DIFFER OYER HANDY MEN
FOUNDERS AND Il MOLDERSi AND
THEIR EMPLOYERS FACE sERI-
Gus DIFFICULTY RELATING TO
ANNUAL SCALE.

Local founders and molders are fac
ing the possibility of a radical disa-
greement with their employers on the
much discussed apprentice question.
But both sides to the controversy hope
that the second meeting between their
committees will result in an agree
ment for the working year, which be-
gins May l.
During the past year the local foun-
dries have run on the basis Of one
apprentice to each eight molders,
which, the employers say, works a
hardship on the foundries because it
is gradually reducing the supply Of
molders below the demand limit.
In addition is the difficulty Of en-
ploying handy men, for rough work.
This the molders will. not allow, but
it is regarded as necessary by employ
ers. Some handy men" have been
employed by the local foundries, but
the union men see danger because Of
the possibility Of educating the re-
cruits into skilled nonunion molders.
In obedience to the union employees
protest much foundry work has thus
been sent into nonunion country shops
to the disadvantage Of the local firms.
It is this question Of the employment
Of handy men" which promises the
most trouble.
There Is. however, less probability
Of a strike this year than there was at
the time Of the dispute year ago,
because the market is slack and the
supply of stock on hand large. Last
year labor was much harder to get in
the foundry line than it is now. Mel
ther side to the controversy is be1liger-

WILL TROLLEY
LINE Be BUILT?
COMMISSIONERS EXPRESS DOUBT
OF COMPANY'S SINCERITY.
Proposed Route of New Road to Ano-
ka Is Discussed-Power Company
Insists ON Location Which Can
Hardly Be Granted-Com commissioners
Will Inspect Proposed Routes.

Will the Minnesota Power and Troll
ley company use the franchise which
it has secured for building an electric
line over Hennepin county roads to
Anoka?
This question was discussed unof-
fcially at a meeting Of the county
commissioners this morning to con-
slider the proposed route. Some Of the
commissioners believe that the new
company is not anxious to build the
line, now that it is found that so
much work will have to be done and
large amount spent.
In support of this belief are cited
the apparent indifference Of the Off
GERS Of the company and the fact that
the route they insist on is one that
can hardly be granted. E'S1s$s'F Ply.
On the other hand, it is urged that
the company is under $4,000 bond to
begin work by May 1; that a route
has been surveyed and that there are
many other evidences Of good faith.
After a rambling discussion of the
route mapped out by the company and
after weighing the objections made by
cycle clubs against allowing the bicy-
Gle path to Champlin to be used as the
right Of way, the commissioners ad-
journed until Saturday morning. This
afternoon and tomorrow they will 60
over the various routes.

WOMAN PUNCHES SHERIFF
DREGER SAYS EXTRA HELP IS
NEEDED IF INSANE PERSONS
ARE SENT TO COUNTY JAIL.
Himself suffering from a punch il

Himself suffering from a punch in
the nose given by Mother" Mccoy,
and with two Of his deputies laid up
for repairs by savage attacks, Sher-
if j. w. Dreger has decided that the
county Jail is no place for insane per-
sons, and especially for those afflict-
ed with delirium tremens. He be-
lieves that the city should have a. de-
tention hospital for this class Of pris-
oners,. or if they must be kept in the
county Jail, he must have special help.
In a communication sent to the
county commissioners, the sheriff
states that he has been informed by
Judge Of Probate f. C. Harvey that,
under the law, the sheriff is obliged
to accept delirium tremens patients
when brought to Jail, with or without
a warrant. He writes:
1--WE have a great deal of trouble
with the insane people in our Jail.
1t is not a proper place for those af-
fected in that way. The assistant
jailor came near losing his eye, the
jailor received a dangerous kick from
a crazy man, and the sheriff was
punched in the nose by Mother Nc
Coy. There ought to be a detention
hospital provided by the city for such
cases.
TN the event Of our having to- care
for them I must respectfully ask your
honorable body for extra help"

HAD : HUSBANDS;
one In THIS CITY
New York Woman's Non Support
Case Minneapolis Man a
Factor.

Charles Taylor. said now to reside
in Minneapolis, figures prominently in
the trial in New York city of Charles
Pickard, 81 Cranberry street, Brook
lyn, charged with abandoning his sick
wife, Louise.
From evidence brought out yester-
day, 1t appears that the woman was
married to Charles Taylor, then an at
tendant at Bellevue hospital, twenty
three years ago. After several years
Of married life, Taylor disappeared,
leaving his wife and young daughter.
Attempts to find him were unsuccess-
full and later, report was received in
Brooklyn that Taylor had died from
wounds received over a gambling
table in Washington.
Shortly after the report of Taylor''s
death, his wife married Charles Pick
ard, a machine operator on the New
York World. They lived happily to-
gether until Pickard received unques-
tionable evidence that Taylor was not
dead but thar he had been living Sin
Minneapolis for eight years. He then
left hic wife.
pickard denies that he abandoned
his wife because his marriage with
her was illegal and says that he Of
fered to give her home. The case
has been continued until May Is.

soLBERG's POINT TITLES
Question of Validity Raised-An Old
Trust Deed.

