TROUBLE FOR AMES
Grand Jury May Take Up New
Charges Against the For
mer Mayor.
Allegation Is Made That Money Was
Used to Get Two Variety
Theaters Closed.

The grand jury will meet again to-mor-
row morning, after short recess, and In
teresting developments are expected. Wit
nesses examined few days ago make 1t
certain that the jury has needed the sug-
gestion Of it's predecessor to continue the
work Of municipal investigation, and the
result Of its labors will prabably be made
known shortly.
Mayor A. A. Ames, now resident OF
West Baden, Ind, Is said to be in more
trouble and it is not unlikely that an In
dictment will be found against him for
accepting a bride in connection with his
action In closing two Minneapolis thea
terS'' some time ago.
When the mayor issued his order clos
ing the Park and Standard variety houses
the move occasioned great surprise.
Now it is charged that the 'theaters'
were closed at the instigation of a rival
who Is said to have paid not less than
$25O0 to get them out Of the way. The
Standard never reopened, although the
Park did. When the closing order went
into effect Al Schaffer proprietor of the
Third street place, stated openly that he
had been "jobbed,'' but declined to go into
particulars, as he said he was not in a
position to do so. He promised to "get
square" later, however and it may be
that he will be called to tell the jury what
he knows.

dent do? He has done all that he can
do. It is up to theagovernor of Pennsyl-'
vania. If the governor can't preserve or.
der, then it is for sthe president to In
tervene. This is one Of the most serious
propositions the American people has had
to consider. They will feel 1t more when
the cold weather begins.
- Eugene M. Stevens-Its a question what
can be done. 1t Is clearly case for fed
eral intervention, if this can be under the
law. In case there Is no. law covering the
point. and the presidents influence has
no effect In a matter that is SO vital to
the entire country, the condition ought,
to be remedied by legislation.
L. K. Thompson-First, J it is up to
Pennsylvania to afford the operators and
the men who wish to work; all the pro-
lection necessary for the peaceful con-
duct Of the business SECOND if Penn
sylvania IS unable to furnish necessary
protection, the president should unhesi-
tating use the power vested in him:
third, congress should pass laws requir-
ing the operators to protect the lives
and health of their men as far as possible
in their difficult and dangerous work,
and making arbitration compulsory be-
tween the parties directly involved, where
there is failure to reach a satisfactory
agreement otherwise. I believe in gov
eminent ownership and control o. the coal
mines.
H. q. Ladd-I am willing to- abide by
what the president will do. think he has
good Judgment. I favor government own
ership Of the mines. We never, hear Of
strikes in anything that the government
owns

That Solution of the Coal Strike
Seems to Be Popular in
Minneapolis.
Nearly Every Man Interviewed Pro-
posed Government Control as
the Best Way Out.

Interest in the coal strike is keen in
Minneapolis not only on account Of the
fuel shortage but as an economic prob
lem. Following the presidential confer
ence and the refusal Of the coal road Of
hcials to do anything, Indignation was in
tense on the streets of Minneapolis. One
prominent citizen stated that he would
give a sum toward a fund for the miners.
He believed President Roosevelt, and
through him each individual American
had been insulted. To avenge this he
would form a fund to enable the miners
to continue their fight.
Government ownership seems to be the
generally favored remedy for such condi-
tons as now exist. Here are some opin-
ions gathered at random to-day:
William c. Gregg-I have no sympathy
with either side. If we are ever going to
try government ownership of anything I
am in favor Of trying it right now, If
such a thing can be accomplished legally.
A. w. Hoppock-I think the strike will
be settled this week. The president did all
a man could do and he did it at the right
time. I think his action will hurry the
end although he was turned down by one
side. I think the government ought to
own the coal mines and I think too, that
will come eventually.

Young Louis Anderson, the Chimney
Climbing Jail Breaker, Is
Again in Custody.
He Says He'll Get Out Again, If
He Gets Half a
Chance.

Louis Anderson, the 1S-year-old boy
who was arrested last May by Detective
Norm King on a charge Of burglary, and
who later escaped from the central police
station by climbing up chimney. was
arrested to-day by Lieutenant Mealy.
Sergeant RIVERS and Patrolman Erickson
He will be tried on the charge Of rob bling

Anderson had the freedom Of the cell
room at the central station, and securing
a plank, climbed to a ventilating hole Is
inches square in the chimney. Through
this he climbed to safety. When he was
missed from the cell he had been gone
several hours and could not be found.
In speaking of his escape to-day, young
Anderson said:
when l first saw that hole in the
chimney, did not know what it was. l
made up my mind to investigate it, and
taking plank which was lying loose in
the cellroom, I climbed to the hole and
looked in. BY looking up could see the
top of the chimney, while below was a
dark black chasm. I thought I could
climb up that hole and so I started.

small and the top was fully fifty feet
above where I started. 1 climbed up
slowly, for 1t was hard work, and after an
hours hard work, reached the top. My

feet below, and went to the fire escape.

$S76267 1905 200
This item of expenditure, was paid out of
ending July l, 1901.
I'm plain black and white, this statement
shows that the school board paid a deficit
amounting to $57,S68. So much for the
charge that we tried to conceal this item.
From the foregoing statement, it will
be seen that the school board estimates
that it ought to have $995,20O for new
schools and maintenance. These esti-
mates are based on figures submitted by
the superintendent of schools, the secre-
tary and other school officials. Every
item is there and is there both as to the
actual expenditures for the last school
year and the request for the next From
the state board apportionment, the 1-mill
state tax and other sources it is estimated
that the board will derive a revenue Of
$24s, 900, which leaves s747,200 to be raised
by taxation.
"A levy of mills, which the school
board asked for, would yield basis of
an assessed valuation of s121,5O0,O00 the
sum of $4,000 AS representative of
the school, board, L insisted on this amount
but the board Of tax levy saw fit not to
grant it. The board set itself against the
proposal to increase the teachers salaries
and against other estimates and was will
ing to allow a levy of only 5.5 mills. This
will give a revenue of $66S, $50 from taxes
other sources. We will, of course, run
the schools with the means at our disposal
in the best way we can and are free to
admit that with all funds allowed us we
can do something towards building new
school houses. A raise in the salaries of
the teachers is, Of course, impossible.
DO these figures show that the school
board asked for three or four times as
much money as it needed? Why should
we ask for anything that we did not think
was needed? The insinuation is plain
but in justice to the taxpayers Of the city
the Tribune should be more explicit.
"The remainder Of the editorial Is de.

school bond proposition. The school board
