by Melbourne Mcdowell,
the Actor.

Kansas City, Jan. 7.-Melbourne Mac

ment here yesterday signed to-day in
Kansas City, Kan, sensational deposit
tion of his suit against Clarence M. Bruno.
theatrical manager, who last season
starred his wife, Minnie Title Bruno,
and Mcdowell in Sardou's play, "Theo-
dora"
Mcdowell in his deposition swears

ing the rights to the Sardou plays to

ton, and asks that it be set aside.

Minnesota, and seeks to recover damages
and to restrain Bruno from producing any
of the Sardou plays.
Other sensational statements are made
by Mcdowell in his deposition, one being
that he was drugged In New York, put on
board a steamer and taken first to Bos-
ton and then to Newport News, and that
in Baltimore later, while still under tha
influence of the drug, he was married.
l.. N. Scott, manager Of the Metropoli-
tan opera house, St. Paul, is also made

WILL TEST T0RRENS LAW
ACTION ORIGINATES IN ST. PAUL
Ramsey Examiner of Titles Called
Upon to Show Under What Au-
thority He Holds Office.

The Torrens system Of land registra-
ton as applied to Minnesota in the Sny-
der law which passed at the last 1egis-
lature will be tested before the state SUI
preme court next Monday morning An
early decision as to the constitut1onality
of the law is desired, so that If any de-
fects are found they may be remedied at
the special session of the legislature this
winter.
The case comes UP on petition for a
writ of quo warranto from the attorney
generals Office. The examiner of tit les,
appointed under the laws in Ramsey
county is cited to show under what au-
thority he is filling the office.
H. A. Campbell, a taxpayer of st. Paul,
is the originator of the case, and the
argument will be made by Former Attor-
ney General Childs, Mr.. CampbelI's attor-
ney.
The Minneapolis Real Estate Board is
interested in having the law sustained.
Believing that it is a good law and one
based on sound business principles, it has
with the consent of William p Westfall,
F. B. Snyder, author Of the law, to argue
the case for him.
Mr. Campbell cites the fact that two
individuals, Edwin M. Ware and Henry
G. Gilbert, have applied for registration
Of titles The examiner is proceeding in
both cases as if the law were constitu-
tional. MIR. Campbell believes that the
act is one of pretension and that the ex-
aminer is burdening the taxpayer with the
expense of the office.

Bad Water and Bad Weather the
Two Leading Causes OF

The deaths from al causes in Mime
apolis last year numbered 2,510. This
is an increase of 229 over the figures Of

tally for any year since 1890.
The mortality from typhoid and diph-
liberia has been unusually high in the
past year. The deaths from typhoid were
121, against seventy-nine last year, and
from diphtheria $50, against lib in 1900.
The climatic conditions are held by the
medical men of the department to be the
cause of the exceptional prevalence of
diphtheria while the large use of water
from the lower stations will have to bear
good share Of the responsibility for the
unusual typhoid mortality.
The number Of deaths from pneumonia

Months of Delay.

Washington, Jan. 6.-The first thing
after the supreme court meets at noon
tomorrow, Messrs. Douglas, Mum and
Wilson, representing the state of Mime
sofa in the merger cases, will file an ap-
pllcatiOn for permission to present bill
Of complaint against the Northern Securi-
ties company or against the Northern Pa
ciic and Great Northern Railway COM
panies for alleged violation of the laws
Of Minnesota forbidding consolidation of
lines in competing railroad.
The court will take this application un-
der advisement and will probably be sew
eral weeks reaching a decision. It was
two weeks in deciding whether to permit
the state to bring suit against the secre-
tary Of the interior in the school land
case. The school land case was simple
and easily disposed Of The present case
is technical and involved and may call
for more time than two weeks.
After filing the application tomorrow
the counsel will have nothing furt her to
do for the present. The courts decision
will determine whether the case can pro-
coed along the lines already laid out
An adverse decision would mean that
some new program must be adopted per-
eral courts Of Minnesota. This would
mean a long delay, for the case, if brought
In this way, would probably be several
years in being decided. Should the SUI
preme court, as the states counsel ex-
pect, decided to permit bill of complaint
to be filed, decision will be reached
quickly. The court will appoint a com
mission to take testimony or counsel will
arrange for the filing of stipulation of
facts, to be followed by arguments and
then final decision. The whole matter
would take only a few months
NJ. D. Mum of the states counsel has
been in New York and New Jersey week
or ten days looking up the eastern end OF
the merger. Attorney General Douglas has
been in Montana with Governor Van SAINT.
It had been planned that both of them.
with General George P. Wilson, should
meet in Washington to-day to compare
notes and make such corrections in the
complaint as Mr.. Munn's investigations
seemed to suggest. This plan failed be-
cause the Baltimore & Ohio train on which
Douglas and Wilson were travelling was
late in reaching Washington. The supreme
court meets at noon each day and the first
half hour OF hour of each session is de-
voted to motions and similar matters.
Douglas and Wilson got here too late to
confer with Mum and afterwards to reach
the court in time to file their application.
especially since it was brought out at the
conference that several changes in that
document were necessary. It was there
fore decided to let the ase 20 over until
tomorrow. The application will be filed
as soon as the court convenes.
