Few new developments took place today in
the bakers strike, and no change was noted
in the attitude of the ice wagon drivers, who
have announced their intention to refuse to

bakers. H.
The dee dealers are, severely provoked by
tne action of their men They rnaint ain that
in view. Of the big concessions made by the
ice companies this year, the men are making
a poor return in seeking to drag their en-
ployers into q controversy which does moi
concern them.
The dealers insist that they will not yield
an inch, and that if their drivers will moi
deliver to all their customers, they will hire
men who will carry out their employers in.

BLAME The DRIVER
Ice Barons Say Drivers Have Made
Unwarranted Statements.
HoUsEH0LDERs ARE PROTESTING
The Small Cakes Now Delivered
Melt Quickly and Drivers
Won't Sell More.

Consumers of ice who have protested
against the meager pound daily cake,
have been told by delivery men that it
was that or nothing. According to the
drivers, there was an agreement that Gus
toners who stopped service with one
company on account of the small cake
would not be served. by any Other COM
pany. The refuasl to sell from the wagon
for cash has also been consistently lived
up to by the drivers. Proprietors of the
companies say the drivers have taken this
stand on their own initiative, with the
idea of thereby Strengthening their union.
AS one of the drivers of the Cedar Lake
Ice company was known to have made
representations regarding an agreement
of companies not to take each others
patrons, an explanation was sought this
morning from D. NJ Chute president Of
that company. Mr.. Chute said:
It's up to the drivers union. At a meet
Ing last Saturday evening they passed a
resolution by which they agreed to expel
from the union any driver who sells from the
wagon hereafter. 1t has been a long stand
Ing agreement between the Ice companies
and drivers that they should not sell direct
from the wagon, but it has never been lived
up to before this year. The companies, OF
course, are glad to- see this agreement lived
up to, but we are not in sympathy with the
drivers taking such an arbitrary stand q:

union myself that thought it was mistake
to antagonize consumers in any such way
In a letter to me this morning he says thai
it is absolutely necessary to the life Of the
union that such an iron-c1ad agreement
should be lived up to in order to respect the
wishes of the companies:
Consumers understand we'll enough that al
they need do, if they wish to change iot

The AME;S .DEMURRE|l]|
The Arguments Upon It Taken Up
Before Judge Simpson.
SOME FINE POINTS ARE MADE
Vague-Ames' Acquaintance
With Crooks.

Colonel Fred w. Ames, f1anked by his
attorneys: Victor J. WEIGH and Frank
Hubacheck, appeared before Judge. simp-
son this morning armed for an attack on
the indictment against the chief OF police
for receiving a bride. The demurrer in
terposed a week ago was argued For an
hour, and as Judge Simpson was then
compelled to proceed with the Landseth
continued until Tomorrow morning at 8
o'clock. . $50.
Assistant County Attorney, AL J..
Smith, who drew the indictment, could
not be present, as he had much to pre-
pare for in the Gardner trial. but the in.
terests of the state were looked after
BY Writ Wilson. Of the County Attor-
Mr.. WEIGH had great number of things
to demur to, but hts principal points may
be roughly. stated as follows: .
First, it is not the duty Of police officer
Of the city Of Minneapolis under the charter
Of the city and the statues, to make an arrest
on such state Of facts as, are alleged in the
Indictment No warrant had been issued
against any of the four alleged confidence
men nor had any complaint been made by
the man alleged to have been ,swindled
(Roman Mex. r.
Secondly, it is not alleged that the men,
EdWardS, HOWARD, Henderson and CrOsSmap
We're within the jurisdiction Of the police Off
GERS after the swindle had Secured. Fl
Third, it being assumed that the indictment
was drawn in accordance with section 6349,
the defense contends that this section Goes
not apply to a police officer, but there are or
dinances Of the city ana sections of the penal
code which make it a lnisdemeanor for an
officer to compound felony and also to per
init an escape
The object In making, latter conten-
ton is to show that the indictment
charges felony when as matter of fact,
| under the state of facts alleged, only a
misdemeanor should be charged. 49,.
Mr.. Welch was extremely technical and
some of the flaws he picked out were very
minute. He objected. in one place to the
absence of the word "corruptly'' although
| "unlaWfully wrongfully feloniously were
| used the same connection. He in
sisted that the term draft had
no technical nor legal Significance and
| was but q generic: term. It was not
| money and there was a question If it was
property of some description. - =
| Nowhere in the Indictment, argued Mr.
Welch, was it alleged that Superintendent
Ames had violated any, Of the duties i'm
posed upon him legally or morally. '
The fact, II such it. was, that he knew
that Edwards, Howard, Henderson and
| Crossman were confidence men did not
impose any duty upon him any more than
| did the knowledge that certain. other men
were gamblers and were carrying on 8
