In an alcove, partially formed by a

the canvas in such way that Blake
did not recognize the subject until
squarely in front of it.

did not hear Arthur Morris as ne ap-

Morris. You've been staring at it
five minutes. A box at the opera you

Done" said Blake. That's a por-

An expression of dumb surprise
swept across the face of Arthur Nor

DULUTH WANTS AN ALLY
SEEKS AID FOR A MOVEMENT TO
PREVENT INCREASE IN FIRE IN
sURANCE RATES. >-~s~,.....,.zs {.

A request has been made by the city
council of Duluth to the city council OF
Minneapolis to join in a movement to
secure legislation preventing an arbi-
trary increase of rates by the fire in
surance compact. 81
Duluth is much disturbed over pro-
posed increase and the city council has
passed a resolution objecting in posi-
tive terms and directing city officials
not to insure public property at the
new rates.
The legislature is asked to pass laws
to restrain the insurance companies
and the Duluth members are instructed
to use their influence for the passage
of such laws. The insurance companies,
itt itsgai Is stated, are regulated in various
ways. In, some states the so-called
compact" is prohibited and in others he
the rates are fixed by local boards. The
resolution declares that fire, losses in
Duluth and in the whole state have
been small in comparison with the
amount paid in premiums ana there n4 i, Is s

MINOR FELICITATES HIMSEI.

City Assessor G. J. Minor feels that
the city has scored an important point
in the movement to place property in
warehouses and cold storage plants
on the tax lists, by the result Of the
state against the Produce Refrigerat.
ing company to collect 1928 in taxes o.
an assessment of $4,000. It is NJ,
contended that the company owns all
the produce in it's storagehouse, but
inasmuch as it has steadfastly refused
to supply the assessor with list of
the owners or to COVE him access to
the books, there has been nothing that
Mr.. Minor could do but to make an
arbitrary assessment and let the courts
decide.
In due course the action to recover
the tax which the company refused to
pay, came into court and Judge Brooks
directed the company to produce its
books in court. This is all Mr.. Minor
wants. AS this case will proce a

There's trouble in the Goldenrod

charged with stealing $40 from Mrs.
Ella Gerber, a fellow guest, while the
club was being entertained by Mrs. A.

Thursday afternoon.
Mrs. Larson pleaded not guilty and
asked for a jury trial. The case was
set for next Tuesday at 10 am.
Mrs. Larson was arrested, 1T IS SAID,
because she left the room while the
card games were in progress and be,
cause when she was searched she had
$50 in her pocketbook. At the trial
her husband will testify that he gave
his wife 500, with which to pay for
two tons of coal, just before he left
home last Thursday at noon.

Move to Raise Funds to Bury Supposed

Sympathies Of a number of prominent

death of. John Simpson, an aged inmate of
the county poor farm 1t was represented
that he had in former years sacrificed a
fortune while a prosperous landowner in
ireland by gifts to his needy neighbors,
during the famine of 1868. His gener-
osity had proved his ruin, and when
Ill health overlook him he became coun-
ty charge here.
A movement was at once started to
raise a fund to give the supposed philan-
thropist fitting burial. Investigation,
however, disclosed that there was no truth
in the yarn. The man, an Englishman.
was at one time a sailor and it is doubtful
If he ever was possessed Of any property
worth speaking of, and still more doubtful
If he ever lost anything thru generosity.

I am sure that we could entirely rid
the streets of children at night.
"No -one can doubt that it is an
evil to have children about the streets
at night. There are so many dangers
and temptations, to say nothing of the
bad habits they are bound to form. We
must have the curfew ordinance and it
must be enforced as rigidly as posi-
ble.'

greatest evils this city has is that OF

course, the parents are primarily tc

after their children, it is the duty OF
the city to interfere and do what it car
to protect the little ones from the
vicious neglect of others.''
HEnforce the ordinance, if you can
but by all means drive the children of
the streets at night,'' said Probation
officer George A. Copeland. " Children
have no business on the streets at un
reasonable hours and if the ordinance
does not keep them off, they may be
reached in some other way. Certainly
they must not loiter on the street,
CT think the ordinance should be en-
forced,'' said Police Matron Sarah
Schaefer, "but even if it is not, it
should remain on the books as an
emergency ordinance under which chill
dren who will not obey the orders of the
officers and keep off Of the streets at

from the rates charged by the Armour
company for the use of cars. The Armour
company has ceased to bring in its own
fruit in its cars; if it did so, the local mer-
chants would have to go out of business

the railroads for the privilege of using
them.
When fruit is shipped from New York
in cars owned by the railroads, no charge
is made for the use of them, except the

used high rate is charged. This

BRIDE WAITS AT ONE, GROOM AT
THE OTHER.
Detectives In City Hall Finally Caught
the Groom to Be and Witnessed Mar
riage Ceremony Quickest Catch in
History of the Department-All
Ended Happily.

Too many entrances to the court
house nearly prevented the. marriage
of Cornelia Harper and Charles w.
Baker, two leaders in colored society,
this morning, and had it not been for
the faithfulness of the bride-elect, they
might have been parted forever.
When the young man left his sweet
her in the entrance of the courthouse
this morning, but forgot to say which
entrance. The meeting was set for 8
o CLOCK. ..
Not desiring to keep her lover
waiting, Miss Harper, attired in a
white duck suit, with hat and slip
pers to match, came in at the city hall
entrance an hour before the appointed
time. She paced up and down. the
corridors in front of police headquar-
ters to while away the time. At last,
9 O'Clock came, but no bridegroom.
Soon the woman became nervous; her
steps. were quicker and her glances at
the door more frequent. Another hour
rolled by filed with anguish for the
maid, and still she said nothing but
kept her vigil. Finally the tears be
gan to come and she ventured to ask
the police officers at headquarters if
briqhtened somewhat when they an
swered in the negative. All this time
the much-wanted bridegroom was at
the Fourth street entrance acting in a
similar manner and wondered if he
had been deserted at the altar. He
thought of going to the other en-
trance and SO did she, but each feared
the other would come at the wrong
moment and cause more trouble.
Shortly before IL O'Clock the girl
opened up. her heart and told the de:
tectives- her predicament. In few
moments the whole force had broken
into the preliminary ceremonies and
were looking for the man. He was
found sticking close to his post, and
after bashful greeting took Cornelis
to Judge Brooks courtroom, where
the ceremony made amends for the
hours of WORRY
