driven by regulations* at tae*h
exi$t
ing institutious to seek oufe the baby
farjns. I
Br. Martha Qt. Eipleyi speaking frm
her, experience at Maternity hospital,
'taktes exception to this criticism.
She points out that at the hospital poor
patients are cared for and shielded
more carefully than at home. The baby
farms cannot and dare not command the
services of reliable physicians. On the
problem of caring for unfortunate
mothers, Dr. Ripley says:
'Baby farms are certainly an evil,
but not a necessary one,' and should
not be tolerated in this or any* other
community. They are carried on by
vicious, unscrupulous persons, whose
sole object is to make money out of
the sin and sorrow of unfortunate girls.
Ruined health and lives result, as the
criminal cases now on trial here" tes
tify, Little babies left on doorsteps and
street corners every kind of weather,
dead babies taken out of rivers and
ponds and found in all manner of
places, babies buried, whoBe death is
never reported, babies given to un
worthy persons,'who are neither mor
ally nor financially to care
them-these are,vsomeablfe
the resultsfor of
'baby farming.'
"This city does not need 'baby
farms' nor does it need any more insti
tutions than it now has for the care of
its"
illegitimate mothers.
1 I does need, and I understand
will have a home for incorrigable girls.
I would like to suggest the establish
ment of a penal institution for the resi
dence of illegitimate fathers it would
help the morals of any city.
''The results in foreign ountries
show that the work of saving these girls
cannot be well done in large general
hospitals nor maternity wards in
city hospitals They must be oared for
in private Philanthropic institutions
conducted iirthe best possible ^manner,
where not only the physical welfare of
the girls is looked after, but their moral
and spiritual as "well, and kept for such
length of time as will enable them to go
out and become a blessing and not a
curse to the world.
'What shall be done with the
child?' Sometimes it is best that the
baby should go with its mother. But
oftener it is best for both mothed and
child that it be given in'to some child
less home, where it will be loved and
receive such care and training as it
could not otherwise have. The find
in'g of homes for babies requires care
ful discrimination. Maternity hospi
tal babies are sent out on trial for sev
eral months Before adoption, and if at
any time, or for any reason, tlie foster
parents cannot or do not wish to care
for them any longer, the agreement is
that they are to be returned to the
hospital, even after adoption, thus pre
venting their becoming nomeless waifs
later.
"Maternity hospital in its! eighteen
years of existence has cared for be
tween 3,000 and 4,000 mothers and
babies. Its large and beautiful grounds
give ample possibilities for future
needs.
The work done by the Bethany home
and the Florence Crittenden home is
well known in our city. All these in
stitutions are carrying lieavy burdens
and need the sympathy and encourage

LAKE STREET POLES
MAY HAVE TO STAY
It looks as if the telephone and elec
tric poles will be left on Lake street
spite of the active efforts of the
aldermen of the eighth, seventh and
twelfth wards to get them on another
street. The determined fight put up by
the residents along Thirty-first street
against transplanting the pole lines to
their thorofare blocks the agreement
for their lemoval from Lake street.
The company says that Twenty-ninth
street has all the wires it can stand.
The latest proposal Is to establish the
width of Lake street at forty-nine feet
instead of fifty feet, which will give a
space of one and one-half feet between
the curb and the sidewalk for the poles.
SUIT IS AVOIDED
Journeymen Plumbers Will Get Snp
plies for Their Shop.
To avoid litigation it is said that the
plumbers' supplv house will furnish the
new shops fitted out by the plumbers'
union with supplies.
When the trouble began, April 1, be
tween the master plumbers and the
union, John Bogan, the latter's business
agent, decided to start a shop to be
run by the union. A shop was secured,
but the supply houses refused to sell
goods to any tout master plumbers. The
union decided to sue. If the supply
houses furnish the goods the 110 mem
bers of the union will immediately be
gin work for themselves.

More Permits for April Than Any
Previous MonthVolume In
creased 80 Per Cent.
April breaks all records in the build
ing industry of Minneapolis.
There were 671 permits issued. The
previous high mark was in May, 1904,
when 640 permits were issued.
The value of the buildings also ex
ceeds all former records, with the sin^
gle exception of December, 1888, when
permits were issued for the courthouse
and city hall, the Guaranty building
and two other large office buildings.
The structures started this month are
estimated to cost $1,573,632. Compared
with April of last year, when there
were issued 620 permits for buildings to
cost $898,000, the increase is about 80
per cent.

my life."
She then testified that she was not
at home on two of the dates, given by

