NEARLY A SCORE
HAVE TAXES ABATED.
Board Grants Applications Of
Those Who Show Suf-
ficlent Cause


James K Humphrey, for a long num-
Der Of years q citizen of st. Paul, was
Yesterday granted the boon that he de-
sired, a personal property tax of IS
against him being rebated. This, it was
stated for Mr.. Humphrey, is the last
claim outstanding against him, and he
Will therefore be able to carry out his
earnest desire to be square with the
state, county and city if the final call
should come at any time.
Some time agozMr. Humphrey ap-
pealed to the county commissioners
and secured from them a settlement
OF all judgments against him for taxes
for $40, it being pointed out that he
was not possessed of property, and that
therefore the county was receiving this
amount that would no otherwise be
secured. But the 1903 tax could not
be settled by the commissioners, and
Mr.. Humphrey made h successful ap-
peal to the board Of batement.
James e. Dore told a story Of his
experience with a worthless mortgage,
and upon his showing that he had sat-
dsfed the instrument on record with
out compensation, he was granted the
abatement of taxes, amounting to S22.
Flora r. Erritt, who desired to have
the assessment of certain real estate
lowered from SO, 200 to $4,000 met with
a refusal, it being reported by the as
SCISSOR that the property had been sold
since the application was fled for more
than the assessed valuation. The APP
plication was acted upon adversely for
the reason stated.
The Manhattan Life Insurance COM
pany pleaded strongly tina it should
not be assessed for the Office furniture
in the local Offices, but the recon-
mendation of the assessor that the as
seSsment stand was acted upon favor
ably. It was the contention of the COM
pany that the furniture is owned by
the agent.
Harry T. Drake asked for and was
refused abatement ON a number of
pieces of property, and Sophia W..
Hammond met with like refusal. The
assessor commended that the assess,
ments were just, as compared with
that on other property in the same
neighborhoods, and his recommended
tions were indorsed.
The attachments ordered were: Lena
Kissel, $3.50; May F. Dawson. accord

WHITMAN INPULPlT
Former State SenatoraadMay.
OF of Duluth as a Preacher

Walter j. Lewis Jr., an official of the
Louisville e Nashville at@Chicago, was
a visitor in st. Paul yesterday. Mr..
Lewis told an interesting story con-
corning Alonzo T. Whiteman, the for
mer state senator from st. Louis coun-
ty, Minnesota WHIP is at present a
prisoner in st. louis, Mo-, charged
with forgery on several counts.
"Whiteman has been under arrest
dozens Of times" said Lewis, but so
far I think he has never been convict
ed. The charges against him nave run
all theaway from misapplication of a.
few hundred dollars to forgery in
which many thousands were involved.
When I was in Buffalo, N. Y, in
1901, took a trip to Evansville, a small
place not far away, and Sunday morn
ing I attended the Methodist church
services. Z
4 was in company with two women
and when 1 took my seat I noticed
something familiar about the face and
mannerisms of the man behind the
pulpit. I said nothing for a while, but
finally when he began to speakI leaned
over and said to one of the women
You preacher looks to me very much
like a man I one knew, who had
a penchant for getting in Jail"
How interesting replied the wom-
an, but of course it could not be Mr..
Whiteman, for he is such an earnest
Christian and does so much good by
his work.
Il explained hat the man I knew
was named Wshiteman and had been
state senator and mayors of Duluth and
several other things.
1.-THE woman decided hat the jail
bird, Of course was not her Mr.. White
man-probably a second cousin or
something of that sort.
Later in the day 1 came Upon Vile
nan and spoke to- him OF Duluth and
Chicago. and We hadsquite a nice little
chat. He said he was preaching dur
ing the summer because of a sudden
call he felt to labor in that way in the
vineyard.
HE did not enjoin silence upon me.
but seemed to take it for granted that
I would say nothing to p~recipitate any
thing unpleasant. He is n of the
most plausible speakers I ever heard
and during that sumner he undoubt-
edly did a large amount of good. The
following fall, however, I understand
he was pinched onssome serious charge

