Glimpses of the Minnesota Law eus Seen Through Different Spectacles. CAUSTIC CRITICISM BY A LAWMAKER WVathnrnf ( ha Hill on \Vorklnjr-Ileinark- - blo Orowth of Amociutlom In Mlmonrl ItullilliiB Association Notes. A writer In the United States Investor lindertakes to show that the Minnesota law governing building and loan associations is unsurpassed. JIo says it "Is conceded to bo the most effectual and best safeguard over enacted for the control and direction of thcso Jmttltutlons. " This soumls well and doubtless will i > ass unchallenged where the Minnesota law Is leant known. At borne it docs not receive the lilgh encomiums alleged , nor is 11 conceded to bo a safeguard nt all. During a discussion in the Minnesota legis lature on the 14lh inst. of n bill limiting the salaries of olllcors of building nnd loan asso ciations , Mr. Fleming , the founder of the present state law is quoted by the Mlnnea | > - ells Tribiinons follows : "He reviewed tbo operation * of the laws nnd said ho was sorry to confess that the lawn bo and others f rained had proven Inade quate , owing to the extraordinary expenses of the ofllcers The graveyard insurance companies were highly respectable com pared with thcso associations. Talk about maturing tbo stock in eight yrars , it can't bo done in twenty-live. The bill that ought to be passed was one to wipe them off the Jaco of the earth. If some member had gall < m > ugh , sense enough , and bruins enough to draft such a bill , be would supiwrt it. These ofUcers can't bo blamed for taking all In sight , but the | > coplo arc to blame for not passing more restrictive legislation. But the legislature can say that they shall not take of the profits more than f-'t.uOO in salaries. " S | > eaking the above address , Mr. Fleming najs , in a letter to the writer : "I tried to chow that these companies cannot pos sibly mature their stock in the titno utaCed by their agents ; that there Is a reck less disregard for the interests of stock holders , und extrarnganco unheard of in any other business all making it utterly impos- ' slblo to mature stock. It is a system of get 't and keep. * * * There is no law really to jircvcnt them them doing anything they want to do. Take ono of their certificates and you will observe that thcro Is no guaranty to oven mature stock. I must Bay that tbcro are two or three companies which are trying to do an honest business , and ) do not wish to do them an injustice. " The instructive feature of thcso conflict ing views is that "distance lends enchant ment" to tbo Minnesota law , while at homo where Its operation Is clearly visible , it is "a delusion and a Miaro. " Mr. Fleming's re marks arc strong commendation of the action of the Nebraska Hanking Board in excluding Minnesota associations from doing business in the state. Gronth In Mluourl. Within a short period of time , building and loan associations havp grown enormously in Missouri. Eight years ago they were scarcely know n. Today thcro are 41U associ ations , of which 205 are located In St Louis. A writer in the Globo-Ucmocrat analyzes the semi-annual reports of 111 associations and taking otho average of this number as n basis of calculating the condition of the St. Louis associations , astonish ing results are obtained. The 05 associi tions in the city have 807,500 shares in force and 43.ys stockholders. Total resources amount to J2-,571f > Sl. The principal items of gains were : Premium earned , ! 3r > 70MO ! ; interest earned , 1,100- 8515 lines , etc. , J20Sa78. Total expenses amounted to $1,023.420. "Moro than 10,000 homes already ac quired , " says the writer , "by those who would probably never have been able to get ' . _ _ * ' thcm In jjtiy qtber way , and over 80.000 per- * 'swj j ecumul3ting their savings with a view to homo-getting in the near future. Build ing associations hiivo done all this , but let not , the reader think that all build ing associations are alike as to sav ing and earning capacity. When lookIng - Ing for a building association in which to invest your money , there are some to bo carefully avoided. Have nothing to do with nny association whoso directors are aero figureheads , and whoso secretary im agines that ho owns and bosses the whole concern. Avoid him and his association , or you will have cause to regret it. Look over former semi-annual statements , ana if you find the expenses out of proportion to re ceipts ; if the bills payable account is exces ! sively largo ; if