INDICTMENT IS 0. K.
Burglary Charge Against Edward
Golden Is Correctly Drawn,
THE SUPREME COURT so DECIDES
This Decision Handed Down To-
day In Al Bunch

H.
Among ten supreme court decisions
filed to-day was one settling a point in
the case of Edward Golden, indicted in
Hennepin county for burglary Golden
demurred on the ground that the indict-5
ment was defective in that it did not spe-
city the ownership of the premises in
yolved with sufficient eXactness. The
supreme court says:

An indictment for burglary in the third de-
gree alleging that the defendant broke and
entered the warehouse of Halvorson- Rich
ards company with intent to commit the
crime of larceny therein, sufficiently alleges
the ownership Of the building. 1t was not
necessary to allege that the company was a
corporation or a copartnership, nor that there
were then in the building any chattels which
could be the subject of larceny. Judgment
affirmed Start, }.

within it's cars when such duty is performed

second-Where a carrier of passengers by
steam permits it's cars to be .overcrowded
and requires its passengers to- ride on the
platforms, it cannot excuse itself for in

Fight for Continuation of Street
Railway'to to Smelling Is Taken
Up AEnin.

Every effort will be made by the Com
mercial club to secure the extension Of
the SMinnehaha street railway line to Fort
Smelling. When the club several months
ago, prepared blue prints and general in
formation regarding Smelling and the land
adjacent which could be. acquired in en-
larging the post. it took up with the
street railway company the plan for the
extension Of the Minnehaha line.
At that time the club could obtain no
assurance from the company that the line
would be built. Recognizing that the ex-
tension would greatly benefit local bust
ness men. the club has redoubled its eff
forts now that the plans for enlarging
Smelling have been finally indorsed.

RED MEN CONTRIBUTE
FOR MUSIC IN PUBLIC PARKS
CITY Offtcials Are Slow In Contribu-
ting to Fund Which Has
Been Started.

Chippewa Lodge Of Red Men, No. 10, is
the second fraternal order to contribute
to the fund for free music in the public
parks. The lodges contribution reached
the committee this morning, together
with the $25 voted by No. A, B. P. O. g..
The committee hopes that this is the
beginning Of a movement which will ex-
tend to every fraternal organization in
the city.
Total receipts to-day were somewhat
disappointing. People are not taking
the interest they should, although the
money is to be expended for the benefit
of the public generally. Only one city
official, so far, has contributed to the
fund.-
The subcommittee for Powderhorn park
has been named, as follows: Edgar S.
Mattson, Charles F. Gardner, Ward f.
Gray, Charles Kittelson and Nathaniel
Halverstolk.
The committee is keeping account Of all
contributions, and announces that each
park will get at least as much music
this summer as residents in the vicinity
have paid for.

Cable viii Be Laid to Honolulu
by Christmas Day if No Ac-
cidents Happen.

San Francisco, Dec. 20-The first link
Of the great ocean cable which is to
connect the United States with Hawaii
has been laid and the cable ship Silver
town is proceeding so rapidly with
the work of laying the cable that it
would not be at all surprising if
Christmas greetings from Governor
Dole of Hawaii to President Roosevelt
are sent over the cable from Honolulu
on Christmas day. AT noon today,
.O54 knots of cable had been reeled out
from the hold of the Silvertown to rest
on the bottom of old ocean, in 100 hours
since leaving San Francisco, and this
in spite of a storm which retarded the
work of laying the cable. If a slightly
better ratio is maintained during the
next five days. with no storms or acct
dents to interfere with the work, it is
reasonable to expect that communica-
ton with Honolulu will be had on
Christmas day.
The Associated Press representative
on board the SilvertoWn filed the fol-
lowing message from the vessel at noon
today:
Latitude 3OiS north; longitude 1898
west The total amount of cable paid
out up TO noon today. which includes
the first section. the laying of which
was completed last night at O'Clock,
was 1854 knots. The weather is fine"

The government of Venezuela having

the ports Of Porto CabeliO and Mara

ton, but it is puzzled by the wording
and, moreover, cannot understand why,
if Germany and Great Britain have ac-
cepted the. arbitration proposal. the
blockade should have been effective the
same day that their announcement is
made.
The French charge d'affaires, NJ.

the Venezuelan government a request
that in the event of settlement of the
claims of other powers being made
France be accorded equal treatment.

Ten Persons Killed and Twenty Injured in Collision at
Byron-Engineer Paid no Attention to
the FIagman.

DYRON, Cal, Dec. 20.-Ten persons
Il were killed and twenty-seven in
jured in a collision tonight be-
tween the southbound Los Angeles Owl
train and the Stockton flyer. It was a
rear-end collision, the engine of the
local blowing its way through the last
coach on the owl, which was filed with
Fresno people. The passengers who eS-
capped instant death were hurled to the
fore part of the coach, crushed in be-
tween the mass of debris, their suffer-
ings and danger intensified a hundred
fold by the clouds of scalding steam
that poured out on them from the shat
tered boiler of the Stockton engine.
Flagman Sent Back
The owl left the Oakland mole
about O'Clock, and on the way to this
point it was noted that there was a
leak in the fiue of the engine. This in
creased to such an extent that it was
deemed advisable to stop here to take
up a freight engine for relief. The
train officials know that No. "a, the
Stockton local, was following a half
hour behind, and a fiagman was sent
back down the track to give warning
of the presence of the owl It is said
that the Stockton train, in charge of
Engineer Mcguire and Fireman Joyce,
got the warning signal in due time and
gave the usual response with whistle
blasts. Why the incoming train was
not checked, however. has not been
thus far explained, the men who could
give the facts being numbered among
the badly injured.
With Awful Crash.
On came the train with apparently
scarcely any diminution of speed. and
the Frescno coach was completely
telescoped. So forcibIy did the local
meet the rear of the Owl that the end
OF the second car, the dining car, was
smashed in and all of the three cooks
were seriously hurt. 1t seems miracu-
lous that the horror of fire was not
added to the direful disaster, but the

ly providential intervention spared

extinguished when the crash came.
Penned in Wreckage.
Relief quickly came to the passen-
gers who were penned in the wreckage,
axes and saws being brought into play
and passengers and train crew lending
eager aid. Messages were sent TO By
ron Hot Springs, a short distance away,
and DR.. Bird of the Springs, with DR..

guest, came quickly to the station A

first aid was at once given to the man

We're lying near the track. Every ef-
fort was made to alleviate their SUI
ferings. and those who were unable to
proceed on the journey were taken
either to the Springs hotel or the
church in Byron, which was temporar-
lily transformed into a hospital.
None of the passengers of No. 81 was
injured and all of the crew of the Owl
escaped unhurt.
Only One identified.
Of the ten killed it was possible to
identify but one person. The others
were not known TO their fellow pas
sengers, and up to a late hour nothing
was found on their persons TO furnish
a clue to their names or residence.
The one among the killed who was
identified was named Clarence Oluff.
He lived at Fresno.
The other dead are as follows:
One woman, about 35 years old.
