WILLIAM HI. WALSH TRIED TO
COMMIT SUICIDE AT THE
COL0NNADE
WIFE's PARENTS DIsLIKED HIM
Compelled His Bride to Leave Him,
and He Brooded Over the
Compulsory Separa-
ton,

William Fl. Walsh, who for the PAST
three weeks has been staying at the
Colonnade, Tenth and st. Peter streets,
made an unsuccessful attempt at suicide
i'll his room at the hotel yesterday morn
ing at 80 o'clock. He was seen about
fifteen minutes earlier by chamber
maid lying on a couch with a bottle in
his hand. Shortly after his roommate,
Robert w. Leach, entered the room and
found him lying on the floor. He imme-
diately summoned a physician, and it
was found that Walsh had taken dose
Of laudanum. Antidotes were quickly aG-
ministered, and the young man was soon
pronounced out of danger.
Walsh has been Respondent for some
time, owing to family troubles. He was
married about two months ago to a
young woman popular in local society.
Her parents took such a strong dislike
to him that they would not permit the
young couple to live together Walsh
brooded over the separation so much
that it unbalanced his mind, and yes
terdays rash act was the climax
Even after out of the effects of the
drug he made frantic attempt at jump
ing out of the window, but was restrain
ed by those present in the room.
Walsh, in company with Leach and two
other young men, has a portrait estab-
ishment at 13S East Sixth street. He is
about twenty-five years old.

.GYPS|ES Told 70 MOVE
HEALTH DEPARTMENT TOOK A
HAND IN THE WEST SIDES
TROUBLES YESTERDAY
MENACE TO PUBLIC HEALTH
Their Camp at Bidwef1 Street and
Strylxer Avenue Was So Con-
sidered by the Au-
thOrities.

The band of gypsies, who have been
holding forth on the West Side the past
week, have become such an intolerable
nuisance that orders have been issued
by the health and police authorities for
them to move, and that without delay.
When the crowd, some fifty in number,
trekked into st. Paul they set up a
camp by the roadside, but complaints re-
garding their thieVing habits became 50
great that the police interfered and they
sought refuge in some of the tumble
down old houses on Bidwell street and
Stryker avenue.
This took them beyound the jurisdiction
of the police, to the end that they had
place of abode, but even this IS now
to be denied them. Investigation by the
health authorities brought to light the
fact that their sanitary surroundings are
of the vilest, their number and method Of
living jeopardizing the health of the
neighborhood
Health Inspectors Bremen and O'Neil,
accompanied by several police officers,
gave them notice to move to some other
cline yesterday, and if the order is not
obeyed today they will be thrown out
bag and baggage
1t is claimed that as a result of their
presence several burglaries on the West
Side have been attempted and many
small articles purloined.
Katrina and Anna Corombo members
of the gypsy band which recently invaded
the city, were in police court Yesterday
charged with vagrancy and begging. The
cases were continued until today.

At the thirty-eighth. ,parlor. conference

subject of '"The Indeterminate Sentence"

directed against the public as dis

A successful attempt at wireless tel
by employees of the Northwestern Tele-
phone Exchange company. The test was
made across the Mississippi river at the
short line bridge. While the distance was
not as great as at Lake Harriet, where
the test failed, it was greater than at
Powderhorn lake. The parallel wires Were
stretched on each side of the river at
the point of it's greatest width, so they
were about 1000 feet apart. Each wire
was about 200 feet long Owing to the
darkness it was with some difficulty that
the arrangements were made for the ex-
pertinent but after the wires had been
stretched and the instruments placed in
position, James G. Kelsey and William
Reid began to talk to each other from
opposite sides Of the river, and each could
distinctly hear the other,

river was made, and the volt meter
showed A of a volt It is believed this is
due to some escape of current from the

but it was a disturbing element, while

one found in the river. Only seven volts
of battery were used last evening and

ATTORNEY GENERAL CALLED IN
Boards of Appeal at Minneapolis
and Duluth Had Disagree
ment over the Grades
of Grain.

Attorney General Douglas rendered an
opinion yesterday in which he settled a
tangle between the boards of appeal at
Minneapolis and Duluth, anent the double
inspection of grain The questions asked
of the attorney general are as follows:
If a car of grain inspected, reinspeeted
and appealed at Minneapolis is shipped
to Duluth, is the grade thus fixed at
Minneapolis by the hoard of appeal at
Minneapolis on said grain final?
If the Minneapolis inspection and ap-
peal is final, is the Duluth inspection
department authorized to demand a seal
ed record of such car in order to prove
its identity, and in ease such sealed re-
cord does not accompany the notice Of
such Minneapolis grade, will. in zsuch
case, the Duluth Inspection and board of
appeals be justified ins placing a different
grade on such grain Ewhen, in their judg-
ment, the quality GtF1ereof warrants it?
The attorney general answers that the
grade fixed by the Board of appeals in
Minneapolis is final 51Ie also says that
there is no provisfon2iby law of sealing
or furnishing of a sealed. record.
