Line of Attack of the Defense in
Hayward's Case.
10 IMPEACH BLIIrS TESTIMONY
Sympathy for the Prisoner Shown
by Women.
A SENSATION PROMISED

MINNEAPOLIS. Mimi, February 10
The defense today in the trial of Harry
Hayward for the murder of Catherine
Cling resumed its efforts to impeach the
ties timony of Claus y. BliXt. the particular
line of attack being against the story BliXt
told on the stand of having gone to see
some acquaintance in South Minneapolis
Immediately after the commission OF tine
crime.
The evidence of Ole Thorsen, his wife,
and Mary Larson established at least a
doubt that BlXt visited the house on 18th
avcuuS. south. which he claimed to have
visited that night.
Harry Hayward said today that the abb
sence of any distinct line OF defense in the
opening speech of John Day Smith yester-
day was by no means an Indication OF
weakness. as the public seemed to think.
DO yo,l mean by that TO indicate that
there is sensational evidence TO Gomez!
THAT ID just what | mean. replied the
accused. There will be some facts brought
out that mag astopish people"
The crowds in attendance have dlnlr-
isned somewhat in size, but are made up
of the usual proportion of women. who
exhibit the most morbid curiosity. ana
even sympathy, for the handsome defend
ant. Some of the petticoated contingent
will go to any length to get 4 WORT with
him or autograph or a handkerchief for a
souvenir.

come under the recent order of the Com
missioners concerning distinctions. The
defendants in the cases We're p. III. Sheehy
and NJ VI. HUH. They are merchants,
doing business on Brishtwood avenue In
the county. In the case of Mr.. Sheehy it
was charged that he occupied the sidewalk
with barrels, while in the case of Mr..
Huth IL was charged that his awning was
less than eight feet from the surface of the
sidewalk. On Brightwood avenue there is
a very narrow sidewalk. and some of the
residents are in favor of widening it. In
building some OF the property owners have
set their houses back from the line in or
der that the widening of the sidewalk
might be done at any time without much
expense u the District. This, il was shown.
had been done in the cases of the de-
PENDANTS. and the alleged distractions
were en- their private property. For this
reason tiey were acquitted.

Rear Admiral Kirkland's Plans.

Rear Admiral kirkland, commanding the
European squadron, has notified the Navy
Department that he proposes to cruise with
the flagship San Francisco along the Medi-
terranean coast of Africa as far as Alex
antlria, and that he will then probably
cross over to the coast Of Asia Minor and
touch at points in that vicinity, returning
to Gibraltar along the European coast.
During this cruise he will be joined by
the Marblehead, now fitting out at the
Norfolk navy yard. This vessel will proba-
bly, start for Europe in about two weeks.
Her cruise will include a visit to Constan-
tnople, which has not been visited by an
American warship for many years. The
Chicago, which has been detached from
duty on the European station, will start
from Gibraltar in a few days for New
York, where she will receive extensive
repairs, designed to materially increase her
speed power.

There are sixty-four whose terms have

MIGHT SUCCEED BYRNES.
A RumOr Regarding Police Commits.
sioner Andrews Of New York.


NEW YORK. February 15.-Mayor Strong
explained how he decided to appoint Maj
Avery D.. Andrews a police commissioner
He said:
some time ago Mr.. Andrews came to sec
nue. and submitted in writing some plans
for the reorganization of the police de-
partmept. Ile suggested many changes
that seemed to me to be good ones. and
made a general criticism of the methods OF
the department.
He was no candidate for any office, but
submitted his plans merely as a citizen.
and l said to myself that he was good
man for me to appoint a police commits
sioner. 1 wrote to Gen. Schofield about
him and fhe general wrote me two letters.
l also asked other men about him. Then L
decided to appoint him.
"IIe was not appointed with view to
introducing any military feature into the
police department.. but because he suited
me. and l thought he was a good man for
the place"
There is a rumor that Commissioner An
drcws may succeed Eyrnes as superinten-
dent of police.
