THE NEW DEBATING RULES
Iowa Approves the Constitution Sub
mitted by Minnesota. =

Professor E. E.. McDermott yesterday
received Iowa university's approval of the
proposed debating constitution sent to
them by the University Of Minnesota. The
old agreement with Iowa was not always
conducive to fairness. -
Under the new rules all speakers will
have the same time limit and will have
time for a rebuttal speech [BWelve min
utes is the time allotted each contestant
for his first speech and five minutes for
his rebuttal. The team will consist of
three men each. The new arrangement
will practically do away with the So
called leader and distribute the work
equally among the speakers: e.r"~-
In the matter Of selecting judges a
novel plan has been agreed upon. The
visiting team choose six men and the
home team twelve, and from the list the
three judges. are to be selected. If the
debate is held in Iowa the twelve men
will be from Illinois and the six from Wis
consin. The judges will be investigated
as to their impartiality and when reported
satisfactory, the home team will choose
three and the visitors one. This plan Will
do away with the idea Of debating on
neutral ground. .e-4es

PETITION FOR A PARK
Opposition to the Plan to Buy Gill
fillan Tract in Southeast
Minneapolis.

A petition to the park board is being
circulated asking it to acquire the Gil
fllan block of land in Southeast Mime
apolis and bounded by Third and Fourth
streets, Ninth and Tenth avenues.
Fast Siders who live near the tract feel
that a park is not needed at that point
any more than one would be desired in
the Yosemite valley. In other words,
they consider the East Side, with its
native oaks and it's beautiful large acre
lots a park in itself. 1t is pointed out
also that very near is Van Cleve park
one of the chain about the city, and that
nothing more beautiful than the adjoining
university campus could be desired.
This block in it's native state has been
beauty spot but recently one lot was sold
and dwelling is being erected; hence the
move. 1t is not known what price Mr..
Gilfillan would ask, but on the basis Of
recent sales the land might be worth so a
front foot. AS there is frontage Of $50
feet, the cost would be s46,000 Although
the parking would probably be paid out
Of the permanent fund. the citizens who
would probably be designated as bene-
hting from the acquisition Of the park
do not believe that with the present con-
veniences they care to foot the bills for

SUIT BY DAIRYMEN
They Want Board of Health to Kill
Diseased Cows and Pay y
for Them. ><
Action Begun in Hennepin County
Courts-Business Is Said to
49,
Suffer From Delays.

Can the state board Of health be legally
compelled to appraise, kill and pay, for
cattle found by the city authorities to
have been diseased? That Is the problem
submitted to the courts in a suit begun to-
day in which Nelson & Jackson, dairy
II en- Of Mound View, seek all order COM
pelling the state board to condemn and
kill nineteen COWS in their herds, which
have been quarantined by the Minneapolis
board of health because Of tuberculosis.
The COWS were condemned some time
ago by the Minneapolis department.. Mel
son & Jackson informed the town board of
health of the action taken. In the COM
plaint it is alleged that either the town
board neglected to inform the state board
or the state board declined to act after
having been informed
Meanwhile the diseased cattle still re-
main in the Nelson & Jackson barn and,
because they have not been killed, the
Minneapolis city council has refused to is
sue a license to the owners to sell milk
In the city. When they attempted to do
so without license they were arrested
and fined. They persisted, however, and a
second arrest followed although this Sec
ond case has not yet been brought to
trial.
The complaint alleges that a valuable
milk route will be lost to the plaintiffs un-
less immediate relief is granted. The case
Mound View is in Ramsey county.

VOTE ON PUBLIC BATHS
Council Will Probably oblt'al'b Decide the
Matter Next: Week Sentiment
; Is Favorable. It,.


The special committee Of aldermen ap-
pointed to- consider9sthe project of con-
verting the old city hall into public bath
house,. is expected to take "a vote at its
meeting next week. It Is understood that
the aldermen are favorable, provided that
no appropriation will be exacted from the
city either for remodeling or for mainte-
nance. ~
This assurance can doubtless be given.
With $4,000 offered by H. C. Akeley, it
Is thought it will be. possible to collect
$4,000 more by public subscription. It
will take $2S,000 to reconstruct the build
ing. according to City Engineer Sublette' S
estimates. : z" +
The generous gift of Mr. Akeley would
doubtless induce other men of wealth. to
give literally to such a worthy project,
and If not, 1t is felt that it would be pos
sible to collect the needed sum in small
subscriptions.
Several persons are ready to engage in
the work as soon as the city council gives
consent to Dr.. Halls plans.

A FINE ART COLLECTION
Works Gathered by E. Macdonald
From European Centers on Ex-
hibition at Bintliff's.