borrowers , contractors Sid other creditors are made to wait indefinitely j | for their lust dues , or if you know that withdrawing members nro being gouged or mulcted In nny way when they happen teas need their money , shun that association as you would a 'wildcat bank. ' If the semi annual statements are unintelligible ana ildo not show plainly the true condition of the as sociation , leave it alone , for you may rest : assured that 'there's an African somewhere in that woodpllo,1 and if you should Join the association jou will have to help pay for digging him out. It you get Into a good building association you will never regret it , but if you arc ovcrhasty in making choice your stock of the milk of human kindness may bo badly soured. Exercise common sense" and business prudence and you will live to bless the day building and. loan asso ciations were established , in unison with other countless thousands of your fellowmen men ana women. " For i > Ue orve ruuiL The creation of a reserve fund should ro te1 } the serious and favorable consideration ) obuilding-loan associations. The Nebraska law * makes no provision for such a fund , yet , there is sufficient discretionary power vested by law in the banking board to warrant it | ( in requiring associations to take steps tend If that cud. As n measure of prudence and > safety associations should provide for emer gencies witnout oftlcial prodding. Tno necessity of a reserve fund was strongly urged at the September meeting of Iho state league by Mr. C. F. Bentley of Grand Island. Every day ndds to the force of Ills argument and emphasizes the im portance of providing against the unex pected. "Tho best managed societies , " eajrsa writer , in the Chicago Tribune , " ire forced to occasionally foreclose on proper- tics for protection. In some cases an soon ciation-comes out oven or makes a profit on the property it buys in , but ns a rule a foro- cUuwro means a loss. This loss may not occur until two or three" scries have been matured. If a contingent fund has been kept up the first series stockholders will have contributed their quota toward jncetlng the loss. Thcro is no reason why a loss should fall on a few scries when by cqunli/ing matters it can bo borne .by all. Tbo trouble is that too many societies are making a desperate effort < o force up their i > ercentago of profit and distiko to have a portion of each quarter's profits go into a Inking fund. For tbo same reason they class all premiums earned and unearned las profits. These associations are willing 'to eacrlfico safety to the publication of high income rates. One of the largest associa tions in the city recently had an experience which demonstrated to It the benefits of > u ( cqntlngcnt .fund. It was led into mak ing on unfortunate loan on the West Side ; nnd was forced to foreclose. The associa tion lost heavily , so heavily in fact that the ntlro contingent fund was wiped out. Ills jfund hod been accumulated gradually for ynonUm , and the Joss , although heavy , did not , fall on any ono or two scries. All the so- Jrles matured and In force had been levied on. As a consequence the loss , although lieavy , did not embarrass the society. The incident continued the belief of * oven mem- licrln this maintenance of such a fund , and a .creator proportion of each quarter's earn ings is being transferred to it than before " the loss. Ilulldlng-I.oan .Votci. ErastusVlman calls building and loan associations the "laboring man's trust. " The annual meeting of the stockholders of the Mutual of Omaha will bo held March 0. The Minnesota HO.to legislature proposes to limit the salaries of association officers to fj,000 each per annum. Tbo legislature of Indiana has passed 1 a bill requiring a deposit of 1100,000 la bonds in the Ktato treasury from foreign associa tions desiring to do business in that state. I but lloaUrerOt.

SWITCHMEN'S WAGES.Sc" IteporU of Unrnnlncn * Among Union Tactile .Mrn Arc Donlcil. An article recently published in the rail road column of TUB BEE regarding the un rest of switchmen , not only on the Union Pacific , but other railroads as well , has called out the following letter from a switch man in the Union Pacific yards at Omaha : Editor OMAHA HKCJ In your issue of i'ehru- ary 2U I noticed nn article licnilcd "Switch men Ueady to Strike , " In which there were n great many Mati-meritR , which , If allowed to KO uncontrndlrU'd , would create a sentiment at oncu unjust to the switchmen.

