ward About Taking the Grim
3nal WORKS This Term.

Judge Lewis announced yesterday
morning to the judiciary of the district
court that unless two senior judges
were assigned to sit with him in the
criminal division at the trial of all
bank cases which may come up during
the present regular term, he would be
called upon as source of protection
to himself from unpleasant pubic
comment upon the conduct of the trials
to ask for transfer to other branches
Of the court. The three senior judges
of the court are Brill, Kelly and Otis.
and Judge Lewis demand is now under
consideration by the bench. In all
probability it will be granted, in which
event two judges will be selected from
among the seniors.
Il have taken this stand in the mat
ter of the bank cases. said Judge
Lewis to G o b reporter because
of the great general interest the public
will have in the outcome of the band
cases. l feel that it would be too much
of task for one judge to handle these
cases alone, and with two of the senior
members of the bench to rely upon for
assistance in technical law and pro-
ceedure more satisfactory results will
be obtained for all parties. 1 have
presented the matter to the other
judges as 1 see it, and think they will
acquiesce that my request is just
one"
On July 1 last Judge Lewis turn to
preside over the criminal division OF
the court for three months expired, and
with the October term Judge Otis
should have been assigned to the GRIM
inal work. That Judge, however, hal
reasons for asking to be excused from
the work, which he gave to the other
judges. Because Gof the bank cases
members of the bench were backward
about taking the work off of Judge
Otis hands until finally Judge Lewis
consented to relieve Judge Otis. He
does not object to trying all criminal
cases other than those involving ex-
bankers under5indictment alone, which
he will do, but in these cases he is
very determined to have help. The
judge says that public interest in the
outcome of these cases is so more gen
Ell al than is private interest, and that
ewing to the prominence of the ac-
cused men every stage of the trials
will be watched closely and commented
upon. He does not relish the idea of
shouldering all of the responsibility for
the conduct of the trials in the face of
such burden and the Importance OF
the cases, and that is the reason why
he has asked for help from the senior

which has been the scene of so many
gay festivities and has sheltered under
its roof the aristocracy and wealth Of

1t was about lilo when John the
fisherman" a famous character about
the lake. and who at the time was fish
ing near the Crystal bay bridge,
thought that he saw flames at the end
of the servants wing. He made all
haste to reach the hotel, which was
about three-quarters of a mile away
There he found that others had also
noticed the flames and with them
determined effort was made to stop the
in7nanding doom. The building was
entered and the use of hand grenades
and chemical extinguishers brought
Sto use but they all failed to make any
in7nression upon the fire. A couple OF
barrels of water would have come INTO
good stead at that time, but 1t was
found that the water connections had
been shut off That act sealed the
doom of the hotel. When the little
rarty of men and women who had col
lected to fight the fire saw that it was
of no use they with reluctance turned
away and let the devouring elements
have full sway.
The fire was first discovered on the
second floor over the kitchen. This
part of the building is separate from
the main building and was used for
the domestic purposes. 1t was towards
FT.AJ l1n
southwest and for a time it was hoped
by the fire fighters that this would
prevent the rapid spread of the flames
or perhaps, it was vain hope, even
to prevent the fire from spreading to
the main structure. However, hopes
were of no avail and within twenty

AND; by the, way, speaking of Bis
marek, | saw Tire great old statesman
at Frtedrichsruhe. l stood at the gate
of his castle and watched him as he
rode by in carriage. Fully 300 other
people prompted by the same desire
to see an iron chancellor as possessed

Every day hundreds of people gather,
at FREDERICKSBURG to get a glimpse of
Bismarck and do homage to him for
what he has done for Germany
While 1 was in Germany I made a.
thorough study of the consular sys-
tenn, and, wherever the opportunity
afforded, | visited the consulate of the
various nations. At Stuttgart l called
on ex-senator e. H. Ozmun, of Min
nesota, the newly-appointed United
States consul to that city. At Dresden
| visited Mr.. Cole, and at Wurtemberg
l also visited the American consulate.
Mr.. Ozmun is just getting settled in
his new position, and he was delighted
to see me, l can assure you. But
speaking of the consulate system of
the United States my observation of
its workings in Germany convinces me
that 1T ought to be improved. A con-
sui should be a business man with a
thorough knowledge of commercial af-
fairs, but 1 must say in all sincerity
that not all of the United States con-
suls in Germany are so qualified. Then
the frequent changes of consuls are de-
moralizing to the system, as we'll as
is the fact that many of our represen-
tativeS go abroad without so much as
a smattering of other languages to
help them along. This is one of the
greatest drawbacks of the American
consul in Europe. Other countries Sc

that they are always more capable of
rendering efficient service to their
countries than the average American
consul is of maintaining the prestige

five minutes after the fire was discov-
cred it had reached the main building.
Then the crowd of several hundred
late summer residents and natives saw
the grandest bonfire which they will
probably ever witness. The great
halls and open spaces in the main
building were just the places for a fire
to run wild and it did in manner
that astonished people. Five minutes
after the fire broke through the roof at
the center of the building both ends
were blazing.
1t was short story after that. The
immense structure, nearly LOCO feet in
length was one mass of flames. A
witness of the scene describes it as the
most awe inspiring sight that he ever
saw. There was the building, it's very
size inspiring people with respect, be-
ing swept tway to oblivion with a
small crowd of people looking on, per-
fectly helpless to do anything and yet
knowing that something very dear to
them was forever LOST.
The heat from the building was so
great that nobody could get within
1000 feet OF it, and the flower beds and
vines over the hedges in front Of the
hotel were scorched and witnered at a
distance of 600 feet Burning embers

Last week.
At yesterday mornings meeting of
the board Of county commissioners the
claim of eX-County Commissioner Nels
j. Ness, for extra and uneXpected''
work on q contract amounting to SIS,
was not allowed. Mr.. Ness secured a
contract recently from the county
amounting to $500, for the construction
of a culvert over Battle creek. 1t was
a losing contract to him and in max
ing the excavation he met with uneX-
pected obstacles which caused him
less of about $3.50. The board held that
it would not "be business to allow the
claim.
Then the board discussed the at
tempted abatement of the Germania
banks tax on the assessment of the
capital stock during which Commits
sioner Quehl and Keilermann did most
of the talking. Mr.. Kellermann took
occasion to attempt to wipe out the
odium attached to the affairs by re-
futing his statement made one day last
week to the effect that certain men,
bers of the beard-"the boys as he
put it-had asked him to vote for the
abatement. No attempt was made to
bring the abatement matter up again
and it was passed over.
