Overcoats for Vets

Without any clear conception of just what
amount of money there might be available
in the soldiers home fund, the house this
morning adopted a resolution by Mr. Peter
son of Hennepin, authorizing the board of
trustees of that institution to provide the
inmates with overcoats.-
The force of the resolution was explained
by Judge Dobbn There was intended no
reflection upon the board, bus as a matter
Of fact there was not the means at hand
with which to provide certain indispensable
articles OF clothing which the trustees de-
slider to purchase. The governor and Judge
Dobbin had visited the home last Sunday and
noted with surprise and chagrin that the
veterans were compelled to go without over
coats II they ventured out into the air.
Judge Dobbin stoutly maintained that some
other source for clothing ought to be found
rather than the generosity of the good people
of Minneapolis
Mr.. Peterson explained that the state audi
tor had told him there was $25.O to the
credit of the fund involved

Some amusement was created by Sena-
tor Sivright when he announced that Van
diver was no friend of his and he would
not worry If Vandiver should be kidnapped
but he believed in standing by the repub-
lican caucus and intended to do SO.
The motion to postpone action until
tomorrow morning, to give the joint
committee on reapportionment an oppor-
tunity to act, was made by Senator
Grindeland. Senator MCGOWAN said he
would stand by Vandiver because he was
more needed now than when appointed,
and, moreover, 1t had not been shown
that he had done anything wrong. The
resolution was denounced by Senator
Reeves an an act of cowardice 1t was
not because there was no work for his
committee that Vandiver was to be re-
moved, but because his name had been
connected with a scandal. The speaker
himself believed in fighting in the open
and not behind cover. Senator Ryder felt
himself bound to stand by the republican
caucus, but Senators Snyder and Wilson
expressed the opinion that the appoint
ment was unnecessary and a mistake

HOW Ah0uf the SurnIum9


The question now is. what will become
of the surplus which goes into the
illuminating oil inspection fund" This
will amount to probably $4,000 in two
years time. Some claim 1t may be trans
ferred to the general fund by act of the
legislature A prominent st. Paul attor-
ney; who has given the case some con-
sideration, said yesterday that this would
raise contention with the companies
that pay the fees, who would claim the
money as surplus over the cost Of actual
inspection. He cited the case of the
State vs.. Cassidy, 22d Minnesota, 312, in
which a majority Of the court held that
funds derived from liquor licenses could
be set aside for maintenance of hospital
for inebriates. According to that de-
cision," said he, "the state could set
aside this surplus fund for maintaining
hospital for people injured by kero-
sene oil explosions. This hospital could
take as many patients of other kinds as
1t had room for. But l think the effect
Of that decision goes still farther, and
the state under it has the right to use
the fund for any purpose whatever 1t may
elect. AS matter of fact. it Is the

Potter's Eight-Hour Law.

Senator Potter is the father of an eight
hour law which differs materially from
the one presented by Senator MCGOWAN.
While the latter's bill includes all en-
ployes of the state, regardless of the ma
ture Of their work. the Potter bill makes
the eight-hour day compulsory only on
public works. Contracts and subcontracts
on state work must include the eight
hour clause, and public officials who vio-
late the law may be fined up to $500, or
imprisoned not to exceed one year in the
penitentiary.

to reserve all iron, coal, gold, copper, etc.,

Miller Defends Resolution.

Senator Miller in calling up his resolu-
tton, which was held uD several days to
permit the proper wire pulling, said there
was no necessity for clerk to the re-
apportionment committee as on account of
the selection Of Joint committee there
was nothing for the senate committee to
do. The office was a sinecure. sufficient
reason was all that he was obliged to give
in support Of his resolution, and he
thought he had said enough.
To the rescue of Vandiver came Senator
Tim Sheehan Of st. Paul, who complained
because it had gone forth in the press of
Minnesota that Mr.. Vandivers removal
was sought on account of his alleged con-
nection with an unsavory scandal. Now
Mr.. Vandiver had made the proposition
that If the governor would say that Van
diver was in any way responsible for the
matter which had incensed his excellency,
he would resign from the clerkship with
out further ado. If Vandiver was accused
of any wrong doing he had right to face
the charges.
In Senator Thompsons opinion the
whole question was a simple law PROPOSE
tion, he contended that the Office Vandiver
held was already vacant. He had been ap-
pointed clerk of the committee on reappor-
tionment, which had been replaced by a
joint committee. He did not believe that
Vandiver needed the $5 per day or that
he wanted 1t as gratuity. Neither did he
think that the senate wanted to force It's
appointment on committee in which it
had a minority membership
Senator Daily was at a loss to under
stand what the trouble was all about If
1t was move in the interest of economy
he was In favor Of it, even though there
pentance came somewhat late. He would
not make Vandiver a scapegoat for the
governor Of the state for something he had
done. IF the speaker wants to place
man on the pay roll with nothing to do,
he will have the opportunity to do So,
retorted Senator Miller.
Senator Mccarthy had been in the re-
publican caucus which selected Vandiver.
There was as much to do now as there
was then, and he urged that the senate
having elected Vandiver should retain him.
Senator Daugherty explained that there
would be plenty of work for the committee

