BEHIND LOCKED DOORS.
Judge Canty Hides a Divorce Case
From Public View.

TOHl lew.
Judge Canty, who has frequently ex-
pressed himself as against secret trials
in court, heard a divorce case behind
locked doors yesterday. 1t was the case
of Ida LiebenOw against John Liebe-
now-one of particular interest to the
public, because two charges of a Grim
lnal nature are made in it. Mrs. Liebe-
now makes a charge of arson against
her husband, and he retaliates with a
charge of adultery. The testimony in
the case is not near as vile as that in the
Parker case, and Judge Canty's reason
for locking the doors is not at all clear
Ehe closing of the doors OH the Leibe-
now case is particularly offensive 10 a
number OF insurance men who were Oh
hand yesterday in expectation of hear
ing the evidence on the charge of arson.
1t was whispered through the keyhoIe
OF the locked door that the courts rea-
son for secreSy was that the evidence
on the adultery charge would have an
immoral effect upon small children who
might attend the trial. When the en-
ragged crowd of lawyers, reporters and
citizens who had been fred out of
the court room heard this excuse they
laughed and wondered why Stalwart
deputy couldn't keep the room clear of
children without locking the doors and
keeping everybody oct.
Mrs. LIebenOw and number of wit
neSSeS were examined Yesterday in ref
erence to the charge of cruel and inhu-
man treatment made against the de-
PENDANT. The evidence seemed to show
rather conclusively that LiebenOw had
not handled his wife with any great de-
gree of gentleness. Mr.. LiebenOw
reached the witness chair late IN the
afternoon, and recited his charge of
adultery to the CO urt. He says his wife
was altogether too intimate with one
James Griffin.

SOL AND HIS PLAY.
Minneapolis Own Comedian Talks
of His Success on the Road

of His Success on the Road.
Sol Smith Russell arrived in Mime
apolis yesterday to spend the Christmas
holidays with his family. A week from
Thursday he will open for three nights
in Milwaukee. From there he will 20
to Chicago for three weeks, and thence
through the cities of the East. Thus
far this season he has played in the
West and South. Peaceful Valley
will not be seen in Minneapolis again
this year, or next season either, for that
matter. Mr.. Russell said Yesterday
that he intended to have q new play
next season.
Il want to make it point he said. ito
have new play every season. unless should
find something which the public would not
allow me to give up. Ny reason Tor this is
that do not desire TO become too closely
identified with any one character or play 1t
may be that the public will demand Peace
full Valley for part of next year al least, in
which case shall put 1t on. The play has
been much improved since ii was seen here

there, until think ii Is more symmetrical
than at first, and much smoother. | am sur
prised with its success. and want my friends
in Minneapolis TO know that this is the very
best season | have ever known.
Il met Joseph Jefferson recently at dinner
in Chicago. | told him | was 10 get a new
play AO4 AcAt NCtA. anu LIE dsTceQ iudL WAS
the best thing TO do. My reasons, he said,
were good ones. l care less for the few dol
lars just now than do for a reputation that
is separate from any one play or part
Mr.. Russell says that he is surprised
by the way Peaceful Valley' has been
drawing. The most money he ever
drew in one night with "A Poor ReIa-
tom was $3.50. In Kansas City this
season he once drew $3.50 at one per-
Torrance. He thinks that this business
speaks well for the play. Reputation
might give him a good house the first
night, but it would not draw big bust
ness tor week if the play were bad.

THE PROBATE GRIND.
Several Interesting Gases Come
Up Before Judge Corrigau.


