new ELECTRIC LINE
viii Be Built From South St.
Paul to White Rock.

Articles of incorporation were yes
terday filed with the secretary of state
for the Pioneer Electric company,
which is organized to build an electric
line from South st. Paul to White
Rock, Goodhue county, distance of
approximately fifty miles. The capital
stock of the new corporation is $780,
600, and the incorporators are: Pliny
w. McAllister, Herman f. Johnson,
Fremont d. Woodbury. and B. L. Coop
er, of Minneapolis, and Anton w.
Holmes, of st. Paul.
Mr.. Holmes is a commission man
with business on Third street. He
was seen last night and said:
THE projected electric line is an in
dependent proposition. 1t will be built
from South St. Paul to White Rock,
through one of the best agricultural
districts in the state, a distance of
about fifty miles, The proposed line
will carry both freight and passen-
gers, delivering the business to South
ST. Paul The survey is not made as
yet, but the articles of incorporation
permit our entrance into both st. Paul
I and Minneapolis"
Rumor credits the Twin City Rapid
Transit company with an intention Of
extending it's West st. Paul lines to
South ST. Paul, and it is possible that
the Pioneer Electric company's line
is to be a feeder for Mr.. Lowry's sys-
tenn.

TO UNITE
New Organization Takes in All
Spanish War Men.

Veterans Of the army and navy serv-
ice-in the. Spanish American war will
organize a big camp of the United Vet
erens of the Spanish-American War at
a meeting to be held at the state capt.
tot next Tuesday night.
The organization of the ST. Paul
comp is the direct result of the con-
solidation of the three warning organ
izatjons formed of survivors of the
Spanish war. This merger was brought
about recently at Indianapolis and the
three national organizations now in
the United Veterans are the Spanish
American War Veterans, the Spanish
War Veterans and the Service Men of
the Spanish War.
AS a result of the peace conference
OF the warriors, the word has gone out
to organize local. -camps of the United
Veterans, and as there are from 500 to
1000 men in st. Paul eligible to mem
bership in the new organization, it is
expected that the meeting to be held
in the senate chamber will be largely
attended. The. sentiment of the per-
feCtion of an organization along the
general lines of the united society has
been growing for the past two years,
and it is said that the St. Paul men are
enthusiastically in favor of recruiting
members for a new camp of the ma
tionQl society.
The new camp will not interfere in
the least with the local camp, Army
of the Philippines, for that organiza-
TONS membership is limited to men
who saw service in the islands. Mime
sofa furnished but one regiment that
crossed the Pacific, while there were
three regiments = the Twelfth, Four
tenth and Fifteenth-raised for volun-
teer service, but who were not sent to
the islands.
Maj. Oscar Seebach, of the adjutant
generals Office, and formerly major in
the Thirteenth Minnesota, is the NOV
ing spirit for the capitol meeting Tues
day night, and it is expected that as a
result of this meeting not only will a
big camp of United Veterans be or
ganized, but that the Spanish Ameri-
can war veterans will participate in the
Memorial day parade.

who is well known to the police, being
one of the trio who escaped She was
charged with robbing a stranger. Peter

an indictment. Another case in which
no indictment was found was in the
case of Charles Eisenmenger, charged
with having unlawfully in his posses
sion fish which were out of season.
Three Different Robberies.
Three different robberies figure in
the indictments returned, the places

are held for the robbery of the Fabel
shoe store. Combs and Pfendler are
also indicted in connection with the
robbery Of Ferguson's saloon last
Monday night, at which time $50 in
cash was stolen from the safe and slot
machines.
The five men were arraigned before
Judge Bum yesterday afternoon and
all pleaded not guilty.
The grand jury, in making its re-
port yesterday, reported to Judge
Bum that it had farther investiga-
tons 10 make, and was excused for
one week. A committee was named to
look into certain matters having 10
do with the morals of the city, and
report of this committee will be made
to the grand jury next Friday. 1t was
rumored yesterday afternoon that this
committee would stir up things, as a

kept busy for several more days.

