SHE SAILS A FAST SL00P
MISS GIST OF FRAWLEY G.
Boats-Rapid Rise on the
Stage. :.

Miss Eleanor Gist, who made her debut
with the Frawley company recently, IS
the wife of Frederick Edward MacKay, a
we'll known New York writer on theatri-
cal topics. She was born in Baltimore,
a city famed for it's beautiful women, but
it is doubtful if even Baltimore can show
| "any more at home like Miss Gist. How
ever, she does not owe her position upon
the stage to her beauty alone, for last
season, with Grace George, she scored
pronounced bit in Under Southern
Skies.''
Miss Gist comes from good, old Mary
land family and the portrait of one OF her
ancestors hangs in Independence Hall,
Philadelphia Her father was an officer
in the confederate army. Another Of her
ancestors came to this country with
Leonard Calvert, Lord Baltimore, when
he was made governor OF Maryland Dy

is one of which Miss Gist is somewhat
proud. She is also proud of her ability to

THINKS IT'S A HOLE COAL Bin IS FULL C
Average Minneapolitan Preparing
for Winters Emergencies
BY LAYING IN FUEL SUPPLIES
Fear of Effect of Strike Has Moved
Him to Action Unusually
zsE- early. -5.. .s~.- B..

Not for many years has there been
summer In Minneapolis when the coal
bins looked less lonesome than they do
now. Instead of that dreary spectacle Of
an empty bin and an unused shovel on the
floor, telling of hard earned dollars that
have gone up in smoke, there Is a full
bin, a shovel hanging on the nail ready for
use, and in the mind Of the head Of the
house the happy thought that no matter
what January brings the anthracite Is in
and paid for.
The money will go up in smoke just
the same and there will be some ground
for regret that it has to go that way, but
for the time there is pleasure in the
knowledge that the first chill winds of
fire fed from full coal bin instead of
capering madly to the music of James,
Go Hustle the Coal
Minneapolis coal deapers are doing a

TIL eanthracite coal trust has had a
coaxing plan in force for two years, de-
signed to induce the public to buy its
winter supply of coal in summer, but the

| has never worked with the charm that the
| trust expected. .'
| AFTER getting through those months in
| which the coal bin makes heavy drafts on
the exchequer, the consumer has been IN

! The fact that coal is getting scarce in
the northwest, that none is coming up the
lakes, and that the strike may last sever
al weeks, points to a scarcity of coal and
higher prices, and the consumer is putting
in his entire supply. One of the large
coal companies did June business equal

The demand of the past two weeks has

Detective Malone Alleges a Flaw
In His Indictment.
ERRORS IN DRAWING GRAND JURY
And the Absence OF a Quorum When
Indictment Was Voted Are
Among Allegations. =

Fred L. Malone, the indicted police de-
tective, pleaded not guilty before Judge
simpson this noon, but was granted until
next Tuesday to withdraw the plea and
until next Wednesday to argue motion
made this morning to quash the indict-
ment. Some new questions are raised
that are at least novel and interesting.
When Judge Simpson was ready to hear
Fred H. Ayres, counsel for Malone, OBJ
lection was promptly made to the grand
jury panel as whole and also to the
members severally. In support of the OBJ
lection it was alleged that in drawing the
jury the required number Of ballots were
not taken from the grand jury box tna'
the drawing was not conducted IN the
presence of the officers prescribed in the
statutes; that it was not conducted al
least fifteen days before the court; tha1
the ballots were not legally drawn with
regard to folding and the receptacle fol
them; that the drawing did not take place
in the presence Of a Judge Of the dlstrlc'
court; that the Indictment was not found
indorsed and presented as required by the
statute. ss% >.
On this latter point it is further al
legged that Lester B.. ElWood, VINO was
supposed to be present when the evloence
against Malone was considered, was no' no
actually there and did not hear the
evidence, neither was he present wher
the indictment was voted or when 1T was
returned on June 26.f In addition Isaac
McMichael who was present when the In
dictment was reported, had not been pres:
ent when the vote was taken. In othe]
words, only fifteen grand Jurors Wert
present, he says, when the indictment wa'
voted, whereas the law requires at leas
sixteen for a quorum. .--
In the objections to the jurors indi'
vidua1ly it is alleged that they are no
members of the jury within the meaning
of the statutes; that each and every one
is prosecutor, and, furthermore, thel1
state of mind is such that they cannot &C
impartially' and without prejudice to, thf
substantial rights of the defendant.
The only affidavit presented was In re-
lation to the absence of Grand Jurors NC
Michael and Elwood, but the defense ex
poets to have many more, and in order t.
give ample time in which to make prepa
ration, the hearing Of the motion wa
postponed until next Wednesday. Assist
ant County Attorney Al J. Smith urge
that plea be entered and this was con
sented to with the proviso that any mo
tion desired could be made. inspector
Malone then formally entered plea

