WILL REPORT BILL FAVORABLY
Senate Judiciary Committee to Recon-
mend Commission Bill.

The senate Judiciary committee has
concluded it's consideration of the bill
allowing cities of the third class to
adopt the commission form of govern
ment, and after warm discussion and
some opposition from the senator from
Saltwater, the bill was amended and
will be favorably reported. Tine amend
ed bill was sent to C. 0. Daley, attor-
ney for the charter commission, and has
been gone over by him and Chairman
Palmer and Judge Cray, and the amend
ments are found to be acceptable. They
do not change the bill, except to en-
large the powers of the charter com
mission, by cutting out the detail from
the bill. The general features of the
commission plan are retained, but the
application of these is left to the com
mission. This makes a much briefer
bill.
When the senate disposes of the bill
it is thought that no trouble will be
encountered in the house.

HIS STAND AGAINST ATHLETICS.
DR.. ]. S. Young Would Have Physical
Culture in the Schools.

DR.. J. S. Young of the Mankato nor
NAL school in his talk on the school
and health at the teachers meeting in
Faribaut created some surprise by tax
ing stand against athletics and ad-
yancing instead the taking up of physi-
cal culture. He also spoke on the i'm
portance of teachers having plenty of
sleep, and declared being up late at
night usually resulted in a cross teach
er the following day. He hoped to see
the time when teachers shall be obliged
to undergo physical examination as
we'll as meet an educational test
Superintendent j. M. Mcconnell of
Mankato gave an excellent talk on "The
Teachers Agency as a Factor in School
Economies He believes that the
agency is valuable as distributor OF
teachers over large area, thus max
inc our schools more up to date. He
maintains. however, that the teachers
agency is too much commercialized
that it tends to lower salaries, and
causes discomfort among teachers.

SUCCESSOR TO JUDGE PURDY
Senator Nelson Is Said to Have Selected
Man fer Place.

Washington, March 20-Without say
to his intimate friends the impression
that a new man will be selected to take
the place of Judge Milton ID. Purdy as
federal Judge in Minnesota. That he
has man selected for the place seems
also to be a settled question, but not
even his closest friends have been able
to learn who he is.
From the same source comes, the in
formation that the man Senator Nelson
has in mind is not Minneapolis man,
nor is it c.. j. GundersOn, who was in
dorsed for the place by the Minnesota
state senate.
And the story further runs that
Judge Purdy will not even get an APP
pointment elsewhere that requires the
confirmation of the senate.
1t is undertOod that the unusual
procedure of the state senate in rec
ommending the appointment of man
| for a federal judicial appointment will
not carry much weight either with the
president or the Minnesota senators.
In fact it was said by man who is
close to Mr.. Taft and was an intimate
friend of Mr.. Roosevelt, that the presi-
dent will not even consider the Mime
/ sofa senate resolution.
This, added to the political situation
in Mr. Gundersons district, leads those
: well acquainted with state politics to
believe that he has no show for the job
The fact that President Taft gave
Judge Pltrdy recess appointment
along with several others, Immediately
after he was inauourated, and that two
weeks have elapsed and he has not sent
these appointments to the snate for
confirmation, strengthens the belief
that he does not intend to press to an
| issue in the senate their permanent ap-
pointments.

STUDENTS WENT ON A STRIKE.
Compel Member of University Faculty
to Step Down and Out

st. Paul, March 22.-Dr. Forest IL.
Orion of st. Paul, professor of crown
and bridge work in the dental school
of the state university, has handed in
his resignation because boycott had
been declared on him by the entire
senior class of dental Students. No
action was taken on the resignation.
The fifty-six dental students met and
passed resolutions refusing to recognize
DR.. Orion as a member of the faculty or
as an instructor. The resolutions were
presented to Dean Alfred Owre, with
the statement that the students OBJ
jected strenuously to DR.. Orton's per-
sonality. 1t was declared that he was
arrogant toward them.
The trouble between DIR. Orion and
the students has been brewing for
several months. The undergraduates
objected to his appointment to the fac
ulty, and ever sinse he has been with
the dental college there have been
strained relations between him and the
students.

INCLUDES INSURANCE POLICIES
Payments Must Be Made Under the
Inheritance Tax Law.

Washington, March Equipments
made under life insurance policies
would be levied against under the in
heritance tax law proposed in the
Payne tariff bill, according to authori-
ties here. This point was not dis
cussed when the committee on ways
and means had the inheritance tax up
for cosideration.
Representative Boutell, member OF
the committee, ventured the opinion
that if the Inheritance tax applied
to life insurance it would depend al
/ together upon the terms of policy
or the will of decedent. He thought
that if the Inheritance tax became a
law it would take a decision of the
United States supreme court to deter
mine whether it applied to life insur
ance.

WILL NOT Be TRIED
MRS. EMMA ZIMMERMAN AND MISS
PRESSLER ARE SET FREE.
Case Against Them Is Dismissed; Their
Attorneys Demanded Immediate
Action in District Court; Judge
Pfau Advises the Married One to
Keep Away From Ambrose Rieff /;
With Reluctance He Discharged Her.
From SATURDAYS Daily.

From SATURDAYS Daily.
The district court convened at two
o'clock this afternoon, and Mrs. Emma
l.. Zimmerman and Miss Emma Pressler
appeared before it. w. R. Geddes APP
peared for Miss Presser, and demanded
that the ease against her be brought to
an immediate trial, as required by law.
C. O. Daley appeared for Mrs. Tim
norman and also demanded an imme-
date trial for his client.
The court asked County Attorney
Plymat whether he was ready, and Mr..
Plymat moved that the indictments
against both of the defendants be
dismissed on the ground that there was
no evidence to convict or that would
warrant going ON with the case.
Judge Pfau said that there had been
trial of one of the defendants, and he
had been obliged to instruct the jury
to find the defendant not guilty, and
he apprehended that the evidence would
be somewhat similar in these eases.
Mr. Plymat said that the evidence
would be no different, but there was
not as much.
Scolded By the Court.
The court said that it was with a
good deal of reluctance that he allowed
the motion to be made and granted it.
The evidence in the Ref case had de-
veloped state of facts that was not
| creditable to any of the parties.
Addressing Mrs. Zimmerman, the
court said that the dismissal of the
indictments did not necessarily end the
/ trouble for her. Her conduct had not
been commendable, to Judge from the
evidence, but has was compelled to let
her 90 this time. This case ought to
be warning to her, and ought to open
her eyes as to what other people
thought. She ought to keep away from
Ref and take care not to cause feel
ing to be engendered by continuation
of her alleged past conduct. He hoped
that she had renewed what seemingly
! had said, for he would not like to hear
! that he shad renewed what seemingly
had been the relations of the past. 1t
was with reluctance that he discharged
her, and only because it was his duty
If more evidence developed in the flu
! ture the case could be renewd.
| The two women were then given theil
! liberty.

and other amusements would be suffi-
cient, in a few years to pay off the
