DUNN SAYS "NO"Object* to "Washington County's

Compromise on Corporate Taxes.The state auditor, acting under the ad-

vice of the attorney general, has notifiedthe county auditor and the commission-ers of Washington county that they haveexceeded theft- authority in agreeing tocompromise the personal property tax ofthe St. Paul & Suburban Railway com-pany, by accepting payment upon a valu-ation of $46,000, when the value fixed bythe state board of equalization is $100,---000. This is in line with the course beingpursued with the Twin City Rapid Tran-sit company in Ramsey county, where thecommissioners were prevented-from mak-ing a compromise settlement in the samemanner. In his letter the state auditoradvises the Washington county authoritiesto delay matters until the Ramsey dis-trict court reaches a decision, which canbe used as a guide.

The company also made a compromiseproposition to the authorities of Henne-pin county, but inasmuch as the questionwas being tested in Ramsey county bothsides agreed to await developments andwhatever decision is finally reached thereby the courts will serve as a guide to lo-cal officials.

IMPORTANT TO MINN.One Result of American Library

Association Convention.

TRI-STATE WORK IS OUTLINED

For Miniueaota, luwa and Wisconsin—Dr. J. It. Hociuer Talk.* of

the Convention.

The Minneapolis delegates returnedyesterday from the annual convention ofthe American Library association atWaukesha. The Minneapolis contingentincluded Dr. J. K. Hosmer, librarian ofthe public library. Miss Gratia Country-man, assistant librarian of the public li-brary and secretary of the state librarycommission; Miss Lettie Crafts, memberof the Minneapolis library board andassistant librarian of the university li-brary; Miss Clara Baldwin, librarian ofthe state library commission; Mrs. A. C.Ellison, Miss Patton and Mias Todd of thepublic library and Halaejr Wilson of theuniversity book store.

Dr. Hosmer stated that the conventionhad been the most successful of the an-nual gatherings, the attendance beingabout 500, witlh the majority of the dele-gates from the middle west. The meet-ings were heldchiefiy in sections and mostof the papers and discussions were of atechnical nature, valuable and suggestiveto the trained librarian, but rather dryto the unprofessional public. The ques-tion of traveling libraries was muchtalked of and the numerous exhibits inthis line of work suggested many ideas.The gifts to libraries during the year werereported as amounting to $16,000,000,chiefly from Andrew Carnegie.

"No public reference was made to theCarnegie gifts," said Dr. Hosmer, ex-cept the mere mention of the fact. How-ever, amoflg individuals there was &diversity of opinion. Many regarded sucha course as an unmixed blessing, butthere were some who expressed the fearthat, in some instances at least, suchgifts could not be received without aloss of self respect and a weakening ofthe local exertion valuable in extendingthe influence of a library."

The visits to the fine libraries of Mil-waukee and the Wisconsin Historical so-ciety at Madison were classed by Dr.Hosmer among the important and delight-

ful features of the convention. Dr.Hosmer and Miss Countryman were thespecial guests of the staff of the Mil-waukee library who took a special partyof forty of their friends for a ride toWhiteflsh bay and a luncheon, precedingthe library visit.

Miss Countryman gave special attentionto the phases of the convention effectingthe work of the library commissions. Theconvention resulted in one developmentimportant to Minnesota, that was a com-bination among the state library commis-sions of lowa, Wisconsin and Minnesotafor co-operative work. The meetings ofthe representatives of the state commis-sion brought out the fact that the workof these three states is almost identicaland it became plain that they should joinin general work in order to save time andmoney by avoiding a duplication of la-bors.

Tri-State Work.

The joint work already decided upon isthe preparation of monthly lists of thebest books to put into small libraries.This will be done to encourage smalllibraries to buy a few books at a time sothat they may be constantly supplied withfresh books, instead of buying larger in-stallments at long intervals. The ex-pense is practically the same, as dealersmake the same prices to libraries forlarge or small auantities. The cata-loguing cards for all of the books in theselists will be supplied by the commissionsat cost which will be a great saving andwill enable all libraries to haev card cata-logues at a trifling cost. The catalogu-ing will be done by the American Libraryassociation and the congressional librarywill do the printing.

Joint lists of 1,000 books suitable for thenucleus of a permanent library will beprepared. A handbook will also be pre-pared in which clear and definite informa-tion will be given in regard to librarymanagement, care of books, book binding,lists of periodicals suitable for small li-braries, and lists of helps in library. Thishandbook will aim to answer the thousandand one questions asked every day atthe commission offices by inexperiencedlibrarians and library boards.

SEEKING HIS FORTUNELittle Albert Miller Helped on His

Way West.Bare-footed, ragged, with 20 cents in

bis pocket and a determination to ship toMontana to herd sheep, 13-year-old AlbertMiller, a homeless waif, reached Minne-apolis yesterday from Waseca, where hehad been compelled to leave the employof a farmer because he was too severea taskmaster. The little fellow waspicked up by the police, who learnedthat his had been a hard life from Infancy,and a collection was taken up for him.He was given a bath at the central sta-tion, a good meal, was fitted out withsome new clothes, and was given a ticketto Butte. He left the city with a biglunch and a letter to the police of Butte,who will doubtless help the determinedlittle fellow in finding employment herd-ing sheep.

