much more becoming to so many figures.

RULE IS NEEDLESS HERE
St. Paul School Boards Regulation
on Basket Ball for Boys
and Girls.

1--WE shall not be obliged to make any
rules about basket ball." said Principal
Greer of the Central High school to-day.
I'VE are not in the same situation as the
Central High school at St. Paul. The pu-
pills there play the game in the school gym
nasium; here our boys and girls teams
play either at the Y. M. c. A. building, the
Y. w. c. A. clubhouse, or at the state uni
versity. The restrictions governing the
players are established, of course, by the
Christian associations or by the university
faculty, not by the city school board or
the city teachers"
Mr.. Greer was called upon for this eXpla-
nation in view of the action taken recently
by the committee on athletics of the St.
Paul school board. The committee has
directed that the school girls shall not
watch the boys play basket ball during the
coming season, and that the boys shall not
see the girls at the same game.
The committee is now convinced that
the girl players, In the presence Of the
boys, are SO eager to prove that they pos
sess as much-tor almost as much
strength, energy and boldness as any boy
that they often overtax themselves and
neglect to "foster girlish grace, modesty
and the finer traits of womanhood" The
boys. on the other hand, often play bas-
ket ball in a garb more appropriate for a
Grecian pediment than for the eyes Of St
Paul girls.

JAFFRAY is DEFEATED
Finch Puts MInikahda Player Out In the
First Round.

+ Plenty OF surprises were furnished yes
terday in the first round at match play in
the state tennis tournament at the Town
and Country club. The sensation OF the
day, however, was the defeat of Jaffray,
the crack Minikahda player, by Billy
Finch Of Town and Country. Jaffray has
been playing a strong game and when he
won the prize for the best score in the
qualifying round with "a, the opinion was
strengthened that the fight for the cham
pionsl1ip would be between him and Bend.
Jatfray started off well In his match
with Finch, winning three OF the first four
holes, and making him 2 up. The Town
and Country man played a splendid uphill
game, however, and was only 1 down at
the end Of the first round. On the first
hole OF the second Jaffray drove into the
brook and lost the hole, making all even.
It was still even UP at the SIXTH but In
negotiating the seventh Jaffray got into
the bunker and lost the hole. Finch made
a beautiful approach of $50 feet on the
eighth and holed out easily, winning the
match up and to play.
The defeat Of Jaffray makes it probable
that Finch and Bend will contest in the
finals for the state championship to-mor-
row. Jaffray was the only Minikahda
man who was thought to have good
chance Of winning the tournament and
Harold Bend is now strong fayorite for
the championship.
Another surprise was the defeat Of
Miller, one Of the strongest Of the Town
and Country men,. by fuller Of Bryn
Mawr. fuller played strong game, both
in the morning and In the afternoon, and
finished up and to play.
A third sensation was the victory Of
Harry I,egg, the 16-year-o ld Bryn Mawr
player, over Lawhead of Minikahda Law
head played consistent golf both Wednes-
day and yesterday morning., and his
greater experience was expected to give
him the victory, but Legg won easily.
He was up at the end Of the first round
and finished 5 up and to play. Legg is
admitted by all to be the coming player
His work in the first two days Of the
tournament has been always strong, and
at times brilliant. Nevertheless, he is not
expected to get past Finch into the finals
John Rees of Bryn5 Mawr played a
strong game against Corse of Minikahda
and finished only 2 down. The other
matches. in the championship flight were
one-sided. the favorites winning in each
case. The defeat Of Bolcorn of winona.

MAY CLOSE BRIDGES
Railway Companies Will Not Re.
pair Highway Over Their
Tracks.
City Officials Refuse Offer of Great
Northern With Some
Hauteur.

