8 PAY BIG DIVIDENDS. - A Different Story of the Profits Made by the Ele vator Companies. Copies of Letters and Adver tisements Showing Big Dividends- Witness Jenson Tells of Bull dozing* Methods Against Buyers. Representative Ejor^e Tells a Story Somewhat in This Strain. Yesterday's testimony showed a marked discrepancy in the profits of running an elevator and buying wheat from the hDrny-handcd granger. C. A. Pillsbnry had told the committee last week there was no profit nowadays in the wheat storage, business, but it re mained for "Doc" Fish to produce copies of letters and advertisements {7. •'TCk^C. from the elevator m c n themselves that a very large capitalizat I o li nearly to millions in each case — handsome d i v I (lends were real ized, sometimes running as high as 36 per cent. "Doc" would not tell where he got the letters, but the committee put them in evidence just the same. This was the prin cipal outcome of yesterday. Several more grain buy- ers had been summoned, but all of them did not turn up. 11. 11. Wells, of Her mann, was badly wanted, but the ser geant-at-arms reported he was not in the city. and a peremptory mandate was Bent him. 11. P. Bjorge, the fiery Alliance prohibitionist, was on hand and told ids story, and so did Christ Jensen, the young man of the Nelson Union Store company, who received the now famous Shelby letter. Jensen confirmed the receipt of the let ter and told of the evident effect of the h?. Bjorsl.. threat it con tained. He then said: "After 1 had received this letter, Mr. Pea body. traveling intent of the Great Northern, called ou me and urged me to conform to list prices. After wards 1 received a second .letter from Mr. Shelby, telling me 1 had belter write to Frank Irons and get daily prices. At no time did the company threaten me, refuse me cars, or otherwise injure my business, al though 1 kept on paying more than list prices." It is possible the end will not be reached totlav. as was anticipated. There is still about £2.000 of the appro priation remaining, and the grain grow er.- are anxious to utilize it to the last in making their case. 810 ELEVATOR PROFITS. Letters and Advertisements \*. blch Tell Their Own Story. In the afternoon "Doc" Fish, of the Great West, was called, and testified re lative to certain statistics published in his paper regarding profits of elevator companies in the Northwest. In answer to a request from France asking for in formation as to amount of grain raised In Minnesota ami the Dakotas. and the rate of interest paid on Capital invested. C. M. Arosden had replied that the amount of wheat raised yearly was from 150,000.000 to 100,000,000 bushels. His company had 140 elevators, and the an nual amount handled was iiom 8,000,000 to 10,000.000 bushels, and his opinion was that the amount would he increased, as the country was still new and unde veloped. The rate of interest paid for ■such Investments was from 5 to 7. per cent. It was a close corpora tion, and the stock was mostly owned by the Piilsburys. The com pany's dividends ranged from 20 to 40 per cent, and in some instances averaged 30 per cent. Another letter of inquiry was addressed to S. A. Harris, president of the Northwestern National bank, in reference to the condition of the North ern Pacific "Elevator company, Minne apolis & Northern company and the Lake Superior Elevator company. Mr. Harris' replv In the letter published was that the paid up capital stock of the Northern Pacific company was $650,000; average dividend paid, 36 per cent. The Minneapolis & Northern's paid up stock was -(835,000, and the average div idend paid was reported for the last live years at 30 per cent. In the case of the Northwestern Elevator company the capital stock was [riven at 5700,000, and annual dividends for the past six years averaged 23 per cent. The Lake .Supe rior Elevator company was reuorted in a prosperous condition. A postscript was appended announcing that the re turns of the Minneapolis & Northern company would have shown greater profits had the company handled its own business. Its purchases were usually on commission. _S9B.V_SM Still another letter was read from A. B. Bobbins, of the Northwestern Ele vator company, addressed to IL C. F. Stuart, giving the condition of his com pany's Ih-Siness, In this letter he placed the annual yield at 00,000.000 bushels; amount handled yearly by the company ♦••••^^t^^c-a y i_Ll&S^ Vv - It is (bear) bare comfort when suffering all the ills of an outraged and disordered stomach when you are troubled probably with slight rheumatic pains, catarrh, fatty degeneration, a pulseless obesity, to have palmed off oh you some quack and cheap imitations of the world-renowned Carlsbad Spru del Salts, but don't be deceived any more.