An application to register the title
Of a ten-acre tract Of land north OF St.
Adams bay, Lake Minnetonka, has
raised a question as to the validity Of
the titles held by different persons to
1870 acres of lake property, including
Solberg's Point. Albert Phelps, hav-
ing secured the rights of the children
Of Charles J.. and Mary Westlake, APP
pears as objector to the registration.
The property in dispute was pur-
chased by Mr.. Westlake about fifty
years ago. A few years after the pur-
chase he issued a trust deed which
provided that the property should not
be disposed Of until after he and his
wife were dead. Later Mrs. Westlake
made application to the probate court
asking that the land be sold for the
benefit Of the children. This applica-
ton was granted, the division was
made in legal form, and, as q result,
some 200 purchasers are now inter-
ested.
Mr.. Phelps contention is that the
trust deed was equivalent to a WILL
and that the sale under the probate
court order Is null and void. The case
was argued and submitted to Judge
Simpson yesterday afternoon.

MAKING; It EASY
TO GET BOOKS
PUBLIC LIBRARIAN INCREASING
BRANCH LIBRARY FACILITIES.
Placards Tell East Side Folk OF the
Advantages at the New Library
There Radical Changes for Better
Are Being Made at the South
Branch.

= E Z + II s. F., 4 s < i = #-@
The chief tenet in the policy of the
public librarian, Miss Gratia Country
man, is to bring the library facilities
to the notice of all the people Of the
city and to make fully accessible to
them all the books that are worth
reading. In pursuance Of this policy
she has issued a placard for the new
East Side library, and has had this
distributed to all the manufacturing
establishments on the East Side and
to other points frequented by the pub
lie. Each placard has been accom-
panied by a letter requesting the en-
ployer or person receiving it to post
it conspicuously. The beautiful new
branch offers the best Of library facili-
ties for practically unlimited num-
Der of patrons and the library authori-
ties wish to see the facilities fully
used.
The south branch has been under
going improvements that are being
advertised in similar way, and thru
announcements in the schools. This
is one of the Oldest branches, but it's
quarters have been SO unattractive
and poorly equipped that it has suf-
fered in its work. Located at Bloom
ington and Franklin avenues, it is an
important center Of influence, as it
is surrounded by. a large foreign popu-
lation. For that reason it is the de-
pository of the Scandinavian books.
Among the benefits being conferred
on the south branch patrons is the
overhauling Of the Scandinavian col
lection. This is to be filled out and
freshened up by the purchase Of $500
worth of new books. This will bring
the collection up to 5000, making it
one of the largest and best Scandi-
navian libraries in America. These
foreign books are much used by schol-
ars as well as by the foreign speaking
population. The newcomers who can't
read English also want papers and
periodicals, and it is the purpose to
provide these more largely. An I'M
explained but very noticeable increase
in the use of the Scandinavian books
has been noted recently; this is usual
ly an Indication of large influx of
recent immigrants. "
The south branch Is we'll supplied
with reference material, encyclopedias
and sets of bound magazines and the
facilities for study are excellent. Being
in a region Of schools, the use of the
reference books of the branch is an
important part of the work. In this
the librarian, H. Askeland, takes a
deep interest and is very helpful. He
takes much pride in the improvements
venient devices for facilitating work
are of his own contrivance. The ma
terial improvements include a fine
oak delivery desk, new oak shelving
and additional lights. The building
has been made cheerful and inviting
by new paper and fresh paint.

A GOOD INVESTMENT.
Don't Be Penny-Wise and Pound
Poor-Follow the Advice Of Prom
inent Physician.

George M. Moore M. D., in the Ameri-
can Health Journal says: 1.-THE one laxa-
tive which has merit is Rea Bros Casca-
rim, made from roots. herbs, barks, plants
and berries, natures true remedies, and
has given universal satisfaction. 1t
would be an excellent investment for
any one to keep this remedy near at
hand. The digestive organs, often need
a laxative tonic to aid them in their
work, which every one makes doubly
hard through carelessness. Rea Bros.
Cascarin cleanses the bowels thorough
ly, strengthens the stomach, stimulates
the liver and increases the flow of bile
This results in more of the food being
digested and purer blood being produced
Pure blood will overcome any disease.

plexion clear and healthy. No one can
afford to be without bottle Of Cas-
carin, for 1t only costs so cents a bottle.

entirely satisfactory. At all leading drug
