ALL B|NDERY GIRLS
WALK OUT TODAY
Strikers Claim That Every Shop
Viii Be Closed This
Morning.

Every bindery girl in the city will walk
out this morning.
Fifty more girls will join the ranks OF
the Bindery Girls union today.
These are the claims made by the strik-
ing bindery girls at the close of an en-
thusiastic meeting held last night in Fed
Grafton hail.
The strikers begin the second week Of
their fight confident that they are to win
in the end. At the meeting last night
the attendance exceeded that of any other
meeting and a canvass Of those present
found every shop in the city represented.
The conservative strikers claim that
more than 200 girls will be out today.
The striking girls, at the meeting, bit
terly denounced the attempts OF the en-
ployers to spread the report that the
union had been forcing other girls to leave
their work The strikers insist that up
to date all members of the union have ap-
piled for membership and insist that they
are making a fair fight for recognition.
The international president is unable to
come to St. Paul at once, being detained
by a strike in Chicago, but the officers
of the local union have affairs well in
hand.
The strikers will endeavor to make
plain to the public the fact that the fight
is but for one point-the recognition of
the union-and not as was generally sup
posed for a higher scale Of wages. ID.

NO CARS FOR FISH
Commission Has Trouble Ar.
ranging Worlds Fair Exhibit.

Means of transportation for the Min
nesota fish exhibit to be sent to the
st. Louis exposition is a problem that
is now giving the state game and fish
commission much concern. 1t was eX-
pected that the commission would be
able to have at its disposal one of the
United States government cars spe-
cially constructed for the shipment Of
fish, but recent correspondence indi-
Gates a disappointment on that score
1t has been found that about May 1,
when the Minnesota commission will
want to ship its exhibit, all of the fish
cars owned by the federal government
will be in use.
The game and fish commission will
hold one of its regular meetings in
this city today, and the question of
transportation for the fish will then be
considered.
ut would be possible" said Execu-
tive Agent Fullerton, ito ship our fish
fry in tanks placed on fiat cars, but
that would necessitate the pumping Of
air into the tanks at regular intervals
and would entail a great deal more
trouble and expense than if We shipped
them in car built for the purpose"
An important question to come be-
fore the board at it's meeting today
will be the approval of the plans for
the proposed new buildings at the
GlenWood branch hatchery.

MODERN WOODMEN
CAMPS MAY UNITE
Project to Consolidate Copeland, Ar
Iington and Dayton's Bluff Lodges.

An effort is being made to unite in
one lodge three strong Modern Wood
men of America camps and thus create
a lodge that in membership and in
fuence will hardly be second to Min
nehaha camp, the largest in the North
west.
The movement was recently set on
foot in Copeland camp, committee
being appointed to bring about if pos
sible coalition with Arlington camp,
each of the lodges having a member
ship of about 400. Arlington camp
members have received the suggestion
with considerable favor, and if the pre-
liminary move of uniting these two
lodges should be successful. an effort
will be made to induce Dayton's Bluff
camp to come into the fold.
If this can be accomplished. and
those at the head of the move are san
guine of success, the ultimate idea Of
the amalgamated lodge will be to erect
"a large hall somewhere in the First
ward

MORE BIDS FOR WEST
SIDE SEWER RECEIVED
Lowest Is Nearly $500 in Excess of
City Engineers Estimate.

The board of public works yesterday
took under advisement the bids for the
new sewer system on the West Side.
The estimate of the city engineer was
that the work should not cost more
than $3.50, but the lowest bid, that of
P. J. Ryan, was $10.437. This was the
second series of bids received for this
work, the lowest on the former occa-
sion having been s10,8O0. The pro-
posed system includes sewer on State
street, from the Mississippi river to
Indiana; Fairfield from Eaton to State,
and Indiana, from Eaton to State.
These contracts were awarded:
Sewer on north side of Summit, from
Smelling to center of Manchester; estimate.
81. $3.50: let to John Lind for $1,000.
Sewer on Edmund, Grotto to Milton;
estimate, $3,947; let to John Lind for
Sewer on Marshall, Lexington to Griggs;
estimate, $500; let to John Lind for
Sewer on Conway, cypress to Earl; es-
innate, $1,149; let to John Lind for Sl,lO0.

WILL TRY AGAIN TO
GET AMUSEMENT PARK
Promoters Seek to Locate 1t Near
Lexington Avenue Ball Grounds.

1t is evident that there will be OBJ
jections to the locating of the so-called
amusement park at or near the Licking
ton avenue baseball grounds. 1t is eX-
pected that an ordinance asking for the
location will be introduced at the next
meeting of the board of aldermen.
The promoters of this enterprise are
finding it difficult to secure a location
where there is not serious objection.
Two ordinances have been defeated,
and the aldermen have gone on record
to the effect that license will not be
granted for a Midway location.
1t is expected that Aid. Bantz, of the
Eighth ward, will oppose the new To-
cation, and that he will have the sup
port of Messrs. Dobner and Elmer, of
the Tenth and Eleventh wards.

