DISPENSARY IN U. S. COURT.
Petition In Union Case Dismissed-An.
other Hearing November 10th.

The argument in Asheville of the
South Carolina D~ispensary csse, in
which j. G. Howell, of Union, S. c.,
seeks to compel the board of control of
Union county to allow him to reopen
the dispensary in Union by claiming
that the Brice Bill, under which the
election which resulted in the ~dispensary
being closed, is unconstitutional, came
to an abrupt end on Tuesday before the
merits of the case were reached. Judge
Pritchard, in Asheville, on his own mo-
ton, raised the point that the relief de-
manded-a mandamus-would be i'm
proper in any event, that writ being
used only to enforce the decree of the
court, and after a brief argument he
dismissed the petition withoutprejudice.
Immediately thereafter, on motion of
HowelPs attorneys, the court issued a
rule to show cause why a mandatory
injunction should not be granted directed
against the same defendants and in ia
vor of the same complainant. The
hearing was set for November goth be-
fore Judge Pritchard, at Richmond.

BORROWS CHILDREN TO
WIRING AID FROM CITY

Discoveries Of fraud and deception
on the part of persons who seek aid are
not infrequent in the city poor depart
ment, but until today, a casesof4a wom-
ans borrowing. children to wiring as
sistance from the city, was without
precedent.
A few days ago Polish woman from
the Northeast Side appeared at the
Offices Of the poor department in quest
Of clothing and provisions for herself
and seven or eight children. She said
they were left absolutely destitute -
a cruel husband. Her tale Of poverty
and desertion touched the heart Of the
officials, hardened as they are to such
stories, and they believed her. worthy
But, according to law, made necessary
by frequent deception, an investigation
must needs be made before aid could be
extended.
AS is customary, an agent was sent
to the home Of the woman. He found
the seven or eight children all right
but some had light eyes and faxen hair
others were brunettes, and characters
tics of several different races were OBJ
served in the aggregation of spinched
faces. The agent soon learned that the
woman had but one child. The others
had been lent to her by kind neighbors

GRADE CROSSING PLAN
MILWAUKEE, AND NORTHERN PA
CIFIC MEET CITY's ULTIMATUM,
BUT BIG WORK IS YET TO COME.

Preliminary plans for eliminating
grade crossings in South Minneapolis
were submitted by the Milwaukee and
Northern Pacific roads to the council s
special committee on grade crossings
this afternoon. AS both companies have
met the ultimatum Of the city demand
ing that the tracks be elevated to such
room under the tracks and maximum
cut in University avenue, Oak street
and Washington avenue Sc of seven
feet, there remains little for the alder
men to do except to approve the plans.
The big work is yet to come. 1t is
assumed that the railway companies
bear the expense of the bridges and
raising the tracks, but it is suspected
that the railways will object to assum-
streets and the much greater expense
for damages to adjacent property by
raising the tracks and lowering the
streets. The owners Of the many fac
tories and industrial plants located on
the railroad right ht-of-way and depend
ing on the railways for trackage facili-
ties have frequently announced their
intention of demanding the fullest com
pensation for damage to their property
necessary to retain trackage facilities
When the Great Northern tracks and
| bridges on the East Side were lowered
| the city took upon itself the expense
| of providing the approaches and rails.
ing the buildings and other improve
ments to the new grade. 1t cost big
sum of money. The aldermen arc
! hardly in mood at this time to act
with equal generosity and many are
| inclined to force the railways to take
the burden upon their shoulders. It is
not believed that it will be possible tc
avoid long and costly litigation.

LALLY DENIES BOYCOTT
PRESIDENT OF RETAIL LIQUOR
DEALERS SAYS HE KNOWS OF
NO SUCH THREAT.

Thomas .Lally, president of the Retail
Dealers association, denied today that
the saloon interests, in circulating their
petitions asking the revocation Of
Mayor J ones Sunday closing order, are
threatening to boycott firms and estab
lishments which refuse to sign.
II have not heard Of any such
thing,' said Mr.. Lally, to Journal
reporter. "We intend to exhaust every
legitimate means to secure our rights.
When that is done, I cannot say what
will follow. But [ know nothing about
any threatened boycott.
~ think the Sunday closing law is
all in favor Of the man with means, -
said Mr.. Lally replying to the remarks
Of DR.. L. IT, Guild at Wesley church
Sunday evening. He can order liquor
sent to his house or to his. room, but
what of his brother citizen with 10
cents denied warm place of shelter
and the right to partake of his liquor so
long as he does not interfere with the
rights of others? He is Disseminated
against, and he feels it. He is not made
better man by saying to him: you 're
poor fellow who doesn It know how to
take care of your money. We'll fix it
so you can It spend your money the way
you please.
'"This sort of talk arouses a spirit OF
opposition, of bitterness in man. It is
the old business Of trying to coerce 9
man into thinking as you do, which has
failed ever since the world started.''