ODR CHANGES ARE GOODFOR NEXT Y. M. C. A. COXVEXTIOJ

iPresident Northrop Extended the In*vitation—it Will Probably '

Be Accepted.

President Cyrus Northrop, of the uni-versity, who has just returned from thejubilee convention of the Y. M. C. A. atBoston, believes that Minneauoliß will getthe next triennial meeting. Dr. Northropkept his promise made to the local dele-gates by addressing the convention in be-half of Minneapolis and is confident thatthe international committee will act fa-vorably. Portland, Ore., is ( the only Im-portant competitor, but 1 the central loca-tion of Minneapolis and its known abilityto take care of conventions are the strongpoints in its favor. : '\u25a0-... i\i

Vale's Bicentennial.

President Northrop gave some detailsof the bicentennial of Yale, which willbegin Sunday, Oct. 20, and last four days.Said he:

"It will begin with a sermon by Rev.Dr. Joseph H. Twitchell of Hartford. Sun-day afternoon there will be an addressby Rev. Dr. George P. Fisher, who hasbeen, for years, professor of ecclesiastical\u25a0history in Yale theological seminary. OnMonday forenoon Thomas Thatcher, Esq.,of New York, a member of the same lawfirm as Thomas B. Reed, will deliver anaddress on the relations of Yale to thelegal profession, and in the afternoon Dr.William H. Welch of Johns Hopkins uni-versity of Baltimore will speak on thesubject of medicine.

Tuesday's program will Include anaddress by myself on 'The Relations ofYale to the Development of the Country

—Especially the Educational Develop-ment' and an address by President DanielC. Gilman of Johns Hopkins university on'The Relations of Yale to the Develop-

ment of Science and Invention.'"On Wednesday, the last day, Associate

Justice David J. Brewer of the UnitedStates supreme court will deliver the gen-eral address and Edmund C. Stedman ofNew York will recite an original poem."

Dr. Northrop believes that a nationaluniversity should be devoted exclusively

to postgraduate work, an institution af-fording graduates o,f other universitiesadditional facilities for studying along

lines to which they intend to devote theirlives.

Man for Dr. Lugger's Place.

In regard to the appointment of Pro-fessor Frederick Washburn to succeed OttoLugger as state entomologist, Dr. Nor-throp said:

"Shortly before I left for the east Isuggested to Dean Liggett of the agricul-tural school and to Governor Van Sant.both of whom, acting with myself, areauthorized to fill the vacancy, the nameof Professor Frederick Washburn, who oc-cupies the chair of entomology in theUniversity of Oregon. I know ProfessorWashburn well, and am confident he isadapted to the work. I do not know, how-ever, whether he would accept the chair."

VERDI A FAVORITEGreat Crowd Enjoys the Red Band's

Special Mglit.

Obviously, special evenings take thefancy of the people -who patronize theBanda Rosea concerts, and who thatspends his summer in town does not?The Verdi program last night attractedan audlnece that almost completely filledthe great space of the Harriet outdoorauditorium and every box was filled withgay parties.

the splendid band was in its best moodand swayed to the baton of Signor Sorren-tino with clocklike precision and beauti-ful harmony. The readings of the leaderwere some of them decidedly novel, butthey were always picturesque and pleas-ing. The impressive Chopin funeralmarch that opened the program was ren-dered with sonorous solemnity. This wasfollowed by the group of three Verdinumbers, which seemed all too short togive the character "of a' Verdi evening tothe program. However, the quality andpopularity of the selections and their ad-mirable interpretation offset this causefor regret. The Verdi numbers werefrom "Rigeletto," the grand duet of theMiserere from "II Trovatore," and aclarinet solo by Signor Tedeschi that re-ceived a hearty encore. .

Although lacking in Verdi numbers, thesecond part of the program equalled ininterest and quality the preceding part

and both the "Cavaleria Rusticana" inter-mezzo and Mandel's "Largo" were re-ceived with delighted applause. The for-mer was a trumpet solo by Signor Rot-tega and is frequently repeated on theprogram, owing to its great popularity.The "Largo" is one of the new offerings

of the band and its stately beauties weremuch appreciated. The program closedwith the "Funiculi Funicula March," ar-ranged by Sorrentino.

Popular music will hold sway to-nightand to-morrow afternoon at Harriet. Twopopular programs of great merit havebeen arranged, the selections being thosewhich have won the most applause inprevious concerts. The music is by nomeans cheap or trashy, but rather suchas appeals to everyone's ear, whether cul-tivated or not, as melting melody orhaunting harmony. The programs in de-tail are as follows:

THAT WALTON PARK FIVE'Twill Be in Demand at Harriet To-

morrow Kvenlng.

The scheme for giving away money atLake Harriet to-morrow evening hascaused considerable stir about the city,

and has resulted in a number of re-markably ingenious plans for securing the$5 orders.

