Former Mayor Consents to
Waive Extradition and
Come Home With Sheriff
Dreger-The Doctor in
a JubiIant Mood and Pos
sessed of the Idea That
High Political Honors
Await Him.
Special to The Globe.

Special to The Globe.
MANCHESTER, n. H, March "a
Dr. Albert A Ames tonight agreed to
withdraw the exceptions taken to the
decision in the fight to eXtradite him
and promised Sheriff J. w. Dreger that
he would be ready to leave with him on
the q. M train Saturday. Pusuant to
this agreement Mrs. A1nes went to
Hancock to pack her trunks, for she
is to make the trip to Minneapolis with
the doctor and the sheriff The plan is
to remain in Boston from Saturday un-
ill Sunday morning Sheriff Dreger has
arranged to take the 10:45 a. m. train
Sunday over the Boston e Albany and
Lake Shore railroads, which is due in
Chicago at 1880 a. m. Monday. He
win then proceed direct to Minneapolis.
Between now and Saturday Judge
Pike will doubtless be notified that DR..
Ames withdraws the appeal from his
decision to the supreme court and con-
sents to the execution Of the extradi-
ton warrant. AS Judge Pike has de-
cided that the governors order was
properly given, there is no necessity for
further proceedings in New Hamp-
shire.
DR.. Anes experienced a great change
of heart during the day. After a long
discussion he succeeded in convincing
Mrs. Ames that the best policy would
be to return to Minneapolis now rath-
er than prolong the contest from six
months to a year, as was possible be-
fore his attorney exhausted his re-
sources here. DR.. Ames has not been
doing any thinking for himself since
his arrest in Hancock nearly a month
ago. He has permitted his energetic
wife to play the successive moves, in
Guiding the insistent-claim that he
was physically incapable of leaving his
room, intended to block the extradf-
ton. But his appearance in court yes
terday did not bear out her claims and
he has been forced to admit that he is
well enough to make the journey. Be-
sides, it WAS question of raising $12,-
500 baiL-or go to Jail here.
DR.. Ames was quite jubilant tonight
and said he was confident of acquittal
and believed the people of Minneapolis
would be willing to re-elect him mayor
and the voters of the state would de-
light to elect him governor or United
States senator.
1t was learned late tonight that DR..
Ames was offered $12.5OO bail, but he
refused 1t and decided to return He

noon.

WOULD DESTROY
HOME INDUSTRY
Minneapolis Concerns Pro
test Against Trust
Buster"

If the efforts of the manufacturers
and Incorporated merchants of ST Paul
and Minneapolis have their usual eff
feet, the National Live Stock associa-
ton trust buster bill stands small
chance of enactment
Representative F'ryberger, Hennepin,
yesterday presented to the house a
formal protest against the passage of the
bill, signed by seVenty-one Minneapo-
lis concerns. The objections Of the
petitioners are Incorporated briefly un-
der three heads, as follows:
They claim that the bill, if enacted,
would compel incorporated home con-
Germs to make public their business.
while their competitors not incorporat-
ed, would not be compelled to give the
same publicity to their affairs. re-
sulting in an obvious prejudice against
the incorporated concerns business.
The second objection is on the
ground that the bill prohibits free and
open competition, and by so doing
would restrict the business of Mime
sofa concerns to the benefit of for
eign corporations. 1t is also claimed
that it will adversely affect Minnesota
credits and prejudice the DEVELOPMENT
of manufacturing interests in Mime
sofa.
The last objection is that the propos-
ed measure places unreasonable re-
strictions on transportation and there
by greatly endangers the business of
Minnesota corporations.
The petitioners are emphatic in the
statement that they have no objec-
ton to law for prohibition of rebates
and railroad discrimination, but be-
lieve that the present statutes, to-
gether with acts of congress, are ample
to obviate any evils along this line
that may arise

speculation in MINNEAPOLIS.

a. A. Ames has given up the fight,
according to letters received in Mime
apolis yesterday, and expects to make
his final contest in the Minneapolis
courts.
It is evident that the ex-mayor is
reckoning to a considerable extent on
Minneapolis public sentiment. He be-
lieves that there is a large and re-
spectacle element still loyal to him in
Minneapolis
About half the old-time supporters
believe that the "old man. has Quit.
They don't like the talk Mrs. Ames sent
out per Associated Press about Irwin
Gardner, who is believed to have stood
by Ames as long as any man alive
could have protected any other man.
Gardner is now the hero. He is be-
lieved to have stood pat when the air
was alive with treachery.
So far it is claimed only one side of
the question has been heard, and when
both sides are laid bare to the gaze of
the public there may be considerable
scampering among those who have
been loudest in their denunciation of
the alleged Wrongdoing of the former
mayor.
1t is not known just which case will
be moved against the doctor when he
appears, but it makes no difference
which one the state should move.
There will be no delay in the case go
ing to trial. His attorneys believe that
unless the bail is placed at too ex-
orbitant a figure DR.. Ames has friends
enough left in the city to put UP the
required cash bail.
DR.. Ames left Minneapolis July Is.
and went to West Baden, Ind, and
from there to Louisville, KY, where he
remained until about Dec. 1, when it
is thought that he had been apprised
of Sheriff Dreger's presence in Louis
Vile and left that city between two
days, going direct to Hancock, N. H.
where he was located. The subsequent
proceedings are fresA in the minds of

