PUBLIC SCHOOLS
PROF. ZUEBLIN DELIVERS THIRD
LECTURE IN HIS COURSE.

Prof. Zueblin, in the third lecture of his
course, last night, said the greatest prob
lem in the educational world is to know
how to unite home life and school life
how to do away with the old idea that the
door of home closed upon one life for
the child and the dooroof the school open
ed upon another entirely distinct from it
and Independent of lit Much has been
done. but much yet remains to be done
before the new home conditions shall be
accepted and the interdependence of In
dividual life taken into consideration and
made the basic principle that shall be
the foundation of future educational
methods.
The abandonment Of the text book has
been the subject of endless discussion.
All the views given last evening were OF
methods actually In existence and, show
ing most satisfactory results, giving a
much better opportunity for seff-expres-
sion; that bring out instead of sitting,
a.; creative ability in the individual, and
thereby bring about a better social. com
mercial and industrial con6!tion. was well
as higher development of citizenship
The city of Washington, D. c., was
cited as having the best opportunities for
carrying into effect the methods of edu-
cation made necessary by the new indus
trial conditions of this country.
Nature study in the geological gardens,
where the animals enjoy surroundings
corresponding as nearly as possible to
those in their native condition, is not
now considered irksome, and the dog and
cat as subjects for the study of domestic
animals is met with a welcome, instead
of the protest that in early times greeted
"Mary's lamb" The Perry pictures, al
though an excellent substitute, are sup
planted by the gems of art in the Cor
coran art gallery.
The efforts of the St. Paul
teachers to carry on the work in
manual training and domestic science
at their own expense, unaided by the
support that should be given them, were
paid a high tribute by the lecturer.
Many OF the views were new and illus
trated the progress of the work in the
st. Paul schools, pronounced by Prof.
Zueblin as most commendable, although

IS MUELLER GUILTY ?.
THIS is THE QUESTION VAR
SITY RIOTERS ARE
ASKING
NO STATEMENT MADE YET
Gloom Pervaded University When
News Was Heard-AIready Fig
uring on New Man for
MuelIer's Position.

The university football team is appar-
entity up against an unenviable PROPOSE
ton.
1t has been charged that Mueller, the
giant right guard, is guilty of profess
SionaliSm. 1t is claimed that sometime
last July, at a Woodmen picnic, he en-
tered in a foot race for which a purse
of S. was offered. 1t is said that Mueller
was cautioned about entering the race,
but he said it did not make any differ
ence to him, it was the money he was
after.
He won the race. and the First Ma
tional Bank of La Crosse, Wis, has the
Cancelled check showing that payment
was made.
Mueller was seen today in regard to the
matter, and all he would say is that the
story, as printed. is without foundation.
DR.. II. L. Williams, coach of the team
would say nothing for publication except
that it would be we'll TO suspend judg-
Eent until all the facts were known.
If the factsea as stated are proven, it
will be a serious loss to the team, as his
place will be hard to fill from the ma
terial left. There are q lot of heavy men
tc select from, but none of them have
had the necessary experience at this sea-
son to go into a bruising game against
hrst-ciass college teams
The most available man. in the opinion
of many who have watched the players
closely, is Thorpe, who mas been playing
tackle and left halfback He is a strong
aggressive player, and no doubt, with d
little practice, would make good.
1t is to be hoped that the charges are
not true, but, if they ale, Mueller will
have to 60
fhere was an atmosphere of gloom at
the university yesterday when the story
reached the students The general feel
ing was that Mueller would. probably be
proved Ineligible. The case Will be thor
eughly considered by the board OF con-
troll, and if the charges are found to he
true, there Will be no hesitancy in de-
clarlng Mueller out of the game Dr.
Williams will Immediately take up the
question of successor to Mueller, and
no doubt he will be able to fill the place
satisfactorily if it becomes necessary.

