STATE TAKES AN APPEAL
SUPREME COURT WILL PASS on
"GAY PAREEo CONTENTION
Agricultural Society Claims to he
Branch OF state Government,
aud Therefore Exempt
From Prosecution.

The attorney generals department has
appealed to the supreme court from the
Judgment of Frank E. Baker, justice of
against the Minnesota State Agricultural
society. Maekey was the manager of the
Gay Paree" show which fourisfled for 4
hrief period On the Midway at the
state fair last fall. but which was sum
marily closed by order of the fair man
agement because of alleged improperly.
The suit was brought for the purpose, as
declared, of compelling the fair associa-
ton to refund the unearned portion of
the license of 500, which Mackey had
paid for the privilege IF exhibiting for
the week. Justice Baker granted judg-
ment in the sum of $50, which was just
within the Jurisdiction of the court and
which included costs.
The State Agricultural society has tax
en- the ground that 1t is an executive
branch of the state government and
therefore may not legally be made the
defendant in case of this character;
and Assistant Attorney General Dona-
hover, who has conducted the case on
behalf of the society. proposes to test
the point fully in the supreme court.
Some years ago similar test was de-
cided against the society, but at that
time it was quasi Independent organiza-
ton and held title to the property at the
fair grounds. Since then laws have been
enacted whereby title to all of the fair
grounds property has been vested in the
state, and the society has become merely
managerial board.

Stevenson that critics have pronounced
the most characteristic. He pointed out
admirably the essayist's determined vital

this vitality rcolayed every page that Ste

S. M. OWEN is PRESIDENT
FORESTRY BOARD ELECTS HIM TO
SUCCEED CAPT. CROSS
Three Thousand Acres of Forfeited
Land in Northern Minnesota Is
Reported as Best suited
for Forestry.

At meeting of the state forestry
board held at the capitol yesterday
afternoon S. M. Owen, of Minneapolis,
was elected president to succeed Capt.
Cross of the same city, who died Aug.
81. Mr.. Owen was appointed to the
beard in place of Capt Cross.
This being the first meeting of the
board since the death of Capt. Cross,
resolutions in honor OF his memory were
adopted
The board received from the auditors
of Becker, Cook, Otter Tail, and Pine
counties, reports of lands in their re-
spective counties reported las forfeited
to the state, for non-payment of taxes,
and, believed to be better fitted for for
estry than general agricultural pur-
poses The aggregate area OF the lands
thus reported is 1880 acres. Reports ax
peeted from several other counties in the
northern part Of the State have hot yet
been received -. - 80. 49, 49,
These lands renorteds forfeited for
non-payment of taxes will not under the
law become eavailable to, the board for
forestry purposes until they shall have
been pronounced by the commissioners
of the counties in which they are locay-
ed to be n-agricultural. That being
a question of rather broad construction,
the board is somewhat In doubt as to
the prospects. The members who Were
present at the meeting were: S. M.
Owen, Minneapolis; fudge Greenleaf
Clark, st. Paul; John Cooper, St. Cloud;
Beriah Magoffin, Duluth; o.. M. Lord,

Ny investigation established beyond

ALLEN IS DEFIANT
SHELDON, IOWA, ATTORNEY PRO-
POSES TO DELIBERATELY vI0-
LATE GAME
FULLERTON APPEARS AMUSED
He Has conaseafea some of the
Wrathyr-Iossan's Property,
and Has the Best OF
the Argument.

Milton H. Allen, Of Sheldon, Iowa,
whose stationery procla inns him to be
an attorney at law, has in a series OF
letters recently written hurled defiance
at the Minnesota. state game and fish
commissions But as the commission has
slightly the advantage up to date. Ex-
ecutive Agent Fullerton, to- whom the
letters were addressed, seems rather III
clined to be amused at Mr.. Aliens de-
fiant attitude.
In recent raid upon a party of So
called pot-hunters who were arrested at
Heron Lake and fined for violation Of
the game laws several boats and a large
number OF duck decoyS. were cenfiscaeed
by deputy game wardens. Soon after
ward Mr.. Allen. wrote to Mr.. Fullerton
asserting that one of the boats and q
portion of the decoys were his property
and therefore their seizure by the game
wardens was without warrant of law.
He said that he had left the property in
charge of some of the men who had
been arrested, sbut had not authorized
them to use it and for that reason he
demanded its return to him. In his let
ter he stated incidentally that he had
hunted at Heron Lake for two seasons
and proposed TO do so again, which was
his reason for leaving his boat and de-
eoys there.
Mr.. Fullerton replied, not only refus-
ing to restore the .confiscated property,
but also demanding Of Mr. Allen that he
pay to the state of Minnesota $50 license
for each of the two seasons which he
acknowledged in his own letter he had
spent shooting in this state.
This reply appears OF have aroused the
ire of Mr. Allen for he has now written
to Mr. Fullerton that the Minnesota
law requiring a license fee of $50 from
nonresident hunters is no good and it
is his purpose to shoot in this state with
cut paying any license; and also that he
intends to recover his property by
repleyin proceedings.
AS to that declaration Mr.. Fullerton
said yesterday to- h e g / O b e: .The
beat and decoys are where he cannot
reach them and if he wants to test our
license law we will certainly see that he
gets the opportunity to get it before the
courts.

NO QUORUM IN SIGHT
FRANCHISE OF NORTHERN MANU.
FEATURING COMPANY HUNG Up
Assembly Committee on streets
Failed to Meet to Consider IT.
Two. Franchises Now
Pending.

