LAW DECLARED VOID
NO LICENSE is REQUIRED AS
PREREQUISITE TO RUNNING
DENTAL OFFICE.
Does Not Affect That Part of the
Statute Regarding the Practice
of Dentistry.

That portion of the statute of 1901
regulating the practice of dentistry,
which requires a license from the
state board of dental examiners as a
prerequisite to owning, running or
managanig' a dental office, is uncon-
stitutional according to an opinion of
the supreme court filed Saturday in
case of the state of Washington, re-
spondent, VS.. Edwin ]. Brown, appel
liant.
The opinion of the court in this case
should be distinguished from an opin-
ion filed December %, 1904, in the case
of Smith VS.. Board of Dental Examin-
ers. The opinion in the Smith case
sustains the statutory requirement for
the@ practice of dentistry" the opin-
ion filed today affects only that por-
ton relating to the owning, running
or managing of a dental business
The court says:
"A consideration of the province of
the police power, in the light Of con-
stitutional rights, would seem to show
beyond controversy that in the enact
ment Of this portion of the statute
the legislature transgressed it's au-
thority. Should the owner or man.
ager hire operators not legally quail
fed; or should they participate in the
treatment or operations mentioned in
the other portions of the statute, they
would, of course, be amenable to, and
punishable under, those provisions.
But we are unable to say or perceive
that the health, moral or physical
welfare of the public. or any of the
personal or property rights of it's in
dividuals. are endangered by the own
ership and management of a dental
office so long as those employed
therein to do the actual dentistry work
are qualified and licensed as by law
required
The opinion is a reversal of the SUI
in question was approved March IS,
1901, and is found on pages 314 to 31S
of the session laws.
The court reverses the similar case

BEET SUGAR PLANT.
ATTACKED BY FIRE
The Big Factory at ST. Louis Park
Seems Doomed to De-
struction.

Fire broke out in the beet sugar fac
tory at st. Louis Park this afternoon
and the building appeared to be
doomed.
Shortly before pm. the flames were
discovered in the west end of the struc-
ture. They already had strong head
way. The plant was not sprinkled nor
provided with any special re-ighting
devices. With the limited fire depart
ment Of the village the fire had every
thing its own way, as much time had
elapsed before the apparatus could be
brought from the city.
Contracts had just been made for a
large acreage Of beets, but grinding will
not begin till next November and the
plant may be reconstructed before that
time.
The Minnesota Sugar company began
operations at st. Louis Park in 1899
building 6. factory that year with a
appointed in long fight to secure state

made for 3 ,290 acres to be planted this
season. u. w. Fink is president anC

BUSINESS CONCEIT
As BlGELOW'S RUIN.
Friend of Milwaukee Defaulter
Says Over Confidence in Abil-
ity Destroyed Him.

Milwaukee, May 1.-The first anthem.
tic statement in regard to the cause of
the dawnfall Of Frank G.. Bigelow, the
defaulting bank president, was made
today by an intimate friend of the
former banker.
Bigelow's friend attributes the disas-
ter to an over abundance Of confidence
in business ability, which he did not
possesses.
Bigelow, his friend states, denies en-
phatically, that he lost the money in
wheat deal. This friend goes on:
If you were to ask him how the money
was spent he would be unable to tell you.
His affairs are in a remarkable tangle.
Considering his long career in business it
is unbelievable that matters should be
found so inextricably entangled.
| To my mind there is no reason to be-
lieve that the defalcation dates back
more than a comparatively few years.
Ask him point blank he might say five or
six years. Again he might give some
other answer, for he really does not
| know.
AS to his alleged defalcation from 9TH
err banks. Isn't it a bankers business to
see that it is secured? Looking at it
from purely business standpoint, it is
| impossible to steal from a bank If the
business of the bank is safeguarded. For
instance one company in st. Louis
| loaned Mr.. .BlgeloW SoO,OO0. BlgelOW gave
as security stock in the First Nationa
bank worth much more. There is nc
reason to suppose that he meant to de.
fraud the st. Louis institution There
was nothin gabout him to indicate tina
he did. He paid the interest regularly
and as a matter of fact, did not Intend
to be dishonest He thought he was {
financier. .-.... ...-
i, He kept no books. I am sure do no
know whether it indicated mental weak
ness on his part. I can but repeat, y
, supposed he was a greater business MAJ
than he was. .-...
:, Just when Mr.. Bigelow began to TAX
a the banks funds is a matter I am un
+ able to determine from anything he says
When an examination Of the bank wa
made last January nothing was disclosed
:, For all I know he did not begin unit
q after that time.
y There was an absolute lack Of system
! about anything he did, so far as his oW
= affairs are concerned. There was n
' plan such as a crook might devise, n
l. | careful turning of every act toward
= common point or purpose is to be dis
!, | covered.

