NEW DORMITORY TO BE
BUILT AT FARIBAULT
Addition to School for Blind VIII Be
Fireproof, Though Reduced in Size.

The state board Of control held a
conference yesterday with the board of
the Minnesota institute for detectives
at Faribault. and discussed plans for
the new dormitory to be built at Fari-
bault for the use of inmates of the
school for the blind.
To make the new building fireproof
some reduction in its size is necessary.
and the board of control has prac-
tically decided on reducing the capac-
ity from forty to about thirty inmates.
The amount of the appropriation by
the last legislature for the purpose is
$4,000, and to erect such a building
as the local board at Faribault desired
and to still make it fireproof would re-
quire an expenditure of from 81 900 to
$4,000 more than is available. The
Faribault board naturally disliked to
see a smaller building erected than
was originally contemplated, but the
state board deemed the necessity of
it's being fireproof paramount to its
size.
Benjamin B. Sheffield and Edgar H.
Lloyd, of Faribault, and George P.
Flannery, Of Minneapolis, were the
board members present, and accom-
panying them were Supts. j. N. Tate,
of the school for the deaf, and J. J.
Dow, of the school for the blind.

The seating of Wallace B. Douglas

next Tuesday at the state capitol will
be the occasion for quite an imposing
spectacle.
AS now planned, it is expected that
Gen. Douglas will take the oath of Of
fee before the full bench and bar at
the opening of the April term of the
supreme court.
Attorney General Douglas will cease
to have official connection with his Of
fee tonight, his resignation presented
to Gov. Van SAINT some months ago
being effective on this date. He will
not, however, assume the duties of his
position as justice of the supreme court
until the opening of the term Of court
next Tuesday. On that day at 10
o'clock Mr.. Douglas will present his
commission, and, in the presence of
the other three justices and the bar,
Chief Justice Start will administer the
oath of Office to the new incumbent.
The spectators will stand during the
impressive ceremony, and lawyers from

SODlNI is BARRED
Will Not Be Permitted to Con-
duct Local Concert Hall.

The Tivoli concert hall and bar
Bridge Square, will not be conducted
by J. G. Sodini, because Chief of Police
J. ]. O'Connor negatived any such
scheme before Sodini could make a
move to take possession Charles Roy
is the new proprietor.
A, week ago the chief of police learn
ed that Sodini, who has conducted
places of alleged questionable charac-
ter in Minneapolis, was negotiating for
the purchase Of the Tivoli from Anton
Weinholzer. The men were sent for
and told by the chief that it would be
useless to consummate the deal, as
Sodini would not be permitted to con-
duct the business.
But Weinholzer had received a part
of the purchase money and refused to
release Sodini. Chief O'Connor at
once ordered License Inspector Jess
rang to prepare and file a protest
against the transfer of the WeinholZer
license to Sodini. This was done, but
will not be used, as Sodini, realizing
that it would be useless to contest with
the chief, sold the place to Charles Roy,
of Spokane, Wash. Roy Is not known
to the police, but promises that he will
conduct the business in respectable
manner. Roy has made application for
the transfer of the license.
