WHAT THE POLICE DO [Mayor's Secretary Prepares Figures "'' for Tax Levy Board. George P. Douglas, private secretary j,to the mayor, is preparing a statement of j.what the police department does for the cClty in addition to guarding property and Lferreting out crime. In one way or an other, the police department brings about j. $460,000 into the city treasu ry annually. - Under the supervision of the license in spector and his assistant, there Is col lected nearly $400,000 in license fees. Of course, a great deal comes in voluntarily, fcbut few licenses would be paid if it was -not-known that the police department was Charged- with the. duty of collecting licenses. . ' The fines paid into the police court are, ,cf course, due almost wholly to the activ ity of the police and here is another item of about $50,000 to the.credlt.of the police. The official dog catcher is a member of | the police force and it is plain that if -there was nb' dog Catcher, few licenses would be paid. Here is another item of several thousands. The department sup plies seve men as municipal court offi cers, saving the court an expense of $7,000. These figures have been prepared by ^Ir. Douglas for the board of tax levy and will be used as an argument to convince that body that the police department which brings in almost a half a million should not.be Ignored when an effort is made to increase its efficiency.

Acting on information received from Duluth last night, pickets met the North ern Pacific train at St. Paul and the Great Northern train at North Town Junction, and when the tralnB arrived in Minneapolis, the new men had decided that they, would not go to work. Before they reached this decision, how ever, the employment ^agents had deliv ered to $he milling companies the checks for the men's' baggage and it had been hauled down to the mills. When the thirty-two men marched into the Washburn-Crosby office and an nounced their determination to go back on their contracts, and their desire to get their baggage back, the situation was somewhat strained, especially wh en a picket named Fred Lumsden invaded the company's private offices in company with Detective Brown and demanded the return of the men's baggage. The matter was finally laid before Chief of Police Conroy, who gave the men his guarant ee that they would be allowed to go into the mills and get their baggage unmolested. The milling companies agreed to this,: but thought they should have a chance "to talk with the men before the latter quit tttem outright. Nothmg-wars gained by this talk - ho w ever, and the milling companies finally decided to give the men their baggage. "We have taken, down a good many more i men\to-day-than we hav e just lost','"' said a representative of the Washburn-Crosby company, "and we will get some of these men back* anyway." - The latter say that they came under a misapprehension that the strike had been .settled..", Many are experienced in the milling business. - Flour Shipments Increase.

A t the closing meeting of the board* this morning sev eral members declared in favor of. a 100 per cent basis next year, when both real estate and personal property assessments will come up for review. A resolution was adopted by the board to-day, directing the state auditor to in struct all assessing officers next year that they must return assessments on all prop erty, from $1 up. They are not to disre gard assessments of less than $100. It is for the county auditor and not the as sessor to make the exemptions. The session closed with several informal speeches.

It was not a hardship to make a general increase in assessments, since that mak es possible a decreased t ax levy. . State Auditor Iverson estimates that the board added $13,000,000 to personal prop erty values. As $144,000,000 were returned, the total is brought up to $157,000,000.

As the total last year was .$761,000,000, there should be a reduction in the average - - tax levy. La st year it was 4.3 mills for the entire state.

' The number and promi nence of those present reflected the favor which the institution has won during the past two years. The famous Tennessee .quartet and mandolin club discoursed mu sic during the intermissions, and they seem to.have won a place in the musical hearts of those present. The first numb er on the program was the performance of some unusual and dif ficult feats on the parallel bars by Messrs. Dye, Hartson, Haeberle and Ecklund, who have distinguished themselves on state university teams. Fred, L. Burns, the wrestling instructor of the Institute, dem onstrated his superiority over M. N. Web ster of St. Paul, In a wrestling match by putting his opponent to the mat twice out of three times. Webster exhibited much cleverness, but Burns took advantage of the opportunity to prove himself equally clever. The fencing bgut created the most in terest, altho both Messrs. Plummer and Smith freely acknowledged that it was a decidedly one-sided affair and paid high tributes to Professor Leslabay, their op ponent, who is the new- fencing mast er of the institute. Mr. Plummer, who is pres ident of the Twin City Fencing club, in a short speech enthusiastically welcomed Professor Leslabay to the twin cities and stated that he was one of the cleverest fencers in the United States. Professor Leslabay for a number of years was fenc ing instructor in the French army Drug Store.- _". ' : ^ J due to the efforts and the testimony of his "pal," Joseph Hencir.

Cutts, general passenger agent ticket agent of the St. Louis, to take ef fect about Oct. 10, When Mr. Caldwell leaves for the'coast. In railroad circles the advancements are taken to be proper tributes to the effici ency of the two men. Mr. Hathaway goes from a system of a"bout 1,500 miles to one/, six times larger. Mr. Caldwell returns to his home state and takes up a work with which he is thoroly familiar. Both are young men, but both have served their individual lines for many years.

Messrs. Edwards and Tiname came next with a boxing exhibition. Mr. Edwards, who is the boxing instructor for the insti tute, took the defensive and guarded himself with ease against Tim-me, who is one of his pupils. Timme, however, dem onstrated that he is a comer of no mean ability. Dr. L. J. Cooke, physical director of th state university and founder of the insti tute, gave a short illustrated talk on body building and health-maintaining by pre scribed exercises. The talk, while not long or detailed, was very instructive and was most enthusiastically received by his listeners. *jThe entertainment wound up with further demonstrations of" skill bV the university students and a fast game of handball interspersed with music. This handball court is the finest in the north west. Everybody expressed entire satis faction with the evening's entertainment and several voluntarily applied for mem bership in the institute. !M ADDITION TO MENU State Wards Will Have Some Choice Game on the Bill of Fare. Sam F . Fullerton has turned over to the state board of contra! 2.500 ducks seized by Captain William Bird of Fairmont, and now in cold storage in St. Paul. They will be distributed to several of the state in stitutions, along with 100 prairie chickens and other confiscated game in storage. Evidence has been obtained against Wil liam-Kerr, the Lakefleld game dealer who shipped the Ave wagon loads of ducks, and a warrant will be issued for his ar rest. H e is liable to a fine of $10 to $25 for each bird, so. he could be assessed something like $620,000 if convicted of making the shipment. The seizure was actually made in Iowa, as the pursuing party did not reach the wagons till they were across the line and waiting at the railroad station in Mont gomery, Iowa. The largest seizure ever made up to this time was 1,800 ducks near in Moor head. THE^HORT HOUR STORE NIC0LLETAVE-FIR3TAVESO-FIFTH ST.
