A double male quartette under the
direction of J. L. Shaw sang "Welcome
Tonight p' in stirring manner the
words being transcribed into a personal
welcome to the orator. The audience ap-
plauded it loudly. The Chairman in in
Producing Mr.. Debs, said: AS trades
union man it affords me the greatest
pleasure to see such large attendance to
listen to an address upon such vital
question by SO distinguished an orator. 1
take great pleasure in presenting to you
the able and fearless champion Of labor
Eugene V. Debs"
When Mr.. Debs arose to speak he was
greeted with round after round of ap
plause. Mr.. Debs is man of pleasing
appearance and suggests in his appear
auce Bill Nye, though he is larger and
taller than was the noted humorist. He
has a good head, pleasing manner and
expression, and most convincing way
of speaking. He makes no attempt at
oratory but speaks more in conversa-
tional way. He uses excellent language
and painted some exquisite word
pictures. He held the very closest atten-
tion of the great audience to the end.
Nobody who listened to Mr.. Debs,
whether they agree with his views or not.
could fail to be convinced of his earnest
ness of purpose His address was very
temperate in tone. He declared it was
not his business to incite but to educate.
His advice to workingmen, looking to
their uplifting and advancement had the
true ring to it, Portland people who
had pictured Mr.. Debs as long haired,
wild eyed anarchist had very different
impression after seeing and hearing the
dignified and earnest speaker of last
night.
Among many things Mr.. Debs said in
substance: There are everywhere the
universal signs Of change Millions of
men are out OF work and unable to find
employment. Millions more are at work
for wages hardly sufficient to beep them
from starvation. For ages past the men
who have sought to lift them up have

FOR oBsTRucTING STREETS.
Frank Hayden the Horseman Before
Judge Robinson.

Sunday evening at O'Clock, MI
Hayden, the we'll known horseman,
came out Of the Prebla house to take a
street car to the Union station. AS he
passed to the curbing he came across two
friends whom he had not seen for several
months. The parties accostod each other
cordially and while Mr.. Hayden stood
waiting they spent few minues in talk
ing.
Patrolman Thomas E. Quinn noticed
the group and asked the gentlemen to
'move on
MIR. Hayden was provoked at the order
of the officer and claimed that he had
right to remain on the spot rs long as be
so desired. Officer Quinn advised Mr..
Hayden to at once walk along the street
If trouble was to be avoided. This pro-
Voked Hayden more than ever, and as he
persisted in explaining, the patrolman
took him along to the signal box, called
the patrol wagon and sent his prisoner
to the station. Mr.. Hayden gave security
for his appearance and was released until
yesterday morning.
The charge Of obstruction was read by
the court and the prisoner entered a
vigorous mot guilty" He said that
there was 10 use to hire an attorney and
would accordingly conduct his own case.
Officer Quinn told his side and then MI.
Hayden with the two friends whom he
had met Sunday evening gave their in
depreciation. After listening to the testi-
mony, the court ruled that positive proof
had been presented by the witnesses for
the defense themselves that the ordinance
had been violated. This obstructing of
QUE public streets had become an i'm
portant question and although citizens
rightly feel some indignation when ap-
preached by an officer in uniform, there
is no duty more trying to the patrolnen,
who are also liable to lose their posit ions
unless they enforca this law. Mr. Hayden
was ordered to pay fine which with
costs amounted TO &c. He notified the
court Of an appeal and at once furnished
bonds in the sum of 500.
Mr.. Hayden afterwards withdrew his
appeal and paid his fine.

demonstration of their regret at the
parting, aluhoug they could not wish
him to remain under the circumstances.

QUESTIONS AN AFFIDAVIT
"REcKLEssNEss OF ASSERTION.
On the Part of Mrs. WadIeigh,s
Lawyer, Is Censured by the
Court Facts as Stated.

