QUESTIONS JUDGE AND
ASKS JURY VERDICT

A: A. Andrews has moved for
trial by jury to determine whether
Judge Q. L.. Smith of the municipal
court swore to the truth in affdavits
filed in the mandamus matter Of An
drews against Smith, brought to com
pei the Judge to settle case in the
suit Of A. A. Andrews against W. p:
Dodge ct al. This unusual motion will
be heard In chambers next week.
= In q damage suit by Andrews
against the Dodges, the defendants
won. The plaintiff asserts that he
wanted to appeal and asked the court
for settled case, and that the court
denied him this on the ground that the
time had expired. He brought man.
damus proceedings in the district court
to compel the municipal judge to settle
the case. The mandamus was dismissed
by Judge Dickinson, and now Mr.: An
drews declares that the dismissal was
due to the affdavits Of Judge Smith,
in which affant stated that no appli-
cation for settled case had been made
to him. Andrews says this is untrue
and contends that he is entitled to
have a jury pass upon the question Of
fact thus raised.

TRAINED ELEPHANTS
ARE 0YERESTIMATED

W. W; Gentry, with, Gentry Bros
shows, which open week g engagement
in Minneapolis on the lot at Thirteenth
street and Nicollet avenue next Monday
after g. study Of more than twenty years
Of the pondorous pachyderm, says that
in many instances, where elephants are
seen to slide thru their stunts with ease
and grace, their intelligence is over
estimated. ..s..-
Patience makes the elephant an apt
pupil. Of course, IN some cases, there
are exceptions. Indian elephants have
been known to learn tricks In an hour
which it took an African elephant three
weeks to master. r 80
Usually the Indian elephant Is more
apt than the African. Yet the Indians
have their stupid moments. A huge
female, which fell down hopelessly in
attempting the head-balane cling trick,
learned to play the piano and walk the
bottles in three lessons. -.
Elephants. says Mr.. Gentry, are mis-:
chievous and will often initiate school
children. They will break their chains
in order to be contrary. There is little
| fear Of an outbreak, or a stampede, be:
cause, as rule, the keepers are well
fortified and the elephants know this.
With Gentry Bros shows is one Of
! the largest and beut-trained herds OF
elephants ever seen in America. !.

CITY WORK Frs PAY
IS RAISED TO 81.
MAYOR SIGNS RAND RESOLUTION
AFTER CONSULTATIONS 81
Executive Declares that Under Present
Conditions 20 Cents an Hour Is Not
]. Excessive for Good Men-Increase
Will Shorten Work Of Season About
Ten Days

Mayor Jones today signed the resolu.
ton fixing the pay of laborers on city
work at s. day of eight hours. \ Mr..
Jones has looked carefully into the mat
ter, having taken counsel with contrac-
tors and other large employers of labor
council leaders including President Mer-
rill, Aldermen Holmes, Schoonmaker,
Van Nest, Walker, Hertig and Rand,
the father of the resolution. H
The aldermen were divided on the
question, some arguing that it was In
advisable to change the wage schedule
in the middle Of the season when all
the plans had been made on the basis
Of $1.95 day. It might mean the cur
tailment of much needed improvements
for the year was one argument. An
fixed is in excess Of the market value.
This was disputed by Mr.. Rand, : who
declared that the best grade Of laborers
are being paid Is cents an hour. It is
mistake, he said, to assume, that 1t! is
snap to work on the public improve
ments, such as sewers and paving. The
work in itself is Of the heaviest kind,
and the foremen keep the men going,
as they are az anxious to make records
as foremen in the employ Of con-
tractors. .*~-
Mayors Opinion. =
Mayor Jones said that 1t has always
been his idea that the city should en-
courage good wages, provided sat
isfactory return is made in work. He
has been advised by many Of his
! friends that wages are high, 6rst-class
men scarce, and that under the present
conditions rs cents an hour is not .ex:
cessive. While Of the opinion that the
resolution should have been. presented
before the season began, he could not
see where it would make much differ
ence, aside from curtailing the season
about ten days.
| It is understood that the aldermen
are not to be bound by the resolution
in the ward work, each ward being per
mitted to fix the compensation indie
pendently Of the others.

Rio Grande to the Canadian border.
The change since then has been won

before it. There Is a field for all it
can produce and there are adequate
facilities for taking it to market.
Nothing could please me better
