JUDGE is CAUSTIC
s~ IN MAKING DECISION
Judge Otis Says Security Company Is
Guilty of Gross Negligence
at Least.

Judge Otis yesterday sustained the
defendants demurrer to the complaint
of the National Bond and Security
company in it's suit against Bessie
Burns ct al, and incidentally roasted
the company.
The plaintiff sued to establish a lien
on valuable real estate owned by the
defendants, alleging as a ground of &C
ton that the company had paid taxes
on the property in the mistaken belief
that it held state tax sale certificates
on the land. 1t was afterwards dis
covered that the supposed certificates
were only receipts, the certificates
themselves having previously been as
signed by the company to third par
ties.
"The complaint shows conclusiveIy,"
says the court in holding that the COM
pany had not established cause of
action, that the plaintiffs erroneous
belief must have resulted from the
grosSest negligence on it's part.
"In August, 1898, it assigned the GER
tiicates, and having knowledge of it
then is certainly charged with knowl-
edge of it five months later, and there
is not word of excuse or explanation
for overlooking the transaction. How
it could have supposed that the tax
receipts in it's possession were certif-
icates of sale is inconceivabIe, for they
are wholly dissimilar, and the most
casual glance would have discovered
such dissimilarity. Gross carelessness
alone must account for the plaintiffs
belief. More forgetfulness or failure
to appreciate or understand the legal
effect of the receipts would not excuse,
and even this much is not pleaded"

GAS COMPANY WILL
SUE STREET RAILWAY
Destruction of Mains by EIectroIysis
Is to Be Basis of Big
Suit

Fast on the heels of the city water
boards suit against the Twin CITY
Kap1d Transit company for $4,000 for
damage TO its water mains by reason
OF electrolosis comes the announce
ment that the st. Paul Gas Light COM
pany will make similar claim, though
FOR smaller amount. This suit will
be brought In the event that the city
wins.
President Lathrop and the local Of
hc1als Of the gas company are very
reticent regarding the reported step,
but admit that something will be done
Beyond that they will say nothing.
Their underground plant, it Is said,
has suffered badly from the destructive
currents generated by the street car
company, though this the street car
company denies, contending that the
gas company is just as much respon-
as any electric producing concern in
the city.
The size and Importance of the suit
now awaiting attention from the dis
trlct court has no parallel in the his
tory OF the local municipality and be-
cause OF this fact Is receiving the I'M
divided attention of Corporation Attor-
ney Markham and his assistants Even
the water department., which is foster
ing the action, is busy, Investigations
being continually made for the purpose
of producing convincing evidence Of
the destructive force of the stray cleo
trio currents, which are now and, it is
said, for years have been playing havoc
with the iron MAINS
That the street car company realizes
it's position is evidenced by the fact
that all new rail laid this year has
been doubly bonded with copper con-
nect1ons so as to prevent the return
current from leaving the rail and find
ing it's way into the ground.

THEATERS MUST PAY
AS PROFITS INDICATE
Graduated Scale of License Payment
Is Held by Managers to Be
Unjust.

Managers of the local theaters do not
favor the attempt to increase their
licenses and If the measure now being
drafted is favorably considered a pro-
test may be raised. According to the
ordinance now being prepared by the
legal department the Metropolitan will
be charged $500 a year, the Grand $500,
the Star 500 and the Empire and IT.
voli each $50. On this basis the play
houses of st. Paul are divided into four
classes and taxed according to their
price of admission, fixing $500 as the
limit.
The contention raised by some is
that the city must impose a uniform
tax, as the law which permits it does
not view it in the light Of a revenue
producer, but rather as police meas
ure, by which the city may be enabled
to protect those who patronize the
houses.
The legal department, however, re-
fuses to view the matter in this light.
1t says the class distinction can be
made and the tax imposed accordingly.

FATHER M'CORRY TELLS
THE STORY BEAUTIFUL
PauIist Missioary Delivers Lecture at
the Cathedral Before Large
Audience.

