THE REPORT is SILLY
So Says Attorney General of
Story About Omnibus Bill

A sensational story in a morning
newspaper to the effect that the omni-
BUS appropriation bill, passed by the
last legislature. is invalid because it
gives authority to the governor, state
auditor and state treasurer to nego-
tate loans from banks in excess of
constitutional limitations, brought an
emphatic denial from Atty. Gen. E. T.
Young yesterday.
The report is so silly that it scarcely
needs denial from me-" said the attor-
ney general. There has been law on
the statute books such as is included
In the general omnibus appropriation
law for twenty years. The law this
year is somewhat more explicit in its
terms as to the authority of the proper
state officers to borrow money to re-
plenish the state revenue fund il il is
found necessary to do this. than the old
law, but any question of the uncon-
sttutionality of the law is mere idle
conjecture"
Senator A. B. Cole of Fergus Falls.
who was at the capitol yesterday, ex-
pressed the fear that an extra session
would be necessary to correct the re-
ported error made by the law, but the
explanation of the attorney general

BIGELOW HOME Goes
Defaultinq Banker Refuses to
Remain There Longer

MILWAUKEE, Wis, April 2S.-Bit-
terness was added to his already over
fioWlng cup today when Frank G. Bige-
low, the defaulting banker, was obliged
to leave his palatial home on Astor
street, the Bigelow homestead having
been taken possession of by the Wis
consin Trust and Security company as
receiver for the Bigelow estate. Mr..
Blgelow and his family, taking little
save their personal effects, went TO the
nome of his son, Gordon Bigelow, 4O9
Marshall street, where they will make
their home for the time being A pa
thetlc feature of the case as told by
one of the bank officials is that Mr..
Blgelow was given permission under
certain conditions to remain in the
house, but he declined, saying it was
no place for him now
The supplementary schedule of liza
bllitles and assets to Mr.. Bigelow's pc
ution in bankruptcy will probably not
be filed before week or ten days Mr.
Bigelow did most of his private busi-
ness from memory and II is this con-
dition that is delaying the completion
OF the schedule. No action has been
taken yet by the heirs of the Brodhead
estate looking to the removal of Bige-
low as trustee
1t is said that Judge Carter in the
circuit court will take steps within a
snort time 10 remove B1geloW from the
various trusts which he holds by rea-
son of testatory appointment. Oppor-
tunity will be given the ex-bank presi-
dent to resign from these positions and
If he does not do so the court will re-
move him. Mr.. Bigelow acknowledged
today that he owed the Brodhead es-
tate not to exceed $4,000, in addition
to the 100000 in the list of unsecured
creditors. The resignation of Mr.. Bige-

PROPOSE TO EVADF
BUCKET SHOP Law
Commission Men Evolve a
Scheme to Get Around the
Erickson Measure

Grain and stock commission men
operating branch Offices throughout
Minnesota have evolved a scheme to
evade the provisions of the Erickson
law prohibiting the operation of bucket
shops. Heretofore trades have been
made and closed at the branch offices.
This was unquestionably "bucketing'
the trades.
Under the new plan agents of the
commission houses will be designated
simply as telegraph operators, and
they have authority only to accept
payment OF money on trade, trans
mtting the cash to the main place of
business of the company, which RENTS
the profits of the trade, if the trans
action proves to be profitable to the
customer. Nearly all the larger houses
are members OF the same board of
trade or chamber of commerce, and so
long as the trades are made directly
through them it is contended that II is
a legitimate transaction.
r. H. McGaffrey of Fergus Falls,
who was at the Merchants hotel yes
terday, details the plan by which the
commission men expect to continue in
business without running counter TO
the Erickson law forbidding the opera
ton of bucket shops in the state He
says that money Will pass between the
customer and the agent of the COM
mission house, but it will be sent TO
the house at once, and the details of
the trade will be transacted by wire.
The local agent disclaims all RESPONSE
bility for profit or loss and simply tel
egraphs to his house the order left
with him by the firms customer Emil
nent legal advice, Mr.. McGaffrey says,
has been secured by the commission
men, and good lawyers agree that this
procedure will not be a violation of
the Erickson law.
The law does not become effective
until June 1, but the commission men
have already inaugurated the plan
that they believe will permit them TO
continue in business without running
afoul of the provisions of the anti

HORSE DOES STUNTS
Runaway Animal Climbs to
Second Floor and Back

A wild scene was enacted at Prior
and University avenues late yesterday
afternoon when horse owned by Bar
rett & Zimmerman, driven by George
Dean, ran away in front of the Bruce
building, Prior avenue.
The horse was hitched to a light
buggy, which crashed against a lamp
post, swapping the shafts. Freed from
the buggy the horse turned in a circle
and headed straight for the main en-
trance of the Bruce building, which
faces Prior avenue. Pedestrians scat
tered in all directions, but the horse
continued its mad flight and dashed
into the doorway and up the front
stairs. A hallway runs through the
second floor of the building to the rear
connecting with flight of back stairs.
On reaching the second landing the
horse galloped through the hallway
frightening the tenants of the building
and dashed out the back door, clat-
tered down the rear steps into an in
closed yard.
BY this time a riot call had been
turned into the Prior avenue police
station and a squad of bluecoats were
hurried to the scene. When the police
men arrived with drawn clubs the
horse was quietly cropping the grass in
the rear of the building and looked up
in astonishment when the large crowd
which had gathered approached him.
