The M. Fhilipsborn company of Chi

New Front to Be Built.
Mr. Philipsborn said yesterday in
New York:
"Yes, it is true, we have decided to
locate in Minneapolis. The prosperity
of the northwest has attracted this firm
to this new field of operation. We con
sider that Minneapolis is ripe to support
a women's specialty outer garment es
tablishment, on a large scalea store
entirely different from the kinds that
are now there.
"Our New York establishment at 12
West Twenty-third street, is a good ex
ample of what we intend to do in Min
neapolis. Of course, this cannot be
done without expending a large amount
of money. This firm is prepared to ex
pend from $50,000 to $75,000 on the
quter improvements and the inner ar
rangements of this new building, in or
der to make it the ladies' store par ex*
cellence.
"In equipping this building we in
tend to patronize home industry only
and give all our contracts for fixtures,
furniture, mirrors, carpets, etc., to Min
neapolis firms and only Minneapolis
union labor will be employed in build
ing this new establishment.
"The Philipsborn firm has been es
tablished for nineteen years. Its main

facturing business in cloaks and suits
is conducted, also a large catalog busi

AUTOISTS OPPOSE
SECOND TAX LEVY
Mt
MAY DISPUTE CONSTITUTIONALI-
TY OF WHOLE LAW.
sr
Minneapolis Club Members Declare It
Unjust to Demand Second License
Fee Thru City Clerk, and Threaten
to Carry Opposition into CourtsSay
Community Is Wronged.
Minneapolis automobilists are prepar-i
ing to resist the enforcement of that
portion of the new code, which directs
that license fees shall be collected and
numbers issued by the city clerk in
stead of the state boiler inspector.
City Clerk L. A. Lydiard is said to
have served notice upon the automo
office and each for new
Say
over
new
owners, who already have licenses and
numbers issued by the boiler inspector,
are indignant at' this second tax, ana
the Minneapolis Automobile club will
take the case up to carry it into the
courts if necessary.
It is possible that the club's attor
neys may go further than attacking
the provision of the new code and call
the constitutionality of the entire
license system into question. The
round for such an attack would be
hat the license tax on automobiles
savors of class legislation, in that it
imposes a special burden upon one part
of the public.
Pointing out the unfairness and ab
surdity of the new law, A. E. Paegel,
treasurer of the Automobile club, said:
Causes Confusion. He Says.
Jaeii tb.e state first wvporeed, license
fees upon the automobilists we objected
that the tax was an unfair discrimina
tion against one class of vehicles and in
favor of another, but submitted because
the fine was small and we understood
that it would have" to be paid but once.
Then, too. the system of consecutive
numbers thruout the state had many
advantages.
"Under the new law, which Mr.
Lydiard is trying, to enforce, we are
made pay a second fee, and numbers
begin at 1 in every city. What good
is such a system of numbering Sup
pose the car No. 4 runs down a man
somewhere in the country. Does the
owner live in Minneapolis, St. Paul or
Stillwater? Nobody can tell. The
wrong man is in danger of punishment
or the public is in danger of losi ng
some of the protection the law is in
tended to give.
"The automobile club has lawyers
who look after all its legal business,
and there is no doubt but that they will
make a hard fight. As long as they
have to resist this second tax they
probably will go after the entire license
system which has been imposed upon
the automobile and does not touch any
other vehicle."

VIOLENT COUGH
PUNCTUBES LDNG
To arise in the morning, cough vio
lently from no apparent cause, and with
the effort puncture a lung^ is not an
every-day occurrence in a big city. The
occurrence is unusually rare when the
victim is absolutely sound, without any
contributing cause in the shape of a bad
cold, or lung affection of any sort.

Predominant feature of the

jus been called upon to care
of a case in which the left lung was
punctured. The air escaped into the
chest cavity and forced the heart out
of place against the left side. The
treatment is being successful, the lung
is healing and the heart is getting back
into its normal state.
The doctors say the case is an un
usual one. The voung man has been a
trained athlete. He arose, coughed
sharply, the paroxysm being increased
in force by the physical strength of the
patient. In a state of shock he was
removed to the hospital, and when the
state of collapse permitted examination
it was found that the lung tissue had
been torn, the pleura ruptured and the
air was escaping into the vacuum cavity
which provides room for lung expan
sion.
The lung is healing rapidly, the air
is being taken care of without a per
forative operation and the patient can
move about. Physicians have taken
great interest in the case, and have ex
amined the patient with interest.

