RELIEF FOR POLICE.
Legislation Which the Depart.
ment VIII Seek to Secure.

ment VIII Seek to Secure.
Last night tbe Police Relief associa-
ton met at police headquarters and
elected Supt. R. r. Henderson presi-
dent, vice w. NJ. Brackett, resigned.
The treasurer reported $1,000 now on
hand. A committee, consisting of Supt.
Henderson, Capt. Ness and Lieut.. Bean,
was appointed to arrange for ball, to
be held at Masonic Temple, either on
Feb. % or March 4.
The most important business Of the
meeting was the appointment of De-
tective HankinsOn and Officer Kerr a
committee on legislation. 1t will be
their duty to look after some bills which
WILDE introduced in the legislature in
relation to the relief fund. One will
have to do with the establishment of the
service pension, as recommended by ex-
Supt. Bracket In his annual report. He
recommended that officers be retired ON
half pay at the end of twenty years of
service. There is no question about the
passage OF the bill, but there is some
disagreement over the term of service.
Twenty years is considered too long.
In st. Paul 1t is only eighteen years,
and in other cities is even shorter.
Those having the matter in charge will
endeavor to have the time of service
before retirement fixed at fifteen years,
or, at the most. seventeen. When a
police officer has served for fifteen years
continuously, and has been exposed to
all the hardships and perils which fall
to the lot of every police officer, the
best part of his life has been spent.
Another bill which will be introduced
and passed without question will divert
certain moneys to the relief fund of the
department and to the. pension fund;
Some of the receipts of the municipal
court, at least the interest on the
moneys collected there. should, 1t is be-
lieved, go to the police. The same is
true of the forfeited license money, ali
of which now falls to the lot of the
library board. The Hennepin delega-
CATION is in favor of both these bills.
and there is little question but that
they will be passed, assisted by the
efficient work of Hankinson and Kerr.

WILL Be CUT SHORT.
Preparations to Make a Baden
Baden Of Minneapolis
Estopped.
Gambling Houses Started All
Over ToWn--Forty-Two
by Actual Count.
The New Administration Liza
BILE to Make a Very Rad
ical Change.
An IntoIerable Nuisance That
Will Not Be Tolerated
Much Longer.

Never in the history of Minneapolis
has gambling had the full sway that it
has enjoyed during the last two months.
The wind-up of Mayor Babb's admin
istration is neither creditable to him as
an individual nor as an official. Gam
bling houses have sprung up like mush-
rooms, and it seems as though almost
every man who has a round table bas
covered it with green felt and chiseied
a hole in the middle for a"kitty."
Two weeks ago the GLOBE stated that
there were thirty-two gambling houses
in Minneapolis. Since that time the
number has been increased to forty
two. Even in the palmy days OF Mayor
Ames' administration such wholesale
gambling was never allowed. Inc
places where men bet on the turn OF
card where limited in number, and they
were as well protected as though they
speculated in grain on the floor OF the
chamber of commerce. For some rea-
son which'is not apparent. unless the
intent Is to make Mayor Winston's ad-
ministration seem like the stereOtyped
narrow-gauged regime of Mayor George
A. PillSbnry, when every man In Min
neapOlis who has cared, or dared, TO
place money on the turn of card was
liable to be arrested. Gamb-
ling has been allowed to run
riot within the last ninety days
The fact that Minneapolis has at least
forty-two gambling houses can be, es-
tablished, with proof, II Superintendent
of Police Henderson cares for 1t. Here
are few prominent places:
2O5 Nicollet avenue.
219 Hennepin avenue.
30S Nicollet avenue.
224 Hennepin avenue.
18 Washington avenues south.
The Maple Leaf, 81 Sixth street south.
III Washington avenue south.
Ill Washington avenue south.
There are other Joints almost in
Vulnerable. Workingmen with their
oyeralls are seen nightly gathered about
the tables. Even boys are allowed to
place their money, and this administra-
tion owes it to the people Of Minneapo-.
lis to relieve this city from the odium OF
being styled the Baden-Baden OF the
West.
Gambling has been stopped in st.
Paul, and another feature Is an influx
of thieves, confidence men and plug
gers, who seem to think that Minneapo-
lis is to he paradise for them during
the next two years.
If this is to be so, the GLOBE greatly
mistakes the aim and purposes OF Mayor
WinSton'S administration.

