Elwell for $40,000. The flats were built about nine years ago by Erlck Lund, who put up the Douglas school and several of the university buildings. Mr. Lund la going to Cape Nome, where his son is, and concluded to dispose of this property where he now lives. The Seville and Savoy wer among the first of the new flat style of building to be erected in the city, but were wel lbuilt and have been kept thoroughly to date.

The two buildings contain sixteen flats. The management will remain with the Nickels Smith agency. Hiram H. Thayer, treasurer, will erect for the Hale Homestead company a flvestory and basement brick building on Fifth street between First avenue and Second avenue, directly across the alley from the corner building erected by the company and now occupied by Boutelle Brothers and the Bintllff company. The building will be erected after the plans of Charles S.

Sedgwick by Pike Cook, general contractors. The dimensions of the building, which is to be arranged for stores, will be 50 feet on Fifth street and 157 feet deep. A shipping-room will be provided on the alley side of the store between it and the corner store. This alley will be bridged connecting the two edifices. The tenants have been already secured, but the names have not been given out.

This morning the old building on the site was demolished and work on the basement excavation wil begin at once. This mornig two buQding permits were taken out amounting together to (70,000. One was for the Maodonaid flats building at 2107-2109 Blaisdell avenue, a four-story and basement brick building costing to be completed Oct. 1. The other was taken out by Irene Hale for the store building above mentioned at 112-114---116 Fifth street S.

Abraham Harris, of Harris Brothers, who purchased the old courthouse, sheriff's residence and Jail, is considering a plan for the erection of a $40,000 modern flat building on the site of the jail and residence. The plan calls for frontage of 136 feet on Fifth street and a depth running back to the alley. It is very probable that Mr. Harris will also erect a flat building on the site of the old courthouse.

The management of the Golden West Hotel is planning some changes in the hotel, which will be made in case the co-operation of the owners of the building can be secured. The proposition is to have the office enlarged, tile floor laid and numerous small changes which will improve the building generally. A PATRIOTIC RALLY City C. E.

Local implement men regard the farm implement combine as almost a certainty. Recent, advices state that mo6t of the big eastern concerns have granted the option requested by the promoters. It is now practically settled that all of the large western concerns will Join with the exception of four. These are the LaCrosseu the Racine and the Jaaesville Plow companies and the Beloit company. Of the eastern concerns the Oliver Plow company Is the only one that has thus far refused to enter the agreement.

The combination is to have a capitalization of $70,000,000. WHEELER DELAYED President of Electrical Did Not Come This Morning. President Wheeler of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers failed to arrive this morning, out is expected later in the day. The striking electricians have called a meeting for this evening at Alexander's hall to listen to his address. The local situation will be fully discussed.

Matters are absolutely at a standstill neither side making an advance. It was noised about that two electrical workers had arrived for the purpose of taking the places of the strikers, but a careful search of the town failed to dispose them. One of the larger firms is reported to have sent for six men, but this has not been substantiated. The men say they are turning business away from contractors refuse to sign the proposed scale. It is estimated that three-fourths of the Irish members of Parliament are teetotalers.

IMPLEMENT HOUSES What Effect Will New Trust Have on Them? DEPENDS ON VEHICLE COMBINE If Latter sl. Effected Local Look for Policy of rut ion. Implement- men lucllne to the belief that the formation of the implement trust will make little material diflerenece to the agencies in Minneapolis. Oh the lines now proposed, the trust will include cultivating machinery, such as plows, corn cultivators and harrows. The Minneapolis Implement agency is something more than a mere agency.

Each is a Jobbing house carrying various lines of implement merchandise, much of which is not manufactured by the parent concern, but must be bought by the resident manager. Mixed carloads are the general rule in the northwest and the implement agency that makes a success niuat carry all of the lines that the retail dealer is likely to ask for when making a purchase. One of these is vehicles, such as buggies, wagons'and bicycles. These the trust must buy and it must have managers and force enough to look after the business. It is the rule of every trust to economize on men and methods wherever possible, and the implement men say that a few changes In system might be made if the combine is formed, but la the main the present machinery for the distribution of goods at this point would be maintained.

