EVANS JURY is OUT
NO VERDICT YET RETURNED IN
CASE OF ALLEGED CON-
FIDENCE MEN
DEFENSE MADE STRONG FIGHT
Attorney Hall scores Police Activ-
ity i'm the Case, but State
Expects 10 Secure Evans
Conviction.

The jury in the case of r. G. Evans,
one of the trio of alleged confidence men,
went out at noon yesterday, and up to
late hour last night had not reported.
The defense made a strong case and
seemed determined to clear the man if
possible.
They claim that Nor,nrop is not the
innocent young man he represents him
self to be, but is somewhat experienced
in the ways of the world, and introduced
the game of cards to the defendants, and
his friends, Fay and Cartney.
County Attorney Kane, in closing,
dwelt somewhat at length upon the
manner and demeanor Of Evans, and
Mrs. Evans, who was in the court room,
cried a good deal during his remarks.
Harvey e. Hall spoke for the defense,
and scored the police department for the
active interest it had taken in the
case. There seems to be no doubt
around the county attorneys office and
in police circles as to the verdict. They
are sure they will secure conviction,
as they did in the case of Fay, and hope
to in the case of Cartney.

TRAINS IN COLLISION
MILWAUKEE FREIGHT AND OMAHA
TRANSFER HAVE A CRASH
Engineer Cane, of the milwaukee,
Badly Bruised, but Not Serious
ly-Blame for Accident
Not Placed.

serious accident was narrowly averted
last evening when freight train No. "a, on
the Iowa and Minnesota division of the
Milwaukee road, met an Omaha Transfer
train in a head-end collision under the
Smith avenue bridge last evening at 9:45.
Engineer James Cane, of the Milwaukee
train, was badly bruised, but no other
persons were injured in the wreck. Cane
was taken to his home at 24l Goodhue
street, which is but short distance from
the scene of the wreck, and when seen by
The Clio be reporter last evening was
resting comfortably, and Mrs. Cane SAID
he would be about his work In; rev
days.
The Milwaukee train was pulled by en-
CINE No. and was in charge Of Conduc-
tor Oleson. It passed the Western ave-
nue. station at 9:20, and few moments
later met the Omaha train as menuoned
above. Just how the wreck came ABOUT
seems to be mystery, unless the Omaha
crew thought that the Milwaukee train
was on the other track. The track at
the Mace of the collision is straight, and
II 10 possible to see a train for several
rods. A little to the west of the place
where the traits met is q switch, anu a.
is quite probable that the engineer or the
Omaha train thought the Milwaukee train
would switch off at this place. When
he saw his mistake, the distance between
the two engines was too short to enable
them to stop in time to avert the wreck.
The Milwaukee train was composed or
eight cars, while the Omaha was pulling
sixteen.
When it was imminent that the trains
were going to collide, Fireman Pugh, OF
the Milwaukee train, jumped and al1ght-
ed without injury. Engineer Cane stayed
with his train until the crash came ana
then sprang from the cab. He was
caught by some of the broken timbers
and received several bruises, but mad
M broken bones. The force of the col
lision was so great that the cab and the
tender of the Milwaukee engine teie~
scoped, smashing them up badly. The
Omaha engine was also considerably
damaged. The Omaha train was in
charge of Conductor ]. K. Redner and
Engineer Patsy Heating. 1t was pulled
by Engine No. 209 while the Milwaukee
engine was No. 1, Which has been on
the short line run from MENDOZA to ST.
Paul for several years. The blame for
the wreck has not yet been placed.

gagged and said Don Juan of Austria had
brought his galleys into action in half
moon formation and had destroyed the
enemy's fleet by the superiority of their
bow fire.
The emperor concluded his remarks
with the following anecdotes:
Some fifteen or twenty years ago my
interest in and my zeal for naval aues-
lions led me to approach an old naval
officer and request OF him an explanation
of the, mentacenter Of a vessel. He
answered that he himself did not ex-
actly know what this was: and, besides,
1t was secret. He could only tell me
that If the metacenter was in the main
truck, the vessel would capsize."

SMALLPOX IN NORMAN
INSPECTOR SINKS FINDS MANY
CASES IN THAT COUNTY.