MET AND TALKED.
Nothing Done at the Delegation
Meeting.


Last night the Hennepin delegation
met at the city hall, but did nothing.
Several aldermen dropped IN and con-
versed with their representatives, and a
general free and easy time was had. No
regular meeting of the delegation was
held. The aldermen were asked for
suggestions as to legislation, but none
had any to offer. The committee on
legislation will get together some time
during the early part of the coming
week and formulate whatever the cOun-
Gil thinks should be done in the way Of
legislation. Some radical changes will
be proposed despite the advice OF
Poundmaster Sterling that this delega-
ton do not undo any Of the work OF the
delegation of two years ago.
The evening paper last night had a
lot of buncombe to the effect that last
nights meeting of the delegation had
been called to consider the question of
raising the salaries of aldermen. 1t
was also stated that this question was
discussed at a former meeting of the
delegation and that there was likeli-
hood of such a measure being passed.
There was not one word Of truth in it.
The delegation has held no meeting
since the legislature opened. This in
crease of aldermanic salary question
was proposed once and summarily sat
upon. The majority of the delegation
will listen to no such proposition.

WAR OVER HElLPERN.
Two Business Firms Will Litigate
About Who Shall Bear the Loss.

Two business FIRMS Will AICieaCc
About Who Shall Bear the Loss.
Leo Heilpern's arrest and arraign-
ment on the charge of grand larceny
does not, by any means, settle the trOu-
BILE caused by his misdeeds. Before
this case gets out of the courts 1t will
have figured in big civil suit. The
parties to that suit will be the Columbia
Mill company and the Bank of Com
merce. Heilpern's plan of peculation
has been explained before, He was
accustomed to draw on the bank
IN the name OF the mill
company. He covered up his work by
Mill company and the bank have not yet
settled as to which firm should bear the
loss. Each thinks the other should be
the loser. TO determine this question
the courts will be called upon. The
public may expect to receive good deal
of light upon business methods before
the matter has been settled.
This difficulty between the banks and
the mill company bore prominent, al
most star part in the search for He'll
perm. There was fight between them
and it operated to the disadvantage of
the police. One faction was anxious
for Heilpern's recapture; the other
"did't care cent. whether he was
caught or not, except tnat his escape
would enable them to inslnuate
that the other people interested had
connived at his escape. Considering
the difficulties under which they la
bored the police deserve not little
credit for following the defaulter as
closely as they did. Inspector John T.
Hoy and w. M. Bracket, the superin-
tendent, put in some hard work on the
case, and deserve not little credit.
Heilpern was anything but tractabie
prisoner, and made repeated attempts
to escape while on the way back from
Ell Paso. But he didn't get away.
There is another interesting item in
connection with this embezZlement.
The published reports of this defalca-
tlon place 1t at, or about, $4,000. AS a
matter of fact, it amounts to at least
three times that amount, and is pr0ba-
bly, nearer $4,000.

HEILpERN is ARRAIGNED.
His Bond Is Placed at Fifteen
Hundred,

His Bond Is Placed at Fifteen
Hundred.
Yesterday noon Leo Heilpern arrived
at the court house in company with his
captor, John Hoy, and was handed over
to the sheriff. County Attorney Than
and Mr.. Longbrake, the prisoners at
torney, held short consultation, after
which the party went before Judge
Lochren and Mr.. Than presented the
case to the court. Heilpern's attorney
stated that he would waive the reading
of the indictment and asked until Mon
day in which to serve plea. He stated
that he understood that his client had
surrendered himself to the police with
out resistance, and asked as light bail
as possible,
Mr.. Than then rose and said: "Your
honor. this Indictment is for the theft
of 1000, but i have reason to believe
th at the sum mentioned is but small
portion of his actual defalcations. l do
not wish to be hard upon him, but the
bail should be high enough to insure
his being here Monday"
Judge Lochren allowed conference,
in which Mr.. Than wanted 81, 800, while
the counsel for defendant insisted on
$1,000. The court finally placed the
bond at $500. The prisoner was then
taken to the comfy Jail to remain until
his bond is produced.
