Hailed INTO COURT
transient Merchants" Arrested
and Taken TO st. Cloud
LAW WILL BE TfSTtD
Ffankcil & Haskell Open Store In
Wesley Building and VIII Fight
State and City

Special to The Herald:
ST. CLOUD, MINI, April 27-The
case of the state vs. Haskell & Fran
KEEL, proprietors of the Peoples Store,
was heard before Justice w. H. Al
den this morning and dismissed on
the ground that the law under which
defendants were arrested, conflicts
with the laws of 1909. Theodore
Bruener appeared for the defendants.
The passage, by the city council at
its last meeting, as stated in last
weeks issue of The Herald, of an or
dinance requiring transient mer-
chants" to paw license of $4,000 a
year in order to do business, resulted
in the arrest of l. Frankel and A.
Haskell, who, under the firm name of
Frankel & Haskell opened the ssPeo-
pies Store" in the Wesley building en-
Third street Tuesday.
Back of the city ordinance, as stated
last week, is a state law enacted by
the 1911 Minnesota legislature requir-
ing transient merchants to take
out county license of $4,000 a year
before doing business. This law is
very stringent in it's provisions, re-
quiring such merchants to make affi-
davit as to where they purchased their
goods, where they propose to sell
them, etc.
Messrs. Frankell & Haskell opened
Itheif.fstore in the Vessey building
Tuesday, but did not take out either
county or city license.
I On Tuesday Alderman L. w. Gin
gerry, president of the city council,
visited ST. Cloud and laid the matter
| before the county attorney. A war
rant was sworn out charging VIOLA
ton of state law, and on Wednes-
day Deputy Sheriff Jas. Connolly
came to Sank Centre and served it on
the proprietors Of the store. Mr..
Connolly and Messrs. Frankel and
Haskell took the early train for st.
Cloud this morning and the hearing
is in progress there today
The contention of the city is that
it is unfair to permit merchants to
come here with stocks of goods, put
on special sales, remain a brief period
and then leave, taking with them
money that should 60 to local dealers.
The city council passed the ordinance
| in question upon the request of q
number of local merchants. 49,.
While Mr.. Gingery swore out the
warrant for the arrest of Messrs. Has
kell and Frankel he did it as pri-
yate citizen, though in behalf of the
council, as it is considered desirable
to have the law tested as regards it's
Iconstitutionality. 1t is. the state law
and not the city ordinance that is in
volved in the action at st. Cloud.
In an interview with The Herald
Wednesday evening Mr.. Haskell said
that he regarded both the state law
and the city ordinance unc ON
stitutional and that there was MOTH
ing that he knew of that would pre-
vent anyone entering town and
opening a store. He said that he
would fight the case and stand for his
rights. He also stated that he had
| leased the Wesley building for year
and the Peoples Store would be per-
manent thing in Sank Centre.
The city council met at ten o'clock
this morning and passed an ordinance
fixing the license of transient mer-
chants at $4,000.

grand jury which Investigated the
Times building disaster of October /,
In which 81 persons were killed. The

declared that the submission Of such
report would be contrary to law.
He made the following statement:
publication of what purports to be

a high-power explosive, and that the
origin of the catastrophe may be
found by the destruction wrought by
this agency.

awe action of Illuminating gas. The
possibility of gas being the destroy
ing force, received consideration. We
found not one physical fact, we heard
no expert testimony Of one witness
which made such an hypothesis.
while we are satisfied from the
testimony that the perpetrators of
this terrible catastrophe have prob
ably been members of labor unions,
we had no testimony that any labor
organization, as such, participated In
the commission of this crime"

Throughout the re- mainder of the session the market showed decided strength Gains were well maintained to the close, which was firm at d level well above the final prices of last week The reil- road issues were especially strong and in this connection much emphasis was placed on December reports of some of the largest systems. The Hill and Hartman stocks were par ticularly strong and active. Reading. St Paul, Lehigh and New York Central all responded to the upward move ment
 The Northern Pacific's December re- turns were conspicuously favorable, with an increased net income of SS4, 900. and in operating revenue, S6f4,- 900 Although the gain in Southern Pacific was only S9O00. the showing was encouraging in view of the fact that for the first half of the year there was a net decrease of $64l,OOO. Steel was under pressure during the morning. as were others of the active issues. but recovered later and crossed 79.

The Chinese Plague.

The Chinese plague. which within the past week has attracted the atten- ton of the entire medical world. is unique in it's record of fatalities. Ev- cry case is fatal. There has not been single case of recovery. and death generally follows within twenty four hours after the first symptoms of the disease are shown The great pro vince of Manchuria. the northern pro vince of China, is the present field of the plaques ravagcs. although cases have developed at Picking and other points hundreds of miles south within the past few days. On account of the the Chinese government professcs con fidence that the plague will not make headway there: but it was slow in spreading in Manchuria, at first. so it is to be feared that the Chinese authorities are over-confident The present virulencc in Manchuria is in dicatcd by dispatch from Harbin. stating that the authorities have or dered the burning of 2,O00 bodies of victims
 The first dispatches from China were in error in describing the pesti- fence as the bubonic plague Japan ese bacterioligists in Manchuria have found by the microscope that the. ba- cillus of the plague is identical with the bacillus of bubonic plague. but there is little similarity in the disease symptoms The new plague confines itself to the lungs. causing immediate death from pneumonia. Moreover. the infection is not carried by rats and flea bites. as in the case of bubonic plague, but is infectious from personal contact-the poisonous germs being carried by the breath from one person to another. The filthy and crowded quarters in which the Chinese live are of course conducive to the spread of the disease.
 Like all plaques, this one finds it's welcome among filthy people and filthy surroundings. and probably American and European people will not have much occasion to fear it. The Japanese railroad-captured iron the Russians-running from Harbin to the eastern coast of China. and the Trans Siberian railroad. running from Harbin to Vladivostock on the eastern coast of Asia and to Russia on the west. offer opportunities for the plague to be carried to civilized nations.
