Maj. Frick Tells What Civilian
Physicians Did for Army

Maj. j. E. B. Frick, regimentaI sur
geon in charge of the Twenty first in
fantry regiment at Fort Smelling. read
an interesting paper last night before
the Ramsey County Medical associa-
ton at the Commercial club.
The meeting was one of the largest
ever held by the association, 125 mem
bers being in attendance. There were
present several visiting physicians
from Minneapolis and a few of the Of
Ulcers from Fort Smelling were also
there.
Maj. Prick had with him his army
chests, and explained in detail the
uses of each chest. He told the civilian
doctors of the methods employed by
the army medical department, and
gave the medical men outside the army
great credit for the efficiency of the
army service.
1T was through the efforts of the
civilian doctors and medical societies
that we Of the army first gained rec
ognition at Washington" said Mai.
Prick. Your work in bringing pres
sure to bear upon the war department
for the improvement of the army med
zeal department brought about it's pres
ent efficiency. You made the war de-
partment recognize us as a useful aux
iliary You gained for us the position
we now hold in the service. 1t was
through your work that the doctors in
the army were given their own rank
of colonel, major and captain. True
the physicians in the service aided in
this work, but we would have been
powerless had it not been for the great
cooperation of the civilian doctors
and the various medical associations"
Following the reading of the paper
there was general discussion, in
which Drs. Ritchie, Greer OBrien and
Pine participated. A banquet preceded
the meeting.

Rlngllng Bros show yesterday PLAYED
two performances in Minneapolis to
larger crowds than ever before were
put under canvas in that town. The
SHOW has grown to enormous size, The
big tent will hold about 10000 people.
The menagerie annex is almost as big
and the animal collection it contains
is the most valuable in America.
Among the odd creatures of wild ma
ture to be seen in this department of
the great show are the only rhinocerous
IN the country, CRATES, a horned
morse, baby tigers. panthers, forty ele-
phants and a real baby elephant, still
unWeaned. The circus acts are given
IN three rings on two stages and amid
forest OF overhead trappings. The
hlppodrome race is run on a track one
quarter of a mile long.
The spectacle of Jerusalem and the
CruSadeS opens the performance and
runs about thirty minutes. The costun-
ing of this feature is lavish in the ex-
IRENE and the music and ballet spe-
c1alties as We'll as the athletic pastimes
introduced are new. There are 200
girls in the ballet and chorus and the
music is furnished by band of fifty
pieces and tremendous portable S.
stop pipe organ.
Nearly all the circus artists are new
to the Northwest, and make their first
appearance in America with Ringing
Bros. The four Eldreds from Eng
land; the four Bedinis from Italy the
seven Clinserrettis, from Germany: the
Tasmanian troupe, from Australia, and
the eight COlini- Cairons, from France.
are among these. The riding feats of
the Eidreds and Bedinis are novel, and
made great hit. The Dacoma family.
Dollard troupe, Rio brothers, Forums
brothers, Flying Fishers, three Alvos,
Tybell sisters, Genaro and Theol,
Kaufman family and Jackson family
are foremost in long list of circus
celebrities. The trained elephants, per-
forming seals and educated horses, are
striking numbers in the big circus pro-
gramme.
The sensational thriller of the pro-
gramme is the much talked-of Leap
ing the Gap" Walter Lave, the per-
former, who dares death by a desperate
ride down an almost perpendicular
plane about two feet wide and then
flies on his wheel through space-a
distance of fifty-two feet-landing on
padded incline, causes a sensation.

THEY STOP WORKING
Bricknakefs Quit, but Com.
pany Says There Are Only 10


Brickmakers. to the number of fiftyv
according to the union, and ten accord
ing to the officers of the ST. Paul Brick
company, struck yesterday at the West
Side plant.
The union men assert that they yes
terday induced twelve non-union men
to join the strike, and that there is
promise of more joining them today
This, the men say, gives them good
reason for believing that they will win
the contest with the company, and that
they will be taken back and permitted
to maintain their membership in the
union.
Fritz Koch, president of the brick
company, directly contradicts the
statements of the strikers saying that
the concern originally employed but
seventy men. Seven were discharged
for agitating unionism, ten struck on
the order from the union, and all the
others remain.
Mr.. Koch says that he does not OBJ
ject to the strikers picketing the yards,
if they do not resort to violence. Mr.
Koch admits that he told the members
of the union that they must stop agi-
tating if they desired to remain in the
employ of the company

WORK IS STOPPED
ON NEW THEATER
Men Employed on the Criterion
Quit Owing to Nonpayment
of Wages

