More settlements were made in the
Colon civil cases yesterday which tend
to untangle, to certain extent, that
famous litigation, and to lessen the
pressure for second criminal prosecu-
ton. The order was made on petition
of the Minnesota Title Insurance com
pany, Collom's assignee, asking
that upon the surrender and cancellation
of the claims of ]. M. Williams for
S59,5S6,30, the assignee he empowered to
assign and convey to him all right and
title to certain heavily incumbered real
estate, threatened by immediate fore
closure, that now makes part of the
insolvent estate. This assignment of
real estate to Mr.. Williams is to satisfy
his claims upon the notes held by him.
which constitute the foundation of
the civil suit. The order also
makes statement of other i'm
portant claims against Mr.. Colon of
Neal Farnham & Co., Emerson Cole,
Alice M. Cotton, Cole g. Weeks, the
Bank of Minneapolis, l. o. Cooper and
e. w. Peet, amounting to the total sum
of S44, 1924.
Judge Hooker heard an explanation
of the case and affixed his signature to
the document ordering that upon the
full compliance with the proposals bv
the claimants, the assignee be author
lied to convey to them the equity in
the real estate. The petition contains
full statement of the condition of the
property showing that it is subject to
very heavy membranes.

LITIGATION PROMISED.

The III. & ID. Problem the Success
sor to the North Side Crossings
Case.
The Chicago, Milwaukee & ST. Paul
Railroad company means fight. 1t will
contest the city's right to force it to con-
struct gates at all the crossings of the
II. & d. division within the city limits.
The railroad company argues that the
order is unreasonable, since there is
not travel enough on the streets cross
ing the h. d ID. to neceSSitate gates.
The II. IL ID. tracks traverse residence
portion of the city which Is, i'll most
cases, but sparsely inhabited. Then
there is an impression that this action
OF the council was suggested, or at least
fastened, by the narrow escape of an
electric car on South Mime
apolis crossing. The railroad Off
Gals say that If that be the
case, they are beng done an injustice,
since that electric care was placed in
dangerous situation solely through the
fault Of the conductor. The courts, if
appealed to, would certainly quash any
unreasonable order emanatlng from
the council, and it is on this point that
the order will be contested by the rail-
is unreasonable from the fact that gates
are not needed. A large-sized piece of
litigation before this matter is settled
seems probable.
The III. d ID. problem bids fair to take
the place of the North side crossings
case. The feeling against the tracks in
the western part of the city has been
growing for about two years. Last
spring the Milwaukee's chief officers,
accompanied by several aldermen, the
city engineer and the city attorney,
looked over the ground out there with a
view to coming to some understanding
concerning the solution of the problem.
Several mouths went by. and finally
the Milwaukee submitted to the city
council a proposition to raise the tracks
and bridge the crossings. Of course
the council would listen to no such
plan, as elevated tracks would be per-
petual eye-sore in a section of the city
which promises to become one Of the
most beautiful portions of Minneapolis.
That was over two months ago, and the
railroad company has never made an
other move toward settling this per-
picking question.

how certain dynamos could be massed
together so as 10 give the requisite
power. AS soon as the Edison experts
had finished experimenting the line
would be started. Other excuses were
also offered, and the two citizens left
the managerial presence apparently
satisfied.
But the people are not satisfied.
There are several questions which they
want TO know, you KNOW" from the
Minneapolis circumlocution Office. alias
the city council. They want to know
why the council has never taken any
action TO compel Mr.. Lowry to pay a
part of the bond he agreed to pay Nov.
l should he not complete all the lines he
agreed to complete. The provision as
to the interurban line, they claim,
clearly figures in that bond, and the
citizens say the neglect of the council
in attending to the matter makes child's
play of every such legal instrument the
city becomes party to. Furthermore,
they say that aldermen give Mr.. Good
rich more attention and respect than
they do their own constituents. They
go further and charge that the interur-
ban line has not been put in operation
because the short line roads have
made it right with interested parties"
But the company has promised TO nave
the line i'll operation by Dee. 10. The
Southeast MinneapolitanS will fume in
silence until then, but look out for an
other roar after that date.

