DIR. AMES' CONDITION /
His Recovery Not as Rapid as at
Other Times.
WHAT POWERS HAS POWERS ?
The City Controller Won't Honor
His Signature ON Warrants
Browns Leap to Fame.

News from Mayor Ames is not en-
courag ging to his friends. He has shown
but little Improvement since he arrived
at West Baden, and to-day wired secre-
tary Brown that he was too feeble to
think Of returning to Minneapolis. His
friends regard his stay there as indefinite
and many believe he will never be able to
resume his official duties.
Assuming that Mayor Anne swill not be
back for two weeks at least, there arises
the interesting question Of who Is to sign
the city warrants approved at. next Fri
days. meeting Of the council. President
d. p. Jones of the council, acting mayor,
is a two days Journey distant and is not
disposed to come back. for some weeks,
except in the case Of an actual emer-
gency.. While the prevailing legal opin-
ion seems to be that Alderman Powers,
as vice president Of the council, is legally
entitled to assume all the powers OF act :
score, and Controller Rogers, to be on
the safe side, declares that no warrants
will be paid except upon the signature of
Mayor Ames or D. p. Jones'. AS presid
ing officer of the council Alderman Pow
ers, however, will unquestionably have
the right to sign the resolutions and or
dinances. ~
Secretary Brown holds himself in mod
est seclusion in the mayors inner sane
tum these days, and from there directs the
police management and speaks the may
or's part in other regards. His sudden
elevation to municipal promine ence is in
citing some considerable interest in the
east and already several requests from
metropolitan journals have come for his
photograph and story Of his career. -

walls: There has been no change, in the
odds and very little betting at the 10 to
prices quoted. The Jeffries people are
holding out for shade better quotation.
Referring to the rumor that Jeffries is
out of condition, Billy Delaney said:
1t is all nonsense. Jeffries was never in
better shape in his life than he Is right now,
or as good for that matter. He is exactly
where I want him. To keep him there I
have asked him not to do much work for the
next few days. 1t is always a sign to cut
out hard going when a man commences to
get cranky. Wednesday Jeffries was bit out
of sorts and I asked him, to call a halt. He
has done it-nothing more.
I, don't know where these rumors Of his
being sick originated, but suppose they were
put in circulation to influence the betting.
can only caution our friends throughout the
country to take no stock in such rumors and
not take fright.
Along with the rumors of Jeffries' con-
dition was another to the effect that Ed
die Graney was not to referee the fight.
That salso proved to be a fabrication,
springing from the fact that some diff
ferences existed between him and the
club as to the price for services.

COMMENT ON BRAGG
What the Cuban Papers Say of the
Incident. .>.:..

-.
+ Havana, Cuba, July 19.-The papers
here comment freely on the Bragg mat
ter. The following are samples: g.
The Decision-If the letter proves authentic
the Cuban government will courteously but
firmly address the Washington government
expressing q desire for the relief of the func-
tionary, who cannot continue persona grata
here nor longer serve effectively the interests
Of the United States, thus showing the Ameri-
can people and government the patriotic
Judgment Of the Cuban people and the firm
ness of its government
The Nacion-Bragg's statements constitute
gratuitous offense and the American gov
ernment would do well to recall him.
Republica Cubana-Bragg's removal would
be a just measure, he having shown very lit
tie consideration for the Cuban people.
: La Lucha-Bragg's letter Is an example Of
Yankee grace, but the circumstances are ex-
tenuating. Senior Quesada did we'll to re-
main outside Of Washington yesterday.
The Diario-The offense, besides being
grave, is also absurd, because the impossi-
htlity OF making whistles out OF a pigs tail
would only occur to an American. The most
surprising feature OF the matter is the way
in which the letter was brought to light. The
publication Of a private letter, written to an
other member Of the family, is susceptible of
only one possible explanation. Mrs. Bragg
did not want to come to Cuba, and chose
this indiscreet method to make her husband

WHO :, LEFT $4,000 IN CASH
His Real Name Is Salem Charles and
He Came From Brimfield,
49,, Massachusetts. -

Los Angeles, Cal, July 19.-The mys-
terry surrounding the identity Of the man
known as Charles HILL who died at
the Good Samaritan hospital in this city
on May II, leaving $142,0oO in cash, has
been solved. His real name was Salem
Charles, and his home was at Brimfeld,>
Mass.
The story of the search for heirs by the
public administrator and by his attor
ney, Leon Moss, is Interesting. After
following innumerable clues, all Of which
came to naught, Administrator kellogg
found among the old mans effects an old
family Bible, on the fly leaf of which
were written sentences almost faded and
rendered illegible by age. The writing
was magnided and the name of Charles"
and "Brim-" were deciphered. Attor-
,ney Moss went to Brimfield, Mass, and
without disclosing his identity, found a
family named Charles, which had been
prominent in that locality for 200 years.
After thorough investigation Moss con-
vinced himself that he had found the fam
lily Of the deceased.
There are eight direct heirs to the es-
tate, the most prominent of whom Is
Salem Darius Charles, chairman Of the
board Of street commissioners, Boston.
Old man Salem Charles had always been
an eccentric character, and no reason has
been found for his change of name. He Is
said to have made his money in importing
cloth while residing in Texas before and
during the civil war. .-

IT'S Up TO NORBECK
He Must Soon Decide Whether He'll
y Stand Trial Again.
MAY SAVE HIMSELF THE TROUBLE
1t IL Expected That He VIII
Plead Guilty and Ask
%L Leniency. -a