FILES SNAPPY KICK
Mcclure Says Competitor Car.
vassed i'm Schools

j.. F. Mcclure, in a letter to the board
of school inspectors, read at the meet
ing last evening, charged that an agent
of The Educational Publishing Com
pany of Minneapolis had been admitted
to. the Central high school and had sold
to the pupils a large number of instru-
ments used in drawing. Mr.. Mcclure
said that in common with other dealers
in the line he desired to protest against
the teachers allowing concerns to ex-
hibit their wares for sale in the school
buildings, and stated that he felt sure
that it would be conceded that ST. Paul
concerns would not be accorded such
an unusual courtesy in the Minneapolis
schools.
Prof. Weitbrecht, principal of the
Mechanic Arts high school, had heard
that the Charge applied to his school,
instead of the Central, and he sent in
acoustic reply, in which he formally
denied the accusations in behalf of
Messrs. Voelke and Bohn and on his
own part, and proceeded:
Neither have the sidewalks. curb
stones or streets of this sacred city
been desecrated@ by dealers in the way
or selling drawing instruments to: the
students of the Mechanic Arts. I re-
quest that the gentleman making the
accusations be asked to come forward
and prove them, and If not capable of
proof to apologize for the misstate-
ments."
Supt. Smith explained that the Incl
dent occurred through the action Of r.
e. Stanton, the new instructor of me-
chanical drawing at the Central high
school, who had innocently permitted
the agent to solicit sales from the pu-
pills. As. soon asHthe superintendent
had heard of the matter he had seer
that 1t Was stopped and assured the
board that nothing of the kind will oc-
cur in the future.
1T is not right to blame Stanton too
severely, because the rule of the board
not allowing book agents to solicit in
the school buildings is often violated"
explained Supt. Smith. HE was mere
Jy following what he thought to be a
custom, it being well known that the
teachers do not make it a practice to
shut out book agents."

Supt. Smith felt sure that such was
not the case, although he said that
such a thing was possible. Mr.. Egan
thought the teachers should be given
to understand that they are not to per-

Inspector Lindahl believed that the
book agents should also be barred.
1t was decided to file the Mcclure

THEIR TAXES ABATfD
Two Applicants Relieved, but
Paralysis No Excuse

The, county board of abatement yes
terday decided that it would not en-
force the tax levied upon Mrs. Mathil-
da Moberg, amounting to $3.50, ac-
cepting the explanation that the
amount had been received from an in
surance policy ,heId. by her husband.
Most of the money, it was represent
ed, had been spent in. supporting and
educating the children, and that
therefore it would be unjust to compel
h widow to pay a tax. On the show
ing, the entire amount OF the tax was
abated.
william Beriandi applied to the
board for the abatement Of his taxes,
explaining that he is afflicted with
paralysis n will be unable to make
payment. 1t vas held by the board
that such. d condition Is o a ground
for abatement.
Emile Rcchat pleaded that for sew
eral years he had been paying taxes
on a piece Of property used as an al
ley, n that as the ten-foot strip has
been dedicated to such use, asked that
S2S5.41 that he has paid be returned
to him. Favorable action was taken
upon his application.

EXTENDS SCOPE OF
MOURNING SCHEDULE
School Board Allows Half Time
to Teachers for Relatives
Funerals

The board Of education last night
demonstrated that it has recovered
from the ridicule M criticism Incl
dent to a recent effort to pass a resoIu-
ton fixing a mourning schedule for
teachers in the public schools. Putting
aside the regulations and p-eambles
suggested by Stpt. Smith, the board
adopted a straight1out declaration tina
the death of a relative of a teacher
shall entit1e the teacher to a leave OF
absence for five days with. half pay.
This decision was rushed through
without public discussion, it having
been considered at length in the secret
session that preceded the open meet
ing. The rules being suspended, the
resolution passed without an opposing
vote. AS it stands on the record there
are two amendments to the resolution,
these being made noticeable by words
in parenthesis, which were stricken
out:
Text of Resolution
1.-THE committee on schools mayrau-
thorize payment of ene-half of the SAL
airy for the time of such absence, when
caused by personal illness or death of
a relative (some member of the abb
sentee's family; provided. that such
absence does not, in any one school
year exceed twenty school days; and,
provided further, that the absence Of
a teacher because Of the death of a rel
ative Gone member of the tamily) does
o exceed five days."
The mutilated form in which the re-
port of the superintendent came from
the committee showed that there had
been considerable discussion as to the
best method of disposing of the ques-
ton as to the time to be allowed the
mourners. In each instance the word
relative. is substituted for member
Of family" it having been argued that
the word family did not fully express
what was meant by the board.
Extends Limits of Ruling
CAS- agreed upon, explained .Supt,
Smith, the leave of absence permits
sion is extended to relatives Of affinity
n consanguinity-of blood and Of
| marriage. 1t was considered that the
word family would include only those
residing under a common roof, thus
leaving the provision too narrow"
The members of the board were not
willing to discuss the provision, merely
saying that it was necessary to make
some definite arrangement whereby the
term of the leave of absence because
of death should be definitely fixed.

TIME GONE TO THE DOGS.

There are in Manhattan alone
among families of the better sort fully
1000 dogs, which require to be exer-
cised at least three times day. A
low average would be twenty minutes
each trip. That would give 1000 hours
daily gone to the dogs, or eighty-three
and one-third days. This makes q
grand total of So years 121 days and
16 hours devoted to the dog in the
course of one year in Manhattan alone.
The figures for Brooklyn should add
at least forty years to this total, and
the Bronx another ten years, the low
figures in these boroughsl being due
to the fact that land is more plentiful
and many Of the dogs are given the
run of a yard. and so acquire exer-
