st. Paul. Feb. 26. -- The tax bill is
dead. The result of nine months Ia
Dor by the tax commission and three
weeks deliberation by the legislature
is now 50 much waste paper. For all
practical purposes this effort has been
wasted.
The legislature will now attempt to
agree on bill submitting constitution
al amendments to be voted on next fall.
Other tax legislation will be attempted
and the session is not likely to close
till the last Of next week. ~ ~
The house listened to arguments for
and against the tax bill for nearly two
hours before coming to a vote.
Four members were absent on ac-
count OF sickness. But even with them
the bill would have been lost. It lacked
six votes of the necessary sixty. IF
The bill is dead. An attempt will be
made to restore it to life by reconsider
alton. This may succeed in getting 1t
temporarily before the house in an ef-
fort to strike out the Wallace amend
ments. Without these amendments
however, the bill will not pass. The
opposition to the bill will oppose recon-
sideration and will oppose striking out
the Wallace amendments. Reconstd-
Grafton may be carried, but 1t Is evil
dent that the bill cannot pass, how
ever dcctored.

st. Paul. March /. - J. f. Jacobson
declared war yesterday on State Audi
tor Dunn. In speech bristling with
sensational statements he attacked the
record OF the state auditor and opened
a breach between the two old friends
emo co-workers that may never be
healed. He declared that Mr., Dunn's
success in office had been due to laws
which the auditor himself had opposed.
AS a climax Mr.. jacobson declared
that the influence of the auditor had
been against the passage of the late tax
code. :f# s&r e......
From the way Mr.. DUN discusses
the subject It Is evident that he does
not shrink from the issue and that II
will be carried into the pre-convention
campaign. The attack was called forth
by an interview published In morning
paper in which the state auditor argued
against the tonnage tax feature OF the
Jacobson bill. ~ -r-

BROKEN H0RSEMEN

ford Trust" for the benefit of persons
connected with the turf who are in
need of assistance. Today's issue OF

ed the benefaction as follows:
"Mr. Whitney of New York. out OF
respect for the memory OF Lord VIII

ously handed to the trustees four hun

decided to increase to the above sum
in the hope that 1t may form nucleus
Of a more important charity.

THE NAVAL SEARCH

Rockport, Mass. Aug. 24.-The naval
search problem on the New England
coast was terminated at $40 o'clock
this morning by the signal: "Surren-
der demand unconditional, from Rear
Admiral Higginson's flagship. and the
reply, Accept surrender" from the
toretruck OF the Prairie, Commander
Pillsbury's flagship. The battle be-
tween the Blue, or defending squadron,
and the White. or attacking squadron,
was thus quickly ended eight miles
south OF Thatchers island. The enemy
had most signally failed to make a har-
Dor, having for its objective Salem.
A preponderance of fighting strength,
relatively sixty-four points. presented
by the battleships Kearsarge, Alabama
and Massachusetts,, Scorpion and tor
pedo boat. overwhelmed the forty-five
points represented by the auxiliary
cruisers Prairie. Panther and Supply.
To speak from theoretical point. the
White squadron was entirely destroyed
by the guns OF the defending battle
ships. Thus on the fourth night the
game of naval strategy was brought to
q mend, 1t having covered a period OF
unceasing toll, sleepless nights, and OF
anxious and wearing vigil and OF grave
uncertainty to its participants.
The destruction OF Pillsbury's squad
ron occurred at point just within the
outer limit of Gloucester harbor. not
over eight miles south from Thatcher's
island, of which had been anchored
since Wednesday, when the war game
was declared opened, the three power
ful battleships OF the Blue squadron.
The surrounding and putting out of

Of Pillsbury was the eliminating Incl
dent in one of the most exacting chap
tiers In the peace history OF the Ameri-
can Navy. For the placing in operation
OF the maneuyers of the war ships of
the coast of New England the Navy
had long prepared itself and had looked
forward with keen anticipation. As
planned by tn enaval authorities at
Washington, two squadrons were to be
put in the game, one Blue, the defend
ing fleet, and the other, the White, to
be a hostile fleet bent upon effecting an
anchorage in some unprotected harbor
on the coast from Cape Elizabeth to
Cape Cod, opposed all the time by the
first named fleet. This anchorage had
TO be maintained against the defenders
for period of six hours. Commander
Pillsbury's White squadron consisted
of the auxiliary cruisers Prairie. Pan
Their and Supply. The two former boats
were each assigned twenty points OF
lighting strength, while the Supply was
assumed to represent five points.

THE HAMMOCK AND THE PIPE.

Some folks there be who seek the sea
When Summer time is here.
And some who try the mountains high.
Where board and room are dear;
Some like the look OF lake or brook
When the hot wave is ripe;
But this poor bard likes his back yard.
His hammock, and his pipe.
No landlord there to charge for air
Or things that one may see;
Nor folks who talk or drive or walk,
Or tell how rich they be;
No bill of fare to make one swear,
Nor yet to cause the grippe
Not anything but just TO swing
With hammock and with pipe.
Mosquitoes do not come to chew,
Nor yet TO eat one up;
No thing to bite by day or night
Except the neighbors pup.
So, wherefore roam away from home,
And perspiration wipe,
When days are clear and we have here
The hammock and the pipe?
The sky is blue-the smoke is, too,
And make man feel good.
And all things seem TO gayly CLEAN,
And act just as they should;
Some folks leave home away to roam
When the hot wave is ripe.
But like as not they have not got
A hammock or pipe.