Christopher C., Norbeck, now in the
county Jail. must either fish or cut bait.
In other words he must enter a plea to-
the charge now hanging over him, Of ac-,
cepting bribe from big mitt men and de-
eide whether he will stand trial or not.
q. "A conference was held to-day between
Judge Harrison and Assistant County At
torney Al j. Smith, at which it was de-
cided soon to reopen the Norbeck case,
probably on Monday. The city detective
will be brought into court at that time
and will be asked to make his plea. It Is
probable that he will plead guilty and
throw himself on the mercy of the court.
However, no promises have been made to
him and It is, Of course, possible that he
may decide to take his chances with a
jury. t ~. e.. - ~~ ~. ,s..4.:}
Norbeck, it will he remembered, be-.
came fugitive from justice after his
trial had begun, and before the state had
quite completed its case. The evidence
against him was direct and conclusive.
He himself felt that a conviction must
follow and consequently he ran away.
Later he was taken at Carver and brought
back. .~ y
Upon his return he made a complete
confesslon. In addition, he took the
stand against Chief of Police Fred ,Ames
and there admitted that he had received
money from the big mitters, at the same
time saying that the chief was incriminat-
ed with him. He admitted, too, that he
had committed perjury during the Gard
ner trial. and said he had done SO be-
cause the mayor had told him there would
be no place upon the police force for any
one who didn't stand pat. =.
He also went before the grand Jury and
there. gave testimony which resulted, in
Indictments against other officials, includ-
ing both the mayor and his brother. the
chief Of police.
Norbeck's position is hopeless. If he
lives he must 60 TO Saltwater and he
knows it. His only course is to enter a,
plea of guilty, hoping that his sentence
may be somewhat shortened thereby.

SECTIONS II AND 50
The Interior Department Will Sell
the Timber.
SOME LOGGING NEXT WINTER
The Forestry Division to Have a
"Go" at the Chippewa Tim
ber Lands.

Building, Washington.
Washington, July 19.-Officials of the
interior>department here have reluctantly
come to the conclusion that the only
thing which can be done in the way Of
disposing of the Chippewa timber and
agricultural lands under the terms of
the Morrison bill is to sell the timber
on sections II and &c. which the supreme
court recently decided the state was not
entitled to-. It is expected that the ad-
vertisement of the sale of this timber will
be- sent out within a month, or SO that
some logging may be done next winter.
The reason that no more timber land can
be sold Is that only about 10000 acres In
the reservation have been classified as
timber and under the terms of the act
this will be needed for forestry purposes.
AS soon as lists of timber lands are
furnished, the secretary by the commits
be turned over to Clifford, Pinchot,, chief
of the forestry division of the agricul-
tural department., and he will designate
such of them as he wants to be retained
as forest The list will take some months
and in the meantime agents will be ap-
pointed to classify the remainder Of the
ceded lands. e 1t is estimated that there
are about 100000 acres unclass!f1ed and
it will take long time to prepare classi-
fication lists and approve them because Of
the necessity for the reservation Of for
estry lands and classification Of the re-
mainder.
The depart ment will not be able to ad-
vertise the sale of othed timber lands
until some time next summer, but the
officials say everything will be done SO
I that extensive logging operations may be
tcommenced in the winter of 1908. An
unexpected hitch has also arisen with re-
gard to the opening of the agricultural
lands. The Indian office to-day submit
| ted report to the department showing
| that only a few allotments remain to be
| made to Indians residing on Leech Lake,
ECass Lake, Red Lake and Winnibig-
ashish reservations, but that under the
terms Of the Indian appropriation act of
| the last session the Mile Lac Indians
must be- allowed to select allotments on
| any of the ceded reservations. There are
about 800 members of the tribe entitled
[ to a1lotments and the time in which these
can be made depends on the will Of the
Indians. Inspector Mclaughlin has been
directed by the secretary to make the al
lotments and he has also been tnstructe ed
to hurry the matter up. It is hardly prob
able therefore that any agricultural lands
will be opened to. settlement until next
fspring. ~ - - s--,,

JAMES LEADS IN MORNING
FINISHES IS HOLES, TWO U
Byers Had a Lead of Two at the
Ninth, but Was Overtaken
by Chicagoan. = IN

Glenview Golf Club, Golf, ILL.,, July 49,
The first eighteen holes match play for
the amateur golf championship between
EN-. Byers Of Pittsburg and Louis James
Of the Glenview club, resulted two up for
the young Chicago golfer. Starting out
unsteadily, James came into his true
form on the in-journey and not only over.
came a lead of two holes which Byers
had secured on the out-journey, but put
the Pittsburgeri two to the bad. James
play during the latter part of the contest
was almost perfect golf, as his. medal
score of 80, three strokes under bogey,
shows. He showed marked superiority
in his short approaches and his work on
the green's, winning several holes by bet
ter than par work with his irons Byers
was rather unsteady on the greens. He
missed several puts that he should have
negotiated, and also badly topped one of
his drives. This was due, however, to
his foot slipping on the soft tee. Part OF
the game was played in a hard rain
storm, that quickly filled the. course with
miniature lakes, and even gathered on
the green's, both players using lofsing
irons several times where a putter was
the conventional club.
Several hundred golf enthusiasts waded
over the course, behind the players, ana
this afternoon, when the second round be-
gan, large gallery was present.
The medal score for the morning play
was as follows:
