EquaIizers Find No Law by Which
They May Be Exempted.

The county. board of equalization
yesterday engaged in an animated dis
eussfon over the yquestion of assessing
fraternal orders. Mayor Smith and
some Of the other members of the
board objecting strenuously to any as
sesSment against lodges.
The trouble started when G.. r. An

quire why ST. Paul Lodge No. Q.
Knights of Pythias. had been assessed
for $1,000. He explained that the
lodge was willing to pay if it was Gus
tomary for ali lodges to pay, which he
had understood was not the custom.
Assessor Conley stated that all Of the
lodges in the city had been assessed,
and the statement called forth obiec-
tons from Mayor Smith and Assem-
blyman Van Slyke.
"A lodge room is as much a beneyo-
lent institution as a church." said
Mayor Smith, land I do not believe
they should be assessed
Assemblyman Van Slyke declared
lodges to be charitable institutions.
and questions the right to assess them.
but Mr.. Conley insisted that he was
within his rights when he assessed the
lodges, and County Attorney Kane
was sent for in order that the board
might know what was right in the
matter.
Mr.. Kane. said there was nothing in
the law to- exempt fraternal e-ders
from taxation, and the assessor had
been right int assessing them.
The matter was referred to a COM

There is gloom in the ranks of the
"big mitts."
Chief O'Connor has denied them a
residence in st. Paul during the two
weeks of the summer carnival.
Acting on the suggestion of Chief
O'Connor, the Carnival association, has
refused any concession to games Of
chance, and only legitimate attrac
tons will be permitted on the grounds.
No actual gambling privilege has
even been given, but it was found that
several under the guise of harmless
attractions had slipped in. These were
quickly Weeded out and now those who
attend the carnival can be sure that
they will not suffer in pocketbook.
I'm that mysterious way in which
only a wel1-organized police depart
yesterday to every party of shady rep
utation who has dropped into ST. Paul
since the opening of the carnival was
heralded abroad, and for the next two
days a general exodus OF the fraternity
can be expected.
The association has asked that a
special detective be assigned. His du-
ties viii be to see that the grounds are
kept free of suspicious characters.
Minneapolis will also send a detective.
Chief O'Connor has arranged for a
regularly organized subpolice station
on the grounds. and will provide a

THIRD WEEK OF THE

Obliged to respond to an encore. MISS

Prof LAWYERS lecture was "The Phil

Mr.. Lawler began by outlining very
briefly his trip with the aid of map.
The stereopticon views OF dliferent
scenes are then introduced. The re-
suit is that his audience travels with
him and misses nothing.

KANSAS BEGINS TO
HAVE HIGH HOPES
Expects to Become One Of the Most
Important and Prosperous States.

kansas is destined to become one
of the greatest states in the Union
declared A. A. Hurd. attorney for the
Santa Fe road in Kansas and Nebras-
ka, who is at the Ryan with his family.
on his way to the Yellowstone park
and California on pleasure trip.
Outside Of the immediate flood dis
trict, the crops promise to be better
this year than for ten years past. and
even in the section which was badly
flooded it is only the corn crop which
is injured. The wheat crop which will
be harvested in Kansas this year will
be the largest in the history of the
state. and the prospects for prosper
GUS year were never better.
kansas is somewhat unfortunate in
having produced few Jerry Simpsons
and Carrie Nations, but regardless of
these miSfortuneS. the state is in a
most prosperous state of affairs. Look
at our bank deposits More than
$90,000,000 deposited in the banks of
our state. a state with little more than
100000 people. 1t means something
like $64 per capita, a showing no other
state in the Union can make, and this
in the face of the fact that many of
our large deposits are made at Kansas
City, which, while strictly a Kansas
town. is in Missouri. and that state
gets the credit for our bank deposits
| there. Our farmers. who few years
ago were calamity hewlers and always
hard up, are now buying more land
and are more prosperous than ever be-
fore in their lives. There is nothing
too good to say about Kansas have
| lived there for many years, and I have
never yet seen the state in a more
prosperous condition.
Mr.. Hurd, who is one OF the fore
! most attorneys of Kansas, will leave
| this evening for the Yellowstone park,
| and, after few weeks spent there,
will go to the coast.

among. the candidates yesterday. All
were busy, and the strain was more
than apparent in their actions. They
were piling sup the votes for the final
count, and few got beyond their
clutches when the sale of vote was
in sight.
Miss Goyen. with eighty votes to her
credit, was the leader yesterday, and
she had a close second in Miss Jos
sephine Buckley. whose count, at the
close of the day. showed fifty-one adj
ditional votes. Miss Louise Turtle,
heretofore the leader, only had one
vote when the ballot boxes were OPEN

she will be ON hand with a big bunch

The Grand opera house has been Sc
cured for the finale tonight. Every
candidate has been asked to have a
representative present, and while they
count, the candidates will occupy the
boxes. The ballot boxes will be dis
played from 9 O'Clock until IL for the
reception of votes. and in order to ia
cilitate matters the association has
agreed that money inclosed in an en-
velope, with the candidates name at
tached, will serve in lieu Of the regu-
lation ballots.
In order toa make the occasion as
lively as possible. a vaudeville enter
tainment has been arranged, and this
will be supplemented with speeches for
the candidates by their friends.
