VIOLENCE MARKS
TELEPHONE STRIKE
TWO MEN LIKELY TO LOSE THEIR
EYESIGHT.
Clashes in Northeast Minneapolis and
Downtown District Between Strikers,
Their Sympathizers, and Construc
tion Men Employed by Phone Com-
paniesMissiles Hurled at Workers.
Strong-arm methods marked the
struggle between the telephone compa
nies and the striking line and construc
tion men in two clashes between work
ers and strikers late vesterdav, and two
men may lose their sight. Officials
of the telephone companies say the po
lice are giving no protection.
In Northeast Minneapolis, the mov
ing of a house has been held up several
days by the strikers. Under the ordi
nance, the telephone companies must
cut the wire to allow the nouse to paBS.
Whenever this has been attempted,
union strikers or their sympathizers,
have collected and made work impos
sible. Yesterday another attempt was
made to cut the wires and in a dem
onstration by the strikers stones and
decayed vegetables and eggs were used.
Angered by a blow, a workman re
turned the flre -with atones and John
Walker, a striker, was wounded the
^ye. Others on both sides were more
%T less bruised.
Origin of Trouble.
The fight occurred about 6 p.m. and
night have been far more serious. Con
testants differ as to the blame for the
affair, but the police say the strikers
and their sympathizers started the
trouble. The rocks were thrown when
streetcars passed between the police and
the strikers, who would seize the oppor
tunity to throw over the cars at a time
when the police could not see them. An
official of the telephone company said
today:
A deliberate attempt was made to
wreck our entire line along Second
street !N"E, where the poles are heavily
loaded with wires and lead cable. The
guys were cut and prompt action alone
saved us. Had there been an ordinary
windstorm, everything would have gone
down. Our superintendent and manager
were on the groTind to superintend the
work and had a crew of experienced
men.''
One of the strikers volunteered the
information that the work was not prop
erly done and that the strikers took a
hand to keep the poles and lines from
going down and endangering life and
property. He also said that the strikers
had offered to help straighten things
out, but their offer was refused.
Clash Down Town.
At about the samo time another clash
occurred'in the downtown district and
Herman Getz, an employe of the North
western company, was seriously in-jured
in the left eye by being hit with a
stone. He was found in an unconscious
condition at Hennepin avenue and
Fifth street bv Patrolman Bacon and
taken to the city hospital, where his
wound was dressed. Getz says he was
attacked by strikers while on his way
home.
Both sides are determined. The men
have the city covered with their pick
ets and the companies are hiring new
men and keeping them at work, in re
pairs and construction. The foremen
have been made special policemen,
which is displeasing to the strikers who
have taken the matter to the mayor and
claim to have his promise of relief.
MOTHER IN WORKHOUSE,
CHILD CARES FOR BABY
Mary Bologa, a "little mother," 10
years old, was in the luvenile court yes
terday and told a sad story in a brave
way. The child's mother is serving a
sentence in the workhouse for drunken
ness. This is not her firsfr offense, and
for the last two years nearly all of the
care of the Bologa household, includ
ing of late an 18-months-old baby, has
devolved upon little Mary. The father,
John Bologa, provides a home for the
family on Thornton street SE, but is
unable to hire anyone to take the
mother's place.
After investigating the case, Judge
H. D. Dickinson ordered the children
sent to a German home, where they will
be taken care of and kept in school.
The principals of the Peabody and the
Sidney Pratt schools were in court and
testified that the Bologa children were
unusually bright and well behaved.
At a meeting of the Twin Citv Uni
versity of Chicago Alumni association
Louis W. Bapeer, principal of the Mot
lev school, -was elected president and
One O. Whited secretary and treasurer.
The association will meet again in June,
when Dr. Harry Pratt Judson, acting
president of Chicago university, comes
to Minneapolis to deliver the com
mencement address at the University of
Minnesota.

