In Atlantic Waters.

The United States Fish Commission
is about to undertake an experiment,
the outcome of which is fraught with
commercial Importance. 1t is proposed
to introduce a large number of Pacific
coast salmon into the waters of the
Atlantic in an effort to build up a SAL
mon industry on the eastern coast to
rival that of the western coast. Elk
perts of the commission are now en-
gagged in making an investigation of
the waters inhabited by the Atlantic
coast salmon to gather additional facts
regarding its habits, food, growth, and
life. They will make a study of the
coast waters of all the New England
states.
Some eight or ten years ago the COM
mission made a similar experiment, but
1t was a failure. About 5000, 900 fish
were released and disappeared. Differ
ent methods are to be pursued this
time, and it is hoped that better re-
suits may be obtained.

HIS OWN POLITICAL GAME
Nice Little Graft Scheme Of Patrick
McElroy that. Wouldn't.
.z Work Here. ssz

Patrick McElroy, who says he is an Of
fetal Of high standing in the National
Irish American association, but who in
reality is believed to be. a smooth conf
dence man., left town in a hurry last
evening, and promised that he would
stay away. .s=fs#. ~
McElroy works his game exclusively
among political men. He goes to a can
didates office and briefly states his bust
ness and shows the candidate the num-
Der Of Votes he can control. He agrees
to swing the entire Irish vote If the cam
didate will contribute satisfactory
amount for campaign expenses. Every
true Irishman, he says, obeys orders from
the headquarters of the national asso-
citation" It is said by those acquainted
with him that his game has been worked
successfully in all parts Of the country.
Tuesday McElroy came back to Min
neapolis and called on State Senator J. F.
Calhoun. He made proposition, show
ing him letters and petitions from promi-
nent politicians. He also had a length.
subscription list bearing prominent names
He offered to work toward Mr.. Calhoun's
election in 1904 IL he had $25 to start
with. Mr.. Calhoun promptly turned him
down, but wisely kept the subscription
list, which proved, to be complete for.

The police were notified Of McElroy's
presence in the city, and last evening he
was met by Detectives Grumpy ant
Brown and beat a hasty retreat.

EMPL0YE MAY TAKE RISK
If He Does He Cannot Recover,
Under the Minnesota Fac
tory Law.

A decision involving the Minnesota
factory law, and another regarding
a similar Missouri law, were filed to-
day in the federal circuit court of
appeals at ST. Paul by Judge San
born.
The Minnesota case is that of the
Glenmont Lumber company, plaintiff
in error, against Theodore Roy. Roy
was an employee in the Glenmont COM
pany's sawmill- at Cass Lake in Octo-
Der, 1900. 1t was his business to use
a canthook in guiding logs upon a
circular saw, and in that work he
was required to stand upon a bum
per. His canthook slipped and he
fell upon the saw injuring his hand.
It appears that various precautions
for safety had not been taken by the
company.
Judge Shiras, in the circuit court,
refused to direct verdict for the de-
PENDANT company, and the jury gave a
verdict of $500 for Roy. The Glen
mont company appealed from this re-
fusal to direct a verdict. The court
Of appeals finds that Judge Shiras
erred, and reverses him. Judge San
born lays down the law as follows:
The factory act Of Minnesota, which re-
quires employers to guard, or fence dang
erous machinery, as far as practicable
does not abolish the defense of assumption
of risk. 1t does not deprive parties Of the
right to contract regarding the risks OF
their avocations. An employee cannot be
heard to say that he did not appreciate OF
realize the danger where the defects were
obvious. and the danger would have beer
apparent to an ordinarily prudent person
Of his intelligence and experience in his
situation.
| In short, Roy took the risk when he con
tinued work instead Of quitting his job

NO HOME FOR DENLY
Aged Paralytic and Insane Man
Finds All Doors Barred Against
Him.
He Cant Get in Hospital, Jail, Poor
Farm or Insane
Asylum.

George DENLY was dumped on the
doorstep Of the city hospital this morn
ing by a deputy sheriff. and the board
of charities and corrections is all
stirred up. DENLY is old, and par
alyzed, and, according to the decree of
the probate court, is also insane.
In spite of this 1t appears that he
cannot find an abiding place at the
hospital for insane at st. Peter, nor at
the Hennepin county poor farm, nor
at the city hospital, nor at the county
Jail. He has even been thrown out of
a place that prides itself on the ex-
tent of it's charitable work.
City Physician George e. Kicker is
thoroly convinced that DENLY does not
belong to the city hospital, which is
for emergency cases and contagious
cases only and is not a poorhouse for
the care of paupers nor a hospital for
the cure of insane patients. He be-
came very wroth when informed of
what the sheriff's office had done and
at once consulted the mayor and Su-
perintendent William Barton of the
poor department. The problem is still
unsolved.
DENLY is an Englishman, but has
lived IN this country for some time.
He has daughter in this city. Some
time ago while an inmate of st. Bar
nabas hospital he was declared in
sane. and committed to ST.. Peter. DR.
Tomlinson promptly sent him back to
Minneapolis on the ground that the
old fellow was incurable and helpless
Every door in the city, public and
private, was shut against him. The
sheriff had to look after him and lock
him up with his prisoners. But the
man had committed no crime, and the
Jail was clearly no place for him. II
is believed that such cases should be
sent to the poor farm.
DENLY is not dangerous, but he is
wholly helpless and apparently a
| pauper.

street., Minneapolis, who disappeared
under mysterious circumstances at

Is supposed to have been murdered.
Governor Van SAINT and Attorney GEN

terested themselves in the case.
Sullivan, who was %, was the main
support of his widowed mother, Mrs.
Catherine Sullivan. He was employed
at Blackjack and received good wages.
1t was understood that he had saved
money. Each week he wrote to his
mother, but his last letter was writ
ten April s and since then no trace
Of him has been found.
After waiting several weeks, the
mother went to Blackduck, but found
no trace of her son. She then COM
municated with Governor Van SAINT
and Attorney General Douglas, and
they, in turn, stirred UP the Beltrami
county officials. The detective has
not yet been able to find the man nor
his body, but has found evidence that
Sullivan was murdered for his money
and that his body was made away
with. Arrests are expected soon.

