MOSSLER'S CASE UP
HACK DRIVER CHARGED WITH
ASSAULT IS BEFORE
JUDGE BUM
PLAINTIFF TELLS HER STORY
Judge Jaggard Grants Divorce to
Man Who Says He Paid $4,000
for Living at Home Sew
enteen Days.

Yesterday afternoon Judge Bum and
a jury were engaged in trying the case
of the state against Matt Mossler hack
driver. charged with taking indecent lib
critics with Florence Crane on the even
ms of Sept. s.
After securing the Jury Miss Crane,
who is quiet, dgnitied young
woman, took the stand and told of her
meeting with Mossler. She was leaving
the Merchants hotel, and about a block
from the hostelry Mosslcr accosted her
from the box of his hack. She did not
reply to him at that time and he drove
Up to the corner where he dismounted
from his box and blocked her way On
the sidewalk. She told him that she
was going to her horne, at Eighth and
Jackson street, and he persuaded her
TO enter the hack to be driven there.
She is not very posiave as to the Ill
rection she was driven, but testified that
Mossler stopped in front of a saloon and
asked her to have u drink, which invi-
tation she declined Driving on a little
farther he again stopped and entered the
hack and attempted to assault her. She
managed to get out of the hack, saying
she wanted to fix her hat which had
been torn off in the struggle, and as
soon as she was on the ground she began
to run. He gave chase and had just
caught her as & man, who proved to be
one William Smith, heard her screams
and ran toward her, whereupon Mossler
turned and, mounting his box, drove
swiftly away. There was another wom-
an on the scene at the time, but she has
not been found as yet.
Miss Crane was evidently i'll at
ease during the hearing The de-
PENDANTS attorney failed, however,
in his attempt to confuse her as
to directions and her actions. The idea
of the defense seems to be to tangle
things up to such a degree of m1sun-
derstandmg that it will be impossible
for the jury to get at the facts in the
case at all clearly. He has failed so far,
however, in his attempts to confuse eth
er Miss Crane or William Smith, who
was on the stand when the adjournment
was taken yesterday. Smith told a
plain, straightforward story of what he
knew about the case. and met the de-
PENDANTS attorney in every attempt he
made to tangle the witness.
The hearing will be resumed at 10
o'clock this morning

STUDIED UNDERGROUND TUBES
August Belmont and Party Return
From EUrOne

LONDON, Oct 29-Messrs. August Bel
mont, Mcdonald, Bryan, Deyo, Van
Vieck and Stillwell having completed
their survey of the underground railroa ds
OF Europe, will start on their return to
New York tomorrow on the White Star
line steamer Oceanic from LIVERPOOL with
much useful information for the benefit
OF New York City's underground road.
MI Belmont said today to a represen-
tatlve of the Associated Press:
we met with the greatest courtesy
everywhere, and all possible opportuni-
ties of seeing what we wanted TO see
were granted to us. We secured much
valuable data, especially regarding sta
tlons and power houses It would not be
courteous if 1 made comparisons with
the various roads we went over. You
cannot compare London's tube with the
New York road, for our line is being
constructed on an entirely different prin-
ciple.''
Mr.. Belmont has also had important
conferences with the turf authorities. He
said he saw the officials of the English
and French jockey clubs, and that they
eyinced the most friendly desire to enter
into reciprocal arrangements with the
fsew York club. Mr.. Belmont added: 81
cannot disclose the details until 1 con-
suit my American colleagues. But you
can say there is a good outlook for
thoroughly reciprocal arrangements be-
tween these organizations.

WILL COVER ICE WITH SALT.
Residents Preparing to Make Troa-
BILE for the Ice Companies.

Residents preparing to Make TrOu.
bic for the Ice Companies.
The old controversy between the resi-
dents on the shores of Lake Calhoun and
the various ice companies who get their
summer supply of ice from the lake
threatens to break out fresh and early
this fall.
Injunctions were gotten out against the
ice companies last winter, but they did
not prevent the companies from going
right along and getting out their crop
as usual.
This year, it is stated on reliable au-
thority, the residents have purchased
fifty barrels of salt which they intend
sprinkling the ice with as soon as it Is
frozen hard enough to permit of going
on it with safety. The theory is that
this will honeycomb the ice to such an
extent that it will not be fit for CONNER
cial purposes.
The Boston Ice company and the Ce-
dar Lake Ice company are the only ones
in Minneapolis who have shore privileges
and they will resort to law to protect
their rights. The case is one of consid-
cradle interest, and the outcome is anx-
iously awaited.

TALLY-Ho TIPPED OVER.
Emma KOpIitz Wants City to Pay
for Her Injuries.

Judge Brill and a jury are trying the
suit Of Emma Koplitz against the city
of st. Paul to recover damages for per-
sonal injuries sustained it is alleged, by
the condition Of the street at Dale street
and Maryland avenue, where, on the
evening of July last, the tally-ho in
which she and a party of friends were
returning from Lake Johanna was over
turned. She wants to be reimbursed to
the extent of 5000.
A dash of humor was injected into the
case by the replies of Herman Klein, a
juryman, who was called on the case.
When asked if he had ever worked for
the city he replied that he had. He
worked with an asphalt paving gang,
not for the contractor but directly for
the city. Counsel asked Linn, DO you
ever expect to work for the city again.
and the juryman replied, Not unless l
get pretty hard up" from which it was
CLEANED that inasmuch as Klein did not
think much of the city as a paymaster,
he might be biased IN the case at hand,
and he was dismissed.
