Miss Wachtler Released for . Tims-Grin-
dali Held.
MINNEAPOLIS, March l~1.-Precisely
at 10 a. III. Miss Wachtler, who was
arrested for perjury at z p. m, APP
peared in the municipal court, accom-
panied by John Day Smith. As 500
as the court was called to order Attor-
ney Smith waived the reading Of the
complaint and moved for an immediate
examination. He incidentally touched
upon Mr.. Odell's smallness in having
had the defendant arrested at night,
when the opportunity for getting bail
was rather limited and the chances for
her retention in the lookup were the
greatest. He thought it was no more
than justice that his client should have
the opportunity of an immediate trial to
relieve her character of the stigma
which the complainant was endeavor-
ing to affix upon it.
Assistant County Attorney Beardsley
asked that the case be continued until
some time mex week, as the grand jury
is in session and would undoubtedly
consider the case ut the earliest oppor-
tunity.
Attorney Smith asked that, as the
case had not been taken before the
grand jury direct, but brought into the
municipal court, hat it be heard imme-
diately in the court in which it had been
brought.
Beardsley argued that it was the us
tom Of the court to allow the state q
reasonable time to prepare its case, and
as the state was not prepared at the
present time, he thought it was not un-
reasonable to ask for a continuance until
some day next week.
Released Till Afternooo.
The defense ~acquiesced, provided the
defendant was released upon her per-
sonal recognizance, as she had been last
night. The state objected to this, and
stated that Mr.. Nye only agreed to allow
the defendant her liberty under such
conditions until morning. The court
stated that it was somewhat irregular,
but that he was perfectly willing if
MI. Nye was, and he would continue
the case until Mr.. Nye could be seen by
the attorneys, and Miss Wachtler could
go ON her personal recognizance until
afternoon.
George A. Grindall was arraigned be-
fore Judge Kerr in the municipal court
this morning ON the charge of perjury,
and his case was continued until
Wednesday at 8 o'clock. His bail was
fixed at 81, 900. g.

FILING ON ~HOMESTEADS.

Mechanics Out of Work Are Taking UP
Farms.
ASHLAND, WIS, March 11.-During
the past few days "a large number of
homesteads have been flied upon along
the survey of the proposed st. Paul,
Minneapolis q Ashland railroad. 1t is
estimated that over 100 claims have al
ready been filed III the basis of this
road being built. The country through
which it passes is exceptionally good
for farming purposes, and it is
especially noticed that many Of the
filers are mechanics from the cities,
who have been put out Of work more OF
less for the past few years and are put
ting their depleted savings into homes
in Northern Wisconsin. A great many
of these filings have been made at the
Ashland land Office, but they are not
all confined to this district.

whose name was prominently men.
toned during the trial, but who care.
fully remained away while it was in
progress in order not to testify, passed
through the city on her return to Min.
neapolis from Iowa. Now that the trial
is over she talks quite freely of the mat.
ter. A well known Minneapolis con.
tractor who has known her for 10 years
had a long conversation with her on
the train, which he gives substantially
as follows:
wouldn't Have Helped Hayward.
Miss Vedder, had she been called
upon to testify, would have made q
statement somewhat damaging to Harry
Hayward's side of the case. She and
Miss Cling were with Harry on the night
of the holdup in April. He tried hard
during the evening to sell first to her
and then to Miss Cling q diamond ring
worth $50 for $75. When the party
was held up Harry made no attempt at
selfdefense, but took the matter coolly.
The robber was not Adry Hayward, but
q much smaller man, and held q revolver
in one hand while he went through
Harry pockets. Miss Vedder believes
that Harry knew of the holdup; that the
robber was his aocomplice and that the
intention was to steal back the ring after
it had been bought and paid for.

A LEGAL BATTLE

Over the Collection OF the Income Tax IL
Coming, and Bitter Fight is Expected.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 29.-That the in
come tax is not to be collected without
much legal battling is evident. The
suit of John g. Moore, of New York, to
secure an injunction against the COM
missioner of internal revenue will be
thrown out of court under section 1924
of the revised statutes, which prohib-
its such a suit being maintained in any
court.
1t is the desire, however, of the law
yers interested, as we'll as of large
class of citizens who believe the in
come tax unconstitutional, to get q
hearing, and other expedients will be
resorted to in order that the question
may be brought before the highest le-
gal tribunal. Charles A. Hess, the
well known New York lawyer, was
in consultation Friday with number
of government officials on this subject.
Mr.. Hess represents several large
capitalists in New York who have de-
termined to fight the income tax, and,
as result of his interviews Friday.
he will advise his clients to wait until
the government begins action to COM
pei the payment of the tax. In this
manner the government will instigate
legal proceedings, and any defense can
be raised according to the ingenuity of
cOunSa1 o..