In memorandum attached to an order
filed yesterday, Judge Kelly makes some
comments on the veracity of Attorney M l..
Germany, of Minneapolis. The case is that
of Helen M. Hayes, to recover from Mrs.
Lizzie B. Wadlegh and M. L. Germany, some
$l3,25O damages on account of injury to her
reputation through the charges made against
her in connection with Mrs. Wadleigh's hus-
band. The complaint in this action was
served on Mrs. Wadleigh on Jan. 80, and on
Mr.. Germany on Feb. g. The answers not
having been served within the statutory
twenty days, the court, on Feb. 29 made an
order directing the plaintiff to show cause
why the defendants should not be permitted
to answer.
The matter came up before Judge Kelly, in
special term last Saturday, and Germany
filed an affidavit setting forth that he had
made an effort to have joint answer served
on Frank E. Encell, attorney for the plain
tiff, on Feb. 20, but Mr.. Encell could not be
found at his Office or his home, and that on
the following day copy of the answer was
mailed at Minneapolis to Mr.. Encell and one
to the clerk of courts of Ramsey county.
This was legal service provided Mr. Cor
many's affidavit be true, but the court doubts
its truth. After referring to the fact that
Mr. Enceils office was open at the time it
is claimed an attempt at service was made,
anu Cndt QeuVery at his ONCE would be

on to state that even if service had been
made on the goth, the plaintiffs attorney.
could not be compelled to accept a joint
answer when one of the defendants was al
ready in default. Then referring to the
date Of the service by mail, Judge Kelly
continues:
"Cormany swears that Immediately upon
learning that answer had not been served
on Feb. 20 he. on Feb. q, deposited in the
postoh1ce at Minneapolis a copy of the
swer, addressed to plaintiffs attorney at st.
Paul, and mailed the original at the same
time to clerk of court. In these state
possible, he is mistaken as to the time of
mailing. l am so satisfied because plaintiff
has produced and identified the original en-
yelope addressed to Mr.. Encell, and which
covered this answer and the Minneapolis
Dostmark thereon shows 1t was mailed Feb.

honest defaults and inadvertences. But an
inspection of these files shows such utter
recklessness of assertion on the part of
defendant Germany, who seemed to run the
whole business that l must, in common JUS
tice, hold him and his client to strict prac-
tice. There is great deal in defendants
moving affdavits that tends to show that
these defendants, even if allowed to an
swer:. have no valid defense in this ac-
tion."

ALLOWED A NEW TRIAL.
Judge Brill Grants the Motion OF
EIannarnn.s Attorney

Flannagan,s Attorney.
Judge Brill yesterday filed an order grant
ing the motion of James Flanagan for a
new trial in his suit for damages against
the st. Paul City Railway company Elan
nagan was given a verdict for $136 for dam
ages to his hack and person, by being run
into by a car near the Seven Corners some
months ago. Flanagan was not satisfied
with the size of the verdict, and moved for
a new trial. In the memorandum attached
to his order Judge Brill says:
l do not understand upon what basis the
jury awarded damages in this case They
might, upon the evidence, have found YER
dict for the defendant but if the plaintiff was
entitled to anything, he was clearly entitled
to much larger amount than was allowed
MIN by the verdict of the Jury The evi-
dence was indisputed that his hack which
was worth 500 or $500, was considerably bro
ken, and the carriagemaker who repaired it.
reputable man, placed the damages to the
vehicle at from $500 to $3.50. The plaintiff
testified that he was earning S. day at and
prior to the time of the injury, and that he
was totally disabled for more than two weeks
1t clearly appeared that the plaintiff sus-
tanned considerable injuries to his person. He
was thrown violently to the ground was
bruised and cut, one ear was nearly torn
from his head, he was rendered senseless and
required surgical and medical attendance.
No effort was made to show the injuries
to property or to his person were less extern
sive, or less severe than were claimed by
tire damage at $136. The verdict was evidently
a compromise. 1t was not based upon the
evidence, and ought not to be allowed to
stand.
