An Acquittal Of the Charge of EN-
beZzlement the Basis.
When the case of George W. Gates
against Hugh Kirkwood, his former en-
ployer, and ex-Sheriff Swenson, to re-
cover money which Mr.. Kirkwood
caused to be attached some time ago,
which was called in the district court.
before Judge Rea, yesterday afternoon,
there was considerable amusement fur
nisheu by w. E. Brownlee. managing
editor of the Journal, who had been
drawn as juror. Mr.. B. endeavOred to
get excused on the ground that he had
talked with Mr.. Gates in regard to the
case, and had formed ''a shadow of an
opinion" in regard to the merits OF it.
He was finally allowed to retire and

of a newspaper selected in his place.
The case is the outcome of the arrest
of Gates on charge of embeZZlement,
preferred by Kirilwood some time ago.
The money attached was held by Gates
in trust for Mrs. Sarah A. Phillips, and
Mir. Gates claims that Kirkwood was
aware of this, for he had borrowed the
money long before there was any
trouble between employee and employer.
When Mr.. Gates was arrested Oh a
charge of ENLIGHTENMENT klrEWOOd

the money. Gates was acquitted of the
charge of embeZZlement, and now pro-

A SLIGHT DISTINCTION.
The Council and Not the Water
Works Committee to Appoint.

Works Committee to Appoint.
The council committee Oh water
works had a little surprise sprung on
them by City Attorney Russell when
they met yesterday to appoint employees
of the water department. He told them
that the powers of the old water board
were transferred to the council itself
and not to the committee. and that the
ordinance placing the appointive power
in the hands of the committee cOnfllcted
with the charter and was illegal. The
matter received thorough discussion,
and will be further considered at a
meeting to be held to-day.
The committee ordered the heads of
all departments of work to discharge all
men not actively employed. and then
took up petition from Anderson Il
Douglas, asking permission to lay water
mains in Bryn Mawr at their own eX
pense. This was laid over until next
meeting. The committee then adj
iourned till afternoon.
At their afternoon session yesterday
the council committee Oh water works
opened eleven bids for furnishing the
will be needed during the coming year.
The bids ranged from S26 to $3.50 per
ton on straight pipe, and from $40 to $50
per ton on 1T" and cross pipes. The
lowest bid on straight pipe was that of
the Addyson Steel and Pipe company,
of Cincinnati. O., who bid S26 per ton.
The lowest on the special castings was
2 cents per pound, by the Minnesota
Foundry COMPANY. No awards were
made, action on the bids being deferred
until 2 %, LII. to-day.

large as that of chief of police. for he GER

been on this police force for fourteen years
and never did any man wrong in that time.
Every change of administration we have had
in that time has numbered among its first
acts the reduction of all detectives to the
rank of patrolman. and it looks as if some
would stay reduced this time. Now what

the District Court.
Robert Tanning, who has been a
prisoner in the Hennepin county jail
for some weeks past, for contempt Of
court in refusing to pay his wife Ellen
Tanning, allmony, came to the conclu-
sion that he had enough of it yesterday
morning, and so induced a deputy to
take him before the court.

have paid my wife her $40 alimony and
receipt for the money. signed by my
wife,
He produced piece of paper which
purported to bear the signature OF Mrs.
Tanning, to statement that he had
paid her the money named in the re-
ceipt. The court inspected the paper
some minutes and handed it back to
MIR. Tanning. with smile. saying:
"Well, that appears to be all right.
Now [ guess you had better pay a $50
fine for refusing to obey the courts Or
der; then you can go.'
Mr.. flaming paid this money and
started to leave when bis wife appeared
on the scene. She denied most EN-
phatically that she had signed the re-
ceipt, and further said she had received
no money from her husband. She pro-
nouaced her signature rank forgery.
The court remanded the prisoner to Jail
again until the matter could be investi-
gated. Just before o'clock the de-
sired explanation was made, and Mr..
Tanning was released.

A PET PRACTICE
Which the Minneapolis Police
Force Must Do Away With.

The decision of Chief Justice Gilfllan
in the case of Mary Hammond, who
was found occupying room
with male visitor, and who
took an appeal to the supreme court
after being convicted in the municipal
court of lewdness and indecency. will
be likely to change the practice which
has hitherto obtained among certain
class of brass-buttOned gentry in Mime
apolis. The decision holds that the
city overstepped the power granted
by its charter in passing an ordinance to
punish acts of Iewdness committed in
private, and the 'copperS" can, there
fore, not be be upheld in breaking into
the rooms of persons suspected OF
offenses against social purity. and drag
ging the unfortunate vOluptuaries be-
fore the police judge to be fined for an
offense which Justice Gilfiilan says the
city has no right to punish.
Several enthusiastic hunters for this
class Of offenders are very much in
censed against the chief justice because
he has taken away their chief Occupa-
ton and onla means of getting their
names before the public, and some of
them publicly declare that the justice
is off his base, so to speak in police
parlance. A great many offenders have
heretofore suffered what might be called
legal blackmail rather than suffer pub
licity, and this is the first case in which
a woman has had the nerve to face the
courts.

