COUNTY COMMISSIONERS FHB-
PAEE FOR GREATER NEEDS.
Total Necessary Expenditures for 1907
Placed at $513,424, or $31,962 More
Than the Figures for 1906Scott Es
timates the Revenues of the County.
Hennepin county expects to have
$31,962.72 more to spend in 1907 than
was appropriated in 1906. The board of
county commissioners today fixed the
amount of the county'B expenses for the
coming year at $513,424 and levied that
amount upon the taxable property of
the countv. The amount was fixed after
a long debate* and is based upon figures
prepared by County Auditor Hugh R.
Scott.
The chief increase comes in the road
and bridge fund appropriation, which
was rained fioni $50,495, the 1906 fig
ures, to $80,000, for next year. The
extra appropriation has been made
neoessarv by the exceptionally high
water in the creeks and ditches this
year. Miles of road and many bridges
have b*en washed out or ruined, and
County Surveyor "W. 12. Stoopes, ^flatted,
for an appropriation of $105,000, and
showeJ how that amount would, be
lower per mile of road than either the
Eamsey or the St. Louis county appro
priation. The board compromised by
making an $80,000 .appropriation.
There will be no election expenses in
the eomin gyear and the $10,000 spent*
for that purpose this year has been dis
tributed among the other funds where
growth or changes have made more
money necessary.

BABY'S DEATH A MYSTERY
SALVATION ARMY OFFICERS CAN
NOT THROW LIGHT ON WOR-
THTNGTON CASS.
Local Salvation Army officers oan
shed no liffht on the identity of the
infant whose body, wrapped one of
tue blankets from the rescue home
St. Paul, was found in Lake Okabena,
Nobles county. Ensign Miller, who
passes on Minneapolis applicants for
admission to the home, said today that
he was not in a position to give infor
mation on the mystery.
"The red initial 'M. B.' worked in
one corner of the blanket stand for
'maternity room/ and show that it
came from the home." said Adjutant
Earle,1me matron in cnarge, today," but
we have located all the boy babies
two months old, this proves conclusive
ly that it was not born in the home.
While that blanket evidently came
from the home, it is certain that it was
not provided for this baby. I have no
idea how it could have come into the
fhe
iossession of the unnatural parent of
murdered infant."
The condition of the corpse when
found indicates that the child died of
starvation and was thrown into the
lake for concealment Several Minneap
olis and one Chicago paper were found
with the "body and on this clue the au
thorities are looking for the parents in
Minneapolis. The people of Worthing
ton, near which the body was found,
are inclined to disregard this theorv
as the daily papers are carried to all
parts of the state. The general opinion
is that the mother lives in that neigh
borhood and left the child at some ex
posed place, expecting that it would be
found and cared for and re
turning to find it dead of starvation,
became frightened and threw the body
into the lake.
SWELLING CRANIUMS,

There was a lull during the graduat

mysterious sounds.
"What in the world is that noise?"
gasped the old lady the front seat.
''Don't be alarmed, madam,'' assured
.the professor. "That noise is made
by the bursting hats on the heads of
some of tho graduates."

CLASH OVER A BAND
Union Musicians Have a Protest
Markee Band.
on
Tho the Minneapolis trades unions
have for the most part been friendly1
to
the Grand Armyt encampment, and
many have subscribed liberally to the
entertainment fund, the musicians'
union ia about to enter a protest. The
Markee band of Quinoy, 111., has been
declared an unfair or expelled band,
and if it is to, play in the G. A S
parade Minneapolis musicians will By
they cannot.
Word has been received by the Min
neapolis Musicians' union from the
Quincy union calling attention to the
fact that the Markee band has been
expelled from the union and that the
union rules require union bands to
refuse to march in any parade witjti ex
pelled bands. Some time ago the Min
neapolis union, numbering 180, an
nounced that it would be willing to
play -with non-union bands that came
W with posts and departments. This,
however, will not apply to expelled
bands formerly in the union. A cnarge
brought against the Markee band is
that it played at St. Louis for more
than the union scale and refused to
turn the difference into the union treas
ury.
The situation is one oveT which Min-
HAetitobUs veterans of the G. A. B, com
^nittees have no jurisdiction. The Mar
kee band is composed of a veteran, his
wife and their eleven sons, and is one
of the test kno-wn family bands in the
country The band will be sent to Min
neapolis as escort for the Quincy posts
by the Quincy Chamber of Commerce,
which will hire the band and pay its
expenses while in the city.
There is reason to believe that there
will be "bands to burn" or "beat
the band" in the city encampment
week. Two Minneapolis bands and five
St Paul bands have registered as avail
able and can be hired by posts or de
partments wishing escorts for the pa
rade or other gatherings of the week.