Whose duty is it to repair the Western
avenue bridges over the Great Northern
and the St. Louis railroad tracks at Edol-
den street? That mooted question is the
cause of considerable trouble, much cor
respondence, some ill feeling, and the
latest development is the immediate prob
ability of closing up these highways to
public travel.
The railway companies claim that under
the contract made with the city at the
time of the construction of the bridges, the
city is responsible for their being kept in
repair. This obligation is denied by City
Attorney Healey and the supreme court
has sustained his contention in a similar
case.
In the early summer the city manda-
unused the railway companies, citing them
to show cause why they should not re-
pair the highways in question. The de-
PENDANTS answered, and ito the surprise
of the city attorney, denied the sneces-
sity Of repair, thus raising a. question OF
fact which makes the hearing one for a
regular term zof court. In this way sew
eral months time was gained. In the
interim the dangerous condition of the
bridges increases. A short time ago and
after raising this issue, the chief en-
gineer Of the Great Northern wrote. to the
city engineer, admitting that the repairs
were necessary and making the PROPOSE
ton that If the city would go ahead with
| the work their action would not prejudice
the cause now in court, and that they
would be reimbursed should the court de-
eide against the railway companies In the
mandamus proceeding. \
In view of the status of the case this
letter reused the ire Of the city officials
and an answer was sent wherein the city
proposed that the railway company make
the repairs under similar conditions Nc
! answer has been received as yet, but it is
understood that if there is none within q
reasonable time the matter will be
brought before the city council and the
traffic over the bridges stopped indefinite
ly, or until a decision has been reached by
| the courts.

MAY PAY 10 PER CENT TAX
Condition Proposed for General Elec-
trio Co.'s New Franchise.

A subcommittee, consisting Of Alder
men Rand, Holmes and Lane, will meet
with City Attorney Healy and draw up
an ordinance for underground wiring and
a franchise for the Minneapolis General
Electric company under the provisions Of
which the company may be asked to pay
a tax Of 10 per cent on its gross earnings.
The whole committee met yesterday and
heard the representative Of the company
say that the gros earnings for last year
amounted to $42s,000 and that they will
probably reach 100000 this year. Alder
man Rand wanted to know how much the
company was willing to pay as tax and
the representative said that it did not
want to pay anything. Alderman Rand
thought that 10 per cent gross earnings
would be about right and the sub-com-
mittee may follow out his suggestion.

IT'S ALL In THE LIST
No Items of Personal Property Miss
ing From the Local Assess
ment Rolls.
State Auditor Misled in His State
ment by Some Departures
From the Forms.

In making his report on the personal
property returns from Hennepin1 county
State Auditor Iverson seems to have been
misled by the form of reports turned IN.
He appears to be authority for the state
ment that Hennepin county has no line
race horses, fine bred mares, stations,
office furniture or threshing machines and
engines and only two automobiles. he IS
also made to say that there are 800 fewer
persons liable to assessment in Henne-
pin county this year than last and that
the total assessment as made by the as
SCISSORS this year is an increase OF but a
few hundred thousand dollars: The exact
figures are s21,O65,767 for last year and
29,SO0,453 for this year
AS matter of fact the personal prop
erty valuation for Minneapolis is increased
more than $4,000, 900 this year over last,
and between $50 and 800 automobiles We're
taxed in Minneapolis this year.
The automobiles have been included in
the class wagons. carriages bicycles and
other vehicles as have the motorcycles,
and the total valuation placed upon the
automobiles taxed has been about $4,000.
There are about 200 automobiles in the
city that have not been taxed because
their owners showed that the machines
were purchased after May 1 of this year.
There are only about SO taxable motor
cycles.
The threshing machines and engines are
valued at about $250,O00 and the imple-
ment houses Of Minneapolis produced a
personal property valuation Of 100000,
all of which are included under Item IL,
"Manufa cturers Materials and Manufac-
tured Articles The fancy horses are in
cluded in the class, horses, mules and
asses.'
The records in Mr.. Minors office show
that in only one ward in the city has the
valuation of this year run behind that
of last year, that the total number Of
assessments made this year is 1887
against 1878 in 1901 and that the num-
Der Of assessments made in 1902 is prac-
tically the same as that made In 1901.
