HOUNNG UP SMPHDfTS 01 INSPECTION

UW IS ATTACKED Bartles Northern Co. De­

clares Fees Are Uncon­stitutional.

AFFECTS TAX OF $100,000 YEARLY

Injunction Issued Saturday by Judge Cooley Against

Jackman.

Contending that' the state oil In­spection law is unconstitutional and constitutes an impost on interstate commerce, the Parties Northern Oil company secured Saturday a tempo­rary order from Judge C. M. Cooley enjoining T. W. Jackman, state oil inspector, from interfering with ship­ments of oil consigned to the com­pany.

The company, it appears, has re­fused to pay the half cent per gallon prescribed by the state law for in­spection, and Mr. Jackman has been holding up its shipments of oil pend­ing this payment.

Judge Cooley's injunction prohibits this, pending a hearing on the appli­cation.

In the complaint made by the com­pany through F. B. Feetham, its at­torney, it is alleged that the half cenl per gallon inspection fee collected at all points of entry into the state brings the state an annual income of approximately $100,000 yearly, while the actual expense of the inspection Is .approximately $12,000.

This assment in excess of the ex pense of the inspection is, the oil company contends, a direct t;ix on the consumers of oil, and is also an im­post on interstate commerce, being thus contrary to the federal constitu­tion.

The company also claims that the Inspection of oils, especially gasoline, is not conducted according to any Axed standard, and is therefore value­less.

Th order issued by Judge Cooley Is made returnable July 25, and at that 'time the state must. appear to show icause why the injunction should be vacated, otherwise it will be continued until the settlement of the main con­tention in the courts of the state.

The declaring of the law unconsti­tutional will, according to the com pany,'s attorneys, mean a saving of

. more" than,. $£0,000 annually to the oil users of the state.

WASHINGTON'S SPIRITUALITY.

It Dominated His Life in War as Well as in Peace; Service for Braildock. (Bishop Rurch in Living Church.) Two incidents of his earlier mili

tary career are deeply significant of Washington's dominating religious spirit. In the war against the French, General Dinwiddie failed to respond to Washington's application for a chaplain lo the troops, and Washing­ton straightway wrote to the president of the council these terse words: "Common decency, sir, in a camp calls for religious services.'' And Wash ington persisted in reading the serv­ice himself.

Four days after General" Rraddock's defeat, and after Washington had cov­ered the defeat gallantly and brought the fa]len leader to a place of safety, Braddock died of his wounds, and the man, Washington, who had striven to save him both from defeat and death read the burial office over his body.

REMEMBERED THE TITANIC.

And the Kiggardadly Man Was Ready for Cry of "Women First."

(Popular Magazine.) Two friends boarded a great trans­

atlantic liner and set sail for Cher­bourg. One was a good fellow. The other was a niggardly man. The first night out they went to their stated room.

"Say, Bob," said the niggardly man, "I wish you'd step out on deck while I undress."

"That's a remarkable request," obr jected the good fellow. "Why have you developed this streak of bashful-ness at this late day? I never eaw any signs of it before."

"Never mind about that," eaid the niggardly man. You get out!"

After a long and acrimonious argu­ment the good fellow went out on deck and stayed half an hour. When he returned to the stateroom the nig­gardly man was stretched out In the upper berth. Moreover, he was dressed up like a.Christmas tree in a beriboned nightgown and a woman's boudoir cap.

"Say!" exclaimed the good fellow, "what in thunder is the matter? Why have you got that make-up on?"

"Look at me and bbe wise," said the niggardly. man. "Remember the Ti­tanic, In case of a wreck, women and children first."

Judge R. J. Purcell doesn't allow chicken chasing around his premises.

In fact, an attempt of that sort at an early hour this morning brought the judge out with a revolver, and caused the neighbors to thing that the Mexicans had invaded Grand Forks.

It happened thusly: The judge is the proprietor of one

of the finest henneries in the city of Grand Forks. The chickens are the pride of his existence.

Naturally, when he heard a wild commotion in the backyard at 4 a. m. today, the judge arose in his wrath —and pajamas—and grabbing his revolver hiked out to see who was disturbing his pets.

At first all that he could see was a moving mass of chickens, which seemed to be shedding feathers liber­ally in every direction. Then as his eyes grew more accustomd to the dim light, he realized that the com­motion was caused by two canines who were chasing the fowls.

