DENIES CHARGE.
Senator Benedict Did Not VIC
late the Law.
He Writes a Caustic Letter 10 Game
Warden Fullerton and Calls Up
the st. Peter Warden.

Senator Benedict has returned from
st. Paul and reports that his chances
for receiving the appointment as
United States district attorney are
very favorable. He left matters in first
class shape in st. Paul and is feeling
in very hopeful spirit.
In regard.to the report that the st.
Peter game warden wants him for an
alleged violation of the game law at
Swan lake last Saturday, he states that
he is innocent of any such offense. He
is considerably wrought up over the
matter, as he considers the charge very
unjust, and is particularly incensed
that Game Warden Fullerton of st.
Paul should have used his name in the
newspapers without having first sub
stantiated the charges.
Mr.. Benedict did not call upon Mr..
Fullerton while in st. Paul, but today
sent him letter in which he denied
that he had ever violated the game
laws and called upon Mr.. Fullerton
to present charges against him in the
courts if he had any to make, and not
in the newspapers.
Mr.. Benedict called up the game
warden at st. Peter this forenoon by
telephone and told him that he would
be there at any time that he was
wanted, to stand trial. The st. Peter
warden denied that he had made the
statements to Mr.. Fullerton attributed
to him by the latter in yesterdays st.
Paul Pioneer Press.
Mr. Benedict intends to ask the
Pioneer Press to make a retraction in
order to save a suit for libel.
In discussing the matter today, Sena-
tor Benedict declared that he has never
violated the game laws, this year or at
any other time, and never was fined at
st. Peter or at any other place for an
infraction of these or any other laws.
At Swan lake on. the afternoon of
Aug. 31st several hunters arrived from
this city to be ready for the early
morning shooting when the law should
expire To pass the time, some of them
took their guns and fired at hawks,
mud turtles or at "a mark, but not at
ducks. The North Mankato man who
was arrested and paid fine denied
that he had shot at ducks.
1t is reported that ducks were being
shot on other parts of the lake Satur
day evening, but the ST. Peter game
warden was so occupied around the
part of the lake where the Mankato
men go that he did not have time to
protect the game that he was appoint
ed to protect. The ducks flew so high
on the morning of Sept. 1st that it
was very evident that they had been
shot at for some time, and by parties
other than from this city.
As stated yesterday, Mr.. Benedict is
an enthusiastic sportsman and has al
ways stood for game protection and
has aided in framing laws for the bet
ter protection of game. 1t is not likely
that he would violate the law, when
by waiting a few hours he would have
a whole falls shooting.

The Albert Lea Standard claims that
the more closely John Lind sticks to
business and the quieter he keeps, the
more Republican politicians and pa
pers are worried and disturbed. Pos
sibly there may be here and there a
weakened Republican paper disturb
ed, but on the whole the Republicans
are giving little thought and much
less worry to John Lind. He has been
tried once and after two year adj
ministration turned down and discre-
dited by the people. He will never be
as strong again as he was in 1898 and
1900. Gov. Van SAINT has given the
state splendid administration and
the people will endorse it in good
shape next year.

MCKINLEY'S ADMINISTRATION
Some of the Things the Stricken Presi.
dent Has Accomplished.
St. Paul Pioneer Press :

st. Paul Pioneer Press:
1t is too soon to say what relative
rank among the statesmen of the re-
public history will assign to President
Mckinley if he should fail to recover.
Few presidents have been called upon
to face questions so momentous or to
guide the republic over seas where
the charts of experience and precedent
were of less assistance. Few. conse-
quently, have had to face so much cri
ticism that was less deserved. Yet
already he has lived long enough to
see his policies indicating themselves
and those who we're most bitter in
their denunciation either shamed into
silence or openly acknowledging the
wisdom of his course and the upright
ness of his intentions. Sparing of
words except when occasion has called
for speech, President Mckinley has let
his acts speak for him, and the record
of his administration is more eloquent
as to his clear vision of the large ends
to be attained and as to his ability TO
adapt the means at his disposal to the
attainment of those ends than any
amount of verbiage.
mo judicious. person assigns to him
alone the wonderful change in material
prosperity or the enviable position
which this country holds as a recog-
nized power in the world of interna-
tional commerce and of international
politics. An overuling Providence,
whether it be termed Destiny Or the
Course of Events, has done what no
statesman however great could have
accomplished. Yet it should not be
forgotten that weak man or a vacil-
lating man, one who was not actuated
by the highest conceptions of the duty
of the nation, or one who did not see
clearly the true principles of national
W ell-beine, would have brought moth
ing but shame and disaster to the
| country under similar conditions.
Five years ago. when President Nc
Kinley was nominated, the country
| was in the throes of the serious COM
mercial depression which it had ever
experienced. Deficit had followed de-
felt and bond issue had followed bond
| issue in order that the standard of
| value might be maintained and the
nation saved from bankruptcy. The
| immediate need was such revision of
the tariff that surplus might be look
ed for instead of deficit, and the
larger need was a restoration of con-
fdence in the ability and the purpose
of the government to pay its obliga-
lions in gold. While Mr.. Mckinley
had identified himself with tariff
| measures to the exclusion of the cur
rency question, he grasped the import
ance of the latter question. and on his
election showed his determination to
sustain the credit of the country and
his conviction of the need of currency
reform by selecting as his secretary of
the treasury Lyman J. Gage. The act
| did as much as the election itself to
restore confidence, and when few
| weeks after the inauguration Secretary
Gage announced definitely and expli-
city that the influence of the admin
istration would be thrown in support

TO TRY AGAIN.
Board of Trade Members Criti-
else Action of Council,
Will Again Request That Ntw Charter
be Published .--D0 Not Like Desire
of Pc pie Turned Aside.

