REALIZE THEIR GUILT
IN SPITE OF JURIES
May Clark and Ruth Banks, Who Es-
capped Conviction, Plead Guilty.

Three members of the alleged quar-
tette Of pOrch-climbers, arrested in
this city last summer, following num-
Der Of robberies, have pleaded guilty
to the charge of grand larceny, and
the fourth member, Irwin Brown, II
was stated yesterday, would be re-
leased from custody, as it is thought
there is not sufficient evidence against
him to secure a conviction.
The first Of the quartette to plead
guilty was James Scott, the negro, ar
raigned last week. May Clark and
Ruth Banks, the two women in the
case, yesterday asked permission to
change their former pleas of not guilty,
to guilty. 1t was accorded.
The Clark woman had been tried and
acquitted on one Of the indictments
against her, and the jury had just been
secured for her second trial when she
entered a plea of guilty. The Banks
woman was tried Immediately follow
ing the Clark woman, and the jury, af-
ter being out twenty hours. reported 20
Judge Kelly yesterday that there was
no chance of an agreement being
reached and the jurors were discharg-
ed. Then the Banks woman came into
court and pleaded guilty. The jury
which heard her case stood eight to
four for conviction.
Scott and the two women will be
sentenced later by Judge Kelly. Brown
is the only one member of the party
who has not been on trial, and while
he is still in custody, 1t was said last
night that the indictments against him
5sould be nolIed, thus disposing of all
of the cases growing out of the arrest
of this Quartette last summer.

SAYS BROTHERS-IN-LAW
POUNDED HIM BADLY
Harry kohn Experiences a Family Jar
and Asks for Warrants.

Harry KOhn, an uphOlsterer, applied
to City Prosecutor Keller yesterday for
warrants for the arrest of his two
brothers-in-law, Nathan and Morris
Cohen, who, he says, assaulted him
Monday night with slingshots, brass
knuckles and other weapons, and then
threatened his life.
Kohn lives at 205 Grove street, and
had trouble with his wife Monday
morning. He says he had taken a few
drinks Sunday night, and Monday
morning when he arose from a restless
slumber, he asked his wife for the price
with which to purchase a bromo-seltz-
er. When this request was made, Kohn
says his wife hurled pot of boiling
coffee at him and then told her broth
ers that he had assaulted her.
That night, according to Kohn's
story, the two brothers came to his
house, and after he had invited them
to remain all night and while he was
rolling cigarette for one of them,
both jumped onto him and beat him in
a terrible manner.
Kohn's face and head are badly
bruised, and were we'll bandaged when
he applied for the warrants last even
ing. He says he was not allowed to
go to his home at all Tuesday nig&,
but was compelled to remain down
town, fearing a repetition of the Mon
day night affair if he again encounter
ed his relatives. Prosecutor Keller told
KOhn to return this morning and the
warrants would be issued.

FARMERS MUTUAL
| COMP ANIES PROSPER
Insurance Commissioner Saws
They Have Saved 81, 50O,-
900 for Members.

Half hundred delegates to the an
nual convention of the State Associa-
ton Of Farmers Mutual Fire Insurance
Companies assembled at the capitol
yesterday.
President J. r. Furlong, of Austin,
delivered his address, which showed
that 1876 companies were doing bust
ness in the state and that 100000 pol
icy holders carried insurance aggregat-
ing $4,000, 900.
w. D. Forbes. Of Des Moines, presi-
dent Of the national association, was
present, and spoke briefly. He said
the first fire insurance company Or
ganized in America was a farmers
mutual and these had prospered ever
since. The principle Of the companies
was self protection to members at act
ual cost.
Insurance Commissioner Dearth an
swered. numerous questions put to him
by delegates, and said the farmers
mutual companies had done the farm
ers more good than any other organi-
cation. They represented a saving Of
$1,500,000 to the members.
He hesitated to make any recon-
mendations as to changes in legisla-
ton which would extend the line of
risks to include risks in the villages
and cities of the state. He was OPP
posed to the idea of township COM
panies uniting in other companies, for
the reason that if the members were
assessed and then the other company
failed, the township companies would
be out. 1.-The best policy is not to take
any business beyond what you can
safely carry yourself" said the COM
missioner.
Addresses were made by S. M. Owen,
of Minneapolis: Prof. Shaw, of st. An
thony Park; H. V. Poore, Of Bird ISL
49, u
F. M. Payne, of Pipestone, and G. D.
Stewart, of Redwood Falls.
The convention will complete it's
business and elect officers today.

