SPEED OF BUBBLES
Minneapolis Man Invents an Attach
nent that Shows Speed at a
Glance.
Speed Is Indicated by Colored Sec.
tions Of Circle There Are
No Figures.

A speed indicator, which indicates
for public and chauffeur alike has
been perfected by e. j. Hodgson, a
Minneapolis architect, after fourteen
months Of experimenting. The de-
vice has been patented and a company
formed here to put it on the market.
SO far as the patent office shows this
has stood the strain of use.
Mr.. Hodgson's perfected indicator
consists of a small brass cylinder. in
either end of which is a white face, a
sector of which is missing. This in
complete circle revolves over another
on which are painted sectors In diff
ferent colors.
When the machine is within the
town streets by the ordinance, a black
sector shows. When the speed
reaches ten miles an hour, a light
green sector is exposed, while a red
sector. comes into view when the
speed reaches twenty-nliles an hour.
AS these faces are parallel with the
course of the automobile pedestrians,
and particularly police officers. can
tell at a glance whether the machine
is going at a proper speed.
For the benefit Of the chauffeur q
| tape, exposed thru narrow strip OF
glass in the side of the cylinder fac
ing him, tells the exact speed at
tanned. An electric battery in the
cylinder provides light in case the
machine is used at night. and the cyl.
inder, which is connected with the
front axle by a sprocket attachment
and a swivel arrangement much like
that used sin dentists chairs, is fast
ened In front of the chauffeur.

ANSWERS Van SAINT
Dunn's Manager Gives Out State
ment in Reply to the Govern.
or's Interview.
He Accuses Governor Of an Attempt
to Dictate to the Republican
Party.

Governor Van SAINTS interview on
state politics has called out the ex-
pected reply from the supporters Of
Robert C. Dunn. George A.. Finn,
former land clerk under Mr.. Dunn.
and now manager of his political In
terests. has given out the following
statement: |
"The republican party of the state
of Minnesota is big enough and old
enough to select it's own candidate for
governor and to make Its own plat
form No Individual, whether he be
Governor Van SAINT or any one else,
can dictate who the candidate shall be
or what the platform shall contain.
The republican party of the state has
never submitted to boss yet. and
never will. &c. Dunn. against whom
the Van SAINT newspapers say TINS Iul-
mination of the governor was directed.
will be nominated by the duly elected
in 1904. and he will stand upon the
platform adopted by that convention
and upon every plank of 1T.
There are plenty of good men, hon
est, capable men, in this state, outside
of Dunn, Eddy and other named can
didates:. who would be deharre q from
the gubernatorial nomination If Gov
ernor Van SAINTS say-so had any eff
feet.
This reply from Mr.. Dunn's author
lied spokesman will cause almost as
much of a sensation as the interview
with the governor, which gave rise to
it. It is evident from Mr.. Films
statement that he considers the COVER
nor's interview an attack on Dunn and
that it will be a fight-to a finish be-
tween the state administration and the
Dunn supporters.

The Student Who Used Knife Is Acs
quilted.
Arthur Peterson, the university student
who stabbed Octave Prenevost near Fiji
teenth avenue and Fourth street Sc, sew
eral days ago, was arraigned IN the nu-
nicpal court this morning for a prelirnin-
airy hearing on a charge of assault with q
dangerous weapon.
An alteration took place between the
students and a crowd of city boys who
were finally rushed off the grounds. Later
there was another clash. and Prenevost re-
ceived a knife wound in the side. Mem
hers of the town party admitted on the
stand that they had 1t in for Peterson and
that they began the attack. The defense
had large number of witnesses to prove
that Peterson was trying to make a re-
treat when he drew his knife and that his
action was purely in self-defense.
In rendering his decision Judge Dick
inson said he did not wish to encourages
the use of a dangerous weapon even in
cases of assault, but in this case he
thought the attackers should be compelled
to take the consequences Of their quarrel.
He refused to hold Peterson to the grand
| Jury and the case was dismissed after a
severe rebuke to the crowd Of which the
| compla inant was a member.
