It is reported on good authority in rail-

the 500 in the last eight or ten years 1t

Mr.. and Mrs r. R. Winter Of Rangoon,
British Burmah, are in the city as guests
of George S. Winter and Ernest s.. Win
ter. 1851 Sixteenth avenue S. Mr. Winter
fills the important position as Lloyds'
representative in Rangoon and is one of
the busiest men in all farther India
Though quite an Englishman in appear
ance and speech, Mr.. Winter is a Mime
apolis boy He was brought up and edu-
Gated here, but has not made Minneapolis
his home since 1862. In that year he went
east to attend college, but went to sea in
stead For tie next twenty years he Wis
Dited every quarter. OF, the globe which
could be reached by sailing vessel and
then located in India, where he has had
several important positions.
/ Mr.. Winter comes to Minneapolis every
few years to visit his father and brother
and what few of his boyhood friends are
still in town. Travelling Is now only a
pleasure to him. For instance: he was
only nine days in making the journey from
London to Minneapolis, leaving there on
June and arriving here last Monday,

A "wireless" Chess Game.
The passage over on the Cunarder
Campania was made interesting and
doubtless memorable by a game of chess
played by wireless telegraphy, which Mr..
Winter believes toS pc the hrst ever
recorded On the fifthcday out the steam
ship Philadelphia was brought into COM
munication by the Marconi system. She
was sailing on a parallel course 120 miles
away. After greetings had been, ex-
changed and friends had sent several mes
sages, some one suggested, a game of chess
and it was soon going Every one on
board the two ships became interested in
their respective champions and nothing
else was thought of. The Campania player
declared that he had. won the game, but
the Philadelphia player insisted on trying
over again. 49, ~ 49,
On the voyage the Campania communi-
Gated with her sister ship, the Lucania.
and with the Nantucket, lighthouse, though
neither could be seen. r, The vessel was In
dense fog when Nantucket was reached
by Marconigram. 49, 49,.
In addition to his position with Lloyds
Mr.. Winter is interested in oil. Back in
the country his company owns fifteen
square miles of oil bearing lands. Sew
eral gushers are at work. and the oil is
being refined by American experts. While
the company does not expect to drive the
Standard Oil concern out Of the market
Mr. Winter is satisfied. that he has 8

BLUE COATS ON GUARD
LOOKING AFTER PUBLIC SAFETY
Affairs in the Ranks Moving Along
as Though Everything
- f.. Was Serene. ...-.. ... ~.

Notwithstanding the fact that the police
department is badly demoralized by the
grand jury investigation which resulted
in the indictment Of the mayor, chief and
several detecti7 IS, the uniformed patrol
men are walking their beats and doing
their dutyhs as though nothing had hap
pened While everything at headquarters
is topsy- turvy, at the central station
everything is going on as though there
never was grand jury or any corruption.
The order and close application to duty
of the men of the central precinct during
these trying times is due in large meas
ure to Lieutenant Sinclair, the officer In
charge and the able assistance Of the
six sergeants attached to the, station.
These men are doing all they can to pro-
tect the property Of the precinct and to
prevent violations Of law. Lieutenant Sin
clair said to-day: T.
No matter what happens at headquarters
or how much corruption is discovered among
the plain clothes men, we going to do our
duty. AS long as we are members OF the
police force and are on the city's pay roll
we are going to do that. We are going to
prove to the people of Minneapolis that there
are some honest men on the police force, and
that because there is rottenness in other de-
partments it does not follow that the blue
coats are crooked. 80.

SPOKE NOT A WORD
DR.. Ames Silent Throughout Pro-
ceedings of His Arrangement.
PLEA DELAYED UNTIL MONDAY
Sign Bond and the Doctor
Is Released.