THEY ATE TOGETHER.
Joyful Democrats Have Banquet
in Minneapolis.

in Minneapolis.
Last night twenty-five prominent
Democrats, members of the city and
congressional committees, sat down to
banquet in the ladies' ordinary at the
West hotel. The banquet was the out
come of gatherings between Capt.
Bronson, of Saltwater, and c. M. Foote,
of Minneapolis. Mr.. Foote agreed to
present Capt. Bronson with suit of
clothes if Castle failed to carry Henne-
torted by agreeing to banquet TWEEN
ty-tive Democrats in the event OF
Castle carrying Hennepin, hence the
number at the banquet was limited.
The following sat down to the table: P.
B. Winston, F. q. Winston, G. Nj. Foote,
Otto Miller, Thomas Scott, a. j. Null
len, Ralph Reese, Bernard Cloutier, F.
q. HOlbroook, Theo Basting, Joe Jep-

gan. Maj. R. r. Henderson, A. T. An
keny and K. kartgaard, of Minneapo-
lis; Capt. Bronson, Judge Netheway
and j: n. Castle, of Saltwater. When
the tables had been cleared Capt. Bron-
son arose, and explained the object of
the meeting, closing with: ~ believe
there is little matter between Chair
man Foote and Chairman Cloutier which
Mayor-Elect Winston should settle up
before it goes any farther" Mr.. Wins
ton then arose, and in happy speech
presented an elegant gold watch to each
of the gentlemen. The watches were
inscribed, C'Presented to G. M. Foote
and Bernard Cloutier. respectively by
their friends in memory of the cam
paign Of $780," Both gentlemen were
completely taken back by the magnifi-
cent souvenirs, and could scarcely con-
troll their voices sufficiently to respond.
They were heartily applauded, and
speeches were afterwards made by Con-
gressman-elect Castle. d. B. johnson,

THE WHEELS GO ROUND.
And the Judges Listen to Pleas
for Divorce Without Granting

ANY.
Any man who will invent drop-a-
n-the-slot-and-g et-a-divoree ma
chine can sell several of the contrivances
in the Fourth judicial district and re-
lieve the judges of an overplus of labor.
But, in default of any such labOr-saving
invention, the judges were, perforce,
busy turning the divorce mill yesterday.
First came Hema Johnson. erstwhile
the bluShing bride of Ole johnson, who
deposed and said that she was married
to Ole SIX years ago. But Ole would
look upon the coffin varnish when it
was Intoxicating, so she left him. She
visited the old country, came back, and
saw him once since. That was all.
Judge Hooker didn't believe that Ole
had been searched for diligently, SO the
case was continued.
Next came Elizabeth Monseau, who
claimed to have suffered ten years of
constant abuse at the hands of Charles
MonSeau. and her careWOrn face bore
out the truth of her story. She married
Charles ten years ago, down in Ala
Dama. lie was small matter of thirty
years older than herself, ana didn't
seem to cherish and protect her as he
should have done. He failed to support
her ana INDUCED extensively In
''booze." Mrs. Monseau's little girl cor
reiterated her story. This case was con-
tinued one week that more evidence
might be secured.
Clara NJ. Olsen was before Judge
Hicks pleading for the dissolution of the
lnd!SSOluble bond between herself and
Arthur Olsen. Clara married Arthur
after an acQuaintanceship of only two
months, only to find that Arthur
possessed violent temper. He struck
her once, but one of her witnesses said
he didn't believe Arthur would have
done it if he had been sober. Judge
Hicks advised Clara to make up with
Arthur, while she looked mad, and then
continued the case.
There was no appearance in the case
OF Annie Peters VS.. Louis Peters, and it
was stricken from the calendar.

