CLAIMS LAW is VOID
LAWYER Says Sunday Closing
Act Discriminates.

Judge Hine, in the civil branch Of the
municipal court, yesterday heard ar
guments on the constitutionality Of the
Sunday closing law enacted at the
last session of the legislature. The law
is involved in the case of the state
against p. J. Hoffman, a grocer.
D. w. Lawler, counsel for Hoffman,
attacked the law as class legislation,
arguing that it is unconstitutional in
attempting to discriminate between the
classes Of retail stores. which are spec
flied. He declared that the law was
unsound in making it penal to keep
open a grocery store or a clothing store,
and allowing cigar, news and confec-
tiCnary stores to remain open. He also
attacked the law as demonstrations in
that it's title fails to specify its object.
Assistant County Attorney O'Neill
replied that as the enactment was an
amendment, its title was sufficiently
comprehensive as it sets forth that it
has for its purpose the amendment of a
particular section Of the penal code.
He also contended that it could not be
considered as class legislation.
On the decision in the Hoffman case
a number of other cases now pending
in which storekeepers have been ar
rested for selling goods on Sunday, will
be settled. Judge Hine will announce
his decision Sept. Is.

William Sutherland, known to the
police as the "Scabby-Headed Kid"
was sent back to the workhouse yes

June, expired. s1t
He was arrested in June by Chief
O'Connor, while attempting to work a

strangers on alleged shipments of

attempting to- work this game when he
was caught by the chief, and during
his confinement the police secured

the request of the police and identified
Sutherland at the workhouse as the
man who had sWindled him out Of $40

The missionary testified that Suth-
erland had met him at the depot and
had represented to him that he was
the son of a Red Wing merchant, and
that he had come to ST. Paul to attend
to the shipment of a consignment Of
goods to mis- father Sutherland pre-
vailed upon the missionary to lend
him $20, which he declared he needed
to pay for the freight. and when the
money was paid over Sutherland dis

Of the members of the board advanced
the opinion that Thomas Nelson Page

Clang. who was implicated in the trou-
BILE leading to the assault Of Patrol
man A. J. Smith, on Decatur street.
over a month ago, was seriously in
jured by being thrown from a buggy
yesterday afternoon.
Clang and another were driving a
horse attached to a single-seated bug
gy, and at the corner of jerks and
Decatur streets the horse ran against
the catchbaSin, throwing the two oc-
cupants to the ground.
At the moment the occupants of the
buggy fell to the ground the horse fell
dead. as result, it is supposed, Of
overexertion. The horse had been
running at a rapid gait, and with the
shock Of the collision with the curbing
at the catchbasin succumbed.
Clang was rendered unconscious,
but his companion escaped injury, and,
gaining his feet, deserted the wounded
man and ran away. The police could
not find Clang,s companion, and were
unable to learn his identity. The bug
gy, which was badly damaged, was
taken to Corngable's blacksmith shop,
but the police have not yet found it's
owner.
Clang was taken to the city hospital
in the police ambulance. after being
attended by DR.. Meyerding. He was
reported to be in serious though not
critical condition last night. He was
badly bruised and cut about the head

A FACT.

Good Coffee Just as Harmful as the

Those who defend coffee often saw
it is only the cheap grades that hurt

fee acts as a poison as a cheap grade.

VOICES IN HIS HEAD
Saltwater Young Man Comes
Here to Get Rid of Thep.

Emil Kirisch, who claimed Saltwater
as his home, called at the health de-
partment yesterday and wanted the
clerk there to give him something that
would drive voices out of his head.
Don't you hear them?" he asked the
aStonished clerk behind the counter.
They have been bothering me ever
since l left South st. Paul." he con-
tinued. The voices simply wouldn't
let me stay on the train. They are
fighting me all the time and l am afraid
I'll get sick if something is not done.
There they go again" he suddenly
exclaimed. "They want me to go and
see my mother. They are just talking
awful about her"
"Bughouse, sure" soliloquized the
clerk, and suiting his action to the
word, he Immediately took Kirisch in
tow and escorted him up stairs to the
office of Probate Judge E. w. Bazille.
To all questions Kirisch gave intelli-
gent answers, but he was serious about
the voices and insisted that if they
were not conquered he would certain
ly be taken down sick. Kirisch was
next turned over to DR.. Sweeney, and
he decided that he was not insane. He
gave it as his opinion that the man
would be relieved by treatment and he
was allowed to go.
Kirisch has ben working at South
st. Paul. He is about twenty-five years
OF age and fairly intelligent.

