THE TRADE WITH GREECE
The Colonel Served in the War
Against Turkey-SOme of
His Views.

Colonel N. Schinas, an officer of the
Greek army and citizen of Athens, who
is making study of ways and means
to improve the trade of Greece with the
United States, is at the West. The colo
mel says that Greece has several lines
Of merchandise on which she can increase
her trade with this country as soon as
more direct steamship service is estab-
lished.
"Our wines and fruits are big items of
export" said the colonel, "and much of
these that you now receive come by way
of England We have a fine quality OF
marble and building stone that can be
found nowhere else in the world. AS this
country grows more particular in it's
architecture it will want our marble.
The fact that steamship lires to give
American ports more direct service with
the Mediterranean are being established
encourages us to look for more trade in
this direction
Colonel Schinas is the first representa-
tive Of Greece to visit the west on such
a mission. He is greatly impressed with
the resources of this part of America.
The colonel served in the war with Tur-
key. He says that had Greece been given
an opportunity to use her navy as she
desired, she could have made much bet
ter showing. He says that Bulgarian
brigands such as have abducted Miss
Stone, the missionary, are considered one
of the most dangerous elements in south
ern Europe.

The GOV. ACCEPTSIT
Resignation Of VIM. B. Mitchell of
the Normal Board.
DEEP REGRET AT LATTER'S ACTION
His Caustic Letter Will Not Be Made
Public Unless Mr.. Mitchell
Gives 1t Out.

Governor Van SAINT has accepted the
resignation of William B. Mitchell as q
director in the state normal school board.
The resignation was received Mondoy,
but was not acted on or made public, IN
the hope that the St. Cloud man would
reconsider his decision and withdraw it.
Four days having elapsed with no word
from Mr.. Mitchell, the governor wrote him
as follows:
| regret exceedingly your conclusion to
sever your relations with the board, and in
behalf Of the state desire to thank yeu most
heartily for the interest taken by you in mat
ters pertaining to our normal schools and for
the efficient and, painstaking manner in which
you have discharged your duties as a mem
Der Of such board.
l presume you have given the matter ma
ture consideration, so there is no course open
to me but to accept the proffered resigna-
ton, which do with the greatest regret.
Mr.. Mitchells' resignation is deeply re-
gretted by the members of the normal
school board. He has been identified with
normal school interests ever since the
st. Cloud institution was built, and has
guided its business affairs well. He felt
deeply the course Of the board Of control
in ignoring the normal board and resented
it in plain language. At last Saturday )
meeting he told w. d. Lee that he would
not serve on the board under the board Of
control for $4,000 a year.
His fellow members are sorry he did not
withhold his resignation till the courts
have passed on the status of the board.
The letter of resignation was a very
caustic one. Governor Van SAINT declines
to make it public, saying that it is for
Mr.. Mitchell to say whether it is to be
published.

THE POLITICS OF SPAIN
A CLOSE VIEW BY S. CApDEvILA
Senior CapdeviIa Has Just Returned
From q Tour of the
World.

Salvador Capdevila, a member Of the
firm of Emilio Lopez & Co., who repre-
sented his house in Minneapolis for two or
three years, was in the city to-day enroute
east, having just returned from a sojourn
in Madrid. Spain.
During his absence of two years Senor
Capdevila made a tour of the world, trav-
cling in France, Spain, Turkey, Egypt and
Africa. While in Madrid he met the
prime minister, Sagasta, whom he calls
the grand old man of Spain. He says:
Sagasta is an exceedingly plain and poor
man. He can be seen almost any day walk
ing the streets Of Madrid. He occupies a
house given him by a friend. He is, how
ever, the real head of the Spanish govern
ment as the royal family cuts but very little
figure in the affairs Of state The nobility,
in fact, only keeps up the semblance of power
and about all the royal family and titled
aristocracy pretend to do is to entertain each
other with great and imposing social func-
tions.
The liberal party, as headed by Sagasta,
holds the reins of government, and is work
ing hard to defeat the plans of what is
known as the clerical party. This faction is
allied with the Caarlists, who are trying to
disrupt the government and to destroy the
monarchy, but they will not succeed. The
liberal party is making much headway. Sa-
gasta is making some interesting moves on
the political chessboard of Spain, and, what
may appear strange to an outsider is often
only a bluff. Sagasta is every bit as proud
of the little king and loves him with as much
affection as though he were his own child.