Inspector Sinks, Of the state board of
health, returned yesterday from Norman
county, where he has been investigating
reports of smallpox epidemic. He re-
ports that the disease is generally prev
alent throughout the county, and nearly
every township has it's cases, although
10 single locality has a large number, of
them. The general spread of the dis
ease through the county is attributed to
its close proximity to the White Earth
Indian reservation, where there have
been numerous cases and very lax quar-
antine regulations.
The quarantine in Norman county, Mr.
Sinks says, has not been as carefully OBJ
served as it might have been, bat meas
ures are now being taken to stamp out
the disease. A majority of the cases are
at the lumber camps and farm houses,
where it is difficult to enforce the rules
prescribed by law.
Mr.. Sinks will leave today for Bird ISL
and and other points in Renville county
to investigate the smallpox conditions
in that section.

STREET CAR COLLISIONS
THREE ACCIDENTS REPORTED
YESTERDAY, NONE SERIOUS.


Yesterday broke the record in ST. Paul
for; street car accidents, there being
three recorded for the day. The first one
occurred at 7:30 In the morning, when a
South Robert street car struck a wagon
belonging to Wolf & Lehman, wood and
coal and feed dealers. on the Robert
street bridge. The driver, Edward e.
Thomas was thrown out and painfully
injured. He was taken to his home. st

from the central police station. He is
under the care of L'r Adams.
The next accident happened at o'clock
when a Selby avenue car ran into an
American Express company's wagon at
Fourth and Washington. The wag on was
slightly damaged, but no one was in
jured.
At $50 a Como car struck load of
flour al Tenth and Wabasha. The shock
was so great that it broke several win

PLAN MAY MISCARRY
M'CARDY's SCHEME FOR REDEEM-
Ing BONDS LIKELY TO BE
FRUSTRATED
SINKING FUND AVAILABLE
Comptroller Asks for $4,000 From
General Receipts, but Confer
ence Committee Will Be
in the Way. 49,

In his latest tax estimate, or rather
budget Comptroller McCardy threatens
the diverting of miscellaneous receipts for
the coming year to the extent of $50, coo,
for the purpose of taking care of bonds
that mature next July, but his intentions
will in all probability be thwarted when
the conference committee again meets to-
morrow.
The item which comes under the head
of the redemption fund, received careless
approval from the committee at it's meet
ing last Friday, but the discussion will
be reopened tomorrow when Mr. Nc
Cardy will be asked to use his sinking
fund in caring for the amount.
To the best knowledge Of those who
discovered the error, Mr.. McCardy has
about $4,000 in the sinking fund, which,
supplemented by securities which can be
easily realized upon, will more than pay
for the bonds when they mature.
The redemption of bonds from the sink
ing fund. when such is possible, is one
of the imperative demands of the new
charter, and members of the committee
who discovered the omission are wonder
ing whether Mr.. McCardy was absent
minded when he inserted the item, or else
depended on the ignorance of the COM
mittee to slide it through.
The status OF the sinking fund or the
character of the securities he has locked
in his vaults, Mr. McCardy Is not In the
habit Of ninutely describing to the pub
lie, so the exact amount in the fund is
not known to those who intend bringing
the matter up.
Demands for appropriations are now
quite numerous. many of them meri-
torious, and in order to accommodate
them every effort is being made by the
committee to eliminate useless items. It
is expected that Mr. McCardy will make
strenuous objections to having the item
cut out.

EMPEROR I: !. IN A . DEBATE
KAISER WILHELM ATTENDS MEET.
ING OF NAVAL ENGINEERS
Thinks Germany Has the Rest Ships
1T Is Possible to Build for the
Purposes for Which They
Are Intended.

BERLIN, Nov. 13-Emperor William
participated in the debate of the society
of naval engiGeers today on the subject
of placing heavy guns on battleships and
it's effect upon their design and construc,
ton. His majesty referred to the in
fuenee of military requirements upon the
development of ship construction and
artillery and pointed out how the aim OF
Germany had always been to allow the
opinion Of the officers who had to navt-
gate ships to have as much weight and
influence as possible on the shipbuilder
and the constructor. Germany was also
the first nation able to place a captain
still on the active list at the head of the
construction bureau. -Ae believed that
the types of vessels now being launched
in German yards represented the very
best needed for the purposes of the
country or that might be demanded from
the splendid constructors and magnificent
yards of Germany.
The emperor, illustrating his conten.
ton that tactical requirements influenced
the construction of ships of war. said tho
time of the galleys had seen great de-
velopment in the matter of boat fire and
that the galleys were superior in this
respect to later battleships. He in
stanced the battle of Lepanto as the

ADAMS HAS MOTIVE
IN REGARD TO RECENT
CRITICISM
MEAT CONTRACT rs EXPLAINED
Chicago Firm Simply Bid Lower
Than Minnesotans, and Board
of Control Followed Let
ter of Law.