There are four buildings here occupied by machinery firms that will- -became the property of the truet when the deal Is consummated. The fact that there are several Important lines which the implement agencies are forced to buy and which the trust will have to buy gives rise to discussion of the possible success, of the trust in vehicles and kindred lines, on which promoters have been at work for some time. It is conceded that the organization of such a combine, working in harmony with the implement trust, will make a difference to all of the machinery distributing points in the United States as better facilities for boiling the "system" down would be afforded. All of the Implement men are doing a big business. Trust talk has started the orders for fall goods.

The retail dealer anticipates a raise in price and wants to be in on the ground floor. The farmer who will want a new plow in the fall is making hU arrangements now. TO MOBILIZE THE SMITHS PLAN OF OXE ELIPHAIET SMITH A Big Reunion at Will Xot Be Represented. The invitation extended the Smith family of Minnesota to attend the big gathering of the Smiths from Ohio, Connecticut and Xew York at Buffalo the latter part of this month and the first of next came too late for the North Star Smiths to get together and name a delegation. The Minneapolis Smiths talk of organizing with the Intention of being in better shape to take advantage of such invitations in future.

It is estimated that Minnesota has 11,000 members of the Smith family, which is a larger number in proportion to population than most states in the union have. It was this fact which brought the North Star state to the attention of Eliphaiet Smith, an Ohio man, who has conceived the idea of forming a national aasociatlon of members of the Smith family with the idea of holding an annual convention at some central point with state and county reunions to sustain local interest in the movement. Although meeting discouragement at every turn of the road, Eliphaiet has kept industriously at work on his pet project, and now has several states interested. Minneapolis Has 1.300. Minneapolis has about 1.800 Smiths, and all of them are proud of the name.

St, Paul, being a smaller town, has less Smiths than Minneapolis. It is carefully estimated that 875 is the number. Duluth is given 275. In the work of organizing the Smiths of the state the services of some man are needed who can give the work much time. This was the main objection advanced by Ernest F.

Smith of Smith Zimmer this morning when asked if he could aid the movement in Minnesota. He said that he could not participate actively in the movement because he could not spare the time from hia business. Conventions Here. An attractive feature about this movement from a Minneapolis standpoint is that if the Minneapolis Smiths succeed in starting the ball in good shape, the atate conventions of the Smiths will be held in Minneapolis. Xo other city in the state has a building that will accommodate such a big gathering of people as the reunion of the Smiths would bring.

State Senator E. E. Smith has been mentioned as a possibility for the presidency of the Minnesota Association of Smiths. He is well known through the state and has an especially good acquaintance among the Smith family. Senator Smith has studied the family tree from the earliest times.

STRIKE STILL DRAGS But To-night May See a Tnrn One Way or Another. Two meetings called for this evening are Interesting the striking machinists a great deal, as either or both may have an important bearing on their strike. The meeting of employers' association at the West Hotel ii quite likely to hear something from the delegates to Chicago, which will determine the course to be pursued in settling or continuing the local trouble. The strikers are still Insistent that the eastern concerns will sign the agreement, and iv that event the twin city manufacturers will not delay very long In following their example. There can be no compromise locally without special permission, as the strike is handled by the international officers.

The molders' union meets this even-Ing and will talk of the strike. There Is close bond between the machinists and motders, and latter may show their friendship in a material way. The molders and machinists had a conference last evening, as a result of which tht former will take some action this evening. A leading member of the union asserted today that there were not to exceed six bona fide machinists at work in town to-day. The others in the shops were foremen, owners and apprentices.

Seven non-union machinists sent hi their applications yesterday and are not working to-day. Secretary A. W. Strong of the twin city employers' association, who has kept in touch with the strike all over the country, says that the indications are that the employers will hold out to a finish and will not give in. He says that the Associated Press reports from various places are exaggerated and misleading.

The dispatches state that eighteen firms have signed the machinists' agreement, whereas be has a letter from a Cleveland house which he has every reason to believe is reliable, stating that there have been no desertions and that none of the concerns have signed, except a very few email ones which probably do not employ more than half a dozen men between them. The employers of machinists in St. Paul were organised evening at the Windsor Hotel. The men were organized last Saturday, and their action prompted their employers to get quickly in line. About twenty-five of them joined St.