BERWIN ACCOUNT
FINALLY CLOSED
CITY TREASURER MANAGES FUND
FOB FIREMAN'S WIDOW.
Total Receipts from All Sources Foot
$7,004.47, of Which $500 Goes to
Maintain Mr. Berwin's Mother *for
LifeFamily Placed Beyond Reach
of Want.
Arrangements have been perfected
for the disposition of the fund that has
been raised for the widow and children
of the late Captain John Berwin of
the flre department, who lost his life
while making a gallant rescue at the
West hotel fire.
The bylaws of the Firemen's Relief
association having been amended, City
Treasurer Charles S. Hulbert takes
charge of the fund for investment in
bonds without charge, the interest from
the fund, which isto be kept intact
until the youngest child is of legal age,
to be paid to Mrs. Berwin for the sup
port of herself and family.
The amounts raised in the different
funds were as follows: Journal,
$2,827.97 Chamber of Commerce,
$2,666 city council, $920 associated
banks, $590 total, $7,044.47. Checks
for the amounts of the Journal and
Chamber of Commerce funds were
handed to Mr. Hulbert, and Alderman
Starkweather will today turn over the
city council fund, and the contributions
from the banks^will be collected upon
notification, or within a day or two.
Thinks of Children.
Mrs. Berwin was at the conference
held yesterday afternoon, at which were
Mayor Jones, City Treasurer Hulbert,
jChief of the Fire Department J. R.
Canterbury, Alderman Starkweather
and a representative of The Jour
nal. Lars M. Rand acted as her legal
adviser. Mrs. Berwin expressed herself
as willing that the fund ghould be given
entirely to the children, but accepted
the suggestion Jihat the fund be kept
intact until her youngest child becomes
of age, which will be thirteen years, and
then sbe js to have the choice of re
ceiving her one-tlyird interest, which
will leave a trifle more than $1,000 for
each child.
It was voted to appropriate $50 from
the fund for the care of Mr. Berwin's
mother, who is 75 -years old, a Scan
dinavian home for aged women agree
ing to care for her for the balance of
her life for that amount.
Mrs. Berwin receives a pension of $30
a month from the Firemen's Relief as
sociation as long as she does not marry
her house at 304 Walnut street, a com
fortable dwelling, is free from encum
brance, and she has also more than a
thousand dollars life insurance, so that
from the interest on funds invested and
her rensio she is assured an income
that will enable her to live in comfort
and educate her children.
Thanks All Donors.
Mrs. Berwin, since the news of her
husband's death was broken to her, has
been in a state of nervous collapse from
which she has not fully recovered, but
yesterday she appeared more self-pos
sessed than upon former occasions,
when it has been necessary to discuss
her husband's death She appeared to
be profoundly grateful for the sym-

AOGTIONS MAKE REALTY
A MORE AGTIYE ASSET
To make real estate more of a
"quick" asset from the bankers' stand
point is the purpose behind the real es
tate auctions which are being intro
duced in Minneapolis. According to E.?
G. Walton, who is employing this form'
of selling in some parts of the city, the
banks approve the plan and desire to
see it made more general inasmuch as
it will enable them to enlarge their
field of usefulness.
Under the conditions which have ob
tained up to the present, a man who
holds real estate worth $50,000 can not
secure a bank loan so readily as a man
who owns grocery stock, representing
the same value. The reason is that a
fy
-v
grocery stock can be turned over quick
under almost any conditions, while
with the real estate, altho recognized
as sound security, the process of con
version might consume enough time to
reduce the interest derived from the
loan.
Mr. Walton, said todav that with the
auction system we}l established, he had
assurance that the credit of real es
tate holders would be placed on a basis
commensurate with the value of their
holdings, it would permit quick con
version at any time, he said, and he ex
pressed the belief that a period of even
more rapid development than the pres*
ent would be the result.
CHAMBER OF COMMERCE

It is estimated that the cash spent in
Minneapolis for flour and supplies
amounting to $50,000 was spent to
specially good advantage, and accom
plished as much as could possibly have
been done with three times the amount
in San Francisco. The flour was pur
chased at actual cost of material and
labor. It was carried freight free by
the lines between Minneapolis and
Omaha, and the Unipn Pacific, the sav
ing in freight alone amounting to
$mpoo.
The roads giving their services in
transporting shipments were the Omaha,
the St. Louis, the Milwaukee, the Great
Western and the Bock Island. The
amount of flour forwarded was suffi
cient to make 4,000,000 ordinary loaves
of breadj ten loaves to each of the 400,-