effect that validations of railroad

The statement has not only stirred

tive committee, but has also called

"There is absolutely no truth in the
statement," said Spcretary Wallace G.
Nye today. "Validation may be made
at any time on the day of departure.
Validation offices will be open from
6:80 a.m. to 11 p.m. every day during
the encampment. The time between
these hours covers the time of depart

there will be as little trouble and delay
as possible in the validation of tick

WIDE TiRE~rXAW
NEEDED
MOVEMENT ON 1'OOT TO PROTECT
NEW PAVEMEttTT PROM WHEELS
THAT 3BVCTXJW I'R.
i
"There is no rpaso why the city
council cannot pa as a wide-tire ordi
nance, at least noiie that I know of,
said City Attorne Frank Healy. The
supreme courts in
several states have
decided wide-tire I pleasures in different
ways, but there is mo reason why such
a measure, if reasonable in its pro
visions, and if sho vra to be of benefit
to the roads, should not be passed."
In view of this statement from Mr.
Healv it is expect ad that one of the
aldermen, presumably J. H. Duryea,
will introduce a mefaBure prescribing
the minimum width, for tires, particu
larly on dray an? traffic wagons.
People who pay sou **5'attention to road
improvements say ^JShAt -ordinarily traf
fic wagonB are prwVi\oea with tiree that
are not wide enough., 0. M. Lorinjj sayB
he saw a heavily-lw tided wagon, carry
ing at least two tons a,nd possibly more,
which had wheels or jfyfrjlwo inches wide.
They cui into the asphalt pavement,
leaving deep ruts. faach a load -would
aid materially in de si/roying a fine dirt
street*
Now that Minneapolis has the best
paved streets in th country and has
spent thousands of dollars for good
road work, it is tte general opinion
that the movement should be pushed.
No more important? measure could be
passed than a wido-t) re ordinance, say
th good roads peopha. It will be op
osed in many quart |rs but there can
no question as to its merits. Their
adage is,
Wid tires are rcfcd makers:
Narrow tires are rpad breakers."
This means that trrow tires cut up
the roads and tend to make them
"rutty," while wide tires iron the sur
face out and pack ithe material to
gether, there"by aaaistiUip in. making tho
road a good one.

One dollar and fifty cents for each

some of those listing rooms have want

refused to list rooms in order that they

club and those listed with us, many
rooms in the eity will be filled with
Grand Army people, entertained by
their friends. My house will be full
and my rooms are not listed either, and
I know of a great many in the same
position. Besides, there are the hotels
and boarding houses, and the school
houses. Oh. there isn't the slightest
doubt but that Minneapolis can easily
take care of them. And if she can't
there will always be St. Paul, but we
won't have to fall back on St. Paul."
The small eating houses, too, are be
ginning to spring up. One woman went
to the W. E. C. headquarters Saturday
to obtain permission to run a tent eat
ing house down town. There was not
the slightest hesitation, and she was
urged to begin her preparations imme
diately.
Ladies of G. A, R. Busy.
Xiadles of the G. A- It halve made no
canvass of the city, but this has not
prevented their having*-a list in their
office and being able to locate people
from outside of the city. Their lists
are constantly changing, for almost as
soon as the rooms are placed on file a
lettCT is received asking for about sueh
aceommodations. Fully fifty letters a
day are received by Mrs. Zelia McAllis
ter, who has charge of that part of the
work. I is impossible for Mrs. Mc
Allister to make any estimate of the
number they have located, but "we
keep at it and have found nice places
for those asking us," she said.
A few people are ready to charge
$1.50 for each person a night, and 50
cents for breakfast, but that is not the
average price, and few rooms are being
taken at the price. I seems to be un
derstood among thoBe -who are coming
and those who will entertain them here
that $1 each and 25 cents for break
fast is the proper rate, varying with
the location and accommodations.

