THEY PLEADED GUILTY
WHY GAMBLERS DIDN'T FIGHT
There Was Probability That a
Plain Clothes Man Would
..r Be Involved.

Two employees Of the "Syndicate," the
local gambling trust, appeared in the NUM-
cipal court yesterday and pleaded guilty
to charge of gambling. The circum-
stances leading up to that plea are some
what peculiar, and involve one OF the
''plain clothes policemen in way that
reflects sadly upon the character OF the
department.
Some time ago a man named Knowles
went to the police court and swore out
warrant against the Syndicate's en-
ployes. The men then came into court
and formally entered pleas of mot gull
ty''. The case was set for trial, and Pres
ecuting Attorney Waite began the work
of looking up evidence. He secured the
present in No. 1926 First, avenue S, the
night Knowles lost his money. and issued
subpoenas for them. ~"
Among the men subpoenaed was mem
Der of the city detective force and Charles
Sodini, formerly proprietor of the notorl-
Gus Columbia theater. In the course OF
his investigation Mr.. Waite was Informed
that the officer had not been present in
the gambling-house but that he had been
playing money belonging to Sodini and
this in spite of the fact that he was sworn
10 support the laws.
AS soon as the subpoena was served
on the detective he rushed to phone and
called up the city prosecutor. Just what
he said is immaterial, but in reply Mr.
Waite gave him to understand that he
would have to appear in court and tell
what he knew of the Syndicate's methods
Of conducting business. However, the
detective still had one resource left. He
hunted up the accused men and Informed
them that they would have to change
their pleas to guilty. explaining that he
could not afford to appear in the case.
Pleas of guilty were duly uttered,
the case never coming to trial.

Last night In ST. Paul preliminary or

by Miss Emma Lamphere, of Denver, ma ;:

spoke to 500 women in Federation hall.
e It is said that Miss Lamphere intends to
do a similar work in Minneapolis, but
members Of the Retail Salesmen's assoc

Miss Lamphere's visit. The local clerks
association is not affiliated with the ma

chief object is to bring the Minneapolis
organization into the fold, by persuation
if possible, by coercion if necessary
A meeting of the clerks Monday night
was addressed by Miss Lamphere, Coils

makers union,s and Phil Carlin; president
of the local Building Trades Council, The
last speaker threatened the clerks with
the withdrawal of the support of organ

of the local Trades and Labor Council
with the American Federation OF. Labor is

and to give place to a new organization
that would affiliate with the national as

BUTLER LIVED HERE
Young Man Who Has Just Made
Rich Strike in Klondike
HAS A BROTHER AT THE 'sU"
His Latest Strike Only One of Sew
eraI-One of the Big North
ern Miners.

"Dick" Butler, whose lucky strike in
the Klondike was announced in yester-
days Journal, is Minneapolis boy. He
has written to his parents, who reside at
1929 James avenue S, telling them OF MS
good fortune Butler discovered new
field last month, on a tributary or the
Pelly river, between that stream and the
Yukon He staked out discovery claim
about forty miles from Fort Selkirk,
which has proved to be the most VatuaD1e
yet located Other miners who have also
pre- ennpted claims in that vicinity say
that the dirt runs as high, sometimes, as
$500 a pan; and when it Is remembered
that a $40 pan is considered good, the
magnitude of Buffers discovery at once
becomes apparent
="Dick" Butler has been lucky; and yet
he has deserted his luck. With his
brother, John, now student in the medi-
cal college of the state university, he
went to Alaska soon after gold had been
discovered there. At that time the family
was living In little town in the south
ern part of the state. The two boys We're
among the first to arrive on the field
and they were successful beyond their
most sanguine expectations. They came
back with more money than they had
ever expected to own, and soon after re-
moved to Minneapolis. John began his
N-NS
foremost ambition had always been to
become doctor, and as soon as the OPP
portunity offered he set himself about
preparing for his profession.
Dick decided to stick to the gold fields
of the north He was fortunate, locating
many, good claims and in securing large
interests in others till now he is recog-
nized in Alaska and on the west coast as
one of the strong factors in northern
mining. He has spent part of each win
ter in Minneapolis since he has won sue
cess having left here the last time In
December The success which came to
him this time startled prospectors all over
the Alaskan country, and as soon as he
made his great discovery public miners
rushed into the new territory from every
direction. Up to March 1 over 200 claims
had been staked out, and all were paying
big profits. Since then the number has
been greatly increased.
The letter received by his parents was
written from Dawson, and in it young
Butler modestly told Of the great good
fortune that had come to him and what
he had won by untiring indust ry and for
titude. It is impossible to estimate, from
the meager statements in his letter, the
value Of his holdings, but a claim that
pays anything like $500 pan, and that,
apparently is good for many years to
come, certainly is worth no small sum.