FARMER KILLS HIS
FAMILY OF SEVEN
Does the Deed With a Sledge
Hammer, and Mortally
Wounds Himself.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, March -12.-Adolph
Krauss, German farmer, living twen-
ty-one miles west of st. Louis, nea1.
Bellfontaine, tonight killed his wife
and six children with a sIedge hammer.
1t is believed he suddenly be-
came insane. He had the reputa-
ton among his neighhors Of being a
quiet, industrious, inoffensive, con-
tented man and no cause but insanity
can be ascribed.
Tonight John Krauss, brother,
happened to go TO Adolph Krauss'
house to make call. The lights were
out, the door was open and this arous-
ed his suspicious that something
was wrong. He entered the house and
upon striking a light found that there
had been terrible tragedy. Adolpff
Krauss entered the house sometime
this afternoon armed with a Aedge
hammer. Without warning he struck
his wife on the head, killing her in
stantly. Then, seizing his first child,
aged twelve, he likewise dealt her a
murderous blow The other five chill
dren were killed similarly, the last be-
ing six-month baby. Krauss then
placed the seven bodies on the floor in
one room. He locked the door, dealt
himself blow, which stunned and
knocked him unconscious, his body
falling almost in line with those of his
victims.
When John Krauss learned of the
crime he summoned the authorities.
The bodies were taken in charge by an
undertaken, but it was decided not to
move Adolph. He will probably be
dead by morning.

The paragraph in the decree propos-
ing to refer the reforms to the pro-
vincial government councils is by-many
regarded as pointing in the direction of
constitutional government. 1t is con-
jectured that the czar is willing to en-
large the spheres of the zemstvos Che
elective district assemblies by permit
ting them to deliberate on matters of
local administration. In this connec-
ton, however, it must be remembered
that even last year Minister of Interior
Plehwe strongly resented and, in some
cases, punished those invited to gov
ernmental conferences who were bold
enough to touch on the need of legisla-
tive reforms. 1t is remarked that the
decree does not mention the removal of
restrictions on the press. For the mo-
ment, however, among the general pub
lie all these difficulties are forgotten in
the spirit of thankfulness at the pros
pect of the dawn of a new era.

FAVORABLE REPORT
ON CUBAN TREATY
Democratic Senators Secure
Victory in an Amend
ment.
from Globe Washington Bureau.

From Globe Washington Bureau.
WASHINGTON, D. c., March 12-
The Democrats have drawn first blood
in the extra session of the senate
through a victory won by the senate
committee on foreign relations regard
ing the Cuban reciprocity treaty. The
committee voted to report the treaty
favorably, which was done, but not
until an amendment had been adopted
requiring concurrent action on the part
of the house. The members of the mi
nority party have contended from the
first that it was necessary for the two
branches of congress to act Jointly on
Cuban reciprocity by reason of the
change in the revenues which is in
Volved by the ratification Of the con-
vention.
Inasmuch as the house will not meet
until next December, the treaty cannot
go into effect until after that time, even
If there is no opposition to it in its
platform. The result is simply to
transfer the fight from the senate to
the house, give opportunity for an ear
ly adjournment of the present session
of the senate and delay the cOnventic .
in it's purpose. 1t is believed the action
of the senate committee today remove
all opposition of the Democrats anS
that they will now vote as a unit for
the ratification of the treaty.
The opinion is also advanced that
the house will adopt a concurrent reso-
luton Immediately upon the converting
of the Fifty eighth congress.
Canal Treaty, Too.
WASHINGTON, D. c., March 12.-
There were important developments to-
day regarding the treaties pending in
the senate. 1t was decided to vote on
the Panama canal treaty on Tuesday
next and the Cuban treaty was report
ed to the senate by the committee on
foreign relations. The end of the work
for which the extra session was called
is therefore in sight. The agreement
to vote on the canal treaty was ar
rived at without discussion. The terms
had been made satisfactory to Senator
Morgan before the request to fix a day
for the vote. Individual Democratic
senators will offer amendments to the
canal treaty and will unite in pressing
some of them, but If they should be
voted down, as they undoubtedly will
be, the Democrats Will vote for rati-
fication. The progress made today
leads many senators to predict an ad-
journment by the close of next week.
Inclined to Reform.
The senate today adopted the reso-
luton introduced by Senator Allison to
authorize the committee on rules to sit
during the recess for the purpose of eX-
amining the rules. In this connection
Mr.. Platt (Conn.) gave notice of a mod
ification of the rules which he pro-
posed by which the senate at any time
by a three -f1fths vote in the senate
could make an order fixing the time at
which a vote should be taken upon any
pending question and fixing the limit
of time any senator could occupy in
| debate pending such final vote. This
proposition for cloture was in the form
of resolution. 1t was ordered to lie on
the table.