RAIN DELUCES CITY
Downpour Floods Streets and
Delays Car Traffic.

One Of the fiercest rain storms which
st. Paul has experienced this season
broke last evening a few moments be-
fore 6 o'clock, just at the time that
most Of the people who work sdown
town were on their way home from
work.
The result was those who left home
without an umbrella had an uncom-
Portable sprint from the car to their
door steps, arriving wet and bedraggled
and in bad tempers.
From that time on the rain fell in
torrents, with but momentary letups to
gather new force. Umbrellas soon be-
came useless as protection and only
encountered the bearers at the gusty
corners. Rubbers were also Of little
use, as the rain had not been falling
five minutes before the cutters were
choked and the pavement converted
into miniature lakes Of surprising depth
to the unlucl1y pedestrian.
All of the car lines were more or less
hampered in their service, and about
10 o'clock a car on the Selby line ran
into pile of sand which had accumu-
lated between the trips. The car was
twisted across both tracks and blocked
traffic in both directions for an hour or
more.
More than seventy people were
caught out at the Country club, where
the celebration In connection with the
state tennis tournament was in prog
ress. AS the evening wore on the tele-
phone was kept hot with messages for
carriages and conveyances of any kind.
While no official records were OBJ
tainable, every one who was caught out
would have been willing to bet that
the records for the summer had been
washed away.

BOON TO LITTLE ONES
Nursery on Harriet Island Cared
for SO Children a Day.

The public at large does not know
very much about the day nursery, a
feature of Harriet island, but 1t gave
daily attention to eighty Eight chill
dren during the season which DR..
Ohage brought to a close this week.
They were either the children OF
mothers who left them while thew
worked at some place in town, or were
delicate little ones whose parents were
too poor to give them a more expen-
sfve outing.
The Lightweight noted were given
attention daily, but they are only a
traction Of the number that really en-
Joyed the pleasures that the nursery
has to offer. The number of visiting
children, the matrOn, Elizabeth Gala
han, says were 1870. and this figure
was augmented by visiting adults, who
came to see what the nursery looked
like. to the number of 1880.
Every adult who calls at the nursery
is requested to register, and the book
used contains names of people from
nearly every large city in the United
States. Many foreign countries are
represented.
The nursery was established two
years ago through the efforts of AS
semblyman Whitcomb, and has
brought health and enjoyment to many
little ones

sertion and infidelity, has retained

efforts to secure the relief he prays for.
In her answer she tells Of the inhu-

band.

had been married two months he COM
menced treating me badly and accused
me Of things Of which was not guilty.

Because he will not hurry and ap-
point one of their number city plumb
ing Inspector the local Plumbers union
is said to be after the scalp of City
Engineer Rundlett. and threaten to get

appointment.
City Engineer Rundlett excuses his
delay by saying that he wants a good
man, and until he finds one agreeable
to both plumbers and master plumbers
the work viii be done by Assistant
City Building Inspector Ellerbe. The
plumbers want one of their number
recognized and the master plumbers
make the same request, SO that be-
tween the two Mr.. Rundlett is at loss
how to please both.
Even since former Plumbing In
spector Coff's discharge, Building In
spector E1lerbe has been doing the
work. This is not agreeable to some of
the union plumbers and threats of vio-
lence have been made. Twice Mr.. FL
lerbe was summoned to inspect jobs
only to find, he says, that it was a sub
terfuge to get him to some building
where some irresponsible plumbers
were in waiting to hand him one,' as
ne was told.
All the Plumbers Are Busy.
While the statement has been made
that practically all the shops have
agreed to the demand of the union
plumbers. it is said that more than one
half Of the big shops are employing
non union workmen. Many of the
strikers have opened shops and are
understood to have more work than
they can handle. The non-union shops
are also busy

fellow, the other day, and he had a re-

he had been warned, but intended to
stay and fight it out. 1 advised him to
leave his gun home as it might get him
into trouble"
By having a member of the city
building department do the work the
city Is saving $40 month. but In
spector Ellerbe says the number of in
spections is becoming too large for him
to attend to unaided.
Heretofore the union has contributed
to the inspectors monthly stipend by
adding an extra salary Of $40, but City
