RIVER ON ACE
Meeker Island Dam Suffers
Severe Damage

The Father of Waters, chained and
bounded within narrow limits, showed
his fearful power Tuesday by tearing
the flooring from the Meeker island
lock and in his course toward water
level swept away a big shoal composed
of sand, gravel and stone that would
have taken thousands of dollars TO
dredge out. And the destruction was
all accomplished in the course of a
few brief minutes.
Capt. A. C. Powell, civil engineer
in charge of lock and dam No. 2, COM
pleted the lock some time ago. and as
several river captains had expressed
the intention of steaming up to Mime
apolis in the near future he deter
mined to sweep out the shoal with the
current of the river
The lock itself was floored with four
inch planks and the bar or shoal lay
to the down stream end of the dam.
The lower gates were first opened and
then the might torrent was released
through the upper end of the lock.
Down it swept, loosening the barrier
of the shoal and securing out a chan
mel in the course of a minute, but the
flow was so strong that the big planks
on the floor of the lock began to yield
and before the upper gates could be
closed they were wrenched up by the
water and torn into bits.
1t is estimated that the loss will be
about $4,000 and the repairs will delay
navigation until the first of June.

KELLY PUT UP FIGHT
Several PatrOImen Required to
Jail PugnaClous Prisoner

Tom Kelly, a resident of the Fifth
ward, made a desperate effort to clean
out the police department late yester-
day afternoon.
The trouble started at Seventh and
Wabasha streets, when Kelly mixed
matters with Louis Jones, colored.
Patrolman Peterson, attracted by the
scuffie, attempted to separate the COM
batants, whereupon Kelly, releasing his
hold on the negro, turned on the DO
liceman. Wrestling Peterson's club away
he dealt the patrolman a ringing swat
on the head with the butt end, almost
telling him to the ground. Peterson
whistled for assistance and Patrolman
Dan Mozart, who was on his way TO
the station to report for night duty,
came to the rescue. AS Mozart was
endeavoring to get hold on Kelly, the
latter eluded his grasp and landed a
full left swing on the aStonished DO
liceman's jaw. After lively struggle
Kelly was subdued and the patrol
wagon called. On the way to the sta
ton he again showed fight and sue
ceeded in landing several blows on the
policemen and also on the negro, who
had been taken along as witness.
When the wagon arrived at the sta
ton the o'clock relief was just going
on duty and four of the patrolmen had
to be called into active service before
Kelly was finally landed behind the
bars. Several of the policemen were
nursing bruises after the struggle, but
Kelly escaped without a mark.
Jones received a terrific blow in the
face, cutting both lips. He was at
tended by the police surgeon.

CHURCH is GROWING
House of Hope Congregation
Holds Annual Meeting

The annual meeting of the House OF
Hope Presbyterian church was held
last night. There was a large attend
ance of the congregation. Reports Of
the various departments of the church
were read and were unJformally good,
especially that covering the contribu
tons to the support of the missionary
projects of the church.
The contributions from all sources
totaled nearly $3S, 5000, which was $4,000
more than last year. The benevolences
OF the year amounted to about $4,000.
The membership of the church increas-
ed II net during the year and reached
the total figure of 935.
Three particular objects were named
as special work for this year. The
first of these was the securing of sec
ond pastor to take charge of the Sun
day school work and relieve Rev. DR..
w. H. w. Boyle of many of the details
of the administration of the church
work.
Second was the children's hospital at
Miraj, India, and the maintenance of a
launch on Laguna de Bay in the island
OF LuZon.
Both of these projects have been
started ana the 1actS were brought out
that both needed funds to continue
church work. The launch is consid
cred of particular value in the Phil
ippines as transportation is one of the
most difficult problems to be solved.
With the boat the missionaries are en-
abled to reach deeper into the jungles
than they could by any other means.
The church also contributed $4,000 TO
Manchester college.
During the past year the church lost
heavily through death. Prominent
members of nearly every committee
died. The roll for the year includes
the names of eighteen of the church
members.
The election of trustees resulted as
follows: c. p. Noyes. Emerson Had
Itch and T. c. Fields. who were re-
elected, and Frederick Weyerhaeuser
and John n. Jackson. who take the
places of the late Greenleaf Clark and
John 3. Sanborn.
DR.. Boyle said that the year marks
the high water level of the church so
far In its history. The congregation is
preparing to celebrate the semi-cen-
tennial of its formation next Deem

