FINE FOR ALL FAILURES TO

Commissioners Have Drafted a Bill

responsible for it's crossing and side
walks in front of municipal buildings.
and the United States Is made RESPONSE
BILE for the walks in front of government
buildings.
The Commissioners believe the bill
will meet the criticisms aimed at for

clared discriminating and invalid by the
courts
1t provides that every tenant within

In sending the bill to the Capitol, and
asking for it's enactment, Commissioners
Rudolph said that it was designed as

meet the Districts needs be con-
sidered armor proof in the courts. Pre-
vious measures on this subject have been
declared invalid because of discrimina-

LOSES land
NOTED CASE is DECIDED BY
THE SUPREME COURT.
State Courts of Minnesota Are Up.
held-Contest a Long
One.

The United States Supreme Court today
announced decision in the long con-
troversy over the title to certain land in
Minnesota in favor of Peter Froyseth and
against the trustees of the Hastings and
Dakota Railway Company.
Scarcity of unallotted land in the state
of Minnesota was the foundation Of this
suit of ejectment brought by Russell
Sage, as assignee in trust of the Hastings
and Dakota Railway Company. against
Froyseth. who likewise claimed the own
ership of a quarter section of land in
Chippewa county. MINI. Sage was Sue
ceeded as trustee by Edward c. Osborn
and j. J. Slocunl.
In 1866 a grant of land was given to
the railroad to aid in the construction of
d road across the state of Minnesota. BY
reason Of overlapping and prior grants
the company had difficulty in selecting
land that had not been reserved. The
land which Frcyseth occupies was claim
ed by the road 10y reason of selection in
1885,; and by re-selection in 1891. F'roy
seth claimed that no rights were ac-
quired by the railroad or its assigneeS
under the selection of 1883, and, the lands
having been restored to the public do
main by the Secretary of the Interior in
1891. as he commended, his rights as
attached at that time.
A decision was given by the Minnesota
courts favorable to Froyseth. This was
affirmed today by the United States Su-
preme Court in an opinion announced by
Justice Lurton.

LESS RIDES OR LESS HAIR
DERMATOLOGIST SAYS MOTOR
ING INDUCES BADNESS.
Causes Too Many Shampoos, Regard
ed as Harmful to Hirsute
Growth.

BOSTON, March Att is apparent
from what DR.. C. J. White, dermatolo-
gist at the Massachusetts General Hos
pital. says that women must either cut
down the number of auto trips or run
the awful chances of becoming bald. DR..
White says motoring is bad for the hair.
Usually women neglect to properly
cover their heads. with the result that
they are compelled to take too many
shampoos," DR.. White said. Washing
the hair and scalp once a month is often
enough for skin which is normal. A
shampoo every other day or SO, or even
cnce a week, will produce badness. and
after a person reaches twenty-five or
thirty years Of age it is impossible to cure
abnormal falling out of hair.
If women want to go motoring they
must completely cover the hair, but that
keeps out the air and produces badness.
If they permit the dust to get on the
scalp and then submit to the wicked
shampoo they will also lose their hair.
The only safe way is to reduce the num-
Der Of auto trips.

NEW RAT AND ANTELOPE
NAMED FOR ROOSEVELTS
Smithsonian Papers Tell of Unique
Animals Under Observation of
African Expedition.

The fourth paper dealing with the re-
suits Of the Smithsonian African eXpedi-
ton in British East Africa has just been
issued. 1t is entitled Five New Rodents
From British East Africa and is by
Edmund Heller. one of the field natural
lists connected with the expedition.
The new species described are Pelomys
roosevelt, Dasymys helukus, Leggada
naivashae, Saccostomus mearnsi and
Steatomys athi. These are all small ro-
dents, ranging in size from a mouse to
a rat, and are differentiated from other
species by minor characteristics. The
most interesting, however, of the lot is
the Pelomys. roosevelt. which is about
the size of a small rat and is remark
able for it's celebration, possessing a strong
olive iridescencc similar to the color of a
golden mole.

Threat From Albany.

One of the sinister features of the
present situation is the threatening of
the Taft Root-Hughes combination by the
'black horse cavalry at Albany. with
precipitation Of party strife similar to
that of 1881 If the administration does
not keep hands off the devoted bunch at
Albany and allow them to handle their
own affairs in their own way.
Their attitude amounts practically to a
declaration of war ON the party unless
they are permitted to do as they please,
and the air is full of dire threats of what
is to follow the efforts at republican
housekeeping by the big men of the
party.
But the leaders of the house-clean-
ing movement don't scare worth a
cent. If the party is doomed to a
licking next fall in New York, they
would rather suffer il as result of eff
fcrts to reorganize upon sound and
clean basis than to have defeat ad-
miniStered as punishment for continu-
ing in ways that are reprehended by
the intelligent vote of the state.
There is no lack of appreciation on
the part of the reorganizers of the pos
sibilities that may come from in
ternecine party strife. The catastrophe
of 1881 and the lean republican years
that followed are still fresh in the
minds of New York republicans.