I'nion Pacific Yards. Inquiry at Union Pacific- headquarters this morning showed that switchmen were quite as well paid , BO far as the work was con cerned , as any class of railroad employes. In all the important _ > ards of the Union Pa cific sjstcm switchmen nro paid according to the Chicago schedule , which is as follows : Day foreman , $70.00 per month of actual working dajs. Day helper * , $05.00 per month of actual working days * Night foreman , $75.00 per month of actual working flnyti. Nlelitn ) > Ipors , $70.00 per month of actual working days. . 1. Ten (10) ( ) hours constitutes a day's work and _ , tbe number of days In a month , cxcluslio of Sundays , constitute * u month. 2. Uvcnlino allowed for Sundays nnd all time ! worked over ten ( If ) ) hours , at-.aine rates. Twenty-six dajs nro regarded ns a work ing month , so that with the overtime which men may make , if they nrc so disposed , and the business of the yard necessitates it , a month's wages , exclusive of Sundays , w ill usually foot up in tbe neighborhood of $ bOfor helpers , and working Sundajs will raise : that amount still more. While there was no par ticular agitation among the Omaha switch men it is quite well known they have been watching the outcome of the de- mund mndo uiwn tnc superintendent of the [ Colorado division of the Union Pacificat Denver for an increase of the scale. . That there is unrest mnong switchmen is not only corroborated in tbo tving up of the inner belt line at Chicago , but the Missouri Pacific switchmen at Kansas City have pre sented a formal demand to Assistant Gen eral Manager Smith at St. Louis looking izs : an increase. Their grievance lies in the fact that they get noDpay for after tliuo made at noon or night. The regular pay is 35 cents an hour , ono hour and thirty minutes having to be made before idK tra pay is granted and then they arc paid for only an hour. They demand an hour's overtime for fifteen minutes or greater frac tion of an hour after regular working hours. Mr. Smith has 'S.n taken the matter under con- sldcrntionbut it is understood that th several days have gene by no salsfaction is be n given the suitehmcn. Grand Master Wilson of the ' Switchmen's Aid associa tion lias/ not authorized u strike , but It ais well understood that If some concessions arc not made ho will order out the men usm the Missouri Pacific. This condition of affairs , coupled with the unrest at Chicago , on the Santa Fe and on the Union Pacific at Denver , warrants the conclusion that a simultaneous walkout is hatching.

Adutt , alias Mueller , was arrested by United States Mar shal Hitchcock today for forging SW.OOO in bills of exchange ou the bank of Vienna , Austria. Adutt ' is nn Austrian. Ho is unable to speak 'English and could not answer interro ro gations at the time of his arrest. It is claimed that ho committed , the for geries in December last , and after securing the money came to Chicago about January Qffd' The fraud was discovered just after ho had landed in Now York and efforts were made to locate him , but the dptectlvo gave up the hunt after a hard search. Larly in the present month Adutt began to correspond with friends in Vienna and the Austrian police authorities inspected his mail. By this means they learned that ho was stop ping in Chicago nt the Benedict hotel. Consul Clausscnius was at once notified to swear out a warrant and United States Marshal Hitchcock was called into the case. A visit was made to the hotel , but ho had just gene with his baggage , leaving word that ho was bound to New Orleans. Ho asked that his mall bo kept , however , until his return to the city. Inquiry at the postofllco showed that Adutt hud called for letter a there and today a watch was kept at the general delivery ; window. Soon u slight built , boyish looking young man stepped up to the window and in quired for Adult's mail. Marshal Hitchcock > was in attendance nnd placed the youth under arrest. When searched a Palmer house key was found in his pocket. It was found that Adutt had received word that the police were looking for him and he had moved over to the Palmer house , where ho had registered under the name of Mueller.