LIENS BODY GOES TO "U''
Halvor Anderson, Liens One Time
Prospective Partner, Refuses
to Bury It.

Halvor Anderson, who said he was a
cousin of Chris Lien, who was found dead
in down town alley, has wired to Chief
Cohroy refusing to bury Liens body.
Anderson went to Princeton, Mimi, 2
few days ago ad gave orders to hold the
body until he transacted some business
there, when he would return and have it
taken to Hanford, N. D.. for burial. He
told Morguekeeper Morton that he and
Lien intended to go into partnership in
the ranch business and that Lien had pre-
ceded ltm to Minneapolis to attend to
some important business. He offered no
explanation with regard to the refusal to
take the body to Hanford. The telegram
simply said:
Chief Of Police Conroy-Bury Chris
Lien there, as no one here is under any
obligations to him.
According to the state law the body was
last night delivered to the authorities Of
the university medical department.

REFoRMAToRY FOR WOMEN
Its Needs Are Emphasized by Mrs.
George r., Welsh,

The need Of a state reformatory
for women was made prominent yes
terday by the Minnesota conference
of charities and corrections. Mrs.
George r. Welsh of Fergus Falls, in
a paper on the subject, showed that
the only state institution to which
women criminals could be sent in
was the state prison, where
the environment was primarily for the
care of male prisoners. Yet few
of the female convicts were guilty of
offenses other than those connected
with disorderly houses. The majority
of such offenders were pun
ished lightly and a, small minority.
were unjustly sent to the states pris-
them still further instead of reform
ing them. The example of many
states had proved the practical ad-.
vantage Of reformatories for women.
Mrs H. A. Tomlinson Of ST. Peter
read a similar paper upon the same
theme. Superintendent c. E. Faulk-
ner of the Washburne Home, Mime
,apolis, suggested that the coming
:governor be requested to advocate the

Painter of Minneapolis.
In urging "Domest Economy for

structor at the state agricultural

quickly than ahard experience taught

Election Of Officers.
At the evening session James F.
Jackson of Minneapolis was elected
president Of the conference; j. t.
Schain, Browns Valley, and A. J. Eek

COHEN'S REASONS
His Counsel Argues that the Last
Indictment Must Be In
valid.
If Demurrer Is Not Sustained,
Chances Of Cohen's Conviction
Are Increased.

Did Joseph Cohen tell the w. l..
Harris grand jury the facts In connec-
ton with the Ames collection OF
"blood money" from women OF the
town? If he did, was 1t upon an un-
derstanding with County Attorney r.
H. Boardrnan that he would be used
as a witness In the Fred Alnes case
and thus escape prosecution himself!
These are the main questions
raised by the testimony introduced be-
fore Judge Simpson this morning on
Cohen's motion to quash the last in
Cohen on the stand this morning
claimed that he did tell the whole
STORY to the grandy jury, upon an un-
derstanding of immunity as set out IN
A. H. Halls affidavit already pub
lished in r h e j o urn al. The coun-
ty attorney testified that he had made
no promises to Cohen or to his at
torney that he would be used as
witness in the Fred Ames case. He
| did not believe Cohen was telling the
whole truth. Cohen, he said, divulged
nothing but what was already known
| in the county attorneys office, and
| therefore he was of no use as wit
ness
| Five members Of the grand jury
testified. Lucian Swift said that Co
t'hens testimony before the grand jury
was not, according to his best recol-
| lection, Identical with his statement
Of it this morning. Colonel Tanner, &C
cording to the witness, was not men
toned by Cohen in the grand jury
room and there were other dis
! crepancies.
! e. S. Corser's memory was too in
! distinct for him either to confirm or
contradict Cohen's statement.
w. H. Levings testified that Cohen
had been called upon an altogether
different matter, that he had been
asked no questions concerning the
Ames graft collection, and that if he
did tell anything of it he told it Of his
own volition and before he could be
checked by the jurymen who did not
want him to testify along this line.
Joseph Kiichli didn't recollect the
exact nature or extent of Cohen's tes-
timony.
M. e. Wood didn't think Cohen had

BECK JUSTLY PUNISHED
Court Tells Complainant in an Assault
Case He Should Avoid Max


{. Hans Beck, an expressman. received a
severe rebuke in police court this morning
for his actions in an assault and battery
case in which he was the complainant.
>: II. Vale, the baggagemaster at the
Union station, was the defendant. Beck.
according to Wales story came there
Tuesday night and tried to get some bag
gage without asking the permission of
any one. Vale asked him for the checks
and Beck retorted that he would wait on
himself. At this Vale ordered him out of
the place and said he was compelled to
use force to make him go. Witnesses cor
roborated Wales testimony and Judge
Dickinson, in giving his decision, said that
Beck was undoubtedly to blame and
should avoid making trouble if he wished
to keep out of danger. His injuries he
said were no more than just punishment
for his trespass.
