AMES REINSqATES KING
The Detective Makes IL Appear That
He Was Defending the May
or'& Honor.

Norm w. King has been reinstate on
the detective force. Saturday Mayor
Ames heard of Kings conduct at DO
lice Headquarters on Friday evening ard
Immediately. reprimanded and suspended
him. The MAJOR has now revoked the
suspension order, with no explanation
save that further investigation showed
that King was not at fault.
About the city hall to-day there was
current an explanation for the leniency
shown King. The mayor, it is said, was
deeply touched by Kings fidelity and was
story is that when Billy Edwards, the
"big-mit man." was arrested recently by
Detectives Hicks and Smith, King made
because he belonged to the Order of
Eagles. Hicks is said to have retorted
with some heat that he didn't care if Ed
wards was an Eagle, he was a thief and
a criminal and would be treated as such.
Furthermore, it is reDorted, Hicks said
something that was not very compliment
cry TO the secret order, 'if this fellow is
q sample, y as he expressed it.
King, during his celebration Of Friday
night, shrewdly reasoned thus: The re-
Election was upon the Order Of Eagles, the
mayor is an Eagle, therefore the refec-
ton was upon the mayor. Thereupon
Mr.. King said things to Mr.. Hicks. ..
Hearing the complete story Of King $
fidelity, the mayor, it is said, forth
with revoked his order and returned King
to his position on the force. King,
however, did not report to headquarters
to-day, either in person or by phone.

ASSESSORS COMING
Heralded by the Preparations at MIR.
Forts Office.
GETTING READY FOR CAMPAIGN
Both Personal and Real Property
to BE Assessed This
- Year.

City Assessor Fort is planning his cam
paign for this year. Both real estate and
personal property will be assessed and in
both lines Mr.. Fort plans for thorough
work, more thorough, perhaps, than ever
before. He will submit a list of about
tWenty-four personal property assessors
to the city council at its next meeting.
In nearly every instance the men have
had experience. ,5
Mr.. Fort will look after real estate
assessments almost wholly himself. He
has been watching the transfer lists pref
ty closely and expects to find ample JUS
tihcatien for substantial advances r, IN
values in several sections. The Linden
Hills district at Lake Harriet Is one OF
these. Values have almost doubled In
many cases there since the assessment
of two years ago. The Lake of the Isles
addition is another in which an increase
in valuation is probable, also the district
on the east side of Lake Calhoun. There
are other sections, On the other hand
that have shown no advance in values
property In these locations has long been
carrying an assessment nearly if not
quite, up to Its full selling value, and in
many cases Mr.. Fort hopes to lessen the
burden in these sections through an
equalization Of values and still leave the
total no less than the present assessment
1t Is too early, he says, to make any es-
innate as to results. Presumably there
will be slight increase in the total on
both the real estate and personal property
assessments. 80.

BILL RAISERS SENTENCED
THEY WILL GO TO STATE PRISON
Welch Gets Two Years and Bressau
Four-$1OO Fine Added
in Each Case.

Judge Lochren, In federal court this
morning, sentenced Thomas F. WEIGH to
pay a fine of 500 and to spend two years
in the state prison. He sentenced George
Bressau to pay fine Of 500 and to four
years Imprisonment. ~
The prisoners were implicated in the
raising and passing Of bills. WEIGH. who
turned states evidence, was given light
sentence. The government would have
had hard time convicting Bressau with
out the evidence of WEIGH, although Bres-
sau covered his tracks so well that WEIGH
himself had never seen the half breed at
work.
Judge Corrigan made a plea for Glenn
ency for both. They pleaded not guilty
on arraignment, but changed their pleas
at the time for trial. They have served
time before. -
The judge said they had had enough ex-
perience to teach them the danger and the
nature of their crime against society.
There was no excuse for the crime, which
Is one of elaboration.
The Matthews Case.
The Matthews case was set for this
morning, but owing to the illness Of Free
man P. Lane and the fact that J. P.
Nantz had been called to the bedside OF
his dying brother at Mason City, addt-
tional time was asked. The judge could
give only unit 2 o'clock, as the case is at
the foot of the canendar and the panel
can be held no longer.

ned TOCOOL OFF DULUTHl
Minneapolis Dealers May Ship Ice
There This Season.
NO LOCAL FAMINE EXPECTED
Stocks Are Short, but Supplies Are
Being Sent From OUT
side Lakes.

Although shortage in the season
supply Of ice already exists in this city,
Minneapolis may be called on to help Du-
luth out this summer. BY carefully hus-
banding their resources, the Minneapolis
icemen say that they Will be- able to keep
consumers supplied without danger or
forcing a famine during the dog days.
The ice crop has been a poor one all over
the country. II.
"a much more serious condition exists
In Duluth. said David M. Chute OF the
Cedar Lake Ice company you'd think
they'd be able to get all the ice they
want up there, with Lake Superior Tor
their front yard, but with navigation
about to open, the ice companies have
succeeded in laying in a very scanty sup
ply. They have been forced to go several
miles from shore this season to get good
ice, and several causes have combined to
handicap ice-cutting operations. Mime
apolis dealers have received feelers al
ready from the head Of the lakes as to
any surplus Of ice in this market and the
chances Of securing help in case of all
emergency. The Minneapolis situation
will be relieved before the season opens
by shipments Of ice into town from lakes
in this vicinity. While there is big
shortage now, l believe that most of the
companies will succeed in being we'll
stocked before warm weather arrives.
The Duluth demand, which will impose
double tax on our resources, must be
met, and that will force an inevitable
curtailment on the local supply.
1.-THE kind of weather we will have this
summer will largely determine the stay
ing qualities Of our ice. If it is to be
an exceptionally hot summer, we will
have to figure close to the wind to make
the ice go around and prevent suffering
for want Of it, should long period Of
deadly heat intervene.
There is no disposition to take ad-
vantage Of consumers and boost prices on
account of the shortage"

