WORK 0! K. HARD TO FIND


The semi annual meeting OF the As
Sociated Charities OF St. Paul was held
yesterday afternoon in the parlors of
the Commercial club. Thirty organi-
cations, were present or represented.
and reports from each Of them were
read and accepted.
Very Rev. j. ]. Lawler. vice president
of the Associated Charities, presided.
Among the reports rendered was that
of the board of trustees. In this the
trustees call attention TO the fact that
new lines Of work had not been at
tempted. but that the regular lines had
been followed and strengthened The
deficit under which the organization
labored last year was wiped out during
the period covered by the report. and
the effort of the treasurer to place the
body on a good financial footing was
mentioned, as was the fact that c.. l..
Fisk's resignation had been rendered
some time ago as financial agent.
The report concludes with a note to
the effect that A. w. Gutridge, general
secretary, had been elected president
Of the state conference OF charities
and corrections.
The report of the general secretary
shows that for the six months prior
to March 81, 609 cases Of reported need
were investigated. OF these 244 were
new cases. For the corresponding pc
rfod last year the figures were 655 and
269, respectively. The figures show IA
vorably by comparison, indicating q 10
per cent improvement in new cases of
dependency and per cent as a whole
1t is stated, however, that in reality
the situation is worse than Ii has been
In eight years, when the fact of the
mildness of last winter Is taken into
consideration.
Work, according TO the report, has
been very scarce for the class of per-
sons most needing Ii, and but for the
open character of the winter the condi-
ton of the needy would have been very
bad.
The educational progress of the So
ciety and the visiting feature are COM
mented upon at some length, and the
provident savings department is re-
ported to have gained 500 new depos-
itors. During the six months $4,000
was deposited and $2,500 withdrawn.
The, visiting nurse made GOT calls
upon 234 sick persons. OF these 174
recovered, -15 were removed to hospi-
tails and 15 died. .
The treasurer's report showed that
the society received s3,45S.9S and ex-
pended all but s6.45.
The national conference of charities
and corrections will convene for a
weeks session at Portland, commenc-
ing July 10. Many of the delegates
from the east will pass through ST.
Paul going to the convention, and 1t

excursion over the Northern Pacific
has been planned TO leave here July u,

pare to get here by or before July IL,

appeals handed down a decision re-
versing the judgment OF the federal
court, wherein a judgment was render
ed against Edward j. and Hubert G..
Schurmeier and Emma A. Miller, as
executors of John II. Schurmeier. de-
ceased, in favor of the Connecticut
Mutual Life insurance company for
$7,922.45
The suit of the insurance company
against the heirs of John II. Schur-
meier was maintained on promissory
note and mortgage issued by John H.
Schurmeier to the Connecticut Mutual
as collateral for loan of $4,000. The
pleadings allege that the property upon
which the mortgage was given was
sold on foreclosure proceedings by the
insurance company. who realized
s7,O74.90 less than the debt. There
upon the company sued the heirs OF
John H. Schurmeier for that amount
with interest
The contention OF the defendants
was that the plaintiff company had not
filed claim against the estate of John
HI. Schurmeier within the statutory
time limit, and Consequently was
barred from bringing suit to collect.
The syllabus of the judgment rem
dered by the court of appeals laid down
the following rules Of law:
1. Federal courts have concurrent ju-
rlSdiction with the courts of states to hear
and allow claims against deceased per-
sons which involve controversies over the
requisite amounts between citizens OF diff
ferent states, Notwithstanding that states
have by legislation conferred exclusive ju-
f1sdicton upon probate or other state
courts.
2. In the national courts an action at
law cannot be maintained in equity nor is
an equitable cause Of action or an equit
able defenSe available law
3. Actions at law for allowance OF
claims are available when an action at
law may be maintained in federal courts
TO secure the allowance Of a claim against
an estate, and a certificate of il to the
proper state court for payment in its class
when the action Is commenced within the
time limited by statute or by. order OF
state court. and no relief I'm equity is req
uisite TO permit the allowance of the
claim.
4. A suit in equity is indispensable to
the allowance OF claim when the allow
ance OF a claim for good cause out OF the
time limited or the extension OF such
time.
5. Federal, courts in allowing claims are
governed by same rules as local tribunals
8. In Minnesota claims contingent during

ed within latter limit.
T. Federal court has Jurisdiction in
equity. but not at law to allow such
claims.
In the opinion handed down by Judge
Sanborn, the evidence of the case Is
carefully reviewed, and reversed on the
grounds as cited in the syllabus. An
action at law cannot be maintained In
this case and no application has been
made by bin in equity for the allow
ance of this claim out of time or for
an extension of the time originally linn
tied for the allowance of claims against

WANT TOLL BOARDS
Proposed Action of Phone Com
pany Stirs Citizens

st. Paul business men are deeply
stirred over the prospective removal
of the st. Paul toll board of the North
western Telephone company to Mime
apolis. The matter was to have been
discussed by a special committee of the
Commercial club yesterday and r. H.
Norfolk Of the telephone company was
invited to be present.
The matter was considered to be of
such wide Importance that the club
decided to make club affair of it and
consequently it was referred to the
meeting of the directors which takes
place today.
The company declares that the
change has been in prospect for about
a year and promises that st. Paul will
not be IN any way Disseminated
against when 1t takes place. The al
legged reason for the proposed removal
is that a request by the company for
overhead entrance to st. Paul was de-
MED.
City officials and officers of the Com
mercial club have been unable to find
on record any such request.