The custom of his company was to sell daily for future delivery. The company, he said, never lost a cent on its business. In closing he*, gave a number of first-class references and at tached a schedule of the profits of that elevator company. Attorney McGee objected to the intro duction of this testimony on the ground that it consisted solely of newspaper reports. He believed that the proper way to get such evidence on the records was to sum on : Mr. Roberts, who might be able to produce either the original letters on the last case or copies of them. The committee ruled to admit them, it being in the same line as a great ileal of former testimony already submitted. A large number of similar letters from the Great West's columns were placed in evidence, nearly all t"iiding to show the great profits of the elevators. On the cross-examination Mr. Fish de clined to give the source from which he procured the letters. . "Did you get them from C. C. Wolcott." "I decline 10 answer." "Did you get any of them from Frank Blakesley?" "I act-line to answer." "Did you take the letters to the elevator companies?" "1 did.*' "Did yon suggest to them that if you were raid a certain sum you would not publish these letters?"'*- . "No. sir; I did not. I never went without witnesses. I knew whom I was fighting." "Do you decline to submit lo cross-ex amination on this matter?" "1 do." "That is all." In reply to another question from Mr. Erwin Mr. Fish testified to the publica tion in a London paper of an advertise ment containing affidavits showing that the elevator system subsequently ab sorbed by the Van Deusen company paid in three years an annual profit ranging from 22 to 28 per cent. The ad vertisement was one seeking to induce capitalists to purchase debenture bonds of the company. ''"'; THREATS BY RAILROADS. Bjorge, of the "Last House, Tells His Story. 11. P. Bjorge, of Underwood, appeared after a half hour's wait, and testilied to having bought wheat list fall, and paid higher prices than sthers. Ho testified that the agent of the Northern Pacific Elevator company endeavored to in duce him to quit buy int., and threatened lo have the paying oflice of. the elevator company removed, which was at his store. "I run a store in the town," he said, "i told him 1 coujdn't quit, as the farmers had selected us to handle their wheat. He offered to pay the man at our elevator a good salary if he would quit. He threatened that if we didn't quit bucking the elevator company it would go hard with us as it had with Hatch, of Battle Lake, whom they had run out of business, and with Branden berg, who was then on his way to state prison. This was in November, 1801/' On cross-examination by Attorney McGee the witness testified that he was not now buying; they bought as lons, as Hie wheat was coniint_ in; the ware house was owned by the farmers, and he was secretary of tlie company; it was a flat house, of about 4.000 bushels ca pacity and cost about $50' J. "We based our prices on the Duluth prices, with freight deducted, and a margin of oue to two cents.'* '•Could you buy nt a margin of two cents and keep the house open the year round?" '*! don't see why we couldn't." "Then why d:d"you quit?" '•You must understand when there was no wheat coming in there was nothing to buy." Witness thought the warehouse could have been kept open the year round if it was not so hard to handle on a mar- Kin of two cents. . By. reason of the trouble with the Northern Pacific Ele vator company prices Went up three cents, and the farmer got that much benefit. The house is still there and can be opened up at any time. Mr. Mc-Gee— l guess you weren't very badly damaged. That is all. In reply to a question from Senator Smith the witness said he not cars as easily as the Northern Pacilic Elevator company could. There being no other witnesses pres ent the committee at 4:30 adjourned to this morning at 10 o'clock. jM9B_B-__i A. Welsh, the Hermann merchant who has been summoned to .appear be fore Iho committee to testify, to an alleged state of facts similar to that developed in the case of the Nelson Union Store company, telegraphed the committee yesterday that he couldn't close his place of business to appear be fore the committee, and didn't know when he could. Gen. Childs answered that if he didn't appear the sergeant-at arms would be sent after him. .-;>.?_ W A ITERS ARE COCKY. Union Prospects Ara Bright— La- bor Do!/ xs.

THE SAINT PAUL DAILY GLOBE: WEDNESDAY MORNING, MARCH 16, 1802. A RAILROAD SETBACK The Road Cleared for Testing the City's Claim to * Broadway, Claimed by Railroads, Op posed to the Building of the Bridge. Col. Lowry Receives a Round er From Appellate Judges. A Variety of Lagal Knots Un tied for Litigants and Lawyers. The supreme court yesterday af firmed the order of the Ramsey county district court in refusing the Milwaukee railroad company's request to strike the formal demand for a second trial from the court records made by the city of St. Paul. The order of the supreme court is a biff victory for the city, as It gives it another opportunity to contest the Milwaukee company's claim to a portion of the levee and Broadway street, which the city authorities have maintained was the property of the city, and which they hope to prove at the new trial which the courts have granted. The claim on the part of both the city and the company has practically retarded the construction of the Broad way bridge, as the city has had no desire to condemn that which seemed to be its own and thus give the railroad company a tract of land worth several thousand dollars. The decision, which is written by Justice Vanderburgh, admits that the real controversy . is over the title of the locus in quo and the posses sion thereof dependent upon the ques tion of title, which possession, among other relief, the city of St. Paul seeks in its original complaint. The court in its opi nion says that "If the issue of title and right to the possession were de cided in plaintiff's (the city ot St. Paul) favor it would be entitled to recover the property in any event, which was the principal relief sought irrespective of the question of other relief, which Was altogether subordinate if not immaterial in the case. S&_MM_ a _NI "The defendant in its answer takes issue with the plaintiff on the question of its title and right of possession, and avers that it, the defendant, is now the owner and In the actual possession of the entire parcel of land described in the complaint, except a certain strip