At the board of trade Monday
M. B. Haynes referred to the refusal
of the council to submit the new
charter to special election or to pub
fish it so that people might acquaint
themselves with its features. That
body, ne said, had taken it upon them
selves to prevent the people from pass
ing judgment upon it, and claimed
there was no call for it's submission.
He said a petition signed by 1873 voters
was submitted asking that special
election be called, and that only two per
sons seen had refused to sign it. That
was the only chance there had been
to judge of public sentiment, and it
had been practically unanimous in
favor of such an election. But the
members Of the council did not like
the new charter for some unknown
reason, and had set themselves above
the people in this respect.
DR.. Andrews said he agreed with
what Mr.. Haynes had said. There had
not been council here for the last
ten or twelve years that had not want
ed new charter. The council he
thought, had no more right to say that
the people did not want the new char
ter or should not have it than any
other body of citizens He could not
see where it made any difference
whether the council liked the new
document or not. That question is for
the people, and the people should have
a chance at the earliest opportunity to
SO decide. That was the idea which
prevailed when the commission was
appointed, and was the reason the
matter was pushed at that time. 1t
should be published and submitted at
the earliest day possible.
Jno. N. Hall said it was ridiculous
to think that five or six men should
know more as to what the people want
than the people do themselves, and ex-
pressions made daily show that the
people want an opportunity to pass
judgment upon the work of the char
ter commission.
John Klein said he thought the COM
mission which framed the charter
was composed of as good men as there
are in the city and he thought their
judgment as good as that of the coun-
Gil.
After some further discussion Dr.
Andrews moved that the council be
specially requested to publish the char
ter and the old committee with q. N.
Andrews as chairman was appointed
to present the matter to that body.
On motion of Jno. N. Hall the fol-
lowing resolutions regarding the
| county exhibit and the success it won
at the state fair were adopted:
Whereas. The officers of the Blue
Earth county agricultural society have
made successful exhibit at the Min
| nesota state fair for 1901, thus enabl-
| ing this county to take its proper place
at the head of the agricultural counties
of the state, therefore
Resolved, That the Mankato board
of trade congratulate them on their
good work and the skill, energy and
ability displayed in the exhibition, and
Resolved, That we urge our people
to attend the county fair whenever
possible, not only for the fair itself,
but as compliment to the officers of
the Agricultural society and notably
| VIM. Fl. Over.

Chicago, Sept. 9.-There will be no

them. The edict has gone forth from
Mayor Harrison and Superintendent

an anarchistic origin and to arrest
the speakers If violent language is

of conference that he had with May

and will defend the others.
The Free Press this afternoon re-
ceived the following from st. Peter:
Special to the Free Press
st. Peter, Mimi, Sept. 9.-State
Senator G. l.. Benedict of Mankato
was arraigned before Justice 81. E.
Miller on warrant charging him
with having snipe in his possession
Aug. 31st, in violation of the laws of
1901. 1t was expected that State Game
and Fish Commissioner Fullerton of
st. Paul would arrive on the noon
train, but he failed to put in an ap-
pearance. Deputy Warden Chas. L.
Key of st. Peter, who made the COM
plant, was absent from the city, and
County Attorney G. R. Davis was in
LIE Sueur.
Under these circumstances, contin-
uance was taken until Thursday, and
Senator Benedict was allowed to go
on his own recognizance. He made
the statement to friends that heswould
fight the case to finish, that he was
not guilty, that he dii not kill any
snipe or have them in his possession
The snipe were on the ground and
none of the party claimed them or ad-
mitted killing them.
Warrants have been issued for Oscar
Bierbauer and Frank Pohl of Mankato,
charging them with an otfense similar
to that with which Mr.. Benedict is
charged, but the sheriff was unable to
find the parties. Mr.. Bierbauer had
departed for South Dakota.
The case is attracting much atten-
tion, especially among the local
hunters and politicians 1t is likely to
be sensational case before it is COM
pleted.
The first one of the party of hunters
at Swan lake that arrived from Man
kato Aug. 81, that was arrested by
Game Warden Key was Joseph Schingle
of North Mankato, who pleaded guilty
and paid fine rather than fight the
case, although denying his guilt. He
had pressing business to attend to, and
could not afford to lose the time that
two or three trips to st. Peter would
have required.

Sheriff Mcmillan of st. Peter came
to the city Monday and served a
warrant upon Senator Benedict, charg-
ing him with violating the game laws.
Mr.. Benedict assured the sheriff of
his Willingness to accompanying to
st. Peter. The sheriff had warrants
for two other gentlemen who live in
this vicinity, one being we'll known
resident of Mankato. Mr.. Benedict
will plead not guilty and fight the case
and will defend the Others

Chicago, Sept. 9.-In every pulpit
in Chicago Sunday denunciation of an
archy and it's followers was the theme
of the morning sermon. The indigna-
ton and horror of the people at the
attempt on the presidents life seemed
to have frozen even Christian charity,
for the prayers for the speedy recov-
cry of the chief executive were fol-
lowed by stirring demands in SER
mons that anarchy be stamped out
so effectually that not a vestige be
left.

every church in indianapolis Sunday
special services of prayer were held on
account of the precarious condition

the event and it's effects, while others
took vigorous positions on treatment
of the anarchist question. In private
conversation several of the most
prominent ministers of the city have
said that this was a case where lynch
ing seemed justifable.