GAIETY OF HATIOBS
AT 0" ARMORY TODAY
Nations are holding high carnival in
the university armory today for the
benefit of the Woman's league and the?
woman's building. The big hall has
been transformed with flags that flut
ter from the rafters and booths, pre
sided over by damsels in the quaint
costumes of the country they repre
sent. The -visitors -were given pass
ports on entering the hall, which en
titled them to visit any or all of the
booths. So they roamed at will from
the Pueblo Indian adobe hut, where
grape juice, Indian cakes and popcorn
regaled them, to Norway, -wxth its fish
pond, or to Holland ana its windmills',
or stopped in the German garden for
a cup of coffee before venturing into
France, Spain, Italy or Greece. Archie
Johnston in plaid and kilt played the
bagpipes Scotland Marceta and
Grecehen told fortunes in Bohemia a
Punch and Judy show was an attrac
tion in Ireland, and the feature in
Egypt, where Cleopatra presided, was
shrouded in mystery. The Japanese
tea garden proved a favorite place to
rest and compare travel notes. I the
center of the hall, at a pagoda draped
in the university maroon and gold, the
Woman's Magazine was for sale. The
magazine is larger than last year and
is much more pretentious.
The university band^ gave a program
this afternoon, and living pictures, rep
resenting the different countries, were
shown in a smilax-wreathed frame by
a group of popular college' girls. The
entertainment will be repeated this
evening at 7:30.

fare to Lake MinnetonkaThe Work
Is to Begin at Once.
Within six weeks the Lake street
road, connecting West Lake street at
the city limits with the road running
thru til. Louisa Park to Lake Minne
tonka, will be macadamized, and made
into one of the* most perfect roads in'
Hennepin county.
Six weeks ^ago the county commis
sioners examined the road and decided
that work must be done upon it at
once. An agreement was made with
the village of St. Louis Park whereby
it was to prepare the road for macadam
to be put on by the county. I was
decided by the commissioners to ex
pend $3,000 in this work and bids for
the work were advertised for three
weeks Ago ill $ids will be opened at
the pommissioners' meeting next Mon
day, the contract let and work begun
at once.
Outside of the $3,000 to be spent
the county on^this contract, the com
missioners will furnish all the crushed
rock, and will put in all of the culverts
and tilin'gj and will furnish, the steam
roller i put the macadam in shape.
The village of St. Louis Park will pre
pare the road at an expense of about
$1,500 and will pay whatever the ma
cadam costs excess of $3,000.
The worst piece of this road is the
eighty rods west of the bridge, and
this is within the city limits, and will
have to be repaired by the city.
Altogether* there will be spent upon
the Lake street road this year bet-ween.
$6JS00 and $7,000.
The Lake street road is only one of
the 131 county roads to be kept in
shape by commissioners.
is an1
annuathe appropriation of butThere $35,
OOO, -with which to build and repair
about 300 bndges and keep all roads
in shape. This amount is hardly suf
ficient to keep the bridges in proper
shape, and the commissioners assert
that they are doing everything that
can be done to keep the roads in the
condition they should be in.

MAJEGOO AGENTS
Commercial Club Rendered Valuable
Assistance in Auditorium Project.
The last issue of the Commercial

ment relative to the insurance obtained
by the club committee in furtherance
of the Auditorium project. After the
acceptance of the offer of the North-
weBtein National Iiife Insurance com
pany to build the Auditorium if citi
zens would take insurance with the cmo
pany to the aggregate amount of
$2,000,000, the committee appointed by
the Commercial club, turned over to the
insurance company $25,217.19. This
amount, at $30 a thousand, covered
$840,500 of the amount requested.
The premiums for the second year
were also covered by notes given to the
company. I addition $9,253.83 in
cash was collected and turned over, be
ing equivalent to $205,500 of insurance
Thus the committee has furnished the
company $l,04j5,000 insurance.
In addition cash pledges amounting
to $2,515, or $55,000 in insurance, have
not been collected and pledges to take
insurance aggregating $185,000 are
pending. This makes, completed and
pending, $1,286,000 of insurance. While
this was mucli }ess than asked for toy
the company it is a creditable showing
for the committee, in view of the oppo

PEOPLE HATE TO MY
WHEN GETTING GIFTS
"It seems curious, but the fact is
that the only kick we have from peo
ple against paying customs duties come
from people who receive gifts," said
C. R. Cooley, deputy collector of cus
toms, today. People who buy articles
and the large importers pay the duty
without a word unless they think that
there has been a clerical error in figur
mjf or appraising. If a. person, jrets a
present, nowever, they never want to
pay the duty, and a good share of our
time is spent in explaining \yny thflj
have to.
