still attracting large crowds of pur-
ehasers. This sale is nearing it's
close and those of our readers who
have not purchased what goods they

THE LAW STAYS
HIS NINE COWS
SMALL DAIRYMAN'S ENTIRE
STOCK is KILLED.
Sole Means of Livelihood Taken from
Samuel u. Plumb After Test
Which He and His Neighbors Say
Was Unfair-Only Small Remuner-
alton offered.

Nine blooded Jersey cows, the sole
means of livelihood Of Samuel L..
Plumb, 1929 Lyndale avenue S, a
small dairyman, We're slain by the or
ders of the health department yester-
day. The cows We're a picked herd
chosen after fifteen years of careful
selection.
On Friday the Inspector made his
appearance and injected tuberculine
and took the temperature. Next day
he returned and found the tempera-
ture had risen two degrees, which, ac-
cording to the test, means that the
cows have tuberculosis. Yesterday the
cows were killed.
Protesting until the end, Mr.. Plumb
declared that the test had been UNI
fair. Many neighbors agree with Mr..
Plumb, and say that another test
perature of the weather Saturday was
twenty degrees higher than the day
on which the tuberculine was injected
and when the temperature of the cows
was taken they were in barn,
where the thermometer stood over
spector refused to allow the COWS to
be taken outside of the stables, and
that, when the examination was made
after the COWS were killed, the results
were not made public.
The loss is not a total one, as ap-
health department, one by Mr.. Plumb
+ and one by the first two appraisers.
The highest appraisement allowed by
the state is $35 for each COW, and
whatever sum is arrived at the dairy
man is allowed three-quarters Of that.
This is not much satisfaction to Mr..
Plumb, as the COW of lowest value
was worth something more than $50
and the best COW was valued at more
| than 500.

BAD CONSCIENCE
WORRIED THIEF
Carl Shefstead Seeks Arrest Ac-
knowledging Theft Com
mitted in Norway.

Because his conscience ever worried
him, Carl Shefstead, 20 years old,
gave himself up to Patrolnaan Nels
Nelson yesterday, telling him that he
had stolen 5000 crowns from his en-
ployer in Norway and hated the
thought Of being a fugitive. Shefstead
says he had good position as clerk
in a wholesale tobacco house and had
many opportunities to take money but
did not yield to the temptation until
sixteen months ago. He began col
lecting money from the customers and
failing to turn it over to his employ
ers. He did this until he thought he
was suspected, and then taking the
money, which amounted to about
$1,150, he started for America.
= Arriving in this country, he went
directly to Duluth, where he fell in
with bad company and spent the
money. Three months ago he came
to Minneapolis, and since that time
has lived by begging on the streets.
He told his story in police court this
morning, and Judge Dickinson de-
cided to hold him on a vagrancy
charge for few days until the officers
could verify or disprove his story. He
does not act like a demented person
and most of the officers. think he is
telling the truth

.KNOTTY POINTS
FOR EQUALIzERs
MINORS ARBITRARY ASSESS.
MENTs DIsPLEAsE SOME.
Storage Warehouse Proprietors Think
Themselves Justified in Refusing
Information to Assessors Sewing
Machine Concern Enters Objections
Cases were Taken Under Advise
ment by Board.