No Expense of Management.
All the work of the committee was
done at no expense. Printing houses
donated their work for the use of the

Union and North American Telegraph
companies, the Minneapolis General
Electric company, the theaters and vis

employees, the musicians' organizations
and others.
More than 1,200 individual subscrip

HENRY J. VAtrOHAN DEAt
Well-Known Siffye^r~3?asses Away at
an Advanced Age.
Henry Jerome Vaughan, for the last
twenty years one of the fcest-known
surveyors and civil engineers in Mfnne
apolis, died this morning at his home,
68 Thirteenth street S, at the advanced
age of 80 years. He had retained vig
orous health until about the first of the
ear, and thru the fall months had
one much field work. After the holi
days, however, he seemed to fail rap
idly -and death was the result of a grad
ual breaking down of his system.
Mr. Vaughan was born in New York
state Jan. 6, 1826. Technical schools
were unknown in his youth and he
gained a knowledge of engineering by
independent study and practical ex
perience. He still owneVl at the time
of his death an algebra, his first one,
He often said that he braided whip
lashes to buy the book, which is a sug
gestion of the means he" employed to
obtain his education.
He lived in Illinois Several years, be
ing engaged in railroad work. He came
tp Minneapolis in 1885, atod most of
the time since then he^practiced his pro
fession. For the las^Bixte* years he
did much surveying for the park board,
the most prominent single piece of work
being the*laving out of "King's High-
way," the parkway and adioinmg
boule^arding on Dnpont avenue S, lying
east of Lafcewood cemetprv and Lake
Harriet. He set the stakes for nearly
every tree and shrub of that attractive
stretch of wayside park.
Mr. Vaughan's wife died two years
ago. One son, H. C. Vaughan, and one
daughter, Mrs. A. A. Foster, with
whom he made his home, survive him.
The funeral -will be private at .a time
to be announced later.
MRS. IDA BAINBRIDGB, wife of
A. G. Bainbridge, died early this morn
ing at the familv residence, 65 Tenth
street S, after a lingering illness. She
buffered a stroke or paralysis fifteen
months ago and never recovered. Other
t-srokeS followed, the last one coming
Sunday. Mrs. Bainbridge came to Min
neapolis from Pittsburg with her hus
band twentv-one years ago, and -was
prominent in Maccabee and Grand Armv
circles. She is survived by her hub
band, a daughter, Mrs. B. I\ Rutledee,
and a son, A. G. Bainbridge, Jr. The

