DIR. AMES' TRIAL

Discredited Mayor Will Be Brought
Back to Minneapolis EARLY i
Next Month. -.

Expenses. p

Mayor A. A. Anes will be brought back
to Minneapolis and compelled to stand
trial early next month. ss@ss
At the same time former Police Captain
Charles R. Hill, who is now in Wisconsin,
and who has been indicted by the grand
jury, will be asked to accompany deputy
back to his former home.
Neither of these men will be disturbed
until after elSstion. but County Attorney
Boardman is desirous Of trying the cases
against them early in the November term
He feels confident that the mayor is now
well enough to stand the moderate fa-
tigue of trip from West Baden without
serious physical detriment; and unless the
doctors condition takes a change for the
worse, the program outlined here will be
followed - -E.f
The report has been circulated indus
trously that Mr.. Boardman did not dare
to bring the mayor back before election
for fear Of antagonizing his friends and
thus losing votes; but there We're several
cogent reasons why such a move would
have been unWise. ..-. < d. |i' -
To begin with the criminal calendar
was badly congested and the mayor could
not have been tried until the November
term OF court even if he had been in the
city. Then, he has really been avery
sick man, although he is now much better!
What is more, the sheriff has had no
money with which to pay the expenses Of
such trip. - :
The law placing the sheriff's office on a
salary basis which was passed at a special
term of the legislature, last spring, makes
no provision for such cases; and the
sheriff is in a quandary to know how to
recover money expended in sending his
deputies outside the state n. !
Mrs. A. A. Ames. wife Of the mayor, was
in Minneapolis Saturday and called upon
County Attorney F. Il. Boardman, who she
fnNcr 1er1of
her husband. She said DR. Anes was not
at all fit to make the trip now and would
not for for some time. She is understood
to have returned to West Baden. -. -

How Thief Used a Telephone and
Another Mans Name. -.

Charles Fisher, who resides with his
mother at Fourth and Bryant avenues N,
was arrested last night by Detectives
Vaughn and German. He is charged with
obtaining goods under false Pretenses.
When arrested he was in the act Of re-
ceiving two overcoats from messenger
of the Plymouth Clothing House who was
delivering the coats at the residence Of
Theodore Hays in Prospect Park. 1t is
said he received two coats in g. similar
way about week ago. -,
Fisher worked a new game. He called
up the Plymouth over the phone and told
the manager that he was Mr.. Hays and
that he wanted two coats delivered at
his residence for inspection. The coats
were sent by messenger and when the
hoy arrived Fisher stepped up and in
formed him that he was a member Of the
family and would take the coats in. Later
It was learned that Mr.. Hays had not
ordered the coats, and watch was set

CUBA is MOT SATISFIED
Draft of Reciprocity Treaty Re-
turned by President Palma
Without Approval.

Washington. Oct. 2S.-The fact record
ed In the news dispatches from Havana
that President Palma has returned to
Washington the draft of the reciprocity
treaty without his approval has not shak-
en- the belief of the officials here that they
will have a treaty ready to submit to
congress by the date of it's next meet
ing AS soon as Mr. Quesada. the Cuban
minister here, receives the document he
will submit it to Secretary Hay. The
latter already has knowledge Of the gen.
eral nature of the objections found by the
Cuban government. Then negotiations
will be continued on the basis of the
original draft. For it Is explicitly stated
that the proposition submitted by the
state department was in no sense an ul-
timatum and the matter is still open to
adjustment. Generally stated, the Cuban
objections are based on belief that the
United States has demanded undue con-
cessons in the remisSiOns of duties on
United States products entering Cuba,
ranging all the way from 10 per cent to
80 per cent. in return for 20 per cent
cut on Cuban sugar and tobacco coming
into the United States. AS the difficulty
is one strictly Of figures and not of prin-
ciple, it Is the opinion Of the state de-
partment that it can be settled amicably.
If not and the Cuban government in
sists terms that the state department
cannot grant the two countries will sim
ply drift along without trade treaty Of
this kind. AS Cuba will undoubtedly be
the principal sufferer it is expected here
that she will be the first to make another
advance toward a treaty.
There has been an important change in
the program respecting the whole fabric
of Cuban treaties. tt had been original
ly intended to perfect reciprocity trea-
ty before undertaking to deal with other
relations that must be defined by treaty
AS it is now seen that the subject of reci-
procity Is one that will require consider
able time for it's disposition" the govern
ment here is about to undertake nego-
tiations looking to the arrangement of an
extradition treaty which IS very much
become sinkhoe for American criminals
The Cuban government will be at once
invited to open negotiations on coaling
stations 1t is not expected that this can
be done without some friction. because
there has been a growing disinclination on
the part of the Cubans to surrender these
sites to the United States. Proper sites
for coaling stations were selected tenta-
lively several months ago by Admiral
Braford. chief Of the equipment bureau,
who is directly in charge of naval coaiing
stations but Of the four points selected.
one, Havana harbor, has been abandoned
from regard for Cuban sensiloility. It is
not likely that further sacrifices of that
kind will be made. and the other three
points. namely, Nipe. on the north coast,
and Cienfuegos and Guantanamo on the
south coast Of the island ill be chosen as
permanent locations. :..> '...-

