BABIES HURT BY HORSES
THREE ST. PAUL CHILDREN ARE
RUN OVER BY PLUNGING RUN
AWAY TEAM.

Three babies were nearly killed in
ST.. Paul yesterday morning as result
of runaway on. Payne avenue. Kath-
crime scanlon, aged IL months, is in
critical condition, suffering from
fractured skull and internal injuries;
her twin brother, Francis. is badly
bruised and shaken up; and Baby Dan
ielson, years old, a son Of Andrew
Danielson, $50 York street, is badly
bruised and cut. The Scanlon children
live" at 1876 York street. -
The accident occurred at 11:30. A
team of horses Of the Japan Tea COM
pany broke the tiestrap and started on
mad run down the street. At Wells
street, the runaway suddenly turned
onto the sidewalk and dashed towards
the children, who were in gocarts in
charge of nurse girls.
In few seconds the children were
mangled and unconscious forms on the
sidewalk, but the nurses escaped un-
hurt. The children were hurried to a
nearby drugstore for temporary treat
ment, and were then taken to their
| homes. Little Katherine Scanlon is the
most seriously injured, and it is feared
that she is suffering from blood clot
on the brain. ~ --t. .

G00D.R0ADS PLANS
FOR HENNEPIN COUNTY

Because Of the increase in assessment
valuations the county commissioners OF
Hennepin county may decide to expend
considerable money next year for road
improvements. The commissioners were
in session yesterday to make ar, estimate
of the probable expense Of running the
county affairs next year. The total
budget for the present year is $780,
462. 28 One large item Of expense that
will not be necessary next year Is the
item for elections. ~
There is much sentiment favoring a
road improvement campaign, and when
the first estimate is completed this sub
iect will come up for thoro discussion.
With the increased valuation and no
elections next year 1t would be possible
to lower the rate considerably. It is
possible, however, that the d commission SIS n
the opportunity to raise the standard of
roads in the county and leave the rate
as at present. ss ~.

'WASHBURN HOME FOR ALI
INSTITUTION ms IN LEGAL POSI-
STIoN TO RECEIVE CHILDREN
FROM ALL PARTS OF STATE.

Colonel G. e. Faulkner In making his
biennial report as superintendent Of the
tWashburn Home, calls attention to chap
ter 800, laws Of 1899, under the provi-
sions Of which the good offices Of the
several probate judges of the state in
the hearings, findings. and orders neces-
sary to determine eligibility to the ben.
Gifts offered and. establishing the power
Of guardian control, were made availa-
BE to this institution the same as to
the state public school. In 1905 the
legislature passed the juvenile court
law, which applies to Hennepin, RAM
sey, and st. Louis counties and in those
particular counties supersedes the law
The attention Of the board is there
fore called to the beginning of move
ported by the judges Of the district
court, the teachers association, the as
ISOLATED charities, the Humane society,
the city and county authorities, and va
rious religious and charitable societies
and having the promise of support from
good citizens IN every walk Of life
which seeks the incorporation under the
exercising the functions of guardian,
the object Of which shall be to econ
serve the integrity Of family life, pro-
mote the security and comfort Of the
home and safeguard the rights Of per-
son and property Of residents Of Henne-
pin county, who may become subject to
any form Of legal custodial care.''
This form Of juvenile guardianship
| Is to be made prominent topic before
| the state conference of charities and
corrections at Red Wing in November.
Mr.. Faulkner, as a student of these
conditions, notes decided increase of
public interest in Minnesota in some
forward movement for destruction of
those causes and influences which pop.
ulate training schools, reformatories and
prisons. Following the requirements of
the Juvenile law, the Washburn
home made application for authority
to receive, care FOR and dispose of chill
dren who may be committed to it by
the Juvenile court, and the board Of
control have granted such authority al
a result of their official inspection Of
the institution. The present buildings
Of the Washburn home accommodate
100 children, whose time is judiciouslJ
divided between work and play ani
rest. r.
I, It is much desired by the manage
ment that the newspapers Of the state
make known to the people that tn,
doors Of the Washburn home are ope1
to eligible applicants from all parts 0:

ALDERMEN BALK AT
VOTING MACHINES
PROBLEM Is TOO DEEP FOR sPE-
CIAL COMMITTEE.
By Vote Of z to 5 Decision is Reached
\ to Drop Entire Question in Hope that
Future WILL Vouchsafe More Knowl-
edge and Lower Prices Protests Are
Vain.

i Notwithstanding that the question Of
voting machines has been before the
council for six or eight years, and all
the large cities Of the country have
adopted voting machines, the special
council committee, to which was re-
ferred the matter Of selecting ma
chine for use in Minneapolis, today de-
cided by vote of to to reject all
bids and drop the matter.
The reasons for this action were
summed up in a little address by Alder
man Wendell Hertig, who alleged that
the question fvoting machines was SO
new that aldermen had had no oppor-
tunity to post themselves on the merits
Of the various machines. He suggest
ed that the matter be left open until
the next election, when in all probable
chimes and the prices might be lower.
Moreover it was not possible to get 139
machines in operation for the general
election, let alone the primary.
Protests Are in Vain.
Aldermen Starkweather, Rand and
Van Nest protested against such action
by the council, after advertising for
bids and causing considerable expense
to the companies. They thought that
should be done IN b vieT 5ae Of
JIG law Ia0t NOtAAS LuoSdAACS LOU 49,
adopted by all the large cities Of the
country, many Of which did not boast
Of being particularly progressive.
The bidders also protested against
the treatment give nthem, but it was
useless and the motion to reject all
bids was carried by = vote Of seven to
five. e., ~. 1.s
Council Has Power.
City Attorney Frank Healy, at the
opening o fthe meeting, presented a
written opinion on the various consti-
tutional questions involved. He held
that the council under the statutes had
ample power to issue bonds for the pur-
chase Of machines and to employ such
machines in the primary and general
election. He was also Of the opinion
that the law requiring electors to vote
by ballot was not in conflict with the
voting machine law, as the main thing
was to secure secrecy and security.
He also believed that the creation of
the voting machine commission, which
was simply to ascertain certain facts
and report upon them, was not uncon-
stitutiOnal ~ ....-4.-