FEES LOPPED OFF
BY REVISED CODE
JUDGES OF PROBATE AND COUN-
TY AUDITORS HIT.
Hennepin County System Applied to the
State at Large, Except as to Sheriffs
and Clerks of CourtOther Officers
Limited to Their Salaries Hereafter.
Another interesting discovery was
made in the code today by R. A. Stone,
assistant attorney general. The pro
visions of Hennepin county's salary
law for county officers have peon made
to cover the state, and will deprive
county auditors and judges of probate
of all fees and other sources of revenue
that have previously helped out their
salaries. Fees given to judges of pro
bate for certified copies, per diem al
lowances to county auditors for attend
ing board meetings, and all such extras,
must hereafter be turned into the coun
ty treasury each month. The law is
stated in section 2121 of the code, and
applies to all county officers unless
otherwise provided for. The code else
where continues tne*"fee system as ap
plied to sheriffs and clerks of court, but
fees of all others will be cut off. Judges
of probate are especially hard hit.
The opinion of ^the attorney general *s
department is b^ing prepared. It is
possible that the fees are cut off in
Ramsey county, qut that is still to be
determined. The ^provision has been in
force for Hennepin, and now applies
to every other county, with the possible
exception of Ramsey.
TRIALOF YOUNG MACHINE
TWO USED SUCCESSFULLY TODAY
I N THE ST. PAUL OITY PRI-
MARIES. St. Paul is making its first trial of
voting machines today. Only one make
was used, the Dean ballot machine, and
it was found to work satisfactorily.
Voting was done in the new-fangled
way at two polling places, one at Laurel
and Mackubin streets, in the seventh
ward, a choice residence district, and
the other at University and Mackubin,
in the eighth ward, a precinct having
a large foreign element.
Trial machines wqre set up across
the street from each voting place for
voters to practice on, but they needed
very little instruction, and voted at
trbie rate of about one a intiimte- Vot
ers were never required to wait long
for their tjirn.
The machines wer arranged to com
ply with the-primare
law. Th voter
could make his choice between a repub
lican or a democratic ballot, and under
the law this choice of parties had to be
made openly and was registered. After
this choice was made, the republican
could only vote for candidates on his
-own ticket, and the democrat could
not cross over and vote for republicans.
When* it comes to the general election
the machines will be changed so the
voters can "scratch" all they please.
Those who tried the new method dur
ing the early part^ of the day were
much pleased with it.

in August, the office of commander-in
chief should go to this city. Accord
ingly some time ago a vote was taken
among the members of the ten Minne
apolis posts^as to their choice. Levi
Longfellow 'of the James Bryant post
was chosen by an overwhelming major
ity. His name will be presented for
the position of commander-in-chief by
the Minneapolis posts and probably no
other candidate will appear.
Colonel J. A. Everett of Fairmont
is the only candidate in the field for
the position of senior Trice commander.
Dura Corbin of Little Falls is the only
candidate for junior vice commander.
Both have had the G. A. E. posts thru
out the state canvassed by their re

appears certain.

Stanton, who is a carpenter, had been
brooding over his failure to secure em

life.
Tho his wife was hanging up clothes
in the yard not ten feet distant from
the shed, she did not hear the shot.
She discovered her husband lying in
a pool of blood some time later when
she went to lock the shed door. A
physician from the Mollen hospital,

TEST PAVING HERE

'SK*
WHOLE* NATION CONCERNED IN
HK, TRIALS TO BE MADE.,~
Street Will Be Placed at Disposal of
O. L. Hill, Government Agent, fof
Determining Best Wood for Paving
PurposesBlock Will Be Paved and
Closely Watched.

