STOCK OPENS AT
LYCEUM DEC. 24
VATJGKN--GLA3EB COMPANY WILL
COME FBOM CLEVELAND.
Manager Speers Receives Telegram
Stating that Deal Has Been Closed'
Company Is One of Strongest in the
Country, and Will Present Flays of
High Class.
Developing its plan to make the Ly
ceum theater a "stock" house, the In
ternational Theatrical syndicate has se
cured a high-class company in its en
tirety. The Vaughn-Glaser Stock com
pany, one of the foremost in the coun
try, will be "lifted" as a whole from
Cleveland, where it has been playing
for two years with great success, and
transported to the Lyceum theater as
the permanent occupants of the fhouse.
I. C. Speers, resident manager of the
theater, received a telegram today con
veying this information. The new com
pany will make its first appearance here
on Dec. 24. The theater will close on
Dec. 17 and the week intervening until
the arrival of the stock, company from
Cleveland will be utilized in making re
pairs and giving the house a thoro over
hauling and cleaning from top to bot
tom.
It has not been decided as yet what
play will be selected for the reopening
of the Lyceum, but it will be of the
first rank. The company: which is one
of the strongest in America, is capable
of presenting any of the standard plays.
It has had on its rolls such favorites
as Percy Haswell and Theodore John
son. When Lewis Stone and Ben Jon
son left this city they went directly to
the Vaughn-Glaser company, but wheth
er they are stall with it Mr. Speers
does not know. He has had no infor
mation asto the personnel of the com
pany or its repertory, but will have
full particulars in a few days. Nego
tiations have been pending for some
time with several leading eastern com
panies, but the deal was not closed
until todav.
There is every indication that the
new venture will be a success. Th
location of the theater makes it better
adapted for a high-class stock house
than for vaudeville, and the manage
ment will cater to the best class of the
ater-goeis. They want the best there
is on the boards and the International
Theatrical company is in a position *to
give it to them. Popular prices will
prevail. The scale has not been finally
determined, but will probably be the
same as under the Ferris regime.

TAWNEY TO LEAD
REPUBLICAN SIDE
CHAIRMANSHIP OF APPROPRIA-
TIONS COMMITTEE HIS.
Former Congressman Frank M. Eddy
Says There Is No Doubt of Minneso
tan's Appointment to Succeed Mc-
ClearyTawney Is Favorite of "Un-
cle Joe*'Always" a "Spender."
"There doesn't seem to be any doubt
does there,'' said Frank M. Eddy today,
"about Tawney's being chairman of the
appropriations committee?" His view
or the matter was agreed to and
Mr.Briefthe
Eddy continued. '^That's a great
boost for Jim, but I am not at all sur
prised at it. I know that Speaker Can
note is very fond of him personally
thinks as much of him as if he were his
own son, and also recognizes his ability.
"Now, Tawney is not a man of re
markable attainments, but he is a man
of remarkable push and he deserves his
success. There is an inconsistency in
one respect, however, in a man of his*1
disposition being chairman of the
appropriations committee. The chair
man of that committee is supposed to be
the watchdog of the treasury. He is
supposed to oe economical, whereas I
think everybody in congress knows that
Tawney is a spender. He has always
believed in liberal appropriations and I
don't believe any other man in con
gress could have gotten the big appro
priations for the St. Louis fair that he
obtained. However, the responsibility
of the chairmanship will probably have
the effect on him that responsibility
often has and he may be as keen for
cutting appropriations as 'Old Uncle
Joe Vused to be.
"The appointment of McCleary to
Tawney's place on the ways and means
committee can hardly be regarded as a
compensation for his displacement from
the chairmanship of the appropriations
committee. At this session the ways
and means committee will be just about
as important as the committee on
mines and mining, of which I used to
be chairman, and Tawney's place, to
which McCleary is supposed to succeed,
is third or fourth.
"It is remarkable that the speaker
should have displaced one Minnesota
man with another. If he had gone out
side of the state to find his appropria
tions chairman, the fact would not nave
been so interesting, but the speaker is
evidently inclined to make Tawney the
real leader of the republican side, for
that's what this chairmanship amounts
to at this time and if Tawney makes
good thereas he no doubt will and
the republicans of the first district
show proper appreciation of his success,
he will be Mr. Cannon's successor."
When asked if be thought the trans
position at Washington would have a
serious effect upon Mr. McClearv's
chances in the next election, Mr. Eddy
remarked that McCleary had probably
the best organization of congress
man in the United States1,anyt
tha he was
a man of extraordinary ability and if
he were in sympathy with the people
of his district on the tariff, it would
be impossible to unseat him. McCleary,
however, from being almost a free
trader when he went into congress, is
now the bright and shining example
cited by the American Tariff Protective
league. They point to him as a rep
resentative of an agricultural district
standing for high protection, whereas,
as a matter of fact, McCleary is not
elected because of his high protective
ideas, but in spite of them.
This much I must say, however, for
McClearv," said Mr. Eddy, I admire
his consistency. He is a standpatter
all the timein Mankato as well as in
Washingtonwhich is more than can
be said of some congressmen that I
know.'' "Think" Hoff Gives You Free Collars.

