NEW RATES ON THEATERS
INSURANCE COMPANIES PUT
THEM INTO A SEPARATE GLASS
AND WILL REVISE SCHEDULES.

Theaters will be the next fire in
surance risks to be classified in Min
neapolis. This is in accordance with
q regular tariff made for theaters
only by the Western Union Of under
writer's, Of which the local board Is
part. It may mean an advance for
some Of the local theaters and posi-
bly, a reduction in the case Of others.
In other words, a tariff has been
adopted for theaters as a class which
will be applied in the regular course
of business in Minneapolis.
Some months ago q revision Of Min
neapolis began. Under the rules GER
tain deficiencies in watch service and
fire protection reduced the rate, while
credit was given for certain extra ap-
planes and precautions to fight the
fire fiend or to prevent fire. Saw
mills are classed by themselves, grain
elevators, machine shops and SO on
thru the list; but theaters are still
insured under rates made by the local
board as in the case of any unsched-
uled risks. At the time other risks
were revised, no schedule was made
for theaters. After the Iroquois the
alter fire, a regular tariff for play
houses was put in preparation and
has been issued about thirty days.
This does not mean a horizontal adj
vance, but an adjustment on the COM
pensation plan. 1t Is understood by
insurance men that the new theate1
tariff was based on considerations in
volved in the Chicago theater fire.

VAN SAINT IS
KEEPING MUM
DECLINES TO DISCUSS HIS VICE
PRESIDENTIAL BOOM.
Republicans from Other States Take
the Proposition Seriously, but Fac
HOnal Opposition to the Governor at
Home Is Likely to Keep Him Out of
the Contest.

Governor S. r. Van SAINTS boom for
vice president is progressing without
any help from the governor himself;
neither is he doing anything to head
it off. He returned to-day from a
business trip to Dubuque, but de-
clined to talk for publication on the
subject.
It is known that the governor has
received number of letters on the
subject from leading men in other
western states, urging him to become
candidate, but he has refrained
from any declaration on the subject.
The mention of his name does not dis
please him, apparently.
Strangely as it seems, there Is more
serious consideration Of the Van SAINT
candidacy as a possibility in other
states, like Illinois, Iowa and Kansas,
than in Minnesota. Governor Cum
Minis Of Iowa is understood to favor
Van SAINT, and the Chicago Inter
Ocean, since Fairbanks seems unwil-
| ling to run refers to Van SAINT as the
leading possibility. Minnesota repub-
licans do not seem to be aware thai
they have a possibility in their midst
The governors friends do not expec
him to become a candidate, for the
reason that he is still unpopular with
a number Of leaders in the party or
account of his merger record, and ir

he would have to be given united sup.

DIR. BRACKEN CAN'T SERVE
HIS DUTIES WILL NOT PERMIT
HIM TO ACT ON THE LOCAL
WATER COMMISSION.

DR.. H. M. Bracken, secretary Of the
state board of health has informed the
council committee on waterworks that
his official duties will preclude his
serving as member Of the municipal
pure water commission and he can
not accept an appointment. He says
that he is heartily in favor of the
commission, believing that it will
prove of immense benefit to the COM
nittee. All the records and data in
his office will be at the disposition of
that body. 8
DR.. Bracken's name consequently
will not be presented to the council
this evening. If any attempt is made
to fill the vacancy either Health Com
missioner P. M. Hall or DR.. j. Frank
Corbett will be named, but the
chances are largely in favor of the
plan proposed by Chairman F. L.
Schoonmaker of the water committee
who proposes to limit the commission
to three members, these to be Allen
Hazen Of New York. F. w. Cappelen
and Professor F. A. Bass of the state
uniyerSity. -E..5

DEATH FASTENED
By EARTHQUAKE
DIR. MONAHAN TELLS OF RECENT
MAINE DISTURBANCES.
His Mother Was Critically Ill and the
Shock Proved Fatal to Her-Report
of the Sinking of Bald Mountain
Seems Well Confirmed.

DR.. j. A. Monahan has returned
to Minneapolis after a sojourn at st.
Stephens, New Brunswick. He was
called there by the serious illness Of
his mother, which terminated in her
death about a week ago. It is the
belief of DR.. Monahan that his moth
ers death was a result of the seismic
suited in the total disappearance Of
Bald mountain, a famous summer re-
sort near Bangor, Maine.
The disturbance came about 1
o'clock in the morning, two weeks
ago Sunday night" said DR.. Monahan,
this morning. II was up at the time.
first heard a sound like the APP
proach of a terrible wind. There was
a slight tremor of the earth, which
grew and grew until the house
rocked. Glasses on the table fairly
jumped into the air and fell over.
The windows ratified with the increase
Of the disturbance. The first noise
heard continued and was augmented
by the noises Of falling chimneys and
breaking glass. Chimneys were fall
ing from some Of the houses, and the
terrified occupants were leaving their
| homes and running into the streets.
| The first shock lessened, and finally

st. Stephens is about one hundred
miles from Bald mountain. I did not
visit the place where the mountain
is said to have sunk from sight, nor
did I talk with anyone who did. IT
was the common report tho that the
mountain had sunk out Of sight and
that the place where it stood was
covered with mud and water. I can
not vcuch for the truthfulness of that
as I did not see it.

SAFE IS BL0WN
Experts Use Nitroglycerin at

Nitroglycerine, evidently in the
hands of professional safe blowers,
was used last night to blow open the
safe in the meat market of Frank
Young, 604 Hennepin avenue The
safe was badly wrecked and 500 was
stolen.
The safe blowers gained an en-
trance by prying open the cellar door.
So quietly did they work and so care
fully did they time the explosion that
the robbery was not discovered until
the shop was opened this morning.
Detectives Hicks and Smith have
been detailed on the case, but have

INCREASE IN BUILDING
First Quarter of 1904 Shows Up Well Com
pared With 1903.

pared With 1908.
When plumbing and electrical permits
are included, Minneapolis building opera
lions in the first quarter Of 1904 show a
considerable increase over the amount Of
work taken out during the first quarter Of
last year The amount involved In purely
structural work was somewhat less, owing
no doubt to the late season, but taking all
branches OF building into consideration
there is more new work going on.
Thus during the first quarter of 1903 the
building inspector issued 1,29S permits at
whereas for the first three months Of the
present year the number Of permits was
1,474 and the estimated cost s1,322, 900, or
an increase of almost 100000.
