his guilt.
"ln some cases the girls were said to

LET me again make my meaning clear.
Assuming that Mr. Thaw's statements
md the letters which | had already re-
ceived were true, Mr.. White was guilty
of not merely immortality, but of vice
n its most hideOus form. That this vice
exists and is spreading to a degree alb
solutely appalling among the men of the
wealthy and upper middle class is true

in my possession. In some of these cases

ence and other power arraged against
me. i'm the majority of cases the prin-
cipal witness has been missing at the

FIFTY PEOPLE CITED.
Asked to Show Why They Should Not
Pay More Taxes.

The board of review will have gone
through personal tax roll in two more
evenings, when the real estate assess
ment will be taken up. The board finds
he assessors work fair and impartial
with the exception of a few of the bust
less men, who have been called upon
20 say why there should not be a raise
on merchandise to equal other mer-
chants assessments i'm the same line
rhe board is making strenuous efforts
10 reduce the rate by swelling the per-
Sonal values, and to this end has call
ed upon probably fifty or more of the
wealthy residents to show cause why
hey should not be assessed for moneys
md credits in various amounts. These
are items which it is impossible for the
assessor to get. These people will be
asked to answer questions honestly and
in fairness to the poorer class of citi-
zens, which are as a rule assessed fo1
everything in sight and bear the greater
proportion of taxes which the board
thinks ought not to be.

No state in the Union is better plac-
ed on committees.
Mr.. Tawney, with the purse strings
of the governmental his hands, Stevens
of st. Paul on the most important COM
mittee of the house, interstate and for
eign commerce, which framed the rate
bill, the pure food law, the free alcohol
measure and the quarantine act.
Volstead on public lands worked like
a beaver until he secured favorable
report on federal drainage for Mime
sofa, which is worth $3,000000 year
for that project.
Fletcher on military affairs was in
good shape to trade and do business
with the members of the public build
ings committee, and thus landed the am
bition of his life, the $35O,OOO for post
office building site.
Stevenson, author of the drainage bill
and member of postoffices and post
roads, Bede on rivers and harbors and
Buchanan on Indian affairs all secured
much important local legislation.
1t is sad to record that Congressman
McCleary is the tailender of the Mime
sofa delegation when he should really
be first.
But his perverse and almost willful
position in insisting for raising the tariff
and maintaining the present high rates
on all commodities is unfortunate for
the state.
Senators Nelson and Clapp and their
great work on the judiciary, commerce
and interstate commerce and Indian af-
fairs committee are entitled to much
credit. They had an important hand in
railroad rate legislation. Clapp and
Dolliver were on the side that routed
Aldrich and the so-called railroad inter
ests.
Senator Nelson had charge of the Lake
Erie ship canal bill, which means much
to the northwest.
Clapp had hard task as chairman of
the Indian committee at time when
there was much to dismay man of his
honest intentions. But he fought the
grafters and lobbyists from the Indian
territory much better and more effec-
tually than most people believed.
Altogether Minnesota is well up with
other states in Washington.

Washington, July, GOOD fellow
ship and cheer with everybody appar
emily happy as the curtains are runs
down on the first session of the Fifty
ninth congress. This expresses the gen
eral feeling at the close of the long, lab
orious and important period of hard
work covering seven months
With a good old Washington tempera
ture of hundred in the shade, boil
ing sizzling, the senators and members
of the house kept their temper to re
markable degree, all striving for the
one common end, to get through and &C
home by the first of July.
Senators DOTTED their thin silk coats
and with belt and loose trousers dug
down to conference reports like hired
mem on the railroad.
Members of congress were perfectly
happy in making the senate yield on the
meat inspection proposition, concerning
which there has been more misinforma-
ton sent out from Washington during
the past thirty days than Anuanias com
piled in his book of prevarications.
For be it truthfully recorded. young
Mr.. Beveridge attempted a very clever
game of politics when he essayed to
place the cost of inspection on the pack
ers, or, more correctly speaking, the
consumers.
It was such an attractive proposition
and appealed so strongly to senatorial
sentiment that it was adopted without
debate
The house, well knowing that it would
be simply impossible to execute law
containing the provision, struck it out
and substituted Uncle Sam with his
strong right arm to supervise the in
speetions. And now, since the senate
has yielded up, the capitol gossips do
say that it was all part of the pro
gram and that star plays that have been
made we're all for effect.
But while the house rejoices over the
senate's downfall on meat inspection,
the senate has the laugh on the house
over the railroad rate bill, which as
finally. passed contains many features of
strictly senatorial origin, which makes
the bill subject to early treatment by
the courts.
1t is claimed that the anti pass legis-
lation lis class legislation, and that
test will soon be brought.
All the Minnesota matters were well
taken care of. The state has been Sec
ond to none in framing the important
legislation of this session.

Partners in a Pawn Shop
Get in a Mixup.
WORDS LEAD TO BAD BLOWS.
Messrs. Shapiro and Alderman DID
Not Happen to Get Along Very
Well Together.
From Thursdays Daily.

From Thursdays Daily.
Shapiro & Alderman, proprietors of
pawn shop and second hand store on
North Front street, are in trouble be-
tween themselves, and as a result the
partnership is to be dissolved, after an
existence of six months. The trouble
broke out about four o'clock yesterday
afternoon, when Mr.. Alderman made the
discovery that the senior partner had
drawn all of the firms money out of
the bank, about 1925. Mr. Shapiro fol-
lowed this act by a demand for the
books of the firm, but the junior part
ner took possession of these suspecting,
as he claims, that Shapiro intended to
burn them for some purpose.
A wordy battle then followed, which
got more serious. Alderman made a
demonstration against his partner, kick
ing him in the body and striking him, so
it is said
Alderman was arrested on the charge
of disorderly conduct, and pleaded guilty
this morning in the police court and paid
a fine of $40 and COSTS The more he
tried to tell what led up to the affair the
less anyone understood about it. Ack-
erman is small, nervous man, but his
partner is still smaller and weaker, and
No match for him in n f;ubt
Shapiro was quite badly hurt in the
mixup and was taken home. Both sides
have consulted City Attorney Daley,
and he has acted as peacemaker, and
as a result the partnership is to be dis
solved, and Mr.. Alderman is to continue
in the business. The firm has had
large business and has done well.