ADJUDGED A CHILD
Peter Biggs Gets Drunk So Often That
He /Will Be Watched.
Peter Biggs has been arrested for
drunkenness so often that the courts have
decided that he is a child and unable
to take care of himself.
Biggs, who appears in police court reg
ularly, was there again, today and Judge
Smith refused to listen to his stories of
temptation.
"You have shown us that you have
not arrived at the age of manhood, even
tho you are thirty years old," said- th
court, "and I am going to put you in
charge of the Humane society, which
makes a business of caring for children
who cannot take care of themselves."
For a year Biggs will have to report
frequently to S. L. Van Etten of the
society and tell how well he is keeping
his promises.
DESERTS HER HUSBAND
Mrs. Hastings Takes 6-Year-Old
Daughter and Flees.
J. Hastings, 2311 Western avenue, has
asked the police to look for his wife ancr
6-year-old daughter who, he believes, ran
away with another man last night.
He says he awoke this morning to find
the house deserted, save for himself, and
many small valuables were missing. His
wife, he says, has been treating him
coolly for some time and seemed to be
stow all her affection on their boarder.
He did not suspect, however, that she
would run away and was taken com
pletely by surprise^ Hastings says that
Christianson recently built a house and
that he loaned him several hundred dol
lars to complete it. The manner in
which the "boarder repaid him doubles
his chagrin.

LEGAL BATTERIES
ATTACK THE LAW
ARGUMENT ON ,INHERITANCE
TAX CASE IS TOMORROW.
Counsel for Estates That Are Held Up
Point to Alleged Fatal Flaws in the
Law, Making It UnequalAttorney
General Urges Interpretation off Leg
islature's Intent.
An array of legal talent will face
Attorney-General Young tomorrow,
when he appears before the supreme
court to uphold the constitutionality
of 1903 inheritance tax law.more
attacking the law have been
filed by counsel for four estates that
come under its provisions. The John
Martin estate is represented by Belden,
Hawley & Jamison, the J. C. Oswald
estate by A. D. Smith, the Paul D.
Ferguson estate of St. Paul by How,
Butler & Mitchell, and the "V Simpson
estate of Winona by L. L. Brown. I
is understood that* the main oral argu
ment will be made by Jared How.
while Attorney-General Young will
make the argument for the state.
A noveL point is raised in the St.Here
Paul brief. The law provides that
$10,000 of each beqtiest shall be exing."
empt, and that the tax shall be only on
the amount in excess over the exemp
tion. It then says that "when such
valuation is over $10,000 and less than
$50,000, the rate shall be 1% per cent
thereof." The counsel urges that this
exempts another $10,0,OQ in addition to
the $10,000 already provided for. andrecommended
that the amount .excess of $10,000
may not be taxes unless it is over
$10,000, thus exempting a total of
$20,000. The attorney-general main
tains that the words *rover
$10,00 0
and" are surplusage and that the
plain'intent of the legislature was tothe
tax all in excess of $10.00Q. The defeverfood,
cision in the case may hinge entirely
on the decision as to the legislative in
tent.
The main contention against the law
is that the progressive rate is contrary
to the equality provision of the consti
tution, because a bequest of $49,999,
paying 1% per cent, would net more
to the heir than an estate of $50,000
paying a 3 per cent tax.
The attorney-general replies that
such inequality is allowed by the clause
in the constitution which says that an
inheritance tax may .be graded or pro
gressive. This was passed to qualify
the* general requirement of equality,
and so long as the tax operates equally
on members of the same class it is con
stitutional. In support of this he cites
the decisions of the Illinois supreme
court and the supreme court of the
United States, upholding the Illinois
inheritance tax law.

and allied companies tdda^ 'formally ac
cepted the city ordS'nitooe permitting

Superior avenues, which was the cause
of threats to abandon the elaborate
trackage plans contemplated, and which
was attached to the ordinance as onegal,