The Great Northern Flyer from the

the opposite direction The collision
was head-on, and beyond injuring the
engines and baggage coaches, did lit

tanned some injury but the passenger
cars were uninjured, and all the pas
sengers escaped harm.
The engine of the freight train was
shattered and Engineer Walter Hud-
son, of Grand Forks, had one foot cut
off. Fireman Welter also sustained in
juries. His leg was crushed, and it is
thought that it may have to be am

passenger train, received a cut over
his eye, but was otherwise not badly
hurt. -.
A wrecking train was in the yards
when the accident occurred, and with
it's assistance the tracks were soon

GILBERT PLEADS
FOR CAPITOL
Calls Attention to the Lack
Of Extras in Ac-
counts.

Attached to the report of the capitol
commission submitted to Gov. Van
SAINT, and published in Il he Clio b e
yesterday, was communication from
Cass Gilbert, architect of the building.
In his report to the commission Mr..
Gilbert says:
Il take this occasion to again call
attention to the very low percentage of
extras incurred since the contracts
were let 1t is to be noted that the
extras on construction amounted to
IL per cent of the contracts. The
extras on change of design directed
by the board amounted to less than
7-10 of per cent, or a total amount of
1.8 per cent of the cost of the work.
I know Of no other public building of
this character wherein the percentage
of extras has been so low.
1.-THE modern requirements of a first
class building are steadily increasing,
and larger and more comprehensive
heating and ventilating systems are
required than formerly, the entire
system Of electrical equipment and
operation has grown up within a few
years, the installment of local tele-
phones, call bells, heat control and
other items of convenience have be-
come practical necessities, and finally,
in order to make a public building
ern construction and finish, it should
be adorned with mural painting and
sculpture of suitable character.
Nothing will give the building
greater distinction or lend more to it's
educational value and to the evidence
of the advancement of civilization and
intelligence of the state than the rec
ognition of the arts, as represented by
the great painters and sculptors of the
present day, and I unhesitatingly and
strongly recommend that ample provi-
sion be made to decorate the building
with mural painting and sculpture, and
call especial attention to examples
which may be found in the new library
Of congress, in addition to the Boston
state house, Boston public library, the
new court house at Baltimore and
other important buildings in various
parts of the United States, where this
subject has been given serious con-
sideration.
'In conclusion I would say that the
workmanship and the material used in
the construction Of the building has
been Of excellent quality; that, when
completed, the building will be entire
ly f1reproof and thoroughly modern in
its appointments and general charac-
ter

COURT WILL BE EASY IF
COUPLE WILL MAKE UP
{. J. Peyer Found Guilty of Subjecting
His Wife to Exposure to the Cold.

E. J. Peyer, Of 10 Charles street, who
was arrested last week upon the COM
plant Of his wife, who said he had put
her out of the house at o'clock in the
morning of a cold night, when she was
clad only in her night dress, was yes
terday found guilty of assault by Judge
Finehout, and sentence will be pro-
nounced Friday.
The court, after hearing the testi-
mony in the case, remarked that though
the wife was probably much to blame
for the actions of her husband, he
would be lenient if the couple were de-
sirous of again living together and
willing to forget their past troubles.
Peyer testified that he had gone home
late at night and that his wife, in a
passion of anger, had run out of the
house of her own accord, instead of
being forced out, as told by her.

WHITNEY WILL GET
JOB THAT PAYS
State Printer Is to Have Board of Con
troll Place.

A host of the political friends of Capt.
G. c. Whitney, who a day or so ago an
nounced that he would retire from the
position of state expert printer May 1,
shook their heads and intimated that the
captain was certainly a trifie wrong at
the top in throwing up $1,000 political
job to go into business.
1t has leaked out, however, that Capt.
Whitney has an eye to the main chance
and is not overlooking ANYTHING AS a q
matter of fact he will give up a 81, 100
job, but he will step into $4,000 one,
which is slight increase" as Col. Trow-
bridge puts it.
The services of Capt. Whitney during
the last campaign have frequently been
commented on by Gov. Van SAINT and
what is more to the point Judge Jamison
and Jim" Martin have also commented
on his brilliant work as secretary of the
state central committee. Between the
trio it has been urged that when the
term Of s. w. Leavett. now chairman of
the board of control, expires in April that
Capt. Whitney shall be appointed to fill
the vacancy.
Capt. whitney has given it out that
when he leaves the office Of state expert
printer he would go into ''other business
and as a member of the state board of
control for six years he will certainly be
engaged in other business.