Service at State Fair GroundsSun
day Is Notable Day to Hundreds Who
Attend MeetingsSpcakon
Men Who Attack Bible.
Dr. A. E. Dixon, the man who has
charmed the audiences at the North
western Bible conference by bis pro
found learning and eloquent sermons,
announced last evening that he has ac
cepted a call to the pastorate of the
Moody church, Chicago and La Salle
avenues. Chicago. He will take the
place of Dr. B. A. Torrey, who will de
vote his attention henceforth to the
affairs of the Moody Bible school at
Northfield, Mass.
Dr. Dixon is now pastor of Buggle
Street Baptist church, Boston, one of
the great churches of New England. He
leaves that denominational stronghold
to become pastor of the greatest non
sectarian institutional church of the
west, if not of the country.
Great Day at Conference.
The NorthWestern Bible conference
had a great day yesterday. In the af
ternoon 600 to 700 were in machinery
hall. Eev. W. B. Biley, pastor of the
First Baptist church, spoke on "Higher
CriticismHas I Helped?" de
fined higher criticism as professedly &
search after truth, and commended
heartily all possible investigation of the
Bible. He affirmed that, pmctically,
higher criticism is a series of unproven
speculations. He showed how the opin
ions of Semler, who'began this move
ment something like a hundred years
ago, had been overthrown by those
of Wellhausen, and Wellhausen rejected
by Harnack. the most conspicuous fig
ure among the present-day critics.
Like the Philistines at Bozez and
Seneh, "they beat one another down."
In fact, he said, it can be shown that
they are not even consistent -with
themselves for their positions at one
Jarmonized,
oint in their experience cannot be
with their affirmations in
another.
Have Changed Nothing.
He also called attention to the nn-
S'hey
recedented conceit of higher critics,
regard themselves as the only
good students of the Bible. He mar
veled that this conceit can be con
tinued, since higher criticism has not
carried a single point of its conten
tion. "Lower criticism," he continued,
"has searched out some interpolations,
and effected their removal from the
Bible, but higher critics have not
made one solitary change. They have
massed their strength against the ab
breviated book of Jonah, and tried to
move it out of its place, but Jonah
has crawled out of the fish's belly and
laughed their efforts to scorn."
He affirmed that higher criticism is
responsible for the small number of
educated men entering the ministry,
and responsible for much of the failure
of the present-day church.
Roasts Higher Critics.
Dr. A. B. Frost, dean of the North
western Bible and Training school,
made a stinging attack upon the high
er critics and the higher criticism in
an address On "Facts About Inspira-
tion,'' delivered before the Northwest
ern Bible conference at the state fair
grounds yesterday afternoon.
"Many clergymen," said Dr. Frost,
"are drifting toward destruction be
cause they have lost hold on the basic
faith in the inspiration of the scrip
tures.
"All scripture was suggested by the
Holy Ghost to the authors of the Bible.
How can yon know a man's thought
without his words It- is urged that
the books of the Bible differ in style.
True they do, but God could speak thru
a Greek, or a Hebrew, or a Soman in
the style of Paul, or of Peter, or of
Luke, as it is possible to make street
music with an organ, harp or a piano.
The position of the literal interpreter
is supported by 2,000 quotations from
the Bible, the other theories by none."
The Evening Service,
At night, Mr. Crosier of the Bpworth
league, of Minneapolis conducted the
Young People's meeting. Eev. L. M.
Waterman led the praise and testimony
meeting at 7:80, and at 8 Dr. Dixon
delivered, his last address on the theme
of "Heaven on Earth" to an audience
that has not been exceeded on any
evening save that of the evening of
the young people's rally.
Owing to a funeral to which Dr. Stan
ley B. Boberts was called this morning,
the program was slightly changed and
addresses were delivered try Miss Mabel
Church of the state W. O. T. TJ. work,
and Dr. W. H. Jordan of the First
Methodist church. Dr. Jordan's theme
was "The Bible and Intelligent Be-
lief." Dr. Jordan belongs with those
whose faith in the old book is undis
turbed by so-called research.
This afternoon the speakers are Dr.
Boberts of Bethlehem church. Minne
apolis, and Dr. David McCaslin of
Hpopeston, HI. This
eveningWonderfu.
Dr. A.
Marshall will speak on '(The
Book." This is Bible League day and
most of the addresses have been direct
ly upon the subject of the Bible.
Tomorrow will be "Prophetic Confer
ence day," and in addition to the men
already upon the grounds. Dr. J. E.
Pratt of Albany, N. Y., will arrive and
speak in the afternoon at 4 o'clock.
JUDGE ELLIOTT FOR
CLEMENCY TO SLAYER
Judge C. B. Elliott of the state su
preme court, who wrote the decision of
the upper bench sustaining the verdict
of first degree murder in the Henry
Prelow case of Goodhue county, has
written a letter to the state board of
pardons recommending that clemency be
extended to the prisoner.
I wrote the decision which affirmed
the verdict in the Prelow case," says
the judge, "but there are circumstances
in the case which to my mind show
that the man should not be hung.
"The jury might have found him
guilty in a lesser degree. I think it
is a case in which the board of par
dons should do what the courts do not
always do, temper justice with mercy.
The Prelow case will probably be
heard before the pardon board tomor
row. -fc*-j