Yesterday was Judge Corrigan's busy
day. The probate court calander was
one of unusual length, and contained a
number Of interesting cases. Probably
the most interesting case was the fight
that opened between the creditors and
the heirs of the late Charles Les Yes
c onte. Soon after the death of Mr.. Les
Vesconte his creditors put in an appear
ance and asked for the appointment Of
On administrator, and, as no heirs had
showed UP with will, their petition
was granted. j. p. Sawtelle was made
the administrator. Now, several months
after the appointment of the admins
traitor, the heirs come forward with
9 Will which they claim they have
just discovered. Administrator Saw
telle. OH behalf of the creditors. asserts
that the will is not recent discovery,
but was purposaly held back by the
heirs because they at first thought 1t
would be to their benefit 10 have the es-
tate settled by the creditors. The mat
ter was only. partly heard yesterday,
and continued for week.
The will OF the late William o. Hick
ok was admitted to probate, and Caro-
line HickOk and Robert SnOdgrasS were
appointed executors. The estate is
valued at $4,000.
Distribution was ordered in the estate
of Mary A. Winters, which is valued at
$4,000.
The Minneapolis Trust company was
made administrator of the estate of
Thomas Thomson, valued at $4,000.

state undertook to iDculcate religious
truths the church was robbed OF its dig
nifty by this mixing OF religion and pol
tues.
He also disagreed with the idea of
compulsory education on the ground
that it worked an injustice through in
equality IN the tax.
Col. Eddy began his remarks by pro-
claiming that this public school system
for which we claim so much is an abso-
Lutte failure. as it does not do what it
pretends and claims to do-dOeS not turn
out scholars"
He argued that the education of
today is harmful, as it tried
erie d manual training and said that
the public schools should be devoted to
giving the scholars documentary edu-
cation, a good solid foundation, as it
were. Armstrong Taylor was then
called upon, ana took issue with DIT.
Casseday upon the question of the Bible
i'll the public schools. He SAID: 1.-The
safety of the foundation of our govern
ment depends upon keeping the Bible
out of the public schools" He went on
to show that religious teaching in the
schools must necessarily be doctrinal
teaching.
1teV. Dr. Foude was also called upon.
He committed himself strongly on the
subject of the parochial schools. He
said he would most heartily bid the
Roman Catholic church gOdspeed in all
of its good works. but the Catholic
church has work which is not good.
The Roman church desired temporal
as well as spiritual power. He declared
that the relinquishmentO of the parochial
schools was merely plan to have the
teachers salaries paid by the state.
He favored rudimentary manual
training, but did not consider it Il good
plan TO attempt to turn out finished
artisans.
The next meeting will be devoted to a
paper on Social Science" by Judge
Isaac Atwater.

BEGINNING HOTEL WORK.
First Meeting OF the Subcommit
tee on Hotels.

The executive committee on the con-
vention has engaged rooms on the third
floor of the Bank of Commerce building,
and there all the meetings of the COM
mittee and subcommittee will be held
hereafter. The hotel committee held
its initial meeting there yesterday
morning. Col. John L. West and George
Hyser represented the West hotel, and
Col. c. ii. Wood was there to
give the committee any infOr-
nation it wanted about the
Nicollet. 1t may be said that the work
done by the committee yesterday was
merely preliminary. There was moth
ing actually done. The committee
wanted to get hold of the lists of all the
people who have applied for rooms and
the lists IF those who have already
been assigned to rooms. Then the com
mittee will go to work to look after the
assignments in detail. The committee
also examined the plans that have been
made by the managers of the two lead
ing hotels to aid il in taking care of a
big crowd. The plans were found to be
ali right. The committee will meet
again i'll a couple of DAYS to begin the
active work of assigning possible CON-
ers to their rooms.

NOT YET READY.
Mayor Winston Will Announce
Appointments Thursday.