CREDITORS ALLEGE FRAUDS Arrest of Bernard Kohn , a Wholesale Clothing Dealer. RESULT OF THE KOHN 4 HARRIS FAILURE Senior ' .Member U Accnucil of HnilneCon. cenlcil ( looil * HeluiiRliiR to the firm Detective Work of Sus picion * Creditor * . The complications incldenr to the recent failure of the wholesale clothing firm of Kohn tt llnrris culminated yesterday in the arrest of Bernard Kohn , the senior member of the firm , on the charge of having con cealed goods for the purjioso of defrauding ci editors. Since the failure of the firm , early In De cember , representatives of eastern creditors have been at work on the case with the feel ing that there had been some Illegal trans actions in connection with the entire deal , nnd the arrest of Kohn is ono of the results of the investigation. When the IIrm fulled chattel mortgages were given to the First National bank of Omaha for ? 3,000 and to eastern creditors. supK | > scd to be relatives. Ono of the mort gages was In favor of Jacob Kohn of Phila delphia , a m-other of the senior member of the ilrm. Kohn & Harris had no local cred itors. The liabilities of the Ilrm nt the time of the failure were given us $40,000 and the assets ns f 13,000. Under the mortgages the stock was sold to Charles Wise of Sioux City for less than $10,000 uiid ho at oiico put Kohn .t Harris in charge. . The linn then bciran to nego tiate for a new local ion , and were prciKirlng to begin business aeain as the Kohn-Harris company , when the rep- rehentathes of the eastern creditors began their work of investigating the alleged fail ure. The nceotiations were then stopped and the Ilrm commenced compromising with Its creditors , nnd a number of claims were settled at from 20 to 00 cents on the dollar. While this work \\ns going on a large quantity of the former goods of the firm was found secreted in the basement of Sol Berg man's jewelry store and was attached and sold by the creditors , the sale netting $ lCoO. Kohn & Harris made no claim for the prop erty that had been thus discovered and the sale was held without any one claiming the goods that wore being offered. Ten days ago Bernard Kohn went to Phil adelphia for the purpose , it is claimed , of t securing money with which to pay existing claims against the firm. Ho returned yes terday and was at once arrested on the charge named. Ho has been released upon bonds of $1,000. ( iambllnc nooinsMqac.il. Mrs. Jennie Robey , who lives nt OOH Jack son street , ' filed a complaint in police court last Thursday , charging Peter Pearson with setting up gambling fixtures and running a gambling house. The case will bo heard Tuesday at 2 p. m. , and will-probably prove quite interesting , as the police claim that it Is only a blackmailing scheme to extort money from the proprietors of such places. Not long ago , so the police say , Mrs. Robey went to the proprietors of the Turf Exchange nnd complaimed that her husband had been losing money there and threatened to have the managers arrested If they did not pay her money , it is reported that in order to save trouble this was done. She next tried agaraoontho Diamond people , but on another tact. At this place Mrs. Robey told tale of woo and suffering. To relieve her immediate neces sities Mr. White gave her $20. Later on. it is said , she came back and said she must have 8JOO or she would file n complaint. The woman was shown the door and the police were notified. Failing to squeeze the Diamond people , it seems that the woman next went to the Pearsons , but it is hardly probable that she will be on band at the trial , as the ofllcers informed her that thcywcro aware of her actions. Another Version of a Shooting. JIary Anderson , the colored woman who was arrested a few days ago for shooting John Annls , was yesterday released on her own recognizance to appear for trial later. According to the story told the judge yester day by Airs. Anderson it would appear that when Mr. Annis forced his way into her house ho made indecent proposals to her , which she resented by firing a revolver nt Annls. The bullet lodged in the hip and the wound is not a dangerous ono. Since the affair the pooc woman and her two children have occupied ono of the spare rooms at the jail. Her few household effects were dumped into the street , and when she left the prison last night the little family had no place to go to , but the husband was in hopes of finding temporary quarters with friends. Moro ( irlcf for Ku * ell. George F. Russell was brought to Omaha from the Magic City yesterday afternoon lay Court Ofllcer Walker and locked up on a warrant - rant sworn to by Peter Milestone. It is claimed that Russell obtained some is from Milestone & Co. nnd paid for them with a bogus check , the amount of which was ? 9.25. isr Russell was tried at South Omaha yester- day on the charge of passing a fraudulent check and found guilty. Ho was fined $15 and was released on WO. Ho was then rearrested - arrested and brought to Omaha. More Stolen Sugar Located. Three more barrels of the sugar stolen from cars on side tracks have been discov ered by the detectives. They were located in n grocery at Twenty-ninth and Franklin streets. T. F.