WILL GREET FAMOUS
BELL OF LIBERTY
Its Visit to St. Paul Viii Be Oc-
caslOn of a Patriotic Dem.
Onstration.

The visit to st. Paul of the famous
Liberty bell will be made the occasion
of a patriotic demonstration in this
city Monday, June 6, if the plans of
a special committee appointed yester-
day by the Commercial club to make
arrangements for the event are carried
out
The bell will arrive in st. Paul Sun
day night, June 5, at 9:35 o'clock, on a
special train of six cars over the Mil
waukee road, and will remain here till
the following day at noon, when it will
be taken to Minneapolis. 1t is proposed
to have the bell placed in such a posi-
ton that everyone in st. Paul desiring
to view the relic may have a chance to
do so. The public schools will be closed
half a day to give the children an OPP
portunity to see the bell, and the
mayor, city council, G. A. R., Sons of
Veterans and Army of the Philippines
will participate in the exercises.
A reception will be rendered to
Mayor John Weaver, of Philadelphia,
and a party of sixty, including his Off
cial cabinet, council committees and
guests, who will travel on the special
train bearing the bell. The reception
will be held Monday morning, but the
place has not yet been selected.
Police Will Guard 1t.
Special police protection will be given
the bell by the city authorities while
the priceless relic is in st. Paul. The
party escorting the bell maintain a
constant guard, but the police Depart
ment of this city will provide detail
of men while the bell is here.
The committee of the Commercial
club, to which Mayor Smith has dele
gated authority to make plans for the
occasion, consists of Judge John w.
Willis, chairman; Judge E. P. Sanborn,
E. c. Stringer. Henry A Boardman, E.
S. Chittenden, Alexander E. Horn, Da
RUS F. Reese and Charles Stees.
The councils of Philadelphia have APP
propriated $4,000 to defray the ex-
penses of taking the bell to ST. Louis,
where it will be on exhibition on the
exposition grounds. The authorities
having charge of it yielded to demands
from this part of the country to have
the national relic brought to the fair in
a roundabout way to give the people a
chance to view it while en- route. After
leaving Minneapolis, where it will be
taken from st. Paul, it will be removed
to st. Louis. 1t is possible that the
bell may not be taken from. the train,
but if so the car in which it travels will
be placed so that ample opportunity
will be given to display it.

Supreme Court Says Verdict
Against Gas Light Company
Is Not Excessive.

His youth and his inexperience in
handling electrical appliances are con-
sidered as bars to the theory of con-
tributory negligence set up by the St.
Paul Gas Light company in the suit
brought against it by George Bernier
and decided yesterday by the state SUI
preme court.
Bernier, who was twenty years old,
was injured June II, 1903 by coming
in contact with live wires and a YER
dict given him by a jury of $3,25O is
sustained in decision handed down
by Chief Justice Start
Bernier sued by his guardian for
$4,000 for his injuries He was en-
gagged in painting crossbars on electric
light poles when he received a shock
by coming in contact with the wires
from which the insulation had been
worn. He had not been warned of the
danger, but his foreman had told him
that some wires were charged, but he
would send men to change them. On
this showing Bernier went on with his
work. The young man received a
shock, and in attempting to save him
self his hands were SO severely burned
that the thumb of the left and index
finger of the right hand were ampu-
tated.
The supreme court holds that Ber-
nier was not guilty of contributory
negligence, and that the verdict of
$3,250 for the loss of the thumb and
finger of the right hand is not. SO ex-
cessive as to be grounds for a reversal.
The syllabus says:
Award Was Not Excessive.
This is an action to recover for per-
sonal injuries sustained by the plaintiff
fendant in failing to keep certain electric
wires properly insulated near which the
plaintiff was required to work. Held that:
l. The question of the PLAINTIFFS as
sumption Of the risk and his alleged con-
tr1butory negligence were, under the evil
dence, for the jury.
2. Expert evidence as to how long be-
fore the PLAINTIFFS injury the defect in
the Insulation of the wires occurred was
admissible.
8. An award of $3.50 for the loss Of
and the loss of the index finger of his
right hand was not excessive.
