RESPITE FOR COHEN
Joe Cohen Comes Up for Sentence
Which Is Deferred to
December 1.
This Move Probably Intended to In
sure His Services as a
Witness. 49,.

Joseph ("Reddy") Cohen will not know
his fate until Dec. 1. When he appeared
before Judge Elliott this morning to re-
ceive sentence for the crime to which he
pleaded guilty Monday he was informed
that he could return on Dec. l.
He was not at all surprised at the an
nouncement from the bench. lie bowed
his acknowledgment to Judge Elliott and
left the courtroom.
That action in the Cohen case has been
postponed does not surprise any one. The
explanation doubtless is that Cohen is
wanted before the grand jury. There Is
no reason to believe that the prisoner in
tends to conceal anything but If he should
be sentenced the state would have no hold
on him whatever, for all Of the other in
dictments against him have been nolled
He would be in position to do as he
pleas when summoned before the grand
jury.
Possibly also the severity of the punish
ment melted out to him will depend some
what on his conduct before the grand jury
1t is recognized as only just that even a
law breaker who assists the authorities to
bring other offenders to justice should be
treated with leniency when penalty Is
being fixed. It is believed that Cohen s
sentence may consequently correspond to
the value Of his testimony before, the
grand jury.
It is believed that the grand jury has
obta ined some valuable evidence against
the Ames corruptionists, including some
who have hitherto escaped Indictment
Captain Coffee John Fttchette, late Fri
vate Secretary Thomas r. Brown, Ernest
Wheelock, the confidential secretary OF
Colonel Fred w. Ames when the latter
was chief Of police, and other we'll known
people haye been before the grand jury
While Joseph Cohen may not be able to
supply a. great deal that Is new, his testi-
mony will supplement and strengthen that
of the persons mentioned.

MRS. DAVIS DEAD
Mother of the Late Senator G. K,
Davis Dies at Yankton, S. D.

A message received at st. Paul an
nounced the death yesterday, at Yankton.
S. D., Of Mrs. Horatio N. Davis, mother
Of the late Senator Cushman K. Davis.
Mrs Davis died of old age, being In" her
SSth year. She had been living at Yank-
ton with her daughter, Mrs. Trip, wife
of Judge Bartlett Trip, since the death

1900.
Mrs. Davis family, which was Of Puri-
tan extraction, gained prominence before
the war through her first cousin, Char
lotte Cushman, the actress. Mrs Davis
was born Clarissa F. .Cushman at Hender-
son, Jefferson county, New York. There
she married, In 1887, Horatio N. Davis,

SPECIAL DELIVERIES
System in Minneapolis Has Prac-
tically All of the Features
Recently Suggested.
Efforts to Improve It Will Be Made
Experiments to Be
Begun Soon.

"Well, I'm glad of it, commented Act
ing Postmaster Hale, after reading tel
egram from Washington to the effect that
Minneapolis and St. Paul would be two
| of the cities where experiments Would
soon be made towards improving the
special delivery" system. The telegram
explained that no vigorous effort had been
as yet attempted for lettering the sys-
tenn. It has not been generally conducted
| on a basis Of profit to the government or
convenience to the public.
Special delivery letters" continued
Major Hale, have been delivered here as
quickly as the system would permit. But
| l think the system should be improved
Neither the postmaster nor his assist
ants had previously heard of the intended
| improvements But Superintendent Of
Delivery M. D. Wanvig wondered whether
the changes as outlined would materially
| benefit the local service. "
Il see," said he, that Superintendent
Machen of the free delivery service at
Washington is reported to have proposed
| that the special delivery boys shall be
| properly uniformed; that regular routes
| shall be mapped out to insure prompt de-
liveries, and that boxes shall be located
In business centers, from which collections
shall be made hourly, and in some cases
every half hour through the day."
Now said Mr.. Wanvig. I'VE havo
practically all of those features in our
system here, except the regular routes
| mapped out. We have eighteen boys,
duly uniformed, to deliver letters and
| packages bearing the special delivery
stamp Some Of these boys get every
special delivery letter within ten or fifteen
minutes after it reaches the postoffice,
except in the case of the many special
| deliveries that come each morning in the
eastern mail. The letters in that mail
may be delayed half an hour to permit
of their being registered on the office
records and on the boys books. Colec-
tions are made of all letters, including
special delivery letters, every hour in the
day and sometimes oftener, from the
mail boxes In the business center.
| Even If we had regular routes for the
delivery boys, 1t would not help matters
much. The addresses to which special
| delivery letters are sent are too few and
too widely scattered. AS it Is, the boys
each receive one or more letters for the
same district and go there by the short
est route without needless delay. The
messengers often take their wheels, and
they are privileged to ride in any street
car on the same terms as letter car
rier.'
But if the system can't be improved
| that fact will be learned by Assistant
Superintendent Edens Of the free delivery
system, Washington, who is coming to
the twin cities in a few days to inspect
the service here F.;