On being questioned on the topic OF
police appointments yesterday after
noon, Mayor Winston said:
II shall not be ready to announce my APP
pointments until Thursday. and IL the mean
time must decline to discuss the chances of
any Of those mentioned as candidates.
The candidates are still on deck.
although waiting quietly for the action
Of the mayor. A silly rumor was cir
culated yesterday to the effect that De-
tective King was TO be reinstated, but
this Mayor Winston quickly Knocked
on the head by most emphatic denial.
The candidates for this vacancy are
Patrolman Tom Collins and ex-Detect-
ives Quinlan and Gleason. with the
chances rather i'll favor of the first
named.
From what can be learned it appears
that the late Lieut.. Bean will be sue
ceeded by either Sergeant Kennedy, of
the East side station, or Sergeant John
Leonard. of the central precinct. IN
length of service the former stands
first, and Leonard, recognizing this,
says that he will not oppose his promo
ton. However, Leonard has many
friends who would like TO see him Sc
cure the place and who feel that he
should have it, as Kennedy has ample
means aside from his salary.

Ministerial Meetings.

The Presbyterian ministers were disap-
pointed yesterday morning il that Rev. l. P.
Wilmington did not appear to read his paper
on "Tithing'' But the assembled ministers
were entertained First Capt s. G. Neil,
commander of the Salvation Army forces
here talked about the methods of the army
He defended the use of the drums and the
tambourines as necessary to attract the peo-
pie whom the army seeks. The army can
not get TO the rabble unless it does something
to attract the attention of the rabble. Rev.
Luigi Angelim followed and told about the
progress of gospel work in Italy. The Meth
odists discussed the work of the Methodists
in the South. The consensus of opinion
seemed to be that the church work should be
prosecuted with vigor in the South and not
left to suffer for the benefit of the North, as
some advise. The Baptist ministers told one
another about the books each had read sin ee
the last meeting.

Fair for CHARITY,

The Women's Relief Corps of Morgan
post opened their fair at Morgan post hail
last night. The fair is for the sake of char
ity. All the money that can be raised will go
to purchase shoes and stockings for poor
little folks who have nothing TO protect their
feet from the cold paving stones. In addi-
ton to the attractions of the fair itself an ex-
cellent musical and literary programme will
be given. The programme will be changed
every night SO that those who go one night
need not lie deferred from going again
through fear Of seeing the same thing over
again.

Come Not From Webster.

Several days ago the GLOBE. in speaking OF
the arrest of several shoplifters, mentioned
one Of them as woman from Webster, 5 D.
Mr.. Donaldson has since investigated that
case, and he finds that the woman's story
about coming from Wooster was only a clever
fabrication 2OncOcted to excite sympathy.
She lives in Minneapolis, and seems to have
been in the shOplifting business before The
children who were with her had been Dor
rowed for the occasion. When she was
caught she told q fearful tale about being
from Webster, and repeated the same story
a the central station. The result was tina.

To Non-Board Companies.

As soon as the jobbers Of Minneapolis can
get together they will take steps 10 retaliate
upon the insurance agents who have raised
the price of insurance. 1t is more than
likely that the jobbers' union will decide 10
place ali insurance with the non-board COM
panies. The jobbers must have the insurance,
because it affects their credit. but they want
to get IL for as little as they can. II is ex-
pected that the non-Doard companies will
agree to leave the rates as they are II they de

TIE SAVE QUAY.

A splendid example Of loyalty is Of
tered by the Philadelphia Inquirer to
those men and organs Of its party who
are grumbling and snarling at the
Chairman Of the Republican National
Committee, and calling for his resigna-
ton. The Inquirer taunts these men
with the fact that they "ceuld not do
too much for QUAY after the HARRISON
victory" and goes on to say:
Quay is the same man today that he was
in lsSS. But he was fresh from victory
then. That's the only difference. Had
they not been so furious in their spite
QUAY would have resigned long ago. He
had won one victory, and there was no
new honor to be obtained from another
campaign, even though victorious He
would not 90 out under fire. He stood up
10 the batteries until the smoke had about
cleared away, and then declared his inten-
ton OF resigning at the first opportunity.
1t is indeed true that QUAY is the
same man that he was when his Repub-
lican critics Of today we're praising the
work done by him and DUDLEY aud

paign which made Mr.. HARRISON Pres
