KINGDOM FOR A CAR
Millfeed Men the Latest to Feel
Famine Rules.
A SHIPPERS RING IS BROKEN UP
They Had a Plan to Hold Cars TILL
Needed-Per Diem Rentals
Approved.

The railroads are rapidly taking meas
ures to force every shipper to turn cars
back to the roads as rapidly as possible.
The mill feed men were the last to be
added to the strict demurrage list which
requires penalty of 81 for every twenty
four hours after the time limit has ex-
plred. Shippers say that never before in
the history Of the city has the policy of
the roads in this regard been as strict
as now.
The roads have also delegated men to
keep close tab on cars and secure final
disposition of all cars from the shipper
as soon as possible. Traffic men are snil-
ing over neat little plan which they
say they succeeded in breaking up re-
Gently. A ring Of shippers in one line Of
traffic was formed for the purpose of
holding cars until 1t suited their con-
venience to let them go. The freight man
asking for disposition of the car was re-
ferred by the shipper to another dealer
The latter in turn told the traffic man
that he had given disposition of the car
to another firm. The game went the
rounds until finally the first shipper was
reached and he was then ready to give
shipping directions. 1t required some
careful work to break up this combination,
but the freight men believe that they
have accomplished it.
Cars ON Per Diem Basis.
The threat Of the eastern traffic men,
members Of the American Railway asso-
citation, to change their system of car
fees from mileage basis to a charge
by the day is favorably received by many
local traffic men. Western railway men
as rule favor any plan that will in
crease the efficiency Of car equipment
They say that the eastern roads are
even more lax in returning borrowed cars
than are the western lines. Several Of
the western roads have added to their
force OF car detectives in the east in two
weeks. When cars once yet away from
the system owning them, the officials of
the borrowing line do not return them un-
til they can send them back with loads
Charging by the day instead of by the
mile would, it is thought, result in quick
return of all cars.

EYE TINKERS ARE MIXED
LICENSE LAW is CONFUSING
The Board VIII Seek the Attorney
Generals Opinion Before TAX
ing Definite Action.

A Misunderstanding as to the require
ments of the opticians license law passed
by the state legislature at it's last ses-
sion. has caused the state board trouble,
and may result seriously for certain op-
ticians now doing business throughout
the state.
The first paragraph Of the law provides
that opticians not properly licensed shall
not be permitted to do business after
Nov. l. Elsewhere, however, the law
fixed six months from the date of it's pas
sage as the time limit within which prac-
tical opticians already in business must
apply for licenses, which were then to be
granted without examination. This time
limit was UP Oct. IL, but many opticians,
thinking they had until Nov to make
application, neglected to do so until the
date named in the law; and consequently
C. A. Smell, secretary of the board, has on
hand twenty-seven applications filed too
late. Later mails to-day and the early
mails tomorrow viii probably increase
this number.
The members of the board realize that
the late applications are due to error and
not to neglect, but they are doubtful Of
their power to grant the licenses in such
cases, and will lay the matter before the
attorney general. If they find that they
are empowered to issue the licenses in
question, they will do so. If not, the ap-
plicant must undergo an examination
Since the passage of the law 301 licenses
have been granted, and twenty-five ap-
plications have been deferred for in
vestigation. Up to noon to-day twenty
seven late applications had been received
by the secretary.
The board will meet Nov. IL, at which
time the matter of deferred applications
will be disposed Of If the attorney gen
eral rules against the issuance of licenses
in such cases it is probable that the ques-
tion will be carried into court So far as
is known all Minneapolis opticians filed
their applications within the statutory
time limit.
The state board os made up OF Alex
Sweningsen, Moorhead, president; C. A.
Smell, Minneapolis, secretary; H. M.
Hitchcock, Redwood Falls, F. A. Upham,
st. Paul, and J. w. Granger, Rochester.

FUNERAL OF S. B. LOYE
Simple Services Attended by Man,
SOrrOwing Friends.