When Mayor Ames entered Judge Slmp-
sons court room for arraignment yester-
day afternoon he was accompanied by his
attorney, A. B. jackson, Thomas Lowry,
one of his bondsmen, and Coffee John
Fitchette, his factotum. OF the four,
Fitchette appeared the most concerned.
Mr.. Jackson headed the little procession
and elbowed a way for the party into
the courtroom. The room itself was
crowded, with every seat occupied and
men standing along the side walls. Out
side tho door, in the hallway, the crowd
was even more dense.
The mayor took his seat at the attor-
ineys' table. He leaned upon his cane
and kept his gaze upon the floor. AS he
sat down, however, he caught the eye OF
Thomas R. Brown, Jr., his private sec
rotary, who occupied seat in the jury
box AS their looks met the mayor
smiled and nodded. Then he relapsed
into the position which he maintained un-
til called before the bar.
AT ten minutes past o'clock, County
Attorney F. H. Boardman formally moved
the arraignment of A. A. Ames, and Judge
Simpson beckoned to the doctor to come
forward. He arose and stepped to the
clerks desk He followed the reading of
the indictment closely, reading a copy
held by Mr.. jackson. From the time he
entered the courtroom until the pro-
ceedings were ended, the mayor spoke not
a word. Moreover that genial manner
that has so endeared him to the people
was wanting. In the crowd were many OF
his friends, but he did not recognize them
by so much as a glance. Tom Brown
alone was favored with a smile. The
others we're to him as If they had not
been present. =
The indictment proved to be a volum-
irous document. 1t charges the mayor
with having offered County Commissioners
E. P. Sweet bride of 81 500 on condition
that he would vote for Thomas R. Brown,
Jr, as sheriff to succeed Phil T. Me-
garden, and relates in detail the circum-
stances of Mr.. Megaarden's removal from
Office by the governor. -t-.-.
The indictment was read by R. G.
Royce, clerk of the criminal court When
the reading was ended, Mr.. Jackson asked
for time in which to plead and was al
lowed until Monday morning at 10 o'clock.
The mayor and his friends then left the
courtroom, through Judge Simpsons
chamebr, after arrangements for his bond
of $1,000 had been completed, Thomas
Lowry and William Boutell being Dr.
AmeS' bOndsmen '-- 60 .'.

HOLDUPM MAN
How Canadian Police Hot Footed
on a Wrong Clue.
CHASED ..rHE DEACON is MILES
Merry Jest Upon His Maj
esty's Officers. = =.

Chased for fifteen miles by the mounted
police of Assiniboia, who mistook him for
one Of the Great Northern train robbers,
was the exciting experience of M. O. Nell
son OF this city, who has just returned
from a trip through that section of the
Northwest Territory. =
Mr.. Nelson, under the nom de plume of
"The Deacon has edited for several
years. regular column of sermonettes in
the Furniture News He is an active
member Of Westminster Presbyterian
church and one Of the wheel horses in the
Westminster club. However varied his
experiences may have been, he has never
robbed a train. He has just returned from
cross country trip in Assiniboia, the
color of a new saddle and has this to
say of his adventure:
In the southern central part of Assniboia,
around Wood mountain and Willowbunch, are
often seen two men known as Jones and Mel
son. With sthree other men, they have head
quarters just across the line in Montana,
and the gang is supposed to be implicated
in the Great Northern train robbery of about
a year ago. The farmers give these men
protection, and the men often borrow horses
from them, always sending word later where
the animals are to be found. "
When my companion, James Tasker of Ken
mare, N D., and myself, passed through
Willowbunch, the storekeeper there decided
to play a joke on the mounted pOllce.i so
when squad reached Willowbunch, a few
hours after our departure, he told them thai
Nelson had passed through there. With
out stopping to ask any questions, the. po-
lice jumped to the conclusion that we were
the train robbers and pursued us for ifteer
miles, SO we were told later, before they
discovered that we were not the men they
wanted. 1t was the first time 1 was eyel
suspected of being a horse thief or trair
robber. s. -
The southeastern and eastern central
parts of Assiniboia, Mr.. Nelson says, are
rapidly being settled up, principally by
farmers from Minnesota and North Da-
kota. The soil is very fertile, somewhat
lighter than that of the Red River valley
but. nevertheless excellent wheat land.
Along the line of the Canadian Pacific
in the eastern central part of the terri
tory, the largest wheat crops per acre ever
raised in the world have been harvested
Mr.. Nelson predicts a great future for this
part of Assiniboia, which he thinks will
make one Of the greatest farming coun-
tries in the world. The northern an6
western parts of the territory are moi
good farm lands, and are taken up by
cattle men.