NORTHWESTERN FINANCES,
They Are Little Affected by the
Chaos in New York

CHAOS in New York.
The chaotic financial situation and
monetary stringency which has pre-
vailed in New York for the past week
has affected Minneapolis but little. Its
only effect has been to lead the local
bankers to adopt more conservative
methods. They are no longer loan
ing money for speculative purposes,
nor will they until the present
excitement has subsidized. They are,
however, meeting all applications for
loans for strictly purposes. Moreover,
the rates of interest have fluctuated but
little here. Only in exceptional in
stances has even 10 per cent been de-
manded. The local banks are all carry
ing heavy surplus in addition to the
required reserve, and there is not the
slightest uneaSiness among them. The
New Workers seem to have acquired the
impression that money is tight in the
Northwest, as evidenced by this from
New York dispatch:
1t is very generally believed that there
is money stringency in the West and par
ticularly in the wheat and corn centers like
Minneapolis, Duluth, Sioux City ana Des
Moinns. In the excited state of the stock
market all manner of rumors are afloat but
the current one that the Northwest is short
the belief that there was little question but
that the great millers of Minneapolis and
Duluth were issuing script as temporary
expedient to tide over the emergency
What seems to have given rise to this
report is the scheme proposed by the
grain men to the jobbers to obviate the
necessity of borrowing money at 10 per
cent. 1t means the issuance of grain
certificates, which are to be received by
the jobbers as money. This plan has
been practically agreed upon, and will
work like this: The grain man will pay
the farmer for his wheat in certificates,
the farmer in turn will pay the grocer
and the general store for his supplies in
certificates, and the store man at last
pays the jobber for his goods with the
certificates. Ample collateral security
will be put up TO make good the Ger
tihcates, though this part of the plan is
yet to be matured in detail.

THE COUNCIL AND LOWRY.
Both Objects of Hatred to the PEG.
DIe of Southeast MiupeanoIis

Both OBJECTS of Hatred to the Peo-
pie of Southeast minneapolis.
Southeast Minneapolitans are kicking
harder than ever. They were warm be-
fore, but now they are literally boiling
over with rage because their protest
against the incorporation of the inter-
urban street car line never referred to
at Friday nights council meeting. A
resident of that portion of the city was
asked yesterday about the protest to the
council, and replied heatedly:
."What became OF the protest against
the failure of the street railway COM
pany 10 operate its interurban line?
Why, l suppose it melted in the presence
of Mr.. Goodrich's genial smile. 1t surely
failed to reach the council. and, liter
ally as well as fguratively. | believe it
met the fate have indicated"
The same citizen then explained how
1t happened. Aid. Barrows and Frank
Eustis, representing East side citizens,
had been delegated to wait upon Mr..
Goodrich yesterday afternoon before
presenting the protest at the council
meeting in the evening. They did so,
and were taken into Mr.. Goodrich's pro-
found and diplomatic confidence. They
were told that the secret of the failure
70 operate the line was due to expert
ments the company was making as to

day by simply showing the papers
through The mail slot at the door of the
plaintiffs attorney. The claim was
made that this was not proper service,
but Judge Smith holds that it was, and
his decision is likely to have quite an
effect upon methods of service here
after.

Small Thieves,

There were several thieves in small
way before Judge Mahoney yesterday.
William Smith stole wolf robe and
then tried to hang himself with his sus-
penders. He went up for ten days.
Charles Thompson got away with Sc. 40
worth of veal, and Daniel Stills with
pail of chewing tobacco. They were
given ten days. George Tyler, an old
timer, had tried to rob man named
Russell, but Russell didn't appear, so
Tyler was given two hours to get out of
town. George Blake, an ex-police Off
Ger. was acquitted of the charge of
tealing a sulky from Charles Schultz.

SHOULD MEET HANAFIN.
An Old Man Who Has An Incur
able Grievance.

Charles Jost, an old man over fifty
years old. was in the municipal court
yesterday morning for vagrancy. He
had been found by Officer Kennedy upon
Washington avenue and Twenty -sey-
enth avenue north. He said that he
was walking around the streets because
he had no home to go to. When he APP
peared before Judge Mahoney he showed
that he was qualified for membership in
the club formed by Denny Hanafin in
North Dakota. He had a grievance, an
incurable grievance. He harbors a
grudge against church people, and at
their doors lays the burden of his mis-
fortune. He said he had owned prop
erty in Minneapolis, but that the church
members had conspired against him
and robbed him of it. The old man
seemed the victim of halluciuation.
Judge Mahoney thought he would be
web taken care Of in the workhouse.
