MEANING OF A LAW
Banks Divided as to Interpretation
Of Law Abolishing Days
Of Grace.
How Does It Affect Notes Executed
Between Laws Passage
and June 3o2

| One of the principal banks of the city
holds that the law abolishing days Of
grace In Minnesota, as passed by the last
legislature, applies to notes executed after
the passage Of the law and before the
law, according to its own provisions, went
into effect-June 30-and maturing after
June 80. Other banks hold that it ap-
plies only to notes executed after June 80
The last issue of The Blotter contains
an opinion by John Lind and A. Ueland
ITO N. Q. Werner, president of the
Swedish American National bank, to the
effect that the law does not affect instru-
ments executed before June 80. The rea-
sons, In part, are as follows:
The time element in commercial paper is an
integral part of the contract and does not merely
| relate to the remedy. In other words, when 9
party stipulated to pay money in thirty three
days, as, was the low on the thirty day obliga
| ton prior to June 3d. the time was as much ar
essential element Of the contract as the amount
which he agreed to pay. So
The foregoing being true it would have beer
| unconstitutional for the legislature to. assume
| to cut off grace paper already executed
| hence valid law on that subject could only
apply to transactions subsequent to the act
The act could constitutionally have been made
to take effect from and after its passage, bu
| the legislature for prudential reasons, deferred
| It's going Into operation as law until June 80
To hold that Notwithstanding the fact tina
its going into effect was deferred until June 81
by the terms of the act its operation com
menced on tninety-day'' paper from the date O.
It's passage, is an absurdity Its face. W.
have had only two laws to deal with in this sta t
| on the subject OF days of grace on commercial
paper: The former law which allowed grace
| and the present, which does not. II the conten
! ton Of the other bank to which you refer, i
correct, then there has been third law in re
gard to commercial paper executed between tn
da te Of the passage Of the act and June 80, 1908
l which allowed grace on such Instruments as ma
| tured before June 30 and refused 1t on pape
falling due after tliat date. A law does no
go into operation by piecemeal, nor does it OF
crate unequally in. matters pertaining to tn
i same subject. 1t is either in full force 0
no efficiency, unless its provisions are clearl
to the contrary. Prior to the Both day of Jun
| the law of this state was that all commercia
paper bore grace. On the Both day Of Jun
that law ceased to exist and that is all Their
| is to it, - *-~,t l..saa, -
The object of making the law take effect
the future was III harmony with the geners
policy Of the legislation in this state, that no
Of the Legislature takes effect until the thirtiet
day after that on which it is approved by ii
! governor, unless the legislature, for emergenc
reasons, makes it take effect at an earlier date.

$50 FOR CRUELTY
Young Man Who Drove a Horse to
Death Is Fined,

Henry M. Smith, the young man who
hired a horse from w. J. Gavin, a liv-
eryman on Second avenue S, and drove
the animal until it fell dead near Osseo,
a few weeks ago, was found guilty of
cruelty to animals by Judge Holt yes
terday and fined $40. He was also di-
rected to pay the costs Of prosecution
which will double the expense to him.
It appears that Smith hired the horse
and drove to the home of his mother,
where a, party was organized and taken
to Anoka to attend a dance. On his way
home, the horse became i'll and he
stopped at a, farm house where the horse
died before being unhitched. The farmer
said the horse died from exhaustion,
the result of over-driving.

THE "DELIVERER" AT ZION.
Is this the Man Who Will Save "EIjah'
From the Sharks?
(By the Associated Press. J


Chicago, Dec. 4.-Stronger proof of the
fact that all John Alexander Dowie' :
creditors are not a unit in the desire
to have his estate administered by the
bankruptcy court was given this after
noon. Seven creditors representing claims
of more than So 900 filed an answer in
the United States District Court in which
they asked Judge Kohlsaat to inquire into
the question of Dowies solvency at once
They denied that the head of Zion City
is insolvent or that he was in that condi
tion when the bankruptcy proceedings
were begun against him and they also
averred that Dowie should not be de-
clared bankrupt for any cause set forth
in the original petition. The lawyers
who represent these seven creditors de-
clare that additional claims amounting
to close to 100000, will be united in the
contest against the bankruptcy proceed
ings. Frank Helmer, one of these d,
torneys said that without the receiver
ship Dowie would be able to pay dollar
for dollar.
A middle-aged man. known to Dowie's
followers only as the milwaukee mil
lionaire," arrived at Zion City today. 4
prominent Dowiete, who refused to al
low the use of his name, said that the
visitor was the "deliverer' whom Dowie
mentioned at his rally meeting Wednes
day as being willing to pay Dowie's en-
tire indebtedness if Dowie wished. Dowle
and his cabinet" met the new conner

Miss Sidney is supported by a strong and
well equipped company, headed by Mr.
Edward D'Oize, and the great comedy OF
Shakespeare is given correct in every de
tail as to scenic effects and costumes.
Miss Sidney is beautiful clever, talented
with rare histrionic and elocutionary
ability and charming manner. A large
audience should greet her.
Tickets will be on sale at the Robbitt
Wynne Drug Company, and the price OF
admission has been placed at 20 cents, sc

Greensboro Ice and Coal Company VS.
Southern Railway and in the case OF
Charlotte Shippers Association VS. Sea-
board Air Line. There are 1853 typewriter
pages of the former and ffty-three of the
latter.
The Greensboro Ice and Coal Company
case is the one in which the Southern
Railway refused to obey the order OF
the Commission to place cars on the
private siding of the Ice and Coal Com
pany The penalty for refusing to dis
obey an order of the Commission is $500
day and unless the Southern Railway
appeals to the courts and succeeds in OBJ
tanning a reversal of the judgment of the
Commission, 1T must pay that $500 for
each day it refused to obey the order of
the Corporation Commission, and that
will amount to thousands of dollars. for
it was some six or eight days.
The Charlotte case is petition for
lower freight rates on the Seaboard Air
Line.
Both of these cases will probably be de-
cded by the Commission this week
