In this year of 'e5
Is there any man alive
OF seventy years more
To skate with one of seventy-fourR
Or any one of lesser age
In joyful contest to engage,
And skate-in letters clear and bold
Words, names or phrases as he's told2
Then come, that all the world may see
Who'll prove the better man to be.
This year, however, his challenge is in
prose and is to the effect that he will meet
any person 20 years of age or upward in a
skating contest, from so to 500 miles, al
lowing his competitor one mile in every
ten. In the matter of speed and distance
he has to draw the line at the age of 20,
but in fancy skating and delineating on
the ice he is ready to meet all corners re-
CARELESS of age or any other condition.
He is DESTROYS of meeting some one who
wishes to skate any words or sentences in
the English language, celebrity of execu-
ton and symmetry of form to be requisite
features.
Mr.. Weeks takes especial pleasure when
the ice Is perfectly clear and smooth in
skating the Ten Commandments which
contain 200 letters, all of which he de-
nneates so perfectly that all can read them.
In delineating the name of an individ>
ual every letter is as clear cut and bold as
though executed with pen in the hands
of an expert. The ordinary fancy skater
is not to be compared to Mr.. Weeks. The

1t is said that the wheelmen's organic
alton in the city will bring out candi-
dates for the council in at least two Of
the wards. A meeting was held yester-
day at which the subject was discussed,
but the club did not agree upon candi-

This stand is the result of the six mile
an hour and bicycle bell ordinance which
was passed last summer and which Gre
ated such a storm of opposition from the
wheelmen. The ordinance was repealed
however, by the present council

RAIGNED IN THE DISTRICT
COURT YESTERDAY.
WILLS AND ROSE WILL WAIT.
THEIR CASES GO OVER FOR
TIME BY JUDGE BRILL'S
ORDER.
ONE FORGERY CASE is UNIQUE.
'efendant Shows Signs of Insanity
and Will BE Given an Ex-
animation.

Thirteen individuals whom the grand
jury has indicted, appeared before
Judge Brill yesterday forenoon for ar
raignment
Warren Given pleaded gully, but not
as indicted, for he was charged with
grand larceny in the second degree in
stealing from Michael Clos railroad
ticket from st. Paul to Duluth. Mr..
Given confessed, however, that he had
committed petit larceny. Three months
in the workhouse was the fate allotted
him.
George Brazier, a youth of about
eighteen years, pleaded not guilty to an
indecent assault on Ellen Jensen, a
child less than ten years old.
The plea of Charles H. Mems, who is
charged with the larceny of 1924 from
the Elk Laundry company, was de-
ferred.
There was some surprise manifested
at the plea of guilty made by Harry
Norman and George Hassler, two
young men indicted for burglary in
the third degree, for breaking into the
store of Simon Hertz on the West side.
The young fellows told Judge Brill that
they did not wish any attorney to rep
resent them, and they persisted in the
plea of guilty with full knowledge Of
the consequences. Sentence was de-
ferred.
Axel Lindgren, the young man who
is charged with stealing from his en-
ployers, Schuneman & Evans, the sum
of $1,000, came before the judge with
fearful eyes. He said that he had a
brother-in-law in the saloon business,
but did not think that relative would
care to help him. M. j. Costello was
appointed to defend him.
Thomas Wills and F. R. Rose, who
are referred to by the police as direc-
tory swindlers and are under indict-
ment for uttering a forged instrument,
pleaded not guilty. There are three

charged with forgery. Larson, who
also answers to the name Of Hans
Meyers, called at the second hand store
of Joseph Levy at 14O East Sixth street
about dusk last evening. He was
armed with a dinner pail and nine
checks all drawn on different banks
ana for amounts ranging from $12 to
$23. He had selected one of the checks
from the bundle and, crumpling it in
his hand to give square look, offered
1T in exchange for stove which he Sc
iected. The police say that Larson has
been doing this business before and
that he is very smart fellow, but the
TACT that he picked out Levy's place to
work the bogus check on would indi-
cate the opposite. Levy, after taking
the address where the stove was to be
delivered, which was given as some
number on Jackson street, took one
giance at the check and then sent a
clerk Tor the police. Patrolman Mccall
responded and Larson was taken to the
station. He denied the charge at first.

HENNEPIN,s NEW JAIL.
Secretary Hart Calls Attention to
Several Defects.

Secretary Ell. H. Hart, Of the state
board of charities and correction. has
written lengthy letter to the board
of county commissioners of Hennepin
county, in which he calls for irnmedi-
ate action in the amatter of improve
ments in the new jail.
The letter IN question recites the
many things that have been published
regarding the jail, opening with the
claim that the asink bowls and pines
are too small, and that the flow of
water is not heavy enough to do the
work in carrying off the sewage from
the jail. The better then urges that
the public be excluded from the fifth
floor, that steelscages be placed about
the elevator entrances and that the
elevator men bezsworn in as special DO
licemen and beprequired to refuse ad-
mittance to all who have not an order
to the sheriff
These precautions he thinks neces-
s9ry for the reason that the jail cages
are Oh iron instead of steel, that the
ends OF the corridors have iron screens
which do not reach to the walls, that
O. man with cfisel could easily cut
through the terracotta walls from the
attic into the jail corridor, or come
down through a skylight; that a pris-
oHer could get to the boys Depart
nlent and easily climb out window
Blu OoSdpc anu lHat tOOlS could be
easily passed to the prisoners which
would make their escape easy
Mr.. Hart claims that unless this Gag
ing is done as suggested, that there
will be jail delivery inside Of three
days, and urges the board to take i'm
mediate action to order the elevators
not to go above the fourth floor. and
tc have the iron screens continued to
the ceiling in the corridors. The board
does not take kindly to Mr. Harris
report. inasmuch as it was Mr.. Hart
himself who made the plans for the
jail, and who recommended the STYLE
of building and also urged that iron
cages were as good as steel for the
purpose intended
