LEGAL HOLIDAY
. COUNTS AS NO DAY
JUDGE CRAY MAKES RULING ON
INTERESTING POINT.
When SiXtieth Day of Time for Re-
demption of Property Sold for Taxes
Comes on a Holiday, Owner Is En-
titled to Get Statement on the Day
Following.

legal holiday is no day in the eyes
Of the Minnesota tax law.
This, at least, is Judge Willard r.
Cray's Interpretation of the law as APP
piled in the. case of Charles W. Chase
against Marcus Hobart and others.
The court holds that the time for
redemption cannot expire on a legal
holiday, and that property owner
who offers to redeem on the sixty
first day Of the redemption period,
when the sixtieth day falls upon a
holiday, is entitled to a statement and
can then become the legal owner of
the property. The point is new one
in this state, the law providing for
Sunday, but not for legal holidays.
The plaintiff purchased at a tax sale
a lot in Remington's Second addition
to Minneapolis. Notice of redemption
was served and the sixty days expired
Monday, Sept Z, 1908. Monday was
Labor. Day, and finding the auditors
office closed, the defendant did not
apply for a statement until Tuesday,
Sept. 8.
County Auditor Scott decided that
the, Applicant was entitled to right
to redeem, and acted accordingly.
Mr.. Chase, the owner Of the tax title,
then brought suit.

Is Sodini thru in Minneapolis?
What ails the eyes of License In
spector Matt Walsh?
These questions are suggested by re-
suits of the councils license commit
tee session this morning.
Licenses for the malodorous Column
bia and Park variety theaters were re-
fused. Largely owing to the intelli-
gent activity Of the Home Protective
League, the committee was convinced
that Leon solomon, applicant Tor the
Columbia license, was practically an
agent for j. c. Sodini, the notorious.
And that was enough for the commit
tee.
AS to Matt walsh's eyesight: The
Home Protective league members
present at to-day's session showed that
despite definite orders that the in
spector must keep the committee in
formed, several places were running IN
open violation of the wineroom and
liquor ordinances.
It appeared from the testimony of
members of the league who had dis
cussed the new plans for the Colum-
bia theater with j. G. Sodini, that he
was the controlling spirit in the VEN
ture and would continue to be. Solo
mon himself admitted that his lease
for the theater building was on a
sort Of contingent basis. He was to
pay a monthly rental of $500, but
could retire from the bargain in case
the theater license was not granted.
No one appeared in behalf of the
Park theater application, and no &C
ton was necessary, as the theater is
closed.
The league thereupon asked that
licenses to sell liquor be refused to

Winerooms Described.
Charles w. Purple, one Of the old
time "crusaders," stated that he had
visited the places and had found what
he described as winerooms or stalls.
At the Stoke saloon, several men
and women were drinking freely IN
one of the rooms. At the O'Donnell
place the winerooms are upstairs
Two young women took the orders
and the liquor was sent upstairs by q
dumb waiter No women were found
in the Ersin and Miniger places and
if it was satisfactorily shown that the
rooms, which have the appearance OF
winerooms, are not frequented by
women, but are devoted to legitimate
purposes the league will withdraw its
objections to licenses. All four appl1-
cations were, however, held up pend
ing further Investigations.
Mr.. Purple reported a disgraceful
state of affairs at the saloon of Peter

room was filed with women soliciting

URGED AUDITORIUM PLAN
PHILHARMONICSA AND CONNER
CIAL CLUB OFFICIALS TALKED
OF 1T AT ENTERTAINMENT
SCI LAST EVENING.

Between the second and third parts
of the oratorio Samson and Delilah,'' &
by. the Philharmonic club at the In
ternational auditorium last night,
Frederick Fayran, for the club, and
William L. Harris, for the Commercial
club and public spirited citizens in
general, made eloquent appeals for the
public's support in the building of the

the Northwestern National Life Insur-
ance company Of Minneapolis.
Mr.. Fayram briefly related the cir
cumstances under which Marion W..
Savage had been compelled to close
the International auditorium within a
few days after he had completed i'm
provements costing $4,000. It was
only by the grace of the city officials
that the club was able to give it's last
three concerts in the International
auditorium. Next year conditions
the Philharmonic and similar organ
izations was threatened by the alb
sence Of any, suitable place in which to
give their concerts. 1t was therefore
''up to" the public to support the pro-
posal made by the insurance company
and backed by the Commercial club.
Mr.. Harris said that the need for a
suitable music hall was beyond ques-
ton The investment of the 1000
persons in the audience in $1,000 in
surance each, would make up the
1000, 900 asked by the building COM
pany. If any question existed in the
mind Of any prospective subscriber as
to the insurance company which pro-
posed to build, he promised that the
policy in such case would be guaran-
teed by a surety company for two
years the contract period.

of obtaining money under false pre-

dianapolis as the representative Of
the U. S. Distilling company and I'm
derwriters, and is charged with swim
ding one man out of $500. He is also
charged with depositing a worthless
draft in one, of the banks and checking
rested he. left, shipping his trunk, a
big red affair, to Minneapolis.
The local police were notified and
Detectives Morrissey and Stavlo de-
tailed on the case. They learned
that the trunk had been shipped to
Minneapolis over the Milwaukee andea

Minneapolis water proper is from the
reservoir and is good enough for any one.
Water from either the West Side or the
East Side stations is diluted sewage, moth
ing more. and Is unsafe at all times. If
the people would keep these distinctions
clearly in mind they would be saved q
great deal OF unnecessary anxiety and
worry.
The School Problem.
"Healthful conditions are of the
very first Importance in the public
schools" said Judge D. F. Simpson
to a Journal man to-day. The
parents Of the city, I believe, almost
without exception, would place that at
the head of the list of requirements
of the public school system. The sys-
tenn fails to meet this expectation of
the public when it does not provide
water as pure as can be had for the
pupils to drink, and does not protect
against infection by proper methods
Of sweeping. The movement for pure
water, therefore, and that against dry
sweeping in the schools go hand in
hand. These are first essentials"
"A Taxpayers View.
This sentiment was echoed by sew
eral others who heard the Judge
speak. Voluntarily they said that as
taxpayers they would be perfectly
willing to see a saving made along
some other line in the schools in order
that pure water might be provided
