NEW SALOON PLAN
BY ALD..LARS RAND
Lessons RESPONSIBILITY OF
DEALERS SELLING MINORS.
He WOULD Place the Responsibility
upon the Minor and Excuse the
Sa1oonIkeeper If He Merely Asks
;, the Customers Age,

Responsibility for the sale of
liquor to a minor will be placed upon
the shoulders Of the person buying
the liquor, if an ordinance which
Lars M. Rand is preparing,
passes the city council.
The Rand ordinance will excuse the
saloonkeeper from responsibility for
the SALE. if he first asks the pros
pective buyer if he is FL years old
This measure will probably arouse
as much of an uproar, as did the IA
nous Rand ordinance providing that
none but authorized officers of the
law could make legal complaint
against saloonkeepers who violated
the ordinances.
Under the present ordinance,
said Alderman Rand, this morning,
there is no provision which excuses
a saloonkeeper, even tho the person
buying the liquor says he is of age.
L porpose to place the responsibility
where it belongs, and if the purchaser
informs the saloon, man that he is
FL years old when such is not the
case, then the RESPONSE bilitya will rest
with him ndtvnot1 with the saloon
man. sa42gtscs., g,e
Alderman Rand, Aeelared his inten-
ton to secure a, change Iii the ordi-
nance while defending Chris Lund-
quist in police court this morning on
a enlarge of selling liquor to-. a minor.
He took occasion to commend Judge
Dickinson for the stand he has taken
in trying to stamp out vice. and
pledged his support as an alderman
to the crusade against selling liquor
to minors.
Lindquist was fined $50, which he
paid.

ALDERMEN 4 GET ].
INCREASED PAY
CITY TREASURER TAKES ISSUE
WITH CONTROLLER.
Thinks Higher Salaries Must Be Paid
Until Law is Upset by Supreme
Court, and Acts Accordingly
Rogers Still Objects to Signing War;
rants.

City Treasurer G. S. Hubert is pay
ing the aldermen their increased sal
aries. When Controller Joshua Rog-
ers heard of it he notified Mr.. Hubert
that under no circumstances would he
sign the warrants which the treasurer
should have as vouchers for his dis
bursements. Mr.. Hubert continued
to pay the higher figure, however, and
every city father that appeared at his
wicket this morning was presented
with check for $25 in addition to the
customary check for $41.88.
The treasurer, according to custom,
is paying the money out on the pay
roll passed by the city council last
evening. Should the controller refuse
warrants when the proper time comes,
Mr.. Hubert will retain the pay roll
as voucher and Mr.. Rogers will have
on hand some unsigned warrants in
stead Of the pay roll hich whe should
have.
Unlike Mr.. Rogers, the city treasur-
er takes the position that an act of the
legislature is the law until the SUI
preme court has upset it. AS all the
proceedings have been above board
and regular, he sees no other course
than to recognize the pay roll.
It is understood, however, that the
treasurer will be restrained by an in
junction on the next pay day from
paying the aldermen at the rate Of
$500 a year. A citizen active in
the taxpayers league stated to-day
that the proceedings would be brought
at once to restrain further payments
There is no contention that the new
salary is excessive and the only point
raised is that the law is unconstitu-

SCHOOL CHILDREN
GOOD SPOILERS.
RESULTS OF GENERAL TEST OF
SCHOOLS VERY SATISFACTORY.
Forty Out Of Fffty-four Schools Show
an Average of More Than 20 Per

Honors With an Average of Ola Per

Most astonishing were the results
obtained by a spelling test for all the
children in the public schools in all
the grades above the third, held Jan.
49,, If this test, the results of which
have just been summarized, shows
anything, it shows that some teachers
pay great attention to spelling, while
others apparently pay none at all, or
else have classes composed largely Of
dolts.
Some rooms show up with an aver
age for the whole room Of less than so
per cent of the words correctly spelled.
Two rooms were, in fact, below that
the showing is fine. Out of hfty-four
schools in the test forty have a school
average Of better than 70 per cent,
and there is only one school below 60.
For school averages the figures are
considered very satisfactory.
The Madison school contains the
champion spoilers, leading with per-

are many hundreds of children in

1t is when the figures get down to
the individual classes that they get

has an average Of SO per cent. Most
Of the pupils were, of course, perfect.

