AUTO CARN|VALS
WERE SUCCESSFUL
Owners Satisfied With Or
monde and Cuban Meets.

NEW YORK, Feb. 25-Returning auto
naobilists from the winter racing earTli-
vals at Ormonde Beach and Cuba. have
been arriving in this city for the past
week and with hardly an exception have
brought enthusiastic reports OF the rae
ing and incidentally the motor boat con-
test on Lake Worth.
They are a unit in agreeing on the sue
cess of the meet on the Florida east
coast, and also speak in terms of praise
of the Cuban carnival making allow
ance for the fact that II was the first
attempt Of the kind on the island re-
public, and. under the circumstances,
was conducted with considerable sue
cess. There are those VINO claim that If
credit is to be awarded for the better
conducted affair OF the two the palm
would go to the Cuban course, despite
the advantages of the Ormonde-Daytona
beach over the narrow road course upon
which the Cuban races were held
Beach Meets Not Perfect.
The conversation of the returned auto
lists from the South either as actual
competitors or merely spectators lead
10 the opinion that Notwithstanding the
natural advantages of the ocean beach
course, much was wanting in the way OF
a perfect carrying out OF the race pro-
gram.
With hardly an exception the answer
is an affirmative one when the question
is asked if they will be in attendance at
the meets next winter. One of the ar
rivals from the races said In speaking
upon the subject: The sports gained
much in popularity during the past
month and I expect that next winter
will see a revival of the meets both at
Ormonde and Havanas on even larger
and more successful lines than those OF
1905. / cannot De truthfully said that
there were not details lacking at both
courses, but despite these and the un-
fortunate accidents, their meets We're a
success. Next winter viii witness more

CHECK DATED AHEAD
Kane Holds 1t No Basis for
Criminal Action

Holding that a check dated a dag
ahead is in effect a promissory note,
County Attorney Kane has refused to
issue a warrant for the arrest of a
man giving the name of Edward AM
derson, who passed such paper on q
local clothing dealer in payment for
coat and failed to meet the check
when it was presented.
The police endeayored to have the
warrant issued, but the county attor-
ney declared that he could not comply
with their demand. He said that the
supreme court has decided that a per-
son who receives check dated ahead
has remedy in a civil action on the
promise to pay, and that the person
passing the check cannot be prose-
cuted criminaIly.
Anderson purchased from the deal
er an overcoat, the price of which was
,$35.. He rendered a check dated a day
ahead and it was accepted. When
the check was presented at the bank it
was returned, and the dealer applied
to the police. They took up the case
with the county attorney. who said he
could not cause the arrest of Ander-
son.

PIN IN Her APPENDIX
Dr.. Sweetser Finds One Inside
of q Patient

That the vogue Of appendicitis is due
to woman's fondness for holding bins
in her mouth would be an unscientific
conclusion to draw from a paper read
last night at the Commercial club
rooms before the Minnesota Academy
Of Medicine by Dr. H. b. Sweetsers of
Minneapolis. Dr. Sweetser presented
with the paper a pin, no longer bright,
that had remained some weeks in the
appendix of one of his patients. Since
she had lost both pin and appendix she
has regained her health. 80
DR.. Sweetser laid no stress upon the
pin. Many women, he said, had swal-
lowed many pins and failed to acquire
the complaint of high society. Other
women and men succeeded admirably
without the help of pins. But if one
must take pins he suggested ii. should
be in moderation.

Spine. Other papers were submitted

whether this amount should be turned

Big APPROPRIATION
IS CALMLY PASSED
New Members Show No Nerv-
BUSINESS in Discussing
the Amount

-
The members of the state legislature
yesterday demonstrated their watch
fulness of personal interest when the
first bill to pass both houses was Sen
ate File No. 1, introduced by Senator
r. B. Brewer, of Stearns, in the senate.
providing for an appropriation of $780,
600 for legislative expenses for the leg
islature of 1905.
The bill was presented to the house
by Secretary S. A. Langum, of the
senate, and was given its second and
third reading and put on it's final pas
sage. Naturally, no one objected to
the suspension of the rules, and there
was not negative vote against the
measure.
The house was in session but half
hour, Independent of the joint conven-
ton to hear the governors messag es.
The report of the committee on mile
age, made by Chairman NJ L. Fos-
seen, of Hennepin, showed that the to-
tai mileage of members amounted to
$3,932.50 On a basis of 15 cents per
mile In coming to ST. Paul and return
ing home, Representative o. B. Ekman,
OF Roseau county, drew the largest
sum in mileage. For 1,146 miles he
drew $171.90. DR.. T. c. Fulton, of
w nlte scar, was given the smallest.
amount, his mileage being $3.50. Hen
nepin county members each drew $3.50,
and the Ramsey county members made
no claim for mileage. Like the bill
providing for legislative expenses, the
report was adopted without division.
A resolution offered by M. d. Flower,
of Ramsey, provided for the appoint
ment of w. p. Huntington, late of Red
wood county, as official flag raiser for
the new state capitol. Mr.. Huntington
had recently resigned from the state
soldiers home board, after sixteen
years service without pay. The reso-
luton went to the committee on legis-
lative expenses.
The statute revision commission
gave notice to the house that its report
had been delayed, and would not be
ready for submission before Jan. 20.
Representative L. H. Johnson, of
Hennepin, gave notice through a reso-
luton that the house considers the
cloak room facilities entirely made
quate- The resolution directs the cap
itel custodian and the sergeant-a -arms
to provide some other facilities than
the small room set apart for cloak
room purposes Representative Fos-
seen gave notice of debate and the
resolution went over. -
The house adjourned when the in
augural had been completed to 10
o'clock this morning. 1t is expected
that the house will adjourn today to
next Monday or Tuesday, and that on
reassemblng Speaker Clague will then
announce his committee appointments.