Under rulings made by Judge Jag
gard, in an opinion handed down in
the district court yesterday, Ramsey
county will recover the $4,000 lost to
it a few years ago through the pecula-
lions of Walter B. Bourne, the former
deputy auditor who is now serving a
fourteen-year sentence in prison.
Bourne served as deputy auditor I'M
der Auditor Sullivan, and was retained
for time by Auditor Johnson, the lat
ter being instrumental in disclosing
the deputy's populations. By system
of forgeries Bourne succeeded in Sc
curing about $4,000. which the county
had to make good.
Suits to recover this amount were
commenced against the auditors under
whom Bourne served as deputy, and
the county treasurers who cashed the
warrants were also named as defend
ants, as we'll as bank at which many
of the forged warrants were cashed.
The county treasurers who were made
defendants to the suit were Frank e.
Edmund and o. H. Arosin.
Separate suits were instituted
against each of the defendants, all OF
1
time Bourne was brought over from
saltwater as a witness. Judge Jaggard
who heard the cases, did not file his
decision until yesterday
Bourne's plan of securing money was
to make out warrants to which he
signed the name Of the auditor, and
later forged the Endorsement OF the
payees. AS deputy auditor he had the
privilege of signing warrants, but his
superior officer was held liable for his
acts.
Judge Jaggard,. in the decision rem
dered, holds that Bourne, in his ca
pacity as deputy auditor, was Identified
with the auditor by law, but that the
latter must be held liable for the dep
uty's acts. The county treasurer is held
to be liable for any money paid out
by him on forged warrants. but not
liable for money paid to Bourne by the
bank holding the countys funds II

treasurer had forged Endorsements.

DIR. ALLEN IDENTIFIES
MERRIAM PARK SUICIDE
Man Claimed to Be an Ex-soIdier and
Disappeared One Month Ago.


DR.. Mason Allen, whose offices are in
the Endicott arcade, yesterday identified
the body of the man found in the woods
near the corner of Randolph and Fairview
avenues, Sunday, as man who orked
for DR.. Aliens partner, DR.. Louis M. Ben
epe. of 579 Dayton avenue, last summer.
The man, who appeared to be about six
feet TALL was, according to Mrs. Benepe,
not very strong man. and could only do
odd jobs around the house and garden
He said that he was born in Switzerland,
but did not say how long he had been in
this country. He also told them that he
had served in the Spanish-American war.
He seemed to be respondent. and said
little about himself except when ques-
toned He was a man over thirty years
of age, and as far as can be learned was
not married. The last time Dr.. or Mrs.
Benepe saw Panizza was about a month
ago. An autopsy will be held this after
noon at the morgue.

BLOCKADE IS LIFTED
Northern Pacific Trains Arrive
Early This Morning.

After fighting snow drifts on the North
Dakota plains for three days and nights
the Northern Pacific yesterday morning
succeeded in clearing its main track, and
the coast trains which were blockaded
west of Dickinson were released. Reports
from all points along the line throughout
the storm region last night indicated that
the track had been cleared and that traf-
fic was resumed.
The first train to reach st. Paul from
Portland, Or, over the Northern Pacific
since the blockade commenced Thursday
night arrived in this city this morning
at 2:30 o'clock. Three trains closely fol-
lowed this and arrived at the union depot
at 2:4O, $3.50 and $3.50.
These trains were stopped at inter-
walls several miles west of Dickinson The
first encountered the blizzard and was
brought to standstill late Thursday
night, it being found impossible to con-
tinue the run in the face of the binding
storm and the ever increasing drifts of
snow which the violent wind piled upon
the track in small mountains. The trains
following were stalled Friday and Satur-
day. Two trains were held at Minot and
were sent back to the coast, where pas
senger car shortage was threatened on
account of the non-arrival of trains from
81 raul. w eSCDOunQ trains were held at
Mandan till the eastbound trains passed
yesterday, when they were able to pro-
coed.
The westbound trains were we'll filed,
being occupied mostly by settlers on their
way to Washington. The eastbound trains
were not so crowded.
Many stories of hardship were told by
the arrivals this morning when the first
train pulled in at 2:30. Owing to the ex-
ertions of the train crew and the porters
the passengers were kept from suffering
seriously. AS the trains were well-stock-
ed with provisions no hunger was felt,
but relief came just in time, for alarming
inroads were being made On the larder
of the diner
The depot, which usually closes at II
o'clock, was kept open all night to accom-
modate the passengers on the incoming
Northern Pacific trains. A few cabbies
fingered to meet the arrivals. The pas
sengers hurriedly dispersed to neighboring
hotels, and many were met by friends
who had been anXiously awaiting them
during the past three days.
AS the Great Northern succeeded in
clearing its tracks Saturday night. traf-
f1c on that road was restored to its normal
condition yesterday. The coast train due
at 10:40 last night arrived on time.
The movement of freight has been COM
menced on the Great Northern and the
congestion at terminals and western points
has been relieved. The Northern Pacific
commenced to move freight trains on its
western line last night