The War Cry of the New Deal-The
Commissioners Relatives to Be
Shipped.
1t now transpires that the police COM
mission at its meeting on Monday took
at least one vote that was not mentioned
in Clerk Norton's official report to
the newspapers. When the offices
of assistant superintendent, chief
inspector and inspectors were abol-
tshed every one expected to see CHER
Inspector HankensOn and Assistant
Superintendent Hoy detailed to do de-
tective work, but the determination to
down Commissioner Mike Hoy, and all
who are suspected of owing any allie
glance to him, is making itself felt, and

ting forth that there were no longer
any duties for John NJ. Hoy, James
Hankenson and John P. Hoy 10 per-
form, their designations would be &C
cepted if presented at the next meet
ing. was passed.
Inspector John P. Hoy had already
contemplated leaving the force, and
handed in his resignation yesterday.
Mr.. Hoy has been on the city detective
force for three years, during when
time he has made some nOtaUle
captures and was employed as a
private detective by Col. John T. West
at the Nicollet house, and later at the
West hotel, for five years previous to
the time he begun work for the city. He
will be missed arouad police headquar-
tiers.
Assistant Supt. John Hoy has, since
the last reorganization of the force, oc-
cupied a position which the present
board considered to be superf1uous.
and entirely ornamental, but he has
proved himself a faithful and able
Young officer and has made no enemies
during his term of office.
James Hankinson has been connected
with the Minneapolis police force for
fourteen years and has been chief OF de-
tectives and chief inspector. His work
in the department is too we'll known to
need recital here. The dissatisfaction
that is practically what the calling for
designations amounts tO-lS an example
of shallow pretense that is made to hold
out reward for faithful service on the
face, as it is managed by the present
commissioners,

A Desperate Effort Being Made to
Keep Party Promises to Econo-
miZe.
The new council committee on sal
aries glorified itself in the eyes Of its
members by holding a lengthy secret
session yesterday afternoon. Comp
troller Calderwood, Clerk Haney, Chief
Stetson and City Attorney Russell had
long interviews with the committee.
The committee of thirteen that orig
inally recommended the reduction of
city salaries, it will be remem-
bered decided the comptroller
ought to get along with a salary of
$500 instead of IS, 100, as he now re-
ceiyes with an assistant at 81 ZOO. They
also wanted to make the salary of the
city clerk 81 900 less than the $4,000
which he has been receiving: and
thought that 81, 500 was $500 too much to
pay the city attorney. These were the
questions on which the officials inter-
ested spoke to the committee yesterday,
while Chief StetsOn was present to in
form the committee Chat he considered
the position he occupied as responsible
and difficult and more dangerous than
that of chief of police, and that he
thought his salary should be the same
as that of Chief Bracket, $500. Sew
eral members of the committee seemed
disposed to agree with him.
The committee on examination of
meat inspection met, and, after looking
over the ordinance on inspection of
meat and provisions, concluded that
they didn't know what they were eX-
pected to do, and after discussing the
matter short time. referred it back to
the council for further instructions, and
adjourned.
The committee on bonds of city off
GERS thought 81 900 was too small bond
for the handler of dog tax money and
therefore recommended the increase of
Clerk Haney's bond to $1,000. They
also recommended the requiring of
$1,000 bond from the city engineer and
$4,000 from the attorney, neither of
these officials having been compelled to
give bond heretofore.
The committee on claims struck
strong blow for municipal economy by
throwing out $12 drink bill from the
municipal court, where the gay clerks
had been indulging themselves in po-
tons of Glenwood water, supposing it
to be at the city'S expense.

A Young Woman Who Insisted
Upon Getting Married at Once.


Upon Getting Married at Once.
Mary Cobb, the young woman who
was arrested Monday evening at the
residence of S. P. Young, on Hennepin
avenue, for disorderly conduct, was az
raigned yesterday and dismissed, as the
complainant failed to make out a case
against her.
Her attorney stated to the court that
Dorr Thomas, for whom she was look
ing when arrested, had been the lover
of the woman, had seduced her under
promise of marriage, and had then
failed to make good his promise. Mary
had tried several times to make him
marry her and he finally promised to
come to her room on Second avenue
south and Fourth street and be mar
ried to her. He failed to put in an APP
pearance and she went to his boarding
place to find him. She said she had not
intended to use the revolver and de-
clared that, with the exception of her
intimacy with Thomas, she had lived
yirtuous life.
