Evening".
Native daughters and sons of Minnesota
to the number of tourscore attended the
second annual re-union of the Native Sons
of Minnesota at the Holmes hotel last
evening. 1t was a thoroly enjoyable oc-
casion. At the banquet Henry G.. Aldrich
postmaster, called upon Henry r. Adams
for a response to the toast Minnesota"
Carl E. Van Cleye told of the early days
of St. Anthony, when the old Red river
carts, whose creaking axles could be
heard for miles, were the only means Of
transportation. He referred feelingly to
the touching story of Nesmith's cave, the
old ghost. John Pillsbury's old black horse
and to$ old andmarks. Edward G. Gale
spoke Of Father Hennepin and during his
remarks read passages from his writings
describing his visit to the falls of the Mis-
sissippi, which he named the falls Of st.
Anthony Of Padua. Mr.. Gale suggested
that a statue or monument in honor Of
Father Hennepin and the discovery Of the
falls should be erected at some conspicu-
Gus place, preferably in Bridge Square.

THE UNIVERSITY
NAUGHTY, BAD ENGINEERS
They Stuffed Ballot Boxes and Other
Freshmen Decide to Ignore
Them.

! L Z . .
The freshmen in the academic de-
partment at the university set a note
worthy precedent at the organization
unanimously to exclude the engineers
from their organization. The class will
meet Tomorrow for the election Of
officers.
The decision was taken on the rec
concentration Of both faculty and up
per class students who had witnessed
the rough houses" and free -for-all
fights which had been attendant upon
the elections of the! sophomores and
juniors. In both OF the latter cleo
tions the engineers defeated the will
of the majority by ballot box stuffing
and other illegal methods.
Cribbing Must Stop.
The faculty has decided to stop
"cribbing. The action Of the en-
cheering faculty'in ssuspending three
under-class men yesterday for cheat
ing in an examination Is the first re-
suit of the new policy. s..
For persistent and repeated cases Of
cribbing the faculty. provides expulsion
from the institution, but for the first
offense a system Of indefinite suspen-
sion will be tried. The academic
faculty will pr bab bly, consider the mat
ter at its next nleetilg, and it is not
unlikely that a fist Of cribbers will be
reported for suspension.

G.. HlTsAHOT LEADIBAN ON The FERRET
District Court Is Expected to Sit
Down Hard on Tax
Sleuths.
Decision on the Paul Injunction
Is Due Any Time
Now.

: # i . y NJ q i :
is generally believed that Henne-
pin county will have no official tax
ferret. The injunction applied for by
A. c. Paul Of the Cmmercial club to
restrain the county commissioners and
other officers from carrying out the
terms Of the contract with j. j. Wool
ey. appointed assistant to the county
attorney, will in all probability be
granted and unless a reversal Is OBJ
tanned in the supreme court, which is
regarded as extremely unlikely, Mr..
Wooley will have to forego the pleas
lire of catching local tax dodgers.
Such. at least, is the status of the
noted tax ferret case at the present
time. The judges of the district
bench now have the application for
an injunction under consideration, but
from an unofficial expression it seems
to be the general opinion that the law
is on the plaintiffs side and that the
county commissioners had no authority
to enter into the contract with Mr..
Wooley. The decision will probably
be made within a few days.

Crooked Work in Connection With
Charities and Corrections
Orders Disclosed.
Executive Men Of the Department
May Have to Face Serious
Charges.

A thoro investigation into the affairs
of the last board of charities and cor
fections is now being made by the
grand jury. Much evidence has been
introduced and indictments may re-
suit.
Irregularities in dealing with vari-
Gus merchants, the improper purchase
and use of groceries and other pro-
visions, are said to have been discov-
cred and the evidence laid before the
grand jury This theory is borne out
by the fact thathnot only.'Were poor
department officials called before the
investigators this morning. but two
or three local grocerymen spent the
forenoon awaiting their turn to. ex-
plain deals had with the Anes
board of charities and corrections.
Edward Ekman, C. HI. Browns sue
cessor as bookkeeper, for the poor. de-
partment, was the first and principal
witness to be summoned. Mr.. Elk
man, since taking charge of the
books recently. has made a systematic
inspection Of the last boards records,
with the result that he has discovered
many suspicious irregularities. He
informed the grand jury of all Of these
and explained their significance as he
understood them. He states, how
ever, that he does not claim any great
shortage In the funds, simply irreg-
ularities in the buying of groceries,
provisions and fuel. i.

coHENs MOTION TO qUAsH.
Hangs on Varying Testimony of Grand
Jurors

Jurors.
An issue of fact having been raised
by the divergent testimony of grand
jurors as to what Joseph Cohen swore
to when, called before the jury, a ques-
ton now arises as to whether the court
can dispose of defendants motion to
quash the bribery indictment, on the
ground that he has given testimony
on the offense charged. 1t is a nice
legal problem and Judge Simpson adj
mitted yesterday that he wished to
take time to consider it and would
announce his decision Friday morning.
In the final argument on the motion
to quash yesterday afternoon, County
Attorney F. II. Boardman raised the
point that a motion to quash was not
the proper practice in the present mat
ter, but that the defendants testimony
before the grand jury; being a bar to
indictment was the subject of plea
IN bar and a question for the jury to
decide. He stated, however, that he
was willing to waive this technicality
and have the court pass upon the main
issue.
Judge Simpson said that if both
parties were willing to admit Fore
man w. l.. Harris statement as true
he could then decide the motion, but
If they would not then an issue of fact
was raised by the testimony Of the
grand jurors and the decision became
one for a jury to settle. Frank Lar
rabee urged the court not to put the
state and the defendant to the expense
of a long trial when a. sure defense
existed and would prevail in the end.

HEIR TO A FORTUNE
Son Of 9 Wealthy Norwegian Elk
porter Appears in Police
I'll Court.
Says He Stole While Drunk, but
Admits That He Deserves
Penalty.

Anton Mohn, son Of William A.
Mohn Of Bergen, Norway, wealthy
exporter of cod liver oil and sea foods,
was in the municipal court this NOR
ming on two charges of petit larceny:
While on a debauch. Mohn took $40
from the trunk Of pickup friend,
Ole Holland. and pawned two over
coats belonging to- Brent Braarud. He
made a clean breast of the matter on
the stand, saying that he was under
the influence OF liquor for nine days
and did not know what he was doing.
However. he did not think his
drunken condition should palliate
his crime and said he deserved to be
punished. He was penalized $25 or
thirty days for the first charge and
sic or ten for the second.
-oung Mohn has been travelling
thru TIL" United States and according
to his own story has failed to take
good care of himself. He is the heir to
his fathers estate, which is said to
be one Of the largest in Norway, and
has always had his own way in every
thing. This morning as soon as the
court passed sentence he telegraphed
to his fathers agent in Chicago, tell
ing him Of his trouble and asking for
funds. He says he intends to return
to Norway as soon as the affair is
settled.

an orphan, without money, and a con-
sumptive, has thru the Humane So
cfety found a: home. The society re-
ports that the household into which
the lad will go is an excellent one,
leaving nothing to be desired In that:
direction. Others who were eager to
give aid in, the case have contributed
clothing and still others have given
and will give money as needed, SO

somber hue and contains much Of

disease which threatens to undermine
his system.
