Potter. motioned him into the next
room, where Miss Ham was in waiting.
What went on in that room will prob
ably come out in the trial, If the case
gets that far. In short the attorney
and the two who were suspected to be
lovers, came 10 an agreement by
which the breach of promise suit then
TO be started would be dropped and the
two were to have no more 10 do with
each other.
Miss Hams attorney has in his pos
session a paper which Potter signed,
in which he pledged himelf to pay the
woman an annuity. After the meet
ing the deputy sheriff was instructed
to tear up the original notice and
pledged himself never to reveal what
transpired at the Ham residence that
night unless the case should come up
for trial. Potter was particularly
anxious that nothing should be said
about the signing of the papers.
A month ago Miss Ham complained
to her attorney that Potter was not
observing the agreement and instruct
ed him 10 communicate with Potter
and notify the Duluth lumberman
that unless he paid the annuity the
case would be pushed against him.

ShawneetOwn, H., Sept "A mob
of 80 masked men went to the jail here
yesterday and demanded that Jailer
Galloway turn over John Griffin, col
Ored, under arrest for an attempted
assault on Mrs. Joseph Hobbs, white,
near her own home. Griffin had been

AMES TO PRISON.
Minneapolis Judge Denies Motion of
Former Mayor for New Trial.

Minneapolis Judge Denies Motion of
Former Mayor for New Trial.
Minneapolis, Sept. Fudge G. B.
Elliott has denied DR.. A. A. Ames' mo-
ton for new trial. Nothing now re-
mains between the former mayor and
six years in the penitentiary for brib-
cry except an appeal to the supreme
court The case win be certified at
once and heard at the October term of
court, although this last effort is gen.
orally conceded to be a vain one.
The one point raised by the Ames
defense in the motion for a new trial
which assumed the dignity of a pos
sible error was the invalidity Of the i.,.
dictment on account of its omnibus
character. The form of the bill on
which DR.. Ames was tried and con-
victed is to a certain extent a mover
one. The bringing Of several acts with
in the scope of one distinct crime Is
new. If sustained by the supreme
court it Will mark an advance in Grim.
inal Jurisprudence in Minnesota.
In view of the broad decision of the
supreme court in the Fred Ames in
dictT ent seems already to have the
higher courts sanction. Even the
defense admits that the story of the
several transactions charged in this
indictment could, under the Fred
Ames decision. have been legally intro
duced as evidence tending to show a
general scheme of graft" This be-
ing admitted it apears to be a simple
and perfectly legal step to incorporate
them in the Indictment
The crime of bribery OF which Dr.
Ames was convicted, was only COM
pleted when Gardner paid the 5000
collected in pursuance of the doctors
orders, in one lump sum, at one time
and place, to the mayor who in return
thereby agreed to extend police pro
lection to the payees. This is the sum
and substance of the states conten-
ticn; on it the state drew the indict.

UNION BREAKS

Pitts5urg, Sept. Notwithstanding

glass manufacturers and workers to
keep all the factories closed until late
in the year. the Van Cleve works at
Kane, Penn, resumed i'm full yester-
day. The workers are members of the
windowglass workers of America and
their action, it is said, will result in
their expulsion from the union for vio-
lation OF orders. As a result there will
be at least one nOn-union windowglass
factory, which will be the first in the
history of the industry, since the pow
erful organization of the skilled glass
workers was formed mere than a quar-
ter of a century ago.

