SUES MAGAZINE
FOR LIBELING HIM
County Attorney Boardman,
of Hennepin, Brings Ac-
ton Against McCIure's.

County Attorney Boardman of Hen
nep1n county, has brought an action
against the publishers of McClure's s
Magazine for $4,000 damages sustain
ed by the publication of an article in
the January number of their magazine
which reflected upon the qualifications
of Mr.. Boardman in the conduct of his
office
The papers were served last night on
Fred c. Little, Northwestern represent
at1Ve of McClure's by United States
Marshal w. E. Grimshaw, and the case
will come up for hearing at the March
term Of the United States court in
Minneapolis
Ever since the publication of the ar
ticle referred to Mr.. Boardman has
had the matter under advisement, and
papers were not served sooner because
1t would have been necessary for him
to have gone to New York to make
such service, and the case would nee
eSSar1ly have to be tried at that point
consequently he has bided his time for
a representative of the magazine to put
in his appearance in this city, and now
he will be able to fight the case on his
own ground. Mr.. Boardman feels con-
hdent that he has good grounds for
action, and believes that he will win
out in the suit.
The article referred to is one that
was written by representative of the
magazine, giving a history of the mu-
n1c1pal corruption that has made Min
neapolis much advertised city for the
manner in which it's officials conducted
a systematic game Of graft, until they
were brought up with "a sudden jerk
through the efforts of the famous
April grand jury" and the co-opera-
ton Of two of the principle "big mitt''
men BILLY" Edwards and Charlie
Howard, who were arrested on the
charge Of swindling when they were
supposed to be operating in the city
under police protection.
The article states that Mr.. Board
man, county attorney, and Hovey c.
Clark, foreman of the grand jury had
some words in the grand jury room, at
which time Mr.. Clarke told Mr.. Board
man that they did not wish his assist
ance because they doubted his integ-
rity and they wanted man on whom
they could rely.

HEWITT EULOGTZED
BY LEADING MEN
ExPresident Cleveland and President
Roosevelt Pay Tributes.

NEW YORK, Jan. 26.-The late
Abram S. Hewitt was eulogized by
former President Grover Cleveland to-
hight at a memorial meeting held at
the City club. Addresses also were
made by Edward M Shepard and City
Chamberlain E. R. L. Gould, and Rich
ard Watson Glider read a poem, ''The
Great Citizen" which he wrote for Mr.
Hewitt's funeral. Wheeler w. Peck
ham presided.
The following letter from President
Roosevelt was. read:
MY Dear Mr. Peckham: I wish
there was some way in which I could
express my profound sense of personal
bereavement in the death Of Abram S.
Hewitt, and above all my feelings as a
citizen of what we all owe him. His
presence has been, in the literal sense
of the word, an inspiration to the de-
cent performance Of duty by all who
wished well to the state, and the mem
ory of his life is a heritage of honor
for the city. Sincerely yours,
Theodore Roosevelt"
Mr.. Cleveland said:
The tribute of sadness which here
prevails is but a subdued echo of the
sorrow of thousands of our fellow
countrymen who are mourning the
death of a good man and a useful citi-
zen. The universal grief that has
troubled this great city, where Abram
). Hewitt lived so long and wrought
so well, indicate the true value of his
life. Today We find welcome consola-
ton in the thought that our distin-
guished fellow citizen, though dead. is
not entirely lost to us.
I'VE have fallen upon a time when
many disturbances in the currents of
our social, political and industrial life,
nearly give rise to the fear that the
stalWart and patriotic popular views
essential to our national success and
happiness are growing weak and per-
maps waning to extinction. But the
dead whom we here lament is not lost
to us. From his death comes reass11r-
ance; and We are taught by the spon-
taneous tribute paid on every side to
ms civic usefulness that the American
people still gratefully dwell upon dis
interested service for the public veal.
ana that patriotic impulse and high
aspirations still have an abiding place
in the hearts of our countrynen.
l believe | but voice your thoughts
when l say that Mr.. Hewitt has taught
US not only how to live, but also how
10 ole. AS members of a nation more
favored by God than any other which
lie mas permitted to exist, let us. real
lze our obligations to make safe and
secure the government by the peopIe
Whlch has been intrusted to our keen
ing. Let us remember that IT can
thrive and grow only in the atmos-
phere OF popular devotion and unseI-
!lsn attachment, and above all things
let US open our hearts to such infin-
ences and teachings as emanate frono
the life and death which we today
memoralize."

COURT GOES
AGAINST HITCHCOCK
Federal Judge Says Congress
Has Exceeded It's Legis
lative Power.

SALT LAKE CITY, Utah, Jan. 2e.-
Judge Marshall, of the United States
district court, today sustained the de-
murrer of the defendant in the case of
the United States VS.. Frank Martinus,
who was charged with running band
of 1900 sheep on the Fish Lake forest
reserve in violation of the rule fOrmu-
lated for the protection Of forest re-
serves by the secretary of the interior.
Judge Marshall states that congress
has exceeded it's legislative power in
empowering the secretary of the in
terror to make rules, the violation of
which would be a criminal act, and
held that the law was unconstitutional.
The decision is regarded as of the
greatest Importance to Utah sheep
men, as similar cases will be thrown
out of court.