THE MOLINEUX SCRIPT
Handwriting Experts Take Look
at It and Testify
To-day.

New York, :; Oct. 2S.-Herbert L.
Twitchell an assistant teller at the Chase
National bank, testified as an expert in
handwriting to-day in the trial of Roland
B. Molineaux: Replying to questions by
Assistant District Attorney Osborne, Mr..
Twitchell said he had carefully examined
all the handwriting exhibits In the case,
the conceded and -disputed> writings. in
Guiding the poison package address, and
he believed that all were written by the
same hand, Mr.. Twitchell said on cross
examinatio ton that he had rejected sigma
lures at his bank and later they had been
proved genuine. .'.'.
L. A. Russell, music teacher of New
ark was the next witness. He was called
at the last trial to prove. that Molineux
and Archibald Arnold, the head salesman
at Hartdegen's store in Newark, were
warm friends and were schoolmateS with
him. Mr.. Russell said to-day that he and
the defendant had always been friends. He
said the direct road from his studio where
Molineux often called, to the railroad sta
tion, passed Hartdegen's store. The de-
Tense had no questions. -"
Edwin B. Hay, handwriting expert Of
Washington, agreed with the other ex-
perts who have been called, and said he
had no doubt that all the writings IN the
case, disputed and admitted were Ahade
by the same hand. Mr.. Hay said the
word 'RcnIl6lnc1l III lIlS' ,ulILcI SIlI lSlISLS =
to patent medicine firms and in the "re-
quest writings showed the same "g' and
a patching of letters "marve1lous' in their
similarity. 49,
Ex-Governor Black read from the evil
dence Mr.. Hay gave at the last trial that
it was possible for experts to argue from
the same premises and establish different
conclusions. In that evidence the witness
said the expert would not mention the
signs that ;contradicted. the conclusions
they were expected to maintain.
Did you say that then?' he was asked:
Eyes. and say 1t now" replied the wit
ness with promptness and composure. =.
The jury Joined In the laughter the at
titude Of the witness provoked. ".

writings before he reached the conclusion
that, the poison package address was writ
ten by Molineux. The loop Of the e. In
the word city was the first Characters
tic that forced the. conclusion upon him.

pose obstacles in the way Of young people
being educated to the skilled trades, limit,
ing the number Of apprentices to pro-
portion smaller than the interest Of the
employer dictates. This is contrary to a fun
damental principle Of American life and
Of American education that is, freedom
of access to means Of employment. .,..
Another feature of the trade union
principles is the limitation of the days
work, not a limitation of hours, but a
limita ton Of the amount Of work. This Is
entirely inconsistent with a fundamental
object of American education, which Is
to enable man or a woman to do in a

Washington, Oct. 2S.-From a source
considered in Wisconsin to be Of the high
est authority there comes to Washing
ton the almost incredible news that Sena-
tor Spooner Is not likely to be returned
to the senate. This explains the meaning
Of Governor La Follettes bold declara-
tion at Appleton last Saturday that he
would support Senator Spooner for y re-
election only after the senator had pub
licly pledge himself to abide by the state
platform This the senator has not thus
far done. 1t Is contended that the gov
ernor is stronger than the Spooner-Payne
combination and that he will not yield an
inch to them.
A friend of the senator states that In
New York short time before Mr.. Spoo-
ner went back to Wisconsin to partici-
pate in the campaign, he said that he felt
as If he were going to his doom. He en-
tered the fight, his friend says, mainly
through sense Of duty to his long-time
supporters. and also because he was urged
to do so by the administration In Wash
ington. 1t is believed that II he sees he
is beaten. he will announce in a few days
that he is not a candidate.
