BEvERIDGE's IDEA OF WORK
Indiana Senator's Experience With
 n Russian Interpreter.

Indiana Senator's Experience With
 n Russian Interpreter.
 When Senator Albert J. Beveridge of Indiana was gathering material in Rus sia for his book, The Russian Ad- vance, recently published by the Har- pers, he had an amusing experience fdge has the prime quality of the sue cessful man, q capacity for hard work. Having engaged the interpreter, Mir. Beveridge started in on good day of American hustle with this result: After first day's work, from a. m. to p. m., interpreter somewhat exhaust ed, MT. Beveridge fresh and hearty: after second day's -.er.'+. same hours, interpreter ga nveridge en- thusiastics work for ncxi [ work, inter- {i for rest, Mir. ,> ,',G,ss t>.s. -..-.s slving his per mission. But after that day the inter- preter never turned up again. Later the senator heard that he complained he couldn't work with 8 man who wanted to do years work in a day. Subsequent frequent relays of fresh in- terpreters enabled MT. Beveridge to ac- complish his own work in his own way.

GRAND JURY PUZZLES THEM.
Mike RresIauer Called In and Aid. Powers
Sent For


the Hennepin county grand jury is still
probing the alleged corruption of the Min
neapollS city council in a manner that
greatly puzzles interested parties outside
the jury room.
Several events that occurred Yesterday
complicated the conclusions of the crowd
that is waiting in the corridors of the court
mouse for information. Mike Breslaler
prominent in Minneapolis Democracy.
was called in yesterday and his presence
created numerous surmises as to what he
would have to tell
Judge Pond made a second visit to the
Jurymen. and expressed himself in loud
voice. His oratory could be heard in the
corridors, although his meaning could not
be understood. Frequent dull thuds told
that the judicial fist was irnpressing facts
on the table.
The incident that caused the most as
constituent was the withdrawal of fore
man C. A. Quist from the jury room 1t
was rumored that his fellow workers had
requested the absence of the foreman. but
several members of the jury intimated
That the rumor was without foundation.
AID. Powers was sent for and kept
waiting in the corridor for some time He
expressed himself freely concerning one of
the Jurymen, and informed the bystand-
ers If the jury allowed him to talk freely,
he would start something.
Ii is supposed that Mr.. Powers was
called in to tell what he knew concerning
certain hose deals. Some time ago the al
derman charged an agent for a hose house
with attempting to bride him. He had
no evidence but his word, and the matter
was dropped.

SULLIVAN STIRS UP
THE DRY BONES
Makes Strong 7 arlff Speech and
Will Cut Deeply Into Iowa
Republican Vote.

Special to The Globe.
DIES MONIES, Iowa, Oct. S.-Jerry
B. Sullivan, Democratic candidate for
governor, who is making magnificent
campaign and promises to cut deeply
into the Republican vote, spoke this
evening before large and enthusiastic
audience at Iowa City. He said:
The highest duty of a common
wealth is to promote the happiness and
prosperity of the people. l ask not how
your vote may be cast for whom or
what party, so long as it comes from
the heart that places country above
party. Party platforms are meaning
less unless intended to be woven into
law for the benefit of the people.
There is federal taxation in the in
terest of small but powerful class of
our citizenship. Taxation in any form
is a burden. The present system takes
from the pocket of one man a dollar
and gives it to another without any
compensation therefor. The tariff pol
icy of the United States is a selfish
one. All tariff laws should be enacted
on strictly revenue basis. Protection
is but a tribute levied upon thrift and
industry to support and maintain a few
in wealth and idleness. 1t has never
been denied that the consumer pays
the tax
The tariff on coal is indefensible.
The people should assert their rights
and strike down the evil at the ballot
box. The tariff is the basis of all trusts.
Our people have not given the trust
question all the attention it deserves.
The greatest monopoly on earth is be-
ing formed today by gigantic merger
OF the railroads.
1T is the fundamental principles of
the Democratic party that the money
Of our country should be under the
control of the general government and
a quantity sufficient for all practical
purposes. Personally, 1 am an old
fashioned Democrat, believing in the
use of gold and silver as the money of
our country, and so believing, l cannot
bring to my>mind the thought that the
bank has greater power or is more Sc
cure than the government itself
IF the people of the United States
elected their senators as they do their
representatives, you would not have as
many men in the United States SEN
ate so antagonistic to tariff reform as
you have today. 1 wish my country to
be a commercial wonder. 1 wish the
fruits of her labor, the products of her
soil to enter every known port and I
wish it to be welcomed by the hand of
the free, not by the chained hand of
the slave

the discussion of papers. A resolution
advocating reciprocity with Canada was

UNCOMFORTABLE CLOSE
ESCAPE HAVE THEY
Men Are Locked in Gage With Three
Giant Pythons.

NEW YORK, Oct. At 10
O'Clock yesterday morning, accord
Ing to the keepers, Curator Raw
mond l.. Ditmars set out to perform
an operation on the biggest of the
pythons. The reptile is more than 25
Feet long, weighs 240 pounds, and. even
when he isn't full of snake dinner. has
rotundity OF some 80 inches, mostly
muscle.
Some time ago-in fact, several years
ago-the python developed an abscess.
or sore OF some malignant sort In his
mouth.
The other day it was noticed that the
python's sore mouth had not been COM
pleteiy cured, and it was determined to
perform another operation on the big
feiloW. Mr.. Ditmars came to the con-
ciuslon that five men could handle the
Dig feilow without trouble, and decided
to limit his force to that number.
Mr. Ditmars and his assistant,
Michael O'Keefe, went into the cura-
TORS office to mix up a solution they
intended to use. Meanwhile Head
Keeper Edward C. Snyder and his as
sistants, George Mulvihill and John
Tuomey, went into the reptile house to
get things ready.
At that time the big python and
three companions were coiled up in a
squirming mass in one corner of the
cage. Snyder, according to the account
OF the affair as given to the reporters,
opened the door of the cage and went
IN with couple of heavy blankets
which he threw over the snakes. Then
he began to feel around for the head of
the big python. He finally found II.
and turning UP little corner of the
blankets, reached in and got his hands
upon the snakes neck
Then MulVihjlI and TI1or1oax, 1,1,,o,o5
into the cage. They had two things to
DO, to drag the big python out and at
the same time keep the other three
from getting out to make trouble. They
soon had their hands very full.
AS they related it, the three men had
got the big python out from under the
blanket, when the reptile wound his
tail around Snyder's legs and began to
squeeze as only a good, healthy python
can. Mulvihill and Tuomey were at
tending to the three snakes that were
Still under the blanket. but they had
to drop that to keep the big python
from getting his coil around Snyder's
waist. In the wrestling one of the men
accidentally kicked the door of the
cage shut.
The door is self-locking and couldn't
be opened from the inside. The men
began to shout for aid. There was not
a. soul in the reptile house, and the
door of DR.. Ditmar's Office was closed
and neither he nor O'Keefe heard the
shouts. One of the men In the cage
reached into Snyder's pocket in a lull
in the fight and got Snyder's emer-
gency whistle. Blasts on that didn't
bring any answer.
The curator and O'Keefe finished
mixing up their snake medicine In
time and came over to the reptile
house several feet aWav When thew
reached 1t the fight was at it's best.
Ditmars and O'Keefe jumped into the
cage and Joined in.
The five men soon had the big snake
subdued. Ditmars hit it on the head
and stunned it so that 1t was easy to
take its coil off Snider's legs. Then,
the other snakes being kept under the
blankets, the men hauled the big one
out of the cage head first.
