Attorney General Refuses to Begin
Proceedings Requested By. Red
Lake Falls Citizens. =
THIEF RIVER FALLS JUB1LANT
Simpsons Opinion Read At Mass
Meeting Called to Celebrate the
Victory.

remington county is to remain as
it is, SO far as Attorney General
Simpson is concerned. He has de-:
cided that the trouble between the
people Of Red Lake Falls and Thief
River Falls is not of sufficient i'm
portance to the state as a whole for
him to take hand by bringing quo
warrantO proceedings before the SUI
preme court as was requested by J.
A. Duffy and others of Red Lake
Falls.
This will end the litigation which
has involved large number of people
in the northern part of the state. By
diligent efforts of the people of the
north end of Red Lake county erect
ed new county at the last election,
the county officers are in office and
the county is running as are others
of the state.
Claiming there has been fraud in
the election, however, citizens of.
Red Lake Falls sought to have the
election set aside and appealed for
the assistance of the attorney gener-
al. After a hearing. ten days -ogo;:
Mr.. Simpson has now decided that he
will deny the petition.
Word to this effect was read last
evening at big meeting in Thief
River Falls, Pennington county,
called to celebrate the victory.
There are a number of financial
problems involving the execution of
ditch contracts in Pennington coun-
ty which Red Lake county executed
last spring. The legislature may be
called upon for laws governing the
situation, as there is no present
method whereby the new county may
assume the contracts executed by the
| other.
Mr.. Simpsons opinion embodied in
his letter to Mr.. Duffy, follows:
I'm the matter of your request
that the Attorney General make ap-
plicatiOn to the supreme court for a.
writ of quo warranto to test in effect
the organization of Pennington
county, have come to the conclus-
ion after very careful consideration
of the whole matter, that the same
should be and is refused.
"Ordinarily an application of this
nature is made when requested, if it
appears that the public good requires
the same, but in this case no fact or
argument has been presented to me
from which the latter might be
reasonably adduced. On the other
hand, it does appear. on it's face at
least, that the new county was law
fully created. To attempt at this
time to set aside the action thus
taken, would, in my opinion, not
only not be conductive to the public
good, but would rather prolong an
agitation which has existed of COM
mon knowledge for years and which
cannot be considered otherwise than
harmful to the public welfare: In
other words, from the standpoint of
the state, I see no public good that
will be subserved in making the an
plication you request. The interests
of the state in my opinion are to the
contrary.
Il herewith return your bond. The
other papers will be held together
with this opinion as part of the files
of this department" >

by the senate committee at meeting
yesterday afternoon but it wasn't.
The committee held only a brief ses-
sion and no recommendation was
made. Some of the senators present
made it known that they proposed to
present several radical amendments
to the house bill, but they did not
have them ready and so the commit
tee adjourned, not to meet again
until on Tuesday of next week. In
addition to this the city papers figure
that reapportionment was given an
other black eye by the senate when
the judiciary committee voted to re-
commend the acknowledgement bill,
amending the state constitution so
that no county will have more than
four senators. This is particularly
objectional to St. Paul, Minneapolis
and Duluth.
Andrew Johnson Home; Brother
Promoted.
Andrew Johnson, of Bemldji, who
has been in the Twin Cities since be-
fore the opening of the legislature,
has returned home After a day in
Bemidji he goes to his farm near
Kelliher. He will assist County Sur
veyor Roy Bliler in completing the
survey of bitches and 10. Mr..
Johnson's brother Nels, leaves on
March 10 for South America where
he goes for an indefinite length of
time as representative of the Min
neapolis Gas Traction company. Nels
will sail from New York on March 20
for Buenos Aires, Argentina, which
city will be his headquarters. The
voyage from New York to South
America is scheduled at % days.
Mr.. Johnson is a gas engine expert
and will participate, for his Mime
apolis company, in competitive
demonstration, after which he will
assist in introducing the Minneapolis
engines into Argentina.
Sunday baseball can continue to
be played in Minnesota, so far as the
legislature is concerned. The Sa-
geng bill which sought to repeal the
bill passed two years ago permitting
Sunday games was voted down by
the senate, p to 20.
Specific charges against George A
Ralph, state drainage engineer, were
made to the house investigating COM
mittee by special subcommittee
composed of G. H. Warner, Albert
Pfaender and Garfield w. Brown.
The charges against Mr.. Ralph will
now be taken up and the evidence

IMMIGRANTS KEPT
IN FILTHY ROOMS
GOV. DIX ASKS FOR RESIGNATION
OF HEALTH OFFICER
DOTY.

Albany, n. Y, Dec. 2S.-Gov. Dix
has asked for the immediate resigna-
ton of DR.. Alva II. II. Doty as health
officer Of the port of New York, a
position which he has held since 1895.
DR.. Doty's term expired last January
His removal was recommended re-
Gently by Charles |. Bulger, the com
missioner appointed by the governor
to investigate the management and
affairs Of the office. In his letter to
Dr. Doty, made public today, the gov
ernor reviews the report of Commits
sioner Bulger, who declared that the
history Of the business administration
of states quarantine sis replete with
evidence of gross incompetency and
ineXcusable negligence"
The governor says the evidence
Shows a condition of squallor and
uncleanliness in the rooms where i'm
migrants were kept that shocks ones
sense of decency and makes one
ashamed of his country" He points
out that these conditions should not
have escaped the health officers at
tention, but whether or not they came
to his notice, he must be held re-
sponsible for them.
The salary of the health officer is
S12,500 year.

ural resources, timber, iron, coal and
oil.
And this mighty power has grown
up in a country where under the con-
stitution and the law, the citizen is
sovereign"
Although Senator La Toilette made
no direct reference to the president
nor suggested his own candidacy, he
included in his speech a denunciation
of the Payne-Aldrich tariff law imme.
diately following his praise of labor
organization and his opinion that the
Sherman antitrust law did not con-
template their regulation.
The passage of the Payne-Aldrich
bill was the most outrageous assault
Of private interests upon the people
recorded in tariff history" he said He
criticised the proposed National Re-
serve association of the Aldrich mon
etary plan. The greatest menace to
competition at the present time is the
control of credit and the concentra-
ton Of money in the hands of those
who control the trusts" he continued.
| Elasticity in our currency is impera-
tive and must be secured, but any
plan to secure it, like that of the pro-
posed National Reserve association,
which puts control in the hands of
the banks and moneyed interests, will
strengthen the power Of the trusts
to get capital and to keep competitors
from getting it. Any such plan must
be controlled by the people. 1t is the
peoples money that is expected to
give security to any plan, and the peo
pies money must not be controlled by
those who, on the plea of elasticity
will be able to use it to kill competi
tors of the trusts"
The progressive movement, Mr.. La
Toilette declared, has as it's aim the
restoration Of the government to the
people. "The real cure for the ills Of
democracy is more democracy" was
one Of his epigrams.

His Message to ohio-He Talked
About the Trusts.

Cleveland, O., Dec. 28-The second
days schedule of Senator LaFollette's
Ohio campaign called for two speech
es, one at Norwalk at noon and one
at Toledo tonight The departure of
the LaFollette party from Cleveland
was set for an early hour this morn
ing. The trip to Norwalk by trolley
was made in a blizzard of wind and
snow. Considerable interest attaches
to Senator LaFollette's visit to Toledo,
as it was in that city, only a few days
ago, that that wing of the republican
party allied with the progressive
movement in Ohio revolted against
espousal of the LaFollette candidacy
and declared for Theodore Roosevelt.

ance last night in the interest Of the