Work on the new Criterion theater,
Ninth and Robert streets. has been
suspended since Thursday of last week
and the men who have been employed
on the building have daily appeared
and asked for their money in vain.
On Saturday, June Is, the first indi-
cation of the financial embarrassment
was made evident, when the company
gave the twenty-five workmen en-
ployed time checks, instead of bank
checkS or money. A number of the
men pawned their orders with business
men in the neighbOrhood, but when the
orders were presented to L. w. Wilson,
In charge for the company, they We're
not paid. AS a result the men quit
work Thursday. On Saturday a part
of the number were paid 20 per cent of
the amount due them, and promised
that the full amount would be forth
coming yesterday. Such was not the
case, however.
w. F. Hunt, attorney for the COM
pany, yesterday made this statement
OF the causes leading up to the sus-
pension of work:
The building is being erected by the
Criterion Theater company. a Mime
sofa corporation, the contractor being
Frank 2. Mcclure of Chicago. The
collection on the capital stock has not
been as regular as might be wished,
and when payments were not made
to Mcclure he stopped work Matters
are being arranged and it is expected
that the mechanics will be paid to-
morrow and work resumed"
The construction has progressed to
the extent that the brick work is sew
eral feet high, but the bricklayers as
sert that they have not received any
pay since they began work. The stone
masons were paid for putting in the
foundation.

acting as attorney for the Midway
citizens committee, and were placed in
the hands of the sheriff for service,
with the understanding that the slot
machines were to be seized at once and
the men brought into court today. The
charge is made under the state law,
which provides for a maximum fine of
5000 or six months in JAIL or both,
which takes the case beyond the juris-
diction of the police court and makes
the defendants subject to indictment.
In order to be prepared to prove that
the slot machines are gambling devices
members of the committee have tested
them and claim that winning can be
male on an, average of one time out of
four, and have prepared a statement
showing that the machines are gam
bling devices entirely. This is the ex-
PLANTATION on which it is proposed to
prove that playing the machines is
gambling:
Drop a nickel in the slot, press the
lever all the way down and let go.
The number played will be indicated
by the nickel at the little front win
dow, and the cards straight across
from corresponding numbers show
winners. The winning hands are:
Royal flush. 100 cigars; straight flush,
so cigars; four of a kind, 30 cigars;
full hand, 20 cigars: flush, 10 cigars;
straight, s cigars; three of a kind,
cigars two pair, cigars; pair of jacks
or better, cigars"

COUNTY BOARD GETS
INTO A DEADLOCK
Registers Tie Vote on Motion to 40
propriate Money for Road Repairs

With as much grace as possible three
of the six county commissioners yes
terday voted in favor of accepting the
dictum Of County Attorney Kane and
appropriate money for road repairs to
township supervisors.
Those who thought this a good solu-
ton were Messrs. Powers, Wright and
Pottgieser, and those opposed Messrs.
Nash, Gray and Seng. The proposition
came from Mr.. Powers, who introduced
a resolution authorizing the appropria-
ton of the following amounts to the
townships mentioned: Rose, $1,000:
Mounds View. $1,575; New Canada.
$1,000; White Bear, $1,625; total. $4,000.
The resolution was defeated by a tie
vote.
1t was agreed that the township SUI
pervisors will be invited to meet with
the board Monday and if possible agree
upon basis of settlement that will
prove possible.
The contractor for the second White
Bear we'll reported that he had struck
water at 800 feet, and the committee in
charge of this project was instructed to
inspect and report if the volume of wa
ter is sufficient.

JUDGE S, L.FULLER CLAIMS |LLEGALITY Says His Opponent Used Money
 to Bribe. BURKE DENIES CHARGES Seventh District Republicans Are Get. ting Busy anl Trouble Seems

 body's Camp.
BURKE DENIES CHARGES

Cullman. April 13.-Judge & L. Fuller, who was defeated in the race for pro- bate judge in the democratic primary Monday, has announced his intention to contest the election, alleging that pop ulists and republicans were allowed to participate illegally. He claims that fif- teen precincts out of the twenty-four are contestable, claiming that these fifteen beats gave Robert G. Burke, his oppo- nent, 4S9 illegal votes. He also claims that Burke used thousands of dollars to buy votes and corrupt the people.
 In an interview with your eorrespon- dent, Judge Fuller expressed his inten- ton to contest but said he would fully decide tonight in consultation with some of his friends He claims the nomina- ton of the democratic voters.
 The Hon. J. G. Brown the secretary of Mr Burkes campaign committee, was also interviewed and said;
 No money has been used by Mir Burke or his supporters to corrupt the voters in any way In the first place we don't possess it in such quantities as we can afford to spend it gratuitiously on our friends. and we do not represent the money interest. We are with the masses and it is only through hearty hgh-toned moral sentiment that MT. Burke has won.
  and republicans who voted in the pri- mary but they are white men and were reured to take the pledge prescribed by the great democratic party through it's state executive committee.
 Judge Fuller received his share of the republican vote and he has been honestly defeated in a party fight and should show his democracy by falling into line.
 Republicans Are Active.
 The republican convention for this eeun- ty will be held here next Saturday and full county ticket will be put in the field. A brass band has been engaged for the occasion and there will be some fine speakers on hand Luther Hays will probably receive the nomination for pro- bate judge Mir. Hays is a very popular man and the republicans are promising the democrats a lively race this summer
 There is pretty little mess matching in the republican ranks in the Seventh congressional district. George Beyer is the nominee of the regular republicans in the district for congress. It is understood that some dissatisfied republicans and some populists who have heretofore al- iigned with the republicans have devel oped an opposition to MT. Beyer that promises a pretty mess. It Is understood thae this faction is being led by James J. Curtis Walter Powell, R. B. Thomp son and others. The populists. who were expected to support the republican nom- inees, are interested in this opposition
