ARE STILL ON STRIKE
Plumbers Deny Report of Set
Element.

The plumbers union last evening
strenuouSly denied the statement pub
liShed yesterday to the effect that the
strike by the journeymen against the
master plumbers had been settled and
intimating that the men had receded
in their demands for $3.50 per day.
Not only have we not settled, but
we are in a better condition for the
fight today than when we first started.
and intend to stick out for our de-
mands until we get them," said Sec
rotary Mayer, of the union. I'VE have
only fifteen men of our ninety-SiX who
are not working at present either in
the fair shops of this city or in Mime
apolis, and we are able to take care Of
those fifteen until they can get work
at $3.50 a day, for it's going to be $3.50
a day or nothing for all of us.
I'VE have been out since June Is
last and can stay out indefinitely so
far as our finances are concerned. In
order to tell the whole truth, you can
say that five men of our number did
leave us and went to work, but one of
these has already come back and the
other four are not worth saying any
thing about.
You can say, also, what has not
been published before-that we sent
back the twenty-eigh men brought on
from New York at our own expense, it
costing us $28 per man car fare and 81
for expenses. Some of these men had
wages owing them which the employ
ers refused to pay, and we advanced
them this sum and have assignments
of their claims on which we mean to
bring suit.
mo, the strike is not settled by a
good way; and the only way to settle
it is for them to grant our demands Of
$3.50 a day. When they do that they
can talk Of settlement, but not before"

COURT CENSURES
RECEIVER GRAVES
Does Not Remove Him, but Reduces His
Compensation.

Judge Brill, of the district court, yes
terday, in refusing the application of the
Western Realty and Investment company
for the removal of Edward B. Graves as
receiver of the North American Savings,
Loan and Building company, directed that
the receiver make report to the court
on Nov. 1 of his proceedings since June /,
and also that he should report to the
court once a month thereafter.
The court also fixed Mr. Graves COM
pensation at the rate of $3.50 per moth
with $50 Office rent, instead of the $500
month hitherto allowed him. Mr.. Graves
was also directed to pay a dividend of
per cent on the claims allowed from the
$40, 900 now in his hands as receiver, which
will amount to about SIS, 900.
The court in denying the application
took occasion to say that Mr. Graves was
open to cenSure in several matters which
had been put in his answer. The cred
itors, the court said, We're entitled to know
how the estate was being administered
and also to as speedy a settlement as pos
sible without harm to the estate. Mr..
Graves, however, had only made mistakes
of judgment, the court thought, and in
view of his expressed willingness to abide
by the ruling of the court, was entitled to
stay in mis- position.

DAN PATCH IS
WORTH $4,000 MORE
Continued From First Page.

1t was brought before the board bv
questions asked Mr.. Savage's repre-
sentatives that among the other forty
seven horses on the stock farm are
Dlrectum, another noted race horse and
sire; Roy Wilkes, Online and Dan
Patch Jr., all valuable animals
1t was asserted that the true value
of Dan Patch is $4,000 or more, and
that he is insured for $4,000; that Mr..
Savage paid $12,100 for Directum, and
that he recently refused an offer of
$4,000 for Dan Patch Jr.
These statements were not contest
ed by the representatives of Mr.. Saw
age, but they said they were unable to
give detailed information on some
points through lack of knowledge of
Mr.. Savages affairs. They were pre-
pared to say, however, that Mr.. Savage
would submit cheerfuIly to any fair
assessment of his horses proportion
ateIy with other stock of the same class
throughout the state.
This the board thought would be ac-
complished by an increase of 80 per
cent on Mr.. Savage's assessment, which
was accomplished by raising the entire
class in which the Savage property is
listed 80 per cent in the township of
Glendale. This will increase Mr.. Saw
age > assessment lTOIn 91Z,0UU TO 9ZZ,-
500 and will not affect any other.
Representatives of a number of
banking institutions throughout the
state appeared before the board in the
morning, in response to notices of pro-
posed increases in their assessments.
Saloon Fixtures Raised.
In the regular course OF business the
board took up the class which COM
prises stock and fixtures of saloons
and restaurants and increased the as
seSsment in that division throughout
the state to the aggregate amount of
$685. The assessment of last year
on that class was $1,389,739; and the
returns for this year $1,256,63O; and the
board took up its work with the pur-
pose of effectfng a 10 per cent increase
over the assessment of last year.
The result, however, exceeded that
hgure. for nearly every county in the
state was raised to some extent and
some were given a strong boost
Ramsey, for instance, showed re-
turns of only $124,935 for this year, as
compared with an assessment of S244,-
100 last year, and was raised 100 per
cent. -Hennepin's returns showed bet
ter by comparison and the increase
there was but 10 per cent.

parat1Ve figures of last year and this