Johnson's Fight for Recogni-
ton as Author of Pending
Gross Earnings Bill Re-
suits in a Row and Threat
ems to Revive FactiOnal
Bitterness of Speakership
Contest.

The temper of the house as exhibit
ed twice yesterday indicates that the
bitterness engendered in the speaker
ship fight is not all dead, and what
seems like determined attempt to
bring about factional division, is again
in the air.
The trouble started Wednesday
morning, when Mr.. Johnson, of Henne-
pin, rose to remark that he had been
defrauded of credit due when the tax
committee reported in a gross earnings
bill, labeled as Fryberger's, when he
thinks the measure sent to the house
is really the result of his own hard
work in collaboration with Mr.. Shearer
Fight for Credit of Bill.
The talk in the cloak rooms was of a
more vftriolic nature than on the floor
and yesterday morning Fryberger,
from a question of personal privilege,
told the house that Johnson is enti-
tied to no credit. Mr.. Fryberger mod
estly admitted that the gross earnings
bill reported in, is his, and he could see
no merit in Johnson's contention which
he intimated was only a desire to butt
in"
Johnson persisted in his claim that
the reported bill should not be(sr Fry
berger's name, but should be known as
a committee bill, and the speaker pour
ed oil on the troubled waters which re-
mafned apparently calm until late in
the afternoon.
Mr.. Johnson asked unanimous con-
sent to introduce a bill to compel com
mon carriers to transport all live stock
at minimum speed of twenty miles
per hour from the time of it's receipt to
delivery, exclusive only of the time
actually required to load and unload
stock for water and rest as required
by law.
Attacks Committee.
The bill was received and then john
son moved that the railroads commit
tee be instructed to report 1t back with
in fortyeight hours. That was the
signal for the music. Representative
Gunder Krostue called, called loud and
nearly broke up the house by shouting
at johnson, who is a bridge builder,
Have you carload of cattle you want
to ship day after tomorrow"
Johnson was there with the retort
courteous to the effect that he did not
want the measure held up six weeks
by the committee, as had been done
with another of his measures. That
was construed as a direct attack on the
organization, and Krostue, seconded by
Burns, went after Johnson's motion for
stipulated report date In a manner
which resulted in it's withdrawal.

The house committee on general leg
lslatlon has devised a new method of
execution for the Peachey bill DESIGNED
to take the state educational fnstitu-
uons from the management of the
board of control.
The Peachey bill passed by the sem
ate last week was at once considered
by the committee and report for in
definite postponement as given its
counterpart, the Morley bill, immedi-
ately decided upon. The committee of
course, expected it's report to be over
turned, as was done in the case of the
Morley bill. The report was held an
parently awaiting a time when II could
be sent in with some chance Of ratifi-
cation.
Adopt New Tactics.
Yesterday a new tack was decided
upon and at a meeting hurriedly called
at noon, the report for indefinite post
ponement was reconsidered and the
bill amended. AS it now stands and as
1t will be reported to the house for
passage 1t bears little resemblance to
the original.
instead of relieving the Owatonna
and Faribault schools from board Of
cohtrol management, the local boards
are abolished and the Leavitt bureau
given entire charge. The university
and state normal schools are nomi-
nally relieved from board of control
management, but the state board is to
retain control of all architectural work
and manage all building and repairs or
betterments
Defeat Is the Object.
The changes in the bill conform with
the recommendations of the governor
and the governors wishes are cited as
explanatory of the committees change
OF front That it is only another meth
od Of securing the measures defeat IS.
however, the general opinion AS
amended the bill may appeal to the
university supporters, but It does not
give them the whole loaf they ask and
the amendments are reasonably sure to
precipitate row between house and
senate if the bill manages to squeeze
through the house.
A senate leader yesterday said that
as amended the bill could not repass
the senate and it is not far cry to
forecast its fate as leading to an early
grave in conference committee If It
manages to survive the wrestle with
the house.

you ever in all your life see such fine, orderly set of men as those trol- ley fellows who are out on striker Say, they are q credit to the ely, to themselves and to the company which discharged them for not reporting for duty when commanded to do so. Well, there's always two sides to all such misunderstandings, and we think the present trolley strike is no exception to the rule. Of course, the head "su- per" thinks there is only his side to the question, therefore there's no need of arbitration; but he'll find out different before the present trouble is over; he'll also find out that none or the officials will get round-shou dered counting the n'ckels and dimes ard in all probability, he'll find out if the men known as 'scabs" are worth what he's paying them. the old reli-- ables are worth at least S2.25 per day. A lady purchaser at our store when questioned if she had come on the trolley answered.. "NO and l haven't only one coat to my name. brt it was presented with a $100 soalskin l wouldn't ride until the strike is set tied" Such are the remarks you hear on all sides. Remember, 1t takes n cool head to go through such tan- talking situation and we say to al parties concerned if they will drink nothing but good Tea and Coffee they'll find everything will come out as it should (for the best). If they in tend taking our advice, thny should begin with the quality we sell.