'The Story Beautiful" as told by
Rev. j. P. MacCorry, a Paulist father,
at the Cathedral, last night, was both
interesting and entertaining
The lecturer, an orator of ability,
was assisted by the choir of the Ca
thedral, which rendered appropriate
musical selections during the lecture,
and over 200 lantern views of famous
paintings, representing scenes in the
life, work and death of Christ were
shown.
An audience which filled every seat
in the church greeted the lecturer and
frequently applauded his word-paint-
ings of the scenes in the life of the
Savior.
The choir of fifty voices sang the
"Hallelujah" chorus, Regina Coeli'
and Praise Ye the Father" and John
F. Gehan was heard in the solo, "The
Palms" One of the features of the
musical programme was the rendition
by choir of twenty-five school chill
dren of ooh, Holy Night" The chill
dren were stationed in the sacristy,
and the effect of their voices in con-
nection with the exhibition of the pic
ture showing the birth Of Christ was
particularly fine. While a picture de-
picting the death of a soldier was
shown the effectiveness was increased
by the playing of TAPS" on a bugle in
the choir loft.

BROAD BRIM DIPS
DER FEMININE FACE
Partisan Creations at Schuneman q
Evans Are RevoIu-
tionary.

Gorgeous creations In feminine head
gear, straight from la belle Paris,
where dame fashion queens it over the
civilized world, beautify the millinery
department of Schuneman & Evans. No
woman, however hazy her vision, could
escape the consequences Of one visit
to the second floor OF this establish
ment these days. If her eyes were all
ing the spectacle would work a Won
drouS cure.
Hats! The simple Saxon word ut
terly fails to picture the sight. Talk
about the Darwinian evolution OF man
from the ape, it isn't a circumstance
compared with the marvellous meta
morphosis from the primitive bonnet
of yore exemplified by these elaborate
specimens of the milliner's art and
creative genius. Dreams" but feebly
describes them.
They are built ON the Expansion"
plan, these latest importations from
Paris. Under one of these extensive
hats a woman Of the amplest circum-
ference would be scarcely visible
from above. But face to face she
would be vision to delight the eye.
Perhaps the most dazzling creation
of all in the new assortment is a per-
feet dream in white, designed by Nine
Vivot, the noted Partisan milliner 1t Is
a large picture hat of white beaver,
trimmed with a wavy white plume and
the softest white plush. Without the
slightest exaggeration it is calculated
to make a woman of ga certain age"
look only half her years It's price puts
that of the SWEETEST thing known in
mems headgear to utter shame.
In striking contrast to this crown Of
white Is an imposing achievement n
black, la Gainsborough. 1t is adorn-
ed with a large black and a white
plume effectively interwined. The
crown is of folded black velvet, with
crushed facing of black velvet. 1t,
too, costs something.
Another exquisite thing is a rose
velvet affair, set in a large PLAGUE Of
roses and trimmed with whole mink
and lace. Equally pretty is a castor
velvet hat with large French crown
of shirred velvet, trimmed with castor
wings and Apricot shade. 1t is diff
cult to imagine the face or form it
would not become.
The most vivid fancy cannot picture
anything to excel the beauty of a
gorgeous specimen in green-a large
draped hat Of sage green velvet, with
mink brim. It Is ornamented with
chiffon facing and a lace barb at the
back.
To enumerate in detail all the other
handsome and unique designs would
require more columns than are avail
able at this time. Suffice it to say that
the collection comprises many more
charming and striking creations.
Among them are the Spanish lace barb
hat in black, enveloped in a profusion
Of black drapery, the Ernine hat and
the "Bird of Paradise" hat, with
crown of velvet, surmounted by bird
Of paradise with wings outspread.
Opera neckwear of chiffon and lace
is also to be had in the millinery de-
partment.

OCTOGENARIAN SAYS
HE WAS DEFRAUDED
Alfred King Fears That He Will Lose
the Home of His DecIin-
ing Years.