POISON IN THE BEANS
Sickness Among Patrons of Short
horn Sale Believed to Have
Been Thus Caused.
Barn Man at Fair Grounds Nearly
Died as Result-Indications
of Ptomaine. ."

Albert Griky, barn man at the state
fair grounds, came near dying yesterday
from what appeared to. be ptomaine poi
soning, while thirty others attending the
ne-stock sale held there Tuesday We're
i'll from the same cause. DR.. Frank Bal
come, of st. Anthony Park, prescribed for
Griky, who is said to be out of danger
to-day. ..'- .. ~ o. -...
The physician is not able to say just
what was the cause Of the trouble. but the
symptoms seemed to indicate ptomaine
poisoning. That the man was poisoned
there Is no doubt, but what the poinson-
Gus matter was, DR.. Balcome was unable
to determine.
Secretary E. w. Randall, of the state
fair association, who also: suffered from
the poison, said that no doubt the poison
was contained in some article of food
prepared for the patrons Of the sale. They
were all affected in the same way and
must have secured the poison from the
same place. Mr.. Randall thinks that the
beans which were cooked in large quanti-
ties, were responsible. ?

HARD TO REACH BY LAW
Coroner Williams Condemns Starva.
ton Unscientifeally Applied, but
Can Probably Do Nothing.

Although Coroner Williams will lay the
case of Mrs. Gertrude Young before the
county attorney, it Is unlikely that the
law will be able to touch the healer VINO
advised the treatment that was followed
by DEATH Mrs. Young died as a result,
it is said, of the starvati ton cure pre-
scribed by Dr. Linda B. Perry, for dis
ease which, competent physicians say,
the woman did not have.
According to a friend of Mrs. Young's,
who was with her throughout the time she
was under Perrys care, she had nothing
to eat for thirty nine days. The fast
was to have been broken ton the fortieth
day, but on the thirty-ninth the patient
died. An autopsy held at the university
yesterday, showed that death was due to
exhaustion brought on by starvation.
Coroner Williams said this morning that
it was doubtful If any law had been vio-
lated by DR.. Perry, but that he intended
to lay the matter before the county at
torney.
DR.. Williams admits that fasting may
prove efficacious against certain diseases
but he says no regular practitioner would
ever dream of subjecting a patient to the
hardships imposed by DR.. Perry
II saw Mrs. Young only few weeks
ago." he said, land she was fat as butter
She had not entire control Of one leg and
arm, and dragged one foot slightly as she
walked. This resulted from a paralytiC
attack about two years, ago; but otherwise
she was in good health and might have
lived for years. She had no such trouble
as Mrs Perry insinuated. Mrs. Young was
an old patient il mine and consequently
an familiar with her physical condition
There seems to be no state law covering
such a case as this. There is a Law
! which will punish man who advises an.
other to commit suicide, and there is q
law providing that none but regularly II.
cersed physicians may practice medicine
In the state. The first, however, coul6
scarcely be construed to fit the case ir
hand, and the second would be difficult
of proof. ':;
Coroner Williams has not yet conferred
with Mr. Boardman regarding the matter
bat will do so shortly.
For her part DR.. Perry claims a RECORD
of sey enteen cures out of eighteen cases
every one Of which, she says, had frs
been given up by medical practitioners
She intimates that any investigation int
the Young case is really persecution
/ prompted by professional jealousy
