UNIVERSITY
NEW BOARD OF AUDIT
JOINT COMMITTEE PREPARES TO
CHECK UNIVERSITY PUBLICA-
TONS IN THEIR ACCOUNTS. O.

The faculty and student auditing
committee, consisting of five faculty
and four student members, and organ
lied according to vote Of the under
checking "graft' on university publ
cations and enterprises, met for the first
time at the university this afternoon.
Present were DR.. Schaper, Professor
Anderson, DR.. Lee, Professor Paige and
Dr.. Eddy Of the university faculty,
and three student members, Charles
Laing Of the engineering school, Rod
ney West of the academic college and
8. A. Dickinson of the law school. The
undergraduates were named by the
faculties of the different schools, and
will hold office until October, when the
first undergraduate election to places
OH the committee will be held. An I'M
dergradua.e member from the medical
school will also be named at that time.
At the meeting today a plan of cam
paign was outlined. The business man
ayers of the Daily, Gopher and Maya
zine were called in for consultation and
all agreed to strict system Of &C.
counting. The books Of these publica-
lions must show not only the cash TAX
en- in, but also the "trade ads,'' which
played such a prominent part in the
Gopher investigation last year.
The committee also decided to call a
meeting Of the undergraduates early
in October for the purpose Of electine
the four undergraduate members fol
the coming college year.

HAS THE DROP ON SALOONS
LOS ANGELES WILL NOT ALLOW
MORE THAN 200 IN CITY, WHICH
HELPS.

"Los Angeles thinks that it has the
saloon traffic under fairly good con
trol,' says F. B. Elberson of that city,
who is in Minneapolis on brief visit
80 The saloons are required to close
at midnight and to keep closed all day
Sunday, and both these provisions are
strictly enforced. Occasionally, of
course, there are violations, and occa-
sionally blind pigs are opened, but in
the main the business is we'll controlled.
The sentiment of the city is against
the Sunday saloon. Some of the sa.
loon men favor it and, of course, the
bartenders are with it to a man.
mot more than 200 saloons are per-
mitted in the city, and this limit has
been of great help to the authorities in
enforcing the law; A, license there is
issued during good behavior and costs
loses his license he is out of the bust
ness, as far as Los Angeles is concerned
and also out valuable asset. Not long
ago there were several applicants for
a license which had been revoked, and
it was thereupon put up at auction and
sold for $4,000.
II don It know how it came about
that the limit was placed at 200. There
have been several attempts to increase
it An the past ten years, but the city
council, backed bw public sentiment
has persistently refused to amend the
ordinance. There will be no change il
the wishes of the people are Consulted

RIGID RULES FOR
GIVING STATE AID.
OLSEN ALLOWS SCHOOLS UNTIL
Dec. l TO COMPLY.
All Requirements of Law Must Be Com
piled with, Including Proper Heating
and Ventilation-Plants Must Be Up
to-Date-State Aid Not Bonus, but
for improvements.

Schools thruout the state to secure
state aid must hereafter strictly live
up to the conditions of the law. So says
J. w. Olsen, superintendent OF public
instruction, in circular letter sent out
today to county superintendents and Of
fcers of semigraded and rura! schools
Mr.. Olsen asserts that state aid should
not be looked upon as bonus for OPP
Grating a school, but as an actual state
aid. to be used in improvements on
what the school could already afford;
in other words, that the school, local
financial allowance should not be de-
creased when the state aid is granted.
Mr.. Olsen's letter says, in part:
"Please note than all teachers in
these schools must hold state, not local,
certificates of the required grade for
the full school year of eight months.
Limited second-grade certificates are
not second grade certificates within the
meaning of the law, and do not comply
with the requirements, but conditional
certificates of either the first or the
second grade are sufficient.
"Proper heating, ventilation. out
houses, supplementary reading, library
additions, etc, must be provided before
Dec. 1, SO that the pupils may reap the
benefit for practically the entire school
wear; otherwise the aid cannot be
granted.
q ''Those in authority should make a
careful study of heating and ventila-
ton before installing a plant. Ade-
quate provision must be made for ad-
uniting fresh air from without in such
a manner that it can be properly heat
ed before it is thrown into circulate ion
in the schoolroom, and also for drawing
off the foul all. from near the floor, thr;,
shaft properly heated so as to create
a current for this purpose. If neces-
sary, some expert should be employed
to do this special work. These i'm
provements may seem costly, but the
theory Of our special aid laws is mani
testify to help districts that expend
large, but needed sums to improve their
schools.
thereafter county superintendent
will supply the data required by this
department with regard to buildings,
equipment, etc.

AUTHOR OF LAW
TO LEAD DEFENSE
SENATOR soMERvILLE TO HAN
DIE APPEAL PROCEEDINGS.
Attorney General Hopes to Have inner
itance Tax Law Upheld by Supreme
Court-Three Pending Gases, Involv-
ing 100000 in Taxes, to Be Joined
in One Issue.