PAVING DECIDED UPON
Some Bad Stretches of Street to he
Improved.


.The,second, fourth and third wards won the
first honors Of the year in the competition for
new paving. At meeting OF the paving COM
mittee of the council this morning 1t was
decided to recommend to the council to start
the paving work this spring at the earliest
possible moment. and to begin with the nine
blocks, located as follows: On University ave-
nue. Sc, from Seventh avenue to Tenth ave.
nue., sandstone; on Hennepin avenue, from
Tenth street&to Thirteenth street, brick: on
Twentieth avenue N, from the river to Wash
ington avenue. sandstone. The construction
Of the above nine blocks, with the Tenth
street paving ordered last fall, will leave
only about $4,000 in the revolving fund and
$4,000 in the permanent improvement fund
These amounts will pay the cost OF paving
about three blocks more, and II property own
ers want new paving bad enough to advance
the assessment against the abutting property
two or three additional blocks can be paved
The committee has every confidence, how
ever, that the supreme court will decide In
favor OF the legality Of the paving bond issue,
and in that event 1t will not be necessary for
any one to advance the cost of paving this
year. No more paving will be ordered until
the bond question Is settled.
Twentieth avenue N, between the river and
Washington avenue, IS sixty-four feet wide
1t is the paving committees idea that the
roadway should be- cut down to forty feet
and IT will SO recommend to the council.

NOBODY WANTS IT
Second Ward Residents Protest
Against Crematory Site.
IT REALLY MUST 60 ELSEWHERE
Those who Protest seem to Take
ORense Principally at
the Name.

Health Commissioners Hall thought until
to-day that the problem Of economical
disposition of garbage in Minneapolis was
as good as.:solved by the proposed re-
moval of the erematory to Hennepln
island. Now he knows better. He has
run up against the same stone wall of OPP
position that his predecessor did, The
fact that the new cfematory is operated
wholly without odor and has no offensive
or unsanitary features, and that these
facts have been amply demonstrated in
the year it has been in operation, appear
to cut no figure. No community, appar-
entity, will stand for it's presence in their
midst
1t is the second ward that is stirred up
this time. Residents over there forward
ed their protests Immediately when the
health commissioners project. was made
public, in most cases through their alder
men, and more are coming in every day.
Alderman Lane OF the second ward, also
a member of the water committee, has
already donned war paint and announced
that he will fight the proposition to a
finish. At the first move made by the
city in the direction of locating the
crematory on the proposed site on Hen
nepin Island, Injunction proceedings will
be begun, he declares. Alderman Chat
field, his colleague, Is not so certain Of
his course. He has Investigated the
operations Of the crematory and is sat
ished that 1t would constitute no nuisance
II located on Hennepin island. Indeed, SO
great Is his confidence in the Institution,
that he is almost willing to stand for it's
removal despite the protests Of his con-
st1tuents, believing that results will show
that their opposition Is not well founded.
A careful investigation of the operation
OF the crematory by the protestants, he is
satisfied, would remove their objections
to its location on the island.
The officials Of the water department
oppose the use of the East Side station
for crematory purposes. Even though
there Is room for two incinerators there
without disturbing the pumping machin-
cry, they insist that it is q bad move and
will tend still further to prejudice the
community against East Side water,
which. of necessity, may have to be used
in emergencies for several years yet.
The attitude Of the flour mill inter
ests will probably be hostile. Health
Commissioner Hall and Alderman Mer-
rill presented the matter to Manager H.
L. Little, of the Pillsbury Washburn
company to-day but got no final answer
from him.. He said he would consult Mr..
De La Barre, engineer Of the water power
company. Mr.. De La Barre has hitherto
been strongly opposed to the location of
a crematory on the island, and it is
thought will not change his attitude now.
The crematOry removal matter will
come I'D in the council tomorrow night
and presumably be referred to the water
committee and board of health for joint
consideration. -

airy conference in Wesley church, Rev. DR..
William Fielder presided. DR.. w. F. Old
ham of Chicago spoke on missionary prob
lens in Africa, China and India. He said
that the problem had already been well
settled in Japan; in Africa the real bat
tie would come when the rolling tide OF
Christianity had swept against Moham-
mechanism. In India during the past ten
years the Methodist church had seen
fourfold increase. If there were only
enough men to teach them 10000 men
and women are eager to become Chris

growing and gaining. %
Rev. W. T. Hobart told Of thrilling ex-
periences in foreign work.