Several interesting controversies
were started before the city board Of
equalization this morning by concerns
which object to the arbitrary as
sessments Of G. j. Minor, the city
assessor. Unless they have their way,
they announce their purpose to fight
the matter in the courts and to carry
the matter to the supreme court if
necessary. The Realty Warehouse
company and the Produce Refrigerat-
ing company are willing to pay taxes
on their personal property, but refuse
to pay on the goods held in their
warehouses for storage.
This attitude reopens a rather deli
| cate matter. When the Produce Re
| frigerating company made a return
of personal property to the value of
! $1,000, the city assessor refused to
/ accept the figures and sent his depu-
| ties to examine the contents of the
warehouse. The deputies were not
permitted to enter. Next a demand
was made for list Of patrons who
had property in the warehouse. This
information was refused promptly
Mr.. Minor then ordered an arbitrary
assessment on the Produce company
at 100000 and the Realty Warehouse
1 company at 100000.
Geogre G. Ripley and J. r. King
man appeared before the board this
| " pIoCSSI against the III
creased assessments. They quoted
from the law to show that consignees
were not required to disclose the
names of the owners of goods stored
| under their care. Mr.. Minor prompt
ly quoted from the law to show that
the assessor had right to enter any
premises in the city for the purpose
of examining the contents, which
right had been refused.
He criticized the action Of the COM
panies in sharp language and insisted
| that the effect thereof was to assist
their patrons in lodging taxation, as
undoubtedly many people took ad-
| vantage of the circumstances to evade
the payment of taxes. The equalizers
| discussed the question rather freely,
but were not prepared to decide the
| various points raised. They took the
| matter under Amusement.
Another interesting question was
raised by the Singer Manufacturing
company in a protest against having
| it's assessment raised from $4,000 to
| $4,000. The company has three
| branch stores in this city, but the
local representative declares that his
return is a fair one. He has not in
| cluded large number of machines
which are out on leases, which the
| assessor says should be assessed
| against the company, as the title has
not. been transferred. This matter
| was also taken under Amusement.

ART BUILDING WANTED
Limitations of Art School Make One Nee
esSary.

SSSdTys
Since music lovers have attained their
highest wish and the new auditorium Is
really being erected, the lovers Of art
in the city are beginning to think of an
art building. The art school is limited in
it's present quarters, and unless some
change is made before long, pupils will
have to be turned away Two depart
ments have had to be taken out of the
curriculum on account of lack Of space
those of artistic bookbinding and wood
engraving. Robert Koehler had hoped
that the new wing Of the library addition
would be devoted to the art school, but
the library board has taken a stand which
has made further expansion in the build"
ing impossible.
1t is the opinion Of those interested in
the project that the new building should
also be fitted for exhibitions, be located
in a downtown district. and be Of value
to the city from an architectural stand
point. 1t is estimated that such build
ing would cost 100000.

OZONE AND PURE WATER
Much Matter in Hand for Water Commits
sion to Consider.

Much Matter In Hand for Water Commits
sion to Consider.
Reading matter relating to the purifica-
ton Of water by ozone has been received
by DR.. P. M. Hall, commissioner Of
health. The matter includes official re-
ports from a scientific standpoint, on the
construction and results of the ozonizing
plants at Weisbaden, Breslau and Sch1er-
stein an Rhein and,a scientific treatise on
the. method by the big Siemens company.
The pure water commission, it is UNI
derstood, will give this matter careful at
tention and particularly will investigate
the method of producing ozone invented
by Joseph Wllford of this city. Mr.. Will
ford is now backed by a company of we'll
known citizens and expects to be able to
make experiments on scale to convince
the authorities that ozone can be pro~
duced at about one-ninth of the expense
in the German cities.
City Engineer Andrew Rinker left last
evening for Ashland to join Allen Hazen
Of New York. They will examine the
filter plants at the head of the lake. The
commissioners will reach Minneapolis
about next Monday. &s 81

CAN SPLIT PAYMENTS
State Benefits by Concession of Insurance
Companies.

The thirty odd insurance companies
which are writing the insurance on the
state institutions, have made conces-
sion to the board Of control which will
obviate the necessity of making loan
to meet the premiums
The amount of insurance to be written
on state buildings is $4,500,00O. The rate
granted calls for a total premium of $780,,
250. But the state board found it had
a fund of only $4,000 with which to meet
this expense. A consultation was held
with representatives of the insurance
companies which has resulted in permits
sion for the state to make two annual
payments at the rate of 621@ cents per
500 insurance, to cover the 81 500, 900 in
surante for the usual period of such in
surance-three years.
Thus the board will now make one pay
ment of $28,125, leaving a balance of SILL
S75 in the insurance fund. And before the
next payment of another S2S,125 is due,
the legislature can appropriate the adj
ditional SIS, $50 needed for the final pay
ment E..
