NORTH SHORE BOAT
FOR G..N. PATRONS
Captain Pohnson's New "Flyer"
Will Be in Commission
Next Year.
This Puts Great Northern on an
Even Footing with esolley
. Line.

Altho electricity has long been ac-
knowledged by the Great Northern as
an ultimate possibility for its north
shore Minnetonka service, plans are
now under way to meet features Of the
new trolley competition so early as next
season. While it is not intended to
electrify the road by next year, the SER
vice will be improved in such a way
that north-shore interests will be well
protected. Already definite plans have
been formulated for meeting the ferry
feature of the street railway company.
This feature is one of the most impor-
tant factors in the new system Of Min
netonka travel. The mere carrying of
passengers to the lake is no innovation,
but the bringing of transportation ia.
cilities to the landings Of lake jewellers
by means Of fast ferry boats is the new
factor which will make the electric line
popular.
To meet this form Of competition, the
Great Northern has already arranged to
cooperate with Captain j. R. johnson
in operating big, new, fast steamer
to collect and distribute north-shore
passengers. The new boat, for which
plans have already been drawn, viii
be one Of the largest and fastest or
the lake. Construction will begin this
fall and the boat will be ready for com
mission by spring. She will be called
the Flyer.

Change Made for ECONOMY.

He then detailed the changing Of the
agency system from that of general
agencies with commissions like the Ray
mond firm to that Of salaried agents.
The reason for these changes, he said,
was that the new system was more eco
nomical to the company, productive of
more business and easier to handle.
When general agency is changed to
a salaried agency the renewal commits
sions called for by the contracts under
q general agency are still paid to the
salaried agent. The Raymond firm was
not changed to salaried agency, be-
lcause the contract with G. III. Raymond
& Co., which expired in 1904, was con-
tinued by the witness thru 1905. So
far as1ke kxlews there was no reason why
this agency should not have been
changed to a salaried agency in 1900.
He was not general manager then and
was not fam Mar with the affairs of the
| COMPANY at that time.

Exposures in New York Insurance.
Inquiry Continue to Be
Sensational.

New York, Oct. 6.-Robert II. Nc
Curdy, general manager of the Mutual
Life insurance company, was again q
witness today in the insurance investi-
cation.
Mr.. McCurdy said the salaries of the
Mutual Life's officers were fixed by the
finance committee. He did not know
the salary Of the president, nor did he
know that anybody did besides the pres
1dent. He did not know that the finance
committee ever fixed the president g
salary.
Mr.. McCurdy said he, as general man
ager, made all contracts with agents.
The general agents on the same plane
as G. II: Raymond & Co. numbered seven
in the United States, two in Canada and
one in Mexico. All the foreign agents
are general agents.
There are seventy five salaried agents
aside from those who, besides salary,
receive commissions on frst-year pre-
miums but no renewals. The highest
salary paid to any of these is $4,000,
paid to the general agent at Chicago.

OUR NEW HOSPITAL.

Mrs. Michael Mengwasser, of Rich
Fountain. who has been a patient at
Grace Hospital the past three weeks,
where Dir. J. l.. Short removed a hard
cataract from her eye, has returned
home with her sight restored after
being blind three years. She speaks
in high praise of the kind treatment
she received from DR.. Short and his
cstimablc wife, and she rejoiccs on
account OF their success in her case.
1t IS no longer necessary for any n
to leave Versailles and go to the city
or other towns for treatment. unless
they have a desire to take their money
and patronage away from home and
place them elsewhere. Parties with
affections OF the eye. ear, throat, lungs
or any other chronic ailment, can
now get as skillful medical and surgi-
cal treatment here as at any place.
DR.. Short has been an expert in this
line Tor many years, and all who
know him say he is strictly honest and
reliable, as we'll as reasonable in his
charges. His intention is to maintain
a splendid hospital and health resort
here. and he will not cease to thank
such citizens as give him their support
now while his enterprise is in its be-
ginning.
The doctor has never asked our
town to donate him a site for his
sanltariun, as others would have
done, but he has purchased suitable
grounds at a large price, and has
shown his good faith in our town, and
his zeal in his work, and he iecls that
he is entitled to the business that this
town and county affords, SO long as
he is able to furnish as good skill and
accommodations as can be found
elsewhere. For many years DIR. Shor
has been considered one of the best
eye and car specialists in the state,
and he is just as successful in the
treatment of all other chronic dis
eases and surgical cases of a delicate
nature. He has already treated some
Of our leading citizens with splendid
success, and has recently arranged to
have trained nurses, and to have
leading surgeons from St. Louis and
Kansas City to come and assist him
when necessary.

