REACH A COMPROMISE
IN TEACHING WRITING

A change will be made in the meth
DDS Of teaching penmanship in the pub
lie schools, if the report Of the commit
tee on textbooks is adopted. The COM
mittee will recommend retaining the
vertical system in the first two years
Of instruction and beginning with the
third grade, the substitution of some
system which develops speed and is
better adapted to business require
ments.
On account Of complaints made
against the present textbooks in arith
metic and geography, the merits OF
these books were considered at yester.
days meeting. Chairman w. K. Hicks
and f. B. Chute voted for the retention
of the Werner arithmetics and the Frye
biographies, now in use. Clifford W
Thompson opposed these books and will
make a minority report recommending
in their stead the Walsh arithmetics
and the Tarr & McMurray biographies

Duluth, Mimi, May 1.-THE men,
bers of the Duluth Board OF Trade are
meeting this afternoon to consider. the
proposal to make No. northern wheat
deliverable upon contracts at a fixed
difference. The call provided that this
question be submitted to the meeting,
the directors to submit rule II the
idea was approved.
In the past day or two strong SEN
timent has developed to make No. 2
northern the contract grade: 1t was
said on the floor that at this afternoon 8
meeting that would be proposed and
that 80 per cent Of the members would
favor it.
The condition in the market at the
present time has converted many who
might some time ago have opposed the
proposal that No. northern be made
the contract grade.
A. D. Thomson has the market in
complete control, owning all the con.
tract wheat and having the July and
May option in his grip: The, result is
that commission trade is dead and no
body dares place any trades.
The belief is that with the grade
made No. 2 northern the market could
not be cornered and it's trade could
consequently be widened.

WILL REMOVE BRIDGE
WITHOUT FURTHER DELAY

A temporary bridge over the Lake
Minnetonka channel between Phelps
island and the mainland, in the direc-
tion of Mound, caused A. c. Loring to
travel several miles out Of his way in
his launch yesterday. Their lake navi-
gators have been caused like inconven-
fence, and a loud protest has arisen.
The bridge was built by Taintor
Brothers during the winter and was
used by transfers hauling out Hdead
and down" timber from the island.
It is too low to permit even rowboats
to pass. It obstructs most popular
and convenient short cut between points
on the upper lanke and it must 60.
A protest was made some time ago
and several weeks have passed since
County Surveyor Cooley ordered the
builders to take the bridge away. The
authorities supposed that the order had
been complied with. When the matter
was brought to Mr.. Cooley's attention
today, he said:
tf'l send man out tomorrow and
have that bridge chopped out.

KOCH JURY VOTE
STILL DISCUSSED
Report That Only Five Stood Out
for Acquittal Is Probably
Correct.
Special to The journal.

Special to The Journal.
Mankato, Mimi, May 17:-Much
speculation is being INDUCED in as to
how the Koch jury stood, as to whether
it was seven to five in favor of convic-
tion or acquittal. Some Of the jurors
are said to have made one statement
and other jurors another. When pinned
down, all are very reticent. HH
It is noticeable that while the attor-
neys for the defense claim to have
heard that the jury favored acquittal,
other persons who have talked with
the jurors say this is not the case. One
juryman is quoted as having said that
on the first ballot seven votes were
cast for conviction, four for acquittal
and one blank, and that thereafter
there was no change except that five
votes were cast for acuuittal. An
other juror is quoted as having said
that none of the jurors thought Brooks
was telling all he knew. :,
From statements made by jurors, it
appears that those who were opposed
to conviction on circumstantial evil
dence took up much time repeating all
| the accounts they could remember
upon circumstantial evidence and later
found to be innocent
Juror IL, young Mr.. Hagermann, re:
counted an old German legend. 1t
was to the effect that once nurse girl
had babe out for an airing, and that
while she left it for a moment it was
murdered She was convicted OF the
crime and sentenced to be executed
Her final request was that a tree DC
planted over her grave upside down
with the branches in the soil and tht
roots outspread in the air. She sale
that if the tree died it was to be take1
as an Indication that she was guilty
but if it lived, the people would know
she was innocent. The tree wa
planted in accordance with her reques
and it thriyed and became d fine tree
This story caused much amusement
and accounted for the laughter Aheart
coming from the jury room by those II
waiting on the outside.
Juror Hagermann was great,
pleased when his term of service o.
the jury had expired, SC, that he co o.;
return to his bride and babe. In
work on his farm has been done by
cousin, under the direction of his wife
and hired man has also been EN-
! ployed, but the best of men are not tn
equal of the proprietor, when it come
to getting in crop.
There is some doubt whether Genera
Childs will be in favor IF holding tn
third trial of the case in Blue Fart
county. He declined to make an
statement as to this before leaving TO
his home. His assistant, County Al
, torney Wilson, says it is the intention
to try it here as soon as possible.

FREE LABOR BUREAU
IN PUBLIC BUILDING

Labor Commissioner W. H. Williams
had conference at the city hall today
with the building commission. He an
nounced that he had abandoned the plan
to establish the public employment bu-
reau in one Of the downtown bust
ness blocks, as he preferred to have it
permanently located in the courthouse
and city hall. Assurance was given
that suitable quarters would be pro-
vided for him whenever he was ready.
The selection has narrowed to two
rooms, the old municipal courtroom on
the ground floor and the custodian s
headquarters, also on the ground floor
at the Fourth street entrance. The
custodian is 10th to surrender, but it is
for the building commission to devide.
Louis Levy, who will have charge Of
the bureau, had hand in today's con-
ference and expressed himself as salts
fed with either of the available rooms.
The municipal courtroom has virtually
been given to the census enumerotors,
and the chances are that the custodian
will have to move