BADGER MEAT DEALER
TESTIFlES AGAINST TRUST
Private Accounts of Packing Concerns
Will Be Examined

CHICAGO, April 5.-Prices paid for
live stock by the packers, alleged re-
bates granted the packers by railroads
for handling of the same and the pri-
Vate accounts of some of the packing
concerns are to be closely inquired into
within the next few days by the fed
eral grand jury.
Another phase of the question to be
inquired into is the price paid by
wholesale dealers to the packers for
meats. Witnesses who can give de-
tailed and accurate information along
these lines appeared today. One of
them was James A. Barrett. a whole
sale meat dealer at Merrill, Wis He is
said to have explained the alleged
hardships placed upon the small meat
dealers by the packing concerns. He
gave the prices paid the packers by
the wholesalers. Samuel Grobinne-
heimer, a cattle buyer for Schwarzchild
& Sulzberger, testified concerning the

BUCKET SHOP BILL
PASSES THE SENATE
Men Who Trade on Market
Must Be Able to De-
liver Goods

The anti bucket shop bill went
through the senate yesterday like seed
through hopper and emerged with 81
votes of the upper house backing the
majority of the lower body. The bill
provides fine of from $500 to 81, 600
for the first offense and Imprisonment
and fine for subsequent breaches of the
law.
The gist of the bill is that any con-
tract and trade entered into and based
upon the quotations and market fig
ures of a board of trade or exchange
must be accompanied by a real trans
action on that board of trade or else
the penalties provided become opera
. tive.
In order to carry the new law into ef-
.fect=it is provided that unless written
records containing the names of the par
ties to deals either buying or selling
are kept, together with the time, price,
commodity, etc., and the same furnish
ed to each customer as the trades are
made, that it is to be prima facie evil
dence' that the keeper of the establish
ment where the transaction is made is
guilty of bucketing his trades.
/ l. A. Wood said last night that new
law is a good thing:
The new law is all right" said Mr..
Wood, land the legitimate commission
men of the state will undoubtedly re-
joice at its passage. A legitimate trade
under the law is one where a customer
buys or sells some commodity either for
immediate or future delivery and where
that delivery is the essence of the con-
tract.
Take for instance the subject of
short sales. Suppose a producer of
wheat knowing the probable yield of his
land and other land in his vicinity and
becoming assured that the land would
fa11
goes into the market or acts through
a commission merchant and sells
against his anticipated crop. If the
price goes down he has saved himself
the difference between the figure at
which he sold for future delivery and
the price at which the actual cash
wheat was marketed
Suppose for any reason the seller
does not wish to deliver the wheat he
has sold in the market months before
the crop matured, and also suppose
that the price is lower than the figure
at which the trade was made; now if
he buys against his previous sale the
transaction is legitimate enough from
any point of view.
In bucketing trades the proprietor
of the bucket shop merely takes all
the bets he can get on both sides of
the market and charges a commission
on all trades. and hopes with the as
sistance of the commission TO tire out
the customer and make a profit on the
general average of the trades.
I'm bucketing there is no correspond
ing trade on the board of trade or
chamber of commerce and the matter
resolves itself into a sheer bet with
the proprietor as to the course of the
market.
THE only disadvantage / can see in
the law is that il will increase the
clerical work of the legitimate COM
mission houses. But if the bill will
eradicate the bucket shop evil 1 should
think the commission men would be
willing TO assume the extra trouble and
be thankful"

A polite dunning note was sent to
Miss TosteVin, with the added infor-

that she held a bill for storage against
the company, amounting to SO month
for the time the books were left in her
possession, which must be paid before
they could be secured.
Diplomatic negotiations followed, but
no terms were reached. Monday the
publishing firm had a writ of replevin

somewhere and no one knew their
whereabouts. The constable commence