JUMBO" And DIRWIN
Plead Not Guilty to Assault or
Daisy Wolford.
ASSAULT IN THE SECOND DEGREE
Language of Indictment Occasions
Surprise-Thirteen UnfOrtunates
Before Harrison, j.

Thirteen alleged evildoers were before
Judge Harrison this morning on grand
jury indictments. Samuel Hogan, who
shot Peter Kolick for declaring his ad-
herence to the principles Of anarchism,
was probably the most interesting. While
he was reported as having admitted the
shooting, he entered a plea of not guilty
this morning.
There was some surprise that the in
dictment against Frank Irwin and
Jumbo John Stock was only for as
sault in the second degree. The victim,
Daisy Wolford was almost murdered and
for days her life hung in the balance
The maximum Imprisonment in case OF a
conviction would be only five years at
Saltwater. Both men pleaded not guilty
Three. indictments were returned
against Edward Hickey, the busy burglar
Other indictments were as follows:
Robert Rosenthal, larceny; Louis Haugan
non-support; Peter Pitman, larceny; Jerry
Reardon, larceny; Nicholas Clevstad, passing
forged check; Albert Ewing, horse stealing
Hugh O'Donnell and Fred Smith, larceny
Peter Blair keeping his saloon open on Sun
day.
Rosenthal, Haugan and Pitman pleaded
guilty and will be sentenced later on.

GOOD HALL ASSURED
Commercial Club Leases the Expo
for a Year.
WILL GO AFTER CONVENTIONS
The Lease VIII End All Ambiguity
NE. A. Meeting Is For
maIIy Sought.

The public affairs committee Of the
Commercial Club has leased the exposition
building for a year in order to insure ac-
commodations for large conventions which
Minneapolis hopes to secure for the COM
ing year. Negotiations pending for some
time, were finally brought to head yes
terday. The decision Of the public affairs
committee to extend an invitation to the
National Educational association to hold
it's next convention in Minneapolis has
been delayed until these negotiations were
closed, as the future of the exposition
building was in doubt. The lease insures
quarters for all the big conventions that
may be brought here next year, and the
Commercial Club convention committee
will at once enter upon an aggressive
campaign for conventions.
Chairman F. R. Salisbury Of the con-
vention committee, left for Chicago last
night, where he will present the invitation
of Minneapolis to the executive commit
tee of the National Educational associa-
tion this afternoon. Several other cities
are after the convention. St. Paul is one
of the later entries.

DUE NEXT TUESDAY
Sheriff Megaarden's Indictment Is
Expected When G. ]. Meets.
TWELVE COUNTS PREDICTED
The Exact Form of the Charge Has
Not Yet Been De-
cided.

1t Is the genral belief at the courthouse
that the grand jury will return indict-
ments against Sheriff Philip T. Megaarden
next Tuesday or Wednesday. 1t has
probably not yet been decided just what
form the indictment will take. 1t was
held by many members Of the present jury
during the September. meeting that ii
Sheriff Mesaarden had not done anything
more venal than his predecessors and had
made ample restitution, he should be
leniently dealt with. Since then, how
ever, the books have been thoroughly
gone over ard things found which may be
accorded to precedent but which seem a
dubious legality
1t may be possible to charge any of
three offenses, all felonies. namely:
Grand larceny misappropriation Of pub
lie funds and perjury in swearing to false
charges against the county.
1t is said that indictments on no less
than twelve counts are being prepared for
submission to the grand jury at its next
meeting.
In case indictments are returned, the
warrants will be given to Coroner .. G.
Williams to serve, as it would be mani
testify improper to turn them over to the
sheriff or any of his deputies. 1t is as
sumed that the coroner will take complete
charge Of the Office and either install his
own deputies or retain the present force.
Presumably he will be in charge only until
the county commissioners have held q
meeting and selected some one or the cor
oner may hold forth until the cases have
been disposed Of

REFUNDS IN STYLE
Lawyers Now Being Paid Rebates
by Clerk Dickey.
OLD DEPOSITS TO COVER FEES
Some of the Money Has Been
Due Attorneys for Eight
Years.