It is probable that Senator George
Somerville, author of the inheritance
tax law now on the Minnesota statute
books, will be asked by the department
of the attorney general to lead the de-
Tense of the bill in the state supreme
court, where it is to have it's future
life or death provided for at the Octo
Der term.
There are three cases which will test
the law, the Ferguson estate in Ramsey
county, the John Martin estate in Hen
nepin county, and the V. Simpson estate
in Winona county. The attorney gen
eral will request at the opening of the
October term that these three cases,
which take up precisely the same IS
ues, be united in one case for argument
and decision, and that the matter be
submitted to the court early in the
term.
It is estimated by the attorney gen
eral that the tax due the state on these
three estates in question, if the law be
held valid, will exceed $200,000 and
that if the law is upheld, there are
taxes on other estates turnout Mime
sofa pending sufficient in the aggregate
to exceed the present deficiency in the
state revenue fund Of nearly half d
million dollars. For this reason every
effort will be made by the state autho-
tiles to carry the day; and also for
this season, it is probable that Senator
Somerville. being familiar with every
word of the measure and the reasons
for framing it as it is, is in the best
position to lead a legal, technical fight
in it's behalf.

ONION DAY THIS

STATE OFFICIALS CAN IMBIBE
NOURIsTIMENT BY BREATHING.
New System Carries Vaporized Foods to
the Various Offices Where None Of
the Occupants Is Ever Permitted to

Has Been Working Backward.

Odors of corned beef and cabbage,
with strong Whit of onions on the
side, are causing all kinds of trouble
to some officials at the new state cap
itol.
The trouble all comes from the cap
itol cafe kitchen. The ventilating fues,
instead of bringing in fresh air to Ger,
tain offices, carry along the doors of
dinner commingled in chop-suey style.
The dinner perfume was particularly
strong today in the Offices of the attor-
ney general and the insurance commits

scheme worked, the trouble was he
could not get his desk out Of the ether

If the officials cannot have the pres
ent nuisance done away with they
swear they will refuse to patronize the
capitol cafe and will get sweet revenge
at noon time by sitting at their venti-

ish of a little salt, inhale their dinners

ALICE ROOSEVELT
GETS RICH GIFTS
Has Nearly 100000 of Presents
from Princes and Potentates
.. of the Orient.
New York Sun Special Service.

New York Sun Special Service.
Washington, Sept. 23.-It is roughly
estimated that the presents which Miss
Alice Roosevelt has received from the
empress of China, the emperor of
Japan, the emperor Of Korea, the sui
tan Of Jolo and others in the far east,
will reach cash value not far short
of 100000.
Miss Roosevelt was placed in a po-
sition where she could not decline any
of the presents without giving offense.
The gifts came to her as the represent
ative of the government, altho she did
not travel with any such1ere credentials.
AS the daughter Of the president, she
was regarded by the orientals as they
regard the reigning families of Euro
pean kingdoms.
The gifts were tokens of friendship
and good will for the United States,
and Miss Roosevelt could not have de-
clined any, not even the pearl from
the sultan of Jolo, without placing this
government in the attitude of reject
ing friendly overtures.

CONFIRMS ERIE PURCHASE
PRESIDENT UNDERWOOD VISIT
TO CITY COMEDIES WITH DEAL
FOR PERE MARQUETTE.

With the arrival in the twin cities
of President Frederick D. Underwood,
comes further confirmation of the ac-
QUESTION by the Erie system of con-
trolling interest in the Great Central
or G. H. & D. and Pere Marquette. The
effect of this railroad deal on north
west rates and traffic may be wide
spread.
The extension can only be a benefit
to the twin cities and the shippers of
the entire northwest. The Erie sys-
tenn will be brought in closer touch
with the business interests Of the north
west, and it is believed that consid-
cradle improvement in service and at
tention can be expected. Heretofore
the Erie has paid much attention to
the local field thru it's connections, but
the recently announced extension will
place it in a position to take large
part in northwestern railroad affairs.
Mr.. Underwood was in st. Paul the
early part of the day. With him are
Mrs Underwood and j. L. Greatsinger
formerly an elevatedroad magnate OF
2 Greater New York and well known in
the twin cities.
Winchell Here Inspecting.
The visit of President B. L. Winchell
and other Rock Island officials yester-
day was to examine the track and
terminals. Mr.. Winchell has not been
in the twin cities for year and was
making an inspection, especially of
bridges and culverts, which have re,
placed old ones on the line from Albert
Lea to Newport this season. The party
left the city last night.

KELLY ACQUITTED
Could Not Be Proved Responsible for
Gambling.

William Kelly, proprietor Of the Dime
Museum, who was charged with willfully
allowing gambling games to be carried on
in his place, was discharged by Judge E.
F. Waite in police court yesterday after
noon.
Kelly did not deny that certain persons
Eambled there. but said that he did not
sanction it, He had rented space to a
nan named Louis Rosenberg, who wanted
70 operate a jewelry game. This man.
Kelly says, betrayed his trust and started
a gambling game.
The states evidence was not conclusive
and Judge Waite had to depend almost
entirely on Kelly's own statements fol