TAKES HOSPITAL
OUT OF POLITICS
Mayor Will Let Hennepin County
Medical Association Choose
| City Physician.

Mayor David P. Jones will permit The
Hennepin County Medical association
to select the next city physician. To say
that the physicians are; as much as
founded as. they are pleased at this
plan is putting it mildly.
The mayor said today that it was his
unalterable determination to place the
city hospital on an absol utely non
partisan basis and to give it the high:
est standard Of efficiency; In this eff.
fort he asked the cooperation Of every
physician in the city.
He has assured the Hennepin County
Medical association that if that body
will select three capable men from their
number, the board of charities and cor.
REGIONS will place eNof them at the
head Of the city hospital. The three
possibilities should have the unanimous
support of their fellow practitioners
for in the event Of fight, the promise
might be recalled.
The offer was formally made to the
association last evening and wa:
greeted with such rousing cheers that
the police on the beat thought a demo
cratic rally had been turned loose with
out warning.

Special to The Journal.
Bemidji, Mimi, May 2.-The commits
sion to Investigate the charges Of the
public examiner against County Attor-
ney Lound and Commissioners Sibley
and Wright, organized at the courthouse
this morning by the election Of W. A.
Mcintyre of Red Lake Falls as chair
man, the other members of the commits
sion being Cleve w. Van Dyke, Govern
or Johnson's executive clerk, and At
torney Graham M. Torrance of Bemidji.
R. A. Stone, assistant attorney general,
assisted by E. E. Mcdonald of this city,
appears for the state, while Attorneys
Chester McKusick and P. H. Russell
represent Commissioners Sibley and
Wright respectively. It has been de-
cided to hear the case against the COM
missioners first. Their attorneys OBJ
jected to all proceedings and moved to
dismiss the cases on the ground that the
charges of the public examiner are not
specific, are insufficient to constitute a
case against the officials, and that suffi
cient time has not been given to pre-.
pare d defense.
It was agreed, however, that the com
mission has no authority to rule upor
the motions, which will simply be made
a portion of their report to Governor
Johnson.
Mr.. Stone stated that it was the in
tention of the state to allow ample time
for the preparation Of defense OF
every charge. Adjournment was the1
taken until afternoon.
The investigation is arousing wide
spread interest and the courtroom i!
well filed. ~ y .

RALPH IS UNDER
GOVERNORS BAN
Johnson Threatens Trouble if the
Present Drainage Engineer
Is Reelected.
In Such Event He Will Bring Up
Old Charges as a Basis for
Removal.
Governor John A. johnson has agai

Governor John A. johnson has again
"taken the bit in his teeth.''
There will be things doing if the
other two members of the state drain
age commission, State Auditor S. G..
IVerson and Secretary Of State Peter
E. Hanson, insist on the reelection Of
George H. Ralph Of Crookston as state
engineer. Governor johnson is ire
vocably opposed to the employment Of
Ralph under any conditions, and is
favorable to the election Of John
Abercrombie, an engineer residing at
Alexandria.
During the state campaign Ralph vas
actively opposed to johnson, and he bit
terly attacked johnson IS record as a
state senator on the subject of drain
age. Johnson, on visiting Crookston in
the campaign, made spirited reply to
the attacks by Ralph, and showed some
things in his legislative record which
Ralph had evidently forgotten to make
public.
Ralph which the governor has in hand
and will insist on having pushed if the
other two members of the commission
| in turn insist on his reelection as state
engineer. It is understood that these
charges are practically those for which
Raj phi was indicted at his home some
two years ago. Later on they were dis,
missed. They include securing of
money on questionable claims from diff
ferent county governments, having
claims in different counties for employ
ment on the same dates, and other Of
lenses.
F'These charges were hushed up two
years ago." said an official in the pub
| lie examiners office today, but if they
come out they will surprise the public. .
The charges limited at have recently
been gone over by the public examiner
Peter M. Kerst, and are ready to be
hurled against Ralph the minute he il
should take place. Governor johnson
would then make them the basis for the
