the ''try-out'' at Coney Island last winter
and saw ITO men fall and three killed in
seeking to negotiate the big, elipse.
Then Mr.. Ruel cooly mounted his wheel
at the head Of the steep incline and

ADDRESS TO MEDICs
Glass Exercises of Hamline College
of Physicians and Surgeons

Members of the graduating class of the
Iiamline College of Physicians and Sur
geons last night gathered in the Henne-
pin avenue M. e.. church for their annual
class night exercises and to listen to an
address by Rev. Irving P. Johnson.
The speaker dwelt forcibly upon the inn
portance of the doctors position in society
and stating that he comes into even closer
relation to the family than does the min
lister and upon him therefore devolves
a greater responsibility. He admonished
the graduates to dare to do right even
at a, financial loss and to stand undaunted
by public opinion. The four principles
which he advocated as essential to a. ply
sician's success were, earnestness, SYM
pathy, personal purity and moral cour-
age.
DR.. J. T. Moore acted as chairman, and
Rev. S. D. Hutspiler pronounced the in
vocation. The present class Is the largest
in the history of the school. Commence
ment exercises will be held tomorrow
at p. m. and Wednesday evening at the
Hotel Nicollet the annual banquet will be
spread. The graduates are as follows:
Charles Swenson, D. k. Caldwell, Phi. B.; Ber-
tram e. Lord, John r. Phehn Frederick G..

Twin City Phone Strikers Receive
Final Answer From Prest.
3. II. Moulton.
He Approves General Managers Ao-
ton and Declines to Treat
Further.

Fourteen Minneapolis young women
have ceased to say "helloi'' in an official
capacity. The striking telephone opera
tors. lately employed by the Twin City
Telephone company, are apparently out
in the cold. President e. II. Moulton, Of
the company, this morning mailed to Miss
Alice Dunbar, who waited upon him as
a representative Of the strikers. his ulti-
matum. In which he breaks off further
treaty with their grievance committee,
and refuses to go back of General Man
ager e. 3. Webster's action in discharg-
ing four operators. the incident that led
to the strike.
II held an ex parte investigation Of 1.-the
causes leading up to the strike,'' said
Mr.. Moulton, with the determination
of seeing that the girls got what Justice
ter thoroly I find that they had no valid
excuse for striking, and that the girls
originally dismissed from the service Of
the company were released on good and
sufficient cause. Mr.. Webster was fully
justified in severing their connection with
the company on the grounds Of ineffi-
cheney.
There is not word Of truth in the re-
port that the girls were discharged be-
cause Of their attempts to organize a
union. They simply couldn't or wouldn't
do the work satisfactorily, and for that
reason did not discharge their duties in
diligently. 1t is a fact that in order to
insure patrons the very best service,
which it Is their right to demand, we
must, in an establishment Of this kind,
insist upon the observance Of the strict
est rules and regulations In the interest OF
discipline. If the girls objected to such
requirements, it was their, privilege to
seek more congenial employment, but
they left us no alternative but to insist
upon their quitting our service. We had
no fault to find with the work Of those
who struck first. They were regular ex-
perienced operators; but the girls who
struck later in. sympathy were mostly
extras. We have filled the places, and as
our patrons can testify, satisfactory serv-
| ice has been given.
1--WE have been fair in this matter
and have given the strikers chance tc
return If they SO desired, which they de.
clined except on their own conditions.

ARRIVE IN CHICAGO $3.50 A. M.
AS Usual the North Western Line Is First

AS Usual the Northwestern Line Is First
In Improving Chicago Service.
The most luxurious train between twin
cities and Chicago-the Northwestern
Limited-continues to leave Minneapolis,
500 p. M, st. Paul, $3.50 o.. M, but now
arrives Chicago $3.50 a. m. This earlier
arrival insures connections for the east
and south not made by other trains.
In this connection it is also interesting
to recall that between the twin cities and
Chicago the North Western line operated
the first train having appointments of the
present-da Limited, first Pullman sleep
ers. first compartment cars, first parlor
cars, first dining cars, first observation
cafe cars and the first reclining chair
cars. This clearly shows the progressive
spirit Of this ever-popular and reliable
line.
The line also runs more trains and car
ries more passengers In and out Of Mime
apolis, st. Paul and Chicago than any
other railroad.

COUNTY's ATLAS MUTILATED

A Valuable Atlas In County Auditors Of
flee Cut by Some Van
dial.
Some vandal has been at work in the
county auditors office. A few days ago
one of the deputies had occasion to use
enc Of the big aliases of Minneapolis. To
his surprise he found that a plat of Cal
houn park had been cut out and carried
away. The work had evidently been done
with pen knife and very hurriedly,
probably while the backs of the employees
were turned
Chief Deputy Condit was informed of
the fact and expressed very strongly his
contempt for a man who would commit
such an act. A close watch Is being kept
upon the books now and if any one is
caught i'll such an act he will find himself
up against a hard proposition.
