= Ole Anderson, farmer living north
of Minneapolis, was seriously injured
this forenoon when he was blown from
seat on his wagon by the strong gale
that blew steadily for several hours.
He was on his way into the city and
as he approached Washington and
Twenty-third avenues N he was sitting.
on the edge Of his seat. Suddenlysthe
wind became. stronger and a sudden
gust caught Anderson unawares and
he was blown to the pavement, where
he lay motionless. Pedestrians stopped
the team and carried the unconscious
man to a nearby store and summoned
the patrol wagon. He was taken to the
city hospital and will probably, re-
cover, *altho his head is badly injured.
The wind did some damage in sew
eral parts of the city, chiefly to the.
overhead wires. A live wire was. blown
down at Fifth avenue S and Twenty
fourth street and another at Summit
and Bryant avenues. No damage was
done and the police kept all persons
away until employees of. the company
owning the wires came to repair them.

Affairs of great moment to Minneap-
obs We're discussed at the Commercial
club at noon today at a joint meeting
of the charter commission and COM
mittee from the city council, consisting
Of Aldermen Holmes, Satterlee, Walker,
Rand and Cashier The prime pal sub
ject under discussion was the advisa-
billty OF submitting a new charter to
the voters at the next election and the
general plans that should be incorpo-
rated in the new work if it is submitted.
The meeting today was a continual
ton Of a meeting held last Saturday
and further discussion postponed to al
low the aldermanic delegation time to
make a deeper study of. the charter sub
mitted at the last election, but which
failed to pass. s1y-*8- sE1s. -
Council Unfavorable. q.
The council committee is not wholly
new charter and takes the stand that
tie present measure is sufficient for the
needs of the city. One objection that
is raised in the contention is that the
new charter would take away certain
powers at present enjoyed by the coun-
Gil. Discussion on this point was warm
and interesting. The members of the
commission maintain that the proposed
charter removes none Of the rights or
sion is strongly in favor Of submitting
new measure and hopes to induce the
council to favor it.. Tho the question
was not definitely decided today it is
announced that new charter will be
submitted.
B. +. Nelson, chairman of the com,
mission, strongly urged favorable rec
ommendation by the council represen'
tatives. . Minneapolis needs new
charter and needs it badly said he
"The acts under which the city is at
present working should be codifed and
brought into better shape. Now we
have little more than a conglomeratior
Of legislative acts, many Of which are
,doubtfully worded and capable Of diff
ferent constructions. The so-called
charter under which we are working is
nearly thirty years old, and has beer
amended and re-amended until there is
little. Of it left. I believe; the council
! and interests of the. city working to
gether thru the charter commission
should unite on a charter measure ani
push it. and I believe that it will pass
this fall.' mn ~. -,
Civil Service and Elections.
. Two other points. of difference tha
will be prominent in further discus
sions of any proposed charter will b,
civil service application to the polio,
and fire departments and the questio,
Of separate municipal elections. Sen
timent is divided on both these i'm
portant points. It, is believed that tn
application. Of civil service to the po
lice and fire departments will. be popu
lar with the people gen eFally, but tina
nrepred the cv e T
are held. With the state, county. an
national elections at far less expens

l with separate municipal elections.
