NOTE AND COMMENT.

1t viii be satisfaction to many people to
learn that Charles Field, of Minneapolis, is q
candidate for the position of superintendent

While the position is difficult one to fill, it
is safe TO assert that if The choice of the com
mission should fall upon Mr.. Field, it will
be filled with honor to himself and credit TO
the state and the commission. Mr.. Field is
thoroughly well versed in all matters apper-

duties, and thoroughly well equipped with q
knowledge of the needs of such display.

ADAMS Is. INSANE.
The Bank Robber Is So Adjudged
by jury.


William Adams, who obtained considerable
notoriety few months ago by his daring at
tempt at robbing the Citizens bank, was ex-
amined yesterday as to his sanity 1t will be
remembered that he entered the bank in
broad daylight and cowed the cashier and
clerks with the sight of revolver as he de-
lberately filled valise with gold, silver and
bank notes. He was captured within q few
feet of the bank on Nicollet avenue.
Yesterday morning Adams was represented
by ex-County Attorney Jameson while AS
sistant County Attorneys Davenport and Kin
ney appeared Oh behalf of the stase. The
first witness was George @. Heiser, head clerk
at the West hotel, who related how Adams
ordered the best apartments in the house,
and demanded the best service for day or
two before the ROBBERY. lie noticed Adams
peculiar action at the time. The story of the
bank robbery was related by j. 7. McQuaig,
of the bank
Thomas Gavin, the liveryman, stated that
Adams hired rig the day before the robbery
and drove to North Minneapolis where he
left II in the street. The horse ran away and
smashed the cutter. Mr.. Gavin demanded
pay, which Adams Eaid he would pay but
came around an hour later and wanted to
borrow $40. He considered that Adams was
crazy.
The most important testimony was given
by Dr. W. A. Jones, all expert on INSANITY
He is unquestionably insane,'' he said,
and furthermore, he is sutferingt from the
worst kind of insanity-general paralysis o.
the brain. This species of dementia is shown
by change of character and disposition. The
patient is exalted and happy and full of
grand DECISIONS. In this man the pupils of
the eyes are irregular, one being larger than
the other and do not respond to the ligh: In
healthy way. There is tremor in his hands
and tongue and general uncertainty. He
told me he was going To marry O laundry
maid at the Nicollet house; that he had not
yet asked her to be his wife, but he knew she
would consent if he only suggested the
scheme. This man is incapable of knowing
what he does or has bone.'
DR.. Burton corroborated the evidence Of
DR.. Jones.
DR.. Holmes, an expert occuiist testified to
the effects of insanity on the eyes, He con-
sidered Adams insane
The state submitted no evidence, and the
Jury retired after being charged by Judge

suggestion was well taken. The stone will
be laid in about two weeks. The exact date
will be announced later. The board referred

eral Passenger Agent Eustis said:
"The report, as it has been published,
places US in false position. We
have resumed the payment of commits
sions only to limited extent, and
haven't vacated our agreement with the
board of rulings. Some of the Eastern
roads haven't carried out the agree
ment, and consequently we haven't had
the protection which was a condition of
our compliance with the request of the
board of rulings. We no longer feel
bound to pay commissions to agents of
those roads. seven or eight in number,
and confined to Central association ter
ritory. We have given notice. which is
now effective, of the resumption of COM
missions to those particular lines" Of
course the other roads will follow the
Burlington's example.

From Lawrence & Smith Have
Been Recovered.

The police have succeeded in recovering
considerable amount of the property stolen
from Lawrence & Smiths store few nights
ago, and two young men believed to have
been concerned in the robbery, have also
been captured. Officer Nick Smith, of the
North Side squad, learned yesterday of boy
who had several new knives and revolvers in
his possession, and following up the clue,
was directed by him to an old barn,
near Sixth avenue north, under which the
stolen property had been hidden. The boy
stated that he had seen the burglars while
they were hiding the stuff, and that they had
given him the articles which he had to keep
him quiet. Instead of keeping quiet, how
ever, he told his father, who reported the
matter. About fifteen revolvers, 100 knives
and TWO valuable fishing reels are still miss
ing. Thursday night Detective James G.
Doyle went to Duluth on the trail of the sup
posed thieves, and at noon yesterday arrested
Charles Williams and Ed Stanton. He tele-
graphed to the chief that he had found some
of the stolen property in their possession,
and would bring them back at once. Will
Jams is eighteen years of age, graduate of

John and James Dobson are charged by

contract labor. This is not denied by
