TlNKERlED THE BYLAWS
Ladies' Auxiliary of the O. R. G.
Makes Changes-Ritualistic
Work Exemplifed.

The second days session of the
Ladies' Auxiliary of the Order of Railroad
Conductors began with the reviewing of
the bylaws and the amending Of the
constitution. An disqualification of the
ritualistic work was given, and impor-
tant questions asked by members were
fully answered by Mrs. Moore, the grand
president. Mrs. Moore forcibly impressed
word auxiliary, and said that too often
Of being a genuine aid to the organiza-
ton from which they sprang.
The chief feature of the afternoon meet
ing was the paper on "How to Awaken
Interest in the Local Division by Mrs.
J. C. Mccall Of St. Paul.. Mrs. Mccall
said that a vital necessity Of the auxiliary
was individual responsibility, and favored
the adoption Of stringent measures to Sc
cure such responsibility. There was NO
reason, she said, for favoring members
above officeholders, and she suggested
suspension or even; expulsion Of those who
failed to attend the meetings beyond a
certain length of time. In order to create
a. greater interest, she advocated more
variety in the programs. Music; the
reading of papers on the live questions of
the day, and the establishment of charity
work were. advised. The paper closed
with an exhortation to stand by the off,
GERS; even though they might not happen
to be the individual choice Of the mem
Der.
An animated discussion, led by Mrs.
Little of Flour City division, followed the
reading of the paper.

Their Fees.

More trouble is in store for DR.. A. A.
Amcs who has retired to West Baden.
Ind hoping to end his days in compare
tive piece. 1t is his attorneys, WEIGH &
Hubachek, who are behind the latest
disturbance in the doctors checkered Ca
reer. They have brought suit against
their erstwhile client to recover about
1910. To insure the collection of their
claims, they have attached a. forty-acre
tract Of land in the southern part of Polk
county near Fertile, which IS owned by
DR.. >Ames.
The affidavit alleges that Welch, Hayne
& Hubachek were attorneys for DR.. Ames
from Oct /, 1901, until Aug. /, 1902, that
their services wer worth $500, and that
they disbursed $94.45 in necessary ex-
pense. They acknowledge credit Of 5000,
leaving a balance Of $194.45.
In addition, the attorneys file a state
ment that DR.. Ames also had the services
Of another firm of attorneys the men,
bers Of which are Albert H. Hall and AL
bert Kolliner Of Minneapolis, whose serv-
ices are worth $3.50, and who disbursed
$25 20, total Of $175. 20. This account
has been, assigned to Messrs. Welch &
Hubachek, and the total amounts to
$369.65.
The writ of service was placed In the
hands Of Sheriff Sullivan, Of Polk county
directing him to levy upon certain forty
acre tract of land. It did not levy on the
splendid farm covering a section and a
hal fthat stands In DR.. Ames' name on
the records $500
The writ recites further that the sum is
justly due and that DR.. Ames has perma-
nently removed from the state and is now
resident Of the state Of Indiana. The
matter will likely be placed on the cal
endar at the December term Of the dis
trict court at Crookston.

''BLANK SPACE" DECISION
Supreme Court Files Formal Ruling
in Mower County Primary
Election Law Case.

Judge Lewis to-day handed down the
formal opinion of the supreme court in the
Mower county case, brought to compel the
county auditor to provide blank spaces on
the primary election ballot. The SUBJ
stance Of the decision was announced sew
eral weeks ago.
The opinion filed to-day holds that the
primary election is not an election within
the meaning Of the constitution. 1t Is
based on the principle Of party organiza-
ton to correct abuse whichs which have
grown up. There is no restriction in the
law on the independence of the voter, who
may vote at the general election for whom
he pleases.
I'm limiting the ballot" says Judge
Lewis, $50 that it shall contain only the
names Of those candidates who have filed
notice of intention to be such, the law
assumes that political party is of suff-
cient vitality, and has characteristic prin-
ciples to identify it so that either volun-
tarily or in obedience to party demand,
leaders or candidates will naturally come
forward"

BELIEVE IT'S A GO
w. M. Regain Returns From Wash
ington Where He Was Looking
After the Fort Extension.
Gen. Ludlow Conceded That 'Twould
Be a Good Thing for
the Fort.

w. M. Regain returned this morning
from Washington, where he sought 10 IN
terest the war department In the project
for the extension of the Minnehaha car
line to the Fort Smelling barracks. While
nothing definite was accomplished, Mr..
Regain believes the war department Will
favor the extension and will grant the
independent company of Minneapolis bus
mess men the privilege Of crossing the
reservation.
1T Journa has already acquainted
the public with the situation, said Mr.
Regain. land there IS little more to say.
AS your Washington correspondent wired,
I called on General Ludlow Of the war de-
partment and familiarized him with our
plans. told him just what we proposed
to do. and without making any request
at that time, gave him to understand
what we would probably ask for when
our preliminaries are fully matured.
without committing himself one way
or the other. he conceded that the ex-
tension would be q great thing for the
fort and great convenience to the officers
and men in affording them direct COM
munication with Minneapolis. got the
impression from what he said that he
could see no great obstacles in the way
Of the improvement. We certainly have
reason to be encouraged to go ahead with
our plans. This Is, of course, a private
enterprise. II the st. Paul people are not
satisfied with their present close connec-
lions, they will probably have to do as
we contemplate doing-build a line on
their own initiative.
II believe it will take about 600 to
build the three miles of track to the fort
from the end of the Minnehaha line. AS
yet not half of that amount has been
pledged but I believe we will be able
to raise it,
Mr.. Regain reports that conditions are
booming in the east. Money Is plentiful,
wages are high and every one is employed.
Washington entertained the largest crowd
in its history during the Grand Army en-
campment, not excepting inauguration
days.
Nothing but praise for General Tor
RANGES record as chief was
heard on all sides. Adjutant s. H. fowler

Grand Army men with having the best
kept set Of books which have gone down
in Grand Army records in Its history.