WANT TO ENTER ST. PAUL
MINNESOTA POWER AND TROLL
LEY COMPANY FAVORS LAKE
STREET BRIDGE ROUTE
READY TO SPEND MONEY.

Carrying out it's plan for a line from
st. Paul to Minnetonka, the Minnesota
Power and Trolley company has ar
ranged to apply for running privileges
thru st. Paul.
J. L. Kiichli spent most Of yesterday
in the st. Paul city hall examining
plats and plans and records prenmi-.
nary to mapping out the route be-
tween the two cities. The route by
the Marshall street bridge is looked
upon most favorably, altho it will ne
cessitate the widening of the bridge
floor at an expense of about $4,000.
''The Minnesota Power and Trolley
company has plenty of money behind
it as we'll as plenty of power said Mr..
Kiichi this morning. THE company
has expended or secured options which
call for the expenditure Of 100000 up
to date. If the desired interurban
right Of way is secured, the expendi-
ture will amount to $2,000,000, as a
starter. We have $4,000 horse power
at Elk River and that will be suffi-
cient for immediate or prospective
needs.
! I'VE have not moved for franchises
for the interurban line in either Min
neapolis or st. Paul, but unless the
governing bodies of the two cities ask
too much and give too little, we will
go ahead with the interurban line"

ANSWERS LAWS CRITICS
BUILDING INSPECTOR HOUGH-
TON MAKES REPLY TO CRITI-
CISM OF THE PROPOSED BUILD
ING ORDINANCE.

Building Inspector James G.. HouEh-
ton denies that the new theater ordi-
nance provides one law for new thea
tiers and another for those already
erected. The present theaters have
substantially complied with the provi-
sions of the sections which are not
made specifically applicable to them,
he says.
The chief safeguard as far as the
public is concerned, lies in section 81,
which gives the building inspector au-
thority to order the installation of any
fire protective measures, fire escapes,
widening Of exits and aisles and re-
arrangement Of seats that he may
deem necessary for the safety Of the
public.
He denies all responsibility for the
section which prohibits the use of any
room in front Of the theater for any
purpose other than that connected
with the conducting of performances.
When the committee met he called the
attention Of the aldermen to the fact
that several cities had this provision
in their ordinances and asked their
advice. They ordered the Insertion of
the section.
PERSONALLY says Mr.. Houghton, IT
see no objection to having small stores
in the front part of the theaters if the
width of the lobby or exit is adequate.
If there is then room for small stores
they can not do any harm"

AUS DER oHE CONCERT

A concert Of unusual excellence was
that given at the Wesley cuhrch last
evening under the auspices OF the Phllhar-
monte club, by the Minneapolis Symphony
orchestra. with Fri. Adele Aus der
Ohe, pianist, as the soloist. Paramount
interest was conferred in the appearance Of
the soloist, who has not been heard in
Minneapolis in many years. and OF whose
playing the audience was prepared to
judge critically.
The principal number Of the concert was
of course the List Concerto No. 1, in E |
fiat" played by the so1oist and orchestra.
To say that it was superbly played Is not
to speak extravagantly. The piano score
bristled with great technical difficulties,
and the utmost care was necessary to
make the symphonic poem thing Of
unity To Fri. Aus der Ohe's complete
and thoro preparation, and to her peculiar
" brilliant mental and technical equip
ment is due in no small measure the won
derful success Of the number. It was
spontaneous and given with dash and
abandon, and with splendid verve. Di-
rector Oberhoffer and the orchestra played
unmixed delight. It was tremendous
success and at its conclusion the pianist
was recalled three times, finally respond
ing to the insistent encore.
1t is not difficult to note the qualities
which make for Fri Aus der Ohe's sue
cess. She is first and last a superb tech
nician. Her mind is pre.eminently rhyth->
mical, mathematical. She Is absolutely
precise She closes each musical phrase
at the exact fraction of an instant that
it should end. And this is source Of