One young man has spent the past twodays training his parrot to yell, "Haveyou got that Walton Park $5?" His par-rot is one of the noisiest ever broughtto the city, and makes life miserable forthe people who live anywhere within fouror five blocks of it. It seems never to tireof screeching. Its owner, realizing itsfailing, has resolved to put it to good ac-count, and save his own voice at thesame time, and the neighbors are re-joicing in anticipation of the promisedrelief.

Another plan that is to be put in prac-tice was exposed on the street this morn-ing when several young men were puttingtheir heads together for a good idea. Oneof them declared loud enough to be over-heard by the passers, that he intended totake an immense megaphone to the lakewith him apd that he would be able toask every one in the crowd at one time,for the $5. He believes his plan per-fectly legitimate and cannot see why heshouldn't receive all the orders. He isconfident that he can't miss.

What Mary Will Say.

That Walton Park "five,"It Jumps like a flea,

I know it's alive,For Ifcave it with me.

NO TIME WAS LOSTTaxpayers' League Acted at the

Earliest Possible Moment

IN THE POLICE RELIEF MATTER

The Fact That City Authorities

Wouldn't Act Had First toBe Established.

While there is general gratification be-cause the Taxpayers' League bids fair tosave $20,000 or more to the city by pre-venting the Police Relief association dis-tribution, some comment has been madeon the fact that the league did not actin the matter until so late. It appears,however, that the action was begun assoon as circumstances indicated that itwas in order for it to be taken up bythe league. The time limit for filingclaims was not very extended, and thelimit was reached before many peoplewere aware of the situation. Had thecity authorities looked after its legitimateinterests there would, even then, havebeen no difficulty, for It is not to bedoubted that the mayor, the city counciland the city attorney were all well awareof Just what was happening, and any oneof them could have instituted the actionwhich would have saved the city fully$20,000. None of them did so.

While the Taxpayers' League was awareof the situation, it could not act until itshould be definitely demonstrated that thecity officials would not do so. Such proofcould not be obtained before the expira-tion of the time limit, and then, of course,under the order of the court, it was toolate to file the claim. All that could bedone was to apply to the court, statingthe circumstances, and asking that thewhole matter be reopened and the leaguebe given the privilege of presenting theclaim of the city. If the court admitsthe league's representatives to a show-ing there is hardly room for doubt butthat they will win their case. But this isonly one of the grounds which the leaguehas to stand upon. Many good lawyersdeclare that the original act convertinga portion of the city's Income into aprivileged fund was clearly unconstitu-tional. But still more positive are theythat there Is no authority in law for adistribution of the fund among membersof the association in the manner in whichhas been contemplated. By the very actcreating the fund it was set aside forthe use and benefit of sick and disabledpolicemen and their families. Lawfully,therefore, the money cannot be used forany other purpose, and the claimants whohave been struggling for the possessionof the money are clearly not entitled to itif the spirit of the law is observed.

It is said that some of the policemenwho are now slated to receive $200 fromthe fund had paid in only $8.

FABR NOT TALKINGThe Journal, He Sa}s, States the

Animus of the Whole Matter.

THOSE CHARGES OF MISCONDUCT

He Believes the Lumbermen AreBacking: Them for Hli Per-

tonal Destruction.« ""—™——————

Special to The Journal..Madison, Wis., July 12.—Joseph R. Fair,

general superintendent of logging of theIndian bureau, whose re-scaling of logsat the Leech Lake and other reservationsaroused ithe ire of the timber cutters, andwas followed by charges of misconduct onthe part of Mr. Parr, is spending a fewdays in Madison. When asked as to the !Washington special dispatch to TheJournal of the 10th, stating in effect;that the lumbermen, when they \u25a0 found ithey could not use Farr, laid a trap forhim into which he walked, Mr. Farr said:

"Ihave only this to say: The question 1

of the robbing of the Indians in questionwill be settled on its merits, and I do notpropose to discuss it in the papers at thistime. The "J, correspondent of TheJournal honestly and correctly statesthe animus of the whole matter when hesays: 'It is hinted quite strongly here(Washington) that certain lumbermen whohad dead and down contracts on the WhiteEarth reservation last winter know moreabout the charges than anybody else.Farr was not conducting his work in amanner to clease them, and, since theycould not use him, they determined todestroy him. ' -;/>,-.

"The Minneapolis Journal," said Mr.Farr, "has been foremost in demandingthat these frauds on the Indians bestopped. The Journal correspondentlast spring made a thorough personal in-vestigation of the conditions at WhiteEarth, and insisted that I be sent thereto make a scale."

A RACE RACE PULLED OFFWhite and Black Paver* Work

Against the Clock.

There are two paving crews at workin Rice street, St. Paul, one composed ofwhite laborers and the other of negroes.Yesterday their work was evenly dividedand there was a lively race in layingasphalt. The whites were decisive win-ners. When the indications showed thatthe colored men were slowe rthan theircompetitors in the strange race, there wasa show of bad blood and several indi-vidual fights between the members of thetwo crews resulted. The blacks havechallenged for another trial of speed,and, since the contractors are getting thebenefit of the races, it is probable thatanother will be held soon.
