ether, and an incision FIVE inches long
was made in his abdomen. The stom-
ach was examined, and the holes made
by the bullet as it entered and passed
out were carefully sewed up. The
President stood the operation well,
and was soon afterward removed to
the home of President Milburn, Of the
Exposition, where he now lies.
The assassin in the meantime had
been taken to Jail. He escaped with
his life only on account of the prompt
ness of the officers who had him in
charge. A vast crowd gathered as
soon as it was known he had shot the
President, and frantic attempts were
made to get at him. The people
would have torn him to pieces if they
could have gotten at him. When he
was taken to the prison he was flung
into dungeon as though he were a
mad dog.
He made confession, in which he
stated that he was an anarchist, and
and that he was impelled to commit
the crime by reading and hearing En-
ma Goldman, the woman anarchist.
He is about % years old.
Members of the Presidents cabinet
and government officials hurried to
Buffalo as soon as they could get there,
and messages of sympathy were re-
ceived from all parts Of the world.
Mrs. Mckinley, who was in Buffalo
with the President, bore the news Of
his misfortune with great courage, and
was al his bedside as soon as she was
allowed to see him.

Then he struck the assailant vi
cious blow with his fist squarely in the
face. The blow was so powerful that
the man was sent through the guards
and went sprawling upon the floor.
He had hardly touched the floor when

AS soon as an ambulance could be

"OMAHA'S" BIG CONTRACT
Ut w1EL BE LET NEXT TUESDAY
The TwO-StOry Brick Additions to
Freight Houses VIII Cost
About $4,000.

An $4,000 contract will be let Monday
or Tuesday by the Omaha road for the
construction of a two-story brick addi-
tion to the company's freight-houses in
North Minneapolis. Several Minneapolis
and St. Paul contractors are bid
ders for the work. Among the
local firms competing are Barnett & Rec
ord. c. f. Haglin, S. c. Cutter and John
Wunder. No bids have yet been received
at the office of the company.
General Manager Scott said this morn
Ing that In spite of a report to that effect,
the company had no other building under
consideration for Minneapolis. The ex-
tension of trackage facilities will be done
by the company itself, and with the regu-
lar crews, though it is a work OF con-
siderable magnitude. All the buildings on
the recently acquired strip from Plymouth
TO Twentieth avenue N will have to be
removed except the Diamond mill and iron
works, and other small manufacturing
plants. These will remain until the ex-
plra1ion Of their leases, which in the case
Of the Diamond mill. runs five years
longer 1t is possible that the mill may
remain permanently. 1t will have to be
provided with an outlet during the work
on the new tracks.
The stub ends of avenues between
Plymouth avenue and Twentieth, and run
ming from the Northern Pacific tracks to
the river, have not been vacated, and the
council will be asked to pass an ordinance
vacating them.
The work will be completed this sum-
mer, Including the bridge over Plymouth
and Twentieth avenues. When 1t Is fin
1shed, the Omaha will have ample ter
mlnal facilities, not eXcelled by any rail-
road running into Minneapolis

WHISKY IN THE JAIL
Prisoners Get 1t Through an A. D.
T. Boy.
He Was Caught in the Act To-day
Frank Lotus the Buying
Prisoner.

For some time past the keepers OF the
county Jail have suspected that some OF
the prisoners were receiving whisky which
was smuggled in from an outside source
and yesterday morning the suspicious
were verified.
About II o'clock an A. D. T. messen-
ger called at the Jail and said that he
had message for Frank LOTUS, a pris.
oner serving a sentence for larceny.
The suspicious Of Harry Brevick, the as
sistant jailor, were aroused by the pecu-
liar actions of the boy, and upon being
questioned he became confused and nerv-
GUS. While talking to the lad Mr.. Bre-
wick observed that his vest bulged out to
an extraordinary extent, and putting his
hand under the garment he found a bot
tie of whisky tucked away as neatly as
possible.
The boy was turned over to Sheriff Me-
garden who took him to the messenger
office, and an effort will be made to as
certain at what saloon he procured the
whisky. Lotus was placed in the dungeon
where he will mediate for season.