Restitution seems to be the order of the
day among courthouse officials. On the
heels of the news that Sheriff Megaarden
has turned nearly $4,000 into the county,
comes the information that within the
past few months G. N. Dickey, clerk of the
district court, has rebated to attorneys Of
the city about $4,000. The game is still
going merrily on and attorneys or their
representatives are to be found daily at
the clerks counter checking over the
books with Chief Deputy Johnson. After
the business has been concluded thew walk
away with smile of satisfaction and a
check. The money is due as balances on
deposits made to cover fees.
This is like finding money" said an at
torney this morning as he exhibited a
statement showing him to be entitled to
$40. i suppose this money has been here
all the time and / could have had it any
time that had made demand. Some Of
this money has been here eight years."
Another attorney has received over $50
in rebates during the past few months
and knew personally Of attorneys who
had been given quite shock by receiv-
ing several hundred dollars.
An attorney who had been gladdened
by receiving a neat little wad of green
backs said this morning that Mr.. Dickey
was not at fault, but the law.
The rebating is due to Investigations
made by Henry Altnow, late chief deputy,
at the request Of several prominent attor-
neys. He made discoveries that surprised
him and found it very profitable to col
lect these sums on commission. He say8
that after he began his work, several firms
he had not seen received postal cards an
nouncing that there were balances due
them, but such notices had never been
sent before.
Clerk Dickey said this afternoon that
he has no responsibility in the matter.
The law, he says, provides that the attor-
neys shall make applications for balances
due on deposits, and If the attorneys do
not apply it is their fault and not his. He
admits that there has been great rush
in the rebate business recently, and says
that it is due to the activity of an "out-
side party" who has undertaken to col
lect the rebates on commission.

OLD FRUIT NOT WANTED
Golden Valley Continues It's Fight
Against Keegan's Lake Dump.

OOAUSA Na1ley continues It's t1SnI
Against Keegan's Lake Dump.
G. E. Aman, the vigorous health officer
of the town Of Golden Valley, Hennepin
county, had lively chase yesterday after
two Greeks who were dumping decayed
fruit near Keegan's lake. He happened to
drive by just as John Malinos and Theo.
Boosalis were about to dump a malodor-
GUS load upon the forbidden ground, and he
warned the men to desist. They declined
to recognize his authority, but drove on
past the lake and were preparing to get
rid of their load at another place when
Aman again drove up. The fruit men
whipped their team into a run and tried
to escape into the country, but Aman was
too fast for them, and overtaking them
he hauled them before Justice Barner,
who imposed a fine of $13. The men did
not have the money, so the justice held
their team while the prisoners walked
back to town and secured it.
Residents of the town Of Golden Valley
began a crusade against garbage dump
ing two years ago, and their vigorous
work at that time resulted in complete
reform on the part of the scavengers.
However, some of the guild have recently
been trying to renew the practice.

WANT THEIR GUNS
Chicago SpOrtsmen Ensnared by
Game Wardens.

The state game wardens raised regu-
lar hornets nest when they seized two
trunks full Of birds in Minneapolis Tues
day. They belonged to party Of Chicago
sportsmen, who, on their arrival home,
made the wires hot with remonstrances.
Harry Glow, Of the wholesale firm of
Glow & Sons, is spokesman for the crowd.
He says the birds were shot in South Da-
kota and that they boarded the train at
Bradley. The Milwaukee officials bear out
the statement.
Executive Agent Fullerton has not made
up his mind what to do. He says the Chi
cago men violated the South Dakota law,
even If they had licenses. In that state
they are forbidden to ship more than
twenty-five birds and these must be
tagged and shipped openly.
The Chicago men do not ask for the
fifty-ive birds, but want their guns and
outfits back.

AMES' LABEL CASE
Mandamus for Payment of the City
Printing Bill Is Submitted.

Judge Elliott has taken under advise
ment the mandamLs case Of the Tribune
company against Mayor Ames to compel
him to sign a warrant for $685. due the
Tribune for publishing the official pro-
cedings of the city council. The Tribune
contends that when the council awarded
the contract for the official printing to the
Tribune it virtually revoked the Rand
resolution providing that the official paper
shall bear the label of the Allied Printing
Trades council. The mayors position is
that the Rand resolution has the dignity
of an ordinance and cannot be repealed
simply by implication. The paper vio-
lated its contract in failing to print the
label as required by the specifications and
the mayor could take cognizance Of this
fact,
