THE WISCONSIN SPLIT.
1t Offers an Opportunity For the
Democrats to Win.

It Offers an Opportunity For the
Democrats to Win.
The Republican tangle in Wisconsin
is growing more and more interesting
as time passes. 1t is admitted by the
Evening Wisconsin, stalwart organ of
Milwaukee, that the La Toilette men
are the regulars now, but that they
will become boilers after the national
convention refuses to seat their dele
gates at large. That paper also de-
clares that the president is known. to
be in sympathy with those who bolted
the state convention. In recent issue
it says:
''If the national convention decides
against the third termers and they re-
fuse to obey, they will become rebels
against the regular organization of the
Republican party Of the United States
and will have to submit. We have rea-
son to know that President Roosevelt
sympathizes with Senators Spooner
and Quarles in the course they have
adopted at Madison and that he will
exert an immense influence on the ma.
tional convention"
In a later issue the same paper reit-
crates this proposition, which has no
doubt been inspired by the two sena-
tors. who evidently have the assurance
Of Postmaster General Payne and Pres.
ident Roosevelt that the stalwart fol.
lowers will after that time be treated
as boilers by the national committee
and the Roosevelt administration,
which will exert their influence for the
election of the Cook state ticket as well
as the Roosevelt electors. La Follette's
friends will undoubtedly retaliate

COMPLAINT IS AMENDED
CHANGE IN VALUE OF MILLS IN
SHEVLIN SUIT is MADE By
STIPULATION. s t

Several hours were spent this morn
ing by the attorneys in the case Of E. c.
Shevlin against r. H. Sbevlin his brother,
in amending the stipulation, the COM
plant fixing the value of the sawmills Of
the Crookston and ST. Hilaire companies
at 100000 instead Of $4,000, the original
pleading.
In the original pleading it was thought
sufficient to allege that the value of the
two plants was upwards of $7O,00O," it
being supposed that if plaintiffs could
prove that it was worth $10O, 900 and had
been transferred wrongfully they could re-
cover for that amount. Judge Simpson
ruled that If the complaint stated that
the plants were valued at $4,000 or up
wards, $4,000 was the maximum amount
that could be recovered. In vain the
plaintiff pleaded that the facts as to the
value of the mills were in the hands Of
the defense and could not be brought into
court except by the magnanmity of the
defendant brother. The stipulation to
amend the complaint, fixing the value
high enough to cover any possible judg-
ment resulted.
Edward C. Shevlin, the plaintiff, was
on the stand all the morning in redirect
examination, conducted by A. B. Jackson.
An effort was made to show the profits of
the two mills, but the tumble Of figures
impelled Judge Simpson to ask that that
part of the evidence be submitted in
writing. The subject of the letters, some
Of which had been read previously in
court, was referred to and some minor
explanations made =. j..

LOW FREIGHTS
HURT SHIPPING
NOT MUCH MONEY IN SIGHT FOR
f.t. .., THIS YEAR.
One-Cent Rate On Wheat from Du-
luth to Buffalo Not Profitable
West-BOund Coal Rates Lower to
Duluth than to Milwaukee and
Chicago.

Duluth, July 11.-Freights on the great
lakes are at low ebb, and wheat is being
taken from here to Buffalo for l cent a
bushel This rate has been touched sew
eral times IN the past: but has never been
long maintained, and stands as practically
the bottom figure. 1t is 1000 miles to Buff
falo and this rate means 32 of a mill per
ton per mile. Package freighters belong
ing to the trunk lines are so anxious to
get business that they are falling over
themselves to book wheat and flax at this
price. There are about 100000 bushels of
grain in store here, and it is going for
ward slowly in spite of this rate
The freight from Chicago to Buffalo is
only three-quarters of a cent bushel on
grain, but there is little to be moved from
there. e.. .-
Coal freights from Lake Erie ports to the
head Of Lake Superior are 40 cents a ton,
and to Chicago and Milwaukee are so
cent. They are higher for the shorter dis
tance than to Duluth for the reason that
there is so little remunerative return busi-
ness from Chicago, and ships carrying
coal to Lake Michigan ports often come
here to load ore Or lumber for the down
trip.
Iron ore freights this year are 20 cents
gross ton from Duluth and adjoining
ports 65 from Marquette, and SIS from Es-
canada, on Lake Michigan. This is Is
cents under the rate Of last year. For
any ship of 5000 tons or less there is no
trade, and that is carried on by a class
of ships especially adapted forsY1t The
delay in opening navigation until June
does not appear to have helped freights
materially, tho the vesselmen had strong
hopes that it would u, ,,sss. " N

BAD TOOTH YARN
SOUNDED FISHY
Patrolman Bow Followed the Suf-
ferer and Stopped Safe
Robbery.