A MISTAKE, FOELL SAYS
The Alderman Insists He Didn't
~ Catch Fish Illegally.

Jacob Foell, alderman from the first
ward, has run foul of the law in Anoka
county and deputy game warden from
that bailiwick is now camping on his
trail. He is charged with offending the
peace and dignity Of the state of Mime
sofa by catching crappies in Coon lake.
The sheriff of Anoka county has issued
warrant for his arrest to G. A. Stevens,
deputy game warden at Anoka.
Captain Tony Klare of Engine Com
pany No. q. and Joseph Clark, another
Minneapolitan, are in the same boat with
Alderman Foell, as are Andrew Fenzel
and Charles Peterson of Anoka county.
Stevens swears that the party were
found with the goods at Coon lake..
Alderman Foell admitted this afternoon
that he had been fishing yesterday at
Coon lake, but emphatically denied that
he had broken the law. -
"The' fact is he explained, that we
didn't have any luck. In the first place
We didn't catch any crappies, and in the
second place we didn't catch any fish at
all. We simply lost our bait every place
we struck. There's nothing in that game
warden story. There was no game war
den around there, anywhere. If any such
warrant has been secured for my arrest
why it's a case of mistaken Identity;
that's ALL z-. 81

O.... 200 :
This is what Colonel Fred W. Ames,
superintendent of police, said yesterday
when told that Watson's saloon-res-.
taurant was running again.
The resort was lately closed by the po-
lice after most disgraceful fight, fol-
lowed by shooting ARRAY among it's
patrons. '; ....t -s.a..s.-s.s,s-. /
Superintendent Ames is clearly dis
couraged and took no pains to-day to con-
ceal the fact. He declared that he was
powerless.
Following the fight at Watsons the
place was closed for the night and it was
expected that his license would be re-
voked. Watson had several conferences
with the mayor. Nothing came Of 1t all,
and now the place has reopened.
81 cannot do anything in the matter"
declared Colonel Ames this afternoon. eff
I were able I'd close it up at once. have
reported the matter to the mayor, but he
has done nothing"
'tIt is said that the cafe is running full
blast. with music and liquor" was re-
marked.
II know it Isl said the superintendent
with emphasis on the second word. 4 But
what can I do? I'll tell you, know what
kind of g. place it is, and if had the
power, as the mayor has, I'd revoke the
license for the saloon to-day"
"Why doesn't he?' was asked
Colonel Ames shrugged his shoulders
and walked into his private office.

COURT NEWS
4uestiOn as to County Boards Sc
cret Meeting. -

Question as to County Boards Sc
cret Meeting. =
It has been reported that the county
commissioners made the changes in the
sheriffs bill by which the judges Of the
district court were deprived of the au-
thortty to appoint their own bailiffs. The
objectionable clause Is said to have been
stricken out at the famous secret meet
Ing Of the board. This story may be
doubted, for the members of the Hennepin
delegation say that the clause was in
when they had it under consideration at
a delegation meeting at the capitol -
Assistant County Attorney C. L. Smith
says that he does not believe that the
original bill ever came to Minneapolis
and says that the one the county COM
missioners were considering was simply
a copy. It is his opinion that the line
relating to the appointment of court
room bailiffs was crossed out in St. Paul
But the question is asked who would
have any interest in cutting out this pro-
vision except those who would have had
the naming Of the deputies in case the
power was taken from the judges. Sheriff
Dreger Is said to have been wholly in
different whether the clause was in or not.

The First Baptist church of Duluth has

by extending him unanimous call to
become it's pastor again. On Tuesday
committee came down to lay the invita-

The call comes as a great surprise to
DR.. Dawley. Six years ago he left the
First church and came to the Central
church In this city, It has prospered
greatly under his ministrations.
The First church society is smaller, but
is about to erect new building and the
aid Of Dr.. DaWley is wanted at the i'm
ception Of the project. The renunera-
ton, to begin with, would be the same as
here, 1t Is understood and the work would
not be unattractive to tho Minneapolis
