From his grave face and the announce

the second floor, this part of the build

wholesale grocery stock. The buildings
were filed with the most infammable

CALDERONE WILL. :. !: +.
PLEAD SE[F.D[F[E|NSE
Attorney Thinks BattaIia Lured
Accused to Franklin Avenue
Bridge.

Self-defense will be the plea of Anto-
MO Calderone when he is tried for the
murder of Salvatore Battalia. 1t will
be claimed that Battalia attacked him
first, that he wrested the knife away
and fought back, and that the knife
belonged to Battalia. Calderone will
deny having purchased it at the Palace
pawnshop on Washington avenue.
Attorney F. L. MCGEE was last night
interviewed by The Globe, and
while he declined to outline the de-
tense his answers to interrogations
warrant this assumption. He admitted
that he believes that third man was
with Battalia and Calderone and thinks
that it is not surprising that Calderone
does not know who. he was. He says
1t has been his experience with Italians
that they generally introduce people
with the simple statement this is my
friend" without giving the name.
Only on one point did Mr.. McGhee
make positive statement that midi
Gates what his course is likely to be.
He said that Calderone went to DR..
Turner's Office for treatment, and did
not go near 500 Robert street This
was a point made much Of at the in
quest by the coroner ana Assistant
County Attorney Smith.
There is Minneapolis attorney who
had dealings with both Calderone and
Battalia who thinks that Calderone did
the killing in self-defense. He thinks
it is probable that Battalia was the one
who proposed the trip to South Mime
apolis that brought the party to the
Franklin avenue bridge, where the
murder was committed. Battalia did
not care for dances and Calderone was
wild to attend them, hence he argues
that as this was the cause OF their trip,
that Battalia used Calderone's weak
ness for dances to lure him to lonely
spot.
The attorney says further that there
is a dispute between the clerks at the
Palace pawnshop as to whether Calde-
rome bought the knife there and that
there is a probability that Battalia
might have bought it himself at some
other place, as it was a knife not out
Of the ordinary.
This same attorney thinks that the
third man is in Chicago and will be
produced at the proper time.
Calderone is still inclined to be reti-.
cent and lies on his cot In his cell
quietly except when an effort is made
to get him to talk about the murder,
when he generally begins to groan and
declares he is vera seek"

TAMMANY CLUB
IS R[PQD|AT[D
Eastward Republican Commit
teemen Emphaticaily Refuse
to Indorse the Outfit.

In the turning down by an over
whelming majority of resolution in
dorsing the Ramsey County Repub-
lican club by the precinct committee
men Of the First ward, another fall
has been taken out of the Tigers, the
new Republican club organized some
weeks ago by a score Of young men
who hoped to form an organization
strong enough to give them absolute
control of all political matters within
the Republican party.
Under suspicion from the very be-
ginning, and charged openly by party
leaders with being a band of political
insurgents, the young braves who have
identified themselves with the new or
ganization have not been SO active in
securing members as they had ex-
pected to be before the real motives
of the organization were disclosed by
T h e g o b e.
Sought Endorsement of Committeeman.
One of these plans is said to have
been a scheme to secure the indorse-
ment of the Tigers by the precinct
committeeman of the different wards
throughout the city, and with this
plan in view the leaders went to work
to secure the assistance of the precinct
committeeman.
Those committeeman who were
thought friendly to the new organiza-
ton were approached and solicited in
the matter, but the plants said to have
been unsuccessful, the committeeman,
with very few exceptions, having no
desire to desert the old Ship for the
new and untried craft. T. q.
Out in the First ward, however, the
Tigers secured the promise of some of
the committeeman to assist them in
the matter, and a meeting of the COM
mittee was called for the purpose of
adopting resolution ihdorsing the
Tiger organization. q
The meeting, called especially for
this purpose, was held at -Sjoberg's
hall Wednesday night. but instead of
indorsing the insurgent.l organization
the committeeman votedi down the res
olution by an overwhelming. majority.
Similar attempts to have the. club
Endorsed by the committeeman of other
wards are said to have been blocked
before meeting of the committee was
even called. -.
The leaders of the Tiger organiza-
ton are much perturbed over the un-
looked for action on the part of the
First ward committee, and have been
using every effort to keep the matter
from becoming public. aiYf ~e32ses

/ While the investigation into the al
legged municipal scandal is not yet
completed by the grand jury, it is gen.
orally believed by those who are best
informed as to the situation that no
indictments will be returned.
The testimony. of the most import
ant witnesses is already in the hands
of the grand jury, and from semi
authoritative source comes the tip that
unless the witnesses yet to be called
are able to furnish more substantial
evidence than has been given before
the investigating body, the matter will
be dropped.
Regardless of the runors and sensa-
tional charges made prior to the in
vestigation, it is learned that the grand
jury has not as yet been able to secure
any evidence which would warrant an
indictment being returned against any
of the persons who have been charged
with crookedneSS
The failure of the grand jury to sa-
cure the evidence expected from the
witnesses who have already been sum-
moned leaves little or no hope that
the witnesses yet to be called will be
able to give any testimony of a sensa-
tional nature.
Little Evidence ELECTED.
Even the testimony of Assemblyman
Schurmeier, who is responsible for the
charges that attempts had been made
to bribe certain members Of the coun-
Gil, is said to have been very weak,
! and it is understood the witnesses who
have been called before the grand jury
since Mr.. Schurmeier finished his tes-
timony have either been unable or dis
inclined to strengthen the case against
the parties under suspicion.
Mr.. Schurmeier was before the grand
jury three days, and is known to have
talked willingly, showing no desire to
withhold any facts from the grand
jury, but the sworn statements made
by him are said to be far from suf-
ficient to secure the conviction of any
of his fellow members in the council,
and without evidence which will war
rant a conviction, it is not thought that
County Attorney Kane will recommend
the returning of any indictments.
There is no intimation from any
source that the grand jury has not
done. its full duty in the investigation,
but it is learned that the witnesses
make case which is considered
strong enough to warrant the return
ing of Indictments.
i The grand jury is still at work upon
1 the lease, but the witnesses yet to be
called are not expected to give testf-
/ mOny which will throw any great
amount of additional light upon the
charges, and the result of the investi-
cation is expected to be favorable to
the officials and others who have been
charged with WrongdOing.

TWO VIOLENT DEATHS
AT ALBERT LEA
Man Is Frozen and Youth Miss
ing and Supposed to Have
Been Drowned. >
Special to The Globe.

Spec1ai to The Globe. tSf
ALBERT LEA, Mimi, Nov, 26.-Two
violent deaths marred the Thanksgiving
exercises here today The first was that
of an unknown man whoiwas found i'm
conscious on the lawn of a residence early
this morning with his legs and arms
frozen stiff. Physicians and the po-
lice worked over him two hours, but he
died some hours later, never having re-
gained consciousness. He was about for
ty-fve years of age and his name cannot
be learned.
The second is supposed to be young
man named Fred Croyer, who, it is feared
was drowned last night while skating.
Somebody was heard calling for help and
hole in the ice was found, but no body
could be discovered This morning the
young man was missing and another
search was made. but nothing developed.
The young man was eighteen years of age
and the son of Rev. DIR. Creyer of Dixon,
Ill. The family formerly resided here,
where DR.. Grover was pastor of the Pres
byterian church. Search will be contin-
ued.
