some confusion of classification as for
example, in the assessment of engines
and boilers. many of which had been
assessed with the real estate as fixtures
of the buildings, while in other cases
the same class of property had been
listed separately.
He said that in Minneapolis the
printing presses and other machinery
of all of the newspapers had been as
sessed with the buildings. This sew
eral of the members declared to be
wrong. Theyt believed that movable
machinery should be assessed separ-
ately and onlyasueh plants as are per-
manent fixtures of a building should
be assessed Witho the buildings
Chairman Sprague commented upon
the fact that an assessor who has
taken an oath -to assess property at
its full value will SO out and deliber-
ately make an assessment of so per
cent; but he quickly added: But this
board is in the same fix, so perhaps
the less said about that the better
The afternoon was given over chief
ly to consideration of the portion of
the schedule which embraces logs and
lumber, and in taking up this work the
board decided1.to make a general in
crease of 10 per cent in that division
over the assessment of last year
From the report of the committee
on logs and lumber, which was pre-
scented at the same time by Mr.. Cor
don, this was found, however. to be
.impracticable by reason of the fact
that in many counties property which
should go into class IL has been 9TH

marked discrepancies in spots.
Raise Logs and Lumber
Therefore the board did the best it
could with the schedules as Illuminated
by the committee report, with the re-
suit that logs and lumber were sub
Jected to total Increase of $406, 6S5.
The aggregate assessment in this
classification for the state last year
was $S,632,622 and the returns for this
year $19,742, zoe, an increase of 50, 109,-

Comparatively few of the counties
were increased and the changes We're
made chiefly on specific information
rather than because of comparison

HOLDS THE SUNDAY
CLOSING LAW VALID
Judge Hine Says Ii Is Not Class
Legislation Grocer VIII
Appeal.


The state law prohibiting the public
sale of merchandise by grocers and
others on Sunday, enacted at the last
session of the legislature; was held
constitutional by Judge Hine, of the
IhunlclpaI court, in an opinion filed
yesterday in the case against P. J.
Holman, a grocer. The decision in the
case of Hoffman will affect the. eases of
i've other retail merchants, accused of
violating the law, who, through their
attorney, stipulated that they would be
bound by the result in the Hoffman
case.
The merchants accused of violating.
the law admitted at the outset Of the
proceedings that if the law was valid
they were guilty. The cases were con-
tinued for one week after the filing Of
the opinion, and Judge Hine will then
impose the penalties, after which, it is
understood, an appeal will be taken to
the supreme court.
The grocers contend that if the law
prohibiting them from selling goods on
Sunday is valid saloonkeepers and
theater managers should be likewise
amenable to the regulation.
The constitutionality of the law was
attacked by the defendant on the
grounds that it's title was insufficient
in failing to express the subject of the
legislation, and, secondly, that it is
class legislation, establishing exclusive
privileges for the excepted businesses
over those prohibited. In regard to the
first objection Judge Hine holds, is his
opinion, that the title is sufficient in
specifying that the enactment amends
a specified section of the penal CODE
AS for the contention that the law is
class legislation Judge Hine says that
the original section contained all of the
section as amended, with the exception
that In the new law the words, ''ex-
cept that articles of food may be sold
and supplied at any time before 10
o'clock in the morning." have been
stricken out. The amendment, the
opinion declares, contains no new cIas-
sification except one in degree, the only
change being that it prohibited certain
articles being sold at all which before
its passage could have been sold before
10 o'clock
The act upheld by Judge Hine pro-
vides that only confectionery, drugs,
surgical instruments, meals to be eaten
on the premises and tobacco kept at
places where liquor is not sold may be
sold on Sunday, while the public sale
of all other articles is prohibited.

SEEKS RELEASE. OF
CONVICTED PLUMBER
Habeas Corpus Will Be Argued This
Morning.