Rawlins Post Will Ask Him to
Visit Minneapolis.
HE MAY COME IN EARLY SUMNER
The Plan Is to Ask Him to Make
a Public Address ,-....$
. Here ~

Minister WI Ting Fang, the clever
Chinese minister, will be formally in
vited to visit Minneapolis this summer by
Judge Ell Torrance, commander in chief
OF the Grand Army, and John A. Rawlins
post, G. A. R., at the post meeting to-
morrow evening. -, s--.>'s. 49,
While the idea originated with the
members of Rawlins post and Minister WI
would be the special guest Of that or
ganization, the Intention is to have the
city and state join in doing honor to the
statesman whose views on international
affairs are now attracting such world
wide attention. Primarily the minister
is to come to Minneapolis at the express
invitation of Rawlins post and the COM
mander-in-c hief with the idea of deliv-
ering a public address on the great ques-
lions of the day. Incidentally, it has been
proposed that Minneapolis and St. Paul,
through the Commercial clubs, and the
state, through Governor Van SAINT, should
join in giving the minister a hearty well
come r=fs ......las -.-m.s
Judge Torrance is satisfied from a re-
cent interview with Minister WI, In which
the subject was preached, that he will
be glad to accept the invitation to visit
the metropolis and the greatest state 'oi
the northwest. He expressed lively in
terest in Minnesota and the whole north
west because Of the important part this
section is playing In the rapidly develop
ing trade with the orient He inquired
particularly about the resources of the
state and the business interests Of Min
neapolis. ~.
Just what will be the subject of his ad-
dress remains to be settled. Judging from
his recent utterances on the relations ex-
listing between this country and China
he would make an address that would
excite general attention. h .... -
Interest will attach to whatever he may
have to say on the question Of Chinese
exclusion. That he will come primed tt
talk along that line seems probable from
remark he made to- Judge Torrance.
"What'll I talk about?" he asked
"Politics?"
The exact date of the minister's visi
is yet to be decided. He will be allowed
to consult his own convenience as to that
but it seems likely that he will find II
agreeable to come early in the summer.

OUR CONSCIENCE FUND
1t Was Started With Dollar In the
Year 1911.
Ainslee's Magazine.


In the year 1911 an anonymous citizen
Of New York sent dollar to the treasury
department at Washington with an avowal
that he had defrauded the government
and wanted to make restoration. A dol
lar meant something to Uncle Sam in
those necessitous days when the country
verged on war with Great Britain, and it
was patriotic as we'll as penitent act.
The contributor was the founder of the
conscience fund, and probably he died in
the odor of sanctity.
During the preceding thirty-hve years
of the life of the republic no one had de-
spoiled the government, or the private
conscience was callous. This New York
man, indeed, seems to have been the one
blemish on a golden era of national vir-
tues, for fifty years were to elapse before
there was an addition to the fund.-
In 1861 just after Sumter was fired on
the sum of $4,000 in bonds was received
by the treasury department with a letter
explaining that a sorely tried conscience
could no longer endure it's burden Of
guilt. The plain inference was that the
sender, realizing the United States would
need mint of money to carry ON the
war, Judged it not to be time to defer
repentance. Think of the bounty jumpers
who proflted by his contribution!
It was really useful to the country in
another way. The conscience fund, which
had 1anguished for want of shining
example, now became active. It has been
quoted pretty steadily ever since. At
the present time 1T amounts to 5000, 00O
Indeed, restitution is getting to be the
fashion, and the time may come when no
one will take advantage Of the govern
ment or do so only with the laudable
design Of swelling the conscience fund
when any emergency confronts Uncle
Sam.

STOCK LOSSES
Moss of Billings Said to Have

Special to The Journal H.
Dickinson, N. D., March 1s-The three
days storm which abated last evening
was the worst known to stockmen in ten
years. Reports are meagre, but conser-
vative estimates place the loss at 80, per
cent more on sheep than cattle
The storm came up gradually on the
18th and people who had their sheep and
cattle in sheds with plenty of hay, are
undoubtedly all right, but the greatest
fear is for those who had recently made
temporary camps few miles out. Ex-
perienced stockmen are not looking fol
much loss in the hills. ts:gJ :.
! Banker Moss of Billings, who unloaded
1900 sheep on the prairie just west OF
Wibaux, is reported as having lost 8. OOC

STRAND ACQUITTED
Jury in Perjury Case Says He Il
Innocent.


Innocent,
The trial of Hans B. Strand on the
charge of perjury committed during the
second trial of his case against Griffith,
Buck & Campbell and Skinner, resulted In
acquittal. The jury returned late Satur
day afternoon. In his charge the judge
Instructed that If the jury found that
Strand had wilfully and knowingly testi
fed falsely to material points in the case,
he must be found guilty Of perjury as
charged but If it found that Strands con-
tention that he had forgotten certain ina
portant matters which would have affected
the nature Of his testimony, the jury must
decide TO what extent the defendant had
been cuapable.
The case has been tried three times.
The first jury disagreed, the second re-
turned verdict for the plaintiff, the third
for the defendants. Upon settlement of
the bill of exceptions 1t Is probable that
the case will be again appealed.