TEACHERS DON'T WANT
CHILDREN ON STAGE

Formal protest against the appear
ance of children under l6 years Of age
on the state of the Unique theater will
be made to State Labor Commissioner
Williams by the principals Of Mime
apolis public grade schools. The al
legged custom of permitting children to
take part in amateur theatrical per-
formances was presented to the princi-
pals at their meeting yesterday by an
agent of the state labor bureau. He de-
plored the practice and the sentiment
of THE principals that formal protest
should be made was unanimous.
A letter will be written to Mr.. Will
iams, and as it is thought that the
action of the educators was inspired by
his department, will doubtlessly result
in an ultimatum to the theater man
ayers to bar children under 16 Kears
Of age from their stage. No othe i'm
portant action was taken at the prin-
cipals meeting.

Thanksgiving proclamation. 1t follows
conventional lines except for its refer

as follows:

day of thanksgiving,
Now, therefore, pursuant to an es-
tablished custom, /, John A. johnson,
governor of Minnesota, do request that
said day be observed thruout the state
as Thanksgiving day.
The past year has been one of great
prosperity. The nation is at peace with
the world. Thruout the entire country
there is an awakening of the people and
| quickening of the public conscience
which is making for better citizenship
and better government. In our own
state we have abundant cause for re-
loicing and general Thanksgiving. Never
have our fields and mines been SC
bountiful in their products, and in all
that tends to material wealth our peo-
pie have been enriched in greater de-
| gree than ever before. Labor in all
! departments of human endeavor has
| been generously rewarded and it's eff.
forts have been crowned with deserved
success. For all these bounties / would
earnestly recommend that on Thanks
| giving day our people abstain from
| their usual avocations and, meeting in
their regular places of worship, join
in general thanksgiving to the Divine
Author of all our blessings and invoke
the continuance of his favor.

STRAIN AFFECTS
BRENNAN'S MIND
FATHER OF MURDERED CHILDREN
IN SERIOUS CONDITION.
Man Bereaved by Shocking Tragedy
Shows Effects of Severe Shock and
Persists in Haunting Blood Stained
Room in Spite of Protestations of
Brother and Friends.

Friends of James Brennan, father of
the three children murdered in their
beds at 1922 Fifth avenue N Friday
night, have asked the police to keep
careful watch over him. as they fear
he will become violent thru his grief
and the shock of the tragedy.
Last night, in spite Of the protests
of his brother and friends, Brennan
went to his home in dazed condition
and lay down on the blood-stained bed,
where the three little victims of the
conscious condition he lay there for
several hours until his groans attracted
w. G. Farmer, who lives in the rooms
below. Mr.. Farmer tried to persuade
Brennan to leave the place, but he re-
fused and could give no ineligible an
swers to questions.
Later Mr.. Farmer notified the broth
er, Martin Brennan, who, with several
members ofsthe salvage corps, went to
the house and took the grief-stricken
man out by main force.
After that Brennan accompanied his
friends downtown, but refused to go to
bed at the Salvage corps building, and
wandered about the city during the
night trying to walk off his nervousness:
Martin Brennan says his brother has
not slept in bed since the murder, and
he fears that the terrible mental strain
may make him a wreck. =
Detectives detailed on the case have
tried to get a line on the: case from
Brennan, but he seems to be speechless
and so far has said nothing. He has
not yet identified the revolver found in
the house as his own, altho he says it
looks like one he bought. He pur,
chased a revolver some time before the
tragedy he says, but brought it home
and put it away without looking at it.
To all other questions he remains silent
and he will give no testimony against
his wife. 4, ..-,s1 :.s..z,-...... -
New developments have crept into
the. case in the last two days, but the
police refuse to make them public. The
coroner's inquest will be held tomorrow
and even at that time only the neces
sary testimony to show the probable
cause Of death will be introduced. The
inquest will be called at 10 o'clock to
morrow morning. r..-.

Dr. Clarence B. Strouse was this

EXHIBITED HIS WORKSHOP
THAT Is WHAT REV. FAYETTE L.
THOMPSON SAYS OF PROFESSOR
H. G. MITCHELL. RI -,

The board Of bishops of the Method
ist Episcopal church, at it's meeting at
Philadelphia last week, turned down the
appointment Of Professor Hinckley u.
Mitchell to the chair of Hebrew and
Old Testament criticism at the Boston
school Of theology. The appointment
of Professor Mitchell was disapproved
a year ago, but this was merely pre-.
lininary. The recent action is final
and the Boston school will have to find
an orthodox successor. Discussing the
Mitchell case, Rev. @Fayette &L.eThomp-
son, pastor Of Hennepin Avenue church,
said:
"The action in Professor Mitchell e
case was a surprise. The preliminary
action year ago was caused by Bishop
Joyce and it was predicted that, with
his removal from the board by death
Professor Mitchell's appointment would
be confirmed. But he, has been dis
approved by unanimous vote.
"Professor Mitchell's mistake,
Think has been that he was much in
clined to exhibit his workshop to his
students. He emphasized the. things he
Eupon rather than those things he was
sure of. His tendency, I sshould say
is toward occultism. His specific vary
ing from the doctrines Of the churcl
Law in his surrender Of the authority
of the Scriptures. In this respect HI
became traditionalist. He also prac
tically disputed the divinity Of Jesu
Christi Ut
DR.. Thompson s attention was calle,
also to the report that Professor Ter
ry of Northwestern was likely to b
called up for book he is alleged t.
have written, entitled, "The Shortcom
ings of jesus 5g

ten book Of that title. I do no
think the two men are to be placed i
the same category as theologians Pre-