Charges of conspiracy and fraud are
contained in the complaint filed in the
district court by Alfred D. King
against John c. Beatty and Florence
Walpole. The plaintiff asks that a
mortgage on his homestead be set
aside as having been obtained from
him by Misrepresentation
The suit was originally brought in
Anoka county, where the plaintiff re-
he says is worth about $1,000. Judge
Jaggard yesterday granted an order
transferring the action for trial to the
Ramsey county county district court.
In his complaint Mr.. King says he
is over eighty years of age and almost
helpless. He had given a mortgage on
his property in December, 1898, to one
w. f. Meek to secure a loan of $500,
payable in three years. During the
summer Of 1901, he says, he suffered
great distress and anxiety on account
of the approaching foreclosure Of this
mortgage, which he was without
means to pay, and fearing lest he
should lose his little home and have
no place to pass his remaining years.
he was induced to listen to his friend,
the defendant Beatty.
Beatty offered, for the sake of old
friendship, to take UP the Meek mort
him befriend him, and suggested that
new mortgage be made out for
enough more than the old one to give
the plaintiff a little pocket money"
King consented, and on Sept. 10, 1901,
signed a note and mortgage for some
$500, Beatty at the same time giving
him $1Q0 in cash and what purported
to be satisfaction of the Meek mort
gage.
Several months after this transact
ton, the complaint continues, Mr..
King was called on to pay the Meek
mortgage, and then learned, as he
claims, that he had been made the
victim of his friends deception. He
employed counsel to investigate, and
his attorney discovered that the al
legged satisfaction of the Meek mort
gage was in fact a conveyance from
the defendant Walpole of a lot several
miles east of st. Paul, having so little
value that "one could not afford to
take 1t as gift and pay for recording
the deed"
Mr.. King claims that he has been
swindled in the name of friendship.
and alleges that he has rendered the
defendants the 800 pocket money"
received when the mortgage was exc
cuted, together with a deed of the
worthless lot in Ramsey county, and
demanded cancellation Of their mort
gage, but that they have refused him
this justice. The Meek mortgage is
now being foreclosed, and he is in dam
ger of losing his homestead unless the
court intervenes to protect him.
The complaint closes with a petition
that the court shall declare the mort
gage to the defendants void.

WANT CARS TO STAY
ON ROBERT STREET
Property Owners Protest Against
Proposed Change of
Terminal.

Robert street property owners and
business men are preparing to protest
vigorously against the proposed re-
moval of the street car terminals from
that thoroughfare. 81
Petitions are now being circulated,
and these will be handed in at the next
meeting of the council, when the ordi-
nance calling for the use of the Broad
way loop by all street cars passing
east on Fifth street is brought up for
consideration.
The ordinance ordering the abandon
ment of these terminals is now being
prepared by the legal department. 1t
not only denies the use of the street
to all the car lines now using it, but
demands that the company shall re-
move all tracks now on 1T.
The attempt to wipe out the termi-
nails on Robert street is one Of annual
occurrence, but 1t so far has failed.
Several weeks ago Aid. Dahlquist, of
the Third ward, asked the legal de-
partment to prepare for him an ordi-
nance sending the Como-Harriet cars
around the Broadway loop instead of
Robert street, but it never material
lied. 1t was backed by heavy petit
ton signed by Fifth and Seventh
street property owners, but was as
vigorously opposed by those along
Robert street
The street car company, it is said,
favors the change, principally for the
reason that Robert street is becoming
too congested. In time it hopes to see
all the small cars replaced with big
ones and when that comes the use of
the Robert street tracks will be almost
impossible.
Not only are petitions against the
proposed change being circulated, but
an agitation for a mass meeting Of
the property owners is being made. AT
this meeting a committee will be ap
pointed to look after the interests of
the street and to call upon the council,
if necessary to prevent the passage of
the measure,

ROW AT CEMETERY
RESULTS IN A SUIT
Undertaken Wants Damages From Crave
yard Keeper.

The row that occurred at Calvary GEM
etery on May 81 last between Max Le-
becke, an undertaken at ATT ST. Peter
street, and Stephen Lendway, keeper of
the cemetery, will be rehearsed in the dis
trict court during the October term. Lei
becke yesterday filed the papers in his
suit to recover $4,000 damages from Lend
way for alleged assault and wrongful i'm
prisonment.
The complaint charges that while the
plaintiff was conducting funeral, he was
attacked by the defendant and deprived
of his liberty for a considerable time. The
dispute arose over the burial of child
in free grave. Mr.. Leibecke claimed
that he had an oral permit from the sec
rotary of the cemetery association, but
the keeper refused to allow the interment
without a written authorization. After
prolonged alteration at the grave the
undertaken had left the cemetery, as he
claims. Lendway dragged him from the
hearse and shut him up in his Office, from
which he was released only upon the in
reference of his friends.