Once more the state board of control is
under fire of criticism by reason of its
: award Of contracts for supplies to be used
by state institutions. In this instance the
criticism is based upon the award of the
contract for meat for the Fergus Falls
insane hospital to Armour & Co.. of Chi
cago, and is; administered through the
columns of the Fergus Falls Journal. Of
which Elmer Adams is editor. In this
connection it may be pertinent to state
that Elmer Adams is also a member Of
the board of regents of the state uni
versity and his densorious attitude to-
ward the board Of control may be due
in part to that fact The Journal in a
series of articles recently printed has
taken the board sof control severely to
task for giving the meat contract for
the Fergus Falls hospital to Armour &
Co., instead of to J. O.. Billings, of Fer
gus Falls, who has heretofore supplied
That institution, and has asserted that
the specifications were changed for the
purpose of putting local bidders at a dis
advantage in competition with the larger
concerns from out of the state. Dis
cussing this question generally with r h e
G 10 yesterday afternoon, Chairman
Leavitt, of the board of control, said:
"Mr. Adams, in his paper has said a
great many severe and unjust things
about our board, anu from the nature OF
his comments and their repetition 1 can
only conclude that he is not actuated sole
ly by loyalty to his fellow-townsn1an the
meat dealer whose name has been mem
toned. but has some other object in at
tacking us. He is one of. the regents Of
the state university, and / presume that
not wishing to attack, us as a regent, he
does it as the editor of the Journal, and
uses that meat contract as the excuse.
Now as to the meat contract, will
say that our; reasonl for making certain
slight changes in the specifications under
which bids were received was that Min
nesota bidders should have better
chance. Our desire is to give the con-
tracts to the Minnesota bidders whenever
we. can, and even though that were not
the case we have the law to direct us, and
our course is plainly marked cut for US.
The law on that point is certainly clear
and admits of no f1eXibility of construc
ton. It, says: In the purchase of all
supplies Minnesota dealers shall have
the preference, when such can be given
without loss to the state That provi-
sion we have followed to the letter, and
when in awarding our last contract for
coffee it was found that one firm In Min
neapolis and one in Chicago had sub
mitted samples at the same price which
were pronounced by the experts to be
equally good in, quality, we promptly
awarded the whole contract to the Min
neapolis firm:
'tIn the bidding for this meat contract,
which mas furnished Mr.. Adams so much
material for severe criticism. Armour
& Co. were manifestly the lowest bidders,
and we could mot have awarded the con-
tract to Mr.. Billings without loss to the
state.

CONFESSES TO FORGERY
LEONARD sIMDRowsKI BOUND

Leonard Simbrowski alias James Nor

and was bound over to await the action

that he was willing to plead guilty to the
charge.
Simbrowskiss home is in Wisconsin, but
he has been in the city since June, and
has been living without working. The
police have found two checks that he
has passed. One is against the Gribben

EASY FOOD.
Ready for Instant Use without Cook

Ing.
Almost everyone likes a cereal food of
some kind at breakfast and supper, but
the ordinary way of cooking cereals re-
suits in pasty mass that requires strong
mgestlVe power to get along with, and
If not properly digested, the raw mass
goes down into the intestinal tract where
gas is generated and all sorts of troubles
set up.
Everyone knows that good food prop
erly digested keeps the body well, while
poor food, OR even food of good quality
that is poorly prepared and not digested,
is sure to bring on some kind of dis
ease.
The easiest food to digest in this line
is Grape Nuts, made from wheat and
barley, and cooked thoroughly at the
factory, some ten or twelve hours being
consumed in the different processes of
preparation. The food, therefore, is
ready for instant service and the starch
has been changed to Grape Sugar, so
that it is pre-digested and ready for al
most immediate assimilation.
Miss R. E. Phillips. a young lady at
1856 Vernon aven1ie, Chicago, writes that
she suffered for Years from indigestion
and dyspepsia from the use of food that
was not suitable to her powers of diges-
ton.
She says: 81 began using Grape-Nuts,
and confess to having had prejudice,
at first, and was repeatedly urged before
I finally decided to try the food, but 1
have not known what indigestion is since
using it, and have never been stronger
or in better health. I nave increased in
weight from 100 to 124 pounds
People can be well, practically with
out cost, if they will adopt scientific food
and leave off the indigestible sort.
Grape-Nuts Food is sold at all first
class groceries. 1t is crisp and delicious
to the taste. 1t should be served exact
ly as it comes from the package, without
cooking, except in cases where it is made
up into puddings and other desserts.
