ORE LAND ASSESSMENT.
Minnesota Board Finally Fixes 1t at
$191, 100000.

The assessment of the iron mine
properties in Northern Minnesota
will remain at the figure fixed by
the state tax commission, approx
mately s191,0OO,o0O This is an in
crease Of fully $50 per cent over the
figures of last year and the determina-
ton to permit the new figures to stand
was reached by the state board of
equalization after a heated discussion.
Commissioner Heinen offered the
motion accepting the tax commission s
valuation, $191, 100000. Commissioner
Meighen, who headed the movement
for a sitter valuation, countered the
Heinen motion with one increasing
the tax commission figures Is per
cent and later Commissioner Hodges,
in the interest of harmony, as he ex-
planned it, rendered motion making
the proposed increase 10 per cent.
On the roll call six voted for the in
crease and it was declared lost.
Commissioner Nolte raised the point
that even the tax commissions valua-
ton was unjust and proposed cut in
the figure, making the total $150,000,-
600. He only received the support of
one other member.
The Heinen motion, accepting the
tax commissions figures, was voted
upon and passed with one negative
vote

ACTION IN RATE CASE
Minnesota's Attorney General Is
Summoned to Court.
HE VIOLATED AN INJUNCTION
Ordered to Show Cause Why He
Should Not Be Punished for
Contempt.

Attorney General Young's challenge
has been accepted Contempt proceed
ings have been instituted against him
for violating Judge Lochren's injunc-
ton in the rate cases and Mr.. Young's
plan to secure an early decision of the
supreme court on the question of the
jurisdiction of the court to issue the
Injunction is in operation.
The proceeding is in the form of an
order to show cause why he should
not be punished for contempt. It is
based on Mr. YOung's action in COM
mencing asuit against the Northern
Pacific road for the enforcement of
the legislative commodity rates, in di-
rect violation of Judge Lochren's in
junction issued on Sept. %.
The attorney general has not been
placed under arrest nor detained IN
any way He will simply have to APP
pear before Judge Lochren on Oct. Fl
to show cause why he shall not be
punished for contempt in violating the
Injunction. He will have to admit the
violation of the injunction and the
court Will CneQ pIODdDiy IMPOSE d Inc
with directions that Mr. Young be
kept in the custody of the marshal UNI
til the fine is paid.
The attorney general will then be
able to apply to the United States SUI
preme court for a writ of habeas cor
pus In this proceeding the point will
be raised that by making the attorney
general a defendant in the rate cases
the suits are in fact brought against
the state, and hence are in violation of
the federal constitutional provision
which exempts states from liability to
suits
For this reason, the attorney gen
eral will contend, the court had no
jurisdiction against him and if the SUI
preme court sustains his position on
this point the suits will be dismissed
as to the attorney general and the
contempt proceedings will fail, as the
action complained of would be the
violation of a void injunction.

ALLEGED TO Be A BIGAMIST
New York Broker Claims EIOp-
ing Heiress Is His Wife.

New York, Oct 12.-The mystery
surrounding the disappearance more
than week ago of Helen Maloney,
daughter of Martin Maloney, the Phil
adelphia millionaire, was given a
highly sensational turn during the
day At the time of Miss Maloney's
disappearance Samuel Clarkson, a
young Englishman who had paid her
marked attention, also dropped out of
sight and it was reported and gener-
ally believed that the couple had
eloped and been married. Now comes
the news from Montreal that the miss
ing pair had been married by a Cath
Ollie priest in that city and then had
returned to New York and sailed for
Europe.
Following the Montreal announce
ment comes the publication here of an
unqualified statement from Arthur
Herbert Osborne, a young broker of
this city, that Miss Maloney is his
wife. According to Osborne he and
Miss Maloney were married Dec. %,
1905, and the marriage never has
been annulled Osborne says records
in the notary's Office at Mamaroneck,
which show that Herbert Osborne had
married Helen Eugene on that date,
will prove his statement. He said
assumed names were used because at
the time Miss Maloney desired to keep
the marriage secret The fact that
the marriage had taken place did be-
come known, however, according to
Osborne, and he declares that among
those VINO learned of it was young
Clarkson. He says that not only did
Clarkson know of the marriage, but
that only a short time ago he sought
to have it annulled, having gone SO
far as to consult a New York lawyer
on the subject.

RUN ON MINNEAPOLIS BANK
Clearing House Committee Declares
institution Is Sound.

INSTITUTION S SOuno.
An unexplained run on the Farmers
and Mechanics bank of Minneap-
oils, which had been developing for
several days, eliminated Thursday
when about 100000 was drawn out.
During the week 100000 has been
drawn out of total deposits of about
s13 100000. AS a result of the run, a
statement was issued by a clearing
house committee stating that the bank
is in excellent condition.
The bank, which is a savings in
stitution, has $4,000 depositors, about
1000 of whom during the past few
days have inquired concerning the
banks condition.
1.-THE bank is solvent beyond a
doubt" said John De Laittre, presi-
dent of the institution. ''It holds no
mortgage or bonds that it would be
willing to lose. No trustee of the bank
and no member of the family of a
trustee owes the bank dollar. All
depositors will be paid dollar for dol
lar and the general feeling among
them is one of confidence"

REFUSES TO TELL ON PAL
Boy Loses Eye but Will Not Say Who
Fired Shot.

There is little. hero at Bethesda
hospital, ST. Paul, who will lose his
left eye as the result of a gunshot
wound, but although he knows he will
lose his eye he will not tell the name
of the boy who shot him, because it
was only an accident. He is Rhein-
hart Rornemann, eight years old, and
lives at Young America
The boy, in company with several
companions, took an air gun and went
out to shoot rabbits. No one knows
how it happened, for Rheinhart won't
tell, but he came home an hour later
with leaden pellet in his left eye.
AS near as can be gathered one of the
boys discharged the gun thoughtlessly
the shot striking the .Hornemann boy
in the left eye, penetrating the ball.

MANY LUMBERMEN INDICTED
Federal Grand Jury at Minneapolis
Votes True Bills.


AS a result of its investigation Of
the so-called little black book" the
federal grand jury at Minneapolis
has returned nineteen indictments
against well known lumbermen and
officers of the Northwestern Lumber
mems association, charging conspir-
Rcy to defraud by the use of the mails.
The black book plan was pursued
by lumbermen and other opponents of
mail order houses and provided simply
that the victims of the device were to.
be made to answer futile correspond
ence and send out innumerable cata-
logues, all with no result in trade.
The penalty of the offense is a fine
Of not more than $4,000 or imprison-
ment for not more than two years, or
both.
A separate indictment was also re-
turned against Theodore S. McLaugh-
lin for misuse of the mails 1t con-
tanned four counts and the penalty is
fine of not more than $500 for each
Dffense or imprisonment for eighteen
months, or both.
Bench warrants have been issued
against each of the parties indicted
and they are to appear before Judge
William H. Munger in the United
States district court at Minneapolis
the latter part of the week.
The scheme to defraud, as charged
in the indictment, was that the alleged
conspirators, knowing that certain
catalogue houses sold lumber and mill
supplies by catalogue system and that
the catalogues cost the firms on the
average of about 81 each, devised a
fraudulent scheme to get the firms to
send these catalogues out on the pre-
tense of entering into negotiations
with the senders, with no intent to
enter into business relations.
The persons named in the indict-
ment are indicted as individuals and
not as members of any company or
association.

Kidneys

Cause more trouble than any other organ of