MAY BOOST ASSESSMENTS
TO KEEP THE TAX RATE DOWN
Personal Property Likely to BE Scru-
tinized This Year With More
Care Than Usual.

The city assessors department will
make unusual efforts this year to get a
larger personal property assessment The
last assessment was approximately $780,
900. which, in the opinion of many of
the aldermen, was far too low. The only
remedy for the constantly increasing tax
rate, they declare, is a higher assess
ment OF personal property. Without some
action to this end another year may find
the city tax rate close to 80 mills
The situation was brought to the at
tention of the city assessor last night by
a resolution introduced by Aldermas
Peterson reciting the facts and instruct
Ing the assessor to use every possible care
and precaution to secure an equitable
personal property assessment for next
year. The resolution further declared
that the personal property assessment on
many firms, corporations and individuals
in the city was quite insufficient when
compared with their known financial
standing.
The resolution was referred to the tax
committee and will be considered at a
conference between the committee and
City Assessor Fort next week

TAX COMMISSION BACK
WELL PLEASED WITH THEIR TRIP
They Were Delighted with the Re
forms That Have Been Made
in Chicago.

William +. Hahn Of Minneapolis returned
from Philadelphia yesterday together with
ii. w. Childs and Gideon S. Ives, the other
members Of the new tax commission. They
have been on a junket, if the word may be
used, and have visited Chicago, Lansing
Mich; Indianapolis, Ind; Columbus, Ohio;
Albany, N. Y; Boston, Mass, and Phila-
delphia. The latter town is the birthplace Of
the idea of revising the work of the tax au-
thorities and the history of all tax commits
sions may be traced directly indirectly to
the Philadelphia institution which was Gre
ated in 1865.
In Massachusetts, New York and Ohio the
Minnesota seekers for ideas found little but
what old to them. But in Indianapolis,
Lansing and Chicago there were almost more
new, modern and progressive ideas than the
commission could absorb
Cook County Reforms.
General Hahn is quite enthusiastic Of the
great reforms accomplished by the Cook coun-
ty, Illinois, tax revision commission. In
stances of the abuses corrected are numer-
GUS. For example, one dealer who had been
paying taxes to the amount OF only $12S paid
$4,000 the next year. Another firm assessed
at only $4,000 was raised to IS, 900, ,00O

basis and the expenses are reduced to a
minimum.
Ives Reports.
Chairman Ives of the commission dropped
into the governors Office and reported that
the commission had learned a great many
things Of value. It's members were impressed
with the work being done in Michigan by the
permanent tax commission. This commission
has arrived at a valuation Of the railroad
properties of the state by most thorough
system of inspection. Experts covered the en-
tire roadway Of the state and estimated the
value of rolling stock and track even to the
spikes including, of course, all buildings
and lands; also the value of the franchises
The work was done so well that the rail-
roads have availed themselves of the result
and are making use of the state appraisal in

GRACE CHURCH CHANGE
The Question Will Come Before the
Presbytery Monday.


Presbytery Monday.
The committee appointed to consider the
petition Of Grace church to move to the
neighborhood of Hennepin avenue and
Twenty eighth street will report to Min
neapolis presbytery Monday at 10 a. m.
The report is current that the committee
favors a site near Humboldt and Twenty
fifth. This would be direct encroach-
ment on the territory of Bethlehem church.
The petition to the session of Grace
church which has bene referred to the
higher body was signed by prominent men
representing at least fifty families who
now worship down town. A member of
Grace church said to-day that the re-
mOval Of Grace church into a better To-
cation where a big organization could be
built up would be one of the best things
that could happen to Presbyterianism in
Minneapolis. Church going people from
the Hastings & Dakota tracks to Kenwood
and from Hennepin to the lake would have
an opportunity of attending services with
out going to the big downtown churches.
The growth of Bethlehem out of it's pres
ent quarters shows that the tendency of
church membership is to move out and
thus relieve the congested condition exist
ing in the big churches. All over the
citp people go to Westminster, Andrew and
the First church who should properly at
tend the struggling churches in their own
vicinity. If Grace church is successful
in its plans it is felt that a large congre-
cation will be built up, and that the ex-
ample will be followed by people living
near the weak churches.