Paul branch of the employers' organization. Russian newspapers are usually diplomatic. When the relations between Uncle Sam and the Bear are strained they tain that the feelings are most cordial between them. A WILL FORCE FIGHT R. R.

Commission Will Try to Make Ore Roads File Rates. A PROGRAM HAS BEEN OUTLINED The Authority of the Commliilon Will Be Settled Change of Front. The railway and warehouse commUslon tackled the iron ore rate case yesterday. It held a secret session of an hour and a half with Attorney General Douglas and Senator Clapp. The latter has been retained as counsel.

As a result of the conference it is likely that proceedings will be begun to compel the iron ore roads to file their ore rates, and thus acknowledge the authority of the commission to regulate such rates. If the commission acts on the advice of the two attorneys it will bring such proceedings. The commissioners have been disposed to let the matter drag along until the hearing, which is to take place July 9. and then to have both questions tried at once, that of the commission's authority over the ore rates, and that as to whether the rate fixed by the commission is reasonable. One is a question of law; the other a question of fact.

What the Say. Messrs. Clapp and Douglas agreed, however, in advising the commission to settle the question of law first. They advised the commission to serve notice on the offending roads, directing them to file copies of their rate Bheets before a certain date, or to show cause for not doing so. If they refuse, the commission can institute mandamus proceedings.

This will compel a decision as to the commission's authority. That once settled, the decks will be cleared for the questions of fact. Advice to Be Followed. Meanwhile, the roads will get their hearing before the commission. That body will probably change front to the extent of following the advice, but it will re-open the case, suspend the order of the last commission while the hearing is pending, and not require the roads to concede any- thing.

It has not yet suspended the order, but the roads have begun to ship their ore, and are disregarding the rates ordered in by the old commission. The roads have prepared for an unusually heavy output this year, and will probably ship it all under'the old contract The Duluth Iron Range, it is estimated, ship 5,000,000 tons of ore this year, as against 4,000,000 last season. The mandamus action advised by Messrs. Douglas and Clapp could have been brought any time this year. Had it been begun early, a decision could have been had from the state supreme court spring.

It will not be possible to reach it now before fall. A CAPTAIN IS NEEDED FOR BLALL'S BASEBALL. If LAY Hits A Doable-Header Will Be Played With St. Joe To-morrow-' First Game at 2. The need of a good field captain for the Minneapolis baseball team is quite apparent, and pPresldent Beall is probably better aware of it than any one.

He has been scouring the country for some one, but has failed thus far. Cockman is making the best he can out of the job, but he will be overtaken by nervous prostration if forced to continue. Jack Glasscock may play at first, after all. The imperative need of a "head" for the team may call him out even if he can't make a hit, once in ten trials. In case the veteral goes to first Tannehill will be sent to third as the team, on account of his heavy batting cannot afford to let him go.

To-day a double header with St. Joseph will be played. The first game will be called at 2 o'clock. The change Is made in order to give the St. Joes' a chance to get to Kansas City in time for a morning game on Memorial Day.

The morning Memorial Day game between Minneapolis and St. Paul will be played at Nicollet park at 10 o'clock. MAY BUY A TENT Minneapolis May Undertake Outdoor Work.

Thomas Wheeler, grand president of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, arrived inthe city to-day to look after the strike of the local union. Mr. Wheeler's home is in Cleveland, but he comes here from Chicago, where the organization maintains its headquarters. The strikers are feeling much pleased over the situation They announce that the H. L.

Hough Electric company signed the new scale to-day. The striters also boast that they have deprived the electrical contractors of several jobs since the strike began, that no union man will work on any building 1 here non-union electricians are employed, ana that rather than have a big strike owners and contractors give their Jobs of wiring to electrical firms which have come to an agreement with their men who have been out.

DR. BYRNES MIXED Authority of Hospital House Physician in Emergency. THE MYRE SHOOTING CASE The Inquest a Clash Between Two of Medicine.

Hubert W. Myre, the 16-year-old son of Andrew Myre, living at 1001 East Twentysecond Btreet, was accidently shot by hla companion and cousin, Fred Blooingren, Saturday afternoon while the two were returning from a hunting excursion to Lake of the Isles, and died at the city hospital after an operation about 1 o'clock the next morning. The bullet was from a 22-calibre rifle and struck the boy In the abdomen and ranged upward, penetrating the stomach, diaphragm, liver and left lung. The boy, after long and tedious delay, wae removed to ihe city hospital in the patrol wagon and the case assigned to Dr. T.