Three months ago the Northern Manu-
featuring company with a local direc-
tory, but capitalized in the East, made
application through the council for a
heating franchise. but so far their ef-
forts have been without await. Last night
a meeting of the assembly committee on
streets was called to consider the project,
but a quorum failed to materialize, and
the ordinance granting the much desired
franchise was again hung UP. Only AS
semblymen Whitconb, Craig and Ben
son appeared.
AS a competitor to the Gas and Ed
son companies, which are alone in the
heating business, the Northern Manu-
featuring company was the first to enter
the field but for some reason have made
little progress with the council in con-
vincing them that they mean business.
It was only after the company had shown
the source of it's capital, the American
District Heating Company of Lockport,
N. Y, that it was given any considera-
ton.
The Northern Manufacturing company
may yet prove formidable thorn in the
side of the Imperial Manufacturing COM
pany, a local concern which is now max
ing efforts to secure a franchise for both
heating and lighting. The Lockport con-
Germ claims there are only two systems OF
heating that could be used in this city,
the Court or vacuum and the Holly sys-
TENS, and they control the latter, which
is protected by large number of patents
The Court system, the Northern COM
pany holds is not very good
In both bodies of the council there is
lust now an unmistakable inclination to
load down the Imperial franchise with
burdensome requirements and it Is said
when the assembly is reached one calling
for the naming of the particular system
to be used will be asked. It's request has
so far received the full sanction Of the
board of aldermen, though not without
irnpestions that may call for modifica-
ton before the company will accept the
ordinance The assembly is yet TO be
sounded.

WANT A FREE HAND.
FIRE BOARD NOT SATISFIED WITH
A STATED ANNUAL APPRO-
PRIATIUN
OUTLINE OF PRESENT NEEDS
Restoration OF, Salaries to Former
Level and Purchasing Neces-
sary Equipment Will Re-
auire Over $29O,OOO.

At a meeting of the charter commits
sion, to be held Friday night, report
from the fire board will be presented to
the commission requesting that body to
abolish the temporary appropriation for
the maintenance of the fire department.
The report was drawn lip and adopted
at an adjourned meeting of the fire board
last night, and sets out asnumbcr of rea-
soEs why the stated appropriations should
be done away with. 1t is contended that
it is almost impossible in growing city
of this size to make n stated apprUpria-
ton that will meet the demands. of the
department. 1t may be too large. some
years, and too small others, and the fire
board thinks that the better way to do
would be to amend tue charter so that
the board might draw upon the city for
its current expenses when needed.
Just to show how far the needs of the
department exceed the present appropria-
ton an itemized statement was drawn
up. The first matter considered was the
restoration OF salaries to their old basis
This would neceSsitate yearly eXpendi-
ture of $12,969.90.
To locate an engine company on the
West side in Engine House No. IS, which
is at present occupied by a. combination
chemical, which cost $685. to equip the
outfit complete. Then there is the chem
Ashland avenue that should he replaced
by an engine outfit complete, the first
cost of which would be s14,1S7, and there
would then be the salaries of the men
after the first year. 1t will cost 81. 400 to
repair the present apparatus of the de-
partment.
The Midway district. the report says,
should also be equipped with better serv-
ice. AT present there are two engine
companies 13 and IA, and two hook and
ladder companies. g. and Z, and it is stat
ed that it would require zen more men
to bring the equipment up to the stand
ard, all of which would cost SS,480. This
district is sadly in need of better protec
ton, and the manuf3ctu located there
have frequently complained of the serv-
ice because of the danger and the high
rate of insurance that they have to pay.
The report ALTO suggests the purchase
of a lot, and the erection and equipping
street and University avenue. For this
purpose $25,302 would be necessary.
With, the exception of Engine No. Is,
now stationed at Midway, and one re-
serve engine, the apparatus of the de-
partment is in frst-class condition. To
replace these would cost about $1,000
The two engines would be turned i'll in
the~purchase of new ones.
These requirements all figured up make
q total of $79934.96, making i'm all neces.
sary appropriation of $294.93496, the pres
ent appropriation being $215,000.
The report was unanimously adopted
by the board.

ALL BIDS ARE REJECTED
CONTROVERSY OVER WHITEHALL
STREET SEWER ENDED.

The controversy over the award of
a contract by the board of public works
for a sewer on Whitehall street was
brought to a finish yesterday by the
board rejecting all the bids and ordering
a readYerhsing.
The contract was awarded to p. H.
Ttornten over the protest of Chris John
son, who claimed that he was the lowest
bidder. johnson carried the matter to the
council, aud there succeeded in holding
the award up. The council gave orders
that the job should be given to Johnson,
but the board preferred TO begin the af-
fair over again and call for new bids.
All the bids received for sewer on
Stryker avenue were rejected, because
they were considered too high. Tho en-
gineer estimated the cost at s1,346. and
the lowest bid was ST.

puolfc works named macadam as the ma
terial and to allow the substitution of
granite the legal department held would

In acting contrary to the wishes of the
department Mayor Smith held that it
WAS barely possible that any property
holder would object to the substitution
of material vastly better and costiier than
he had originally asked or hoped for.
On Wabasha and other streets substitu-
ton had been allowed and there was no
protest. Mayor Smiths views in the
matter were substantially those of a ma
jority of the members of the two bodies.
