The Minneapolis men who engi-

fierce proposition for the Chicago men

it would not break. This morning
again there was a run of 200 cars,
compared with 80 a year ago, but it
had no effect.

NIGHT SESSION OF COURT
LEGAL FIGHT AS TO FULL MEAN
ING OF THE WORD "INSUR-
ANCE.''

Does the legal term "insurance''' in
clude accident insurance? This inter
esting legal questiin has been raised in
the case Of the Skinner Milling compa-
ny Of Albert Lea, Mimi, against
Charles Erickson, now Of Minneapolis
Upon it's, answer depends the possess
sion Of Minneapolis property valued at
about $4,000. The case will be tried
before Judge G. B. Elliott tonight, the
session beginning at 1880, to accom-
modate the Albert Lea lawyers.
2 Some years ago the defendant leased
an Albert Lea flour mill Of the plaintiff
company. AS condition it was agreed
that the lessee should secure and pay
for insurance on the property. Fire in
surance Of $500 was secured and a
$4,000 accident policy covering boiler
explosions, ETC., was also taken with
the Fidelity & Casualty company, run
ming to the Charles Erickson Milling
company.
A boiler explosion wrecked the mill
and injured several employees. The
policies were paid and Mr.. Erickson
kept the $4,000 and invested it in Min
neapolis real estate.
The plaintiff now claims that this &C.
cident insurance was taken out for them
under the terms Of the lease, and ask
for possession Of the Minneapolis prop.

Has Barely Considered the Plumbers

Probable That He Will Settle the Mill
ROvcott n

More discussion Of the mill boycott
was the program of the morning in la
Dor circles. Samuel Gompers, president
Of the American Federation, met with
the millworkers and other labor leaders
at Alexander's hall and listened to
further remarks for and against the
boycott. The discussion was In ex-
ecutive session, but it is stated that
there was much sentiment favorlng the
mill company most affected.
Yesterday afternoon Mr.. Gompers and
President A. +. Kellington Of the mill
employees union met with the mlllers.
It is stated the interview was more an
Interchange Of courtesies than an argu-
ment, as the company was not pre-
pared to make any concessions in return
for the lifting Of the boycott.
The fact that the boycott was I'M.
posed upon only one Of the three great
milling companies has tended to make
friends for the concern attacked,
comes more probable that President
Gompers will not make any ruling at
present. He will probably turn the
matter over to the American Federation
for settlement. Last evening Mr..
Gompers declared he would not pass
on the matter while in the city.
The labor organizations Of st. Paul
were addressed last night by the presl-
dent in Mozart hall. There was fair
crowd, but nothing approaching the
Minneapolis meeting. Mr.: Gompers was
entertained at supper at Neuman 8 cafe
by the labor leaders. The lateness OF
the hour made it impossible for him to

He has had little opportunity to take

In addition it is stated that one or two
proposed walk uts were to be submitted
to him. If he approved strikes were
to be ordered at once. It is said that

companies, were planning move Of

WOMAN MUST SELL
TROUBLESOME CHICKS

Rather than see her chickens go hun
cry, Mrs. Rose Ross, a poor widow, resid-
ing at 292 Lincoln street NE, violated the
city ordinances and swept wheat from I'M
loaded boxcars in the railroad yards.
When arraigned in police court today for
the offense, she pleaded guilty, but said
she couldn't help it.
II have no money! she said, and I
can't pay fine, but I will sell my chick
ems and then I won't get into trouble
again.
This proposal satisfied the court and
the sentence of S. or five days was sus-
pended. 1t was her second appearance in
court for sweeping cars; moreover, she
had been warned many times by the rail-
road officials.

COUNTERS COACHED
The Census Enumerators Are Instruct

Census Director Rain, assisted by
Charles W. johnson and c. S. Cairns,
opened his census enumerators' school
in the city hall last evening. The 112
enumerators who will take the count
in Hennepin were given full instruction
in how to get all necessary information.
Colonel johnson had charge of the
national census Of 1880, but the details
Of the counting business are still fresh
in his mind. Mr.. Cairns directed the
local count in the national census. of
1900 and was also able to give valuable
advice.
Many Of the enumerators have had
experience in census or directory work
and will be able to work rapidly and
to good advantage. Every man will be
checked and will be obliged to get
every name in his district before re-
ceiving his pay.

comparisons between the school enroll

censuses show the varying multiple,
Minneapolis now has 42,663 children en-

course, is not true. ...s
Based on the figures of 1900 this city
