NATIONAL HOTEL TRAGEDY WAS
PROPERLY HAlfDLEDY^ J|
First Reports Gave No Intnmation of
Emergency Character of Case, and
Police Ambulance Was Most Availa
ble VehicleOcand Army Visitors
Will Be Well Looked After.
In referring to the charge made in
certain quarters that the management
of the oity hospital was in any way
negligent or derelict in its, attention to
tho calll from the National hotel
connection with tjjie Jtlgga-Ellispn trag
edy, Mayor Jones, sifter carefully inves
tigating all the facts:, in the'case, said
today that there is absolutely nt
ground for criticism* "when the action of
the hotel people in reporting the case
to the hospital is considered.
There was no intimation in their first
call that the cise was an emergency
one or even of a serious nature, but as
soon as Dr. Buckman, who answered the
second call, was assured of the emei
gency character of the case, he ordered
the woman brought to the hospital at
once, and as the police ambulance was
more quickly available than that at
tached to the hospital, he suggested its
use. Whatever may have been the
idea of the hotel people, the mayor attd
his chief of pojice are satisfifccfetijeY did
not'report the castas prbmp^uy^ Or as,
being as serious in its nature as' \MQ
tacts warranted. i(
So far as any neglect of emergency
cases during the Coming Grand Army
encampment is concerned, the mayor, as
head of tho board of charities and cor
rections, givese positive assurance that
no apprehension need be felt. Every
resource at the command of the city
will be called into use and it is absurd,
in the mayor's opinion, to distort Mr.
Beckman's application of his general
rules for the admission of patients to
appply to an extraordinary occasion

SHAW CALLS IN
GOVERNMENT LOAN
No Shortage of Money Is to Fol
low, as New Depositories
Are Named.
Washington, July 14. Secretary
Shaw of the treasury department, on his
return today from New York, sent out
telegrams to a considerable number of
national banks thruout the country des
ignating them as" government deposi
tories and informing them that the gov
ernment bonds to secure such deposits
as may be made with them must be
placed with the government by the
close of business next Wednesday,
July 18.
Coincidentally with the designation
of these new depositories, the secretary
has called the loan of the government
made to various financial institutions
with state and municipality bonds as
security, indicating his ihtentioji to
have government bonds substituted for
the state aid municipal
vbnds
issue, and perhaps a little"
tf
as security. In order, however, "not too
seriously to contract the amount of
money in the banks, Secretary Shaw
will deposit with the new depositories
in the neighborhood of $7,000,000 of the
$10,000,000 now called in, and secured
by state and municipal bonds. The
$10,000,000 called has to be paid by
July 20, the date of sale of the new
Panama bonds.
As announced by the secretary, the
treasury will leave on deposit with the
banks at least one-third of the amount
realized from the sale of the Panama
issue of $30,000,000, and the probabili
ties are that quite half of the amount
realized from the sale of

all the other officers were re-elected.
The number of delegates now regis
tered, which is considered nearly the
tota^ of the attendance for the meet
ing, is just under 2,000, not more than
two-thirds the number expected.
The report of the nominating commit
tee was adopted, which action carried
with it the election of officers as fol

