POLICE ISSUE WARNING
Pickpockets and Thieves Scent
Harvest in To-dav's Crowds.

Word was received at police headquar-
ters this morning that a gang of nearly 100
pickpockets is following the presidents
special train and Is expected to arrive in
the city tonight. They decided to skip
st. Paul, as 1t is difficult for them to
operate in daylighte but the police expect
to meet them in Minneapolis tonight.
While the police are forewarned, and,
as consequence, will be forearmed yet
it will be impossible for them to give the
large crowds. that will be on the streets,
absolute protection and some work will
undoubtedly be done. Superintendent
Conroy said to-day:
1--WE shall do everything in our power to
protect the people, but some of the crooks
will be able to do work in spite of.us.
want to warn the people against wearing
diamonds and jewelry tonight, and large
sums of money should not be carried.
Another thing think that ought to be
guarded against, is the leaving : of
residences alone. Sneak thieves and house
breakers will probably be in the city in
large numbers and if the people leave
their homes unguarded, there is little
doubt but that some will be raided: Some
one should be left in every house in the
city tonight" .--.

GOOD men As 1RIERS
q q Device Which May Expedite the
- aIaof Dr.. A. A..
Ames.
Gardner's Appearance as a State
Witness Creates Peculiar
Situation.

Upon the selection OF triers for en-
panelling a jury in the A. "A. A1nes case
depends to considerable extent the ce-
lcrity with which this task is accom-
plished. Often in trials of important
cases men are appointed who. are willing
to prolong the selection Of jurors because
as long as it lasts they are paid $40 per
day by the state All questions of actual
bias are submitted to the. triers and it is
within their power to hasten or retard the
selection.
; The plan has been suggested, and seems
to have met with approval, that In the
coming trial Of the former mayor there
be appointed three prominent attorneys,
menrof unquestioned ability and men to
whom $40 per day is small pay. Natural
y the foremost lawyers Of the city are
not looking for such work and in fact will
be disposed to refuse it, The court has
power, however, to compel any member Of
the bar whom it sees fit to serve in this
capacity and it Is understood that this
authority may be used. If it is. the work
Of getting twelve good men will be con-
siderably shortened and the guess is COM
monty made that ten days or two weeks
should be sufficient to accomplish the
task e<5 - Z f ~ 49,. ~ & e ,
Judge Elliott to whom the criminal cal
endar falls by lot this term, will try the
case. This arrangement comes simply as
matter OF routine and there mas never
been any question as to- who the trial
Judge would be if the case was taken uI
during the April term Of court: The de-
fendant insists upon as early trial as
possible and. although County Attorney
F. II. Boardman lis not yet returned from
California it is understood in his office
that the state will in all probability be
ready to proceed in the Ames case the
first week after the convening of court,
A peculiar and interesting phase of the
Ames trial will be the relation sustained
between Erwin & Mead, appearing fo1
the defendant, and their former client
Irwin A. Gardner, who is, expected to as
sume the role Of star witness against his
former chief Dry Ames' attorneys de-
Tended Gardner in his former. trial when
he was convicted. Now the client will
take the stand and will presumably testi-
fy to some interesting facts which would
have been material evidence in the case
against him. -

writing in answer to a question whether
radium would not cease to show its pc

there is little doubt that it would, but an
experiment to prove 1t is at present i'm
possible. What is called a vacuum is only
vacuum by courtesy. Most of the eX-
periments in high vacua are performed at
the exhaustion of about one millionth OF

nothing. for when the bulb in which the

says: -
':Our first opportunity to catch a
glimpse of the new star discovered by
Turner at Oxford, England, in the con-
stellation Gen1ini, occurred Wednesday
night at the close: Of a long spell of stormy
weather. Excellent observations of it
were secured OH Thursday night. Its
visual magnitude is about S14, though
photographically it is fully magnitude
brighter than this, on account of the rich
ness of the star in Photographic rays.
Its spectrum contains numerous bright
bands, the most, conspicuous being those
due to hydrogen. The history Of previous
new stars leads us to expect that the ma
ture ofahis object will change and in the
course Of a few weeks or months it will
become a nebula. In fact, our study OF
the spectrum leads to little doubt that