Just couldn't Sleep" said the night
prowler to Patrolman John Bow.
"Toothache," he added, as such a pal
pable afterthought that Bows suspi-
cions were aroused.
1t was this chance melting that pre-
vented the blowing of the safe at
Kruckebergs drugstore, Twenty-f1fth
street and Twenty-seventh avenue s.,
early this morning.
Bow met the man hanging around
the neighborhood and accosted him.
The lame excuse caused the patroIman
to follow the stranger unperceived and
he was seen to make a beeline for the
drugstore. Realizing what was up
Bow broke into run but the robbers
had posted a lookout who gave the
alarm. Before the patrolman could
reach the door two men broke out at
run and sped off down the street,
their flight being accelerated by shots
from the officers revolver.
Investigation showed that the rob-
bers had cut a hole in the rear door
and raised the heavy iron bar that
held it in place. The cracks around
the door of the safe had been stopped
with soap and nitroglycerine poured
into the cavity thus formed. The fuse
had been attached and was ready to
light when Bow appeared on the
scene.
Postal station No. Is is located in
the drugstore so the robbery, If car
ried out, would have been a more Sc
rious cffense than the cracking Of q
mere mercantile safe.

MONEY QUESTION
IS NOT AN ISSUE
GOLD LEANINGS DON'T HURT
PARKER WITH LIND.
The Latter Returns from st. Louis
with Cordial Endorsement Both
for the Platform and for the Demo-
cratic Party's Presidential Nominee.

Is John Lind going back on the very
principle for which he left the repub-
llcan party-free silver?
Lind has returned from the na-
t1onal democratic convention at ST..
Louis, and when seen on the subject
by e urnal this morning,
said:
THE platform adopted by the ma
tional democratic convention is ideal.
II comes as near to expressing the
best sentiments and views of the peo-
pie of this state, without regard to
party preiudices, as anything that
could be written
My support Of Judge Parker for
che nomination has been generally
known. All I can say is that I be-
lleVe he Is man who will grow in
favor with the people, and is the best
man to whom the nomination could
have been given"
But" interrupted the reporter,
Judge Parker has declared himself
in favor of the gold standard, and is
not free silver an issue which you
have long advocated?"
THE money question is no longer
an ISSUE" replied Mr.. Lind. II have
heard something about Judge Par
ker's having made some sort of state
ment on the subject in telegram,
but / left st. Louis before then, and
| have not had time to read the papers
since, SO must decline to be inter-
viewed on a subject in which am not
posted" ..

NO DUNN COMMITTEE
General Committee Will Have Charge
of Hennepin County.

r. c.. Dunn, republican nominee for
governor, will havef no special COM
mittee in Hennepin county to take
charge of his campaign for election,
but will leave it all to the general
county committee. ge.@.
Dunn and his managers feel that
with the presidential election occur
ring at the same time as the state
election, that the head of the national
ticket will sweep the head of the
state ticket to victory, in spite of the
rift there is within the republican
party over the gubernatorial situa-
ton.
The general election organization
within Hennepin county the coming
campaign will consist Of nearly thou
sand men. Each precinct and voting
district has Il precinct or voting dis
trict committee of five members.
These different committees thru their
chairman, will work in harmony with
the central county committee. And as
far as Mr.. Dunn is concerned. there
will be two members of the county
committee who will be always awake
to his nterests-Thomas H. Girling,
who will probably be county chair
man, and Andrew Rain, who has had
charge Of Dunn headquarters in Min
neapolis.
Incidentally, the Dunn headquarters
are still being maintained In the Bos-
ton block on Hennepin avenue. The
big force Of clerks have disappeared,
but Rain still holds forth there.

The Dutch room of the National Ho-

Libby & Nelson and the demolition of
the old buildings began this morning. The
work will be finished by Sept. l and will

English room. .--.
The latter is to be finished in tapes

VALUATION UP
FIVE MILLION
THE CITY'S ASSESSED VALUATION
WILL BE INCREASED.
Be Made on Personal Property,
Tho Real Estate Will Receive Some
thing of Boost-Equalizers Meet.

Thru the work Of the city assessor
and the city board of equaliza ton,
the assessed valuation of Minneapolis
will probably be increased by about
$5,000,000, raising the value Of all
taxable property In the city to about
$134,00O,0O0. These figures are spec
ulative, as c. j. Minor, the city as
SCISSOR, has not yet reached his totals,
and the city and state boards Of equal
ization may change the assessors re-
port.
Mr.. Minor said this morning, how
ever, that personal property would,
in all probability, run from four to
five millions higher than 1903, and
there would be small net increase
in real estate. There has been con-
siderable reduction in real estate, par
ticularly in outside property, which
has been excessively taxed in previ-
Gus years. There have been sweep
ing reductions by successive assessors,
but Mr.. Minor apparently believes
that the unimproved lands in the
outskirts still bear more than their
share of the burden. The decrease,
however, will be more than offset by
the new buildings, which, for taxa
ton. are valued at about $3,0O0,o00.
While the assessor is not yet ready
to submit a complete. report, the
| council committee on taxes, consist
| ing Of Aldermen Sam E. Adams, E.
G. Chatfeld, Charles B. Holmes, G.
| A. Westphal and A. S. Adams, met
| this morning and were sworn in as
| the board Of equalization. The oath
| was also administered to Fred w.
Nye and Frank Gaylord after they
were elected, respectively, clerk and
assistant Of the board. Mr.. West
phal objected to the election of Mr..
Nye, as he thought some one . not
already employed in a public office
should have the place, because no
one could legally draw two salaries;
but it was shown that one familiar
with the office must be obtained, and
Mr.. Nye was well qualified. More
over, he had more than earned an
additional stipend by extra work.
Several minor applications for
abatement or deduction of assess
ments were acted upon. The board
will meet every day at 10 am. in the
council committeeroom, No. 2, at the
