MAKES NEW RULING
Court Defines Rights of Drunk
Ell Man.

A drunken man is as much entitled
to safe street in which to travel as is
a sober man, according to decision
handed down IN the district court yes
terday by Judge Kelly, and, the court
facetiously added, the drunken man
was much more in need of the safety.
This decision was arrived at by
Judge Kelly in denying a new trial to
the defendants in the personal injury
damage suit brought by John Clarke
against Philadelphia & Reading Coal
company and others, the first trial Of
which resulted in a verdict of $4,000
for the plaintiff.
Clarke fell into hole in the side
walk in front of the Astoria hotel on
Wabasha street, where an opening had
been made for the purpose Of trans
ferring load OF coal to the basement
under the walk.
Judge Kelly says the opening in the
walk was not safe; that it was nothing
less than a trap" with SO many men,
women and children walking along the
street. In their application for new
trial the defendants claimed that the
PLAINTIFF was drunk at the time he fell
into the hole, but Judge Kelly holds
that a drunken man Is Just as much
entitled to safe tlIoroughfare as Is
a, sober one.
The question of the plaintiffs So
briefly had been brought up at the
trial of the case, and Judge Kelly held
that discussion Of 1t could not be
had in the application for a new trial.
He was of the opinion that the case
had been fairly tried. and declined
to grant the defendants a new trial

City Engineer Stops Street Cleaning
Work Which Was Begun Tuesday.

The force of men engaged Tuesday

cutters in the down town streets were
Informed last night that their services
would be no longer needed at the pres

men were at work two or three blocks
on Robert street were cleared Of ice.
The men were put to work Tuesday
when it was feared by City Engineer
Rundlett that thaw was imminent.
but the return of the cold weather yes
terday dispelled all fears along this
line, and no more work Of clearing the
streets will be attempted until the
weather moderates to such a degree
that rapid thaw is threatened
All of the city streets are covered
with from eight to ten inches of snow
and ice, and should a sudden thaw oc-
cur the cutters in the lower streets,
such as Robert and Jackson, would not
be able to carry away the water.
So solid is the snow and ice now on
the streets that it was with difficulty
that the laborers were able to clear
1t away with picks.

'"The catalogue house was the cause
of our organization" declared e. III.
Loyhed, Of Faribault, addressing yes
terday afternoon. at EIks' hall, the
eighth annual convention Of the Mime
sofa Retail Hardware association; "but
I believe now that we were unneces-
sarily scared. 1 doubt it, in any local
ity, the catalogue house has gained
more than 5 per cent of the total bust
ness. But our organization has, new
ertheless, made us acquainted with
each other, has freed us from preju-
dices, has enabled us to profit from
each others experience, has benefited
us in many ways. We have reason to
thank the catalogue house for inducing
us to organize"
Mr.. Loyhead, whose theme was I'm
pressions," had pointed out the futility
of much advice distributed by we'll
meaning men from convention plat
forms. "The advice" he said, sis al
ways general; our experiences are al
ways specific; and we need more wis
dom than the adviser gives to make the
advice 1T our particular case"
AS to "Organiza tion," Frederick M
Mason, Of st. Paul, said that its ad-
vantages were not fully appreciated by
the retail merchants. They formed one
OF the most important classes of tax
payers; they were, taken together, men
OF influence and Importance; but they
seldom united to conserve their own
interests. Especially they should edT1-
cate the public upon many points Of

State May Amend Charter.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Feb. 24.-Jus-
tice White Of the supreme court Of the
United States delivered the opin-
ion of that court in the case of the
Grand Rapids & Indiana versus Chase
S. Osborne, commissioner Of railroads
for Michigan, involving the right Of
the railway commissioner Of Michigan
to enforce the state law in regard to
railway fares. The railway COM
pany was sold to it's bondholders under
a foreclosure proceeding and between
the time Of it's organization and the
time of the sale a statute was passed
providing for the reorganization of
fares. With this law the company re-
fused to comply, claiming exemption
under it's original charter, which it
claimed was a contract. The court
held this position to be unsound. Jus
tice White said that IN granting the
charter the state had not parted with
it's right to amend the provisions Of
that document.

"This has been a hard winter for

from that of the consumer. I believe
that II the entire truth were known
more damage has been done by the cold
weather during the present winter than
in any one season since the depart

this seems to be in the continuous cold
weather, rather than in the extreme

are entitled to service who have grown
tired of thawing out their service pipes

fortunate neighbors. If deep snow

IN ANNUAL SESSION

Mrs. w. S. Briggs was unanimously
reelected president of the Schubert
club at the annual meeting held yes
terday afternoon in Odeon hall. With
the exception Of Mrs. w. A. Merrill,
who resigned the office of recording
secretary, and Mrs. w. B. Dixon, who

tionally prosperous one for the Schu-
bert club. Its membership now num-
bers 439, the largest since the clubs
organization. The total receipts for
the past year were $3,339.39, and the
club has a comfortable balance. 1t was
decided at yesterdays meeting to rec
ommend to the executive board that
Odeon hall be selected for another
year as the place of meeting. 1t is
probable that the programmes will be-
gin little later next year. There are
a number Of school teachers who are
members of the club and who are not
able to reach the recital hall at 3: sc
o'clock, the hour set for the beginning
Of the programme. A member Of the
club pointed out yesterday the fact
that the musicales never begin prompt
ly at $3.50, and suggested that it would
be better to fix a later time and begir
promptly. The matter is left in the
hands Of the executive board
The various officers read their an
nual reports. The president reviewed
the work Of the past year, calling at
tention, among other things, to the fact
that this season particularly the pro-

TILT PRICE OF CAMPHOR
AND CARBOLIC ACID
War Between Russia and Japan Re-
sponsibIe for the increase.

The price of camphor has almost
doubled and the war between Russia
and Japan is charged with being re-
sponsible. Camphor enters into the
manufacture Of explosives, and the
heavy demand for it from the countries
at war caused the increase in price.
In November and December the Ioca,
wholesale druggists were selling cam
phor at from so to so cents a pound.
1t is now quoted at 95 cents. As prac-
tically all the camphor gum of COM
merce comes from the island of For
mosa 1t will be seen that the source of
supply is not distant from the seat Of
war.
AS carbolic acid is also used in the
manufacture of explosives, the whole
sale price has been somewhat in
creased.