J. Gray of the homeopathic Bide of the hospital. Dr. Gray did not immediately respond, being informed by Dr. Clark, he au.ys, thai the pulse and temperature were normal and that there was no immediate call for an operation.

Later he visited the boy, probed the wound, and decided that the time was not opportune for an operation. Later in the evening City Physician Byrnes summoned Dr. Gray to the hospital for an operation, insisting that it was necessary to take speedy action to save the boy'a life. Drs. Gray and Aldrich of the hospital staff performed the operation, with Dr, Came, also a homeopath, assisting.

An hour later the boy died. Yesterday Coroner Williams and a jury made a searching investigation into the facts of the shooting and especially the circumstances surrounding the boy's treatment at the city hospital, to determine if there had been any neglect on the part of the hospital authorities. Drs. Clark, Byrnes, Gray, Aldrich, Came, Murphy and Leland were heard, and at the conclusion the jury returned the following verdict: The Verdict. Hubert Myre came to his death by a gunshot wound, such shot came from a gun In the hand 3of Fred Bloomgren, which was accidental.

Said accident occurred about 1:30 p. May 1901, on railroad track near Lake of the Isles boulevard. We, the jury, recommend that the rules of the city hospital be so changed so that any or all cases hereafter coming to said hospital may receive immediate attention. Two Clash. There was nothing brought out at the hearing bearing directly on the conditions of neglect and incompetency at the hospital as charged, but there was developed a positive contention between the two schools represented there.

Drs. Gray, Aldrich and Came of the homeopaths, insisted that the condition of the Myre boy was such, as indicated by the symptoms, and corroborated by the facts of the operation and the autopsy, that an immediate operation was not only not warranted but would have taken away the only chance the boy had for life. They said that there was nothing to do but watch the case and await developments. City Physician Byrnes and Dr. Clark, on the other hand, both "regulars," insisted strongly that an immediate operation was called for and that it was the only chance the boy had for life.

They based their judgment on the facts of the operation and the autopsy, leaving the symptoms out of the question. Drs. Murphy and Leland, also regulars, who conducted the autopsy, sided with their brethren of the old school, testifying that in their judgment the case was one demanding immediate operation and the sooner the better. The boy wes shot about 1 o'clock, arrived at the hospital about was examined about 6:30 by Dr. Gray, and the operation was held about 10:30.

The boy died about 1 o'clock the next morning. Clark's Authority. Much of the significance of the hearing this morning hinged on the statements of Drs. Byrnes and Clark, regarding the authority of the latter under the rule of the board of corrections and charities, which says: "No house officer shall administer an anaesthetic or perform any surgical operation without the permission of the visiting physician or the superintendent." Upon the practice under this rule depends to a considerable extent the point of responsibility in an emergency case like that of the Myre boy. Dr.

Clark insisted that under that rule he had no authority to perform an operation no matter what the emergency, thus throwing all the responsibility in this instance upon Dr. Gray, the surgeon in charge of the case. Dr. Byrnes, apparently, was not just clear in his own mind in the matter. He first testified that Dr.

Clark had no such authority and would be open to censure if he did take it upon himself to perform an emergency operation, but later on in the course of his testimony admitted that he did have the authority, Custom. According to the statement of Dr. Gray outside of the hearing, also of attaches of the hospital, Dr. Clark has frequently performed such emergency operations, to such an extent, indeed, as to inspire complaint on the part of the visiting surgeons, who claimed he was doing it with the object of taking away their cases. While Dr.

Clark insisted at the hearing that there was call for an immediate operation in the Myre case, Dr. Gray testified that when Dr. Clark telephoned him he stated to him distinctly that the boy's pulse and temperature were normal and that there was no demand for immediate attention on the former's part. Drs. Aldrich and Came backed up Dr.

Gray stoutly, and Drs. Murphy and Leland came to the rescue of their friends of the other school. Dr. Byrnes, in answer to a question put by Dr. Gray, admitted that he (Dr.

Byrnes) was legally responsible for all that happened at the city hospital. Dr. Gray's Statement. Dr. T.