Charter amendments will not come
before the pepole at the spring cleo
ton. So decided the members of the
charter commission last evening by a
vote of to 5.
Before the. meeting it was openly
predicted that this question would be
decided on political lines, and, to an
extent, such was the case, but some of
the Republican commissioners, notably
Messrs. Zollman, Schuette and Catlin,
refused to view the matter in the same
light as their apparently more partisan
o-workers, with the result that the
amendments will go over to the fall
election.
The purpose of the Republicans de-
string the submission this spring was
said to be to use the proposed amend
ments as campaign material. Practical
ly all of the changes, if adopted, would
mean increased running expenses OF
the city and some give authority to Is
sue bonds One Republican member
openly predicted that the amendments
would be submitted, but the result
proved that he had not counted cor
rectly.
1t was decided to continue the meet
ings weekly hereafter, practically be-
ginning anew, and taking up the char
ter chapter by chapter and making
amendments. The beginning of the new
order will be Wednesday evening Of
next week, the agreement being that
the entire charter will be gone over
and the amendments completed in time
to allow of general discussion before
the fall election.
John Caulfield, secretary of the water
board, induced the commissioners to
reconsider their former action in de-
Gliding that the various city depart
ments should be furnished water. Mr..
Caulf1eld's strong contention was:
AS matters now stand the schools use
one-fourth Of the water consumed in the
city. If there was no check on this con-
sumption, and the board of school in
spectors was not compelled to pay meter
rates for the water used it is likely that
it would require twice as much. The
waste is certainly bad enough now, but
there is check. If a school uses too
much water the fact is brought to the
attention of the school board under the
present system, but with free water there
would be no check and do not believe
that we could furnish sufficient water
to meet the demands. AS the water for

URGE Law KEEPING
JURY TOGETHER
Attorneys Maintain That in
Murder Trials Juries Should
Be Segregated.

While the Minnesota law governing
the treatment of juries engaged in muir
der trials does not require that the
members of the jury shall be kept to-
gether during the trial and after they
are given the case for consideration,
there is considerable agitation among
attorneys, and it may lead to the in
PRODUCTION of a bill at the next session
of the legislature providing that jur1es
shall be kept together and free from
possible influence. during the entire
time of the trials.
The Krause case, completed last
week at Worthington, and which re-
suited in a disagreement of the jury,
has brought the matter forcibly to the
attention of lawyers, though there has
been some agitation among attorneys
and officers of courts looking to an i'm
provement in the law in the past.
The Krause case occupied several
weeks. The first two Jurors were Sc
cured on Saturday, and then court was
adjourned to the following Wednesday,
A week was occupied in securing the
remaining ten men and then two weeks
were required in the trial of the case.
In all this time there was no effort to
put the members of the jury under
guard, jurymen being permitted to go
to their homes for the night and those
living in the country went home for
Sunday.
Once the court had delivered the
charge the jury was then kept together
until it reported disagreement, forty
two hours later.
At the beginning of the trial coun-
sci for the defense asked the court to
keep the jury together and to put a
guard over the members, permitting
them to have no conversation with
anybody about the case. The court held
that it was entirely discretionary with
the court, and in this ruling Judge
Brown was undoubtedly within his
rights. The jury disagreed, but had
there been a conviction a new trial
would have been asked for on the
| grounds of an abuse Of judicial dis
erection in refusing to segregate the
| jury.
A prominent st. Paul lawyer said
yesterday that in trials for murder
many of the states required the juries
to be kept together from the moment
! their members were impaneled, and
that it was probable that measure
would be enacted by the next leg1sla-
| ture of Minnesota removing discretion
| from the court and making such action
| mandatory.

GRANTING AN OPTION
DOES NOT AFFECT TITLE
Property Owner Wins Fight Against In
surance Company in Circuit Court.

Judge Walter H. Sanborn, of the United
States circuit court of appeals, in de-
cision filed yesterday has ruled that
property owner in granting an option to
purchase does not lose any of his title
to his property; and that such an option
does not violate the terms of a contract
of insurance which requires that the
insured shall remain unconditional owner
of the property on which the policy is
written.
This point arose in the case of the
Phoenix Fire Insurance Company of
Brooklyn, N Y, against William Kerr,
which was first tried IN the circuit court
of Nebraska. Kerr gave an option on
certain property which was insured in
the Phoenix company for $780, and while
the option was in force the property was
destroyed by fire. The company contested
payment of the policy on the ground
that in giving the option Kerr ceased to
be unconditional owner of the property.
The court holds in this opinion that the
original owner remains such -uncondi-
tionally unless the option is closed by pur-
chase

the schools brings in but about $4,000 a
year it is not the amount of money for
which we are fighting, but for the pres
ervation Of the water system.
Mr.. Caulfeld also argued that some
provision should be made whereby
bonds can be issued for the benefit
of the water department in case OF
great necessity. The principal reason
urged for this was that the time will
soon come when the system must be
extended.
"The water department is making a
clear profit Of $4,000 a year. he de-
clared, "butgwes need this for extend
ing mains and keeping up the plant.
Many people have applied for water
and we cannot lay the mains, being
short of money"
The vote whereby the decision was
reached to enforce the giving of free
water to the scity departments and
denying any means whereby bonds can
be issued for the benefit of the depart
ment were. reconsidered and the pro-
visions will be finally passed upon
some time IN the future.
