art pays no tax whatever on his investment
Mr.. Shutter went further and declared that
if the community has a right 10 the increase
in the value of a mans property, then the
community should reimburse the lard owner
for the decrease in the Yalue of his land.
Land often decreases in price 10 times OF
financial depression, apd periods of depres-
sion are as likely to occur under the single
tax as under the present system.
Mr.. Shutter thinks that the single
tax adherents make a mistake by virtually
arguing that land owners are monopolists,
and the worst class of mcn0polists. He be-
lieres that fifty fortunes have been made In
other lives OF speculation where one has been
made in land speculation. His paper con-

and his followers are advocating the holding
of property III common.
This last statement Of the preachers
caused G. j. Buell. to retOrt that Mr..
Shutter either was laboring under com
plete misconceptiOn of George teaching
or was guilty of willful misrepresenta-
ton. That statement drew Kisses from
the "ants." Buell. then proceeded 10

and POverty'' that Shutter miSunder-
stood George. Rev. 5. w. Sample re-
piled to his reverend brothers criticism
of the single tax. He reiterated the old
arguments that the believers i'll single

THE LOVEJoY ESTATE.
The Various Interests Warning
Over the Estate.

Judge Corrigan was hearing argu
ments in the Lovejoy estate again yes
terday against the executors, in behalf
of the creditors and heirs. The City
bank has a claim of $4,000. The bone
of contention seems to be the fees of the
executors. Winthrop Young, D. c. Mer-
riman and J. L. Honn, of Brainerd, and
the attorneys. Their total claim is ST.,
600. of which $1,000 Is a personal ac-
count of the executors and the remain
der the attorneys fees. The estate
turned out some $4,000 of assets, and
the claims footed up 1928, 900. The claim
is also made that the firm owned pine
lands worth now about 100000, and
that they were sold for much less than
their value. The bank wants its claim
settled at once, other interests insist
that what assets are on hand should be
paid out, and the heirs want the surviv-
ing partner to make report of what he
has done with his collections.

How the Street Railway Company
Will Rush Work on the Lines.
The street railway company will be-
gin work on the new lines within a
couple or weeks. provided, of course,
that the weather is favorable. The
Hennepin boulevard line will be laid as
soon as a sewer can be put in. 1t is the
after work begins. The line will con-
tInue on Hennepln to Thirty-fourth
street, and will then run to the Cal
houn station. This will be used as the
short line to the lake. and the line will
probably be in operation early in May.
The other lines 10 be built are the Cedar
avenue, Bloomington avenue. Sixth
avenue north, Monroe street, Second
street northeast and University ave-
nue.. The Bloomington line will be
run Oil a different route from that
used now, after it reaches Eighth ave-
nue. south. 1t will come into the city on
Fourth street. turning onto the First
avenue line at that point and contlnu-
ing around the loop. The loop will be
put in operation very soon for all the
West side lines. The service on the in
terurban line, too, is to be very mate
rally improved in the near future. AS
soon as the second big engine, now
being put in place, is ready for emer-
gencieS trailerS are to De put on the

ity. The speed is also to be increased
to twenty or twenty-five miles an hour,

Crystal Slipper" Chorus Girls
Who CouId't stand Emetics.
Four members of the American EX-
travaganZa company were absent from
the presentation of the Crystal Slip
per- last night. Early in the evening
the manager thought dozen of them
might have to lay off. All but four
finally recovered. The girls were sick,
very sick. Too much tea did 1t. On
the tram which brought the troupe from
Chicago yesterday was a buffet car.
The chorus girls. woman like, Whlled
the weary hours away by drinking tea.
The tea was made in q new boiler.
There is where the trouble came III.
In the tea there is component called
tannin. There were also. probably,
chemicals of which nobody but the tea
dealer knows anything about. those
substances. acting on the zinc or the
boiler, produced chemical reaction.
Zinc is one OF the most powerful eme-
ties known to medicine. SO the drink
ers of that tea swallowed emetics,
some more. some less, according
10 the quantity of the tea con-
sumed. When they arrived in Min
neapolis yesterday afternoon about
a dozen of the girls were very i'll. They
had to be removed from the depot in
carriages. Violent vomiting and Sc
we're gastric pains afflicted them. DIT.
Frank Burton took care of them, and
under his treatment all but four recov-
cred in time for the evening perform
ance. These four were quite bad last
night, feverish and troubled with in
flammation of the stomach lining. They
will be all right in day or so.

It was Mayor Potter yesterday sure

he could write. There were dark circles
under his eyes which told of tussle

CHEERS AND Kisses.
Single Tax Believers Fall Into the

Single Tax Believers Fail Into the
Hands Of Their Enemies.
Last night the meeting of the Single
Tax league was much different from
the usual session. 1t was lively. Rev.
NJ. d. Shutter was advertised to speak
on The Single Tax; It's Principles and
Tendencies" That announcement suf-
feed to attract more antl-Singla tax be-
levers than followers of Henry George.
And the meeting was noisy. Every
time Mr.. Shutter enunciated point
the ''anti'S'' yelled in glee.
Mr. Shutter argued that the single tax
would be as much q tax upon industry rs the
present system. \ very large portion of land,
be held, IS worthless until worked and i'm
proved by man. The single tax people want 10

need not necessarily increase in value be-
cause a dozen persons own land near him.
They form small community, but he i IL
no wise indebted TO them for the value of his
land. and why should his tax be raised be-
cause of their settlement near him. An
other illustration he cited: Here are two
men with $4,000 each. One pays $4,000 foI
work of art and hangs it up in his
home: his $4,000 the other invests in
some Western town. The town grows.