Judge Purcell didn't hesitate. He opened flre. The two canines, real­

izing that they oouldn't compete with modern firearms, proceeded to melt away silently, pursued by tlje leaden messengers of the angry member of the judiciary. v

When lie came to take stock the judge found that two chickens had been; killed outright and four fatally wounded, and twenty-four more bad­ly frayed around the edges.

In the meantime the neighbors-hearing the shooting, and with visions of battle, murder and sudden death, began to appear< clad in costumes varying from pleasant smiles and B. V. D.'s to the old fashioned long skirt variety, and the judge was kept busv explaining that it was neither Indians nor anarchists.

This morning , the Judge was com­pelled to admit that he hadn't hit either of the chicken-chasing canines, but claimed that his poor shooting was due to the lack of light. He In­sists. moreover, that he scared them badly.

It Is understood that he had made arrangements to borrow one of the national guard's machine guns for use on future occasions.

No action has been taken as yet by the "moneys and credits" committee of the city council board of equaliza­tion, in regard to the protests made by M. F. Murphy, Sidney Clark and others, in regard to the assessments placed against them, which will be considered by the council at its meet­ing tonight.

Dr. Orr Sanders, one of the mem­bers of the committee, stated today that owing to the absence from the city of some of the other members, it had been impossible to hold any meetings, or take any other action in the matter.

If possible, a session will be held this evening immediately before the meeting of the council.

Besides the question of the tax as­sessments, the matter of the exten­sion of the ornamental lighting sys­tem on Bruce avenue, Fourth street, and Fifth street south will be taken up by the council at the meeting this evening.

Special Committee to Set Taxes on Lumber Com­

pany's Property.

Re-assessment of block 36, of the original townsite of Grand Forks for the DeMers avenue sewer, was taken up today by the special assessment committee of the city council.

The assessment on this property was declared invalid, by the state supreme court on the motion of the Robertson Lumber company which owns the en­tire block in question. The assessment on the other property in the sewer district is not affected.

Under the law the assessment against the property must not exceed the benefit, which the owners derive from the sewer. This must therefore be estimated by the committee before the assessment can be made.

The special assessment committee consists of Joseph Mahowald, J. D. Johnson and Frederick Werstlein. They are being assisted by City Attor­ney J. B. AVineman and City Engineer J. M. Smith.

Thomas Pantis, employed in a shoe-shining parlor, was ordered by Judge Dolan today, to pay damages of $30 to George Geilis, bbecause he ripped a button off Geilis' coat and tore the garment while loudly thwacking: Gellls' clothing without solicitation. j

"This ought to be a warning not to give gratuitous service where it is not! wanted," said the judge. "Geilis went into get his shoes shined and nothing I else. When he tried to leave Pantis! blocked: the door, insisted on brushing | Geilis in hopes of forcing a tip, and j ripped his coat with a whiskbroom. I'm not a tailor, but I think Geilis ought to have a new suit." •

HOMEOPATHY

We have had in this paper a series of articles dealing with homeopathy, explaining what it ie, wherein its field of usefulness lies and its euperlority to all other forms of treatment in both acute and chronic diseases.

Many people, either discouraged with the results of other forme of treatment, or fearing operations which had been suggested as their on­ly hope, have consulted us and have been delighted with the results ob­tained. It is the usual thing for these people to say: "If all people only knew the possibilities of homeopathic treatment, how much suffering would be saved!

Realizing that pure homeopathy has never been represented in this part of the country, and that there­fore comparatively few know of its value from personal experience, we have decided to offer for the first fif­teen days of July first consultation and examination for $1.00. Our usual minimum fee for this is $5.00. ' For out-of-town residents this offer will hold good'during the days of the county fair ae well as from July 1 to July 15.

NOTIFY HENRY Of THEIR PLAN

Dean of Law College Had Been Notified He Would

Not be Re-elected.

The resignation of Dean Robert Henry of the North Dakota university college of law results in the retire­ment of Mr. Henry just a year earlier than the board of regents of the insti-tution had intended.

This fact came to light today, when

it was announced that Dean Henry, whose resignation was announced last week, and which was made the basis for rather yellow reports in some newspapers of the state, had pre­viously been notified by the secretary of the board that his term of service would cease at the expiration of the contract period originally entered Into and which was for three years.

When Mr. Henry was elected dean of the law college his election was for a period of three years, according to the announcement made.

At a recent meeting of the board, of regents, a resolution was passed to notify Mr. Henry that at the conclu­sion of the three-year period he would not be re-elected.

It is also announced. In connection with the recent retirement of Prof. Carpenter of the college of law, that similar notice was given him a year ago that his election was tor a period of one year.
