HOSPITALS NEVER HAVE
ENOUGH FLOWERS AND DELEGATES
Many Opportunities for Giving Pleasure to the sick-Only Two
Flower Mission Societies and Few individuals Working
in This Field

the people of Minneapolis do not seem
especially interested in the hospitals, and
with the exception Of two organizations
or young girls, there are no clubs doing
flower mission work. This is not due to
lack OF need of such effort, for at most
or the hospitals there is pitiful dearth
or flowers. The few that come in are
more often from undertakers than from
any one else, although this fact is care

KISSEL NOT CONVICTED
WITNESSES In POLICE COURT COULD
NOT REMEMBER THINGS.
Other Gamblers Did Not Profit by
Alterations of Memory and Paid
Stiff Fines.

Despite the efforts of the prosecution to
convict William Kissel on the charge of
conducting a gambling house, the latter
was acquitted yesterday afternoon in Po-
lice Court. On the other hand, James Ross
and twelve other men were fined by acting
Judge Charles Averill. Ross was fined $40
and costs and the others We're fined So and
costs for visiting. The fines were stayed
by cash put up by man who refused to
allow his name to become public. 1t was
said by persons who appeared to know
that the money was furnished by Kissel
The case was one of much Importance
and the prosecutor was sure that all men
arrested would be convicted. The prose-
cutting witness was Henry Klugeman.
gambler, who swore out the warrants
against Kissel and Ross last Saturday aft
ernoon.
In the preliminary hearing Kissel and
the otae-s asked for change of venue
from Judge Stubs. They also asked for
jury trial When the case was called yes
terday Kissers attorney, Taylor Gronnin-
ger. waived the jury trial and said that his
client would stand on the evidence TO be
adduced by the state.
Klugeman was called to the stand and
asked by Prosecutor Holmes what knowl-
edge the witness had regarding kissel s
connection with the gambling house which
had been conducted at zimmerman road
house. On the stand Klugeman could not
remember if Kissel had ever been engaged
in gambling of any kind. He said he never
saw Kissel at the Zimmerman roadhouse
and did not know If he was in partnership
with James Ross in the game. Captain
Hyland was also called and said he did not
know of Kissel operating the game at Zim-
merman's roadhouse. The state rested its
case and IL was sent to Judge Averill. Kis-
sell was Immediately released.
BY prearrangement Ross and the other
men pleaded guilty and were fined. The
trial was one of the shortest ever held in
the courtroom. The exact amount of time
consumed was ten minutes. AT the conciu-
sion of the case the men hurried into City
Clerk Elliott's office, where a cash bond
was put up for the fines.
