Official condemnation was given yes
terday to practice pursued by the
American Book company-the social
ed book trust-in obtaining business
of public school boards of Minnesota.
AT the meeting of~the state public
school library commission, held yester-
day afternoon at the office of State
Superintendent J. w Olsen, chairman
of the commission, at the state capitol,
resolution was adopted unanimously
condemning the American Book COM
pany for alleged double dealing in So
Letting the purchase by school boards
of books for school libraries The res
olution is the first public knowledge
that the school book trust has been
using tactics to secure the sale of it's
books that appear to the commission
of doubtful propriety.
The alleged offense was the sending
out by the American company printed
lists of its books to school directors
containing a virtual Endorsement by
the state superintendent Of the lists
submitted. The lists were printed on
blank, and on the back of each blank
was copy Of the instructions as to
methods of purchasing books, taken
bodily from the state library cata-
logues, and signed by Mr.. Olsen as
state superintendent of public instruc-
ton and chairman of the public school
library commission.
Circulars Arouse Commission
Copies Of the offending circulars
found their way to the state superin-
tendentS office some weeks ago and
created sensation when they came
to light. The obvious purpose was 10
create In the minds of prospective
school library purchasers the impress
sion that the state superintendent had
officially Endorsed the list sent out by
the American Book company. ~ 49,
When it was learned that numbers Of
orders for books had been secured on
the strength of the circulars, State
Superintendent Olsen decided to pre-
sent the matter to the first meeting of
the commission, and the result was the
adoption Of the following resolution
yesterday: ,e4,4;s.s,t,,
Whereas, A certain list of library books,
all published by the American Book com
pany, has been sent out to school officers
I IN the state over the signature Of the
state superintendent of public Instruction.
who is the chairman of the state public
school library commission, T4 4,
Whereas This has been done without
his knowledge and consent, and 2-
Whereas, Such list appears to be rec
commended by him, and thereby has the
appearance Of an official publication and
recommendation,
Resolved. That the public school library
commission disclaims all responsibility for
the making and distribution of said list
and hereby expresses its Misrepresentation
of such an unwarranted procedure.
Action Is Rebuked
State Superintendent olsen was not
inclined to discuss the resolution and
the practice employed by the school
book company which brought about it's
passage.

Creditors of E. S. Bennett Start Legal
Dispute in Justice Court

AS a result of suit by A. Giliis
against the Chicago Great Western to
recover wages assigned to him by E.
S. Bennett, an employee of the railroad
company, a squabble has been started
in Justice Mills court to secure part
of S110 due Bennett and deposited by
the Great Western with the court.
Bennett gave a note for SIS to Gill
lis on Jan. Z last, and on the same date
assigned his wages to pay the claim.
The money was not paid by the COM
pany on demand of ellis and the suit
was started. Bennett then had $110
coming and the railroad paid that sum
into the court, at the same time reply
ing that Peter Otto had presented
claim for $50. which he demanded on
the strength of an assignment from
Bennett. Judge Mills will hear the
case Sept. 13.

mously by the commission he said,
"and when a public body finds it proper
and necessary to pass such a reSolu-
ton, there must certainly have been
sufficient aggravation. The purpose of
the employment of the. instructions
contained in our state library cata-
logues, WithT the wholly .unauth orized
use Of mys ha1he, was unquestionably
to give the, false impression that my
Office had Endorsed the list of books
sent out by the company to school Off

commission has seen fit to rebuke the
action Hccii aS.si5.
The state public school library COM
mission was in session but short

commended for use in school libraries

Interested in the affairs of the COM
papy which controls developed minin 9
properties at Tubutama in the Altar
district, Sonora, continues as n direc-
tor of the Sonora Mining and Milling
company and is we'll satisfied with
conditions as they exist as relates to
this company. Incidentally, he stated
Yesterday that the company had clos
ed deal here with the representative
of the Mexican Exploration company
whereby the Sonora Mining and Mill
ing company, having paid II handsome
sum towards the purchase price, which
all concerned in the transaction re-
served the right to keep inviolatc,
would acquire forty-two pertenencias
of mineral land in the Altar district,
forty miles from tide water and on the
proposed line of railway, which has
been contemplated to take in Tucson
on it's route to Port Lobos in north
western Sonora. There are 5000 acres
of timber land, with good water sup
ply, included in the transaction.
The mining properties acquired were
worked 800 years ago in primitive
fashion, while in the early eighties
Californians operated thereon. 1t is
recorded that the company that oper-
ated in 1882 made on shipment of
bars of gold and silver to San Fran
cisco in 1882 which represented $780,
900. Mr.. O'Keefe said the taiIings on
the dump at this date was estimated
at $1,000 tons, carrying values of a
quarter million of dollars.
AIR. O'Keefe was asked in a gen ieral
way about the Tubutama properties
and in reply he said the Sonora NJ. IL
NJ. Co., would not operate there until
the newly acquired properties had
been brought to such condition that
the company could see their way clear
to spare means out of the profits to be
made from the property just purchas-
ed. At that time, which the company
do not regard as far distant. operations
at Tubutama will be resumed.
Papers were drawn up and the sig
natures thereto were witnessed at the
office of one of the leading West Pen
nington street attorneys yesterday
afternoon. The eastern people will
return home this week, while Mr..
O'keefe expects to leave for Sonora.
