New Corporation Laws
for State May Be Drafted
University Man Takes Up Task
For The Minnesota Bar As
ISOLATION

Minneapolis, Dec.-Steps which
NAV lead to the drafting of an en-
tirely new code of laws governing
business corporations in Minnesota
have been taken by the State Bar
Professor Harvey s.
Hoshour of the University of Min
nesota Law School has been named
to codify existing laws of the state
referring to business corporations
and report back to the association.
Inasmuch as the business corpora
ton laws of Minnesota have not
been thoroughly revised since 1866
there is a strong probability that
the Bar Association will urge the
drafting and passage of a new
code.
Passage by the 1881 Legislature
of a law doing away with the
double liability Requirement for
business corporations has cleared
the way for revision of the corpor-
alton code, Professor Hoshour ex-
planned recently. When general
revision of the state laws was
made in 1905 the man assigned to
revise the corporation laws died
when his work was barley begun,
so no revision has been carried
through, although a number of new
laws have been passed to meet
changing conditions. Lawyers fore
saw, however, the ultimate repeal
and referred a general revision
of /" double-liability" until it should
have been effected.
If revision comes about it will
have as one of it's purposes a law
so stated as to lend Minnesota
business to incorporate in Mime
sofa rather than going to other
states. There is no intention, how
ever, of drawing the kind of law
that will attract large numbers of
corporations doing business in
other states to incorporate here, as
some states, noably Delaware, have
done.

up Marsh and the two bandits who
were guarding him.
With their two captives, the BAN
dts next went TO the home of Har-
old Hill, who operates hardware
store. Again, the constable was
forced to knock at the door and
once more the robbers pushed in
side when the door was opened.
"They ordered my wife out of
bed" Hill explained. "She was nat
urally frightened. They made us
line up against the wall. They took
about $50 in cash from a drawer
and about $3.50 of my wife's jew
elry. They made us dress, and we
went to my hardware store.
"They made me open the safe
and took about $110 from it. They
filled up their pockets with cart
ridges"
The robbers then rounded up Mr..
and Mrs. HILL Marsh and Hong
ward and herded them all back to
the Horrigan home.
The four men were pushed INTO
the basement and Mrs. Hill was
locked up in the bedroom with Mrs.
Horrigan and her sister-in-law.
Just as they put the men in the
basement, one Of the men struck
Hougward in the face, knocking
him down.
1.-TWO of the men were pretty
rough" Hill said. "They kept ours
ing and f1ourishing their pistols
and threatening us. They were all
well dressed. They looked like
they meant business, and we did
everything we were told to do"
The raiders failed to lock the
\ basement door. After leaving the
Horrigan home, at 5 A. NJ, they
sped away. The men ran outside
and saw them driving toward
Brainerd. Sheriffs at Brainerd and
Walker were notified and a gener-
al alarm was broadcast over the
state.
The two robbers who remained
to guard Mrs. Horrigan and her sis
ter-in-law were incoherent from Ii
quor or drugs, the women said.

gests. The advice applies alike to
Minnesotans who are taking winter

who have come to Minnesota with
cars licensed in other states.
The 1881 license plates in many
states are void after Dec. 81. For
eign car tags which are void in the
home state are also void in Mime
sofa, the bulletin points out. They
are neither entitled to the usual
ten day visitors exemption, nor to
the 90-day visitors permit. If the
owner of the car is a bona fide res
ident of another state, and intends
to return there, he should send for
his plates, and if he has taken up
residence, he should obtain Min
nesota license plates before he uses
the car.
In some other states the 1881
plates may be used for limited
time, usually to Feb. 1. Only one
other state permits their use as
long as Minnesota does. Foreign
cars with license plates which are
still good after Jan. 1, are entitled
to ten day stay in Minnesota. No
permits are granted, however, ex-

law requires every nonresident car
owner to obtain a permit within
ten days after entering the state.

So anxious was he to give an ex-

By DR.. WILLIAM J. SCH0LES

Are you careless about leaving
pins, safety-pins, coins, buttons,
corks or other small objects where
babies or small children can get
hold of them?
DIR. Russell S. Rowland of De-
troit, says that cases in which
such objects are swallowed or
sucked into the air-passages are
more common than is generally
supposed. Such accidents are of
ten readily recognized because of
fit of choking or strangling af-
ter a foreign body is known to
have been placed in the mouth.
But it sometimes happens that
babies or small children aspirate
small objects into the windpipe
and that no one knows about it.
The symptoms at the time of the
accident may not be noticed or
are soon forgotten. After per-
iod of apparent freedom from
trouble, symptoms resembling
those of certain diseases may de-
velope, according to Rowland.
Other Diseases Suspected
He states that Group, diptheria,
asthma, pneumonia, tuberculosis
and some less common diseases
have been suspected when the
trouble was caused by a foreign
body lodged in the windpipe, bron-
chial tubes or lungs. Objects
lodged in the esophagus for any
length of time may cause ulcera-
tion which is dangerous.
Powder Boxes Dangerous
Attention is called to the danger
Of babies playing with powder
boxes, and spilling some of the
powder on the face. 1t may get
into the bronchial tubes and lungs
and cause serious trouble or even
result in death.
DR.. Chevalier Jackson of Phila-
delphia, says that about 80 per
cent of the cases of this kind are
due to carelessness that is avoid
able. Extreme care should be ex-
ercised to keep objects of such size
that they are easily put into the
mouth away from babies and small
children. The bad habit of put
ting things into the mouth should
be corrected as soon as possible.

Hairs Growth After Death

Certain claims have been made
that in rare cases hair has been
proved to have grown after death.
The United States public health
service has stated there are no
authentic records of such cases.
The widespread belief in this
growth Is held to be caused by the
shrinking of the skin toward the
roots of the hairs, giving an ap-
pearance of hair growth. The same
may be said with regard to growth
of nails.

Raskob Forces Dry Issue
In NeU Statement
Photo by international

Ohio and Illinois, three Of which
are normally Republican, are
strongly demanding some con-
structive change in our present
prohibition laws"
He begged party members
everywhere, and particularly the
drys, not to delude themselves
with the idea that the prohibition
issue can be Straddled or evaded
in 1882. Instead of submerging
discussion Of it, he declared, there
should be close and thoughtful
consideration of it everywhere
He continued:
Urges Fair Dealing
"Watever we do, let us deal
fairly with the voters and let
them know what we mean to
do If successful. Then no charge
will lie against us that we OBJ
tanned our victory by false pre-
lenses"
This was regarded as a direct
thrust at some Southern dry
leaders who are advocating just
what RaSkob deScribed-the adop
ton of a dry platform to placate
the South, and the nomination
of a wet candidate to lure the
wet votes in the populous North
To Stir Up Discussion
The net effect of the national
chairman's new move, it was
agreed today, will be to stir ur
renewed discussion of prohibition
everywhere in Democratic quar-
ters, dry as we'll as wet. That is
exactly what Raskob desires tc
accomplish. He believes that
through discussion of the issue
locally between Democrats will
tend to crystalline sentiment in
those localities, either for OF
against his plan, so that dele
gates elected to the 1882 conven
ton <will go there with their
minds made up.
