KN0ITY LEGAL PROBLEM
SHOULD COMPLAINT FOR NON
SUPPORT BE MADE BEFORE
JUDGE OR CLERK OF COURT.

A motion to dismiss the action for
non-support against Peter Walters
was argued before Judge Brooks this
morning. The decision will be rem
dered next Tuesday. The motion
raised the interesting point whether a
complaint for non-support must be
sworn to before a judge or justice. or
before the clerk Of the municipal
court, as has been the custom in Hen
nepin county. The defendants attor-
ney contended that the failure to
swear to it before the judge made the
complaint illegal, while the state ar
gued that the powers of the clerk and
judge were equal in such matters.
Defendants counsel also argued
that the complaint was invalid because
it failed to state facts sufficient to con-
stitute a public offense. The COM
plant alleges that the defendant failed
to supply his wife with food. clothes
and medical attendance. The defense
maintained that he might fail to sup
ply her with nightingales' tongues.

MAUDE HIT MABEL
And PAYS$3 FINE
Pretty Schoolgirl Fined for Stand
ing Up for Her Little
Sister. a..a...7.s

A, strenuous spat between two South
Minneapolis school girls in which
blows were struck was aired in police
court this morning, when Maude Hig-
gins pleaded guilty to a charge of
assault and battery on her one-time
friend Mabel Parker.
Maude is a pretty and innocent
looking maiden of 16. When the
court asked why she had taken it upon
herself to administer punishment to
her schoolmate, she said:
''Oh, l didn't hurt her much. just
hit her few times because she needed
it. For several weeks she's been maxi
ing insulting remarks to my younger
sister and I put up with it as long as
1 could. Tuesday / heard Mabel teas
ing the little girl and told her to quit.
She made some remarks and hit her.
That's all there is to it,
Mabel wanted revenge and immedi-
ately swore out complaint for
Maude's arrest. She was not locked
up, but allowed to stay at home and
come to court this morning unat-
tended by an officer.
Judge Holt did not think the case
warranted serious consideration and
gave a nominal fine of So, which was
cheerfully paid. ... ..

Cl1Y'S ASSETS
And LIABILITIES
CITY CONTROLLER WILL MAKE
REPORT TOMORROW NIGHT.
1t Will Show Only Part of Figures
Desired, hbut All that Mr.. Rogers
Books Are Able to Disclose-Cause
of the Lack Is Explained.

City Controller Joshua Rogers reply
to the demand of the city council for
a complete statement of all assets and
liabilities Of the city and it's depart
ments will be submitted to the coun-
Gil tomorrow evening. The report
will include all that Mr.. Rogers is
able to give, but by no means all the
information desired.
Mr.. Rogers books do not contain
some of the information desired. This
lack is due in great measure to the
failure or inability of the county audi
tors for years past to make certain
reports to the controller required by
law.
Mr.. Rogers. however, reports that
the records of his office show that the
assests of Minneapolis include delin-
quent taxes amounting to $573,059.79.
Among the liabilities are advances for
special improvements payable from
next july to July /, 1908, aggregating
$63.G75.8G. The school fund assets
from delinquent taxes are $10,442.92
while the liabilities are $4,000 due
June 80, 1904. The library board fund
which has $9,o50.73 due from delin-
quent taxes has no liabilities out
standing.
While the report is not satisfactory
to the local representatives Of Jones
Caesar 8 Co., the expert accountants
no further demands will be made un-
til the county auditor has submitted
complete report on delinquent taxes
which is promised for April /.