AT Bintliff's art store, E. Macdonald,
the art, collector, who has made several
visits to Minneapolis, is showing a large
collection Of paintings gathered during
an extended European trip cove. ing
nearly every well-known art center. The
collection Is distinctly popular one,
with numerous character sketches of pic
turesque old men and ragged urchins
and sentimental scenes of maids and
cavaliers in silks and velvets of the fash
ions of the French Louises. In some Of
these there is much clever brush work
and facile technic AS whole, they are
decorative and pleasing in coloring and
handling, the qualities chiefly considered
by purchasers Of pictures for drawing
room walls.
There is group Of pictures by more
sincere but less appreciated artists who
think more Of art and less Of public ap-
probation. Among these are half dozen
admirable marines byuW. e. Norton, an
Anglo american of London. His handling
Of Thames river scenes with the busy
traffic of all kinds of picturesque boats is
especially good. In one there is a broad
expanse OF the murky, heaving flood In
the foreground with single barge upon
it. Along the opposite shore a fringe Of all
kinds Of masts and sails overtopped by
dim outlines of roofs and spires wreathed
with the smoky atmosphere whose de-
pressing thickness is vividly felt. This
is phase of metropolitan life that the
artist has made his own and interpretS
faithfully. All Of his pictures have a
fine breadth and bigness, and he treats
both clouds and water with much skill.
T. c.. Lindsay of Cincinnati is another
artist whose work IS worthy of cordial
commendation. He is a landscape painter
with a genuine appreciation for and an
understanding of nature in many and
attractive aspects. There is poetical
quality in his landscapes that is essential
to all fine landscapeS rendition He is a
tone painter and his. effects have been
carried out delicately sand consistently.
E. Pail, Frenchman VINO exhibits reg
ularly at the salon, has two good land
scapes with sheep, admirably composed
and agreeably soft in tone. One Of the
best things in the collection is an Eng
lish landscape by II. -Pennell, "A Lock
on the Kenneth 1t shows a broad ex-
filled with meadow flowers with the
meandering stream cleaning here and
there: On an elevation is a fine group Of
trees in which the tree forms and the
varied green's of the foliage is cleverly
handled.
The sentiment and atmosphere of H.
Houben's "Return Of the Flock Is good
and the quaint Dutch buildings of the
.farmstead are attractive. Another in
teresting- Dutch picture is Won der Hof' s
"Quay at Dordrecht," an admirable ar
rangement done III soft but vigorous COL
oring. The group of sails make fine
mass as do the buildings on the quay.
For those to whom the high colors of
italian landscapes appeal, Alott's ruins
of Carthage" is a striking example and
others dealing successfully with similar
subjects are Siegen's Market Place
Aleiers,': J. Jardine's "A Street in Sc
Vile" B: Hays Landing Place at
Capri" and others.

SOLD OTHERS HORSES
The Charge Against William Early, Who
Was Arrested Yesterday In
St, Paul.


St. Paul..
William Early was arrested yesterday
afternoon in st. Paul by Detective Nick
Smith on charge of horse stealing. He
will be arraigned in the Minneapolis mu-
nicipal courts Monday morning.
Early is said TO have practiced clever
scheme. He would drive UP to a livery
barn, tell the proprietor that he wanted to
borrow $40 and that he would leave his rig
In security for the return of the money.
He would then disappear, SO report says,
and day or two later it would be learned
that the horse was stolen, and the livery
man was out the money loaned Early. To
get horses with which to carry out his
plan, it is said he would call at a livery
barn and hire a rig, explaining that he
was employed by some well-known firm.
In every case he would be furnished with
a rig without a moments hesitation.
The alleged offense which resulted in
Early's arrest was the stealing Of a horse
from F.. M. Parcher's livery in Minneapo-
lis. 1t seems that he went there and hired
rig Thursday, explaining that he was
employed by Winecke G. Doerr. He failed
to return the rig, and an investigation re-
vealed the fact that the horse had been
sold to a liveryman in North st. Paul.
Early was found IN ST. Paul yesterday by
Lieutenant Henry Meyerding Of st. Paul
and Detective Smith.

A. J. BIethen's Motion to Have One Set
Aside Is Denied.
Judge Brooks, this morning. denied a
motion to set aside summons served
upon Alden J. Blethen in st. Paul., but
which Mr.. Bethen swore he had not read
until he reached Seattle. The case was
that of the Powers Mercantile company
against Blethen and Is action to re-
cover under an account claimed to have
been contracted by the newspaper man
before he left Minneapolis. Attorneys for
the plaitiff explained that 1t had been nee
essary to serve Mr.. Blethen in st. Paul
because he came to Minneapolis only on
Sundays. The summons was handed him
in an envelope and, according to an affi-
davit signed by Mr.. Blethen, he did not
open the envelope until he had reached
home. and remained in ignorance of its
contents until that time. The process
server, however, flied a counter affidavit
in which he swore that Blethen did open
the envelope and read a part of the sum-
mons; and his testimony was backed up
by that Of friend who made affidavit to
the fact that he had seen Mr.. Blethen do
that very thing.