SOrrOWing Friends.
The funeral of the late S. B. Loye was held
at 2:30 p. m. yesterday from the family resi-
dence, 511 Ridgewood avenue In accordance
with the known preference of Mr.. Loye the
services were brief and simple. Rev. Dr.
John E, Bushnell of Westminster Presbyter-
ian church, spoke feelingly of the strong
man who had so suddenly been stricken down
IN the midst Of an active life. He dwelt also
on the part which Mr.. Loye had played in the
development Of Minneapolis, and Of his splen-
did record in public affairs, as alderman and
later as president of the city council. In
the municipal legislature he had been as
faithful and conscientious in the discharge of
his duties as he had been in his private af-
fairs.
The Temple quartet, consisting of w. H.
Eichman, A. H. Stuart, George H. Lugsdin
and W. B. Heath, sang my Heavenly Home
and other favoPite hymns of Mr.. Loye.
Among the floral offerings was a beautiful
breast of red and white roses sent by -the
employees who have been associated with Mr.
Loye for many years.
The active pallbearers were S. II. Hall, A.
B. Woodcock, S. W. Melendy, E. G.. Potter
and Robert McMullen.
Delegations were present from the Royal
Arch Masons, of which Mr.. Loye was a mem
Der, the city council and other departments
OF the city government. The interment was
at Lakewood cemetery.

Special to The Journal.
Devils Lake, N. D., Nov. 2.-Major Nc
Laughlin, special agent Of the interior
department, has concluded treaty with

FUNDS OVERDRAWN
State Treasurer's Report Shows Sew
era1 to BE Behind.

era1 to BE Behind.
The October report of State Treasurer
Block, completed to-day, shows that the
revenue fund from which the expenses of
the state government are paid, is over
drawn $81, ,051.68; the general school fund
Is overdrawn $3,072.27, and the internal
improvement land fund $92.25, making a
total overdraft of $94, ,21620. This leaves
the total cash in the treasury 1922, ,057.70.
The revenue fund is always overdrawn
at this time of year, but it will be re-
plenished as soon as the November tax
settlements begin to come in. The over
draft on the general school fund is due to
the large amount paid out to the several
school districts on the October apportion-
ment. This will be replenished by re-
ceipts from interest on investments and
the sale of state lands.
The overdraft of $92.25 in the interna-
tional improvement land fund interest, is
the premium paid on the recent invest
ment made IN the Massachusetts bonds for
the internal land fund. A large amount
from this fund was recently transferred
according to law to the internal improve
ment fund, and becomes part of the road
and bridge fund.

No Royal Road to a Degree

The experience Of President James Nc
Lean of the University of Idaho, to whom
an ambitious Englishman sent letter
asking that the degree Of LID. be for
warded to him by return mail, and prom
ising to do the thing in the matter Of
'fees," Is not unprecedented. Similar
applications have been made to the Uni
versity Of Minnesota, although not re-
Gently.
Registrar Johnson said this morning
that such applications had been by no
means rare in the earlier days of the uni
versity, although the petitioner usually
wanted professional instead Of liter
ary degree. Said Mr.. Johnson:
l remember one case in which young man
wrote to the dean Of the dental college, stat
ing that he wanted dentists diploma and
naively adding that expense was no object"
He explained that he desired to practice den-
tistry "out west" and that he didn't want

to waste his time studying. although he would
agree to spend a couple of months at the
university If matters could not be arranged
otherwise.
This letter was typical. Young men with
more money than brains thought they could
traverse the royal road to learning via the
state university, simply through the payment
Of fancy fees. OF course, such requests were
never granted, and as the varsity increased in
size and reputation they became fewer and
fewer until now they have ceased altogether.
There are diploma factories in this country
that purport to grant degrees for cash con-
sideration, but such degrees are without
value and the diplomas granted would be
useless SO far professional work is con-
cerned in this state and in most others. The
Englishman who wrote President Mclean was
evidently familiar with this underground uni
versity system. He sent his letter to the
wrong address That Is all there is to that.