MUCH HOPED FSOM
McALL MEETING
MINNEAPOLIS REGARDED
OUTPOST OF WORK.
"The association has only three aux
iliaries west of ChicagoMinneapolis,
St. Paul, and St. Louis. Our thought
in coming to Minneapolis was to make
an opening wedge. The work must
grow in new parts of the country if it
is to hold its own elsewhere. We have
strong auxiliaries in the east, but the
women have so many things to take
their attention that we feel if we can
get a wedge out here it will be well for
the work." t*
In discussing the purpose of the Mc
All association, Mrs. Parkhurst said:
"The association exists for the purpose
of evangelistic work in France. France
is civilized, but not Christian. They
have had the Catholic church in France,
but the conditions are different from
what they are here. The people are
rebelling against ecclesiastical rule.
When they threw off the government,
they threw off the religion, and if no
other religion is presented to them, it
will result in infidelity. The disestab
lishment of the church has opened up
peculiar conditions for our work.
"Many men of France never enter
a church except for funerals, because
they don'-t want to recognize the au
thority of the church. Some will not
even permit a church burial, and only
the civil marriage.'*
Great in Eesult.
Altho the convention will be small in
delegate attendance, on account of dis
tance and expense of traveling, and for
reasons that have prevented some of the
strongest women in the association who
might have come, anyway, Mrs. Park
hurst believes that the small conven
tion will be effective.
"We.feel," said she, "that every del
egate is to mean more strength than
ordinarily, and we expect to accom
plish larger results than under usual
circumstances, with the small numbpr
of women. One reason is the holding
of the convention where its influence
will affect the regions beyond."
For eighteen years Mrs. Parkhurst
has been national president. Every
summer season for twenty years Rev.
Dr. and Mrs. Parkhurst have been
abroad, and whenever the occasion has
presented itself, on the way to Switzer
land, thev have personally inspected
the work, wherever they could find Mc
All halls.
Mrs. Parkhurst is at the home of Mrs.
A. L. .Crocker. This afternoon she was
the guest of Mrs. John Washburn on a
carriage ride to see the beauties of the
city parks and drives.
One of the sidelights of the conven
tion was a reception today at Andrew
Presbyterian church for Mrs. Louise
Seymour Houghton, member of the na
tional board, who lived many years in
France. The women of the First Con
gregational and the Andrew churches
were hostesses. Mrs. Houghton will
give a lecture Thursday 4ight at Ply
mouth church on the McAll work in
France, illustrating her talk with ster
eopticon views. The lecture is to be
open to all.
Oonventibn Program.
The convention will begin at 10 a.m.
Wednesday and all sessions will be open
to the public. Lnmeheon will be served
at 12:30 by ^the Westminster Women's
Foreign Missionary .society.
Mrs. Parkhurst, the president, will
preside at the opening session. The de
votional service will be led b^ Mrs.
E. S. Williams. The address of wel
come will be given by Mrs. A^ L.
Crocker, the president of the Minne
apolis auxiliary. The response will be
made by Mrs. Parkhurst. Following
the reports of the various secretaries,
Mrs. George E. Dimock will conduct a
question box
The afternoon devotional will be led
at 2 o'clock by Miss Alletta Lent. Ad
dresses will be made by Mrs. P. B. Kel
ley, Rev. S. W. Beach and Miss Johns
ton. A typical McAll meeting will be
held and several young women will
sing Frencn hymns. At the close of the
session a reception will be held for the
president of the association and the
board of directors.
In Political Circles
That the sentiment of Hennepin
county republicanism is not wholly
against or wholly for the present pri
mary election system for nominations
was brought out at a meeting of the
Hennepin Republican association in
Dillin's hall last night. The reorgani
zation and rejuvenation meeting of
the association, at one time a promi
nent factor in local politics, brought
out 150 workers, candidates, old mem
bers and tenderfeet, and the hall was
well filled when President Thomas Sal
mon called the meeting *to order.
The discussion of the advantages and
disadvantages of the primary system
was led by well-known workers in the
party. George R. Smith and A. C. Fin
ney supported the system and Judge
John H. Steele and George i Armstrong
led the attack. Each speaker has sup
porters who followed his address and in
terrupted with frequent applause. The
principal charge brought against the
system was a tendency to disintegration
ofi parties and opposition to the basic
principle of American government, gov-

WissnerPianoH
The greatest and most wonderful Artist's Piano of the present age. The
greatest musical successes ever known in this country, artistically and finan-
cially considered, were achieved during the season of 1901-02 with the Wiss-
ner Piano as an accessory.
The Wissner Grand Piano in Upright form was patented May 11th, 1897,
after years of costly labor and experiment. The principles of Grand Piano
construction are incorporated in the Wissner Grand in upright form, conse-
quently we get the same power, sonority and sustaining tones in our Up-
rights as we do in the Triangular Grands.
These Pianos are built in Baby Upright Grand, Parlos Upright Grand
and also Artist's Upright Grand. We not onlj- invite prospective purchasers
to see these pianos at our warerooms, but it will pay any artist and all
tuners that are interested in Artist's Pianos to try or hear the Wissner.
Here is what the great Sieveking says:
"The few concerts and recitals I have played
on the Wissner Piano until present date have been
sufficient to convince me of the excellency of your
instrument. You have reached-the highest perfection
of modern piano building, and I am sorry I did not
know your piano before, otherwise I certainly should
not have played another make. %T
"Sincerely ypure,,
