Arguments Heard on the Motion
to Set Aside the
Default.
Bondsmen Suspect Ames Of Trying
to Strengthen His Defense
Against Them.

After being passed around among the
judges of the district bench for the past
six months, DR.. A. A. Anes' motion to
set aside the default of his $4,000 bonds
came on for a hearing this morning before
Judge A. M. Harrison. Judge D. f.
Simpson, before whom Arnes was first
arraigned, and who had charge of the
criminal calendar at the time the default
was entered by Judge MCGEE, sat with
Judge Harrison.
Henry S. Mead, appearing for DR.. Ames,
argued at length in support Of the motion.
He introduced affidavits by A. A. Ames,
A. B. Jackson, o. F. G. Day. Harriet s.
Ames, DR.. ]. w. Macdonald. v. P. Rob
erts and Dr. Ira j. Prouty, all of which
tended to show that the doctor left the
city with the permission of the officials
and on account of his health. The attor-
ney's main point was not the permission
to 60 however, but that the doctors in
tention was not to escape justice; that he
came back voluntarily and stood trial and
should not be held liable under the bond.
County Attorney Boardman spoke for
the state and denied that he had ever
entered into any agreement with DIR.
Ames whereby the defendant was allowed
to leave or to remain away. FIhe cOun-
sells statements, however, were not con-
sidered as evidence in the case and he
was informed that he would have to file
! affidavtts. These will be prepared and
| filed before next Friday. The final hear
| ing will take place next Monday.
William Boutell represented by WEIGH
& Hubachek, was one fthe bondsmen.
He is now the plaintiff in an action to
recover his expenditures from DR.. Ames,
and upon application was made party in
the present action: Mr.. Huba chek stated
| that he considered this motion to set
aside the default as a means to establish
a defense for DR.. Ames in Mr.. Boutelf S
| suit against him. E -'.a>

IRELAND HAS CHANGED
P. J. Kennedy Notes the Difference
After % Years Absence.

Greater Ireland is in the United States
P. J. Kennedy, of the we'll known sporting
goods firm, delivered himself Of this Hiberni-
cism this forenoon on his return from
foreign tour, which included the emerald
isle. '.-.s
1t was twenty-three years ago that Mr..
Kennedy was last in Ireland and he was in
a position to notice any changes. Most no.
table was the passing of the old Jarvies, the
jaunting car drivers who were ST largely re-
sponbile for the wide fame and high place
won by native Irish wit. There are still
jaunting car drivers, Of course, but they are
merely drivers.
Along with the famous, old Jarvies, Ireland
has lost large proportion Of it's middle aged
population. The people there now are the
very young or the very old. So many of the
physically strong and ambitious have come
to the United States that their absence from
the old sod especially tsriking to Mr.
Kennedy. This is in spite of the fact that
political conditions there were notably i'm
proved But the traveller understood it thor
oily for Ireland, were England and the
continental countries, seemed unutterably
slow.
"They say that the Americans blow good
deal about their native country said Mr..
Kennedy this forenoon, but l tell you they
don't blow half as much as they have rea-
son to. My trip convinced me of that and it
was noticeable that every American on the
boat coming home felt the same way"

RAILROADS.
RUSSELL DID 1T
How the Wisconsin Central Came to Make
EauIeS' Rate,

V. c. Russell, Minneapolis local passen
ger agent of the Wisconsin Central, made
the special train rate to New York for the
Eagles convention, and not General Pas
senger Agent J. c. Pond. All sorts of sto-
ries have been told as to how Mr.. Pond
was forced into the rate, but it now ap-
pears that probably Mr.. Pond has not yet
heard Of the move which has created so
much talk. Mr.. Russell denies that the
Omaha had the business at any time, and
he says that he found by telephoning that
the road was not even bidding on the
business, as reported. 49,. IL.
Notwithstanding the fact that consider
able talk has been heard about cut and
regular rates for the northwestern Eagles
to the national convention, it is believed
that a still better rate will be forthcom-
ing. The 500 line Is the road slated for
the surprise. The special train rate al
ready announced by the Central and Wa
bash is $32 for the round trip.

and of this amount only 125, 100000 is ac-

Coal Barons Admit Plan to Bleed Public

New York, June 9.-The interstate
commerce commission returned to
New York yesterday to continue the
investigation in the complaint that the
coal carrying roads have been and are
violating the pooling section of the
Sherman antitrust law. The COM
mittee declined the hearing until the
United States circuit court had passed
ont he right of the coal road presi-
dents to refuse TO answer questions
as TO contracts between the coal COM
panies and the railroads.
Robert NJ. Olyphant, former presi-
dent of the Delaware & Hudson, one of
the respondent railroads, was the first
witness. He corroborated the state
ments of the other coal men who have
testified that the price of coal to the
public is TO be raised 10 cents ton
a month until maximum increase Of
so cents ton is reached. He was not
prepared TO say that the increased cost
