PLAN FOR INTERESTING OUT
SIDE INVESTMENT.

That the Minneapolis real estate
board is composed Of 'tlive ones' was
evidenced by action. taken today on
plans to promote the interests of the
city and incidentally to build up the
real estate market. Following the sug-
gestion made in The Sunday Journal,
the executive committee made an ap-
preparation to advertise the announce
road fare fare of oH otsders ho come con- to
Minneapolis and buy real estate. The
idea is to use the papers in well,to-do
communities over large area and it is
believed that the novel offer will at.
tract lively inquiry from many sources
Details Of the plan will be worked OUT
with a view to making it self-sustain.
ing and close tab will be kept upon
results.
The board is discussing a plan also
for moving pictures to represent stir;
ring street scenes incident to the G. A

.STREEICAR J | LIKE
CYCLONE, HE SAYS
LAUNDRY WAGON DRIVER HIT BY
TROLLEY CAR.
Nothing Serious In the Result, but the
Hairbreadth 'scape, and Attendant
Circumstances Were Like the Quips
Of Kansas Tornado Calhoun Peo-
pie See Alderman Walker.

His wagon hurled from the street
railway tracks where they cross West
Thirty-second street, Joseph Rackman,
driver for the Sterling Laundry com
pany, had tOrnado-like experience late
yesterday. He drove across the tracks
just as Minnetonka car had passed,
and failed to see a;.workcar a approach.
The workcar hit the wagon and cut the
horse loose. The wagon, badly. shat
tered, landed, bottom-side up, in the
street. Rackman was inside. When he
emerged he found his right trousers''
leg rent, seven cuts on his face, and
his collar gone. But his .necktie was in
just as good a knot as ever, and his
eyeglasses still straddled his nose, .un-
broken. The horse had, run away, but
was captured on Calhoun boulevard.
b. This is the, third accident on the
street railway right-of way between
Thirty-irst and Thirty fourth streets:
Bessie Lawrence was severely injured
street crossing July 6, and Mrs. Mary
johnson was seriously hurt Monday
morning on the same crossing. The girl
is recovering from her hurts. Mrs.
Johnson, however, is still in precarious
condition at the Russell hospital, 300
,Hennepln avenue. She. recovered con-
seriousness early today, only to 20 into
| delirium
-. Beyond Thirty-first street the. com.
thru the middle of the block instead Of
the street. The tracks are in an unusu.
al place and as the right-of-way is mar.
row the approach Of the cars is not
readily observed.
These circumst tances, it is asserted
make the crossings at. Thirty-second
Thirty third and Thirty-fourth street
dangerous. Residents in the district
are apprehensive Of more serious acci
dents unless precautions are taken.
1t was generally supposed that there
this is not the case. The old horse Gears
ordinance made the maximum speed or
the streets six miles an hour. When tn,
electric ordinance was passed it con
tanned a clause requiring the compan,
to maintain a rate Of speed "not les
than eight miles an hour In othe
words there is no rate of speed a
which the, cars may not be run. =,
Alderman Platt B. Walker has beel

the interested residents select delega
tion from among their number to wal
upon the street railway officials H
said today: ~ TX
"something must be done as soon a
possible. Either the cars must b
slowed down in. these three blocks o
a watchman must be stationed at Thil
ty-second, Thirty-third and Thirty

that part Of the ward, the people al
greatly exercised and are fearful tina
their children will be caught by tn

HARVEST LURES WORKERS
CITY CONTRACTORS HAVE GREAT
TROUBLE IN KEEPING CREWS
OVER NIGHT.

Lured by the high wages offered for
harvest hands, the laborers employed
Sn the nc various building ba in
freight' Id droves. Some are drawn
to the west by the hope of making more
money, but with the rest it is plain
case of wanderlust.
Eighty men left one job yesterday
with the intention of going to the har-
vest fields. and the experiences of other
contractors and foremen is similar. The
size of the crew at night is no cri-
terion from which to judge the number
of men who will answer the call Of the
whistle next morning.
Despite this continuous exodus, the
contractors are able to keep their
forces about level by hiring other men
While many men in Minneapolis are 60
ing to the Dakotas, there is also a con
stant train Of railway laborers re-
turning to the city for various reasons
This constant changing of the crews
is annoying to the contractors but is
not seriously hampering their work.

FORMER INSURANCE OFFICIAL
EXPLAINS HIS HOLDINGS TO
BOARD OF EQUALIzAT1oN.s ]

DR.. J: r. Force, who is now at Pasa-
dena, CAL, by his attorneys protested
today to the board of equalization
against an assessment of 100000 on
credits. The statements Of the amounts
paid to him by the Northwestern Life
Insurance company, he said, had been
"grossly exaggerated by. the public
press. Moreover, he declared that he
had lost by unfortunate speculation and
that his credits did not exceed $1,000
in value. -. =.
Nelson Morris & Co., thru an attor-
ney, informed the board that it was op-
Grating line Of refrigerating cars and
in the course of the business had an
agency in Minneapolis. Its property
in this city, outside Of real estate, is
valued at $9,250, hence the assessment
Of $4,000 was unjust. 1t was argued
that the city board had nothing to do
tions raised were taken under advise
ment. go.
H. F. Douglas, a grain dealer, did not
| consider that he had any credits that
were taxable. He had $5,4OO in his
account at bank, but owed the same
bank $4,000. IL. *
I: s. Gillette declared that he had
| paid personal property assessments in
Minneapolis for the last twelve years,
altho during all that time he was a
legal resident and had voted in Excel
sior. = He paid the local tax here be-
cause, he thought that it was right, but
he could not stand for an assessment
of $4,000 for credits. ....--,. -.
1t appeared from competent evidence
that the Northern Cheese company had
never materialized as corporation, and
its assessment was cancelled. The board
also cancelled the assessment against
the estate Of the late DR.. Hugh Nelson