Attorney McDermott yesterday sued
out writ of habeas corpus in the case
of Paul Chapel, the plumber, who was
convicted in the municipal court for
working without a state license. The
writ was served upon Sheriff Justus
yesterday. calling upon him to have
Chapel in court this morning at 10
o'clock, at which time the arguments
in the matter will be heard by Judge
Brill.
The Chapel case was tried more for
the purpose of testing the law than for
any other reason, and the decision
handed down by Judge Finehout was
considered a great victory for the
striking plumbers, whose places have
been filled to some extent by plumb
ers from outside the state. The union
men declare that these men have no
right to work in Minnesota without
first having secured a license. A large
number of workmen are affected by the
decision, and for this reason the mat
ter will be carried into the district
court,

State Board of Equalization
Criticises Methods of the
Minneapolis Assessor.

c. j. Minor, city assessor for Min
neapolis, furnished the state board OF
equalization yesterday afternoon with
an explanation, if not a justification of
some of the very peculiar diserepan-
cies that have been found in the as
sessment rolls Of his district
He told the board that so long as he
could induce a property owner to list
his personal holdings for assessment
he had not been at all particular as to
proper classification of that property,
but had placed it In almost any old
column to. suit the preference Of the
owner and achieve the result of Secur-
ing a record of the property for as
SeSSment.
This inspired Mr.. Cooley to remark
that it was very unsatisfactory to the
state board to have assessments made
on that plan. The board, he said
expected people to follow the same
rules from year to year and to list
property under its proper classified
ton, that comparison with former
years might mean something, but with
loose methods of classification the
board could tell nothing of either the
relation of one county to another or
the relation Of the assessment of a
present year to those of past years.
There is no excuse for poor assess
ments In either Ramsey or Hennepin
county" said Chairman Sprague, efor
those counties have, intelligent and
competent men to do that work. The
men are chosen for their fitness, and
are paid according to the require
ments.''

RIVER MAKES new
HIGH WATER MARK
Captain of Lighthouse Tender
Says Fall Floods Have Es-
tabiished a Record.

II have never seen the river so high
at this time of the year. said Capt. w.
G. Eagon, of the government light
house tender. Lilly, which arrived in
st. Paul yesterday, on it's second and
last trip of the season, and Capt. Ea-
gon has been on the river since he was
fourteen years old
The high water, Capt Eagon says,
has done immense damage to people
along the fertile river bottoms. The
corn planted early in the spring got
falrly started when the river rose and
it was flooded. Then the bottom land
farmers planted what is known as
ninety-day corn, and now, just as it is
tasseling out, some of the highest wa
ter OF the year is encountered and the
crop ruined.
The water has also done eonsidera-
bic damage to the government marks
and lights. There are 500 lights in
the district covered by the Lilly 1874
dry marks and % barrel buoys. Many
day marks have been washed out and
the water is so high on many beacon
posts that the lights are put in trees.
Weather Changes Rapidly.
A lifelong steamboat man, Capt.
EagOn is a close observer of the wealth
CT, but says he never saw anything to
equal the experience of the Lilly as it
passed through Lake Pepin Thursday.
The sun was shining when the Lilly
entered the lake. Soon it clouded and
began to snow. Then the sun shone for
short time, and Immediately after
ward 1t began to hail. Three snow
storms were encountered by the boat
IN passing through the lake. and when
the boat left the lake the sun was shin
ing.
The water has been unusually good
this year, according to Capt Eagon.
1t was the lowest when the Lilly was
here last June. The Lilly goes up and
down the river, making soundings and
locating the best water, and then plae-
ing the lights and marks, so that all
the steamboat captain has to do is to
follow the government marks to get
the best water. This work keeps the
crew of twenty-four busy. The boat
makes two trips year from st. Louis
TO st. Paul, but between Cairo and ST.
Louis, where the channel is more vari-
able, closely resembling the Missouri.
which comes in at ST. Louis, six OF. sew
en- trips are made. The boat also goes
up the Illinois river to Peoria.
Missouri Is Abandoned.
No trips have been made up the Mis-
souri, for the past two years, and that
river is practically abandoned, except
for local excursion business.
Commander A. c. Baker, in charge of
the work, accompanied the boat to st.
Paul, but left last night for Chicago
by rail. He is member of the trans
portation department of the st. Louis
exposition
The Lilly will remain in st. Paul for
TWO or three days, and will then go
down the river to ply between St.
Louls and Cairo until late in the fall