Dubuque. Iowa, Sept. 2.-Miss Sara
Ham OF Dubuque has brought suit
against George Potter, a millionaire
lumberman of Duluth, for 100000
damages for breach of promise. Pot
ter had visited Miss Ham numerous
times the past twenty years and the
latter alleges he had promised to
marry her.
Potter insists that Miss Ham is a
disreputable woman and that it is
case OF blackmail. The Ham family,
which at one time was the wealthiest
in Dubuque, was never prominent in
society here, and WI IN Mr.. Ham died
the palatial residence in the northern
part OF the city came into the hands OF
the two daughters. The Ham sisters
were very exclusive and whenever
they appeared on the streets it was in
a pretentiOus turnout
In her petition, which has been filed
at Duluth, Miss Ham refers to the sign
ing OF an agreement here last February
in which Potter pledged himself TO pay
an annuity of 1920 on condition that
she abandon herprOpOsed action against
him for breach OF promise. The cir
cumstances are well remembered by
Deputy Sheriff Dillon OF Dubuque, who
vas one OF the witnesses 10 the sign
ing OF the agreement, and pledged him
self TO keep the matter a secret so
long as Potter observed il.
IL was a dark and stormy night in
February. Deputy Dillon was at his
home when the telephone rang. He
was requested to come down town i'm
mediately and meet a member of the
law firm Of Henderson, Hurd, Linehan
a. Kiesel OF Dubuque. The two board
ed a car and when they alightsd after
a long ride Il was in front OF the Ham
residence. A knock brought Miss Ham
TO the door and the two were admit
ted. The attorney was clOseted with
the woman for haif an hour, while the
deputy sheriff was wondering what il
was all about When the attorney
and Miss Ham emerged the deputy
sheriff was shown a paper which was
an original notice in which Miss Sara
Ham was plaintiff in an action for
breach OF promise against a man
named Potter.
Presently there was a knock at the
door. Mr.. Dillon responded and from
out OF the darkness a small man sham
bled into the areaway. The deputy
asked him his name. Potter" he
muttered. and then moved into the sit
ting room with a stride of familiarity
with the premises. The attorney APP

MAKES MILK REPORT.
Agricultural Department Gives Inter
estinq FIGURES.

esting Figures.
Washington, Sept. 2.-The agricul-
tural department has made contrIDu-
ton to the general discussion on the
quality OF milk supplied 10 cIues. in
the shape of bulletin on that sub
ject, a large part OF which is devoted
TO the question of transportation.
The bulletin says the agitation OF
the question OF impure milk has re-
suited in improved practices on the
part of the persons handling this
article of food, but there is still mucn
room for improvement.
For instance, attention is called 20
the fact that the ideal vessel for the
conveyance of milk remains TO be dis
covered. There are many cities and
towns which have no legal regulations
whatever concerning milk. The opin-
ION is expressed that the agitation OF
the question has caused much I'M
necessary alarm. The figures show
that one billion gallons OF milk are
sold annually and the average quantity
per capita consumed in the largest
cities IS somewhat less than two
thirds OF a pint. The smallest con-
sumption is in New Orleans, where II
is about One-fOurth of a pint.
Milk is sold from $4,000 stores IN
New York city, o. an average OF on1
store to every 2S6 persons, and it is
delivered from 1000 wagons, or al
average of one wagon TO every S59 per
sons. In cities with a population above
$4,000, there is an average of one
wagon to 7S4 persons.
Some cities report several thousand
COWS in herds within their bound
aries, and most cities have quite a
number Of cows kept singly for the
private use of the owner.
q The tables show wide variation in
the prices paid for milk in different
parts of the country. Producers
usually receive on their farms from
two to three cents a quart in the sum
mer and three cents or more in winter.
but these limits are often exceeded.
On the other hand, in some cases, and
in some seasons, producers receive
less than two cents a quart. The
average price paid by consumers OF
milk when retailed in small quantities
is about six cents in summer and
seven cents in winter.
The report says that the practice OF
Pasteurization appears to be generally
though the medical fraterni-
ty is divided in opinion as to its ex-
pediency and the best sentiment
favOrs natural milk produced and de-
livered in such pure and protected
condition as to be greatly superior to
any Pasteurized article.

Washington, Sept. 2.-Chekib Bey,
the Turkish minister, has received from
the minister of foreign affairs at Con-

Turkish version of the reported at
tempt on the life of Vice Consul Ma
Celssen at Beirut. After declaring the
report. of the assassination of Magel-

version is practically the same as has
been told before in dispatches from
Turkey. 1t says a pistol was fired by
man returning from a marriage fete,
that the shot was fired in the air and
that it happened just as Magelssen was
passing in his carriage. This, the dis
patch says, led the Vice-Consul to be
lieve an attempt had been made against
his life. The man who did the shoot

judicial authorities. Chekib Bey's dis
patch also asserts that order and tran