to be largely lacking. Those delicious tone

Six Minneapolis flour mills will close
down tonight and Will remain down
thru the early part Of next week. Four
mills are already down and this will
put ten out Of operation. It is ex-
pected that the shutdown will be Of
short duration. Millers say the clos
ing is due to- the fact that buyers are
a little slow to adjust their views to
suit the changed conditions in the.
market. s.
The mills are sold ahead on flour,
but shipping directions for old lots
are hard to get. and now business is
light. Flour buyers fear that Armour
may break the wheat market some
day by selling his big line of futures,
and are holding off in the hope that
this will happen and that flour prices
will be lower. .& h =
Millers say the situation Is legiti-
mately strong and that it would have
ito be a big break in wheat to affect
flour prices in any important degree.

VERY MUCH MARRIED
Clara Sodini Alleged to Have Had
Number of Husbands.

Judge Pond this morning denied j.
c. Sodini's motion to dismiss his di-
vorce action against Clara Sodini. The
plaintiff claimed that his own mar
rage was illegal on account Of an al
legged invalidity in the service of a
summons and complaint upon the de-
PENDANTS former husband, Robert J.
Nelson, served under the name of
John s. Bradley. The Judge holds
Robert J. Nelson and John s. Bradley
to be one and the same man and that
man the defendant in the divorce ac-
ton, upon whom the summons and
complaint was legally served. He
states, however; that claim advanced
by the plaintiff that he can show that
the defendant had married Nelson
without being divorced from a: still
prior husband, can be shown IN the
trial Of the case and may prove a
ground for having the marriage with
Sodini annulled.
Sodini began the suit for a divorce
In good faith, but when he was served
with a cross bill In which Mrs. Sodini
asked $4,000 alimony the plaintiffs
lawyers began to look for chance to
get the marriage annul1ed without a

PREACHER IN THE WOODS
REV. II. f. ARCHER TELLS OF EX-
PERIENCES AMONG THE -LUM-
Der CAMPS-CHANCE FOR A
( NEW SOCIETY.

A neglected set of men, from a re-
ligious and social standpoint, are the
lumbermen in the northern woods.
Missionary WQkk in foreign lands and
at home is good, but some organiza-
ton ought to look after the needs Of
the lum bermen more closely.
This is the view of Rev. T.. E..
Archer, pastor of Ruskin Hall, who
has just returned from thirteen
days trip thru the lumber camps,
northwest of Duluth. Mr.. Archer.
did not by any means find total de-
pravity or gross immortality among
the lumbermen. On the contrary, he
finds the men well behaved and,
manly, But" he says. "they have
nothing to do but work and eat and
sleep for the most part, and it is not
strange that their minds often run
off the track and down grade.''
Mr.. Archer was delighted with the
way in which he was received. He
preached and sang and lectured on
the holy land and Egypt. The men
heard him eagerly and even encored
him. They showed a fondness for
singing, especially gospel hymns.
That they were bound by strong
ties was shown by their interest in
any one who might come from, the
old home Such man was greeted
with open arms.
There is strong interest in poll
tics and Roosevelt is "the whole
thing" says Mr.. Archer. In some
camps pictures of the president oc-
cupy conspicuous places. The thing
that makes the president popular with
the lumbermen is his sturdy manli-
ness and force2ulness.
The men IN the camps, says Mr..
Archer, fall on reading matter that
chances their way like dogs on a
choice bone. A society to keep the
lumber camps supplied with good
reading matter would have worthy
object and would accomplish perma-
nent. good.