1t Is Wilted Under the Heat OF
His Wrath at Insurance Men.
Building Inspector Hazen has his
fighting clothes on again. This time he
is up in arms against the insurance men.
The cause Of his rising choler is the
same as that which led to the arrest of
George WOOd-tne building Of wooden
partitions in the Liverpool lodging
house, PA and DAG Hennepin avenue.
The building belongs to Peter WOlfOrd.
Hazen says the third floor, occupied by
the lodging house, is a finder box.
There are 50 many wooden partitions in
it that the passageWays are but just
wide enough for a person to walk
through. There was fire there last
December which destroyed some Of the
partitions. Permits for repairs were
| refused. Then the insurance company
| stepped in, UaZel says. and made the
| repairs withouta permit. He continued:
"What are you going to do when the insur-
| ance companies sneak III and repair their
| losses without q permit: Now that Liver
! pool lodging house has been repaired with
| the same inflammable board partitions rs
/ before, and with the positive assurance from
this office that no permit would be lSSu ed to

But He Was Good Mule, and
Overwork Killed Him.

The record has been beaten. a mule
has been killed. Many may feel inclined
TO dispute this statement, for who ever
saw dead mule? But Agent Tratro,
ofthe S. p. c. a., has seen the corpse
of the mule, and he vouches for the cor
rectness of the report. The mule be-
longed to Gilbert Arson, who runs
blacksmith shop at 500 Third street
south. He owned the mule. a big.
handsome fellow, as mules go, with ears
eighteen inches long. Last January
Mr.. Arson confded the mule to the care
of one w. q. DOran. The mule was to
work for his board. He worked and re-
ceived bOard-nothing else; no hay. His
spirit revolled and he died. Arson says.

Avenue.
The commissioners appointed to ap-
praise damages in the matter of widen
ing Groveland aYedue we're in session
at the city hall yesterday. Aid. j. c.
Haynes was before them in his capacity
as attorney, representing the owners of
lots II and y, block 2, Of L-akeyiew
addition. The dispute over the dam
ages to be awarded the owners of these
two lots has been in the courts two
years. When Groveland avenue was
first ordered opened, it was decided TO
take 40 feet from the front OF those lots.
Then the plan was changed, and the
property owners lost about % feet, be-
sides having their lots cut diagOnally.
An appeal from the award of the COM
missioners was taken and the amount
OF damages was raised from $500 to
81, 200 in one case, and from S475 to
g, 600 in the other. Proceedings were
then abandoned. Recently they have
been resumed on the 40 foot basis. The
old fight will probably be gone through
again. The lots are owned by Mrs.
Allen and man named Story.

George woods Troubles.

George Wood, carpenter, has been

partition in a Washington avenue lO6g-

the case was continued until yesterday.
Sunday Mrs. Wood sent S34 to the lock
up as bail for him. That sum was too
small by SIG. Wood remained in the
cell, and the man to whom Mrs. Wood
gave the S34 never returned. Yester-
day Wood was discharged. Wood says

The meeting was but SHINY attended.
The insurance men are determined to
have some ordinance to prevent the
storage of these materials. The present
ordinance, they insist, is too Droad-al-

seems to be to prepare an ordinance
which will not discriminate against a

conclusion was reached yesterday. An
ordinance will undoubtedly be prepared

MINISTERIAL DEBATES.

Rev. Noah Lathrop. at the meeting OF the
Methodist ministers Yesterday, read lengthy
paper upon marriage and divorce from re-
ligious standpoint. lie did not think with
some that Jesus had settled the divorce ques-
ton by preaching that adultery is the only
ground for divorce. In his opinion, accord
ing to Holy Writ. there are two grounds for
characterization and fOrnicatiOn before
marriage DeseriIOn is the same as death.
Can there be any more reason" he SAID.
why the innocent abandoned ones should
not put away out OF her SIGHT the morally
dead, than that the widow shall remove TO
the grave the dead spouse and take the living
lover" AS TO the other ground for divorce,
the Scriptures taught that man, upon the
completion of the marriage contract, be-
lieying his bride not q virgin, had two courses
to pursue: Either TO write her BIZ or Oil
voTce and sci her aside, or publish her TO the
people and have her stOnedto death. The
parents of the bride could contest the case,
and if they proved the bride innocent, the
husband should pay them IN money ana take
the daughter for his wife. In case she we're
found guilty she should be stoned to death
An illustration was given of this in Mary,
the mother OF Christ, and Joseph. Joseph
was about to write her bill OF divorce when
bride was virgin. and Joseph righteousiy
fulfilled the marriage ceremony.
Mr. Lathrop thought drunkenness should
be cause for divorce. but did not believe
the divorce should result in sundering the
Obligation of the husband TO support the
wife. On the whole, he thought ne had
shown tn II divorce is not fully treated in the
Bible and that nowhere in the Bible is it
taught that adultery is the single crime justl-
fyiug divorce THAT Christ'never made himself
q lawmaker; that there are two specific SINS
mentioned i'll the Bible for divorce, one by
Jesus and one by Paul, and neither OF them
the one adopted by the Methodist or the Pro
testant Episcopal churches; and that the bed
rock of the divorce question is found in
the scriptural words: Man shall not put
asunder.'