JAIL DELIVERY
THREE DESPERATE PRISONERS
CUT CELL BARS.
Everything Arranged for Escape and
Possible Murder, When Sawed Ban
Were Diajovered-Sheriff Dreger
Says It Is a Result of Lack of Funds
for Proper Guard.
With saws taken from the soles of
Leonard Wilcox's shoes in which they
had been sewed long before his arrest,
three desperate men succeeded in cut
ting out bars from their cells in the
Hennepin county iail and would have*
carried out their plan of escape had not
their work been discovered yesterday
afternoon by Jailer Medausen and
the nifght jaxler, Matrtson- An a re
sult of the attempt and the discovery*
three men are in the dungeon. They
are Wilcox, held to the grand jury for
alleged forgery W. H. McEwen and
John Kelley, held for alleged grand
larceny.
All the details of the jail break had
been cleverly planned. Beside the
saws with wnieh the prisoners cut out
two soft iron bars. Sheriff Dreger and
his deputies found a 30-foot Draided
quilt rope and a dagger made by sharp
ening a caseknife. It was evident
and 'McEwen has confessedthat they
had planned a desperate break for lib
erty.
It is the custom of the jail employees
to sweep the corridor every morning
between 6 and 7 o'clock, and the pas
sageway is open for this purpose. The
three prisoners, McEwen says, intended
to crawl thru the holes made by the
withdrawal of the sawed bars ana, run
ning along the passageway, to over*
?cwer or kill the one deputy in charge,
hen they would make their escape by
letting themselves down to the fourth
floor of the courthouse. The attemit
was probably planned for Monday
morning, as everything was practically
ready.
"This attempt is nothing more than
I have expected for- some time, trafc.
have been powerless to prevent,'* said,
Sheriff Dreger today.
"Our lack of deputies in the jail is
criminal neglect, but I have been un
able to secure appropriations for extra
men. We have only a jailor and an as
sistant jailor, who are onight duty twelveony hours every day and at onl
deputy is in charge of that jail. Oa
Friday night when the bars were
sawed, that one deputy was kept busy
virith a man in the insane ward. While
he was taking measures to prevent th$
cray man from eonrmitting soici.de, *Ea
crazy man from committing suicide, the
had every opportunity to carry on their
work."

ONLY HALF A DOZEN MEN AP
PEAR BEFORE BOARD WITH
COMPLAINTS OF OVER-ASSESS-
MENT.
Interest in the city board of equaliza
tion appears to be waning. Only five
or six applications for reduction or
abatement were received today, and
only two were argued in person. Among
these was a protest by Jonas Guilford
against'an assessment of $25,000 for
credits, increasing his total personal
property valuation to $38,620. Mr.
Guilford is ill, but was represented by
his son, who declared that his father
had as an offset a debt of $20,000 on ft
note, which should Toe deducted The
valuation returned amounted to $3,260,
and this was declared to be a just one.
The matter was taken under adviser
ment.
Preston King, on behalf of the
Northern Warehouse company, asked
for a revaluation of Its property at
First street and Hennepin avenue. The
company had paid $57,000 for the prop
erty and it was assessed at $47,700. The
complaint will be investigated.
The Crescent Oil company asked to
have tfie assessment on personal prop
erty reduced from $7,500 to $5j000. E.
O. Cooke was not satisfied with the
deputy assessor's work in raising toe
assessment from $1,865, which Mr.
Cooke thought was ample, to $3,265,
which he said today was excessive. The
application with others was taken un
der advisement.
