Municipal Art Commission Declares
Against Placing Fjelde''s Statue
in Minnehaha Park,
This Settles It, Unless the Commits
sion Can Be Induced to Re-
verse Its Verdict.

Too faulty in, point of technical con-
struction and too much lacking In all
around artistic finish to occupy q promI-
nent place In a public park
Being adjudged guilty Of these offenses
against true art the proposed statue Of
H1aWatha Is to be barred from Minnehaha
park. The recently created art commits
sion has thus taken advantage of the first
good opportunity to make itself felt as a
public censor of art in Minneapolis in no
uncertain fashion. That Is why the late
Jacob Fjelde's plaster study aof Hiawatha
and :Mfnnehaha5 is not to be perpetuated
IN more lasting material at the spot which
Etawatha haunted Of yore. '".'
The public affairs committee of the
Commercial club has been formally noti-
fed by the members Of the commission
that, while the statue Of Hiawatha may
look We'll enough in a niche at the public
library, It would be an offense against
good taste to place an enlarged edition Of
the same IN plain view Of thronging thou

are E. G. Gale, L. s. Burlington and AL

CAUSE OF CAR SHORTAGE:
Railroads Side of the Case-Equip-
ment Falls Behind Grow
ing Traffic.

The shortage Of the year has been
marked and among shippers there has
been much complaint. The railroads have
a good defense, as is set forth in part by
The Mississippi Valley Lumberman as fol-
lows:
ION the side Of the railroads a number Of
arguments can be cited. First, and prin-
cipal, the roads could not have foreseen
the necessity for the equipment that has
been demanded this year; and second
they could not have provided for it fully
If they had foreseen it. Business can in
crease over night, but railway equipment
cannot be evolved with the same rapidity.
Again, railway officials, and especially
those in subordinate positions, must make
good showing to the stockholders In
their efforts to accommodate the public
they must make every move count toward
the income of the road. With this In
view it would not be good business policy
to send empty cars hundreds of miles
that they might come back full.
IAN Illustration of how this works is
given in the recent report of the general
manager of the Northern Pacific railway,
relative to the efforts Of the road to han
die lumber and shingles from the west:
Lumber and single shipments from the
Pacific coast increased from 29,155 to
40, 800 car loads. There being no cor
responding increase in west bound traf-
fic, this resulted in an unavoidable in
crease Of empty car mileage, which last
year was $500 per cent, and this year
2735 per cent of the total car mileage.
Other things the company had to con-
tend with were the scarcity of labor, the
delay in receiving supplies, and materials
and the fact that 100 new locomotives
were months behind in delivery"
The Great Northern has had an exactly
similar experience.

STATUS0F "HOP" SMOKING
It Is Not Disorderly Conduct, Ac-
cording to Ruling by ::
Judge Holt.

Hitting the pipe does not constitute
disorderly conduct and house where
people resort to smoke opium does not
come under the ordinance classification OF
disorderly houses. according to a deci-
sion by Judge Andrew Holt in the munic-
1pal court this morning.
The decision was rendered in the case
against Lillian Henderson; charged with
keeping a disorderly house. The state
proved that the Henderson woman and
two colored women were in the room at
325 Fifth avenue S, Tuesday afternoon
when Superintendent Of Police e. F.
Waite and Detectives Oscar Hicks and
Charles Brown entered and found them
smoking opium.
The defense acknowledged the facts but
argued that Mrs. Henderson was not
keeping disorderly house when all that
was being done was to hit the pipe
Judge Holt ruled in their favor and the
case was dismissed.
While on the stand Mrs. Henderson
said:
why, I've smoked opium for twenty
years. My father and mother before me
were hop hends,' and I got the habit
when I was a little child. can't let Il
alone, no matter how much I try. I have

DIR, AMES MUST COME

Believe.
Lawyers Advise Them That There Is
No Other Way to Have Bonds
- Is: Z Reinstated.: ~@'@ -, -

There is belief among the persons in
terested in the affairs Of DR.. A. A. Ames
of West Baden Ind, that he will return
to Minneapolis within fortnight and that
If he'd oes not come voluntarily, he will
If he does not come. Two bonds of IS, 900
each have been filed with the district
court for the return of DR.. Ames, one
with Thomas Lowry and William BouteN
as sUret1es and the other with Fred SCh1e)i
and William H. Johnson as sureties.
Both bonds have been declared forfeited.
1t Is understood that the sureties have
been advised by their attorneys that their
only chance to have the bonds reinstated
Is to bring DR.. Ames back, If he should
not be willing to return of his own ao-
cord, and then surrender him to the court.
There has been some correspondence
between w. H. Johnson, superintendent
Of poor, and his erstwhile patron, DR..
Ames, regarding the probabilities Of the
latter's return to this city. 1t is reported
that Mr.. Johnsin has written to DR.. Ames
that he must come to Minneapolis when
wanted, or that Mr.. Johnson will go after
the doctor himself Mr.. Johnson will not
admit that he has sent an ultimatum to
West Baden, but admits having CORE
sponded with Dr. Ames. The doctor
writes that his health is improving, but
progress Is slow. And Mr.. Johnson also
admits that the bond on which he is a
surety has been forfeited, and that he
would not like to lose the money involved,
which is about $4,000 in his case.

NOW VANCETURNS UP
The Latest Clue to the Prospect Park
Murder Victims Identity,
Has Vanished.
Other ,Hold-ups in That Vicinity
May Cast Some Light Upon
the Crime. 49,. .-.

Thomas Vance was not the man muir
dered In Prospect Park. A letter received
by Mrs B. B. Morris. 1908 Hennepin ave.
nue., from sister residing at Hayward,
WIS. states that Thomas Vance Is alive
and we'll and is working on the Indian
reservation, eighteen miles from Hay
ward. He was seen In Hayward last
Tuesday by Frank Clark, Mrs. Morris
brother-in-la who is we'll acquainted
with Vance and conversed with him at
that time.
The finding of Thomas Vance alive
takes away the last clue the police have
to the mystery.
While it begins to appear that tho
Identity Of the victim will never be
learned, yet something Of the mystery
may be explained. The recent holdups in
the vicinity Of Prospect Park suggest
that the same thugs operating in that
vicinity are responsible for the death Of
the man found in Prospect Park. The
similarity of the work and the thorough
ness with which they loot the pockets
of their victim seem to point to that con-
clusion. 1t Is true these men have re-
Gently been knocking their victim down
by striking him with their fists, while
the man was evidently killed by a sand
bag. but this is explained by the fact
that the murder may not have been in
tended and the thugs have learned that
sand bags are too dangerous.
Peter Splits, a laboring man, was en-
ticed to leave the city Tuesday night
In company with some new found friends
picked up on First street. The gang
started for st. Paul but at Arthur avenue
Sc, they told Splits they knew of a
place near there where they could havo
a good time. The four got off the car
and started toward Prospect Park, They
walked only short distance when Splits
was knocked down and robbed of $58, a
silver watch and every article he had in
his pockets
John Grady had a similar experience in
the same neighborhood last night, losing
a small amount and an order for $40.
The police are making every effort to
locate the gang and If they succeed in
capturing them the men will be closely
questioned as to what they know con-
corning the Prospect Park murder.
