While the family may be supplied

LIBEL CASES DISMISSED
Lind's Attorney Moves for Dismissal
of Cases Against Chas. John

In the municipal court this morning the
case of the state against Charles W.
Johnson for criminal libel upon John
Lind, in the recent campaign, based on
the publication in the Times of a. trans
5lation Of an appeal to Swedish voters in
Mr.. L1nd's interest, was called.
A conference between the opposing at
torneys had been held at which it was
offered on the part Of Lind that the case
should be dismissed, provided Colonel
Johnson would sign a statement that he
did not believe that Lind had any con-
nection or knowledge Of the existence or
circulation of the pamphlet. This the de-
PENDANT refused to do. It was then sug-
gested that the case be dismissed on con-
dition that Colonel Johnson release Mr..
Lind from any damages which he might
claim arising out Of the trial. This was
also refused.
When the case was reached on the call
endar this. morning, however, the de-
PENDANTS attorney announced thatSShe
was ready for trial. whereupon Mr.: Lind's
attorney. moved to dismiss the case and
followed this motion with another to dis

fair, (Which, by the way is state afrair)
to be abandoned now. because of the de-
c1sion OF this commission? It seems to
me that the opinion of the people of the
state at large Is worthy of some considera-
ton in this case, before the proposition to
have the statue placed In Minnehaha park
is rejected. Should the statue be left
where 1t is. 1t will only be a matter of q
few years. perhaps, when nothing will be
left of it.
AS to the remarks Of the critic in your
issue Of the. oath, when he says that the
faces are not typically Indian, but rather
European. would say that any man that
has given the two a fair study will find
more of the Indian than the European. In
regard to the remark that the Inscription,
"over wide and rushing rivers. etc." and
the whole theme Of Hiawatha carrying
Mfnnehaha In his arms has become in
congruous, "as the stream can easily be
waded at any time with much less effort"
suffice 1t to say that at the time Longfel-
low wrote his poem, it might not have
been SO easy to wade as at present. and as
his poem was based on conditions as they
were then, and was not made to suit the
present stage Of low water that argument
falls fiat. In the hope, on the part of the
school children Of the state. and the Ia
dies who have performed the hard work,
that the commission may alter their de-
cision, am yours truly, j. NJ. H.

critics. This, taken with statements made
by Mr.. Hill In St. Paul on the stand in
the merger hearing two weeks ago in
regard to the use of the Burlington in
hauling coal north and ore south, is be-
heved. to reveal a great scheme. At least
so the Wall Street Journal is informed.
A big company has been organized tc
establish at st. Louis a large steel and
iron industry. Mesaba and Iron Noun
tain grades will be used. The hearing
disclosed that Mr.. Hill had acquired about
10000 acres Of Illinois coal lands tribu-
tary to the. Burlington road. It is under
stood that this coal will be used to make
coke for the st. Louis plant and to load
empties back to the ore mines. This will
mean cheaper coal for Minnesota. It is
estimated that the Great Northern con-
trolls not less than $4,000 acres Of land on
the Mesaba range.

TUESDAY EVENING,
MCGEE QUITS BENCH
He Has Sent His Resignation as Dis.
trict Judge to Governor
Van SAINT.
Willard r. Cray Is Immediately Ap'
pointed to Fill the Vacancy
~ g. Thus Created.

| Judge John F., MCGEE! of the, district
bench yesterday sent his resignation to
Governor Van SAINT, with the request that
1t take effect as soon as possible. :. He will
retire this week, provided his successor,
Willard r. Cray, Is able to assume his
duties, " ~ .~ 49,. :. -
Judge MCGEE has entered into PARTNER
ship with Judge w. A. Lancaster, form
erly of the district bench, and will de-
vote himself TO the practice of law.
Judge MCGEE was appointed to the dis
| trict bench by Governor Clough Oct. 20,
1897, succeeding the late Judge Robert D.
Russell. He was elected in 1898 and has
thus served continuously for five years.
The reason given by Judge MCGEE for
this unexpected step is the insufficiency
Of the salary. He says that the increased
cost of living has practically reduced the
salary Of the office from One-third to one
half and that it Is wholly inadequate.
The resignation was sent to the govern
or yesterday, but the first intimation any
one had was when Judge MCGEE an
nounced in his court room this morning
that he had rendered his resignation to
the governor and that the criminal cal
endar had been transferred to Judge
Brooks.
When seen this afternoon Mr.. Cray had
not yet received official notice of his APP
pointment, although he admitted that he

to him.
Judge Cray's appointment was urged
upon the governor by a number or Min
neapolis attorneys who went to ST. Paul
yesterday afternoon in his behalf. They
had heard, they said, Of Judge McGee's
resignation, and they told the governor
that he could appoint no one more ac-
ceptable to the Minneapolis bar generally
than Mr.. Cray. The governor listened
and the appointment was made.
Judge Cray is a native Of Vermont, and
graduate Of Middlebury college. The
year after his graduation he came to Min
neapolis and entered the law office Of
Shaw & Levi. Two years later he be-
came the late Judge J. NJ Shaw's part
ner, and that partnership continued until
Judge Shaw's DEATH the firm, at the last,
being Shaw, Cray, Lancaster & Parker.
Upon the death of Judge Shaw and the
retirement Of Judges Russell and Jami-
son from the bench, new firm was
formed under the caption Of Russell,
Cray & Jamison. This continued until
Judge Russell died and Judge Iamtson
went to st. Paul to become private Sec
rotary to Governor Van SAINT Then Mr..
Cray took John E. Shaw, son Of the
late judge, into partnership, the firm
name being Cray & Shaw.
It Is understood that Judge MCGEE is
DESTROYS of retiring at once, and conse-
quently Judge Cray may take his seat to-
morrow. At any rate the change will be
made within a very few days.

BROKEN ELECTION LAWS
Grand Jury Looking Into Com
plants of the Use of Liquor
in Electioneering.

Trouble is in store for certain politi-
clans who used beer and whisky as cam
paign arguments in violation of the law
The grand jury is looking into this mat
ter and indictments may be expected.
Section II of the general election law
reads in part:
No spirituous. malt or Intoxicating liquor shall
ne sold or given away on any general
lates any. provisions of this section shall be
fined not less than $1OO nor more than 5000 for
each offense. and in default thereof shall be
imprisoned In the county jail for period not ex.
ceeding six months.
The principal complaints come from the
third ward. Joseph L. Kiichli is said to
be particularly interested in these cases,
and he Is member Of the grand jury.
There have also been complaints from
the fourth ward, particularly in the down
town districts. 1t is believed also that
some evidence might be found in the first
and sixth and also in other wards, if in
quiry were made.
An investigation of the methods Of bust
ness at the city hospital is also said to
be one of the matters before the grand
jury.