PEOPLE PAY PLEDGES
CHEERFULLY.
MOST
There Is Still Boom for Dollars, and
Every Cent Can. Be Put to Good Use
in Caring for Visitors-^Details of En
tertainment Are Well Along.
Generous Minneapolis is pouring its
tribute to the veterans of the civil war
into the coffers of the finance commit
tee of the Grand Army- encampment.
The first call for payment of the
Ei
ledges that were made some time ago
out and Minneapolis is responding
nobly. The response is hearty and
there has been no delay. Tho encamp
ment is less than a month away and it
has been found necessary to call in the
pledges to meet the expense of prepa
ration for the great event,
The generosity of Minneapolis has
been subiect to other calls beside the
encampment, but the fund, it is be
lieved, will be ample for all needs. Not
all who were asked to contribute and
who were able to do so returned the
pledges to the committee, but the nev-
er-give-up" policy of the committee is
still in force, and negligent interests
that have failed to r0ply will receive
an urgent demand from the committee.
City Council Helps.
The fund was given a substantial
boost last night by the city council,
which voted $5,506 to the entertain
ment fund. In addition, a number of
prominent wealthy men who have not
been called on are to be interviewed
in person, and it is believed that the
response from this source will be a
credit to the men themselves and to
the city.
From now on almost daily sessions
of the executive and other active com
mittees will be necessary. Some large
contracts have already been let. Large
contracts for cots, mattresses and bed
ding were let some time ago. The ex
ecutive committee awarded Fillmore &
Son of Minneapolis the contract for
decorations and for the furnishing and
hanging of the large flags that will
overhang the line of march on Nicollet
and Hennepm avenues.
Horses Are Wanted.
Tho not driven to a crying need for
a single horse, the executive committee
is crying, "Horses, our kingdom for
horses.'' Saddle horses are wanted and
must be secured. The executive com
mittee will contract for all available
saddle horses and equipment and will
sublet them to those desiring them.
Large posts and departments are writ
ing for horses and placing orders for
from five to fifty each. All persons
owning saddle horses that ,they will
rent for the week, but more especially
for the parade, may notify the com
mittee at headquarters, 533 Andrus
building. TONKA GRAFT PARADE

Headed by the entire fleet of Twin

ately decorated and illuminated for the
occasion, Mmnetonka water cratt,
large and small, paraded the lake last
night in honor of the oarsmen from the^
clubs entered in the Tegatta of tho
Minnesota-Winnipeg association. Start
ing at the Tonka Bay hotel, the
launches, yachts and larger steamers
toured tne lower lake, returning to the
hotel at the close of the cruise.
Included among the boats which
formed the parade were craft from
every part or Lake Minnetonka and
the line of boats made the best power
craft display ever seen at the lake.
During the progress of the parade a
band on one or the larger steamers
played a program of musical selections,
The parade was the idea of A. W.
Warnock, general passenger agent of
the Twin City Bapid Transit company,
and. as the company's boats are fitted
with electric lighting facilities, the
thirteen steamers made a fine showing,
their searchlights playing on the water
and the wooded shores.

FALL FROM SCAFFOLD
St, Paul Laborers Are Badly Injured
at Orpheum Theater.
Two men, A. Bernier, 164 Aurora ave
nue ,and L. Dushesne, fell thirty feet
from a scaffold at the new OTpheum
theater building in St. Paul, yesterday,
and were seriously injured. The men
were fixing a cast-iron sign on the west
side of the building, and were standing
on a swinging ladder scaffold. By the
slipping of the ropes along a rung, the
ladder was tipped, and at the same time
one of the ropes broke.
The fall resulted in a broken leg and
serious internal injuries for Dushesne,
and, three broken ribs and bad bruises
for Bernier. Both men were hurried
to the city hospital following the acci
dent. Bernier is 42 years of age and
has a family. Dushesne is 20 years old
and single.

The state auditor today received two

use of the G. A. B, encampment com

Bids Thought Too Hign,
Three bids for the construction of
the garbage crematory were received,
but all were rejected as too high. The
bids ranged from $6,500 to $11,000, but
the board of health estimates that the
work can be done for $6,000.
Alderman E. C. Chatfield stood
sponsor for the amendment to the liquor
ordinance providing that no saloon shall
be allowed to exist within 400 feet of a
sehoolhouse. This has been construed
by the district court to mean in a direct

the proposed ordinance the distance
shall be measured along the ordinary
courses of travel.
Duryea Ordinance in Danger,
Alderman James H. Duryea offered an

FAILS TO RECOVER
Mrs. Anna Johnson Loses Suit Against
John Wunder.
Mrs. Anna Johnson was worsted in
the legal engagement that has been
fought out before judge John Day
Smith of the district court under the
title of Anna Johnson against John
Wunder. The plaintiff is the mbther
in-law and she some time ago brought
suit to have a deed to property on
Sixth street and Third avenue S an
nulled. The deed was given to John
Wunder in consideration of about
$12,000, which is all the property was
then considered worth. Mrs. Johnson
now asserts that the deed was given
her son-in-law as security for a loan,
and now that the property is worth
from $25,000 to $30,000 she wants it
back. Judge Smith ordered judgment
for the defendant, John Wunder. The
order was filed today in the office of
the clerk of the district court.

