The indianapolis Journal objects to
the publication of kodak pictures of
public men taken in the act of speak
ing. AS sound, unfortunately, in such
instances, cannot be photographed,
the pictures simply represent the vic
tim standing with his mouth open and
gazing into space. Most persons
caught in that way look foolish, not to
say imbecile. The writer concludes
that the camera, even under the most
favorable circumstances, is an un-
truthful machine; when it is allowed
free, untrammeled course it becomes
positively tiendish and should be sup
pressed. But there are fools in all
trades and in all amusements. The
fool kodaker is annoying, but certain
ly less dangerous taking idiotic pic
lures than rocking a boatload of
young merrymakers. Suppress the
fool in every man, and we shall have
gained at the present rate Of progress
about hundred thousand years in
human civilization.

source comes the proposition for an
international conference to deal with
trusts. Only those powers are in

leading European nations. A trust

resolution of Representative Bartlett Of
Georgia directing the Secretary of War to
furnish the House information as to what

three democrats voting for it. All the DEM

MAYOR AMES INDICTED
CHARGED WITH ATTEMPT TO
BRIBE COMMISSIONERS.
Another Sensation in Connection With
Minneapolis Grand Jury-Detec-
tive Norbeck a Fugitive.

MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, June 17.-Another
sensation developed here today, when 1t be-
came known that Albert Ames, mayor of
Minneapolis, had been indicted by the grand
jury on the charge of offering bribe. The
charge is that the mayor endeavored to
have his secretary, Thomas r. Brown, ap
pointed sheriff by the county commission
ers, when it became evident that Philip
Megaarden would be removed from the
office by the governor for malfeasance.
In attempting to carry out this plan he is
alleged to have offered to so arrange mat
ters that the $4,000 annual income of the
sheriffs office should be divided equally
between Brown and the three county COM
missoners who were to vote for him, form
ing majority of the board.
The evidence to this effect was given be-
fore the grand jury by County Commission
er M. w. Nash and Edward Sweet.
Ames has been mayor of Minneapolis four
times, having been elected thrice a dem
ocrat and again in November, 1900, after
having been out of Office for some years, as
a republican. He is a veteran of the civil
war, in which he served as surgeon, and Is
a G. A. r. man.
When the trial of Detective CHRISTOPHER
Norbeck, on the charge of bribery, in the
police bribery cases opened today, w. w.
Erwin, his attorney, arose and confessed
that he did not know the whereabouts of
his client. The disappearance of the ac-
cused caused great excitement, and a
bench warrant will be issued for him. Since
the conviction of Gardner, special officer,
and the commitment of Detective Harvey
for perjury, Norbeck has been very despond-
ent and has threatened suicide. His bail
bond was for 50 COO

NEW CENTRAL.
Property Purchased at Corner Of 14th
and r Streets and on
18th Street

A deed appeared on the real estate record
today that marks the close of realty pur-
chases that are of great public Importance
The deed in question places the fee simple
to the property al the northwest corner OF
14th and r streets in the American Tele-
phone and Telegraph Company. The owner,
Mr.. Clarence B. NOrment, sold the property
through Fitch, Fox i Brown, real estate
brokers. 1t has frontage of 40 feet and a
depth of 40 feet to a twenty-foot alley.
The price paid for the $500 square feet was
SO, 900, which is at the rate of 81 per square
foot.
Another deed has gone on record
through the same firm of brokers by
which the same company will acquire the
property known as us and 40 18th street.
The dimensions of the latter are 40 by l5o
feet. with tifteen-foot alley on the north
side and thirty-foot alley in the rear.
Several weeks ago, as stated in The Star,
the negotiations for the purchase OF TINS
property We're concluded, and, as then
stated, the price agreed upon was s. per
square foot. It was not then known VINO
the purchaser was, but it is now under
stood that it Is the American Telephone

is further understood that while the long
distance company appears as the purchaser
l

owner, and this method was adopted to
finance the enterprise.

The acquisition of this realty marks the
beginning of a period of expansion on the
part of the company, which is made neces-
sary in part by the law passed at the pres
ent session of Congress, which greatly en-
larges the underground area of the COM
pany 1t is estimated that, counting the
cost that will be involved in putting down
underground conduts in the enlarged area
now served by the overhead wires, and the
money that will be expended in stations,
that the expenditures of the company
within the next year Will be something ike
a million of dollars.
The ground on 18th street between G. and
II streets. above referred to, is to become
the central station of the company, ultl-
mately to replace the one now at 14th anu
q streets which is only leased property. 1t
is propOSed-t to erect on 18th street an eight
story fircpToof building, which Will be oc-
cupicd as the headquarters of the COM
pany. The property at the northwest cor
uer of l4th and T. streets is to be improved
by the erection of 4 fOuT-StOry structure,
which will be used as one of the stations
of the company. As is well known. the
company now has n station on b street,
fronting the Capitol grounds on the north,
and one on 31st street in GEORGETOWN, be
sides the central station at 14th and q