.DWYER CH0KED HIN
The 10th Ward Alderman Grapples
With the City Engineer.
HE'S A LIAR sUBLETTE HAD SAID
Whereat the Blood of Dwyers' AM
cestors Provoked Him to Ac-
~ tive Hostility. e. .s.r

The recent choking incident in the
United States senate involving Messrs.
Bailey OF Texas and Beveridge Of lndt-
ana was duplicated in the outer office
of the Minneapolis city engineer this
morning, when Alderman James DWyer
of the tenth ward and City Engineer
George w. Sublette came together in q
in each case it was a democratic states
man who was the choker and g. republican
who was the choked.
There has been a touch Of bad blood
between the city engineer and the tenth
ward man for some months. Alderman
Dwyer complains that he does notN get
his share of the patronage distributed
by the city engineer. and he has made
vociferous protests about three times
day ever since the outside work be-
gan last spring. The city engineers
choler has been rising steadily and to-day
burst its bounds. Alderman Rand pre-
cipitated the conflict. With Alderman
Dwyer he was engaged in conversation
in the outer office when Mr.. Sublette
came out.
"Mr. City Engineer. let me present your
good friend, Alderman Dwyer," put in
the sixth ward man, with a low bow Of
mock courtesy.
Instead of answering the Josh" in kind,
the city engineer, as one of those present
describes 1t, went up a mile in the air.
Drawing himself up, he replied ffigidly,
'"Mr Dwyer is no friend of mine. don't
want liars for my friends"
On the instant the ice mans hands
leaped for the city officials throat. His
burly form followed. Getting a good grip,
Alderman Dwyer pressed his antagonist
down over the counter and was disengag-
ing one hand to put in a series Of short
arm jabs when Rand and others near at
hand pounced upon him and dragged him
out OF range.
All was dire confusion. Everybody in
the office crowded to the scene. The city
engineers stenographer screamed Justify
and fastened out of hhe danger zone.
After being parted the wrathful pair tried
hard to get at each other again and were
with difficulty kept apart. Following the
exchange OF a few heated compliments
the belligerents were hustled away. The
city engineers only marks were badly
ruff1ed collar. The alderman carried away
very red face and some black stains on
his hand where the city official had
pounded him with an inkstand.

James Marple Adorns His Quarters
at the Jail.

at the Jail.
James Maple demented, who was taken
in charge by the police yesterday, had a
lovely time at the county jail last night.
When he was left in undisturbed possession
of his cell he proceeded to decorate his tenn
porary home according to the weird ideas OF
beauty which an insane person may have.
He was naturally hampered by lack of ma
terials, but his clothes, bedding and every
thing movable in the cell was sufficient.
Every garment he had on him and every
thing pertaining to his bed was torn to
shreds and fastened to the sides and top
of the cell in festoons and any other way
his fancy could suggest. The effect was
picturesque in a crazy way.
Maple was enjoying himself Immensely
when an attendant from Rochester broke into
his play and took him back.
