JUDGES ERROR
GIVES NEW TRIAL
Failure to Give Jury Proper
Instructions Causes a
Reversal.

The old saying. the laws delay" is
yesterday by the supreme court in
which Justice Collins writes the opln-
ion.
Lawrence Kurtstelska was employed
by Jackson & Box who were
putting in a system of sewers in Wi
mona. kurtStelska was at work in
the sewer shoveling sand when sheet
ing which was used in the excavating
gave way and he was caught between
the stringers and killed.
Suit was brought in the district court
and the jury returned a verdict in ia
vor of the administrative for S4,25O.
The contractors took an appeal to the
supreme court on the ground that the
judge in charging the jury erred by
not covering every legal question in
Volved.
The decision holds that the evidence
at the trial was sufficient to justify
the jury in finding that the defendant
was negligent when furnishing mater
1al to be. used by workmen in the con-
ligence was the proximate cause of
the death of Kurtstelska when
a trial court undertakes to sum up
and formulate the law which is to
govern a jury in it's deliberations it is
its duty to cover every legal question
involved.
That this was not done in this case
the court finds, and consequently the
order is reversed and a new trial
granted. 7r.a

CON INGENT FUND
IN GREAT DEMAND
Many Requests Made for
Share of $4,000 Allowed
for City.

Under the new charter the sum of
$4,000, known as the. mayors contin-
gent fund, is set aside annually for
the purpose of promoting the best in
terests of the city. Ordinarily this
amount suffices, but as a result of the
raid that has been, made during the
past two months it is feared that the
amount will be exhausted before the
year is half finished ~'...,-.
According to a compilation made
yesterday by Comptroller 'Betz, 81
$3.50 of the amount has been given
away up to date and requests are being
prepared by various associations, which
if granted will wipe out the remainder
in a hurry.
In order to discourage any further
demands, the council some time ago
pledged itself to call halt when So
600 of the amount available had been
spent, but even this pledge in some
cases does not avail. = Pressure is Oft
en- brought to bear and the members
say they are literally forced in come
Instances to accede.
The biggest amount paid out so far
was $3.50 for the payment of some old
debts standing against Auditorium.
In other instances amounts were Civ
en- to defray expenses of conventions
and gatherings held a year ago. The
council now has under consideration
an appropriation of $500 for the an
nual reunion of the Army of the Phil
ippines to be held in st. Paul during
the summer and $500 to Acker Post,
G. a. r., for expenses incurred in OBJ
serving Memorial day. Both of these
are considered quite worthy and they
will be granted. t- '-.

Owners of st. Paul office buildings
in which passenger and freight eleva-
tors are operated Will fight the ordi-
nance compelling safety locks on the
doors and the Strengthening of The
shafts so as to make them snug with
the floor of the lift.
This was the information conveyed
yesterday to the city building inspec-
tor and Difference to the wishes of
those who propose to make the fight
the enforcement of the law, which went
into effect yesterday, was delayed UNI
til today. Those opposing the law say
1t is an unlawful exercise of author
1ty and unconstitutional.
The ordinance calling for the placing
of; safety locks on all elevator gates
and the removal of projecting beams
and distractions from the elevator
shafts was passed by the council near
~ a year ago, but at the request of
those concerned it's enforcement has
been delayed from time to time. Yes
tefday was the last day, but few could
be. found who had complied with the
measure. Some were negotiating and
others had placed contracts for gates,
so they said. but beyond this no atten-
ton whatever has been paid to
the law.
Whatever the decision reached by the
property owners today, City Building
Inspector Ellerbe intends to proceed
with the enforcement of the law. and
some arrests may follow. An appeal
may be taken and the validity of the
ordinance tested.
An examination will be made of ev-
cry elevator in the city next week to
see If the ordinance is being obeyed

Street Railway VIII Obey Ordinance
to the Letter Upon That Date.

Any further doubt as to compliance
with the new 'owl car" ordinance by
the ST. Paul City Railway company
has been removed by Vice President
Goodrich, who officially announces that
the new service will prevail on all
lines. both in st. Paul and Minneapo-
lis. beginning with the night of the
18TH inst.
In anticipation of the new ordinance
going into effect last night a number
overstayed their time while down town
and in consequence had to seek hotels.
Assemblyman Schurmeier had a reso-
luton ready for the meeting of the as
sembly Thursday evening calling upon
the street car company to explain Why
they were not obeying the ordinance,
but when informed that all the lines
had been provided for he withdrew It,
The lack of patronage is a favorite
line of talk with the street car officials
whenever the new service is referred to,
but such a condition does not prevail
on all lines. One assemblyman said
yesterday that on one car Wednesday
morning at o'clock sixty passen-
gers were counted.

JUST LAID FIGURES

Public Examiner Says He Made No
Charges Against Ralph.

The report of the drainage board in
the Ralph investigation is still in the
air. The board had couple of short
sessions yesterday, but the report has
not been agreed to by the three MEM
bers.
State Auditor Iverson left the city
last evening, to be gone until Tuesday,
and the probabilities are that the
formal report will not be made public
until his return.
The state public examiner said yes
terday that he knew nothing about the
nature of the. report to be made by the
board. Il would like to have it dis
tinctly stated in the press that the
public examiner made no charges
against Engineer Ralph before the
drainage board. All that I had to do
with the matter was to lay before the
board the figures which were called fol

SMALL PROSPECT
OF LOWER RATES
Dearth Shows That Fire Tn
derWriters Have Narrow
Margin.

The idea of Commissioner Freeman,
of the st. Paul fire board, that it was
possible to secure a reduction in the
rates paid to fire insurance companies
by the st. Paul insurers goes glimmer-
ing when the figures furnished by the
state insurance commissioner are con-
Sidered.
At the request of Commissioner
Freemen the fire board passed q res
olution calling on Insurance Commits
sioner Dearth for figures showing the
amount paid in premiums in ST. Paul
in 1902 and also the fire losses.
The report sent to the board yester-
day shows that in 1902 the premiums
paid on insurance in st. Paul amount
ed to $770,552, and the losses paid,
$350,19S.
The loss ratio to premiums paid was
40 per cent. This would, figuring that
the other expenses of the companies
were 40 per cent, allow a profit of Is
per cent on st. Paul business for Ii st
year
The insurance commissioner. how
ever, has sent a table showing the pre-
miums paid and losses incurred dur
ing the last ten years in st. Paul and
these figures show that the companies
during that time have not averaged
any large profit.
The figures submitted by the insur-
ance commissioner follow:

Total SC, 5000 $4,823,914 G

Accompanying the figures the inSur-
ance commissioner writes as follows:
The figures show an average loss
for ten years OF 50 per cent of the pre-
MUM receipts add to this 40 per
cent for expenses and it makes a to-
tai OF 1922 per cent; consequently the
companies have in this entire period
sustained loss of per cent on their
underwriting in st. Paul. The loss
ratio for the year 1902, however, was
only 45 per cent-of the gross premium
receipts, to which should be added 40
per cent expenses, including, of course,
agents" commissions, making a total
of So per cent, thus indicating a profit
of 10 per cent
THE very heavy losses occurring
during the year 1900 account for the
heavy loss ratios and if said year had
been an average Of Che other nine the
companies would have shown a fair
balance on the right side of the Jed
ger. In other words, the companies
would have realized fair profit on
their underwriting in ST. Paul, the
loss ratio for that particular year being
from 200 to 800 per cent greater than
any other year in the ten-year period"