mOng the distinguished people who ac
cepted invitations to the board of equal
ization conversazione today, It was
a pleasant and recherche affair, and the
guests were accorded princely treat
ment, but few of them appeared to en
.loy it.
L. Christian, whose invitation was
marked $50,000, tried to make a cor
rection. He said that he had 285
shares of telephone stock with a par
value of *I0 a share, 100 shares of Soo
stock and some minor stuff. Hence he
was sure that Assessor Jiinor was la
boring under a misapprehension.
Out of Town Stock.
Mr. Kenaston had his wealth figured
up to $31,750 and his obligataions to
$32,750. *He admitted owing bank
stock to the value of $18,800, but the
banks were located in other states and
the stock, he argued, was not assessable
this city.
Tho Lymans appeared by proxy and
entered two written protests, but paved
the way for an application to have
their assessments for credits amount
ing to $50,000 in each case reduced in
a substantial way.
Mr. Edgar admitted that the North
western Miller was a pretty fair sort of
an investment, but was inclined to pro
test when his household goods were in
creased in value from $2,415 to $4,615.
He declared that he and his family
lived plainly and that their household
effects would not exceed the first figure.
As to Old Saw Mills.
B. F. Nelson wanted the assessment
on his old lumber mill on Fourth ave
nue NE reduced from $22,000 to $5,000.
The mill has been idle for two seasons,
and he had been unable to obtain $4,500
for the machinery. Mr, Minor explained
that the assessment had been cut in
two and that he would not make an
other reduction on his own responsibili
ty.
E. W. Backus, the lumberman and
gold miner, had two kicks to make, one
on an assessment of $30,000 for credits
and the other on an assessment of
$6j000 for household effects.
The objections were filed away like
the others and the various persons were
informed that they would hear from
the board later. t

MINNEAPOLIS MAN-IS
HURT IN TEXAS WRECK
ssSfr-*
Word has been received of the prob
ably fatal injury of M. Sweeney, vice
president and general manager of the
Trinity & Brazos Yalley road, near Col
Udge, Tex. Mr. Sweeney, until a year
ago, was general superintendent of the
Minneapolis & St. Louis roads, and was
transferred June 15 to one of the Colo
rado Southern lines, which President
Hawley of the St. Louis & Central
roads was interested in constructing.
D. C. Noonan, successor to Mr. Swee
ney in Minneapolis, has wired for par
ticulars. It is understood that Mr.
Sweeney was in a motor car inspecting
the line. In the wreck his leg was
broken and skull fractured.
When Mr. Sweeney left Minneapolis
he stated that in his thirty-three years'
railroad experience he had never been
in a wreck until a slight smash occurred
a day previous on the Illinois Central
line, just before the train was turned
over to Mr. Sweeney's jurisdiction. He
lived in Minneapolis about four years.

Why is the Massachusetts Insurance
Law the Best?
often asked. Without going into minutiae, several
may be specified.
A Massachusetts policy holder cannot waive his legal rights any alleged
waiver in the policy is void. The value of this provision is obvious.
A lapsed policy becomes automatically paid-up for the proper amount
and the paid-up policy bears dividends and Is cashable for Its full \alue
every year In most non-Massachusetts companies dividends on a lapsed
policy are forfeited, it has no guaranteed cash value, and If any value is
allowed by the company it is less than the proper amountoften much less.
Bach policy must receive all the dividends It earns
The use of proxies is governed by pro\isions which prevent the officers
of a company from controlling it against the policy holders. The develop-
ments of the past year show the value of this feature
A Massachusetts company must be thoroughly examined by the Insur-
ance Commissioner, at least once In"three years, and oftener if he deems
necessary. The additional security in this provision will be clear to every
man at all familiar with corporate management.
These provisions are simple, radical, efficient. They secure each policy
holder his rights, make the officers responsible to the policv holders and
give a guarantee of the management such as is not found in uny other state