ST TABN. Ho inllrrn : > the I'racr fllnct of n Caucus with nn llarl/- tiny Story. The republican members of the Board of County Commissioners were holding a cau cus the other morning , Wi'which they were trying to figure out w hldh men were best fitted to fill the various'aiilccs. After arguing the qti&tion in all of its phases there was a lull/and / the members drifted into story telling. Commissioner Llvcsey has never been given a chance slnco the early days , but all his associates are will ing to acknowledge that when n dull day rolls around ho will bo able to at least pull his own cud and keep it even when thcro is anything to be said about the events that have passed into unrecorded history. Tliis Junior member of tbo board wears the distinction of having set his feet upon the streets of Omaha as-early as May 1 , 1850 , nnd at a tluio when this great city was nothing but an Indian camp. In 1S50 Mr. Llvcsey was not as old as ho is today' and consequently ho had a great desire to hunt for fun. Tbo next Sunday after his arrival from the central part of New York ho thought that it would bo a fine thing to go out and hunt up a homestead. So , bright and early , armed with a surveyor's outfit and several good intentions , Mr. Llvcsey Journeyed down as far ns what Is now Thirteenth and Yinton streets , and w hich was then a long distance out In tbe wilderness In climbing ouo of the hills in that vicinity ho struck a tract of land that Just suited his fancy and bo at once prepared to stick his stakes. , Ho liked the broad acres nnd was meditating how much wheat and corn he could raise nnd market each year when nn Indian , at least 100 years of ago , carne up the hill from the opi > oslto side. side.Up to that time the only Indians that Mr. LIvesoy haa ever seen were those wooden fellows which stand in front of the cigar stores , and being brought face to face with a real and live red man of the forest changes the mind of the present com missioner , at least as far ns the land question was concerned. Both Indian and white man looked at each other for n second and then they flew in opposite directions as fast as human endurance and two pairs of good legs would permit. The little adventure took away all of Mr. Livesey's desire to go out on the frontier and rough it , so ho contented himself with squattfne on a small tract of land at Thirtieth ana Dodge streets , which oven then was nearer civilization and the tenter of pouulation. The Sunday following the Indian adven ture , Mr. Livcsey was walkiug about town , and as he neared the outskirts of the city ho saw a crowd congregated in a public square at Thirteenth nnd Haraey streets , where some enterprising citizen had erected a Hag pole. A butcher by the name of Frank was the spokesman of the party. The night be fore Frank had lost n horse aud on the inside of the rope ring which had been made there was a ran who had been captured while lead ing the horse out of the city. The people In the crowd advised hanging the man to the Hag pole , and that was tljg verdict of a Jury which had been selected'from among the by standers. The rope was around the fellow's neck when n preacher , who was holding services in n ilog shanty a few rods away , suddenly .appeared upon the scene to plead for the poor man's life. This ex pounder of the holy writ dwelt upon the enormity of the crime , which was the most hideous upon tbo stat\itq , \ books , but ho thought that the ends of Justice would bo better subserved by giving the fellow a pub lic Hogging. The idea cttupht the crowd and in a moment the mau at the stake was stripped to the skin an.d _ fhe man who was the owner of the horse was vigorously plying the lash. Fifty strokes "Were administered and then the fiincierbf thorso flesh was turned loose , being admonished to emigrate to another clime. Ho swam the river to the Iowa shore , and for a tupfethat ended horse stealing in the vicinity ofnOmaha. When the story was .concluded Messrs. Stenbcrp and Williams admitted that Mr. Livesey had some claims to the chairman ship , but aeain thej'-took up the question of the appointive offices , and were soon engaged in an animated discussion of the fitness of men. # - Dr. Gluck treats catarrh , Barker block.
