CHARGES ISLANDER
{. r. Lowe Wants MakeieVsky
to Pay Him $3,457

Growing out of appearances in both
justice and municipal courts, and d
watch trade in which one of the, trad
ers was beaten, is $4,000 Islander suit
and another suit for S457.5O, both filed
yesterday in the district court by
Charles r. Lowe.
The Islander suit is brought by Mr.
Lowe against Abraham Makeievsky.
Mr.. Lowe says that his character was
damaged to the extent of $4,000
through Mr.. Makeievsky's remarks
concerning him.
The other action is brought against
Abraham Makeievsky, n. Makeievsky
and Walter Boyd, constable, for judg-
ment in the sum of $457.50. on the al
legation that the three defendants IL
legally took away Mr.. loves Payne
avenue jewelry store.
The whole trouble grew out of the
sale of a piece of real estate belong
ing to Mr.. Lowe. Mr.. Makeievsky
acted as agent and put in a claim for
$50 as commission. The commission
was not paid and he brought suit in a
justice court, obtaining judgment in
full amount asked. He secured a note
from Mr.. Lowe for the amount of the
judgment and soon afterwards Telin-
quished the note and a 50 bill in ex-
change for watch in Mr.. Loves jew
elry store. He travelled back down.
town with his watch, and alleges that
when he took the timepiece to another
jewelry store for examination he found
it to be decidedly 'phOny."
Mr.. Lowe did not want to trade back
and Mr.. Makeievsky brought suit in
the municipal court and obtained a
judgment for $50. He secured a writ
of attachment, took Constable Boyd
and his own brother with him and went
to the Lowe jewelry store and seized
upon almost everything of value there
The stuff seized was sold to satisfy the
judgment.
In his Islander suit Lowe alleges that
when MakeievSky came to make the
seizure he made a slanderous state
ment. This statement, being wholly
false and untrue, as the complaint al
leges, and made in the presence of a
number of witnesses, damaged him, he
declares, in the amount sued for
$4,000
The other suit, brought for $457.50.
because of the seizure of the goods, is
based on the allegation that the at
tachment papers on which the seizure
was made were illegal, and further,
that the goods seized were not his own,
but were held by him as agent and
trustee.

A dispute over the boundary line be-
tween their respective lots brought
Gustave Beck, 23S Lucy street, and
John Ernster, 234 Lucy street, to grief
in the police court yesterday afternoon.
Both have often complained to City
Prosecutor Helmes and have asked for

they appeared before him again, he is
sued cross warrants calling for the ar
rest of both. They appeared in the
police court yesterday afternoon and
before Judge Hine hurled charges at
each other.
Judge Hine warned them to stop. but
they persisted in talking. When they
were finally subdued, he continued
their cases for a week and ordered them
to deposit 500 bail each to secure
their liberty. They protested loudly,
but were sent to the county Jail where
they will remain until the money is
forthcoming.

JOHNSON REFUSES
TO SHOULDER BLAME
Governor Signs Revised Code
but Declines to Accept
Responsibility

Without making any attempt to ana
lyze its provisions, Gov. Johnson yes
terday signed the new code as passed
by the legislature and sent to him.
The governor saw a bulky document
deposited on his desk which he was
told was the new code of Minnesota.
Grasping his pen with firm hand,
the governor said:
II am going to sign this measure
without looking it over. 1t has been
sent to me at time when it is a phys
ical impossibility to even read it. The
revision committee has worked four
years, and the legislature three months.
Their work. should be we'll done, and If
it is not, theirs is the blame"
All bills must be signed within three
days after the legislature adjourns,
which gives until Friday noon, accord
ing to the governors figures. Yester-
day was the governors busy day. Bills
were rushed in by the score and given
careful consideration. By 4 o'clock the
executive concluded that he had earned
a rest, and went for an automobile ride
with a few friends. He returned at
O'Clock and began reading and signing
bills.
Disapproval was expressed for one
bill, which was given a pocket veto.
That was an insurance bill known as
senate HE NO. 9zl. III lne last Houi .
of the legislature bill had been rush
ed through which had the effect of re-
pealing the Morse bill, which regulated
the mutual insurance companies. Com
missioner O'Brien said that he suppos-
ed the two bills had been passed by
mistake in the confusion.
The Morse bill covered mutual insur-
ance companies, the forming and regu-
lation of them. 1t provided for the
first years premiums to be paid in cash,
to give the company a working capital.
The later bill provides for practically
the same thing. with the exception that
implement dealers will not be given au-
thority to form mutual companies un-
der the Morse bill

FROM TROLLEY COMPANY
Plaintiff Says He Was Elected From
Car After Paying Fare

The system of the street railway
company in changing conductors on
their trains during a single run has re-
suited in a $1,000 damage suit, insti-
tuted yesterday in the district court
by Alfred J. Schauer.
In his complaint the plaintiff alleges
that Nov. %, 1904, he boarded car
at Plato and South Robert streets, and
that at Ninth and Wabasha streets
another conductor took charge Of the
car. He had paid his fare to the first
conductor and the second conductor
tried to collect again. He refused to
pay, and the conductor and the motor
man put him off the car while 1t was
on University avenue, near Magnolia
street. The putting off process tore
his clothing, injured his physical and
mental self to the extent of the dam
ages asked, he says.

TROUBLES IN COURT
Former Law Partners in Dispute Over
Settlement of Accounts

Judge Kelly listened yesterday to
recital of the difficulties existing be-
tween Attorneys Franklin H. Griggs
and George Squires. Messrs. Squires
and Griggs were formerly associated in
the law business, but the partnership
was dissolved some months ago, and,
according to Mr.. Squires, who brings
action to secure an accounting, Mr.
Griggs was to collect the bills owing
the firm. He asserts that since that
time he has never been able to secure
an accounting from his former part
ner, and in answer Mr.. Griggs asserts
that he has been compelled to pay out
more in settling the firms old bills

The attempt of DR.. II. NJ. Bracken,
secretary of the state board of health,
to find out what makes Jack a dull
boy, will probably be frustrated by the
lack of cooperation on the part of the
school authorities of St. Paul and Min
neapoliS.
Last September DR.. Bracken sent out
circulars to the superintendent of
schools over the state asking that an
examination be made of the eyesight
and hearing of the pupils in the schools.
About one-half of the schools respond
ed, but the Twin Cities were not among
them.
st. Paul has not been heard from
officially. but Minneapolis has declined
absolutely TO aid in the work. The
matter was laid before the school
board of that city. The members said
that parents would take their children
to irresponsible dealers and eyeglass
men who could not properly examine
the children. Supt. Jordan-was there
fore instructed to tell DR.. Bracken that
no aid would be furnished for the re-
search. AS to the hearing test one of
the members facetiously remarked that
they couldn't listen to it."
Board Considers Request
The st. Paul board thought well of
the proposition, and it was referred to
Supt. A. j. Smith, but no action has
been taken The superintendent left
for Chicago last night. ]. d. Bond,
assistant superintendent, said last
night that he knew nothing of the mat
ter.
DR.. Bracken says that without the
figures from the Twin Cities the re-
port will be incomplete, as the two
cities contain about one-fourth of the
school population. The work was un-
dertaken as part of a conference and
agreement by health officials in prac-
tically every state in the union.
The particular purpose was to find

how many were defective. The teach
ers themselves were to make this eX-
animation. When a child was found
who was thought to be physically de-
fectiVe, a card was to be sent to the
parent, with the suggestion that this
was the reason for the child being dull
