for the decline was
the prospect of heavy yield of winter
wheat in the southwest. Owing to high
prices for grains last year there was a
disposition to plant more wheat and the
acreage Of winter wheat last year was the
largest ever sown. The report of the
agricultural department, issued in De-
cember, estimated the area at $4,000, 00(
acres, 100000 acres more than last year
This made it look as if there was to be g
heavy winter wheat crop. When the win.
ter began breaking up the wheat came Out
pretty we'll, and for months everything
was favorable for the growing crop. Early
in this year Minneapolis May wheat solo

gradually until it struck the late low

SEVEN JURORS NOW
Preliminaries in the Ga1lehugh

A Third venire, of Fifty Names Is
Ordered to Fill the

+ Harvey S. Andrews became the seventh
juror in the Gallehugh murder case. being

together ninety-one citizens had been
drawn for the trial Of the case. It be-
came apparent early this morning that

cient to furnish the needed material and

HE HAD NO LICENSE
A Pedd1er's Permit Didn't sayesHfm
From Fine.

Although S. Jaffa, a Hebrew apeddler.
possessed a permit from the mayor.
he was. fined $40 in police court this
morning for peddling without license
Jaffa said that he paid IS for the per-
nit" and that he thought it sufficient to-
insure him immunity from arrest. Tho!
permit" which Jaffa had was on
printed slip, in which his name had BEEN
inserted. 1t is the same as many other
permits" issued out of the Office OF thel
mayor. For most. Of these the holders
paid money.
The system of granting permits to
peddlers is supposed to be resorted TOT
mainly in cases of deserving charity,
where the applicants are too poor to payi
the s25 a year license fee in lump or.
to pay 1t at all. 1t is explained at thei
mayors Office that when man has paid
enough installments to equal the license
fee, the money is turned over to the,
treasurer and regular license issued.
All receipts from this source are expected
to be accounted for May l. The PERMITS
are worded so as to serve merely as no.
tice to the police that the bearer is I'M
mune from arrest under the peddiers Or