sixty-nine feet in width next the south line of blocks 4 and 3 . in Hopkins' addi tion, referred to in the complaint, and as a further defense, the defendant sets up title by adverse possession. The main issue between the parties is clearly defined. Upon a trial upon the merits the case was determined adversely to the plaintiffs on the issue of adverse possession. We have no doubt the case falls within the provisions of the stat ute {riving a second trial in actions for the recovery of real property, and the order of.the'court refusing to strike the formal demand for a second trial from the records is affirmed." The syllabus hi the case follows: - The substance of the controversy is over the title and right to the possession of the locus in quo. The principal relief sought is »ie recovery of the property, which is re sisted by tho defendant. The case falls within the statutory rule, chapter 75, section 11, General Statutes, entitling' a' defeated party in such an action to demand a second trial* The rule is not changed by the mere tact that the plaintiff in his complaint asked additional and incidental relief. Order re fusing to strike the formal demand for a sec ond trial from the records is affirmed.';',' *. * Oo Against LoK-ry, ! Col. Thomas Lowry came out second best in a case decided by the supreme court yesterday, and in which David A. Stuart is appellant and the street rail way magnate the respondent. The action was commenced over the title to certain real estate. in Minneapolis, Col. Lowry being declared the owner by the lower court, which court refused Stuart a new trial, from which he ap pealed and secured a re-Jtrsal of the order. The syllabus reads: In an action, under the statute to deter mine an adverse claim to real estate, the de feudant called upon him by his answer to disclose the nature of his claim or title, which thereupon, becomes the subject of adjudication. If he sets up a legal title, his proof must be confined to a claim of that character. If the claim is an equitable one, equitable rules and principles must govern, tinder an averment of ownership in fee he will not be permitted to show on the trial that he has succeeded to an equitable title or in terest in the real property held in trust. .Purchase. or Securities. Jofin W. Chase and Emma M. Chase, appel lants, vs. New York Mortgage Loau Com pany. Order affirmed. Vanderburgh, J. ; Whether the purchase of securities or other property or the execution of a col lateral contract by the borrower in con nection with a loan, and as a part of the consideration and inducement therefor, will make the transaction usurious, is ordinarily to be determined as a ques tion of fact in a trial court. A School .District. Charles Bank, appellant, vs. Brainerd School District, respondent. Order affirmed. Vanderburgh, J. School districts and independent: school districts under the statute are made part of the educational system of the state. They are . corporations with . limited powers, organized for public purposes, and the duties of , the trustees or boards of education intrusted with the management and care of the prop erty of such di.-triels are public and ad ministrative, only. They are not liable to individuals for mere neglect or nonfeasance in failing to make repairs. Sec. 117, eh. 30, Gen. St. 1878, which requires actions to be brought against trustees in their official capacity has not changed this rule. Support the Findings. 3eorge H. Christian, respondent, vs. Joseph A. Bowman ct al., defendants; Charles P. Ilasletine et al., appellants.. Order af firmed. Vandergurgh, J. Evidence held sufficient to support certain iindings of fact, General Laws 1887, chapter 132, was operative and ef fectual to validate the class of corpora tions therein designated, but that act did not interfere with vested rights or cut off - or destroy an existing right of action. The objection that there is a defect of parties, defendant, by reason of the nonjoinder of one of several joint obligors, must betaken by answer, or it will be deemed to be waved. Pule 9 requires assessments of error to be sep arately made and numbered. A large number of alleged errors cannot be grouped together and treated as one argumeut covering them all. The April Term. The next general term of the supreme court opens April 5, at 11 o'clock a; m., for the call of : the calendar and sitting of cases. Every attorney having a case on the calendar should be present or represented, otherwise his case maybe continued over the term. To get a case on the calendar, return and note of issue must both be filed not later than March 29. COURT CHIPS.

We have just received 30 pieces of 24-inch genuine CHINA SILKS, printed in beautiful designs and unique color effects at Lyons, France. At a very reasonable com putation for value of Silk and duties, they are actually worth $1.40. We will sell them for $1.00 Per Yard. Although not the lowost in price, these are really the cheapest Printed India Silks We have shown this season. They have the peculiar merit of being entirely different from the singu larly uniform designs of the Silks woven and printed in America, and which form the bulk of nearly every retail stock in the country. They have the additional merit of being decidedly novel and infinitely more artistic than our domestic Silks. OPPORTUNE BARGAINS In Reliable BLACK SILKS 27-inch real Japanese Twilled Black Silk for 75c Per Yard. They are worth $1.25. Black Faille Francaise, All Pure Silk, 63 Cents Per Yard. Black Satin Rhadame, All Pure Silk, 50 Cents Per Yard. Third and Minnesota Streets, ST. PAUL, MINN. MANUFACTURING SITES. We have for sale a tract of about 18 acres of land midway between St. Paul and Minne apolis, which is perhaps the best site for factories in either city. It has a spur track run ning through it, connecting it with all the railroads running into either city, except one, and also with the Minne sota Transfer. It is one of the few tracts left in the Midway Dis trict, accessible to good railroad trackage, large enough to accom modate a large manufacturing con cern, arid is therefore very valua ble. The Midway District, trav ersed in every direction by railroads and electric lines, and drawing population and business from both cities, is rapidly filling up, and a few years will see property there quadrupled in value. It is bound in trie near future to become trie great center oi population of our dual city, and trie owners of land there will be wealthy. We can sell this fine property very cheap. ODIN G.