AUTOMOBILE ACCIDENT
j. G. SMITH AND HIS MOTHER
PAINFULLY INJURED
Axles of Front wheels BroAe OFF
and Both Were Precipitated
Onto the Stone Pave

j. George Smith, the confectioner at los
East Sixth street. and his mother, Mrs.
M A, III. Smith, narrowly escaped being
fatally injured in an automobile acct
dent at Sixth and Robert streets shortly
after 10 o'clock last night.
Mr.. Smith and his mother were on their
way to the union depot in one of Mr..
Smiths electric automobiles to meet a
friend who was coming from New York,
and We're going at a fairly fast pace, as
the train was due in four minutes AS
the automobile was crossing the street
car tracks at Sixth and Robert streets,
the front wheels struck the rails violent
~, and without moments warning, the
axleS of both front wheels broke and the
automobile stopped suddenly, throwing
both Mr.. Smith and his mother headlong
to the pavement. Mrs. Smith was some
what stunned by the fall, but Mr.. Smith
Jared better and was able to get up
Mrs. Smith was carried into the Ryan
hotel and DR.. Ogden was called to at
tend both the injured persons On ex-
animation it was found that Mrs. Smith
was only slightly injured being bruised
over the left eye and considerably shaken
up. Mr. Smith sustained slight fracture
OF his shoulder and his left ankle was
sprained. 1t was thought best to stay
at the Ryan hotel last night
Mrs. Smith is fifty-five years old and
stood the shock well for an elderly lady
MIR. Smith stated last night that the
automobile which broke down had
run over 1000 miles and that it was
the first accident he had experienced with

BRIGGS CASE TAKEN UP
FULL BENCH OF-sUPREME COURT
HEARS ARGUMENTS.

The appeal of Fred A. Briggs, OF Min
neapolis, from the judgment of the dis
tr1ct court CT HenEepin county, i'll the
now famous nickel-in-the-slot machine
cases, was argued before the full bench
of the supreme court yesterday. Briggs,
1t Will be remembered, was accused on
a large number of separate counts of
having violated the laws against gamb-
ling by inducing different saloonkeepers
IN Minneapolis to place Observation-Disclosures
machines in their places of business. He
was convicted under two of the twenty
acknowledgements found against him, and
on each. conviction was sentenced to six
months in the workhouse and fine of
$500 Motions for new trial were over
ruled by the district court
A. j. Smith, assistant county attorney
OF Hennepin, represented the state in the
supreme court yesterday, and the appel
liant was represented by John H Steele
and w. A. Kerr.
Counsel for the appellant assigned over
forty allegations of error as foundation
for the motion to overrule the lower
court, but three points were brought out
with particular prominence. These were,
first, that it had not been shown that
Briggs had owned or operated any gamb-
ling device; second, that slot machine
is not enumerated in the penal code as a
gambling device; and third, that Judge
MCGEE, who tried the cases against
Briggs, showed BY his demeanor through
out that he was influenced by strong
prejudice against the defendant.
Briggs was present in court during the
argument of the case, and Mr. Smith,
while making his plea on behalf of the
state, pointed out the defendant in a
very dramatic manner.
Briggs is young man and has lived
for many years in Minneapolis. He has
at all times interested himself more or
less in local politics. and it was through
his efforts that David B. Hill was in
duced to come to the Twin Cities for the
purpose of making speeches several years
ago.

STATE APPEALS ITS CASE
SUPREME COURT TO DECIDE CAT
TIE CAR TAX.

On behalf of the state, Attorney Cen
eral Douglas has appealed to the supreme
court from the decision of the Ramsey
county district court in sustaining de-
murrer of the Canda Cattle Car company
in a suit for the collection of taxes.
The state brought suit in the district
court to collect tax of per cent, fixed
by the state board of equalizati ton, and
the defendant company demurred on the
ground that the tax is unconstitutional
In that it is class taxation and not con-
sistent or commensurate with other just
taxes.
This is a test case, a number of the
other cattle car companies having re-
fused to pay taxes similarly fixed The
state has now due from these companies
on taxes of this class s6,996, all of which
are delinquent