J. Gray wae quoted In a morning paper as saying that the present methods at the city hospital were not only dangerous but a disgrace to city. A rigid investigation was needed, he declared, and if held it would be found that both Dr. Byrnes and Dr. Clarke would be found to be at fault in their management.

Dr. Gray this morning, following the Myre inquest, explained his connection with that case, and stated his sentiments ac to the hospital management still further as follows: I have carefully refrained from uttering any criticism of the city hospital management, oelievlng that time would bring the best and speediest reform. I served on the surgical staff under Dr. Weston and was always satisfied that both the administration of the business affairs and the care of the sick would compare favorably with the best hospitals In the country. The atmosphere of the hospital, the esprit de corps of the Internes, nurses and attendants was all that could be desired.

Under the present management this has radically changed. While the board of corrections and charities has enacted all needful rules for the merciful care of the sick and injured, under the new regime there has existed a spirit and practice of captious criticism of both patients and physicians, vt.ich in my judgment is wholly subversive of the ends for which the hospital is maintained. A large body of the best physicians and rurgeons of the city are giving their time and skill to the care of the sick in the hospital without any charge whatever. These men are emitled to seme consideration and to fair treatment by the hospital authorities. It is manifestly a wrong policy to try to make them responsible for official iccoinpetency.

One of the rules of the board of corrections and charities Is that all patients are under the charge of the superintendent all the time and especially until the visiting physician arrives. This clearly defines the responsibility. In the case of Herbert Myre I was expreisly Shoe Bargains for Wednesday.

Clark himself at 3:50 p. m. that there were no indications requiring an operation. I reached the hospital at 6:30 find after a careful examination of the case with Dr. H.

C. Aldrich, my confrere on the staff, we were fully convinced the time had not yet come, and perhaps would not come at all, for undertaking one of the most formidable operations known to surgery. It appears to have been our opinion against Dr. Clark's. Dr.

Byrnes, though telephoned for, did not sea the case till near 9 o'clock. The results of the autopsy seem fully to.prove the correctness of our opinion, since the wound was necessarily, fatal. An earlier operation would have only hastened the boy's death. His only hope of life was to avoid adding, the shock of operation to the shock of the wound. Dr.

Aldrich and myself are confirmed in our opinion by Dr. Nicholas Senn," the greatest authority in such wounds. in the world. The public cannot be deceived by the attempt to make this hospital situation a quarrel between two rival schools of medicine. The homeopaths are making no fight at all.

If we have any to make we will go at to the board. We have made no appeal to the public. As citizens of Minneapolis we have a right'to know and criticise the management of the hospital. We believe it is for the humane and skilful care of the sick and Buffering. I hear and have long heard the most severe 1 condemnation of its management and there Is in my opinion sufficient ground for it.

I am ready at any minute to lay down my work there If another can be found to do it better, and I think every member of the staff in both schools feels the same as I do. It is a question of honesty and efficiency of hospital management entirely. the; OTHER SIDE Dri. Clark and Byrnes Enter Em' phatic Disclaimers. Drs.

Clark and. Byrnes either enter emphatic denials of the charges made of abuses at the city hospital, including neglect of patients and unprofessional conduct, or give versions of the circumstances calculated to modify the force of the charges. In the case of the D. P. Jones and Lowry servant girls, they that they had medicine and attention in plenty, and all the comforts possible under the crowded conditions at the contagious ward.

It was nothing new to compel convalescent patients to assist In the work of the. ward, they say; In fact, it is the regular custom. Misa Malmberg, the Lowry servant, was not seriously ill, and spent most of her time out of doors. Neither was it understood that she wasa private patient. No' money has been received for her care and treatment, they allege.

Dr. Clark admits that for days at a time he would not visit the contagious ward, but says there were telephone connections, and that if his services were needed he could be quickly summoned. Regarding the case of John Strom, "who died of a fractured skull- without the injury being. Dr. Clark attempts to avoid the responsibility by stating that Health Commissioner Hall was present for two hours and discovered nothing and that it was really bis case, anyway, and not the hospital physician's.