surplus, to keep individual accounts of ac-
cumulations, and to carry the latter as
liability to policy holders. The other
seeks to reduce expenses by prohibiting
the payment of commissions or fees for
securing new policies in excess of the ex-
pense loading Of the premium.

A CHANGE OF PLAN
Minneapolis May Have an "Old-
Line" Life Company.
IT DEPENDS ON LEGISLATION
Representative Morris Introduces u
Bill Permitting Change
of Plan.

Mr.. Morris of Hennepin in the house
to-day introduced a permissive bill allow
ing life insurance companies operating on
the stipulated premium plan to resolve
themselves into old line companies.
There are only two concerns in Mime
apolis transacting their business on the
stiplated premium basis and these are
looking forward to the passage of this bill,
1t Is said, with a view to changing their
plan. The two companies are the Ma
tional Mutual Life and the Northwestern
Life association. Their interests will be
unified Feb. 21, after which a change OF
plan will be made by reincorporation
under the new law.
The Morris bill not only has the appro-
bation of those who are to be it's bene-
ficiaries, but has been favorably passed
upon by both the outgoing and the incom-
ing insurance commissioners
There is at this time not a single ole
line life insurance company in the state
If one is chartered under the law. and
successfully carried forward it would b.
an evidence of the resources and prosper.

Form of BaIOt.
Various attempts made to improve the
form of the present election ballot have
resulted in a formal suggestion that
Iowa's example be followed. In that state
the candidates of the various parties are
placed in parallel columns. The blanket
ballot also obtains in Iowa, but Mr. Rider

characteristic.

duced his bill of two years ago providing

COMETS OF 1900 AND 1901.

Three comets were discovered during the year, namely;
 Comet a, by M, Giacobini at the ob- servatory of Nice, on Jan. sl, 1900.
 Comet b. by M. Borelly. at the obser- vatory of Marseilles. and by Dr. Brooks of Geneva, N. Y., independently. on July 2S.
 Comet c. by NJ, Giacobini. on Decem- b er30.
 Comets and b move in parabolic or bits, and will therefore not again re- turn to our solar system. Comet c moves in an orbit which resembles that of the fourth comet of 1851. Obsarva- tons of this comet are still in progress and they are they are probably already sufficient to decide. whether the two comets are independent bodies or only TWO separate apparitions of the same object.
 Finlay's periodic comet and Bar nard's periodic comet of 1884 were due to return during the year, but were not detected. The first was unfavorably situated for observation, the second has not been seen at three successive returns, viz: 1890. 1895 and 1900.

science. The Elizabeth Thompson fund of the American Association for the advancement of science now amounts to $26.000. The National Academy of Sciences has various funds of the sort. giving total income of $1S,771.
 Prof. Pickering speaks only of funds available in subsidies to researches il, the physical sciences. There are many other such funds whose interest main tains researches in biology, botany. etc. The congress of the United States all ways stands ready to encourage any scientific undertaking of rational i'm portance. The various scientific asso- citations and the universities and col leges of the country devote 6 large part of their incomes to fostering sci ence. There is no country m the world in which more liberal gifts have come frcm private persons, It Is the first duty of scientific men. Prof. Pickering insists with justice. not only to secure aid for scientific researches but to pre- vent unwise and wasteful expenditure of such money. The Harvard college observatory, under his direction, is a shining example of an institution that has received the most liberal support, which has given vast return in re- suits of the first importance.