A $4,000 CHURCH
Bethlehem Presbyterian to Have a
New Home.
CHURCH HAS GROWN RAPIDLY
New Edifce VIII BE of Pressed
Brick-TO he Built in
Sections.

Bethlehem Presbyterian church at Pleas
ant avenue and Twenty sixth street, will
soon break ground for new editice. The
lot on Pleasant avenue at the rear of the
present building has been purchased,
which gives site covering two lots.
1t is the purpose of the committee to
erect church that may be dedicated with
out debt, and the work Will proceed as
far as the trustees are able. Several
thousand dollars are already on hand, and
the canvass is not yet fairly under way.
The congregation has entirely outgrown
the present building. The Sunday school
numbers $50, which more than fills the
main church, while the infant class occu-
pies the entire lecture room.
The plans which have been prepared call
for $4,000 building of pressed brick with
stone trimmings. The style. of architecture
is Gothic
The main entrances to the auditorium
will be from either street through the
tower, and entrances to the lecture room
will be provided on two sides. Both audi
torium and lecture-room win have gall
leries so arranged that they may be
thrown together, thus increasing the seat
ing capacity of the church. The choir
gallery is at the rear and the pulpit in
the corner at the left of the auditorium.
The lecture-room is to be as modern as
the church itself, and the classrooms are
arranged SO as to use the space to the best
advantage. The auditorium will have
1856 feet floor space and the total floor
space of the entire church will be 5,O99
feet as compared with 1921 in the old.
The contract for building has not been
let but the committee plans to put in the
foundation and perhaps to erect the wing
Of the new church on the lot recently pur-
chased. At it's completion the old building
will be deserted and moved off, and the
services will be held in the new part until
the church is completed.
The decision of Minneapolis presbytery
as to the location of Grace church will
have some bearing on the plans for Beth
lehem church and may result in an entire
change of the site for the new building

LA PLANT CHILDREN IN COURT
John Chadwick Begins Habeas Cor.
pus Proceedings.

Standing room was at a premium il
Judge Brooks courtroom yesterday al
the habeas corpus proceedings brought
by John Chadwick to gain possession Of
Willie and Fred La Plant, two bright lit
tie orphans, aged 6 and s.
The defendant is Mrs. Alvina A. Dun
ham, their paternal grandmother, a stout,
elderly lady, with prosperous look, who
is charged with having kidnapped the
boys on Oct 29, fact which she freely
admitted.
1t was brought out that before his
death, William A. LaPlant, father Of the
children, had appointed the relator,
Chadwick, testamentary guardian. He
was to receive 81 per week for the care
and support Of the children
According to the testimony Of Mrs.
Durham, the boys are averse to living
with the Chadwick family, where they
were treated in harsh and severe man
ner, not suitably clothed and were with
out religious instruction. She says the
children are very fond of their grand
mother, and she of them.

GIFT OF A CHILD
Plea Made in BOyIan Case That 1t Is
IrrevOcabIe.

Judge Brooks was engaged to-day in
hearing the case of Clementine Peterson
against Sarah B. Schaeffer matron at
police headquarters, in which habeas cor
pus proceedings were instituted for the
recovery Of an eight-months-oId infant
named Clara Boylan
A few weeks ago the mother of the
child gave the baby to Miss Peterson for
adoption, and, exercising the prerogative
which is supposed to belong to her sex,
she afterwards changed her mind, and
demanded the return Of the infant.
By this time Miss Peterson had become
attached to the baby, and she refused to
give it up. The attention Of the police
was called to the case and the child was
taken from her. Subsequently, it was
placed by Matron Schaeffer in the Bethany
Home, where it is quarantined on account
of smallpox.
When on the stand this morning the
mother of the child said she desired to
raise it herself, and counsel for the re-
lator maintained that the gift of an in
fant for adoption is irrevocable.
