GIRLS HOME OPENS
New Institution Established by Vol
unteers of America Is Form
ally Opened.
The Work It Purposes to Do-Capt.
Z, and Mrs. Twombly in
Charge.

a With formal exercises in which
musical numbers will take prom
inence, the girls home prepared un-
der the ownership and direction of the
Volunteers Of America will be opened
this evening at sos Second avenue Sc.
In method and purpose the home
will be conducted on the lines laid
down for the Pillsbury home on Sec
ond avenue S near Ninth street. It is
not the intention of the Volunteers to
provide a refuge for erripg girls so
much as It is their desire to give home
comforts and Christian influence to
City, with the nope Of earning: tne1r
living. '-:. Ga& ~
In the home which is to be opened
this evening the Volunteers will be
able to give protection. and assistance
to twenty girls. The charge for board
and rooms will be but SO a week, and
by an arrangement with the Y. w.
C. A., in conjunction with which the
Volunteers expect to act, the girls
living at the Volunteers home will be
admitted to the Y. w. C. AS cook
ing school upon payment of the 81
fee, which the Volunteers will either
guarantee or provide.
In addition to this there will be
furnished gratis course in stem
ography for those girls who after
working hours desire to study.
The home, which is the result of
but a few months hard work, repre-
sents a cash investment of 49, 500, IS
the beginning Of what the Volunteers
hope will be a great movement look
ing to the protection of girls who
have to work on small salaries and
who are therefore exposed to temp
tations. f
The home is in charge of Captain
and Mrs. A. e. Twombly and has been
completed under the direction of Ad-
jutant George w. Andrick. Mrs.
Sarah p. Gale, whose influence did SO
much toward the building of the Pills
bury, home, now daily turning away
many applicants for accommodation,
is giving the Volunteers home hnan-
cial support and many other local
philanthropists have given the project
practical help.

Approves Tax Ferrets.

To the Editor of The Journal. = Az,
It is somewhat amusing to read the
-denunciations Of the so-called "taxs ferret
plan" so soon after the sheriff seizure
proceedings against those residents OF the
city who are possessed only OF a KIND OF
property that cannot be hidden-house-
hold furniture-a portion Of which was
seized, .carted away and sold because, for
sooth,s they had not at hand the ready
money to pay their small tax when. due.
This shameful performance of'the sheriff S
duty ca was not once denounced in the
public press, which, on the contrary, called
attention to the fact that by this method
some $4,000 or whereabouts was collected
that would not otherwise have been paid.
There was no such large gathering of
representative men" to protest against
the sheriff's seizures as was reported by
the Sunday papers to have met with the
county commissioners last Saturday at
a special meeting held for the purpose of
protesting against the tax ferret plan for
Hennepin county" There was no one to
take determined stand" and use
pointed and strong words" in behalf of
the widow earning bread for her children
by sewing when her sewing machine was
hauled away in payment of taxes, nor
for the mechanic whose doctor bills for
sick children had taken SO much of his
wages that he had not the money to pay
the small tax on his fErniture and must
give up his best chair and table to satisfy
the tax gatherer and meet the county
needs.
The tax dodger' is to be found among
just such representative men" as are
now protesting, else why the protest.
The tax ferret" method is not so much
an insult to our people, a blow to the
city and detriment to the community
as was the sheriff seizure plan Of de-
scending upon the small possessions Of
the poor for their tithes.
The s'tax dodger'' we have had with
us, lo these many years, a real "detri-
ment to the community, and no large
gathering Of representative men, has
assembled to protest against such whole
sale evasion Of the law Now let the
tax ferret" have his innings, despite their
protestations, and let us have a published
report Of his findings. The press did not
hesitate to publish names and residence
numbers Of the sheriff's victims.
~ Fair Play.

More Indictments Are Being Drawn
with Possibly One for an
Alderman.
The Municipal Investigation Will
Be Passed On to the Next
Grand jury.

"A few indictments will be returned
blythe grand jury tomorrow or Fri
day. The true bills are being drawn
up in the county attorneys office to-
day and are in municipal court cases
IF there is an aldermanic bill in the
lot, 1T is one found on the evidence OF
O.. p. Sutherland and other witnesses
whose testimony was taken some time
ago and probably has to do with the
vacation Of another down town alley.
After due deliberation yesterday
afternoon the inquisitors decided to
finish their work Of investigation and
hand the data now in their. possession
over to the grand jury which con-
.venes next Monday with the recon-
mendation that the make thoro
cleaning up Of council matters.
This morning a committee Of jurors
visited the poor farm and this after
noon an inspection was made of the
workhouse. The county Jail was
looked over yesterday afternoon. The
jury will convene again tomorrow
morning when their final report will
be formulated, but this document will
probably not be presented to the court
before Friday morning.

the county officials from carrying out

county tax ferret, will undoubtedly be

an amendment to the ordinances so as

borrower. The amendment was sub
mitted to the council committee on fire
department. this morning, but was re-
ferred to the city attorney without ac-
ton. f
The committee spent some time in con-
sidering the claim of a st. Paul inventor
named Burge for $500 for infringement
on his patent device for opening doors,
now in use In the fire department. Mr.
Burge has a patent sure enough but
members of the department declare that
the same principle in the Burge patent
was in use in Minneapolis for ten or Ar
teen years before the, patent was granted
1T is not believed that Burge has asyalid
claim but, remembering the costly fight
over the same subject some years ago, the
aldermen are willing to comp and
buy the rights for q reasonable sum
rather than become involved in expensive
litigation