ALLIANCE STRAINED SEVERELY.
Great Britain Prefers American to Ger-
man Friendship.

Special Gable to The Globe
LONDON, Jan. 26.-WhiIe outward
harmony continues to prevail between
England and Germany with respect to
Venezuela, the alliance has lately un-
dergone severe strain. The ill-timed
violence of the German warships has
moved Lord Landsdowne, the foreign
minister, to institute immediate inquir-
les into the circumstances of the case,
Count Metternich the German am
bassador, telegraphed to Berlin for in
formation. Baron Won Richthofen re-
piled that the imperial government
awaited details from the scene Of ac-
ton, but was confident that the Ger
man commodore attacked the Vene-
zuelan fort only as the result of serious
provocation.
With this dispatch before them, Lord
Lansdowne and Count Metternich had
an interview. 1t was impossible to tell
what passed between them, but if Lord
LanSdoWne'S remarks reflected on the
tactics of the kaiSer'S naval subordi-
mates, they must have bordered on the
character of a protest. One consider
alton is operating powerfully to keep
the British government inside the
tracks of the Anglo German alliance.
Lord Lapsdowne's original purpose was
to heal the breach between the British
and German nations and remove what
he believed to be a constant menace to
peace. The king sympathized with this
object, and the whole cabinet acquiesc-
ed in LanSdoWne's plan. The foreign
minister clings to the hope that his OBJ
ject may yet be realized. He thinks
that if it is, he will emerge from the
pending complications with his diplo-
matte reputation intact Consequently,
seconded by his colleagues, he intends
to postpone an actual rupture with
Germany as long as possible, always
determined, however, to accept that al
tentative rather than estrange the
United States. Any wanton offense to
the United States on the part of Ger
many would cause Great Britain to
dissociate herself from the kaisers pol
icles. The foreign office and the state
department are in regular communica-
ton and there is reason to believe that
they understand each other.

So Declares an Uneonfrmed
Report From Caracas, Bri
tish Naval Officer Being
Quoted to This Effect AT
Any Rate the Prospects of
a Settlement Seem Bright
er Than Ever.

CARACAS, Jan. 26.-The Associate
Press correspondent has just receive
communication from the British naval
officer at Guaira informing him that the
blockade will be raised on Wednesday.
Not Confirmed in WASHINGTON.
WASHINGTON. D. c., Jan. 26.-
There is no information in WASHINGTON
to justify the positive statement con-
tanned in the Caracas dispatch that the
Venezuelan blockade will be raised on
Wednesday. Minister Bowen continues
hopeful that such a happy consumma-
ton will result from the pending nego-
tlatfons, as the latest proposition he
has made to the allied governments is
regarded by him as an eminently fair
one. He is still awaiting formal re-
plies to that proposition from Great
Britain and Germany and on these will
depend the question whether the block
ade is to be raised.
The question now to be determined is
the amount of the customs receipts
which are to be given as a guaranty.
Great Britain is believed to be favor
able to accepting the 80 per cent Of.
fered by Mr.. Bowen, while Germany is
supposed to be insisting on so per cent.
What Bowen Proposes.
Minister Bowen, acting for Venezue1
Ia, In return for the raising of the
blockade, pledges 80 per cent Of the re-
ce1pts of the ports of Porto Cabello and
La Guayra, the same to be collected by
a joint commission made up of one rep
nnIz q
having claims against Venezuela.
Light From London.
LONDON, Jan. 26.-Great Britain
and Germay have informed their rep
resentatives at Washington that they
consider Minister Bowen's proposals
regarding VeneZuela'S guarantees to
form a satisfactory basis for further
negotiations. In addition to the offer OF
the part of the customs at La Guayra,
and Porto Cabello as a guarantee, Mr.,
Bowen informed the powers that sew
eral New York banks had expressed
their willingness to undertake the paw
ment of the first claims demanded by
the powers upon the basis Of such
guarantee. AS soon as the powers
heard Of the consent of the reliable
houses to guarantee the payment of
the first claims the blockade will be
raised. This is expected to be within
two or three days.
In the event of this arrangement be-
ing concluded, it is supposed that the
customs Of the two ports mentioned.
will be administered Jointly by repre-
sentatives of the powers and Of the
banks concerned. 1t is understood here
that the banks referred to by Mr..
Bowen are J. & w. Seligman & Co.
and j. P. Morgan & Co. The guaran-
tee offered to the powers through Mr..
Bowen is a portion of the customs re-
ceipts Of La Guayra and perhaps Of
several other ports. The proposal was
first made to Great Britain, which pro-
visionally accepted it, and then to Ger
many, which accepted it in principle on
Saturday. The allies are now exam
lining the value of the guarantee offered
and are negotiating details, like the
form of payment.