As for the charge made by a member of the hospital staff that Dr. Clark shook a young lady patient in the contagious ward because she insisted upon having a physician called to a tend a child just admitted suffering with diphtheria, Dr. Clark insists that he; di Just the proper thing; that she was hysterical and waking the whole ward without good reason. The child was sleeping peacefully and was all right. City Physician Byrnes upholds his subordinate In connection with all the charges thus far made public.

Dr. Clark is quoted in the administration organ as claiming that the inspiration for the charges made against him comes from the opposition school of medicine. Both the physicians under fire profess a desire for a thorough official Investigation. A SLOW AMBULANCE Difficulty In Getting: Young Myre to the Hospital. The case of Hubert Myre and the failure of the city hospital authorities to respond to a request for the hospital ambulance raises a question.

as to what the ambulance is there is not some rule covering emergencies. The circumstances according to FG. HoiU, who was active in caring for the boy immediately following the accident, are these: The boy was shot about 1 o'clock. Realizing that his wound might be serious Holtz went and asked for help. Word was therefore immediately telephoned the city hospital that.

a boy had been probably fatally shot and that the ambulance should be sent at once. The one who answered the 'phone curtly replied that word must be sent Dr. Kimball and an order obtained from him before the ambulance could be sent out. When asked where Dr. Kimball could be found the same person replied, "Don't know," and hung up the receiver.

After waiting two hours, having in the meantime called in Dr. Russell 'and otherwise done all they could for the boy, Mrs. Waldron and her neighbors telephoned for the police patrol, which promptly responded and took the boy to the hospital. About 6:30, five hours after the city hospital had been notified that a boy had been probably fatally wounded, one of the city hospital staff appeared upou the scene to learn whether the wound the boy had received was serious enough to warrant order- ing out the ambulance. There is an old rule at the hospital to the effect that the ambulance shall not go out on a call until a member of the staff has determined whether the case is serious enough to warrant it.

This rule was recognized as a bad one and during Dr. Weston's administration was but for some reason It seems to have been resurrected by Dr. Byrnes. In the present, instance the hospital staff seems to have acted in a very leisurely manner. It was notified of the accident at 1:30 and it was not until 6:30 that an attempt was made to investigate.

TUESDAY EVENING, MAY 28. 1901. ANOTHER RECORD The State Mutual Life Assurance Company of Worcester, has a phenomenal record for stability of business. During its existence of fifty-seven years it has written $159,661,378 insurance and now has in force over 80 per cent of the whole amount written. It is the insurance which stays that pays.

It is the insurance which lapses that costs. No other company in the United States can surpass this record of the State Mutual, this notwithstanding the fact that the Massachusetts insurance law gives a larger surrender value than can be obtained elsewhere. The State Mutual policy holders stay with the company because they wish to, not because they have to. Your exact age and address to either of the undersigned will secure a fac-simile of the new State Mutual policy, and for equity, lucidity and liberality it is the ideal insurance contract. Send and get one.

S. Thorpe Juat Back From the East Talks of Conditions There. S. S. Thorpe of Thorpe Brothers has juat returned from a two-weeks' business trip In the east.

He is much pleased with what he heard concerning Minneapolis. Mr. Thorpe noted that Interest rates are higher In the east than they are here. According to the mortgage lists published in New York papers more than half of the mortgages on eastern property are at 6 per cent interest. Very are at per cent.

No trouble Is experienced in getting 5 per cent on good New York and Brooklyn. Hence there is no special inducement for investors' sending their money west. Last week the Chemical National bank was loaning on stock certificates at 7 per cent, while money could procured in Minneapolis banks on wheat certificates at a much lower rate. Mr. Thorpe says that although Minneapolis in her development needs large amounts of.

eastern capital, and 5 per cent money is asked for, whereas New Yorkers are putting out their money right at home -at the same or better rates. Competition has reduced money rates in Minneapolis. The loan companies and agents bid against one another and.consequently depress the market. A New York Life Insurance company officer said to Mr. Thorpe: "What's the use of loaning money out west.

when we can get the same rate here at home?" Only recently this company allowed a 5 per cent $90,000 good mortgage to be paid off in the twin cities rather than renew it at per cent. Mr. Thorpe says that if agents would encourage better rates Minneapolis could get more eastern money. Mr. Thorpe is thoroughly impressed upon his return with the prospects of the Flour city and says that we are going to see things move in Minneapolis during the next two years.