The formal acceptance of the ordi
nance cldses a loDg controversy. The
railroads refused to miild the bridges as
required by the ordinance and threat
ened to abandon their plans for the
trackage improvement.
By accepting the ordinance the
twodition.'
companies agree to construct and main

avenue. The bridge at Laurel avenue
will be extended 200 feet and must also
be maintained. The ordinance as fin
ally passed and as accepted today was

mavor Nov. 28. The increased trackage
will be a great benefit to the railroad
companies interested and to freight

CUSTOM GUTTERS DINE

FULL OF PRUNES
PROF. GREEN SAYS ORCHARDISTS
PRUNE'TOO MUCH.
He Tells State Horticulturists That Too
Frequent Cutting Kills More Trees
Than Any Other AgencyAll Fruit
Raisers Are Predicting a Big Yield
Next Year.
Professor S. B. Green of St. Anthony
Park provided the feature of today's
session of the Minnesota State Horti
cultural society when he declared that
apple trees in Minnesota and Iowa
die from too frequent pruning than from
any other eause. His statement, fol
lowing as it did a recommendation for
more pruning, created profound sur
prise.
"We want to get away from Massa
chusetts and New England plans of
apple-raising," he said. "The condi
tions in Minnesota and Iowa demand
that we evolve our own horticulture,
and until we break away from these
eastern traditions and influences our
advancement will not be up to par.
we have more sunlight and less
shelter and do not need so much prun-
Blight, that foe that has stolen hun

tle to defend himself. The blow tore
off the rim of his .stiff, felt hat andapples
laid open his left eyebrow with an ugly
gash. In the struggle Crandall *s watch
slipped out of his pocket and was. se
cured by one of the trio, while the other
two went thru his clothes and got what
money he had. They then left tneir vic
tim on the sidewalk and made off.
Crandall managed to make his way to
the entrance of the Star saloon, on Nic
ollet near Fourth, where a colored por
ter found him and called others, who
cared for him. He- was in a uemicon-'
scious condition from the effects of the
blow for some time, but finally, with as
sistance, made his way to the Nicollet.

that th progress
of blight could be checked. Mr. Cook
thinning out of orchards
and Mr. Spickerman the slitting of in
fected limbs and trunks. Blight, Mr.
Cook said, bore the same relation to
apple trees that yellow fever does to
humans, and that the conditions under
which the germs of blight thrive are
same that give existence to yellow
heat and moisture. Bees
and insects, he declared, are the car
riers of the germs. Mr. Cook said that
insects will not frequent an orchard
which has been opened for free circula
tion of air, and in addition to driving
away the carriers of the plague the
removal of hothouse conditions in or
chards will serve to drive out the blight
itself.
Mr. Spickerman suggests the opening
of the bark on affected trees for the
free circulation of fresh air. He illus
trates his plan of combating the blight
with limbs from his own trees, and his
remedy met with approval.
Another subject of great interest to
horticulturists and the state itself was
treated by A. D. Leech of Excelsior.
He advanced the opinion that peaches
cannot be raised in Minnesota with
profit from a commercial standpoint.
Lack of shelter, he said, was the prin
cipal difficulty. He urged, however,
that farmers adopt peach trees to raise
fruit for their own table, stating that
he had had marked success in his exthe
periments.
Big Fruit Crop Predicted.
If the predictions of the vice presi
dents who reported to the society to
day are upborne, Minnesota will raise
a bumper fruit crop next year. Condi
tions, according to almost unanimous
reports from the various districts rep
resented, promise more than ever be
fore in the history of the state. Even
cherries and strawberries, which were
almost a total failure this year, are ex
pected to yield heavy crops in 1906.
The society attacked grocers yester
day for alleged combination in restraint
of trade. It was charged on the floor
of the convention that the grocers of
the larger cities have been back of the
ordinances to license peddling prod
uce, in restraint of the privileges of
farmers and gardeners. In resolutions
condemning such combinations as ille
the people of the state are asked to
support the amendment adopted by the
last legislature permitting farmers and
gardeners to peddle their produce in the
citios without paying a prohibitive
license.

line, had his annual overcoat party last
night. This much-stolen garment is
again in the hands of a third party.
A year ago Mr. Olmsted stepped out of
his office a moment. A few days later
police were able to return to him
the overcoat which disappeared in his
absence. Altho a winter's wear has re
movedfro
newness of appear-
the coat Mr. Olmsted still
prizes it and is hoping that it will ape
the cat, and come back. Hereafter,
when Mr. Olmsted steps across the hall
to the office of Secretary and Treasurer
Clement, or saunters to the lower floor
to converse with Harry Lewis of the
passenger department, he has promised
himself that he will wear his overcoat,
cap, glovesf muffler, overshoes, leaving
nothing for vandals. Mr. Olmsted thinks
the police ought to recognize the over
coat much more easily this year than
last.