@MRs. DR.. BISHOP" I"
Place on fremont Street in Boston Has
Been Under Surveillance.

Boston, Nov. 3. The Office Of "AIrs.
DIR. Bishop" with which DR.. Crawford,
arrested in New York, Is said to have
been connected, is situated on fremont
street, in the center of the theatrical
district. 1t was searched thoroughly by
the police two days ago, but little Of
value was found.
The police have been searching for
Crawford ever since the arrest Of Nathan
in Pittsburg last Sunday night. He has
been missing from his Office here and it
was not until yesterday that he was
located in New York BY Detective Ser
geant O'Brien of that city.
Should the TWO men in custody in
New York return without extradition
papers, ii Is expected that their arraign-
ment, as we'll as that Of Nathan, will
take place at the same time, all three
being charged with performing a crimi-
nal operation on Miss Geary.
Nathan, who WAS in such a weakened
condition physically and mentally upon
his arrival from Pittsburg that he was
taken to the city hospital, showed signs
of improvement yesterday. The police
are anxious for him to regain his
strength sufficiently to answer a num-
Der Of questions regarding the case.
No effort was made to take him to
court for arraignment. A ring which
was identified as belonging to Miss Geary
has been found in loan company, where
1t was pawned by a friend Of Nathan.

CLAIMS IMMUNITY
UNDER INDICTMENT
Beef Trust Plea Is That It Was Prom
ised Them by Commissioner Gar
field If Testimony Was
Given

Chicago, Nov. 3.--Immunity from
prosecution under the pending indict-
ment returned by federal grand jury
several months ago is claimed by j.
Odgen Amour and the other defendant
packers and agents charged with being
promoters of the so-called sbeef trust
in an additional plea in bar filed yes
terday.
The plea sets up as facts that when
Commissioner Garfield Of the department
Of commerce and labor Investigated the
beef packing business he promised the
paclSers that in whatever testimony they
gave without being under oath or what
ever documentary evidence they yolun-
tarily produced, the defendants should
have the same rights, indemnities and
immunities as if they had testified mn
der oath and compulsion. Under this
new plea Attorney Miller hopes to es-
tablish the fact that there was an agree
ment between the packers and the gov
eminent that they should testify and
produce evidence without being subpoe-
naed or the oath being administered,
but that as far as immunity was con
cerned, it should be considered as If
they had ben suhpoenaed and taken the
oath.
The allegation Of on agreement be-
tween Commissioner Garfield and the
packers is surprise to District Attor-
ney Morrison and Assistant Attorney
General Pagin, and il was said last
night that Commissioner Garfield had
been asked concerning exactly what oc~
curred during the investigation into the
beef business.

Vienna, Nov. 3.--Craye disorders, in
which ii is reported, more than forty
persons were injured, occurred last night,

ing in behalf Of universal suffrage, The
orators used fiery language declaring
that millions OF workers were ready to

flc was stopped for three hour.
After further harangues outside the
buildings, the crowd marched through
the streets shouting for revolution. Near

eral persons were seriously injured, the
wild scenes lasting half an hour.
Later at night the turbulence was re-
newed in many parts OF the city and
many more persons were hurt

the police, compelling them to draw
their swords, and it il said that the po.
lice acted with brutal violence. The
