MUNICIPAL COURT AMENITIES.
HI. l.. Gordon and A. =. LOOMS Call
Each Other Liars.

The suit of A. p. LOOMS VS.. III. l..
Gordon, to recover $500 for services rendered
as an attorney, was resumed yesterday
morning before Judge Bailey in the NUM-
cipal court and occupied the entire day.
The exchange of pleasantries was con-
tinued and a good deal of Bit
terness was exhibited on both sides.
Mr.. Gordon, who acted as his
own attorney, repeatedly referred to the
defendant as liar and a perjurer, and the
compliment was promptly returned by Mr..
LOOMS with You're another" The
services of the court officer were required
on one occasion to keep the latter gentle
man in his seat. c. II. Benton, who APP
peared as counsel for LOOMS, was exceed
ingly pointed in his remarks, and pleas
antly referred to Gordon as liar and
manipulation of facts. The case
was submitted to the jury at o'clock and
an hour later verdict in favor of the plant
iff for 1927 was returned.
The suit grew out of the action for
divorce that was once commenced against
Gordon by his wife, but which never came
to trial. LOOMS was retained, he claims,
as all attorney and asked $500 for his ser
vices. Gordon claimed that ne was only
employed as a cOpyiSt or clerk, and refused
to pay him more than 500.

last night. After music and declarations
the curtains of the baptistry were drawn
back, and the Arctic home of Santa Claus
was revealed. All was snow and ice. and
in the foreground snow house, like the

a grand good time for all.
Last night the Band of Hope Sunday
school, which meets in the Reform club
rooms in the Window block. held high
carnival at Mrs. Fairs store, where a
Christmas tree bore books and candy for
the children. This school is small i'm num-
bers, but good work is being accomplished,
and last night there was as much joy in the
little band as though they had numbered
hundreds.
DANA hall was the scene of a great an
nual Christmas dinner yesterday, given by
the South Minneapolis tabernacle to the
schools. Four large tables, bearing all the
delicaces of the holiday season. were
spread for the hungry and appreciative
youngsters, and crowd succeeded crowd

a table on the stage sat the pastors of the

A DESIGNING FEEND
Is What S. s. Whittier Calls the Au-
thor of % Story.

thor of Z, story.
On Saturday night last the police were
called to quiet disturbance at the home of
S. S. Whittier, in Northeast Minneapolis.
The Sunday papers all contained virtually
the same version OF the affair, to the effect
that the row grew out of the demand by
Whittier for the custody of child, and
that in the row he drew and fired a re-
voiver; that the police let him 90 upon his
promising to go away and not disturb his
wife any more. Yesterday Whittier called
at the GLOBE Office to denounee this
report as utterly false and the work of a
heartleSS and designing fiend." He says
his wife has made his home hell and has
reared his children to hate and despise him.
He charged his SOn-in-law, named Brown,
with having furnished the papers with the
report, which is entirely incorrect. the re-
pOrterS having obtained it at headquarters.
Whittier says he wanted to take his child
to the museum, which was refused him
and he was badly treated. To use his own
language:
/ had a little grandson living with me at the
house. and | had promised him a number OF
days before to take him to the dime museum
on Christmas day. My wife and son objected,
without giving any reason, and replied that
Il was going to take him. and went up to
my room to get ready to go. and my son and
his mother followed me up, and my son came
to my door and swore ut me, and presented a
loaded revolver within two feet of my face
and said he would blow my dam head of and
put a hole through me, and all the time en-
couraged by his mother, and |. fearing that
my life would be taken, took up a revolver in
my room, when excited, and it went OF acct
dentally, but did no harm to any one. The
revolver l had was one L got from my son
nearly ear ago, and was the one he had in
a shooting affair that occurred in place of
amusement in this city some time ago.

A CONTRACTORS DILEMMA.
John Norton Charged With Selling
Coal EeIonging 10 the schools.


A somewhat peculiar and at the same
time sensational suit was commenced in the
district court yesterday, when Rufus Rob
erts, sealer of weights and measures of the
city of Minneapolis. filed papers commence
ing an action against the board of educa-
ton, John Norton, F. G. HOlbrOOk and E.
H MoultOn. asking for an injunction re-
straining the board from ordering the pay
ing out of certain moneys, +. q. Holbrook
from signing warrant for the same, and
f. 81. MOultOn from paying any of this
money. The papers in the case show that
a peculiar state of affairs exists in regard to
the purchase of coal by the board of educa-
ton. and place Mr.. Norton in very unfa-
VOrable light. In the event of MI. Roberts
carrying his case it will prove Mr.. Norton
guilty of larceny, or else obtaining money
under false pretenseS. In his complaint
Mr.. Roberts alleges that the board entered
into a contract with Mr.. Norton to pur-
chase of him at AS per ton twenty car
loads of coal On Sept. 81, 1856. Norton
presented his bill for 1882 90 for twelve
tons of coal delivered by carloads of two
tons each, and ninety-nine tons delivered in
car load lots. This bill was audited and
paid. Mr. Roberts then goes on 10 say
1912 was not delivered to the board of edu
cation, but that Norton sold two loads, of
two tons, of it to other parties as follows:
One load to the Chicago bakery and one
load at No 16 Second street south. He
also alleges that the board received no coal
at all from car No. 1912, but that Norton
sold it as follows: Six tons to the Chicago
bakery, two tons at 1902 Washington ave-
nue. south, one ton to the city of Mime
apolS for use at the new steel arch bridge,
one ton at 205 Nicollet avenue, one ton at
707 Central avenue. two tons to the Clark
house, one ton at 701 Central avenue, 4,240
pounds to the city for use at the tunnel at
Eighth avenue south and the remainder IN
loaded in NOrton'S coal yard. The COM
plant further states that Norton has pre-
scented 10 the board of education bill for
coal claimed to have been delivered, but
which, in fact, was not delivered, and that
unless an Injunction is issued the money
will be paid and the taxpayers compelled to
pay a greater amount of tax than just. 1t
appears that the board became convinced in
some manner that Norton was reselling
coal which the board had purchased. and as
it could not bring an action against itself,
secured MI. Roberts to act in the capacity
of plaintiff. The case promises to be an
interesting one, and considerable attention
is being drawn to it. A temporary njunc-
ton was granted and the case VIII be heard
the last of the week.
