What It Cost to Lay Hands On a
! = ~E Strike Picket.

Willis S. Shaft, secretary Of the Shaft
Pierce Shoe company, was fined SIS in the
police court this morning for assault and
battery upon Eddie Miller, a striker do
ing picket duty. Shaft admitted that he
had taken the picket by the collar and
pushed him away and that he had then
fallen or slipped. But Mr.. Shaft con-
tended that young Miller was standing in
the doorway to the building, in fact, was
trespassirg. The question seemed to re-
solve. itself into this: Was NIilleraon the
sidewalk or in the doorway when hands
were laid upon him. BY imposing the
fine the court appears to have ruled that
the incident came off on the sidewalk

lapslng over from the previous year.
or the number attended to, 1O4 were
disposed of and the remainder are still
pending.
While claims to the amount of $780,
were filed, only $685. $50 of the amount
was found to have any standing The
best the claimants could realize
through the courts was $4,61O, while.
those who accepted a compromise got
only $3.50. The latter represented
claims amounting to a trife over $40
600 and the amounts each received as
settlement in full ranged all the way
from $50 to $3.50.

SHORT WORK WITH TREATIES.
Committee May Dispose of Them All
at One Sitting.

WASHINGTON, D. c., March s.
The business of the executive session
of the senate today consisted in refer
ring. all the treaties before the senate
to the committee on foreign relations
and in referring the nominations sent
in today to the committees which will
pass on them. The committee on for
eign relations will meet Saturday to
consider the treaties and Senator Gull
lom, the chairman, expresses conf
dence that the committee will be able
to report all of them back after one
sitting.
The Republican senators will make
a united effort to secure action on the
Panama canal and Cuban reciprocity
treaties as speedily as possible. A
meeting of the Republican steering
committee of the senate was held after
adjournment today and this course was
decided on. The conclusion reached
that business might be greatly facili-
tated by keeping as many senators as
possible in4theseity and in their seats
and the individual members of the
steering committee agreed to devote
their energies to this end.
1t was stated as a rumor that Sen
ator Morgan had said that as there
We're a number OF new members of
the senate he would feel it incumbent
on himself to go over the grounds
quite completely and even to review
much that he had already said.

PURDY is NOMINATED.
So Is DR.. Crum, Who May BE Con-
firned This Time

WASHINGTON, D. c., March, s.
The president today sent the following
nominations to the senate:
Walter d. Crum, collector of GUS
toms, district Of Charleston, S. g.:
Page Morris, United States district
judge, district of Minnesota; William
NJ. Byrne, United States attorney, dis
trict of Delaware; William A. Day,
District of Columbia, and Milton ID.
Purdy, Minnesota, assistant attorneys
general.
The nomination of DIR. Crum was re-
ported adversely by the senate COM
merce committee of the Fifty seventh
congress. His denomination will be re-
ferred to the same committee, but ow-
ing to changes in the personnel Of
the committee, the president expects a
favorable report on it, 1t is under
stood to be the presidents intention
not to exercise special influence to Sc
cure favorable action on the nominal
ton. In the event of it's rejection by
the senate it is unlikely that the APP
pointment will be renewed. 1t is sinp-
ly the desire of the president to have
vote Of the senate on the nomination
He thinks that the appointment is en-
titled to that.

CLUE TO BACON
Through Stolen Books De-
tectiVes Find a Big
"Plant."

Frank and Irving Bacon, two crooks
of the porch climber class, were picked
up after neat little exhibition of Sher-
lock Holmes detective work yesterday
by Minneapolis detectives. The men
who made the capture are Detectives
Hansen, Gallagher, Bahan and Scallen.
Several thousand dollars worth of
property from the homes of well known
Minneapolis people has been recovered.
The two Bacons are in Jail. They are
young men, who look like counter
Jumpers, rather than crooks. Irving,
the older of the two, was shot three
years ago by Detective Howard, when
the latter had arrested his man and an
effort was made by the man to escape.
Howard shot him as he ran and he
came near dying.
The property recovered consists of
silverWare of nearly every description.
Cruets, spoons, forks, center pieces,
chatting dishes, silver mounted revolv-
ers, Greener shotguns, carpets, rugs.
books, and, in fact, nearly everything
that could be lifted" from an unoc-

The stuff came from different houses.

and Stephen Hall, 221 Clinton avenue.

Hoyt. I'VE can account for that money,
every dollar of it, if necessary"
According to Mr.. Hoyt's explanation
the extra $500 was for the purpose of
meeting a deficit growing out of the
expense attendant upon printing and
mailing the proceedings of the conven-
ton.