C. L. Hill, of the forest service of the
department of agriculture, who istin the
city this week, helcka conference today
with Assistant City Engineer E. R. But
ton over the paving test which the gov
ernment will make in Minneapolis this
fear. He announced that he had per
ected arrangements with lumbermen
for the delivery of various kinds of
wood to be used in the experiment, and
had also arranged with the creosoting
companies to prepare the wood with
creosote.
The city already has agreed to turn
over one block of street for the experi
ment and to assume the expense of lay
ing the blocks. It is practically decided
that Nicollet avenue between Firs^and
Second streets will be placed at "the*
disposal of the government.
"We consider this the most important
woodpaving test ever conducted,'' said
Mr. Hill today to The Journal.
Minneapolis has been selected for test
ing northern and western wood, which
may be suitable for paving, and New
York will be the place for experiment
ing with eastern and southern wood.
Tests to Be Thoro.
"We intend to go into this matter as
thoroly and scientifically as possible.
Tte experiments -will Ve confined to
wood in commercial use and which can
be obtained in quantities sufficient to
make it available for street paving. In
the Minneapolis experiment we will use
Norway and jack pine, hemlock, tama
rack and birch from Minnesota and
Wisconsin. Washington fir, western
larch and Georgia pine. We expect to
demonstrate by actual trial which va
riety of wood is the most desirable and
economical material for street paving
in this latitude.
"It is the belief of many paving ex
perts that wood pavement is the com
ing material, and that it will eventually
supersede most other kinds now in use.
In that event the cutting of timber for
paving purposes will be one of the great
industries of the northwest. It is im
possible thta some -woods now of little
commercial value may be found to be
particularly well adapted for paving
purposes.
"The experimental block probably
will be laid next May and after it is
down, will be carefully observed and
measured from time to time.''

OMISSION OF HENNEPIN
A CLERICAL BLUNDER
It was either the editor of the re
vised code or the printers who omitted
Hennepin, Houston and Hubbard coun
ties from the list of the state's terri
torial divisions. W. P. Boberts, who
did some hard work in committee on
the code, visited the office of the secre
tary of state today and found that the
omission was not made in the enrolled
bill passed by the legislature., The list
is'complete in that copy, and the three
counties were dropped either in copy
*WK the bill or in setting it up.
JThe attorney general's department
Timds that the three counties still exist
tho not in the code, as the laws creating
them are excepted from the list of those
repealed.
MUST OBSERVE RULES
Whoopingcough is prevalent in the
public schools and is the subject of a
circular letter sent out today to the
principals of the schools by Superin
tendent C. M. Jordan. The health de
partment has complained that its rule
requiring that all pupils afflicted with
the malady must be excluded from the
schools until they recover has not been
carefully observed.
While there is a tendency to make
light of whooping cough, it is not a
trivial matter, as death is not an un
natural result. Considerable care
should be exercised against permitting
its spread, and while no quarantine is
enjoined, the health department re
quires that children having the disease
must be barred from the public schools,
and also those fr om homes in "which the
disease exists. Dr. Jordan has in
structed the principals to see that these
rules are enforced.
TALKS ON CLOTHES
Miss Elizabeth A C. White, president
of the Dressmakers' Protective associ
ation, will conduct a fashion exhibition,
the first in Minneapolis, at the Auditor
ium for three days, beginning Thursday
In this exhibition Miss White will show
advance models from the Parisian dress
makers and will lecture upon correct
dress and hygienic methods of wearing
the corset
Her lectures and talks will be illus
trated by living models who will pose in
the costumes under discussion There
are several series of these tableaux, in
cluding a bride and bridesmaids, dinner,
a race party, afternoon, business, and an
outing series These lectures will be
open to all ladies who care to attend.
CAED OF THANKS

Laura Upton, who passed away at St.
Barnabas hospital Sunday morning
after an unsuccessful operation which
took place last Friday, wish to extend
their sincere sympathy to the bereaved
husband, aged father and mother, four

BOOKS
Miss

The freshness and tender sim
plicity of Roy Rolfe Gilson'a
works have won for him a large
circle of readers. Readers of "In
the Morning Glow" and "When
Love Is Young" know the potent
charm of this perennially refresh
ing fiction, Mr. Orison's portrayal
of little Bertram has the same sim
plicity and charm that have made
his former books so popular. The
pictures of village life are ex
quisitely shaded, and Miss Prim
rose's romance adds a touch of
sentiment and humor to a story of
delightful originality. I