full Pursuit Of the Retreating Chi

LONDON, Dec. 31.---A Central News
dispatch frcm Pekin says that Liu Kun
vi, secretary of Liang Kang. has been
appointed to the chief command of all
the Chinese forces, ousting Ii Hung
Chang.
The Central News correspondent at
Intong telegraphs:
"Details from Kung- Wa-Sai confirm
the reports that the recent battle was
fought with great obstinacy. The Chi
nese were strongly entrenched. They
had eleven field pieces and some ma
chine guns, and were we'll handled.
The Japanese charges were repulsed
with heavy loss. Their reserves from
Haitichong, who had experienced great
difficulty on the march, owing to the
snow, then joined them, and
they made another charge, with
shouts of victory. This time
they carried everything. The Japanese
admit they had $50 killed and wounded
and say that the Chinese had 800 killed
and wounded. The snow prevented a
successful pursuit of the retreating
Chinese. The villagers of Junining
drove away the Chinese soldiers who
sought refuge there. They said they
preferred to be governed by the Jap;

previously"

SUPT. BYRNES.

The Celebrated 7hief-Taker Tenders His
Resignation--The Department Full OF
Corruption OF Thirty Years Growth.
New YORK, Dec. 81 AT 10 minutes
to o'clock Saturday night the Lexow
committee adjourned subject to the
call of the chairman, thus closing
session of investigation that was brim-
full of startling revelations.
Just as he was through answering
Mr.. Goff's probing questions, Supt.
Byrnes handed letter to Chairman
Lexow, and said that it was copy of
one that he had sent to Mayor-elect
Strong early this month. 1t was his
resignation from the force, of which
he has been a member for the last 32
years.
The superintendent said that on two
occasions since he was appointed in
Supt Murray's place he was
on the point of resigning, owing
to the continual conflict between
the commissioners and himself.
The superintendent, he said, should
have absolute charge of the discip-
line of the department, but that all
his efforts in that direction were frus-
trated by the commissioners. The de-
partment was honeycombed with
abuses which had been growing for 30
years, and they could only be remedied
by radical legislation. Local poll
ticians, he claimed. were the curse of
the department, and as long as politics
was factor in the force such state
of things would exist.
Byrnes went to headquarters Sun
day morning and spent four hours
there in packing up his private papers
and getting them ready to be removed
in the event of the acceptance of his
request to be retired. The superin-
tendent's action was the sole topic of
discussion around headquarters Sun
day.
Regret at Mr.. Byrne's probable de-
parture seemed, however. to be COM
pletely overshadowed by curiosity as
to what would happen after he had
gone and where a competent successor
could be found. Inspector Conlin is
the next officer in rank to the superin-
tendent. He enjoys the distinction of
being the only inspector unbesmirched
by the testimony given before the
LeXow committee.

SUPERVISING ARCHITECT
viii Not BE Appointed Until the Office I:
Running Smoothly.

WASHINGTON. Dec. 31.-Secretary
Carlisle has decided that he will not
appoint supervising architect of the
treasury until about the middle of jan
uary, at which time he thinks the new
reorganization of the architects office,
which goes into effect on Tuesday, will
be in smooth running order.
Any friction that may have de-
veloped from the changed conditions
lie thinks can be better adjusted by the
old men, familiar with the former
workings, rather than by the introduce
ton into the Office at one and the same
time of new head and a new system.
When the new architect is installed he
will find the cffice moving along
smoothly, and can devote himself, as is
contemplated by the new organization,
to the technical and scientific work of
the Office. Mr.. Charles Z. Kemper, the
chief clerk, and for the past two
months the acting supervising archi-
tect, has resigned, and his resignation
has been accepted. He has been reap
pointed by Secretary Carlisle executive
officer in the bureau and will have alb
solute charge of the office force and
will have nothing whatever to do with
the purely scientific work.
All the old chiefs of division. with
the exception of Fred Knowlton, of
Maine, and Z. w. Combs, of Kansas,
have been retained, and those two were
dropped only because their divisions
were consolidated with others.
